Thus FIR 10 Du Pont Of the famous
gunpowder making family of Delaware
has ever been false 70 the family law Of
bravery, while more than one has given
his life in oheyingit. One Saturday even
ing in the summer of 1857 Alexis L Du
Pont. son of Eleuthere, was in one of the
mixing rooms with some Of his men, try
ing to shift heavy yellow pine box As
they slid the box along the floor, the
friction caused a spark TO strike, and
instantly the room was ablaze- Fortu-
nately most Of the gunpowder had been
taken ont. it being the end Of the week,

sprinkled with it TO cause a sharp puff.
which set the mems clothes ON fire.
Alexis, realizing the danger instantly.
and being himself IN flames, called TO
the men TO follow him, and running ont
of the building threw himself into the
mill race. The others did likewise, and
thus, for the moment, ali were safe. But
Alexis, turning toward the mills as he
swan, saw that sparks from the burning
mixing room were falling in showers on
the roof of the press and cutting mill,
which contained, as he knew, several
tons of powder In spite of the appeals
of tho men, he rushed back TO the point
of danger, calling out as he ran, Now,
boys, pass me buckets of water.
Then he climbed fearlessly upon the
roof. which was now nearly burned
through--for in those days the roofs
were made of pitch and cement-and be-
gan fighting the flames as best he could.
Inspired by his courage. the workmen
rallied with will at the bucket line,
but before they had got fairly started
the explosion came, blowing Alexis Du
Point with fearful force against one Of
the drying stands, crushing his ribs into
his lungs, and injuring him so that he
died in great agony few hours later

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.
Tie Talks About tn. Treatment OF OIL
Sores and Ulcers.

lie Talks About the Treatment OF Old
Sores and Ulcers.
The slowness which characterizes the
healing of ulcers has sometimes led to the
belief that they are incurable. Another
popular notion is that their cure is detri-
mental to the health of the patient. With
equal propriety we might say that it is
dangerous to cure diarrhoea, dysentery,
consumption or cancer. These erroneous
impressions cause many people to suffer
for years and even a lifetime without re-
lief. A few words as to the causes, results
and treatment of these painful ailments
will not be wanting in interest to news
paper readers.
The various species of ulcers are merely
notifications of one form of chronic sores.
The sufferer may assert that he enjoys ex-
cellent health, but, IL questioned closely,
1t will be found that the sore irritates him
and that there is sufficient constitutional
disturbance to prevent the healing powers
of nature from asserting itself and effect
ing a cure. The cure Of these ulcers is
therefore necessarily slow, and any one
expecting to obtain Immediate relief will
be disappointed. Constitutional treatment
Is of the utmost Importance.
The bowels should be kept in perfect
order; If constipated, the ulcer will be
irritated. In this case, take two teaspoon
fuls of compound licorice powder in a half
glass of warm water at bed time. If the
patient suffers from nervousness, use bro
midc of soda every three hours in doses of
forty grains until relieved. The patient
should also see that the blood is purified,
and digestive organs in good condition.
Elixir Of lactopeptine, with iron, quinine
and strychnine, will be found excellent to
tone up the system.
For local application nothing is superior
to Quratol. 1t is soothing, it destroys pu-
trefaction of the flesh and restores the tis-
sues to healthy condition. A lotion of
one part of Quratol to six parts of water
should be applied on handages of absorbent
gauze or cotton. The sore should be COW
cred so as TO effectually exclude the light
and air, and the handages kept wet with
the lotion, Scabs and hardened dead flesh
should be removed, that the healing may
be gradual and from the bottom to insure
permanency. This preparation can be
found at all drug stores and general stores
In this section, and Is sold at 30 cents a
bottle.

Interfering with Natural Selection.

For countless ages hand to hand com
bat has been the means Of selecting the
most hardy aud robust individuals to
perpetuate their race. Now, however,
the magazine rifle and smoleless powder
will probably exercise potent influence
in the reverse direction. Not only is the
smallest and most insignificant individ-
ual now capable of infiictiDg as much
injury upon the foe as the most robust,
but he offers much smaller target &c
his adversary, and has therefore a better
chance of escape. Westminster Review.

THE DOOMED MEN.
The Scaffold for the Execution Of Vial
pandO and Chavez Completed
Former will Be Hanged First
Visitors to the Jail.

The scaffold, upon which Jesus Vial
pando and Feliciano Chavez will to-
morrow forenoon expiate the awful crime
of numbering and burning Tomas Mar
tinez, on the Goth of last January, is CON-
pleted and it will be carefully guarded
against incendiaries until after it has &C.
com plished it's dreadful mission.
As previously reported in these col
umns, the grim structure is located in the
wide arroyo north of the gas works and
about half mile north of the plaza.
Vialpando will be taken out of the jail
and to the place of execution about 9
o'clock in the morning and will be hanged
during the ensuing hour. Chavez will be
taken from the Jail about Z O'Clock and
will be executed after he completes the
statement he has asked the privilege OF
making from the gallows. He has asked
for an hour, but it is not probable that
he will talk that long.
The county Jail, where the condemned
men are confined, is the center of interest
Seven hundred and sixty-fve persons
visited the place and saw the murderers
yesterday afternoon and probably still
larger number will have visited the place
to day before the doors are finally closed
ViaIpando has entirely broken down
and it is not improbable that he will have
to be carried to the platform. Chavez
appears comparatively cool and resigned
to his fate.

They are Missed.

Something akin to an "aching void"
has been noticeable hereabouts since
Messrs. Harry King and Percy Lamor-
eux betook themselves from out midst
and hied away to their official desks at
the national capital. During their re-
cent vacation of month, which these
gentlemen spent in the Rocky Mountains,
they made friendships which time will
never serve to efface from memory's
tablet. Companlonable in the fullest
sense of the term, possessing all the
higher traits of good-fellowship, the
visit of these amiable gentlemen has had
the effect of imparting fresh sest to
life among those who met and entertained
them while here.
Their return next year is already looked
forward to with feelings of delightful an
ticipation. They went home expressing
surprise and qualification over the
character and up to dateness of the men
they met in public and private life here,
and Prof. King said he proposed, as an
educational proposition, to organize
next year an excursion of the heads of
official departments in Washington and
bring them ont that they may learn some
thing of the glories of their country and
true western hospitality as dispensed in
the Land Of Sunshine.

Santa Ee Leads,

Santa Fe is to be congratulated on
having the first sanitarium for consump-
tives to be established in New Mexico.
This is something which has long been
needed, and will, no doubt, be the fore
runner of many similar institutions.
Santa Fe's good fortune consisted of hav-
ing man, E. 7. Webber, who owned
suitable property = The Claire hotel
which he wisely concluded to use for that
purpose. The institution has been named
"The Paquin-Crosson Sanitarium," DR..
Francis Crosson being the medical d.
rector. and E. T. Webber, the business
manager. Already they have gotten out
circulars addressed to the medical fra
ternity of the United States, and that
their limited accommodations will soon
be exhausted, scarcely admits of doubt.
