Here is case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the fortunes
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. ]. y. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing al 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
when my son, Will, was six years
old. a small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began 10 grow. II
gave him a great deal OF pain, aud con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, We consented,
and they cut down TO the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but thought It was the
only hope for my boy. Before great
while the cancer returned, and began TO
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies without relief. and finally upon the
advice Of a friend, decided TO try ; 5. ).

Edward Langtry, After CO.
ing Insane, Dies
in Misery.

LONDON, Oct. BACKWARD
Langtry, the husband OF Lily
Langtry, died last night at the
insane asylum at Chester. TO
which he was recently commit
ted by a magistrate.
Thine is some mystery as 10
the circumstances which led 10
the incarceration Of the former
husband of Mrs. Langtry in an
insane asylum. and to his suisse
quent death. He was found wan
dering in a demented condition
along the railroad tracks mar
Chester. England. on October
last. with his face and head bat
tered and his body covered with
bruises. So far as could be made
out from his incoherent utter
ances. IL. sustained his injuries
by falling down a companion
ladder while crossing from King
ston to Holyhead. on the mail
boat. He left Cork for London
on Saturday. October 2. He was
in perfect health and rational.
There is reason to believe that
the injuries which he sustained
were responsible for his insanity.
While Mrs. Langtry obtained
a divorce from him many years
ago in California, th.Te can be
no question that the leath Of
Langtry VIII prevent certain I'M
pleasant social compiled lions
which might have followed her
marriage to Prince Louis Ester
haZy. which il is announced size
Is about 10 contract. The prince
is a Catholic and Austria IS a
Catholic country. Civil divorces
are not recognized by that
church. nor by Austrian society,
which takes it's tone from the
church. IL Mrs. Langtry had
contracted marriage with
Prince Esterhazy during the life
time Of her divorced husband,
she would never have been .ec-
ogniZed socially as tina Princess
EsterhaZy.

at ono time consldered Q slight not to %
''patronized' by Beau Hickman, and the
man who refused to humor his pretensions
was accounted stingy. Occasionally his
victims would pretend to protest again his
frequent assessments or complain Of ex-
.cessive charges. Once he presented his
@'bill" to . wealthy southern gentleman,
a member OF congress, who courteously in
tim ated that he thought the "quarteraqe''

beau a ssnmed the diRnif1ed attitude of a

and, sub, knowing that am no ID

to compr, II Mise myself by entertaining

This sort Of thing came to q natural
death in tia g, and then the beau, still a
frequenter OF hotels and saloons. became
. teller of sta ries for consideration. He
was an ingeD: ious story teller and q good
mimic. At u le conclusion Of q yarn, re-

would startle hs m by saying, Gan right,

would be seized with blank amazement
and look quizzic vi, at the beau as he paid

the grins Of the n en present, who had seen

A DEEP MYSTERY SOLVED.

A FraaH emit Torn From . Telegraph Blank
Furnishes tho Only Clew.
What at first promised to be an unsolva-
BILE suicide mystery was untangled in New
York city by means of q fragment torn
from postal telegraph message blank
found on the corpse. One morning re-
Gently q Waterman discovered the body of
q woman floating in the Central park res
ervoir. She had evidently committed sui.
eide, as every mark by which she might be
identified had been removed from her cloth
ing. In her pockets were several notes,
all signed with the same fictitious name,
"Titania."
The clew which ultimately led to her
positive identity was a scrap torn from a
telegraph blank in which wasscarefully
wrapped a single violet. The only marks
upon the paper were the number "59''
and the check letters of the sending and
receiving operators. When Superintend-
emit Bradley Of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany received the paper from the coroner,
he Immediately set seven men at work to
trace the telegram. They began their
task first upon the check marks. These
were much faded by the action of the
water, but that of the receiving operator
was made out, with the aid of q magnify
ing glass, to be "Tb." This is an uncom-
mon signature, and there is an operator
in the main Office who uses 1t.

A New and Hopeful EXPERIENCES
In Prison Reform.
ExC0URAGEHENT FOR CONvICrs,

An innovation in tho shape of change
in prison uniform will shortly take place
In the Kansas state penitentiary at Lam
sing. The time honored stripes, 90 long
associated with prisons as the insignia of
Q convict, will give place to suit Of cadet
gray. In announcing the change Warden
lands told the prisoners that the change
would be made on July 4, and that IL
would Affect those whose records were good
up to that time. Should any of them dis
regard the rules and regulations Of the in
stftution sufficiently to merit . punish
ment they would continue to wear tho
stripes and be an object Of special observa-
ton to all visitors and to their fellows.
II believe the change will have bene-
dc1al results" said Warden Lands to q
Chicago Record correspondent. "When I
made the announcement to the men of the
proposed change, they seemed highly de-
lighted with the prospect. Since that time
I have observed a difference in the de-
meanor Of the prisoners, and the class Of
ohenses has been of a more trivial charac-
ter. Since the men know that only good
conduct will entitle them to wear the new
uniform, 1t can be readily seen that they
will try to keep out of the hated clothing. +"
The correspondent also interviewed
Warden French Of the United States peni
Tertiary Mt Leavenworth, who perhaps has
had more experience with the system than
any other prison official in the west. It
Is In use in that prison, and the warden
has observed its workings elsewhere. The
warden was asked II he believed in the
graded system of prison uniforms
II do, If You will carry it far enough to
make it effective and give the convict an
inducement and opportunity to reform.
Reformation is the purpose Of classifica-
ton for the grading of conyicts in prison
management. The change from the ia
miliar stripe to the different grades Of uni
form is but one step in the plan of reform
atory work in prisons. It is the most i'm
portant step and, like the half Loaf is
better than no progress at all.
The stripe is older than the peniten-
tiary in this country. It came across the
ocean. The lock step came with it. We
associate both with the penitentiary, and
in the public mind tho chief mark of dis
grace in going to the penitenitary is the
donning Of the stripes. The oonvicts know
this and hence the opportunity to keep out
OF them is seized upon by all men sent to
