Little Trick That Is Worked In

''There was time and that not so

There are no genuine fences in Baxter
street now, becau 80 clothing, shoes and
hats are so cheap, but some of the stores
still pretend to sell stolen goods.
"When a customer in one Of these
stores has looked every thing over in the
shop and hasn't made purchase, the
salesman tells him that he has little

DECAPlTATlON.
Life Said to Remain Long After the

nCAO ~ SSVeTeuss
1.-THE executions in Paris during re-
cent years have revived the old question
whether death instantaneously follows
upon the: severance of the head from
the body, - says the Massachusetts Med
-ical journal. "Dr. Cinel asserts that
decapitation does not imme diately affect
the BRAIN He says that the blood which
lows after decapi tation comes from the
large vessels of the neck, and there is
hardly any call upon the circulation of
the Uranium. The brain remains intact,
nourishing itself with the blood retained
BY the pressure Of the air. e.. E
''When the blood remaining in the
head at the moment Of separation is ex-
) haueted, there commences q state, not
Of death, but Of inertia, which lasts up
to the moment when the organ, no
longer fed, ceases, to- exist. p, DR.. Cinel
estimates that the brain finds nourish-
ment IN the residuary blood for about
an hour after decapitation. The period
Of inertia would last for about two
hours, he thinks, and absolute death
would not ensue till after the space of
three hours altogether. /. 49,

possible that it should do so, all the

not cause instant DEATH, If this be true,

WASHINGTON, April 25.-There was a

sion of information 1t was so carefully
guarded that nothing leaked out.
A few kilograms came from Key West

the intentions of Commodore Schley in so
hastily rushing away the flyers Columbia

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Hawaiian an
pexation, which would not be accom-

probability, now that war is on, says the
Washington correspondent of the Herald
It Is learned that a great effort is to be
made in the present week to procure the
ratification of the treaty annexing the
Hawaiian island to the United States.
Secret sessions are to begin early in the
week, probably tomorrow, for this purpose.
At last accounts there were SIS votes in
the senate assured for the treaty, five less
than required. Senator Davis believes now
that some of the original opponents of
the treaty have been made to appreciate
the strategic value of the islands, in view
of the pending war with Spain. There Is
no longer any danger of objection from
Japan to the annexation proposition, for
1t Is said there is already tacit UNDER
standing between the United States and
Japan, whereby the latter country will
eventually be given control of the philip
