The Execution of Czolgogz.

AUBURN (N. VI, October 29.-They
killed Leon Czolgocz swiftly, de
corously aud without a hitch or
accident in the execution chamber
of the State Prison this morning.
The assassin went to his death an
anarchist and an infidel. His mo-
mept of penitence had passed aud
almost his last word was declara-
ton that he was not sorry for what
he had done.
SO, ak weeks after his crime, the
assassin Of the President died. Now,
not even his body cumLsrs the
earth. Jhere are no death masks,
20 Rrewsome exhibits in jars. Czol-
goez's body will, by thu time this is
read, have been consumed by the
chemicals that were poured upon it
in the gravs. Six barrels OF quick
lime aud carboy of sulphuric acid
transformed the deep pit in the
prison plot into csldron OF liquid
fire that seethed and bubbled to he
very feet of the convicts VINO were
shovelng back the earth into the
a3sassin's grave. NJ guards were
placed above the sinister mound.
None was needed for the uncovering
of that pit OF fire by ghoul or body
snatcher is beyond the range of pos
sibility.
The storv of the execution OF he
Presidents assassin is told iu The
Examiner by those who witnessed it,
officials physiciaus and lsymen.
The doctors who performed the
autopsy say demonstrated that the
wretch who struck down the ma
TONS chief was no madman but
creature sound in body and brain,
whose hideous turpitude was not
palliated in any degree by a clouded
mind.
That he died stolidly, bruisbly
aud with malevolent words on his
lips, relieved only by regret that
he had not seen his father, was a
surprise to the jailers who had
watched him through his trial and
i'm prisonment. Their prophecy was
that at the last he would beg for
mercy and shrek his fear and have 1
to be carried struggling to his death.
The execution was carried through
with the precision of clockwork. 1t
was not four minutes after the door
between the chamber of the con-
demued man aud the deathroom
opened to let Czolgosz through that
the prison physician, with his ear to
the murderer's breast, announced
that hs life was done. The whole
matter, the preparation, the execu
ton and the disposal of the body
was accomplished as we'll as such d
thing could Va done. There was.
the miuimum of disturbance all
through it, and half an hour after
the assassin was killed the thou
sands of conyicts in the big prison
were quietly at work. There was NO
crowd outside the penitentiary gate.
and the routine Of the in -titutiou
was going on as quietly and mechan
ically as ever.

CONSOLIDATION SHOWS
SUCCESS IN CHARITY
Eureka Benevolent Association and
Hebrew Board of Relief Dem
onstrate Good Work

Members of the Eureka Benevolent As
ISOLATION met at the Office on O'Farrell
street yesterday to hear the fifty-first an
nual report and also to elect officers for
the year. Charles Hirsch the president,
announced that the year had been made
memorable by the fact of the uniication
of the disbursing boards or charity com
mittees of the four leading Jewish relief
organizations of the city, an object that
had for many years failed of accomplish
ment. The charity committee composed
of delegates from several benevolent or
CARNATIONS was now known as 1.-THE He
brew Board of Relief, with full charge
of all matters pertaining to relief work.
The report showed that the expenditures
from the general fund had been consid-
erably less this year than for the previous
one. AS a result of the consolidation of
the charitable organizations they had re-
duced the expenditures during the past
year to 500, 1856 95, which was $2237 81 less
than the previous one. The total sum ex-
pended in charity was SIG, 701 S.. The total
expenditure for the year amounted to
SIC, 4S6 SO. Last years deficit was s924s 40.
while this year it was considerably less,
being only 1924 04, which result was due
principally to the work of the committee
on subscriptions, which, under the chair
manship of Lewis Gerstle, succeeded in
augmenting the income with the sum of
$4555 25 The widow and orphan fund had a
capital of $140,O26 81, a gain of S1S9S q. The
expenditures for dispensations to widows
were $4ooz 0O ana proportion OF expenses

A retrospective glance into the fifty
one years history of the association
showed the duties performed and the ben

and while alternating poverty had neither
encouraged pauperism nor destroyed the
self-respect of the beneficiaries.
The following named officers were
elected:

dent, S. w. Heller; treasurer, Albert
Meyer; secretary, Meyer H. Levy; trus-
tees-Herman Levy, A. Anspacher s.

UNUSUAL NUMBER OF
DRIVERS IN THE PARK
Unsprinkled Roads and Clouds of
Dust Bring Discomfort to Many =
Pleasure Seekers.

The park and beach attracted an unu-
sually large throng yesterday, and al
though the north wind had a touch of
snappy cold as it blew down the beach
and across the park roads, the drivers,
riders and pedestrians were out in force
No accident of any kind marred the
pleasure of the crowds of people, but an
act of neglect on the part of the Park
Commissioners brought discomfort to the
drivers and riders. The wind was. light
but the dust was so thick and annoying
that the clothes of those in buggies and
on horseback were damaged. Women who
usually wear their furs and light-colored
coats when driving returned from their
outing with discolored robes and sore
hearts. A sprinkling Of the roads would
have been a prevention of the discomfort
arising from the dust.

unable to speak on account of the broken
jaw, but made the employee understand
that she had been assaulted and robbed.
The matter was at once reported to Police
Ofhcer George Collins, who made a search
Tor the man and woman, but without sue
cess. Last evening Detectives Oman and
Wren were detailed on the case by Cap
tain Seymour. They held a brief inter-
view with Mrs. Foote, but on account of
her condition she was unable to give
them clear statement of the robbery.
The unfortunate woman will be sent to
St. Luke's Hospital to-day to be treated
for the broken jaw.
Mrs. Foote describes the woman who
assisted in the robbery as being tall, of
stout build and becomingly dressed in
black. Her alleged brother was about 80
years of age, clean shaver and
weighed about 100 pounds
Mrs. Foote says she will be able to iden-
tity her assailants in the event they are
arrested.

THIEVES BREAK
A WOMAN s JAW
Aged Mrs. Foote Is the
Victim Of Brutal
Criminals.

Mrs. n. ]. Foote, an aged woman, was
brutality assaulted and robbed by an I'M
known man and woman in her room in
the Elysium. $50 Geary street, early yes
terday morning.
The thieves secured a valuable pearl
necklace, a gold watch and chain and
$500 in greenbacks.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Foote, who arrived here only short time
ago from China, she was walking along
Market street on Saturday night when
she was accosted by a well dressed young
woman. who engaged her in conversat ton.
At the solicitation of the stranger so Mrs.
Foote says, she accompanied her to the
Hoffman Cafe at Second and Market
streets, where they had several drinks.
After leaving the cafe the two women
walked up Market street and when near
Lolita fountain Mrs. Foote'S companion
called young man whom she claimed
was her brother. After being introduced
to Mrs Foote the man proposed that
they take a hack drive to the Cliff. AS
Mrs. Foote had no objection, the trio
hailed a passing hack and ordered the
driver 10 take them to the park When
about a block from the park the man
complained about feeling i'll, and at the
suggestion Of his supposed sister the
driver was ordered to turn back. On the
return trip the trio had several drinks, all
of which were paid for by Mrs. Foote.
Shortly before o'clock in the morning
the trio brought up at the Elysium, and
as the elevator was not running Mrs
Foote'S new found friends consented to
assist her to her apartments. After reach
ing her room, Mrs. Foote says, the man
struck her on the face with his clenched
FIST, breaking her jaw. AS she fell pros
trate the woman who accompanied her
grabbed her purse containing her green
backs and jewelry. The man and woman
then ran down the stairs and disappeared.
Mrs. Foote'S screams attracted the at
tention of one of the employees of the
house, who, upon going to her room,
found her lying on the floor She was

To hear women satirizing themselves

The plot for THE Knickerbocker

the bill before Congress for preserving the

feelings hurt in one way or another. For
example: A daughter of some well-knoWn
forefather with a prominent jawbone, but
without credentials, would have trouble in
making her presence felt because she was
not of a sufficiently prognathic appear
ance to convince certain others of her re-
