EASTERN CANDY STORE,
608-608 Commercial St,
Next Griffin's Book Store.
New York, May 24. Repeated at
tacks on automobllista by East Side
hoodlums which culminated Sunday in
th probable fatal wounding of Mrs,
W. C. GottschalL who was struck on
the head by a large stone, have brought
out a plan by th police to protect
motorists on their way to various fer
ries. So vicious have these attacks
become that scarcely an autmooblle
has reached some of the ferries recent
1y without bearing marks of Its pas
sage.
Adequate measures are extremely
hard to frame, but the police depart
ment has arranged a scheme whereby,
beginning next Sunday, certain Broad
street leading to every East Side
ferry will be under special patrol and
the chaffs urs who may wish to free
themselves of showers of tin cans,
stones, etc., will be Invited to use these
routes.

Did you see it advertised in The Astorian toll the Advertiser of ii
How They Are Sometimes Found
Debris and Dust Hssps.
The recent discovery in Paris
Raphael's "La Bella Jardiniere," which
the fortunate Under picked up for a
paltry 44 franca, reminds one of many
a similar romance of art treasures
which have been bought for an old
song and sold for a fortune, and of al
most priceless canvases found In the
most unexpected places.
About three years ago a picture deal
er In the Rue St Labare purchased an
old canvas from a carpenter for 20
francs, not from any appreciation of
the painting, but because It chanced
to fit an empty frame. The framed
picture was put aside as of little Inter
est or value, until one day an artist
chanced to see It, and after a close in
spection exclaimed: "Why, you have
a treasure here. This is a variant of
one of Raphael's works, the Vatican
'Adam and Eve and la worth a heap
of money." A few days later the
dealer found a very ready purchaser
of his 20-franc canvas for the sub
stantial sum of 40,000 francs.
It is not many years since an ama
teur of art, turning over some old
sketches In the shop of a second-hand
dealer on the boulevards, came across
a study in red chalk which took his
fancy and which the dealer gladly let
him take away , in exchange for 60
centimes, roughly the equivalent of
S pence. On submitting the sketch
to an expert .it was at once Identified
as Raphael's original design for his
great picture, "La Dispute del Sacra
mento," and worth at a very modest
estimate 400.
At recent sal in Carnarvonshire, a
very ancient and dirty picture waa
knocked down, to the auctioneer's re
lief, for a 6-pound note. The pur
chaser, thinking It possible that the
painting might really be worth more
than he had given for It, sent It to
Christie's, where It was recognised as
a Rubens of the value of at least 7,
000.
A romantic story Is told of a Van
dyck representing Abraham with up
lifted sword in the act of striking his
son Isaac. For many a long year It
had hung neglected In an old Cheshire
mansion, until finally one of the sons
of th house was glad to exchange It
for two diamond bracelets and a breast
pin. It changed hands several times
later for a few pounds, until It came
into the possession of John Bolton of
Manchester, who had the canvas
cleaned. A year or so ago an art ex
pert was commissioned to Inspect and
report on the picture. He at once pro
nounced it to be a genuine Vandyke.
: Raphael's famous picture, "The Mas
sacre of the Innocents," which had been
lost for centuries, was found two or
three years ago in the cottage of a
widow living at Como, Italy. The wid
ow was absolutely ignorant of its val
ue and would gladly have parted with
it for the equivalent of a 5-pound note
She has since received and declined an
otter of 8000 for her picture.
Rubens' "Visitation" was handed
over to the proprietor of an old curios
ity shop at Rheims to a French art ex
pert In exchange for a couple of Louis
XV. armchairs and & Kth century cof
fer, and he thought he had distinctly
got the better of the bargain. His dis
gust may be Imagined when he learned
later that he had parted with a picture
worth at least 10,000 for three pieces
of furniture.
A canvas by Romney, valued at not
less than 10,000, was sold at a Salem
auction 30 years ago for a few dollars,
and was discovered long after in a
New Jersey cottag, regarded as so
much worthless lumber, an "Entomb- i
Cur for Seasiokness.
Seasickness, which rarely kills, but
makes Its victim wish they were dead,
ha always' seemed to defy the skill
of doctors, but now there is good au
thority for the statement that a pre
ventive has been found. Anaesthesia
which was recommended by Professor
von Noorden In th treatment of cases
of gastric hyperesthesia, nervous dys
pepsia and gastric ulcer, ha also
proved efficacious in seasickness. Dr.
St-hliep, formerly a medical officer of
a passenger steamer, writing In an Im
portant German newspaper, say that
on hi voyage to America, Australia
and the Pacific he used to administer
anaesthesln a a prophylactic to pas
sengers who on previous voyages had
suffered from seasickness.
From three to four half-gramme
powders were given during the first
few hours at sea and were repeated on
the following day, the result being that
the majority of those passengers were
not sea sick. The remedy proved ef
ficacious even after the first symp
toms such as giddiness and loss of ap
petite had made their appearance, but
no benefit was obtained when sea sick
ness hod fully set In, the patients be
ing, as a rule, too much overcome by
their sensations to swallow any medi
cine at all. ' .
Jt is esKentlal to administer full doses
of from two to three grammes a day
from the beginning. The use of the
drug is not attended with any risk or
danger. Dr. Schliep recommends,
therefore, that anaesthesln should form
part of the stock of medicines carried
on board ship.

What is wanted of soap
for the skin is to wash it
clean and not hurt it.
Pure soap does that. This
is why we want pure soap;
and when we say pure,
we mean without alkali
Pears' is pure no free

soap that has no biting in
it, that's Pears'.

APPOINTED DEAD MAN.
British Admiralty Given Hi Honorary
Position at Liverpool. ;
New York. May 24. The admiralty
has made the extraordinary blunder of
appointing a dead man to an honorary
position at Liverpool, says a Herald
dispatch from London. The mistake
was brought to light through an an
nouncement in the Gazette that the ad
miralty had been pleased to appoint
Dr. John Charles Riley, bishop of Llv
erpol, as honorary chaplain to the
newly formed Mersey brigade of Royal
navy volunteer reserves. Dr. Riley
however died June 10, 1900. The pres
ent bishop of Liverpool Is Dr. Chavas-sle.
