Murderer johnson Electrocuted In Au-
burn Prison.
AUBURN, N. Y, Nov. 15.-At the state
prison Tuesday morning in the pres
ence Of the usual number of witnesses,
John Johnson. q convicted murderer,
paid the penalty of double murder.
Johnson passed fairly comfortable
night and was III good spirits when the
prison chaplain came to give him the
last consolation of the church. He has
been all along entirely careless of his
fate and he even asked the warden why
he did not hurry up the affair.
There was no movement or indica-
ton of life from the instant the current
was applied, and it was one of the
most successful executions ever held.
The body was removed to the autopsy
room and the usual autopsy required
by law was made. There were no un-
usual results discernible.
One day last April, while working in
the broom shop in the prison, Johnson
became unruly, and when reprimanded
by keeper he grabbed cutting knife
and ran amuck. He succeeded in kill
ing two men, both of them convicts,
and severely wounded three others.
His case was taken up to the upper
courts and he was of course convicted.

How To Avoid wrinkles.

II you have any desire to avoid wrin-
kles. care not only for your skin, but your
nerves; control your temper and do not
try to have too expressive and viva
cious countenance. Sleep nine hours a
night and an hour a day. Decline to
worry. Wear smoked glasses instead Of
scowling fercely at the sunlight and the
water. Refuse to try to distinguish
things afar off. Wash your face in warm
water with pure soap once day and rub
it softly with flannel after washing.
Feed it with pure, cold cream. Don't be
afraid OF an occasional sunburn. 1t
smooths the face wonderfully. But,
above all, be emotionless.
