EISG SING. N. r., July 7.-Slocum
SmiDsr. Wood and Jusifo suffered the death
penalty this moaning. Slocum was the
first to be put to death. He was electro
! cuted st 442. The second victim wal
Smilef, and the time Is. Wood wAi
third, time 3S. Jugifo. the Japanese
sailor, was the fourth and last victim. He
was dispatched at 6 05A A. M. The entire
time consumed in executing the four men
was one hour 23 l.3 minutes.
The executions went off quietly, all Of
the men were killed ON first contact. There
WAS no struggle when they were strapped
down or resistance Of any kind. Especial
mistakes which had made the Kemler affair
o6 without hitch.
Electrodes were not spplied to the top Of
the ekull and base Of the spine, but were
bound to the forehesds and calves Of the
legs. The current was turned on in each
case for 20 seconds. The voltage was 1900
to 1900 In each case there were apparent
evidencss Of revival, as in the Kemmler
care. and in each Of these four cases the
current was turned on second time. In
spite Of the fact that the sponges were kept
constantly wet, all Of the executed men
were burned by the current, especially
about the calves Of the legs.
The medical men present agree that
death came in the first contact and that the
seeming revival was merely q reflex of the
muscular action, Warden Brown declined
to allow representatives. Of the press associ-
s,ions to have access to the execution,
either - witnesses or assistants.
A witness Of the execution gave the fol
lowing sccount to . friend. who in turn
impaired it to reporters: Abou. 4 o'clock
the witnesses and jurors were ushered into
the death chamber. Slocum was the 6rst
of the musdeYefs TO como into the room.
He received the last Offices of Rev. Father
Creeden, and with tremendous effort TO
keep his composuYe, declared himself ready
Ia die. Then he was strapped to chair
and the current appiied. Death WAS in-
Simultaneous. There was a sudden con-
traction Of the nerves and then all Was over.
Smiler followed next. Rev. Mr.. Edger-
ton cheered him up. Hs Immediately was
strapped to the chair and an instant later
the current flashed through him that sent
him into eternity. Next TO follow was
Wood, the negro. He had been worked up
to state OF religious enthusiasm and it
was while in this frame Of mind he WAS
fastened into the chair aud killed by the
fatal shock. Jugiro was stubborn 70 the
last. There WAS IN habitaaiiy ferocious,
ugly look on his face. He was closely
guarded and short work was made OF him.
The death Of the four men sppesred to
the observer to be painless. Death came
like flash. Doctors took charge Of tho
bodies imme diately after death and began
an autopsy.

day. The soda fountain, with its number
less syrups, some of them with queer names
that had never been heard of before, and with
its shining metal fixtures, that seem to
wink and blink in the electric light, is al
ways certain of attracting the young
couples, who find it thirsty task to exam
inc the various exhibits, and who fancy soda
water and lemonade the true nectar of the
gods. The lemonade and other drinks are
said to be very good, so there is more than
ordinary excuse for likening it to nectar.
ANY kind of liquid would be pleasant to
the palate if consumed to the strains of
Cappa's Seventh Regiment Band. Last night
the leader had as admiring an audience as
he ever played to in his life, The seats in
the center of the main hall, in front of the
band stand, were all occupied, and there
were hundreds of people lingering in the
vicinity who did not care for sitting down
SO long as they were privileged to enjoy the
music.
POPULAR PROGRAMMES OF MUSIC.
The programmes arranged by Mr.. Cappa
are all of the popular character. To be sure
he gives a little Wagner, generally, but
then Wagner is popular to an extent. His
works are not all so very heavy, and II Is
possible for a well-informed musician to
make up programme of Wagner that the
unlearned in musical matters would not
think of crediting to the great master of
advanced music. But Cappa does not con-
fine himself to music by Wagner He is not
above playing Little Annie Rooney"
Comrades" or any of the favorites by
comparatively unknown composers, provided
the music has a jingle that is calculated to
please his hearers. He is very fond of
patriotic airs, too, and ''The Star-Spangled
Banner" and "Yankee Doodle" reverberate
through the hall with a vim that is cal
culated TO stir the blood of the most care
less. The music is an excellent feature of
the Exposition.
The Art Gallery is full of good pictures,
embracing the whole range of subjects and
exemplifying all schools of art. Home and

The Rosenhaum Exhibit

Is near the center of main hall, and one
takes in the tremendous array Of stockings
and corsets, articles essentially feminine,
the raison d'etre of the close proximity of
the woman in black calmly resting in the
rocking chair, and the half figure in white
who languidly fans herself as she turns her
head from side to side, will be apparent. 1t
is said that this exhibit will be changed each
week to give some faint idea of the wonder
full resources of this establishment, which is
Just now a marvel of attractiveness with all
the latest fall novelties in the way of mil
Hnery. hosiery, laces, jackets, cloaks and
notions. 1t is quite too late in the day to
announce that the stores are numbered from
$40 to 51S Market street, for everyone in
Pittsburg and vicinity is perfectly ac-
quainted with the fact.

THE PALACE OF MUSIC.
Mellor 8 Hoene. 77 Fitch Avenue.


This firm is carrying out the spirit of the
Exposition at their immense wareroom
where, if you want the very best instru-
ments, both pianos and organs, you can
crafty yourself to the uttermost. Messrs.
Mellor & Hoene have now this spacious
wareroom entirely to themselves, yet it
barely sufices to hold, even with all inge-
nuity displayed in the arrangement the
immense collection of these valuable instru-
ments. First in order come the great Hard
man pianos that no one has the right to do
without when they must and will have the
very best, and the reliable A B. Chase &
Co., uprights, and those prime favorites,
the Krakauer, which always meet your e1-
pectations; also, the Harringtons, less well
known here as yet, but rapidly climbing
into favor. These instruments are in the
different styles of grands, uprights and
square, but this firm makes speciality of
"uprights" and rightly, too, for all the
noted factories have given special attention
to this particular form. Because the
"1Eolians" happen to be mentioned last let
1t not be supposed that they are of less
importance than the others; day by day
they are rising higher and higher in popular
estimation; they cannot help it If they
would, for people have ascertained their
value. Another specially of this firm is
the reasonable price charged and the easy
and convenient terms in regard to paying
the same,

The He No Tea Hong.

The kitchen of the He-No ''T'' hong is q
commodious house of six sides, built of cop
per, paper and black bamboo. The coloring
of the bamboo is natural-no stainings OF
artificial means being used, it being of a
rare variety. The roof, which at the caves
is hexagon. rises in curve to a square,
the effect being both wonderful and artistic,
and therein the He-No tea is drawn. There
are two lafge boilers, each holding -four
gigantic earthen crooks, where the tea is
kept hot by the water surrounding them.
These are four immense copper kettles con-
tanning boiling water and steam away all
the time, they being very particular that
the water is fully boiling when putting on
the leaves The kitchen is lighted by Jap
anese lanterns with electric lights therein.
In the other house the crowd is easily
handled by the very obliging attendants,
and all are loud in their praises of the de-
lightful beverage.

DON'T BE CAUGHT

by "cut prices" Don't buy spurious
limitations of DR.. Pierce's medicines at
less than the regular prices, and think
that you're saving money. You would
be, if you could get the genuine guar
anteed medicines in that way. But
YOU can't. The genuine medicines are
sold only through regularly authorized
agents, and always have been, are, and
always will be sold at these prices:
DR.. Pierce,s Golden Medical Discovery

a torpid liver or impure blood),.
$1.00 per bottle.
Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription (for
woman's weaknesses and ailmentsl
S1.00 per bottle.
DR.. Pierce,s Pleasant Pellets { the
original and best Liver Pills),
% cents per vial.
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
-. so cents per bottle.
And they're worth that-they're worth
more than that. They're the cheapest
medicines you can buy, at any price,
for they're guaranteed in every cass to
benefit or cure, or you have your money
back. You pay only for the good you
get. No other remedies of their kind
are, or could be, sold on these terms.
Dealers not authorized to sell DR..
Pierce's genuine medicines may offer
dilutions. limitations, or substitutes, at
less than the prices given above. Be-
ware of them.

The Standard Manufacturing Co mpany
Whose Offices are at Nos. 531 and b33 Wood
street. have their superb exhibit at the ex-
treme upper end of main floor. To look at
this display is to realize that everything
connected with bathrooms and sanitary
plumbing in general has been brought to
the highest degree of art and excellence.
Take for instance the larger, or inner
bathroom, of the two styles exhibited:
This contains first. the royal albion"
bath, the NEUROLOGICAL story told In the
panels of oxidized silver in repousse work;
the lavstory of jasper marble resting on its
silver base. the bowl with hand-painted
lilies shading up to the tones of the rich
effective marble; the closet with all that is
new and desirable in advanced sanitary
plumbing; the cool looking peach
tinted tiled walls, and the black
and white vitrifed tiled floor
would, taken as a whole, seem to leave
nothing further to be desired, yet step into
the adjoining bathroom and thoroughly
enjoy what YOU will see there. Imagine the
bathtub, "Alblon" pattern, in ivory tinted
enamel, the base a mass of hand painted
blooming water plants, all the metal work
being of heavy gold plating, this including
the shower bath suspended over the tub; the
lavatory with slab and square columned ieet
of Pedrara onyx, gold plating being used
here, too, the square bowl being hand painted
to correspond In this perfection of detail; the
closet of bird's-eye maple, the walls cream
tinted with border of French blue, while the
tiled flooring in two delicate shades COM
pletes this enhancing apartment.
Other examples of bathroom and laundry
essentials fill the, large space. Among the
marbles employed by the Standard Manu-
featuring Company are noted fine specimens
of Sienna, Formosa, Rose Aurora, Vermont,
Tennessee and Georgia

A dense crowd is always to be found

NTERESTING SCHOOL DISPLAYS.
An interesting display upstairs in the
main hall is a collection of pressed ferns of
Allegheny county from the Fern Club of
the High School of Pittsburg. In connec-
tion with this display there is collection
of stuffed snakes from Allegheny county.
Mechanical Hall is a very interesting por-
tion of the Exposition to most of the visit
ors. The dozens of young girls who are
rolling tobies and cigars do their work in
the midst of large crowd most of the time.
They go through all the processes, from
preparing the raw tobacco leaf to making it
into roll for smoking. Then they give
the cigars to the people.
The great glass furnace is in full blast,
and men are seen in the red glow blowing
all sorts of articles in glass for the admira-
+ien of the visitors. This is, as it was last
year, one Of Che most attractive exhibits in
the whole Exposition. A carpetweaving
loom was started up yesterday, and another
for weaving souvenir silk hankerchiefs,
with picture of the Exposition, is going
in another part of Mechanical Hall
Things are working very smoothly at the
Exposition now, and there is no friction
among all the hundreds engaged there.
Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday of next
week will be children's days, when all the
public school children will be admitted
