Rheum or Eczema, which has been under my
personal observation from its first appearance
TO the present time-about 10 years-covering
the greater portion of the patients body and

scab, and to which all the known methods OF
treating such disease had been applied without
benefit, has completely disappeared, leaving a

profuse application of Cuticura.

Murder in the Second Degree Accepted q
His Plea-Sentenced for Life.
New York Sun 9Apt 4l1

Murder in the Second Degree Accepted as
His Plca-Sentenced for Life,
New York Sun, Sept. 2D.l
The trial. In the general sessions, of Fran
cisco Portfolio, the Italian, who stabbed and
killed Michael Bolender, foreman of the gum
drop department of Slausson & Co.'s confec-
t:onery in Dey street, was ended yesterday.
Victoria Portfolio, the girl wife of the pris-
oner, holding her babe in her arms, testified
that after her husband was discharged from
Slausson & Co.'s confectionery the family
was in sore straits. Portfolio did any work
that he could find. but could rarely find
work. He bought food with his paltry
earnings for her and her child, often
going without nourishment for days to feed
them. He walked the floor of his little
rooms, at SO Baxter street, night after night,
crying work work." He was told on the
to hire some men, as the busy season had
come. He went to Bolender and begged for
work. Bolender said he would employ
any man he liked. and hired three men in
Portfolios presence. Portfolio returned to his
home almost frantic He cried continually,
I'VE are starving, and Bolender will not give
me work. Bolender can give me work, but
he wants $10t' Portfolio had no more
money, and she went out to beg on the 23d
of July She was arrested and committed to
Blackwell's Island.
Warden Finn and other officials Of the
city prison having testified to Portfolios
attempts to commit suicide and to starve
himself to death, DIR. Edward c. Spitzka
testified that in his opinion the prisoner
was impelled by the overwhelming influ-
ence of acute mania at the moment of the
killing and that he was not then an &C.
countable being.
After the testimony had been taken, and
there had been a conference between As
sistant District Attorney Rollins and Mr..
Knitting, Mr.. Rollins said that the prosecu-
ton would accept plea of guilty of murder
in the second degree; and that plea having
been entered, Judge Cowing sentenced
Portfolio to Imprisonment for life IN State
prison. The prisoner was then taken to the
city prison.
Mrs. Charlotte Smith, of st. Louis, has
offered to take care of Portfolios wife and
child.

The Value of Newspaper

| Those people who think the chief
business of a. newspaper is to puff,
gratis, the specialclaims, interests
and enterprises of Tom, Dick and
Harry, and that such paper
should be published for general
accommodation instead of the sole
benefit and behoof of its prGprie-
tors, will have their eyes opened
by decision recently rendered in
a st. Louis court. 1T appears thai
the proprietors Of the st. Louis
/ Republican, at the time the great
bridge there was being projected,
were engaged to write up the en-
terprise in their paper, for which
they were to be paid in stock in
the bridge company. The bridge
was finally built, and the Repub-
llcan S proprietors, FOR the. editorial
work done in behalf of the enter
prise, received in bridge stock
twenty-five thousand dollars. The
bridge corporation has since got
into the hands of creditors who
have been investigating it's affairs,
and they claim that the stock is
sued to the newspaper men above
mentioned had never been paid
for, and brought suit against them
to enforce this payment. The case
has just been decided 10 the su-
preme court, and Judge Wickham,
on the bench, delivered his decision
to this effect
" Public journals rse their col Y
umns and their Influence for the
legitimate purpose OF earning mon
ey, and this fact is well known 10
the community at large. 1t was
absolutely necessary for the bridge
company to have means Of reach
ing the public ear, and neither the
company nor the public expect
this facility to be granted to them
gratuitously, nor is it likely that
the public at large is deceived by
such use Of the public press"
The stock was held to have been
fully paid for in editorial work and
to be justly owned by the newspa-
per men in consequence. Twenty
five thousand dollars for Journal
lstic services, while the amount
seems large, is no more, and even
lar less than is often paid TOR the
support Of leading papers.
People who do not advertise,
and who seldom read newspapers,
may be pardoned for underesti-
mating the value of an article of
which they are utterly ignorant,
md so. also, may the ignorance OF
IN utterly unlettered person be
'eadily excused, bat both of these
are none the less OBJ
ects of commiseration and pity.
To-day the newspaper is the most
potential advocate that can be em-.
'loyed in any cause pertaining to
utilization and human progress,
nd very ignorant and presump-
uous are they who are not aware
4 the fact.

How Arsenic Kills.
rrro-, Testimony Of Dr. Pliny A. Jewea In we hs!oe'
if'0 Murder Trial.

From Testimony OF ~. ny a
O. How does arsenic killr
A. It kills by being absorbed In tho
blood 1t works in different ways. "A
person might die from shock as win
symptoms of paralysis; the avefage
period a person will live is twenty-iouI
hours; they may die from Inflammation
of bowels and rectum like dysenterlc
condition: sometimes they die from
coma soon after taking it, and IN that
the effect would be similar to that ny
taking narcotics; two grains Will XIII,
but one and half might; even an ounce
has been taken without producing death,
where the stomach pump has peeh
promptly used; more than two or tnree
Grains would be a waste of material IN
0roducing death; the more arsenic taken,
the more would reach the brain, ana
! doth would he the sooner if it stald In
the stomach; there is one case on recolo
where the poisonous effects were pro-
| duced while the victim was eating
! cake in which arsenic had been placed;
! If inflammation of the stomach exls'eu'
| the putting in of arsenic would aggravate
the condition; if arsenic we're put INTO
an empty stomach it would produce IN
tense pain and burning, and would cause
a nerson TO scream aloud unless he had
uncommon fortitude; at the first hearing
Won CMr. HarriSon) said you wanted me
and DIR. White TO examine tor arsenic.
Cross-examined by Mr.. WatrousIl
think the first effect of arsenic would DO
on the stomach, and it is the first eftecs
would be to make person scream aloud;
il might occur that a person after taxing
arsenic would Immediately be uhaple 10
sneak a loud word, or would soon De
dead; but it could not be told before
hand what the symptoms would be. In
a LARGE proportion of cases the loss OF
voice does not occur at once. Much
would depend upon how much OF the
arsenic would be dissolved, and the
ronidity of solution would depend upon
the contact with moisture in the stomach
and the heat. In few instances persons
have died Immediately from shocks tc
the nervous system, producing paralysis
of the heart, and sometimes OF the lungs
Arsenic would not produce immediate
death from shock, unless the conditions
were favorable, such as state OF grea'
: depression. =, a.,
