Savings Bank Failure.

MONTGOMERY Ala, July S.-Moses
Bros. bank suspended payment yester-
day. They say their assets are more
than their liabilities. The failure is
due to the strngency OF money. The
liabilities are said to be about half a
million dollars. They did savings
bank business and had scores of de
positors among the poorer people. \
local bank offered Moses Bros. 800. :
600 to tile over the crisis. but they
refused to take it. The firm stands
very high for integrity and few believe
there is anything dishonest about the
suspension. Each Individual member
of the firm included his home, all real
estate and personal property in the
schednie of assignment.

draws the conclusion that there is no
longer any such commodity as pure
olive oil. Visiting all the oil-produc-
ing factories of Italy, and applying
scientific tests, he discovered that
what was sold for olive oil and labeled
as such almost always contained an
admixture of cottonseed oil or other
adulterations Arguments for the
proper labelling of food products, I'M
der penalty of law, continue to multi
ply. The oil-producing countries of
Europe are but a single instance of
gross imposition upon the public. 1t
is not contended that many of these
food authorizations are anything but
beneficial from various standpoints.
They are often cheaper than the pure
article, and hence more accessible to
the poor. In these days of chemical
discoveries the entire constituent parts
of the various foods have their substi-
tutes. All are not equally good, but
all are not bad.

INTELLECTUAL sympathy is rare

INTELLECTUAL sympathy is rarer
and more difficult of attainment than
mere sympathy with pain or pleasure.
Those accustomed TO one line of thought
and asso ciating only with those who
share it cannot readily understand how
any one can differ from them, and
are therefore inclined to doubt their
honesty or their intelligence. Much
bitter controversy much harsh and
unjust criticism, is due to the feeble
ness of this power. Neither party can
put himself in the place of the other,
or see how he came to hold such be-
liefs, or why he should not at once
abandon them.

VIII Try TO Produce Rain.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Colonel
Dyrenforth OF the department Of agri-
culture with two assistants left here
yesterday for the interior OF Texas.
where he will ma Ike further expert
ments as to the fea sibility OF making
rain in arid regions by exploding bal
looms charged with oxygen and hydro
gen at q considerable height in the air.
Tests will also be made in exploding
dynamite attached to the tails OF huge
kites in connection with the theory
that rain may be produced by the con-
cussion OF high explosives in mid air.
The dynamite is to be exploded in the
same manner as are the balloons, that
is by slender wire leading to the kites
ana connected with an electric battery
worked from the ground. Colonel
Dyrenforth will seek some sequestered
spot in Texas where the noise will not
disturb any one and will make thor
ough and exhaustive experiment as to
whether or not IA 10 can be produced
when needed by means OF explosions
near the clouds.

The Effects of Electrocution.

SING SING. N. Y. July 1O.-Every-
body expected that DIR. Carlos F. Mac
Donald would WELD the lancet during
the autopsy of. the electrocuted MUIR
derers. but when the medical men as
sembled in the little room adjoining
the death chamber, where the bodies
OF the four murderers lay on slate
slabs. it was found that DR.. Giesen Of
Green Point had been deputed to per-
form that function assisted by DR..
Franklin Thompson. jr. The other
physicians present were DR.. Samuel b.
Ward of Albany, DR.. L. V. Cortelyu
OF Brooklyn, Prof. Laudy, DR.. Daniels
and DR.. Allison OF Auburn.
After brief discussion it was de-
cided to operate on the Jap Jugiro
first. In accordance with this plan
the operating table. such as is used in
dissecting rooms, was wheeled in on
rubber casters into the center OF the
room. The autopsy then proceeded as
follows. the words of the narration of
which are given exactly as they fell
from the lips OF one OF the physicians
in attendance, whose name is withheld
at his request.

he said. "because of his physical de-
velopment. He was as remarkably

gular cut was made directly over the
breast bone. The heart and lungs
were then removed, and afterwards the
Ii; II
Both lungs and the heart were filled
with venous blood. The color of all
the organs as we doctors say, was
perfect The fluids in the body were
thinner than before death, showing the
rapid disintegration caused by the pas
sage OF the current. There were no
marks or burns on any of the men,
and they were all possessed of remark
ably fino physiques, while their in
ternal organs were not diseased in any
way. The Japanese would really adorn
the anatomical museum. A significant
fact was that his brain was more than
average size and normal. This proved
conclusively that any talk as to his
insanity was the verest bost. AS soon
as the autopsy on his body had been
concluded the organs were replaced
and the triangular aperture closed. us
indeed was done with each of the
others.
1.-The second man executed was Smi-
Ter. His relatives were waiting to
claim the body. Nothing extraordi-
nary was discovered except that his
left lung had several tubercles which
might have troubled him in later years
had he lived. Wood AID Slocum fol-
lowed with the result of showing us in
the others. perfect internal organs.
Il have performed II great many
autopsies, but never saw one done I'M
der more favorable circumstances. You
see that practically the men were the
same as though they had been cut up
alive-death came instantly. The av-
erage man has not stomach which is
healthy. but Jugiro's was wonderfully
SO.
"The absence OF marks or burned
spots is explained in the careful way
in which the electropodes wero APP
piled. Usually blister is found
which is caused by the moisture in the
sponge evaporating as steam, scalding

Prime,s Crop Report.

CHICAGO, July S.-Prmes weekly
crop report published today says; The
country now, taking the crop outlook
rs whole, has experienced fourteen
days OF favorable conditions which go
to make up the crop season. There is
no area OF the country today which is
suffering for want of rain to any great
extent. The development of insect
life has not for several years been us
small as at the present time. Last
week was an excellent one for the
gathering of winter wheat and the
only storms Of wind and rain have
been those of n local character. The
spring wheat crop as Il whole has not
only held its own, but has made rapid
growth and the conditions are all fay
orable. The corn OF the country rs u
whole is hardly just where it ought to
be in growth. But corn has now re-
ceived all the consideration that it will
got on the crop. 1t has had hard
time in Nebraska, Kansas and Mis-
souri, particularly in the last named
state. The excessive rains OF week
ago not only damaged crops, but gave
the weeds chance to grow. All
things considered corn has just about
held its own for the past fourteen
days. The cool weather of last week
has been good for oats, and whilo they
have headed out short they ought
under these conditions, to fill well. Ma
oats will be fit to cut for two or three
weeks. The scarcity OF oats and also the
general scarcity OF all kinds of coarse
feed will make great demand for the
new crop.

Sensational Story In Connection with
the Recent Eiect-OcutiOn.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The following
is printed in an extra edition of an
evening paper here: The body of MUIR
dercr Harris A. Smiler was brought
to this city this af ternoon by Under
taker Hulberg OF 565 West 125th street
on the train which left Sing Sing at
1850 o'clock. The body had been
claimed by Smiler's widow. the woman
he married and deserted for tho woman
whom he afterwards killed. The body
was taken off the train at the station
at Fourth avenue and 125th street. 1t
was then conveyed to the undertaking
rooms. Three or four hundred people
were gathered to witness the arrival
of the body.
BY previous arrangement with the
undertaken reporter was in waiting
at the rooms to see the body of the
| executed murderer. The coffin was
taken into the base ment and the lid
was quickly taken off. exposing the
dead mans face.
The reporter sto I'd close by and was
Mortified ut the sight that met his eyes.
Smiler's face had been burned and
scanned by the electric fluid until it
presented the appearance OF having
been broiled. The hair on the front
OF the head, the moustache and eye
orows had been singed and burned off.
The face was furrpwad opd s.orrad {, .
though with hot iron. These marks
were not those of q scapel of dssecting
knife; they were palpable burns.
Pressing closer to see the dead face
palmer the reporter attracted the at
tention of the undertaker's assistants
and they seized him by the shoulder
and compelled him to leave the place
before any other portion of the body
was exposed.
10 repeated requests to be allowed
to see the body the reporter was in
formed that nobody but the undertaken
and his assistants would be permitted
to see it until it had been fully pre-
pared for burial.
1t was learned through one OF the
undertaker's assistants that Smiler's
left leg was burded to the bone through
the calf and the eyes were also badly
burned.
Following the above is printed a
Sing Sing dispatch from correspond
ent who had been directed to question
Warden Brown about the alleged con-
dition OF Smiler's body. This dispatch
is rs follows: Warden Brown said
when asked as to the burning OF Smi-
ler's body: II still adhere to my de-
termination to make no statement
whatever. / will neither deny nor
confirm the report. No influence can
be brought to bear upon me to induce
me TO say anything whatsoever regard
ing the electrocution beyond the sim
pie statement that on July Slocum.
Smiler, Wood and Jugiro were exc
cuted according to law" Father Cree
don is quoted by priest from another
village who rode down town with the
reporter today as saying that when the
whole story came out it would be dis
closed that all the doomed men were
burned by the electrodes, but that they
had been so mutilated by the surgeons
knives that it would be difficult of
proof. The priest who particularly
desired to keep his name out OF print,
said he had been Told the same thing
by layman who had seen the bodies,
presumably prison employee" Con-
frmation OF the above is not at hand.
