THIS NEW YORKER
Is A “Botcher" Whom Wey
ler Kay Well Etiuy
Iff HIS DRUNKEN ANGER
He Slays A Mother, Wife And
t Then His Children.
New York. Aug 12. Policeman
Henry C. Hawley of the Tender-
Join station, whilein a fit of
drunken rage shot hie wife, bis
mother, Mary Hawley, his four
year old son and his daughter, six
years old. He then shot himself in
the head. He was taken to Bellevue
hospital, where he died soon after
wards.
The others were taken to the
New York hospital, where it was
said they would die.
The only explanation of the
crime was a statement made by
Hawley’s mother to the effect that
drink had caused all the trouble.
When Hawley’s mother mo
mentarily recovered conciousness
at the hospital this afternoon she
made s'atement in si balance as
follows.
‘‘My son Henry C. Haw’ey had
been drinking and appeared crazy.
He shot his,wile first and then shot
me. Then shot his two children
and himself, the shooting occurs
red at our home about noon.’’
Owen Gallagher, employed in a
shop at the rear of the Hawley
apartments, saw a good part of the
tragedy.
Gallagher, with other working
men, had their attention attrac
ted by hearing Hawley quarreling
with his wife. The'policeman was
sitting in a chairat the rear win
dow. He held a revolver in his
hand and was locking at its bar
rel .
Gallacher heard Hawley curse
his wife telling her to “Get out of
this.” Then the policeman’s meth
er came up and tried to get the
revolver away from him. The old
lady put her arms around her son’s
neck and endeavored to take the
revolver away from him he shoved
her off and then shooting began
Ga'laghersaw the pehceman stand
up and aim the pistol directly at
the two little children.
“He shot them down like dogs,”
he said.
As the mother wks putting hsr
arms around Hawleo’s neck he
wa» beard to be repeating this
sentence.
“I’ll fix them all”

POISONED MELON.

poison injected into them as a
trap for thieves.
TRADE PROSPECTS IN CUBy
One of the largest merchants
of Havana, who arrived here on
Monday from Sagua, spoke thus
of the trade conditions and pros
prospects in Cuba :
' Cuba is an out-and-out agri
cultural country, and American
enterprises can only succeed
when recognizing the fact. I
think, however, one of the first
things needed throughout Ouba
will be electric railroads. After
this the next important item of
shipment should be lumber and
ether building materials. Real
estate is selling in Havana at
next to nothing. It has not been
possible to collect mortgages or
get judgment against any pro
perty during the last year.
Building operations with a
strong government, therefore,
should, 1 think, have a consid
erable boom. I should also imag
ine that a number of large sugar
refineries in Cuba would be a
profitable investment. In addi-

Tlie door of health stands open to every
woman who will enter. All that she needs
is the key and a little knowledge. The
knowledge that -be needs is concerning her
own nature, her own physical make-up and
tin principal cause of ill health in women.
When a woman suffer* from headaches
and pains in the back and sides, and burn
ing and dragging sensations and the weak
ness, nervousness and despondency that
are caused by diseases peculiar to her sex,
she cannot enjoy good general health. The
key to the door of health—the cure for all
disorders of this description—is Dr Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. It is a medicine
specially devised for disorders of this na
ture and no other It is the invention of
an eminent and skillful specialist, Dr. R. V.
Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting
physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi
cal Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. When a
woman writes to Dr Pierce she consults
a physician who has practiced for thirty
years right in one place, and who was some
years ago honored by his own townspeople
by an election to the National Congress.
He will answer letters from women free of
charge. All professional .correspondence is
regarded as sacredly confidential.
" Horyears I kept failing in health and getting
worse and more nervous all the time.' writes
Mrs Annie Dulan, of East Stroudsburg, Monroe
Co., Pa. “ I doctored with two different doctors
without relief. My system was run down and
my nerves weak 1 had ulcers of the uterus
which were so painful at times that I was afraid
they must be cancers I felt discouraged and did
not'get any better until my nurse advised me to
write to Dr. Pierce. In May I commenced tak

medicines. I am cured and am a well woman."
