After a Quarter of a Century.

For more than a quarter of a century
the face of Charlotte, once empress Of
Mexico has not been seen by the world.
Her alienation has lasted during all that
space of European history and lasts yet,
but glimpse of that secluded face was
given the other day, not to the great world
indeed, but to the villagers living in tho
neighborhood of her place of retreat. Ev
cry year a procession is held at this timo
of year from the village to the park, and
benediction is given at temporary altar
under the windows of the empress apart
ments. This year she appeared at her bal
cony, knelt and followed all the prayers.
Witnesses relate that, though she never
lifted her eyes from her prayer book, the
expression of her face was unmistakable,
and its look of serenity was unclouded.

"Disfigured
For Life"

Is the despairing cry of thousands
afflicted with
UnSightly skin diseases.
Do you realize what this diSfigura-
ton means to sensitive souls?
1t means isolation, SecluSion.
1t is a bar to social and business success.
Do you wonder that despair selzeS
upon these sufferers when
Doctors fail,
Standard remedies fail,
And nostrums prove worse than use
leSsl
Skin diseases are most obstinate TO
cure or even relieve.
1t is an easy matter to claim to cure
them, but quite another thing to
do so.
CUTICURA REMEDIES
Have earned the right to be called
Skin Specifics,
Because for years they have met
with most remarkable success.
There are cases that they cannot cure,
but they are few indeed.
1t is no long -drawn-out, expensive
experiment.
25c. invested in a cake of
CUTICURA SOAP
Will prove more convincing than
a page of advertisement.
In short
CUTICURA works wonders,
And its cures are simply marvellous.

Popular Songs and Their Authors.

1t is a curious fact that very often the
authorship of songs that take hold of tho
popular heart soon sinks into obscurity.
Who remembers, for instance, that tho old
song, I'm Sitting ON the Style, Mary
was written by Lady Duffcrin? How many
of us know the name of tho writer of 1.-The
Girl I Left Behind Me- or of .'Katy's
Lettcr?''
Och. girls, did you ever hear
wrote my love q letter,
And, although he cannot read,
Thought twas alEthe better,
For why should he be puzzled
With spellin in the matter
When the m'anin was SO plain?
I loved him faithfully,
And he knows it-oh, he knows it
Without one word from me.

A Queer Anatomical Proceeding.

1t is told that anatomists when they
wish to separate the bones of o skull
sometimes resort to very peculiar pro-
cedure. They fill the skull with small
beans and place 1t in a vessel of water.
The beans swell and rend the skull apart
at the sutures. The well known German
Psychologist, Grehaut, measures the force
which the beans are capable of exerting
under these conditions, and found that it
indicated five atmespheres, equal to the
average pressure in the boiler of q steam

War Opened on the Standard Oil
Company.
LABOR LEADERS WANT ACTION
Authorities Asked to Proceed
Against the Organization.
TILE ALLEGATIONS MADE

ALBANY. N. Y. May 8.-Attorney Gen.
eral Hancock gave a hearing today on the
application Of the Central Labor Union and
various other trade organizations of New
York city for him to begin proceedings in
the supreme court for the dissolution Of
the Standard Oil Company of New York
Thou as Crane appeared for the applicants
and Joseph H. Choate for the oil company
The dissolution Is asked for on the grounds
that the corporation Is a party to a trust
existing for unlawful purposes. for creating
a monopoly for the sale of Oil. Mr.. Crane
charged that the company had violated the
act under which 1t was created. 1t had
violated its charter, irasmuch as 1t had
suspended its legitimate business during
the past year.
He gave history Of the creation
of the Standard Oil trust; of the
business and financial affairs Of all cor
porations. companies and individuals COM
posing said trust were placed under the ju-
risdictfon of board Of trustees. and said
that such an agreement was contrary to
the laws Of New York state for two rea-
sons VIZ, 1t created a monopoly and estab-
ished a copartnership among corporations
both or which are against public policy. Its
efforts are evident. The price of petroleum
has been greatly increased. Oil exported by
the corporations sells in Europe for one
third the cost in New York city. The state
OF Ohio, through Its supreme court. has held
that a similar corporation inOhio is against
the law. being a party to the above speci-
fled agreement. and ordered that said cor
poration be dissolved if 1t did not withdraw
from the said agreement
Mr.. Choate denied each of the allegations
and declared that the instigator of the pro-
ceedings was Geo. Rice, an individual OIL
refner Of Ohio, who has spent years in
fighting the Standard Oil trust. and that the
labor organizations are simply figureheads
In these proceedings.
