Contagious Blood Poison has been ape

It is the one disease that physicians can

HANGED OVER EIGHTY.
George Maledon Will Retire from His
Public Career.

George Maledon, champion hang
man OF the world, with a record of
.88 executions to his credit, will
retire from his public career and
live the rest of his life on a farm
which he has purchased with his
savings, says a Fort Smith (Ark.)
correspondent of the New York
World.
Maledon has been the official
hangman of the United States
court here for 20 years and he took
intense pride in the neatnesS with
which he performed the duties con-
nected with his office.
When an execution was to take
place Maledon always found out the
exact weight of the man. After
that there was no guesswork By a
rule known only to himself he
adapted the weights to a nicely.
On the morning of the day of the
hanging he would always rise early
and, after testing the gallows, pro-
ceeded to put them in perfect order.
The ropes were CREASED, the pulleys
and trap adjusted and oiled and the
moose carefully adjusted and tried.
1t made no difference whether one,
two or ten men were to be executed,
the same careful preparation was
made in each case.
There was nothing haru-hearted
in the way the work was done. A
favorite remark of his to a doomed
man was "Oh, come on, now; it's
nothing at all. You won't feel it
and I'll have it all over in a jiffy.
He never failed to offer the prisoner
a chew of tobacco just beforeuthe
clergyman began the customary
prayer.

and right. Clinch followed, Maher
tented and Fitz led with his right, but
Maher landed both right and left on

chin. Maher measured his length on the
floor. his head striking the canvas with
great force He yainly attempted to
arise but could not do more than raise
his hand.
The seconds called on Maher to get
up, but he failed to respond and sank
back to the canvas. Maher vainly tried
to arise. The fatal tenth second was
counted. Maher was declared out and
Fitzsimmons declared the victor after
one minute and thirty-fve seconds of
ra Their lively fighting.
Fitzsmmons' admirers cheered him to
the echo and Makers seconds carried
the defeated Irishman to his corner. 1t
was several minutes before he realized
what had happened to him and Fitz>
simmons walked over TO his corner and
shook him by the hand. FitZsimmons
also shook hands with Quinn and the
seconds in Peters corner.

Maher. the Australian showed no
marks of injury and appeared as fresh
as at the opening of .hostlities.
Maher showed no signs of punishment
except a slight break in the skin just
above the point of the left chin where
Fitzsimmons' master stroke had landed.

Love and Labor.

Love lives to labor; 1t lives to give
itself away There is no such thing as
indolent love. Look in your heart and
see if this is not true. II you love any
one truly and deeply, the cry of your
heart is to spend and be spent in the
loved ones service.
Love would die if It could not benefit.
It's keenest suffering is met when 1t
finds itself unable to assist.
What man could see the woman ne
loves lack anything, and be unable TO
give it to her. and not suffer?
"N-hy love makes one slave! 1t tolls
night and day, refusing all wages and
all reward save the smile Of the one
INTO whom it IS bound, in whose SER
vice it finds It's delight, at whose feet
If alone discovers it's heaven.
There is 40 danger that language can
be too strong OF too fervently used to
portray tic services of love.
sBy Graz die and couch, by sick bed and
coffin. III hut and palace, the ministries
of love are being wrought. The eyes OF
NIL behold them: tie hearts Of all are
moved by the spectacle.

Is Now Champion Heavyweight.
''Fitz" IL a cilahapion heavyweight pugil-
list as web as champion in the middle
weight class. He earned this title today
by his defeat of Peter Maher. The vie
tory of the Amerlcanized Australian
stamps FitzSimmons as the greatest of
the latter-day prize. fighters.
His superiority in agility and ring gem
eralship was fully demonstrated. These
qualities won hin, the fight.
Makers friends all along claimed he
would show q great improvement over
the form he displayed when he met Eitz-
simom~s before and the result was Il
great disappointment TO them. E'itz S
defeat of Maher sharply demonstrates
that the, lanly pugilist is ia a class pc
culiarly his own.
There are any number who think F'itz
would make shorter work of Jim Cor
bett now than he did of Peter Maher in
their first contest. Rather than being
stale and old, he was never better than
at present.
