parts OF ii are not too close to the wood
work. The cheapest, most durable, and
every way the safest stove-pipe, consists of
earthern sewer pipe, which never corrodes,
will not burn out in an age, will always
keep bright and shiny as glass, and is such
a on-conductor of heat that there is no
danger that any part of the woodwork of
a building will take fire through the
heat of the pipe. Elbows and con-
nections of every desirable. size and length
may be obtained in almost every
city, wherever pottery is manufactured
and sold. Iron stove-pipe may be en-
ployed in some places; but in the attic
story and in many other places, sewer
pipe will be found much more satisfac-
tory. Many costly villa has been burn
ed to ashes, simply from defective stove
pipe, or in consequence of the close prox-
unity of the pipe to woodwork. All such
little jobs, and many others, can be at

ness hours, provided one will improve the
leisure moments that are too often fritter-
ed away to no industrial purpose

The Career of Great Remedy.

Twenty summers have elapsed since it was
briefly announced that new vegetable tonic and
Alternative bearing the name Of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, had been added to the list of Prevent
i've and Restorative medicines The modest adver-
tisement which invited attention to the prepare
ton, stated that il had been used with great
cess, in private practice, as cure for dyspepsia
bilious complaints, constipation and intermittent
fever. Ii soon discovered that the article pos
sessed extraordinary properties. The people, of
every class, tested its merits a tonic, simuant
corrective and restorative and found that lis eff
fects more than fulfilled their hopes and expccta-

been upward and onward, and it stands to-day at
the head of all medicines of its class, American or

Two conyicts in the California State

Two convicts in the California State
prison made an ingenious attempt to es-
cape recently. They slowed themselves
away in box of spokes, and had the box
so arranged that when they were landed
on the wharf at San Francisco, they could
open one end and crawl out But, unhap-
PLY for them, one of the deck hands on
the boat stood up the box so that they
were placed heads down, and one of them
was forced to cry out, to the establishment
of the workmen, This box don't stand
right" This, by the way, is the first box
of spokes that ever spoke.

THE tedious discussion of Senator Cald-
wells case has given rise to a new phase of
the somewhat vague question of State rights,
and the division of opinion as it relates to
the well k'ow belief of party leaders is some
what curious. For instance, Mr.. Conkling
who is not a state rights advocate in the us
ual acceptance OF the term, objects to the res
olution reported by Mr.. Morton declaring the
election Of Caldwell void, on the ground that
such action would be in violationof the soyer
eighty of the State of Kansas; that the
the Senate can only inquire con-
corning the formal returns and the specific
qualifications of Senators, and concerning
the legal right of election in the legislature
which chooses them. In This view Mr..
Conkling is sustained by such Republicans as
Messrs. Frelinghuysen, Carpenter and such
Democrats as Messrs Bayard of Delaware
Hamilton of Maryland and Stockton of New
Jersey. On the other hand Mr.. Thurman of
Ohio who is par excellence state rights adj
vocate and an ultra Democrat, holds that the
;vereignty of the State is not infringed bv
declaring the election void, but on the other
hand, is protected by such action. In this
view he is endorsed by such well known Re-
publican Senators as Messrs. Morton of In
diana, Wright of Iowa and others. Senate r
Schurz also takes the same ground.

Scenes Attending the Execution of F0S-

lers
Eli Perkins gives the following account of
the scenes attending the execution of the mrr-
derer Foster last Friday, which is published in
the Daily Graphic: trr
Sheriff Brennan and a dozel deputies filed
into the Tombs about quarter to nine. Each
deputy wore black gloves and carried in his
hand the insignia of his office, a cherry colored
gavel with brass points at either eud. Al nine
0 clock and ten minutes the sheriff took Foster
from his cell When he showed a little lack OF
nerve the sheriff said:
Now hold up, Foster, and die like man!'
Yes, will show you that can die like
man, gasped the doomed man.
NOW Jhe procession moved out from the low
er corridor of the Tombs into the prison yard,
Foster between the two DR.. Tyngs father and
son, the deputy sheriffs and doctors behind.
what 40 you want TO do now, doctor?' ask
ed the sheriff of DR.. Tying
e 1--WE will offer prayers"
well, don't be long-don't be over three
minutes, for Foster is weakening"
I'VE will be short" replied Dr.. Tying, ST.
Then the praying commenced. The doctor
prayed fervently for one -two-three minutes
There were no signs of the end coming, aud the
doomed mans knees shook together. The ply
sicians looked at each other and whispered che
will faint" Policemen, spectators and report
ers looked on IN GREATNESS suspense. That
prayer seemed an age. The "amen came and
roster still stood with the rope around his neck
and his arms pinioned, oblivious to everything
Death was oily an empty form to him. The
young DR.. Tying prayed one-two-three min
uteS more.
Suddenly the sheriff whispered to him in a
low voice.
20, doctor we must stop this-Foster can't
stand 1T much longer"
AS Dr. Tyng, flushed abruptly, saying, "We
are in thy hands. o Lord, to do everything to
thy glory" sheriff Brennan touched the con-
demned man, who seemed just ready to fall,
and said:
Now, brace up, Foster-hold up moment
longer"
Fo ter stood firmer
Then the death warrant was read, all the
time the condemned mans body surging like a
broken reed
At-s.zI the sheriff, who stood behind Foster,
swung his cap, the hangman cut the spring,
the big weights dropped, and William Foster
hung in the air. A few struggles, a few heart
throbs, few muscular contractions, and he
was dead. His account with his fellow-men
was balanced. If the scales of justice tipped
down when he killed Putnam, they now stood
even, for the killer and the killed were standing
face to face in eternity.
Then came the closing scene in the drama
The doctors felt Fosters pulse, put their ears
against his heart, and pronounced him dead.
After the coroner had pronounced him dead,
they took him into the new prison, and the
gallows- makers commenced taking down the
gibbet. At 1890 the gallows was down, and
the prison yard had its wonted peaceful look.
