thought to be going into a decline before
they were restored by taking those pills."
Some of the particulars of the marvelous
rescue of Mr. Church from a life of auffer-
ing having reached the public, a reporter of
the Times thought it viorth his while to in-
vestigate the matter for the benefit of other
sufferers, and it was, in response to his en-
quiries that the above remarkable story was
narrated by Mr. Church. Taken in connec-
tion with the reports of other equally re-
markable cures-tlie particulars of which
have been published from time to time—it
offers unquestioned proof that Dr. William's
Pink Pills for Pale People stand at the head
of modern medical discoveries.
The neighbors generally were very out-
spoken in their astonishment at Mr.
Church's miraculous cure, all who knew
anything of his case having given him np
months ago as rapidly approaching the
portals of the great unknown. He
looks far from that now though. Hiti eye
is as clear, his cheek as ruddy, and his step
as elastic as a youth in his teens, He was
for seven years a member of the Life
Guards, and for some time conducted a
gymnaainm in LiverpooL He expects to
get )lack to his beloved athletic exercises
this season, and is much elated at the
success of bis treatment.
The -reporter then called upon Messrs.
Harrison Bros., James street north, from
whom Mr. Church had purchased the
remedy, who farther verified his state-
ments. In reply • to the enquiry by the
reporter, " Do you sell many of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pilb ?" Mr. James Harrison,
of the firm replied :
" Well, yes, rather. A thousand boxes
don't last long. You see our business is
largely with men, women and girls em-
ployed in the big factories and mills in this
locality, and the recommendations we hear
from these people day ,after day, month
th
after mon, would indeed make the manu-
facturer of those wonderful little pellets
think he was a benefactor of humanity.,
Several cases have come under my own
notice of women, poor, tired -out, over-
worked creatures, being made " like unto
new " by the use of these pills, and I see
them passing to and from work daily and
looking as though life was worth living, and
well worth it too. In all my experience in
the drug business I never saw anything
like these pills," and Ur. Harrison related a
number of cures that had come tinder his
observation in addition to that of Mr.
Church.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for. Pale People
contain in condensed form all the element.
necessary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such die -
eases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus' dance, sciatiea,neuralgia,rheuma-
tism, nervous headache, the after effects of
la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexions, and the tired feeling
resulting from nervous prostration.; all
diseases de ding upon vitiated humors in
the ' blood such as scrofula, chronic
erlas, etc. They acre also a specific for
troubles peculiar 'to, females, such as sup-
pressions, irregularities and, all forme of
weakness. They build np the blood and
restore the glow of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. In .the case of men they
effect a radical cure in all cases 'arising from
mental worry, o over -work or excesses of
whatever nature.
These pills are manufactured by the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville,
Ont.. and &lienectady, N. Y., and are sold
in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen

THE DEN BURNED DOWN.
A St. Ignace, Mich., despatch says : As
the Duluth, South shore & Atlantic Rail-
way morning express slacked up at this
station yesterday morning Jennie Amber
ley's spirit took its flight. The shaking she
had received while riding from Seney was
too much for her enfeebled constitution.
Her father and kind lady passengers ad-
ministered what little comfort they could,
but all to no purpose. The story' of Jennie's
co 'tion is a very distressing one, and is
on l ne of the many murdera that Michi-
gan's Yumber camps are responsible for.
Last larch Jennie left her home, which is
situated near Oxenden, in Grey county,
Ontario, for Detroit, where she had been
engaged to do housework. Her father, who
>e a well-to-do farmer, was averse to her
leaving home, but ahe was determined
and had her own way. The situation was
secured through a supposed lady who met
Jennie in Wiarton, Ont. She pictured to
the unsuspecting girl a splendid situation,
an easy time, and good wages which tempted
her to test her lot in Uncle Sam's domains.
She went to Detroit and remained there fon
a few days, and along with three other vic-
tims she was taken to Seney, Mich., and
turned over to the brutal keeper of a
Northern brothel. Unable to get away or
everwrite to her friends, the poor girl was
kepa prisoner and compelled to submit to
the tithes of hardened woodsmen. A frail
constitution soon broke down, and Jennie's
usefulness being gone she was sent to
Seney and given a few dollars and told to
shift for herself. Charitable" people at
once interested themselves, and her father
was telegraphed for. He arrived, and at
once started with her for the home she was
destined never to reach alive.
The father tells a horrible story of his
daughter's eonfeasion to him in regard to her
treatment in the dive. She was taken in
an open waggon several miles through the
woods to a house entirely surrounded by a
high board fence. She wasput to bed, and
it was not until the next day that she real-
ized that she was in one of the horrible dens
of vice which have for years made Seney
and Northern Michigan notorious. The
next night she was brutally outraged in
spite of her appeals, and the days and
nights which followed were horrible
beyond description. All of her clothes
were taken from her. She was
given a chemise, short dress without
sleeves, stockings and low shoes. The
house was carefully guarded by men and
dogs, and contained six girls besides herself,
s►11 in a fearful physical condition. None of
the girls were allowed to leave the house.
Naturally of a delizaie constitution the
girl weakened rapidly, and when found by
her father was but a ghost . of her former
self, a mere skeleton. Jack Adams, the
keeper of the dive, fled to the woods as soon
as he saw the officers who were sent out to
arrest him, and escaped. As several men
who were about proved that they were
lumbermen only visiting the place they
were not arrested. All of the girls were
taken to St. Ignace, and the place burned
down.

Months la a hospital and is Discharged
Only to Suffer Great Agony—Months
Without Sleep and a Victim of Nervous
Prostration—An Account of Hila Miracu-
Ious Cure as Investigated by a "Times"
Reporter.
(Hamilton Times, June 20th, 1892.)
" In the spring of 1887, while working on
a building in Liverpool," said Mr. Church,
" a scaffold on which I was standing col-
lapsed and fell to the pavement, a distance
of forty feet. Bruised and bleeding, I was
picked up and conveyed to the Northern
Hospital, and not one of the doctors
whoattended me held out any hope
for my ultimate recovery. The base
of my spine seemed to be smashed
into a pulp, and the efforts of the medi-
cal men were directed altogether towards
relieving the terrible agony I suffered
rather thap towards curing my injuries.
I had the conatitution of an ox though,"
and the speaker threw out his chest and
squared a- pair of shoulders that would
have done credit to a prince among
athletes, " and as I seemed to have a tre-
mendous grip on life the doctors took
heart and after remaining in that hospital
forty weeks I was diatharged as being as
far recovered as I would ever be. For
twenty-six weeks I had to lie in one posi-
tion, and any attempt to place me on my
back made me scream with pain. Through
eighteen months after my discharge
I was unable to do a stroke of
work, and could with difficulty make
my way about the house, and then only
with the aid of •crutches. Twice during
that time I underwent operations at the
hands of eminent surgeons, who were
amazed at the fact of my being alive at all
after they had been informed of the extent
of my injuries. On the last occasion my
back was cut own and, it was discovered
that the bones which had been shattered by
my fall had, by process of time, completely
overlapped each other, forming a knuckle
that you see here," and Mr. Church showed
the reporter a curious lump near the base of
his spine. " All efforts to straighten those
bones continued unavailing, and finally the
doctors told me that in the course of a few
months paralysis would • set in and my
troubles would be iucreased tenfold. Their
predictions proved only too true and before
long I was almost in as bad a condition as
ever. No tongue can tell the pain I suf-
fered as the disease progressed; and eventu-
I decided to come to America. So in 1890
I closed my affairs in England and on arriv-
ing in -Halifax, so done up was I
with the journey across the ocean, that I
had to take to my' bed and was kept a close
prisoner for several weeks. Having a
brother living at Moorfield, near Guelph, I
with difficulty accomplished the journey
there and tried to do some 'work. My
Wittiest exertions could accomplish but
little, however, and as the result of my
trouble, nervous prostration in its worat
form assailed me. I remember once being
overtake!. by a thunderstorm while about
a mile away from the house, and :while I`
was making my way there • I fell no less
than eight times, completely prostrated
by particularly vivid flashes of lightning
or heavy tars of thunder.. About a year
and a half.ago. I came .to this _ city and
secured work • at. the Hamilton Forge
Works, but before long had to quit, be-
cache I could not attend to my duties.
I used to think that if I could only get a
little sleep once in, a while 1 would feel bet-
ter, but even that boon was denied me.

A JEALOCS DETROITER

ously Wounds a Boarder. _ ,
A Detroit despatch says : At 10 o'cleck'
last night Joseph Gordon, an old •negro
living with his family on Hastings street,
deliberately murdered his step -daughter, a
child about eight 'years of age. He also
shot Wesley Robinson in the face. At the
time stated the neighbors heard two shots,
one following close upon the other, and the
next moment Mrs. Gordon, with her oldest
child, Lulu, rushed screaming into the
street,and cried, " He has shot my
child !" A moment later Wesley Rob-
inson, who occupied a room rented
him by Gordon, staggered out into
the street with blood flowing 'from his
face. The police were soon on the ground,
and on entering the house found the child
clad in her nightgown lying on her face on
the floor. A large pool of blood had formed
near her. The ambulance was called and
both the child and Robinson were taken to
theital, where the girl died just after
her vat She had been shot thorngh the
heat- Robinson is expected to recover. He
was shot close to the nose, and as the bullet
cannot be found it is believed it went into
his month and was swallowed. The mur-
derer made his escape. He is 65 years of
age, and had several times threatened to kill
his wife and her children, .who are•by a
_ former husband. Robinson is 47 years of
age, and bas been rooming with the Gordons
since laatNorember. Got don, it appears,was
jealous of his wife, and some months ago
attacked her with a razor.

there and looked at this act with a sneer
as if he had seen the same sort of thing

" Do not leave me," howled the landlady,
her tears effacing the pattern from the car-
pet. " I owe the plumber $160 and the

With that she fainted, and with the aid

There is positively no demand in America
for the best teas. We cannot, or will not,

just at present the choicest teas of commerce
come from Formosa.
The prices which the finest tea com-
mands will be surpr icing, no doubt, to the ,
housekeeper who thinks she ought to buy
good tea for 70 or 80 cents a pound. Zeas
from ' Northern China, for example, are •
seldom or never seen in America, because
they are bought up before they are
harvested by the merchants in Russia, who
cater to the most extravagant epicures- in
tea -drinking (outside of tie Chinese them
selves) in all the world. These are the
Russian nobles. They think nothing of
paying $10 to $50, and even $100 a.poumd
