DIED BY THE GARROTE.
Murderer of the Prime Minister Of
Spain Executed
COLL showed Iron Nerve when Con-
fronted by Death - Something
About the Machine Which
Took His Life.

Michel Angiolillo. the assassin who
killed Premier Canovas on the sth of
August at the Santa Agueda baths in
! Spain, was a man of iron nerve. This
he especially displayed at his execution
at Vergara. Though implored by the
priests for hours before his death To
repent of his crime, he turned a deaf
ear to all their entreaties. He assembled
the scaffold without a tremor, and
showed his disregard for Christian con-
ISOLATION by turning to the back of his
head the red cross on the front of the
black cap that is placed on the heads
of men doomed TO die by the garrote
When he arrived at Vergara for trial
he cynically remarked: My Calvary
has commenced. priest will try to
convert me, and the usual comedy will
be gone through" On the scaffold his
last word was Terminal" the name
given to the seventh month of the year
by the red reyolutionists in France. He
requested the executioner to leave his
face uncovered, and thus met death
with the stoicism of an ancient Roman.
Little is known of Angiolillo, except
that he was a compositor in early life
and that when he went to Santa Agueda
on his mission OF murder he represent
ed himself as the correspondent of an
Italian newspaper. When arrested he
gave his name as Michel Coli He had
three sisters and two brothers living in
Italy. He was of medium height. and
wore a fun beard and spectacles. An
giolillo was sentenced to Imprisonment
at Lucrera, Italy, for IS months for an
archist offenses, but escaped from the
prison there in 1895, and made his way
TO Barcelon, Spain. The execution OF
anarchists in that city for throwing
bomb into a religious procession
prompted Angiolillo TO kill Premier
Canovas.
The garotte. on which Coli died, is
named after its inventor, a Spanish

Bladder TrOnbleS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action Of
the. kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.
Sample Sent Free.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troub-
les. 1t is comforting to know that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root fulflls every wish
in quickly curing bladder and urinary
troubles. 1t corrects frequent calls, in
ability to hold urine and scalding or sting
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate. The mild
and extraordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its wonderful cures Of
the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best. At
druggists fifty cents and one dollar. You
may have sample bottle and pamphlet,
both sent free by mail. Mention SITTER
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The properie-
tors of this paper guarantee the genuine

The December Magazine Number
of The Outlook will be its annual
Book Number. The Outlook was,
it is believed, the first of the weekly
papers to form the custom of printing
each year special number fully il
lustrated and containing not only de.
scriptions and reviews of the import
ant holiday books, but also literary
articles Of special interest at this sea
son. This year group Of articles
on Artistic Book Making will form
q prominent feature of the number.
Mr.. Theodore DeVinne, the head of
the famous firm of artistic printers,
Mr.. George Wharton Edwards, the
artist, and Mr.. +. d. North, the
well-known blbliophile and expert in
books, will contribute to this series,
and the illustrations will be of high
order. Other features will make
this number, it is believed, more at.
tractive than any Of its many prede.

Company, 13 Astor Place, New
York.

ENGLAND's CHILD DRUNKARDS.

Thirty Thousand Women Visited
Barrooms in One Night.
(By Anglo American Press.)
MANCHESTER, Eng, Nov. I.
Lady Elizabeth Biddulph presided at
the opening sittings yesterday Of the
Women's Total Abstinence Union in
Bristol.
Mrs. vanse (Loskapn) made a special
plea for childYen. saying that there
were hundreds of little ones in courts
and slums who went to bed drunk
every night
They had parents who, for the sake
Of drink, were willing to place their
children in the care of people really
unknown to them, and themselves in
toxicated.
In London alone, out Of $4,000 persons
who went into public houses one Satur-
day night in the course Of three hours,
over 80 900 were women.
The awful amount of drunkenness
among women must cause deplorable
wretchedness and suffering.

EDITOR SITTER: The "Subscri-

if it should call forth a few more
snearing remarks from SAP, which

article written Oct. 29, in fact do not
boast of any, but can see the need of
it and would like to call the attention
of the directors and parents to the
schools of Manchester Center, for
must still affirm that they are not up
to what they are in nsighboring
towns.
l do not claim it to be the fault of
the teachers, for they work hard, but
think il lack of interest in our direc.
tors and parents, and to many pupils.
In adjoining towns the directors
have prize exercises, the parents visit
the schools and we hear of their hav-
ing spelling schools, lyceums, aud
some exercises to keep up The inter-
est of the schools. While in the
schools here our directors cannot find
the time to visit the schools and we
have ono snhOol room IN rpnt while
scholars are rnnning the streets.

not inform us where our truant officer

and impartial criticism for think we
are none of us too old to learn, and

An Early Journey Across the Green

EDITOR SITTER: The preservation

The following extract from a pa.

daughter of the party who made the

the paper relates to family genealogy
and would have little general interest.

Kirkcudbright, where we lived five
years under Lord Selkirk. Then, in
June l774, my father, Robert Nc

William, John, Grisey, Robert, Mary
