AN inventive genius has applied for a
patent on a machine which he thinks
will inaugurate new era in methods of
infiicting capital punishment. 1t con-
sists of frame or chair in which the
condemned mans body is securely
fastened. The head is then set tightly
in a metal or leather cap which is con-
nected with machinery SO arranged that
at given signal the criminals head can
be twirled about two or three times
rapidly on his shoulders. The advan-
tages of this device can be seen at once.
1t would never fail to.work and would
be absolutely painless after the first
whirl.

AN AIDERMAN'S
OPINION.

THIS is to certify that I have used SAW
YER'S DANDEDION COMPOUND as
blood purifier and appetizing tonic with
the very best results. have never before
given my testimonial for any patent medi-
cine, from the fact that L had very little
faith in them. For a long time have been
troubled with chronic constipation result
ing in loss of appetite and sick headache.
and most of the time felt miserable. After
trying sarsaparilla pills and many other
remedies with no good results, I was in
duced by feiend to take SAWYER'S
| DANDELION COMPOUND. Before the
first bottle was taken I felt like new
man, all trouble from constipation vanish
ed, headache disappeared, and instead of
having an appetite like an invalid, I ate
like a longshoreman, take great pride in
recommending this remedy to my friends
and the public in general as splendid
family medicine. I keep it on hand all
she time, give it to my children with good
results and find it wonderful tonic. In
times of peace prepare for war, and the
| best ammunition you can have with which
to battle against disease and keep the or
gans in normal condition is SAWYER'S
DANDELION COMPOUND.

The Worlds Fair Authorities Say They
Are Making Money Already.
CHICAGO, May 90. - Fiuanciers Of the
Worlds Fair are congratulating them
selves on the fact that the Exposition is
already making money. The daily reports
received by Auditor Alderman show that
in spite of unfavorable weather and gener-
Gus treatment of concessionaires, the EX-
position Company is now receiving more
than So, 900 a day above the running ex-
penses. AS the working force in all de
partments is being reduced, the surplus
will begin to accumulate rapidly within a
few days. The receipts are now about SIG,
900 day, of which $4,000 to So. 900 comes
from concessionaires.
- IL the percentage due from concession
aires were collected daily, the income would
now be about $50, 900. In many cases it
has been found necessary to exercise con-
siderable lenience with cOncessionares who
have been conducting restaurants and SIM
liar places at a great loss. Nearly three
thousand men have been dropped from the
roll within the past two weeks.
For more than six months the bottom of
the cash box has been almost visible every
day. Every resource of the Exposition
Company was exhausted in the effort to
complete the buildings in time for the
opening exercises, and even then the
fair opened with almost So, 600, 900 of I'M
paid bills in the hands of contractors.
With payrolls reduced and the income OF
the Fair increasing day by day, these un-
| settled accounts will soon be taken up.

In a recent investigation Of the Ari-
iona territorial prison at Yuma, w. z.
Meade, superintendent of the prison,
and Attorney General Francis J. Henry
caused the persons and cells of the con-
victs to be searched. No fewer than
thirty-two daggers, butcher knives,
saws, files and slungshots were found,
besides morphine and other drugs.
Boxes of goods which were about to be
shipped out by Mr.. McInernany, the
superintendent under the former adj
ministration, were seized at the rail-
road depot and found to contain sew
eral hundred dollars worth Of prison
property. McInernany was arrested and
held to bail to await the action of the
grand jury. A large amount Of prison
property is still missing. Several
guards returned property, claiming
that the superintendent told them TO
take it.

In The COURTS IT GOESI
The Sunday Closing Question
Still Unsettled.
THE FAIR Is MAKING MONEY NOW

1t is Said, However, that the Courts Will
Not Grant Any Injunction-The Order
to Open PubIished-Exhibtors Refuse
to Enter Contests.
CHICAGO, May 26.-The first shot in the
Sunday opening fight has been fired.
United States District Attorney Milchrist
following a conference with Attorney Gen
eral Olney in Washington, has sent a
lengthy telegram of instructions to Assist
ant District Attorney Hand in Chicago.
That official has already begun the work
of drawing up a bill for injunction re-
straining the Worlds Fair officials from
opening the fair gates Sundays
The application for an injunction will be
filed in the United States District Court as
soon as completed-which will be this af-
ternoon or tomorrow.
Mr.. Hand said to day:
Congress provided for Sunday closing
without giving the commission any discre-
tionary power in the matter. This is the
stand we will take. What the District
Court will decide Is question. We expect
to file the bill in time to secure an injunc-
tion, which will close the gates this Sun
day. 1t will be directed to both directors
and commission"
The Times says the Fair cannot be closed
on Sunday by an injunction. According
to the Times the United States as a party
complainant would have no grounds to
ask an injunction, nor would the Sabbat-
arians, for that matter, and besides the
latter would be at the disadvantage of
having to file a bond Of such proportions
rs to make it practical impossibility.
~ do not see how the National Govern
ment could interfere by an injunction, !"
said John S. Miller, ex- Corporation Couu-
sci. 1T could not show that it would be
injured in any way for which it has not an
adequate remedy in law. 1t could only be
damaged in any event to the extent of the
| money advanced to the directory, and it
has ample security for that.
Courts of equity do not interfere to
grant injunctions merely as matter of sen,
| timent. There must, as a rule, be some
property right involved which would suffer
irreparable damage if an injunction were
not granted, and such is not the case"
Director General Davis said yesterday
| that from his understanding of the situa-
| ton the gates would be open next Sunday.
''In view of the fact that the Commits
| sion has failed to modify the order of the
| directory ordering the park open" he said,
Il shall direct that the gates shall be
| opened as on other days of the week. I'M
less restrained by some other and more i'm
perative mandate"

A RESIDENT of New York who passed
nearly twenty-five years in the anthra-
cite coal mines of Pennsylvania, says
that few miners Gun easily shake off
the horror that seizes man upon find
ing himself alone at the bottom of a
mine, with the knowledge that there
is no other human being within call.
1t sometimes happens that miner alb
sorbed in his work suddenly realizes
that all but himself have gone. The
place is as safe from. ordinary accidents
then as at any time. and no other Hv-
ing creature more dangerous than a
blind mule shares the miners solitude,
but he finds it impossible long to keep
off the pressing terror; and, hall
ashamed, but completely conquered,
he picks up his dinner pail and gropes
his way to upper air.

THOSE curious authorizations of COM
mon English names Of implements
usual with Italian laborers are gaining
certain currency. The italian Ia
borer calls shovel "sbov," cellar,
''cell," and Ratchet ''hatch." English
speaking foremen find it convenient to
adopt these authorizations and many
others in managing their men, and so
all day long in working gang one
may hear common words thus abbrevi-
ated. On the other hand the Italians
pick up and missapprehend many Eng
lish words, especially oaths. Damn"
seems with them to be an equivalent
of very, and an Italian laborer, smil-
ing blandly and without profane in
tent, will salute his employer with
damn cold morning"

AMONG the curious trades brought

AMONG the curious trades brought
hither by foreigners and hidden
away among the tenements OF
the east side in New York is
that of kaleidoscope making. A
maker of these fascinating toys has
his shop in a dull-looking red brick
row of the German quarter of New
York city. His shop window is high
above the street, and-only person ac-
quainted with the building can find
the door leading to the shop. When
found it is closed and locked half the
time, but that puzzling window with
it's half dozen kaleid oscopes always
looks down upon the street.
