ASSASSIN IS ELEcTRoCUrED.
Successful Execution of Leon CxOl-

His Last Words.

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 30.-Leon F.
Czolgosz' body has lost its identity
in the dust of the tomb. Not many
hours time has elapsed since the as
sassin of President Mckinley, defiant
to the last, was led to the electrocu-
ton chair and executed for his crime.
But in this short time acids have
done their work upon the remains of
the assassin and there is not a YES
tige of his flesh or bone remaining
in the unmarked grave in the prison
cemetery about which guards keep
silent but unrelenting vigil.
Such is the fate of the despised an
archist, who on September 6, less
than two months ago, shot down the
president of the nation at the Buff

been burned and there survives only

archists, and the record that he paid
the laws extreme penalty after q

Her back ached all the time, her head

relief till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills.

pains vanished like the morning dew.
I consider this remedy God-send to
suffering womanhood."

HARBOR FORTIFICATIONS.
Gen. Gillespie, Chief of Ensineers.
Submits His Annual Report on
TAeir Condition.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Twenty five
of the principal harbors of the Unit
ed States now have a sufficient num-
Der of guns and mortars mounted to
permit of effective defense against
naval attack, says Gen. Gillespie,
chief of engineers, in his annual re-
port. He briefly describes the origi-
nal project framed by the Endicott
board for the coast defense and
shows how it has been amended from
year to year. The important changes
were the provision for rapid-fre guns,
a reduction in the number and cali
Der of heavy guns and the elimina-
ton of armored defenses. Provision
has been made for emplacing 325
heavy guns, 1927 rapid-ir guns and 376
mortars. Now Gen. Gillespie wants
sites for more new mortar batteries.
and for gun and mortar batteries
asks an appropriation of $4,000,o00
The fortified tons board having de-
clared pneumatic gun batteries obso-
lete, the department has discontinued
work Oh such batteries at Fishers is
land and Port Royal. An estimate of
100000 is submitted for the preser-
walton and repair of fortifcat tons,
which is less than one-half of one per
cent. of their value. During the year
negotiations have proceeded for the
purchase of fortitication sites in Bos-
ton harbor (two), in Narragansett
(three), New York harbor (extension
of Fort Newton, three sites). Port
Royal, San Francisco, San Diego, St.
Johns river, Fort St. Philip and Cape
Henry, Va. With few exceptions these
sites must be procured by condemna-
ton. An estimate of $2,O0O,O0O is SUBJ
mitted for purchases of sites.

short incarceration in condemned
mans cell. That Czolgosz was per-
fectly sane was proved by the autop-
sy and the examination of his brain
soon after his death.
Czolgosz was electrocuted at exact
ly 7:12:30 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The witnesses assembled in the death
chamber at 7:0S o'clock and at Z: 10: 80
the murderer was brought in. He
was intensely pale and the four
guards who accompanied him had to
urge him forward after he had STUN
bled on the threshold of the entrance.
The assassin had refused to make a
confession or to call priest, but as
he was being seated in the death
chair and the electrical apparatus
was being fitted to his head he stared
at the guards and said:
Il killed the president because he
was an enemy of the good people-of
the good working people. 1 am not
sorry for my crime.'
These were his words as the guards
hurried him into the chair.
A moment later, mumbling through
the half-adjusted face straps, he said !:
II am awfully sorry 1 could not see
my father
1t was just exactly I'll o'clock
when he crossed the threshold, but a
minute had elapsed and he had just
finished the last statement when the
strapping was completed and the
guards stepped back. Warden Mead
raised his hand and at 7:12:3O Elec-
trician Davis turned the switch that
threw 1,700 volts of electricity into
the living body.
From the time Czolgosz had left his
cell until the full penalty was paid,
less than four minutes had elapsed.
The physicians present used the
stethoscope and other tests to deter
mine if any life remained, and at
7:17 the warden, raising his hands,
announced:
'Gentleman, the, prisoner is dead.''
Electrician Davis made this state
ment as to the execution:
II used 1,70O volts of electricity, turning
| it into the body at full voltage for seven
SECONDS and then slowly reducing It for
As seconds Then threw the full voltage
on again for eight seconds. Then at the
suggestion of DR.. Macdonald, 1 turned it
| on again for a few seconds. did not think
there was any necessity for the third con-
| tact, and the lack of resistance shown when
| it was administered proves that life was
extinct. The body showed eight amperes
of resistance. That is a little more than
| would be given by larger or stouter man
where the current could have more chance
| to percolate. 1t was as successful an execu-
ton as have ever operated at in all my
experience" a
The clothing and personal effects of
the prisoner were burned, under d.
rection of Warden Mead, shortly aft
err the execution.

NURSE is ACCUSED.
Mysterious Death of Four Members of
Davis Family in Massachusetts
Followed by Arrest.

New Bedford, Mass, Oct. a1.-Miss
Toppan, trained nurse, has been ar
rested on charge of murder as the re-
suit of an investigation of the mysteri-
GUS death of the four members of the
Davis family of Cataumet, Mass, with
in 80 days. The arrest of Miss Toppan
was the immediate result of the fnd-
ing of poison in the stomach of Mrs.
Gibbs. That the other members of the
family died of poison is not charged
by the Massachusetts state detective
force, which has the investigation in
charge, but the circumstances leave no
doubt that such was the case.

SOMETHING ABOUT CARROTS.

A sirup is prepared from carrots.
Carrot is easy of digestion, and
gently laxative.
Boiled carrot is used as poultice for
foul sores, and as vermifuge.
Carrots, when cut into small pieces
and roasted, are occasionally used as
substitute tor coffee in Germany.
In the reign of Charles I. ladies wore
carrot leaves as an ornament instead
of feathers; and the beauty of the
leaves is still acknowledged by placing
root, or the upper portion of one, in
water, that it may throw out young
leaves to adorn apartments in winter.
AS an article of food carrots con-
tain large amount of what are called
heat-producing compounds, with a
small proportion of fesh-forming mat
ter. 1t consists essentially of starch.
sugar and albumen, with volatile oil
which communicates flavor unpleas-
ant TO many dyspeptics.
