Governor Hill of New York has signed the bill abolishing hanging for all murders committed after January I, 1889, and sub-
 stituting death by electricity therefor. The bill consists ofa elaborate and carefully drawn amendments to the code of crimi- nal procedure, providing that the prisoner sentenced 10 death shall be immediately conveyed by the sheriff to one of the state prisons, and there kept in solitary coine- ment until the day of execution, to be wis., ited only by officers or by his relatives, physician clergyman or counsel. The court imposing sentence shall name merely the week within which the execution is to take place, the particular day within such week being left to the discretion of the principal officer of the prison. The execution is re quired to be practically private, only ofic- ials, clergymen, physicians and limited number of citizens being allowed to be present. After the execution funeral ser vices may be held within the prison walls, and the body shall be delivered into the custody of relatives if requested otherwise it shall be decently inferred within the prison grounds

THE RESULT OF MERIT.-when anything stands a test of fifty years among @ discrimi- mating people, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere. Few, if any, med icines have met with such continued success and popularity as has marked the progress of Brandreth's Pills, which, after trial of over fifty years, are conceded to be the safest and most effectual blood purifier, tonic and alter ative ever introduced to the public.
 That this is the result of merit, and that Brandreth's Pills perform all that is claimed for them, is conclusively proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are those who have used them the long est.
 Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coatei.

Mrs. Clarissa P. Collins died May 20, at Sidney, O., after a sickness of about four hours. The Sidney Journal says:
 "Mrs. Collins was born at Stafford, Conn.,, March Il, 1902. September 10, 1921, she married Dr. Il. A. Hamilton who died December 23, 1889. She lived a widow until April Is, 1858, when she was married to Col. Collins at Somers, Conn.,, where her body was taken for burial. She survived her latter husband about A years, and for the last IS years has lived with her daughter in Sidney. Her three surviving children are Dr. Fl. A. Hamilton of Per rysbur9. O.; Mrs. Dr. Strickland of En- field, Conn.,, and Mrs. Myra H. Murray of Sidney. On Sunday morning she made up her mind to attend church, but while Mrs. Murray was reading aloud to her 8 chapter in the Bible, she suddenly became unconscious, and her labored breathing in- dicated that she was in the grasp of death in apoplectic form. She never spoke af- terward, nor exhibited signs of conscious ness. Mrs. Collins became suddenly and totally blind about five years ago. She was an exceedingly beautiful woman in youth, and the finger of time seemed 10th to mar her clear complexion or trace 8 wrinkle on her sweet face. She was wo- man of great force and decision of charac- ter, of high literary taste and strong re- liQious fervor. The distinguishing ele- ments of the Puritan mothers centered in her. To her llfe's battle was struggle to be won, not lost, and her aggressiveness for the right was hardly abated by the burden of four-score years.

listeners. The doctor continued:
 Men, and women even more. drink tea and coffee constantly, and wonder why they feel dull and stupid, have headaches, bad taste in the mouth, pains in the liml,s and about the body and irre@ularity of the sccrctions. Nine cases out of ten these things are c.uscd by too free of tea and coffee. These drinks clog the system, weaken the tissues and de- stroy the most important organs. Few men or women who indulge in tea and coffee regu- larly have clear urine, but on the contrary, sediment, scum and brick dust, all of which invariably mean coming disease Or death"
 ''Brt what we to do, Doctor? Shall we give up tea and coffee altogether?'
 "No. do not advise that but regulate it. Keep the kidneys clear and active. There is nothing in the world so good for this as the we'll known and popular Hunts Remedy. Any one who uses this medicine regularly can drink tea and coffee moderately without fear. The reason is that Hunts Remedy tlushes or wash es out the kidneys, and keeps them free and healthy. Any number of prominent men and women can confirm what I say, among the number scores of doctors and ministers, Gen. Butler, Gen. Monroe and Miss Alcot."
 It was plain that the warning and advice of the doctor had ma de deeb imprt ssinn on his listeners, as it also should upon the millions of men and women who are shortening their lives by the use of these drinks.
