Evidence of Identity in Robbery
Case tiot C onvlnelng.
J. A. Woodson, tried for
robbery before Judge Seabrook j
yesterday, was found not guilty j
by the jury. He was charged j
with snatching a pocketbook from the
hands of Mrs. M. G. Clark, but the
identity of the defendant with the i
criminal was not established and a
verdict of not guilty was returned.
Lula Days was found guilty of lar- ;

brooke sentenced her to a term of

was manifest and the jury wasted very
little time in making up its verdict.
Judge Seabrook passed sentence also
in the case of William Jackson, who
had pleaded guilty to larceny after

OLD TIME HYMN BARRED.
Methodist Revision Committee Eli
minate “Sweet Hour of Prajer."
Cincinnati. Dec. 7.—The Methodist
hymnal revision committee, which is
in session in this city for the pur
pose of revising the hymn book, has
decided to eliminate that old favorite,
“Sweet Hour of Prayer,” objection to
the last line of the hymn being found.
The last verse is:
Sweet hour of pray'r! Sweet hour of
pray'r!
May I tny consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty hight,
I view my home and take my flight;
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting price;
And shout while passing thro' the air.
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of
pray'r.
The objection to the line was that
no Christian should bid farewell to the
last hour of prayer.
“He Leadeth Me. Oh. Blessed
Thought,” is another favorite taken
out.
Charles Wesley is a prime favorite,
and only two of his hymns will be
omitted. The old stand-by, “Jesus,
Lover of My Soul.” and “Rock of
Ages" and others similar will be re
tained.

Extraordinary Cure
A Statement Given by Thos.
C. Hall of Belle view, Fla.,
the well known Merchant
and firm of Hall Bros.
This is to c/rtlfy that I have been
afflicted with a very severe case of
stricture for the last twenty years and
have suffered untold misery. I have
been treated by over fifty physicians
In the states of Florida and Georgia,
some of them recommended to me as
being the very best physicians In the
South. They have used all forms of
treatment, some of them even operat
ed upon me and came very near kill
ing me. At last they gave me up and
I started for New York to have a sur
gical operation performed by a spe
cialist who was recommended to me by
these different physicians. While in
Savannah 1 was recommended to con
sult Dr. J. Newton Hathaway, a spe
cialist of that city, before going to
New York I did so but with little
faith. However, after talking with the
doctor 1 somehow felt as if he were the
man I had been looking for. as his con
fidence In his ability to cure me seem
ed to be sure and positive, so I placed
my'case Into his hands for treatment,
and to my surprise and delight In a
very few days I commenced to get bet
ter and after about two month's treat
ment I was discharged thoroughly
cured and have not had any trouble
whatever since that time. The pleasant
part of the treatment was that I was
not under any surgical operation,
neither was there any amount ot pain
caused by the treatment. This, I con
sider, wonderful, and I certainly be
lieve If all persons who are suffering
with stricture oould avail themselves
of the skill of Dr. Hathaway that they
would save themselves much suffering,
besides a great deal of expense. 1
was advised by a large number of reg
ular physicians that Dr. Hathaway
could not do anything for me, there
fore. while 1 had heard of his reputa
tion, 1 would not come to see him be
cause of their statements. 1 wish,
however, now that I had gone to him
when I first heard of his reputation.
I write this testlmonlay for pur
pose of benefiting humanity, regardless
of my personal feelings In the case.

Washington. Dec. —Mi's. Ada Gil
bert Dennis, a fashjdnable dressmak
er. was found in an almost con
dition in her room a| 5 ofclock this
morning under circu mstainces that
promise to rival trie .Bonine murder
case. Her skull was Oractiired, jaw
bone bnpken and left ea t alsuost sever
ed from the head. Htfr left- arm bore
ftroises judicative of a. struggle, and
her clothing and bedding were satu
rated with blood. She was removed
to the GarfiAld Hospital and a large
force of detectives put on the case.
The name of her assailant ite unknown.
The general Relief is Jbat Mrs.
Dennis was attacked while asleep in
her back room on the first floor, and
that the first blow, in all piohabiiity.
was administered w\ th a piatpo stool,
which was smeared w. ith blood, render
ed her unconscious. The prtdiminary
investigations by the police frill to in
dicate that there was any struggle.
Mrs. Dennis, in a const ious moment
while being carried to .the hospital,
ssjd that someone had "hui’t" her,
but when pressed for dftta'te merely
responded. “Never mind.”
Robbery apparently was not the
motive for the crime, as on the table
at the toot, of the bed in pl. Vin view,
was a stjuUl box containing c'< pocket
book well filled with greenbac Vs and
other money. There was a blcidv\v im
print of a hand on the piano lid -iS the
parlor and a window in that room was
open.
It is supposed the assailant escape 1
through this window. When Mi*a-
Dennis was found she was clad in her
night garments and was in bed, under
the cover. She wa£ partly conscious
although she has been unconscious
most of the time since. The detectives
are satisfied that several blows of the
piano stool must havte been wielded
with considerable force and that there
was no out dry. at least after the first
blow. Her groans, however, were
heard by a woman on the third floor,
and also in an adjoining house.
About the same time Policeman
Livingtson a.nd a watchman who
were two blocks away heard what they
believed to be a woman's scream.
Mrs. Dennis is about 47 years old,
and is one of the best known women
in business here. She is the widow of
Walter Dennis, an actor.

away our conscience truss of wnong-doing
with insincere platitudes about religion
and civilzation and to soothe our con
science whilst we rob and slag the
helpless, with the conceits of a self
deluding national vanity, then it had
been well for us, and for our children,
and our children's children that Dewey
had sailed away, though he had sailed
without compass, or rudder or objective
point, into the night of everlasting
mystery and oblivion. But I belteva i
nothing of the kind. I believe j
we shall prove a contradiction
to all the bad examples \
of history, to , all the warning voices
of philosophy, to all the homely pre
cepts of that conservatism which,
founded 1n the truest love of country,
yet takes no account of the revolution
wrought by modern contrivance upon
the character and movements of man
kind. I believe that the American
Union came among the Nations even
as the Christ came among the sons of
men. I believe that Constitutional
Freedom according to the charter of
American liberty Is U> government
what Christianity Is to religion; and,
so believing. I would apply the princi
ples and precedents of that charter to
the administration of the affairs of the
outlying regions and peoples come to
us as a consequence of war with Spain
precisely as they were applied to the
territories purchased of France and ac-
quired of Mexico; not merely guaran
teeing to them the saane uniformity
of laws which the constitution or
dains in t*he States of the Union, but
rearing among them kindred institu
tions. essential not less to our safety
and dignity than to their prosperity
and happiness. Entertaining no doubt
that this view will prevail in the final
disposition, my optimism is as un
quenchable as my Republicanism: and
both forecast in my mind's eye centu
ries of greatness and glory for us as
a nation and as a people.
Senator Hanna was the last speaker.
He confined his remarks entirely to the
question of ship subsidy and the latest
bill for that purpose, which has been
presented to Congress. He referred to
the fact that the American nation Is
to-day supreme In the agricultural and
Industrial business of the world, but is
at the wry lowest In regard to its
merchant marine.
Senator Hanna said:
"We are building a magnificent navy
and shall continue until we are second
to no nation. We should also build
something for that navy to defend. The
amount now paid annually by Ameri
can merchants into the pockets of for
eign ship owners is two hundred mil
lion dollars. No country on the face
of the globe could stand that drain
but the United States, and why need
we stand It? We can see how the sub
sidy Is affecting England In her war
with South Africa. Her vessels have
been taken for transporting her troops
and munitions, while the raw materials
from our mines, etc., are lying on our
docks awaiting transportation abroad.”
Mr. Hanna spoke of the bill intro
duced Into Congress last year and de
clared that the bill which was present
ed last Monday had been simplified and
modified to meet the objections to the
former one. He declared that the pres
ent bill was desgined to benefit Ameri
can owners arid American capital only
and that If. something was not done to
protect the American marine, every
hole would be plugged by merchants
of England, Germany and France until
the Americans should have to fight to
get In. He declared that the only so
lution of the problem was to place the
American merchant marine on an equal
footing with that of the other coun
tries. He gave figures to show that
the European countries are paying sub
sidies amounted to $28,000,000.

“BAROIi M. DE CORTI” IX A CELL.
Locked I'p (or Ills Rill at the Wal
dorf-Astoria.
From the New York Sun.
The Hamburg-American liner Palatia
that brought over Johann Beck In a
packing box, carried as a second cabin
passenger a young man who is thought
by the police to be the smoothest
swindler that has reached this town in
many a day. What name this young
man travelled under on shipboard the
police do not know as yet, but they do
know that he has been living in lavish
style at the Waldorf-Astoria since his
arrival, under the name of Baron M. de
Corty. That the man hasn’t any right
to the title the police are certain. That
he didn't get away with several thou
sand dollars worth of Jewelry from Tif
fany & Cos., was not due to his lack of
nerve.
This alleged Bnron registered at the
hotel as hailing from Paris. He hired
a SS-a-day room and Immediately set
to work to let every one in the hotel
know he was the real thing in the no
bleman line. Just as soon as his bag
gage was stored In his room he called
on Joseph Sealch. proprietor of the Op
era livery stables at AS East Thirty
se< ond street. Mr Sculch has the car
riage privilege at the Waldorf-Astoria.
To h!sn the Baron Introdueed himself.
He told who he professed to Ije ajid
where he was stopping, he said a
man of his rank would necessarily be in
need of an equipage to carry him about,
and he wanted Mr. Sealch to supply it.
The liverystable keeper was easily tak
en in by his visitor. That same day
the alleged baron had a team and
brougham at his disposal, with a coach
man and footman to boot. The baron
was to pay for all this by the month,
and of course, such a distinguished per
son wasn't asked to pay in advance.
The very fact that he lived at the Wal
dorf-Astoria, and was of good appear
ance, was sufficient guarantee to the
livery stable keeper that he was able
to pay his bills.
The brougham was always at the
Baron's service after his interview with
Mr. Seaich. He used it several times
a day. He drove all about the city
and seemed to be particularly delighted
with Central Park. When he was not
out driving he was swaggering about
the hotel. It seemed to be easy Cor
him to form acquaintances and he
treated them as a nobleman should
treat his friends. He dined with them
in the hotel and ordered the best of
wine. Everything was charged to his
account at the hotel.
He was such a great buyer of wine
that even the waiters began to marvel
at his capacity for holding it. He dis
pensed tips with a prodigal hand. Tak
ing the Baron's hotel experience as an
example, he played the part of the no
bleman clear up to the handle.
On Thursday he summoned the
brougham and told his coachman to
drive him to Tiffany's. In the Jewelry
store the Baron announced his alleged
identity and told a salesman that he
wished to buy a gift for his fiancee,
who was an Americn girl of wealth.
He said he wanted something in dia
monds and he selected a tiara and a
solitaire ring. They were valued at
$4,500. In payment he tendered a check
for that amount drawn on J. P. Mor
gan & Cos. He ordered that the Jewel*
be sent to the Waldorf that evening.
Then ihe Baron stalked out of the store
and into his brougham.
After he had departed It was thought
best to investigate the validity of the
check. As the banking house had clos
ed for the day this could not be done.
Nevertheless, the jewelery firm did not
intend to take any chances of being
swindled, and it was decided that if
the Baron wanted the jewels that night
he would have to pay cash for then..
That evening two salesmen were in
structed to wait upon the Baron at the
Waldorf and turn over the diamonds
to him providing he produced the cash.
When the men made known their er
rand the Baron seemed surprised that
any one should doubt his honesty or his
ability to pay his bills. He said that
he wanted the jewels that evening as
he intended to present them to the
woman he loved. The salesmen had a
rather delicate task before them but
they managed to let the alleged noble
man understand that he could not have
the Jewels without the cash.
Then the Baron tried anew tack io
get possession of the diamonds. He in
vited the salesmen to be his guests at
dinner. They accepted and he did the
honors most hospitably. He ordered a
fine meal and plenty of wine. During
the dinner he adroitly refrained from
talking about the diamonds. When the
dinner was over he remarked that he
was very sorry that he was unable to
pay cash for the jewels that night as
his money was at his bankers, J. P.
Morgan & Cos. The next best thing, he
said, was to give the salesmen a draft
on the hotel for the full amount of the
hill. This the salesmen politely but
firmly declined to accept.
The Baton seemed hurt and he said
that he would go elsewhere than Tif
fany’s in the future when he wanted
Jewelry. When the salesmen left they
carried the diamonds with them. The
Baron was so thoughtless as to forget
to ask them to return the check he had
given the firm early in the day.
Curious to learn if they had given
offense to a person of responsibility the
Tiffany’s inquired of J. P. Morgan &
Cos. if the Baron's check was all right.
They were informed that the Baron
had no funds there to his credit and
was unknown to the banking house.
This information the jewelrv firm
conveyed to George C. Boldt, proprie
tor of the Waldorf-Astoria, yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Boldt was dumfounded
as was his chief aid, Mr. Hilliard. They
agreed that the alleged Baron had a
good deal to explain. He owed the ho
tel $350 for his weekes' stay and they
decided to request him to pay up and
leave. The Baron was sent for and
he went to Mr. Boldt's office. His bill
was presented to him and he was told
that only cash would be taken in pay
ment.
“Oh, that is impossible,” said the
Baron airily, “as I carry very, little
cash around with me. I’ll give you a
check, however, on my bankers, J. P,
Morgan & Cos.”
“Oh, no you don't,” cried Mr. Boldt.
“I want the cash."
The Baron boldly produced a single
dollar bill and offered it on account cf
his bill. Mr. Boldt sent word to the
Tenderloin police station and Ward
man Edward Glennon and Detective
Farrell were sent to the hotel. They
took him to the police station on a
charge of violating the hotel law.
Once the police took charge of the
Baron he refused to talk. Before the
police arrived on the scene he was very
talkative. In the police station the
prisoner said he was Baron M. de Cor
ty. 22 years old. When asked If he had
an occupation he said he rode a bicycle.
He took his arrest coolly and went to
a cell smiling.
He had a number of letters and pa
pers In his pockets. The letters were
mostly written in German, and some of
them made it appear that the man had
also been known as Baron Martin von
Courty. The most important paper he
had was a Swiss passport issued on
Aug. 23 last, to Herr von Curty, a mer
chant of Luzerne. Switzerland. The
police believe the passport contains the
prisoner’s real name.
Soon after the man was locked up a
brougham drove up to the station
house door. The coachman and foot
man were in blue livery. They waited
there for ten minutes and then the
footman got down from the box and
went into the police station.
“Will you tell the Baron," the foot
man said to Sergt. Colton, “that his
carriage awaits him.”
"The Baron,” replied Sergt. Colton
with a grin, "told me to tell you that
he wouldn’t need the carriage to-night.
He has a very Important engagement
here.”

A Clothes Line Rescne
And What Happened to
the Rescuer.
The time is summer. The scene the
yard of a comfortable American home,
with rows of white garments whipping
in the breeze. Suddenly a little shower
begins to fall, and the anxious housewife
dashes out into the rain to snatch in the
drying linen. Her clothing is wet, her
feet are damp, but the clothes from the
line are dry, and she congratulates her
self. Next month she is sick from func
tional derangement in some form. She
realizes that she "must have taken cold”
and submits to the pain and discomfort
she endures. What she does not realize
is that in just such little acts of thought
lessness and their consequences there are
often sown the seeds of womanly ill
health. Women are peculiarly self-for
getful in their home life. They keep on
their feet when it means not only present
pain but future suffering. They work
when they should rest. They either do
not know or do not believe that the gen
eral health is so closely and intimately
related to the local womanly health that
when the latter is undermined there
must be a failing in the general physical
health.
TIIE WORTH OF HEALTH. •
A woman never knows what her health
is worth until it is lost. It is when she
has to leave the guidance of the house
to others wholly or in part; when she
has to see household duties neglected or
done in a slip-shod manner ; when she
has little voice in the home to command
or control; then it is that she realizes
what health is to her, and what she has
lost.
And yet in spite of her sufferings and
her helplessness she would no doubt be
a very indignant woman if some neigh
bor walked in and said abruptly, tVhy
don’t you get well f
But it would be a fair question. There
are hundreds of thousands of women
who have been cured of womanly dis
eases by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion, and every one of those women is a
living question asking:
Why don’t YOU get well?
Put away the idea that you cannot be
cured, because in thousands of cases
" Favorite Prescription” has cured women
who had suffered for years and were
deemed incurable.
Perhaps your case is different in some
respects from any of those you know of.
It is the cure of such cases which has
made Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
famous among women, for its remark
able cures of womanly diseases.
“conjurer" (for upon him the luck of
each party is concerned as they be
lieve), the Indians have met. for a
match in the famous game of “Cher
okee Ball.” In the distance, and yet
concealed, another challenging cry is
heard, followed later by the opposing
sides coming up, each man with a
bundle of clothes to bet on the issues
of the day, and to win, or, lose, in
the coming contest. Naked, except a
pair of knee breeches, arms, legs and
chest scratched deeply with bear claws
and rattlesnake teeth, to test the met
tle of each, a feather in the hair, the
advancing foes appear, first to bet each
one his pile on the success of the com
ing struggle, but lo! and behold what
Is this? A pair engage in an appar
ently death struggle, glaring at one an
other, a leap, a clinch, a wrestle and
one is down, only to rise after trying
to weaken his adversary to see who
is the best man, and to cut his wind
short, to make an easier conquest In
the coming game. Then the betting
begins. Paring handkeichlef#, dresses,
etc., each is deposited and placed in
one large bundle for to the “vivetor be
longs the spoils" literally in this case.
This over the real game begins by the
sides arranging themselves for the
fray. Each man has two scoops to en
able him to catch the ball between, and
noiy the game is on. A small
bail Is tossed in the air. each player
endeavoring to strike it with the scoop
toward the goal between two posts at
the ends of a large field. And now
the struggle beropies exciting, for as
soon as the ball falls, each one en
deavors to pick it up with the scoops,
and the successful one is privileged to
take ball from scoop and run to his
goal, but. like Rugby, here comes the
rub for tustle, throws, chokes and
knock-downs are the order of the day.
If a successful run is made to the goal,
one point is made; If not, another
struggle, _ another effort with the
scoops to’ pick up the ball, and so on
until someone wins the goal tor his
side. Each inning begins from the cen
ter of the field with a toss pf the ball
and some course as described Is follow
ed, unless In the midst of the game
a player picks from the ground the
ball in his hands, which Is a foul, in
which case a toss from center has to
be gone through, with same attendant
evolutions.
From time to time a man with a cup
containing a solution of spruce tops
and pine root, gives the players a drink
to make them, as they say. long wind
ed. and there are whippers who sepa
rate the combatants when the game is
too rough They run between or ad
minister a cut or so. Usually nine in
a side enter the game, and there are
also Judges and the talley men, who
for every game won, put a stick In the
ground for a point, and between them
sit' the "old conjuror" upon whom de
pends so much. The winning side takes
all the clothing, money, etc., bet upon
the game.
Such is ‘Cherokee Ball,” which, If di
vested of its barbarities, scratching,
conjuring, etc.. Is u manly game, re
quiring activity, strength and endur

"I was a great sufferer for six year*
and doctored all the time with a number
of different physicians, but did not re
ceive any benefit,” writes Mrs. Georgs
Sogden, of 641 Bonda Street, Saginaw
(South), Mich. "One day as I was read
ing a paper I saw your'advertisement,
and although I had given up all hope of
ever getting better, thought I would
write to you. When I received your
letter telling me what to do I com
menced to take your ‘ Favorite Prescrip
tion ’ and follow your advice. I have
taken teu bottles in all, also five vials of
the ‘Pleasant Pellets.’ Am now regu
lar after having missed two years. I
also suffered with pain in the head and
back, and I was so nervous, could not
eat or sleep. Now I can thank you foe
my recovery.”
TWO INCURABLE WOMEN.
The record of the cures effected by tbs
use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
(supplemented when necessary by a frt*
consultation by letter with Dr. Piercel,,
shows that of the hundreds of thousands
of weak and sick women who have
Dr. Pierce’s remedies and consulted Dr.
Pierce, ninety-eight per cent, have been
perfectly and permanently
cured. Cured altogether,
cured to stay cured. Re
stored to perfect health
and strength and the full
enjoyment of life. The
two women in each hun
dred who have not been
perfectly cured have in
variably been helped and
benefited. Women who
had kept their beds have
been enabled to get up
and mingle with the
family. Women who
couldn’t work at all have
been made strong enough
to do some work. Suffer
ing all the time has been
changed to suffering some
of the time, and the in
tensity of the suffering at
all times greatly lessened.
What womu who is weak
or sick can hesitate to be
gin the use of Dr. Pierce’s;
Prescription with an al
most certain cure before
her, and an absolutely cer
tain benefit to health even
if a perfect cure is im
possible. ,
"Words cannot tell
what I suffered for thir
teen years with uterine
trouble and dragging-
down paius through my hips and back,”’
writes Mrs. John Dickson, of Grenfell,
Assiniboia Dis., N. W. Ter. "I can’t
describe the misery it was to be on my
feet long at a time. I could not eat nor
sleep. Often I wished to die. Then I
saw Dr. Pierce’s medicines advertised
and thought I would try them. Had not
taken one bottle till I was feeling well.
After I had taken five bottles of ‘ Favorite
Prescription ’ and one of ‘ Golden Medical
Discovery ’ 1 was anew woman. Could
eat and deep, and do all my own work.”
Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and sick
women well. That's the record written
by women in thousands of letters like
those printed above.
Will you try to be well ?
The first dose of r Fa---'rite Prescrip
