TORONTO, Oct. THE Globe publishes
what purports to be a partial confession of
Birchall, which says: "Birchall's story of
the murder of Benwell is gradually oozing
out of him. Since he was sentenced he
has dropped his devil-may-care air, is wear
ing down in flesh, and has become sober
and subdued in manner. 1t cannot be
said that he has made anything like ciean
breast Of the murder. All he has done SO
far is to make number Of half Statements
and to drop hints, which, pieced together
form tolerably coherent story He ac-
knowledges that he was an accessory, and
therefore merits the sentence passed upon
him. He alleges, however, that some Of
the testimony adduced in behalf Of the
crown is untrue.
He Was Only an Accessory.
"He confesses directly that he took Ben

slew Benwell. Yesterday he said that he

as to his whereabouts and doings on Feb

was not the actual murderer, but that that
statement would have established his guilt
as an accessory. He says he was to have

A Veteran Fooled.

For years the LEDGER has published
weekly article which has attracted
widespread attention and interest. 1t
is, may say, one of the leading feat
ures of the paper. For long time it
was written by nonresident of this
city, and whom l had never seen. One
morning his wife came to see me. Mr..
Childs,' she said, my husband is i'll and
unable to do his work any longer.
For number of months past
l have been writing his editorials for
him, and / have now come to ask you
to allow me to continue doing So.
Certainly, l said. If you have been
writing them you can 60 on doing so !;
but say nothing OF the change to any
one.
Some time after this the husband
died. On going to the oficce in the
morning one of my editors met me
with a face a yard long. Mr.. Blank
is dead, said he, and l don't know what
we are going to do without him. His
articles were such special feature, and
there is no one else in the country with
ability enough to write them
Isn't there1 l asked. But do you
think that they have been good as uaual
of late1
Better, he replied. The articles be-
came stronger and wiser the older he
grew.
But are you sure that there has been
no falling off these last few months1 l
persisted.
No, indeed it Is just there where
the improvement is noticeable. The
older he grew the better became his
work. And that makes it all the more
discomforting to realize that we can
never secure anyone who could do
them one-ten!h as well, he added
mournfully.
Oh! yes we can, l answered. 1t
may interest you to know that for more
than year past Mr.. Blank has not
written one line for the Ledger.
Not written one line2 gasped my
amazed editor.
No; for the last year and longer
Mrs. Blank has been doing her hus-
bands work, and she is still quite cap
able of continuing to do so.
And she did and does to-day.
There, you can see, is case where
veteran was fooled by woman's
efficiency. Perhaps. if Mrs. Blank had
come and asked permission to write
the articles her ability would have been
mistrusted, and she would not have
done as good work as the feeling OF
confidence enabled her to turn out

try and are glad they went.
Mr.. Powers is fairly hum
ming with the buzz of improvement.
We have five big smelters in the town
that pay out every month S68,ooo in
wages. In three years the population
has increased from 5000 to 10000. 1t

Colorado. We have a union station
that cost 100000 and an opera house
that would be credit to Washington.
Thirty miles of electric street railway
are in operation. Real estate has ad-
vanced enormously, and bold dealers
have piled up fortudes.
When he had said this and a good
deal more his friend Johnson remarked

ment in the country is confined to
Colorado. Understand that Arizona
is in it, and that on 40 lillputian scale.

Marchand, of Irwin Station, one of the
wealthiest and foremost citizens of that
pretty little town. He has ever since
complied with all requests for the Pill.
His modest little frame office on Second
street is rather hard 10 find for a stran-
ger, and their is nothing about it to
indicate other than a general practi-
toner's business.
The doctors name and nothing
more is inscribed on the card at the
door.
DIR. James Marchand fully realizes
that he owns something that would
prove veritable gold mine to him if
properly advertised. But he refuses to
do that, saying that the requirements
under which the formula descended to
him forbids advertising of any kind. If
people hear of it and need it, let them
come to him for pill, but he will go
to no pains 10 make known the remedy.
THEY REFUSE TO ADVERTISE.
Some of the medical profession are
enemies of the pill and its owners, be-
cause the code of ethics demands the
free use of all medicines and instru-
ments, no matter how discovered, The
Marchands insist on keeping their
secret to themselves. But they free
themselves from all guspicion of quack-
cry by so steadily refusing to advertise
the pill. They charge very little more
for it than ordinary medicine OF any
kind, the ingredients being a little more
expensive. DIR. James was even 10th
to talk to me about the matter fearing
that the effect might be to practically
advertise him.
He admitted that within his own
practice of the formula he had met with
no failures, and he has treated probably
400 persons who claimed to have been
bitten by mad dogs. Many of these
were treatment by letter, because pa
tlents have applied to him from as far
west as California. Others have come
to Irwin from such distances as Mime
sofa.
ABSOLUTELY NO FAILURES.
He always makes the request when
he administers or sends away pill that
he be notified if it fails to prevent hy-
drophobia. In no instance has he re-
ceived an unfavorably reply. The doc
tor said of course many of the persons
whom he treated may have been mis-,
taken as to the nature of their injury.
Fear often leads persons to think
that dog that has bitten him was mad.
And very frequently also people think
it best to be on the safe side when
bitten, whether the dog was mad or not.
"This pill" he said, ''is not cure for
hydrcphobia in its active stages. 1t is
a preventive if taken as soon after the
biting as possible"
GLOW does the number of your pa
tlents this summer compare with that
of other seasons ~ | asked DR.. March
and in conclusion.
"There have been fewer applicants
for the hydrophobla pill this summer
than ever BEFORE" he replied.
So Chief J. o. Browns war on un-
muzzled dogs in Pittsburg was success
after all. L. E. SToFIEL.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1890-09-13

The State authorities, it is said, fin
ally proposed to DIR. Marchand that
they would pay him sum equaling five
cents tax annually on every taxable in
PENNSYLVANIA, if he would surrender up
his little pill. This was refused, DIR.
Marchand remind ng the State Of the
bond of honor he was under TO carry out
the requirements of will.
When he died the secret was found
in his will designed for his son, DR..
Samuel Marchand, of Westmoreland
county. That gentleman lived at Jack
sonville, or Jacktown," as it is better
known, on the old PIttsburg and Green
burg Pike, mile and a half west of
Irwin station. 1t was during his prac-
tice of medicine that the hydrophobia
specific become best known to the
world. One of the requirements which
came down with the formula for max
ing the pill was that it was not to be
advertized, presumably because 1t would
be unprofessional. However people in
every part of the Untion soon learned
of the hydrophobia pill.
ENTERTAINING HYDROPHOBA PATIENTS
Up until the war broke out DIR. Sam
uel Marchand had all that he could
attend to in this line. Patients threat
ened with rabies came to him from as
far west as Kansas, and from the South.
Hugh Mcintyre kept hotel at ack-
town, within few yards of DIR. Mar
chand's mansion, and there the strang-
ers would be gwen lodgings. MIR.

the hotel. Neither is there one not well
ventilated, nor one that does not afford
magnificent view of the sea, or Of the
surrounding country. The rooms are
fitted up with all possible convenience,
including bath, hot and cold water; and
in all the rooms are fireplaces. The man
tells and wood work are finished in the
best style of art.
Besides the sleeping apartments there
are dining rooms for all sorts of pur-
poses. The large dining room seats 800
guests. 1t is magnificent room with
high arched ceilings, fine hard finish,
splendidly lighted and with charming
views of all points. A guest cannot sit
down in the room where he will not enjoy
a superb marine view. There is also a
balcony for musicians TO discourse sweet
strains while a banquet may be in
progress.
Corresponding with the dining-room
on another side of the house is the ball
room. 1t is about the same size as the
dining-room, and much the same in
form. 1t may be entered from the main
floor or from the upper one. The floor
is all of hard inlaid woods.
There are cosy little breakfast rooms
and children's dining room. There is
a barber's shop with baths attached.
The kitchen and it's accessories are as
perfect as modern skill can make
things. 1t is marvellous, the multiplicity
OF appliances in modern cuisine. There
is not only the big range, but there ale

hshment-the steam pump. the eleva-
tors. The dynamos, of which there are
two, are for running the one thousand
lncandescent lights all through the
house and the twelve immense arc lights
that are to illuminate the grounds.
Water, hot and cold, is carried to every
room. There are cheerful fire-places in
all the rooms. They will seldom be
needed, however, as the temperature is
about the same the year round-never
hot, never cold.
'The baths, closets and appointments

There will be most charming billiard
room, with a cozy 'sideboard,' and bill

provided. The hotel is now being fur
nished with most elegant and tasty car

being spared to make it an elegant and
comfortable home"
A poetic inspiration seized Mrs. George
j. Ainsworth, the accomplished wife of
Captain Ainsworth, vice-president of the
Redondo Company, and she has, instead
OF numbering the rooms, named them
''The Venice" "The Naples" the
Como" and other classic, Spanish or
Italian names.

The Metal Markets.

According to Bradstreet's estimate there is a
better feeling in Western and Southern markets
regarding the future of pig iron, and quotations
are now firmly held. Stocks are declining, and
there is good prospect for an increased output
later in the season. Pig iron makers feel quite
at ease over the present trade conditions and
prospects. The bar plate, sheet, muck bar and
wrought iron pipe mills throughout the country
are busy, and orders are flowing in at full prices
Structural iron is in good request, and mills are
everywhere oversold at strong figures. Prices
for steel rails are hardening, and an improving
demand is reported at Pennsylvania and West
ern mills. Bessemer pig is tending up in price,
and this fact is affecting steel rail quotations.
Bullets and sla bS are under more active inquiry,
but buyers are slow about placing fall orders.
Throughout the West there is an active demand
for agricultural implements and machinery, and
manufacturers are now in the market for the
purpose of covering their requirements for the
next six months. Nails are moving with COM
parative freedom. Sheet iron is very active,
and plates and tubes are wanted in large guam
titles.
Copper has advanced further, and the market
Is strong. Lake Superior ingot has been quoted
al 1924 Gl6c, with casting brands at lie, Con
sumption continues large as ever, The
strength of the metal is fully reflected in the
Boston market for copper mining shares, where
speculative activity is pronounced.

FORT WORTH. Tex. June II, 1890.
Trade yesterday and to-day is better as COM
pared with the opening of last week, and to-day
business has been quite brisk, especially in re-
tail lines. A prominent wholesale grocer said
to-day: 1--WE are doing frst-elass shipping
trade for the season OF the year, and our city
make the same report.
The general markets of the city are having &
Big run, and are pressed TO supply their custom
ers. Poultry, eggs, butter and vegetables Of
all kinds are in demand, and prices are better
supply limited. Note revision in these illness
also in Who'll Osale grocery quotations.
In view of the fact that the United States Is
this year largely dependent on the foreign rice
to supply the deficiencies IN ITS own crop, the
ousntity and quality of the Eastern crops and
tendencies of the markets abroad are of more
interest than for several years past. Messrs.
Dan Talmage's Sons, in their circular of the
18th inst, state that the rice crop throughout
the world is short, and some sections which
have hitherto exported largely are importing to
supply their own wants. Outward movement

similar period, 03T 500 bags. The total output
of the East since January l, 3, 1913, 900 bags;
last year equal period, $4,000 bags The
section to another has greatly diminished the
supply of the world at large; stocks in English,
Continental and American markets are Jar short
of the previous year. Amount on hand, Ameri-
can markets, Isl inst, TO- 0UO bags; equal date,
1889, los 900 bags. The crop of the United States
is practically exhausted al all primary and mill
ing centers, and they will have to buy foreign to
some considerable extent to supply their wants
until new can be reached. In view of the great
shortage, values are already enhanced, and fur
ther and radical advances are anticipated, es-
pecially in the better grades, such rs are up to
the standard requirements OF the markets OF this
country.
