AI IT e Ca" CURED

By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
olten when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scroiula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous soreneck from the time she was 22months
OLD TILL she became six years of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one of them after
growing to the size of a pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
ner HOODS Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be healthy

JAMES PALMER HANGED.
The Death Sentence Executed in the
Jail at Concord, N. n.

CONCORD, n. H., May 1.-Soon after s
O'Clock this morning Sheriff Coffin and his
assistants began the erection of the scaffold
In the prison corridor upon which James
Palmer this forenoon expiated his crime in
numbering Henry T. Whitehouse of Ports
mouth. May 27, 1888.
At o'clock this morning Palmer ate a
hearty breakfast. consisting of beef steak,
eggs, bread and butter and cup of coffee,
with much relish: he was cheerful during
the night and Deputy Warden Robinson
states that this morning no man in prison
was in more bu0yant spirits
AT 1880 this forenoon visitors were ad-
mitted to the guard room at the prison from
which the gallows could be plainly seen. AT
the same time the custody Of the condemned
man was delivered to Sheriff Coffin by the
prison officials.
Mr.. Coffin or his deputies remained with
him until he went to t. scaffold. In addi-
tion to the sheriff's ju of newspaper men
there were about the usual number Of wit
nesses to the hanging. Precisely at 10 "a the
sheriff read the death warrant, Palmer list
ening to its reading with much interest al
though he appeared calm. When he fin
ished reading. the warrant Sheriff Coffin
said: Jimmie, hope you have no hard
feelings against me" ,whereupon he replied,
mo, don't feel hard toward you. ! die
without hard feelings against any one." He
also asked the sheriff to have the execution
over as soon as possible
At 11.03 o'clock Sheriff Coffin made the
proclamation, flames Palmer now proceed
to execute the sentence of the law and may
GOD have mercy on your SOUL" Chaplain
wilkins responded with fervent "Amen."
Almost instantly Deputy Sheriff Towle
touched the fatal spring and the body slot
downward five and one-half feet There
was no struggling. Prison Physician Emery,
at Ills, reportedto Sheriff Coffin that life
was extinct. During all the trying ordeal
Palmer displayed wonderful nerve. While
walking to the scaffold his step was firm.

VIENNA, May 1. = Sixty workingmen's
meetings were held here today. at all of
which resolutions favoring the eight-hour
day were adopted. There haves been few dis
turbances In any quarter of the city. A
crowd collected in the Favoritine Quarter to
witness the workmen's procession returning
from the Prater. The crowd disregarded the
order to disperse, and began to throw stones
at the police. The procession arrived on the
scene and assisted the police to secure the
ringleaders.
A riot occurred at Prasnitz this afternoon,
growing out of the attempt on the part of
the workmen to liberate some of their COM
rades who had been imprisoned. A mob of
1000 made rush on the prison with the in
tention Of setting the inmates free. They
were met by a strong body of troops and re-
pulsed. A few Of the rioters were hurt.
The latest reports from elsewhere in Austria
and Hungary speak only of quiet meetings
in favor of working day of eight hours, at
which the speakers exhorted their hearers
not to break the laws.

General Butler Entertained by the
Club Named for Him.

BOSTON, May 1.-The annual banquet of
the Butler Club was held at the Parker
House tonight. Fully 100 members and gen

more prominent gentlemen present were

by the Union army and navy. He then in

General Buffers speech was devoted to
the subject Of the new organization, "The
Farmers Alliance" and farm mortgages
The General quoted figures to show the enor-
nous extent Of the mortgaged Indebtedness
OF the farmers. He suggested no remedy.
As among the causes of this state of things,
he said: 'We all know that great strike OF
the carpenters and builders Is going on In
Chicago, and threatens on this day to extend
Itself to 100000 workmen IN the country.
Their claim Is that skilled workmen shall be
employ eight hours day only, even IL his
individual wish Is to work longer and that
he shall be paid therefor 40 cents an hour. /
make no observation whether this claim Is
right or wrong | simply state the facts in a

'Now, look to the farmers-I do not mean
the mere farm laborer, but to the man who
owns and tllls the soil himself Let us put
the skilled operative with his tools on the
one side, and the farmer with his
farm, say of 16O acres Of land, on
the other side of the scale, and ascer-
tain, II we can, the result. Within "a hours
railroad ride OF Chicago the farmer cannot
get more than 10 cents a bushel for his corn.
lie cannot raise on the average of years,
year In and year out, more than 10 bushels
TO the acre. He cannot cultivate with his
own hands more than 90 acres, and to do so
much he must be aided by the improved
modern appliances and horse power in some
form to do that. Therefore, 1t will be seen
at once-and think have given the largest
possible value to the farmers corn products
that the carpenter can earn 21 bushels
OF corn by q days labor, or in the
year Of 600 working days, 64O0
bushels Of corn, or $500 in money, the pur-
chaser buying the corn where the farmer
sells 1t. III there is any mistake In my fig
ures anywhere it Is that no farmer, by his in
dividual effort, without the use Of very ex-
penslve horsepower and machinery to aid
him for portion Of the year, can do the la
Dor necessary upon 80 acres of land and its
crop, and II he hires any additional labor 1t
must come out Of what he raises, aud In that

How the Day Passed In the Old Bay

BOSTON. May 1.-Reports from cities and

In Salem no trouble is expected until Sat

urday is pay day and the bosses may out the
pay for the time lost That would probably

All but two Of the contractors in Woburn
signed the nine hour agreement. The men

aay; There were q union carpenters living
IN Boston, but engaged on Newton jobs, who
failed to appear.
A nine hour and more pay movement was
inaqgurated In Brockton by the masons and
tenders, and all contra tors have acquiesced
except Sidney Washburn & Co.. Eldredge &
sylvester and Sampson e. Appleton. Wash
burn d Co. employ 20 masons and 50 tenders !;
Sampson q Appleton, 10 masons and five
tenders; Eldredge d Sylvester, Is masons
and eight tenders. Masons have been re-
ceiving $500 and $3.25 per day and demand
1880 while the tenders who have been re-
ceiving 1925 demand So 80. The resisting
contractors threaten to employ new men.
Haverhill master workmen signed an
agreement granting the demand of their
workmen that nine hours constitute days
work at the old pay of $15 per week.
The journeymen masons' demand for nine
hours has been acceded to in Taunton. OF
100 Journeymen carpenters % belong to the
union. and so unanimous is the feeling against
the nine hour demand that 1t is thought the
