Sing-He Showed no Fear of Death.
SING SING, n. Y, Feb. S.-Charles
Mcklvaine was electrocuted at Ills
this morning. McElvaine went to his
death calmly. When he was brought
into the execution room he looked
quickly about and then fixed his
eyes on the CT air. At a
sign from the chief keeper he
walked over to it unf1inchingly
and sat down. Then he stared straight
ahead of him as the deputies quickly
adjusted the straps and drew them
tight. As the face strap was adjusted
McElvaine grew excited and shouted:
Let her 60" Instantly the current
OF 1000 volts was turned on and McEl-
valne was silenced. Steam began
to rise from the salt water in the
sponges on the electrodes. The cur
rent was turned off and then applied
again as in the case of the previous
executions at Sing Sing.
The first contact was at 11:11:49 and
was continued for 5O15 seconds. It was
through the head and hands. The Sec
ono contact was 40 seconds later and
was continued for 36 seconds. Between
the two contacts sounds resembling
groans came from the victims lips. but
the physicians say that the man was
dead and the sound was caused by re.
fex chest muscles. After the second
contact there were no sounds or move
ments, The body was at once taken
away to be dissected.

THE LOTTERY DEAD.

There is every reason to believe that the
existence of the Louisiana lottery will
cease with the expiration of It's present
charter in 1894, says the Chicago Herald,
The decision of the United States supreme
court, uplolding the validity of the anti
lottery postal law, was death blow to the
Louisiana company. The extent of its
scheme compelled it to depend for its 7e-
ceipts on more than local patronage, and
its success was impossible without the use
of the postal facilities of the country.
The statutes of the several states imposing
punishments for the traffic in lottery tick
cts might be avided or rendered lnefect-
i've. But the exclusion of the lottery s
business from the mails is fatal to It's
hopes for further lease of life, without re-
gard to the action of the pc, pie Of Loulsl-
ana. Mr. J. A Morris, of the Louisiana
company, who Is a shrewd man, has been
quick to appreciate the sweeping effect Of
the courts decision. He gives further
evidence of his per spicacity by wisely
abandoning battle in which victory, if
achieved, would be barren of profitable
result. With the death of TIE New Or
leans octopus there is almost positive as
surance that another giant lottery enter
prise will never again flourish in the
United States. The destruction of this
system of robbery is good for the morals
of the people. Admitting that here and
there a small invest ment of money in a
lottery may once IN a great while bring
large returns does not lessen the evil.
There was a great deal of truth in the OBJ
servation of Horace Greeley: "a sad day
in any mans life is that on which he
comes into possession of a dollar which he
has not honestly earned.

THAT" said DIR. Depew, with grave
nod, lis certainly the most important
announcement that has been made in
this presidential canvass Blaine was
certain of the nomination. There would
have been no name put in opposition
against him and he is still in position
to largely dictate the choice of the con-
vention. The devotion of the party to
Blaine, both in its leadership and rank
and file, has prevented the serious con-
slderation of any other candidate-ex-
cept the natural discussion of the re-
nomination of President Harrison.
AS 1t looks at this moment, on first
impressions upon reading this letter,
the candidate Will be Gen. Harrison;
the platform protection, reciprocity
and honest money, as indicated 5v Mr.
Blaine's letter. The spokesman and
prophet Of the party is James G.

SNAKE OIL.
It's Value as Curative Agent, And How it
l. Obtained.

Within a radius Of ten miles from
Hamburg, Ct. there are half a dozen men
who are accommodating money from the sale
of the oil and grease That they extract
from the various reptiles and animals that
they capture among the lodges and along
the streams.
The muskrat, the polecat and the rattle
snake yield the most valuable oils that
they get, and of these three the ri.ttlesnake
oil is worth the most. 1t finds ready
sale and brings from $25 to $50 an ounce,
according to its purity. This oil is pro-
cured from the eggs of the snake, and the
process of getting it is tedious one. In
capturing the snake care must be taken
not to beat it upon the middle of its body,
for by so dong the hunter runs risk of
breaking the eggs that the snake may be
carry ing, and thus rendering them value
less.
Rattlesnake oil is used as a remedy for
rheumatism, and is one Of the inyredI-
ents employed in the manufacture OF some
of the patent medicines found in the mar
ket for neur gia, rheumatism and obscure
diseases of the joints. Ii is powerful ir-
ritant, and Wien drop of it is applied to
the flesh it has about the same effect that
the application of a coal of fire would.
For this ress on the manufacturers of this
oil are obliged to exercise the greatest
care, and while working at the kettles
they invariably wear gloves, and when
their face is not protected by beard they
cover the lower portion of it with a loose
cloth fastened in place by an elastic band.
