THEIR HEADS CUT OFF.
Berland Struggled Desperately With H9s
Executioners in Paris.

PARIS, July 2S.-The double execution
of young 'Berland and Dore was a most
exciting and horrible scene. When Ber-
land was being taken to the guillotine
he fought the prison guards like an
incarnate demon, pounding, tearing and
scratching them every foot of the way
from the condemned cell to where the
shadow of the great knife fell upon the
still struggling group.
Even after the miserable wretch had
been forced into a recumbent position
he made furious efforts to break away.
The united efforts of three assistants
were necessary to hold the young MUIR
derer still long enough to permit of the
executioner doing his duty.
When the blade finally rushed down.
ward it did 80 to send out of the world
one who left it shrieking. cursing and
struggling to the last.
Dore submitted Quietly to his fate.
Three hundred policemen on foot, $50
infantry and 100 mounted officers sur
rounded the guillotine.
No sooner had the heads of the muir
derers rolled into the basket than the
crowd surged forward and with a mighty
rush broke through the Gordon OF SOL
diers and policemen stationed around
the guillotine.
An American who was anxious to SEQ
an execution by the guillotine paid $500
for the use of q window commanding .

cessive Smoking.


cessive Smoking.
BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, July 29.-There
is a we'll authenticated rumor floating
about this town that Edwin Booth is dy-
ing from the effects of too much
smoking He is such a slave to the
weed that he cannot stop smoking even
though he knows it is killing him. Its
effect upon his health is just as fatal,
though not of tho same character, as
that which shut out the life of General
Grant.
Joe jefferson and ex-President and
Mrs. Cleveland have been striving to re-
form Mr.. Booth in this respect, and for a
while they partly succeeded, but the
habit had too strong hold upon him
and his indulgences became more unre-
strained than ever. 1t is because of this
relapse and because he knows that he
can get no better in health that he left
here suddenly. He has gone to Maria
