About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large As silver dollar
the flesh Seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
In fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. l concluded

a box Of CUfIoURA, a cake OF CrTIcURA SOAP,
and bottle of CUTIcuBA BrsoLyKsr. washed
the effected parts with the CvTiovRA SOAP,
taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied
CuTfCURA. noticed change for the better IN
the appearance OF tho eruptions In twenty-four
hours. I continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, In fact perfect cure, az have not
seen any indications OF any eruption OF breaking

Date Of the Execution Of Barber and
Pinkney.

Daso OF the Execution OF Barber and
Pinkney.
Daniel Barber and William Pinkney. the two
coiored men convicted of the murder Of Francis
NJ. Bowie of Prince Georges county, Nd, will be
hanged together in the Jail at Marlboro before
p. m. on June 80. Gov. Brown signed their
death warrant yesterday.
Barber and Pinkney now occupy cells Nos. 4
and on the second floor Of the jail in Marlboro,
says the Baltimore american. Both cells
front on Main street and the criminals can be
distinctly seen from the outside as they stand
in the center Of their quarters
Barber yesterday said he was more than salts
fed now that his trial was over. and felt as
happy as he did "two weeks before the murder"
He still holds out that he was not present when
the murder was committed and says he feels
sure that ''some one will squeal before long"
The men receive daily attendance from their
spiritual advisers and seem to be in earnest in
their preparations for the end. 1t is said hopes
are still thrown out to Pinkney that his coun-
sci will take his case to the court Of appeals on
the exception Of severance of the cases made
by the state. and perhaps q stay Of execution
will be necessary.
A letter recently received by Pinkney, con-
tanning an account Of the appeal, has SO elated
him that in the excess Of his Joy he calls to his
luck now awaiting him.
The two men are chained to the middle Of the
floors OF their cells to the foot. They complain
Of the weight Of the irons, and now old rags
and pieces Of clothing are twisted around the
manacles to keep them from bruising the flesh
around the ankles. Though confined close
together they cannot each other. but at
intervals they keep up q parley and tell how
they are getting along. Pinkney, although he
said at the trial that he could not read, is daily
occupied reading his Bible. and paper is some
times seen in his hands.
The scene Of the murder has been changed
by the pillow, and all traces Of footprints and
blood have been turned under the sod. The
daily gathering of curious visitors prompted
the blowing Of the field, and hands are now
daily at work planting the spring crop.
In the cell adjoining that Of the murderers is
still to be seen about 200 pounds of bacon,
consisting of hams. shoulders and sides. which
were taken from the house Of Barber in Feb
ruary. and retained in the custody of the
sheriff until the April term Of court. 1t is
now fully admitted that Pinckney the man
who set fire to Mr.. Bowies house in December
last.

He still refused. And We argued He was

just what said. but he finally said:
"Oh. you American women. l never saw such
women. You make me lose all patience and
you get your way. Come with me and YOU
shall see.''
The first we saw were some married women.
Their faces were covered with some kind Of a
white cloth. with only the eyes showing One
of them was nursing baby about nine months
old. The baby had jewels in its ears and coins
tied to its hair.
The manager left the room minute and
made them understand that l wanted to see
their faces. They unhesitatingly removed the
veil. One of them was really beautiful The

very much incensed because their wives were

DAYS they were at sea. kept his wife down be-
tween decks. and never allowed her breath of
fresh air. he was so insanely jealous of her. 1t

was not happy-looking woman. The sad ex-
