Abram |. Eckert was to be hanged

Monday obtained for him Il respite
until October s. 1t is understood that
at the next meeting of the board of
pardon new evidence will be presented
in the interest of the communication of
the death penalty for the prisoner to
life Imprisonment. Mr.. Parrish of
WilkeSbarre, made Il strong appeal for
reprieve for the murderer. The gov
ernor was informed of it and decided
that it should be issued. 1t is unusual
to grant rcsptcs so long as that granted
to Eckert, but as the time between this
and the next meeting of the board of

presented and as the next meeting will
not be held before September post
poncment until the new date fixed for
the hanging was rendered necessary
in order that his case might be fully
heard
When the sheriff notified the prisoner
Eckert fell upon his knees and offered
up a prayer for the governor. The
doomed man wept bitterly and said he
was oyerjoyed to know that he could see
his wife and children for longer time.

A NEW DISCOVERY
BY the SHAKERS.

For more than a hundred years the Mount Leb-
medical plants, and sought to extract from them
their healing essences. Their labor has not been
spent in vain. They have made a discovery that
VIII prove blessing to mankind. 1t consists of a
cordial that caases immediate relief in cases of
indigestion The in pcrtance Of this discovery will
be apparent when we realize that nearly nine
tenths OF our suffering caused by dyspepsia or
indigestion Nearly every person you meet has this
digestive tro BILE in Of its varied forms-sick
headache distress after cating pain and fulness i'm
the chest after eating, palpitation Of the heart,
etc. are but symptoms u indigestion. To relieve
these suferhgs has been the study of the Shakers,
and they have succeeded. The reason the Shaker
Digestive Cordial has such an immediate and
salutary effect is that 1t causes the food eaten to
be digested, for 1t is undigcsted food that
the distress. The Cordial causes the food to be
dgested before there is time for It to ferment and
sour on the stomach. When the food is 90 d.
gested IT gives strength and vigor to the feeble
body, makes on feel bright and cheerful, and
makes one gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is prompt in its action
that the very first dose will have n perceptibly
favorable result. It gives immediate relief.
Every druggist has been sent a supply Of our
h;Id dsome D'nkey Puzzle Books, and a copy may
he had for the asking. 1t tells all about the Cor
dial. as well as Laxol. the new castor Oil.
Try twenty-fve-cent bottle Of Digestive Cordial
and see what 1t will do for You.

THE DIR. SHERMAN MEMORIAL.
The Choral Society Formally Deter

The Choral Society Formally Deter
mines to Have u Service.
At the regular weekly rehearsal of the
Choral Society last evening the proposition
to hold a memorial service for the late DR..
H. c. Sherman, one of the former nusi-
cal directors of the society, took definite
form, and the members decided that they
would heartily cooperate in such a memor-
ial. President Paul stated to the members
what plans had been tentatively arranged
by the board of managers The service, he
said, would probably be held after the mid
die Of November in the Congregational
Church. 1t was the intention to have the
Choral Society render two or three chorus
numbers appropriate to the occasion, and,
in addition, one of the male chorus clubs
of which DR.. Sherman was the director
would also be invited to participate. Pos
sibiy there would be also a vocal solo and
an organ number by associates of the late
musician, and some one of DR.. Sherml In s
close friends would be invited to deliver a
eulogy.
After the society adjourned a sseecial
meeting Of the board of managers was
memorial. and the committee appointed
last week, was continued and given au-
thority to have entire charge of the pro-
gram and details. 1t Is desired that all
former members of the Choral Society who
are interested In tho service, and especially
those vino were members during the years
that DIR. Sherman was the society's musical
director, shall join with the organiza ton
for this particular occasion. Two or three
Of the regular rehearsal evenings will be

A Hinged Concrete bridge.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A hinged concrete bridge has been con-
structed across the Danube river, connect
ing the village of Inxigkofen with its rail-
way station on the opposite side Of the
stream. The bridge is a novelty. It
was designed and built under the SUPER
vision of Max Leibbrand, a wellknown
German engineer. The traffic between the
two points to be connected being very
small the appropriation had been put at
the lowest possible limit, and 1t was neces-
sary to observe the greatest economy in
deciding upon the kind of structure and
the materials to be used In designing the
structure. The condition of the river and
river bed was not suitable for the use Of
intermediate piers, but the presence Of
solid rock on the right bank Of the river
and a hard gravel on the left favored the
adoption Of an arch.
AS there were no stone quarries in the
vicinity, while factory producing most
excellent cement was located within a
short distance, 1t was decided to build the
arch Of concrete. Comparative estimates
than either a Monfer arch or one of iron
alone, or of cement blocks. An important
feature of the design Is the placing of open
cast iron links or joints at the crown and
at the abutments. The arch hinged in this
manner Is statically determinate, and may
be nationally and economically computed: :
moreover, any danger through settlement
eliminated, as are also any secondary
strains due to changes in temperature or to
variations In the vertical loading, to which
the arch can freely accommodate itself.

The Telegraph Of the Desert.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
YES" said Joseph Donner, supsrintend.
ent of telegraph for the Southern Pacific
railroad, telegraph poles along the line
have hard time. Particularly is this SO
out west. where the poles are costly and
stations are few and far between. Now,
out in the Arizona desert the poles are
played the deuce with generally. There is
a sort of woodpecker that picks the posts
absolutely to pieces, thinking there may
be insects inside Of the wood. They hear
the humming and haven't sense enough to
know what causes it. Then near the hills
the black bears imagine that each role
contains swarm of bees, and they climb
to the top and chew the glass insuiators
that create the most havoc. When the
winds blow strongly the sand is drffted at
a rapid rate and the grains cut away the
wood at q fearful rate. 1t was q common
thing to have an oak pole worn to a shaw
ing in days time, while 1 have seen
poles just ground to the surface of the
earth during q single storm. Things got
so bad out there that the company decided
to substitute steel poles for the oak and
cedar. but that didn't remedy the evil at
all. The sand just wore away the metal
on each side of the pole until the center
was as sharp as razor, and all the In
dians in the country used to shave them
selves on the edge. We finally managed to
fix things. Just painted the poles with
soft pitch. The pitch caught the sand, and
now every pole is about two feet thick and
solid as q rock

He Has a Visitor Who Seeks Blood
but Puts Hin OF With Corn Juice.
| From the Chicago Times Herald
When Opie Read took charge of the Lit
tie Rock Gazette many years ego he was
| bitterly attacked by a rival paper i'm the
| neighboring town, Camden, Ark. He lore
this abuse in silence for several weeks, but
finally printed this paragraph at the head
| of the editorial jottings:"
when Jim Simmons first settled in Cam
| den, years ago, he was poo, truthful and
honest. He is still pocr."
The next day a tall, gaunt stranger
alighted from the evening train and ac-
| costed Opie, who chanced to be at the de-
| pot. 'watchin' of the train get in
DO You live here?" he queried.
Il do,'' was the answer.
Come and have drink then; 1 want 10
talk to you"
The two men adjourned to a wet goods
store near by. and after emptying their
glasses a few times the visitor casually re-
| marked:
i've got to shoot a man in this town."
''So?" said Read, with an infection which
asked for more.
"Yep-got to do it," continued the man
hunter. know anything about a paper
here called the Gayzette?"
Say, let's have another drink" hastily
| interrosed Opie. They did, and several
other drinks followed.
Now, where's the Gayzette office ?''
finally inquired the man from Camden. Il
want you to go along and see that / get
fair play. All you've got to do is to point
out the coyote that edits 1t, and stand back
out of range
Together they started uptown toward the
newspaper office. The visitor never reach
ed 1t; there were too many saloons along
the route. And, strangest of all. Opie sew
eral times lost his bearings and took his
pelfgerent protege through unnecessary
detours and past more grog shops than the
Camden editor ever had seen before An
hour later the man who wanted gore was
sleeping Off an alcoholic trance in a gar
Dage box in an alley. He had lost his gun
and the editor Of the Gazette had secured a
new paper weight. 1t is unnecessary to
aod, perhaps, that Opie was not shot that [
night. 1t is no disparagement to him. how
ever, to admit that he was about half shot.

Make Your Own ButtermiII<,

From the Atlanta Constitution.
An ingenious housekeeper has hit upon a
novel way of procuring delicious buttermilk
without the labor Of churning. The milk
is permitted to sour and partially skinned
so as to allow enough cream to render 1t
rich. 1t can be taken from the ice box,
provided you wish it cold, and simply beat
1t few moments with an egg beater Zone
that turns with a handle is preferable),
and you have as fine buttermiIk as can be
made under any process. There are so
many invalfds who crave it, and yet it is
often an impossibility to get it pure and
rich. 1t is usually diluted with water and
often there are SO many Jumps of butter
floating through 1t that 1t is not very in
viting, but by this mode any one who can
get any amount of milk, no matter how
small, can manufacture in a few moments
drink hit for the gods. Try 1t and see how
quickly this delightful drink can be had
