"Disfigured
For Life"

Is the despairing cry of thousands
afflicted with
UnSightly skin diseases.
Do you realize what this distSura-
ton means to sensitive souls?
Ii 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
leSS'
Skin diseases are most obstinate to
cure or even relieve.
1t is an easy matter to claim 10 cure
them, but quite another thing to
do so.
CUTlCURA 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-o out, expensive
experiment

CUTlCURA SOAP
Will prove more convincing than

In short
CUTlCURA works wonders,
And its cures are simply marvellous.

The scene at the police station remains
unchanged. The officers confined there are

the quarentined men is brought from a
restaurant by messenger boy and

officers then cautiously make their APP

A quarantine of uncertain duration has

SENTIMENT IN KENTUCKY.
Comment of the Louisville Press
Feeling at Lexington.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 14.The Courier
Journal will say tomorrow: 1.-The jury
in the Notwithstanding case has
brought in its verdict. The trial, which
for weeks has crowded the court room
with the morbid and the prurient, and
which has poured such vapors of pollution
throughout the land, is over. Now, let it
pass from the public mind. The press has
done more than it's legitimate duty in re-
porting the proceedings. Many newspapers
have seized the opportunity to pander to
the depraved and the vicious by adding to
the functions of the journalist those of
the scavenger. 1t is to be hoped now that
even this element of the press, which has
done so much to discredit self-respecting
journalism, will find it no longer profitable
to pursue this foul matter. Let it be left
to the court records, and let us trust to
the Wholesome sunshine OF American man
hood and womanhood to drive out the
poisonous germs with which the moral at
mosphere has been contaminated"
The Commercial will say: THE verdict in
the Pollard-Breckinridge case was not sur
prising What continues to be the subject
of establishment is that Colonel Breckin-
ridge did not allow the case to go by de-
fault. The verdict probably indicates the
jury's disapproval of Colonel Breckinridge's
conduct and of Mr.. Thompson's cynical
speech more than ii does their sympathy
with Miss Pollard or the value they put on
a contract of marriage between persons in
such relations to each other as the plaintiff
dispatch from Frankfort KY, says:
THE people of this section watched with
interest, unsurpassed in its intensity, for
the verdict in the Pollard Breckenridge
trial. The Capitol appeared in an extra is
sue a few minutes after the news was re-
ceived from Washington, and in half an
hour every man and nearly every woman in
the city had heard of and were discussing
the verdict. But one person in the whole
town has been heard to say that the plain
tiff should not have received anything
Breckinridge's friends doing very lit
tie talking. The consensus of opinion
among the many who openly express any
is that the verdict is a just one and that
it will be folly for him TO even think Of
appearing in this district as a candidate"
4 dispatch from Paris. Ky: The verdict
in the neutrality-suspicious. case is being
thoroughly discussed here tonight. The
verdict is a surprise to the friends of Col
Breckenridge. They confidently expected a
hung jury His opponents are jubilant. A
petition asking Breckinridge to open his
canvass here on the first Monday in May
was passed around to-day for signatures
but did not receive many signers. His
friends very quiet tonight and do not
want to talk.

GAVE THEM A CHASE
The Delirious Smallpox Patient
Escapes from His Tent.
No Hope for Him-Contracted the Dis
ease in ChicagO-The POlice-Sta-
ton Quarantine Continued.

1t was definitely settled yesterday that
Major Higgins is suffering with small
pox. DR.. Poucher Of the City Hospital,
who is personally attending Higgins, made
that statement yesterday morning. Dr.
Wagner investigated Higgins's condition
late in the afternoon and found that it was
very serious. Re stated that the man was
suffering with the worst stages of the dis
ease, and would in all probability not re-
cover. DIR. Ferguson, together with his as
sistant, DR.. Poucher, learned from Hig-
ginss own lips yesterday that he had been
in Chicago about two months ago. HiS-
gins stated that he had boarded with FAM
lily, several members of whom were Ill
with the disease. He went from Chicago TO
St. Louis sand thence to Vincennes. While
at the latter place he began to feel the
symptoms of the approaching disease. He
then came to this city, with the present
result DR.. Poucher also stated that Hig-
ginss recovery is doubtful The colored
people usually have the worst form of the
disease and Higgins is afflicted in that
manner He is delirious at times and yes
terday while in that condition, eluded the
watchfulness of DR.. Poucher and escaped
from his tent. After a lively chase he was
captured and replaced in the tent, and 1t
was found necessary TO put him in a
straight jacket to keep him from again at
tempting TO escape.
