Special 10 The AdNertiscr-I
 NEW ORLEANS. April e.-Liverpooi advices were more favorable than expected, conse- quently our market opened points higher. subsequently advanced l 5n l6 additional on the frmness of spots and rumor that the census department would in few days issue report confirming the bureaus estimate, closing at net gain of 5d points on old crop months and 7~H9 on new Port and in- terior receipts continue light and there is :, good demand for spots. With a continuance of those features the proba bity is that renewed speculative buying may enter the market, Referring to the rumor that the census de partment would in a few days issue a report confirming the bureaus estimate we think this is singular. because the census is only taken every ten years and that department is now compiling the figures of two years ago and not this year. Receirts and the demand for spots will be the principal factors govern ing the future course of the market.

(Laad Words

Good Words.
 Our forefathers were great people for scents and perfumes, fragrant herbs and spices, and the astonishing amount of seasoning they put with the simplest dishes prepared one for almost any com bination. When to make a cherry tart they found it necessary to make syrup of cinnamon. ginger, and 'sawnders,! :! and to add rosewater to the icing. one can imagine how they set to work to cok a cormorant. Perhaps if we remind our readers that many chambers were provided with "dra ughts' which occa- slonally required cleaning, and that rushes took the place of carpets, they will realize one of the reasons for the use of per fumes. Sweet waters' were occasional ly sprinkled under the rushes in great houses. or for revels. or on the mat tresses and bedding.

Female HORSE THIEF
CAUGHT IN WOOSTER
Woman Stole RIs 60 Drive Con-
vIct Husband From PenI.
tentlaPy.

Columbus. o., June 3.-The police
received information that Marshal
l einier, of Wooster, had succeeded in
capturing Mrs. Jennie Butler Schwartz,
who is wanted in Columbus on charge
of horse-stealing.
\ The case Is very peculiar one. The
woman was employed in Columbus for
over a year, while her husband was
confined in the penitentiary, where he
was known as Dora Schwartz. The
man served a year in the institution
ffom Ashland county. Schwartz was
released last Saturday and his wife
had arranged to meet him at the PEN
itentiary gates. While she had been
employed in the city, she was penni-
less, and Monday afternoon she went
to the Blue Ribbon stables and secured
horse and buggy on the promise to
pay for them in the evening The wo-
man failed to return and the proprietor
learned that she had started for Woos-
ter. The information was, however,
so indefinite, that he announced that
he would give $25 for the apprehension
of May Colint, the name the woman
gave at the livery stable Byers noti-
fled the police department, which was
able to trace the parties to Wooster.
The woman was found at the resi-
dence Of Schwartz's parents. The man
succeeded in escaping as he saw the
officers approaching the house. Mrs.
Schwartz claims that she intended to
return the horse and buggy to the own
ers, but had been delayed in doing so.
1t was found that the horse had been
driven from Columbus to Wooster
without stopping and was in very bad
condition. Mr.. Byers was greatly cha
grined when he found that the woman
had succeeded in baking him, but he
started at once to secure his property.

CARR0TED
Last Prisoners Executed
Under Spanish Law
In Porto Rico.

CNews Democrat Leased Wire Service,
Ponce. Porto Rico, June 3.--The last
execution under Spanish law occurred
here this morning when four men
were garroted. Only one, Jose Tor
res. caused any trouble. He raved
about religion and insisted that the
eyccutioner kill him without placing
the black cloth over his face. saying
that he wanted to meet God with an
uncovered face. The doomed men
were tied to posts at four corners OF
the scaffold and their faces were COW
cred. They were executed one at a
time. The instrument of death was
placed around their necks and fastened
to post. One sharp turn of the screw
broke the necks of the doomed men.
There was not sound or evidence OF
pain and in three minutes all were
pronounced dead. After July hanging
will replace the garrote in Porto Rico.

COUNTY GRANT
Made For Electric Line
From Massillon West.

The county commissioners granted
franchise Moniay afternoon to the
Massillon, Dalton and Wooster Railway
company from the west corporation
line of the city OF Massillon to point
on the county line west of East Green
vile. sals
The route runs through West Brook
field and is over the public highway
known as the Massillon and Wooster
state road. The distance between the
terminal cities, Massillon and Woos-
ter. is about 22 miles. miles Of which
will be in Stark county.
The franchise contains about the
same conditions that are embraced in
the others granted similar roads. Con-
struction is to begin by October l., 1902,
and the road Is to be completed within
year from that date. Failure to COM
ply with these conditions invaiidates
the franchise. The railway is to De a
single track, running along one side
of the road.
The privilege OF furnishing light,
heat and power to parties along the
route is also granted in the franchise.
When 1t is necessary to change the
grade in the highway, the road is to
conform with the roadbed OF tile rail-
way and all cuts and fills are to be
covered six inches deep with gravel
or broken stone.
There is a good deal of speculation
as to who Is back of the line. Trea :
urer T. Harvey Smith was pushing the
matter before the commissioners. Com
missioner Crawford says that many
prominent men of Massillon are back
of the project, some of whom can build
the rod themselves. it necessary.
Others claim that this is simply an
extension of the Tucker-Anthony peo-
pie and that 1t means an extension OF
the system that now controls the Can
ton-Massillon and the Canton ami Ak
ron lines.
