chilling atmosphere, which compelled
them to go through various physical feats
which wonld have done credit to contor-
tionists. The prisoners who were whipped
by Sheriff ellis had a comparatively easy
time of it.
The lashes were very light and none of
the culprits experienced the least bit Of
discomfort while the blows were being
administered TO their naked backs.
Saturday week was the day set apart for
the iagellation of the prisoners, but in
view of the fact that the weather was
bitter cold and some of the culprits might
suffer from the corporal punishment adj
miDistered during the blizzard, Judge
Marvel postponed the whippings until
Saturday.

THE PIPE FACTORY.
The Local Corn-cob Establishment Ex-
... tending Its business.

A reporter of THE GAZETTE visited the
plant Of the American Corn.cob Pipe Co.,
at No. 8l7 Lancaster avenue, last Friday
afternoon, and found a busy plant in
operation. The company has capacity
of about 400 gross of these pipes week
and manufactures them into almost every
conceivable shape from the crude raw
materials. The business of the firm
extends all over the country, and there are
agents in all the large cities and several
travelling men handling the goods. A
trade has also been established in Australia
and the management Is thinking of making
an effort to get the goods introduced in
Great Britain and Europe
There are other concerns in the country
manufacturing corn-cob pipes, but the
product of the local firm is said to be the
best on the market.
The corn-cob pipe, the manager says, is
becoming very popular, aud the retail
sales in the large cities are increasing.
The Wilmington firm does not have any
thing to do withtthe rc;ail business, but
places the entire output into the hands of
wholesalers who have large retail trade
established. There is y probability that
the manager will start out man from the
works here whose business it will be to
canvass the larger cities and establish more
apencies,

way for erysipelas, without benefit. Her
hand had become mass of putritid flesh,
SPARED of. At this critical time Mrs.
Myers sought the advice of DIR. David
Kennedy, discoverer of Favorite Remedy.
Dr. Kennedy found it impossible to save
the hand, so he amputated the same, then
gave her Favorite Remedy, which drove
the poisonous disease out of her system,
cleansed the blood, thus saving her life.
in the development of erysipelas, Mrs.
Myers would have saved her hand. The
worst cases of eczema, salt rheum and
scrofula, yield to Favorite Remedy.
