From' birth' till ‘ past the age of 30 there is growth; some of, the bones do not completely knit till 35. All this time in addition there is the steady waste of the tissues that must be repaired. The demand upon theyitali- ty and upon the powers of assimilation is thus enormous during these years. Without plenty ' of rich, nourishing blood, growth must be defective and tardy. But when it courses through all . the arteries in a full, vigorous stream, growth goes on steadily and perfectly. What countless numbers of frail youngsters physicians see whose piti- ably thin wrists and bloodless faces cry out for better nourishment. _ All this does not escape the vigilant weight of parents. In thousands of homes it is well known that the boys and girls are somehow badly nourished. The weak stomachs and organs of assimilation can not extract the food for growing nerves and brain in suffici- ent quantities from the ordinary diet. A special nerve diet is what they need. Paine’s celery compound is Professor Edward E. Phelps’ great preparation for nourishing these little frames and making them grow into strong, active men and women. Dr. Phelps, upon whom colleges conferred their highest honors for his invaluable investigations in medicine, knew from ripe experience the exact needs of these little sufferers. A chorus of gratitude has gone up all over the country, from mothers of children once weakly and pale, Without promise of ever growing into robust men and women, who have outgrown weakness and a lack of vitality by the use of Paine’s celery compound, taken with the regularity that phySicmns adhere to when prescribing this won- derful nerve and blood restorative. It is valuable in all wasting diseases, in cleansmg the blood of rheumatism, neuralgia, scrofula, and supplying new and healthy vital fluid—its value can neither be weighed nor measured. _ As the great modern nerve and brain strengthener and restorer Paine’s cel- ery compound is pronounced invaluable by all progresswe physicians: Give this grand invigorator a fair trial, and be convinced. 49th Annual Statement OF THE ‘UUNNEGTIUUT - MUTUAL Lllfl illi'll'rllltfl GB. of Hartford, Conn.

The Multimillionaire Now Employs a Man to Guard His Offspring—A Description of the Suspected Individuals. \Vliat They Said. NEW YOK, Feb. 21.-——Georgc Gould’s two little sons, Kingdon and Jay, are not now allowed out of the house without a bodyguard They have been staying this winter at Hill Tops, the Goulds’ winter cottage at Lakewood. The bodyguard, a big, able bodied man- servant, has been in attendance since Sat~ urday. Mr. Gould has reasons to believe that a plot has been laid to kidnap his eldest Son, Kingdon. The object of the proposed kid- naping is not indicated by the facts in Mr. Gould’s possession, but the supposition is that if the plot were successful the boy would be held for ransom. - A description of the would be kidnap- ers is in Mr. Gould’s possession, and there is a young woman in Lakewood who is sure that she could recognize at least one of them if she should see him again. Hill Tops is on the very outskirts of Lakewood, to the north. It is the last cot. tage within the village limits, on the old road to Freehold. That portion of the road which intersects Lakewood is called Madi- son avenue. To the north and west of the Gould cot- tage a. pine forest stretches away for a mile or more in either direction. The Lakewood Golf club has its clubhouse and links in a clearing in this wood. about a. quarter of a mile back from the Gould premises. It was to the north of these grounds that the supposed kidnapers were seen. Mrs. Chester’s Discovery. A Mrs. Chester of this city is staying this winter at The Towers, in Lake- wood. She has an elderly woman with her as companion. In pleasant weather they are‘ in the habit of taking long walks in the woods about Lakewood. A few days since in one of their rambles they had left the main road in the vicinity of the golf links and were following a winding path which took them into the very heart of the forest. They had gone but a short distance when they heard voices ahead, and believ- ing that they were nearing friends they Marjorie. Kingdon. THE GOULD CHILDREN. continued on their way. The ground was hard, and the leaves were damp and dead in their path, so that their approach was almost noiseless. At the turn in their path they came suddenly on two rough looking men. One of them was a big, thickset fellow, with unkempt hair and beard. He wore a light colored overcoat, which, though badly worn, seemed to be a. stylish cut, the cast— ofl garment of some gentleman the wom- an thought. The second man was much smaller than his companion, was dressed in a. shabby dark suit and had no topcoat. Both wore slouch hats, and the man with the beard had his pulled well down over his forehead. The backs of these two roughs were turned to the ladies, and while they car- ried on an animated conversation they were studying the outlines of the paper, presumably a diagram, which the man with the board was holding up against a. tree. A Dastardly Plot. The women were nearly frightened out of their wits and stood rooted to the spot. The men were scarcely 50 feet away. If the interlopers remained, they were sure to be discovered, and they feared that if they started to retrace their steps their footfalls would attract attention. ' While they waited in suspense they caught fragments of the conversation: “But how will I know which is the old- est?” the smaller man was saying to him with the beard. "Take the one called Kingdon, ” was the reply. “That’s the name of the oldest, and you can wait till you hear his nurse speak to him by that name.” The conversation was continued in 'a lower tone, and the women could only catch a word now and then. The only other complete sentence they heard. was from the lips of the smaller man, who ex- claimed in a perplexed tone: . .“That’s just where. the trouble comes in !’ 1 Mrs. Chester could stand the suspense no longer. She gave a little cough, which caused the men to turn suddenly. When they saw the women, they started ofl “Into the woods, going in different. directions. The man with the beard whistled a. tune as he walked away. .- ' ‘ Mrs. Chester with her companion lost no time in getting back to The Towers, and Saturday she sent word to Mr. Gould of what She had heard and seen. Later, by- invitation, she called at Mr. Gould’s house. "I' was never so frightened before~ in all my life,” said Mrs. Chester to a reporter. ”I have hardly recovered from it yet. I wouldn’t go back into those pines again for a good deal. I hesitated at first to in- form Mr. Gould of the matter because I did not want to appear as an alarmist, but then I didn’t want to see one of his little boys stolen by those roughs. It was King- don, the elder, whom they were after, judging from their conversation. Would Recognize One of the Men. “Do I think I Would recognize the men if I saw them again? I am sure I should know the bigger man by his unkempt hair and bushy beard. . I would recognizo tho overcoat he wore too. “That scene in the woods is marked indelibly on my memory.

As to the smaller man, he was a wiry little fellow, with a thin face that was perfectly smooth. I don’t think either of them belonged about here. They im- pressed me more-as’bcing city roughs. ” The Gould children, whose city home is in the brown stone palace at Fifth avenue and Sixty-third street, spend all their win- ters at Lakewood. In the summer they go to Furlough lodge, their summer place up in the Adirondacks, or‘ travel abroad, as they did last; year, when their fond papa. Was sailing yachts with the Prince of Wales. ' ' Kingdon is a sturdy, rosy checked little chap of 7 years and bears his mother’s fam- ily name. Jay is a. year younger and was the special pride of Grandfather Gould, who left him an extra. hundred thousand dollars in his will on account of his name. There are - two little sisters. Marjorie Gynne is a demure little maiden just turned 4. The 2-year-old baby, who is just begin- ning to talk, and whois as yet a little un- steady upon her tiny feet, is Helen Vir- ginia, the goddaughter and especial pet of Miss Helen Gould. MURDERER GEN'I‘RY’S CONDITION. The Actor “'ho Killed Madge Yorke Has an Even Chance For Life. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21.——Fearfully emaciated, bearing the marks of his self inflicted wounds and the injuries sustained from his fall from the fire escape, James B. Gentry, the murderer of pretty Madge Yorke, is lying on a cot in the German hospital in this city closely guarded by two policemen. When Gentry was found early this morn- ing, he was taken to the hospital and was expected to die at any moment. Practi— cally the entire medical staff of the hospi- tal is in attendance on Gentry, headed by Dr. Page. The greatest interest is felt in the case by the staff, due in part to its his- tory and in part to the uncertainty as to whetherGeutr-ywill live or die. Dr. Page stated to a reporter that Gentry was better than at the time of his admis- sion this morning. At noon Gentry was not dead, but on the contrary had, as Dr. Page expressed it, “about an oven chance to live.” Dr. Page stated that the injuries were a lacerated wound of the scalp and brokcn right rib and three small punctures ore.- .he heart, evidently caused by a pen- knife. The blade ,of the knife was not broken off in‘his abdomen, as stated by Gentry and in several published accounts. No knife blade was found" sticking in the body, and the nature of the cuts show that Gentry lacked either the courage or the strength to inflict upon himself mortal wounds. Perhaps 1tho-ki‘iife was too small. Grabbed a Tray of Diamonds. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2\1.,—A man en- tered Franklin’s pawnshop on Dupont street, and pointing a. pistol at the propri- etor grabbed a tray of diamonds and fled.

Hundreds Burned In Churches, While Other-a \Vere Left by the \Vay- aide to Breed Pestilence. Sr. Louis, Feb. 21.—The first descrip- tion by an eyewitness of Mooshir Pasha’s "march of blood,” as it has come to be. known, has just been received here from Mush, Asia Minor. The account is writ- ten by a native of the Sassoun district and has been sent by secret messenger through the territory of the sultan to insure its safe arrival. Mooshir Pasha, the military governor of the city of Erzinjan, started by order of the sultan into the Sassoun district last September. Innumerable burned villages and 7,239 lives were the price of this ofli- cial visit. The European commission now investigating has just reached Mush, the town from which the following story was sent. It reads: ' . ”MUSE. Asia Minor, Jan. 7. “The number of our dead countrymen in the four towns visited by Mooshir Pasha will not be far short of 7, 500. This is from the bodies counted and known to have perished. Bodies Burned In the Church. "The first town entered by Mooshir was Shinik. It contains four villages—Shinik, Mezre, Koojook and Dophy. When our people heard of the arrival of the pasha, Father Johannis, with 40 leading towns- men, went to meet him to beseech him to have mercy on them. They were sur- rounded by soldiers long befbre they could get to Mooshir and every one killed. Their bodies were put in the church and burned. Then the villages were burned. “The number killed from Shinik proper was 623 and 317 from the other villages. Those who escaped are now in the villages near this town, but the villagers are them- selves very poor, and'many go hungry. “Mooshir left Shinik to go to the next town in the Sassoun district. This is Al- yoon and has 14 villages. The people heard of his coming, and they had 24 com- panies of 400 men, besides 28 cannon. They knew it was useless to appeal to him, so they fled to the village of Chi, because of its rocks and steppes, and there they could better escape. They staid in the mountains for almost 20 days, and when all food was gone and there was nothing left to do they fled. Two thousand bodies were left at Chi. Wholesale Butchery. “Gali-Gazoa was next, and because the town has 24 villages Mooshir brought Kurds, Shmidies and irregulars number- lng 30,000. The town was deserted, for the people, with all the food they could carry, and fled to the hills. There they staid for 30 days, and at last, driven by hunger, they made a terrible dash down the mountain sides and attacked the ty- rants instead of waiting to be killed. Pa- triot Virtan was like a. god and killed ten men with his own sword before he fell dead. Father Bedras was a. soldier, too. and encouraged his children, and when he was at last killed his body was out to bits and given to the dogs. . “Along was the last town that the bloodthirsty tyrants visited, and this place has seven villages. The people had for the most part made their escape, but when Mooshir and his soldiers went their way 1,300 bodies were found dead. Many more were burned, but their number is un— known. “All the bodies were left where they were butchered. and those who would trav- el this district must risk their lives through the awful odors that go up from so many dead. All who escaped from the Sassoun district came to the villages of the plains of Mush hungry and destitute and bro- ken hearted. They look for hope and help and sympathy from the civilized world to whom the news of their terrible lot may come. ” Exploslon Kills Two Thousand. HONGKONG, Feb. 21.—The information that has come here from the isle 11d of For- mosa since the, sudden departui-.e on Feb. 18 of the British cruiser Mercusy. rpou the receipt of information that the noto- rious robbers known as Black Flags were committing outrages and the British resi— dents were in need of urgent help, has been meager, but what has been received the first dispatches indicated.
