Justice Abused.

An extraordinary case of prison
maladministration perhaps unique in
its way, has just been brought to light
at Cartagena, where an old prisoner
named Moreno, condemned in 1867 to
twenty-seven years penal servitude
for military desertion and brigandage,
has been kept in Jail eleven years
after the expiry of his sentence in
1894, simply because the original rec
ord Of the sentence had been lost.
Moreno would certainly have died in
illegal imprisonment, but the editor of
a powerful Madrid newspaper, happen
ing to visit the prison a short time
ago, heard from his own lips the story,
and it's publication caused a popular
outcry, which has secured his release.

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration Of Homes.


The STYLES of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better.
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
DDS for interior decoration, better eff
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
Of paint, or of 'kalsomine, or of Ala
bastine-whateve the material used
TO cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
mower. as well as permanency and
beauty of color Alabastine, a wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means a hard white rock-is
the ideal covering for a wall
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathe.
drals and churches, have a perma-
nency and an art of which wall paper
| is but a cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach OF the every
| day home. They can be done with

has the soft effect of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re
| decorating of their rooms not only
because of the expense but because
of the discomfort of it. With Alabas
tine there need be no discomfort ant
there can be no muss, for all that 4:
needed is TO lay sheet or canvas or
the floor, have your man come in with
a pail, make the solution and simply
brush it on the wall That is all there
is to it, and the room is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.

A $4,000 Reception.

One OF the costliest entertainments
Of the winter was given the ether
night in a Fifth avenue restaurant,
which placed its largest room at the
disposal of the guests. The man in
whose especial honor the affair took
place comes from Austria, and the
plan of decorations was to reproduce
a country scene in his own country.
Hills covered with real foliage left the
center of the room valley In which

on the knolls and lambs grazed there

Hotel Proprietor Rid Of Nuisance and

A well-known hotel proprietor at
Coney Island is going to give lamb
chop dinner at his place on Surf ave

celebration of the moving away of a
merry-go-round, which for years occu-
pied a spot directly opposite the no
tel. The organ attached to the merry
go-round has played the same old
tunes all of the time. The organ, in
the estimation of the hotel proprietor,
was a nuisance and interfered in a
large measure with the guests of the
hotel, who were not able to find any
enjoyment listening to IL. Now that
the instrument of torture has gone
further down the avenue, the hotel
man is greatly relieved and has ar.
ranged for a lamb chop dinner to the
owner of the organ, and many of his
friends. The affair, as is usual with
everyone arranged for by the good

WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In tho early sixties It was usually the
duty of practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
round of visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had received
n splendid medical training in one Of the
best medical colleges OF that day was ac-
customed TO ride ten, twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting the sick and
afflicted. His success was soon phenom-
enal. Doctors and families called him for
consultation TO towns at considerable dis
tances by rail. One of his speclalties was
the cure OF those distressing diseases OF
women. He had early discovered that
by combining the vegetable extract Of
tho following medicinal plants In just the
right proportion without the use of alco-
hol his prescription invariably cured
such cases. Later, in order 10 place this
remedy before the public In a shape easily

tory at Buffalo, N. ", whore regularly

accurately prepare his prescription and
put it In shape for shipment TO all parts
of the United States. This remedy, which

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerou,
After-ETects from Grip and Learns
Value of BloOd Remedy.

The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores of victims OF
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
anamia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood.
builder and nerve-tonic, DIR. Williams
| Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
| thoroughness Of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement thai
supports this claim. She says:
II had severe attack of grip and, be.

state. Soon after it began was so lame
for a week that could hardly walk. II

NOVEL GRAVITY RAIL SYSTEM.
Particularly Adapted for Crossing
Rivers, Gorges and the Like.

Rivers, Corges and the Like,
A novel railway system has been
invented by Abraham Abelson of New
York city. This system is particular.
ly adapted for crossing rivers. gorges,
ravines and the like, says the Scien-
tifc American. and It is designed to
effect an economy over existing sys-
TENS of transportation
1t consists of tower at each an
chorage built of skeleton framework
in the center of which an elevator
operates. Cables are suspended from
a cradle at the tower top and anchor
ed near the base of the opposite tow
er. Pivoted CONFERENCE.-The are pro-
vided, which serve to keep the cable
taut and to compensate for any varia-
tions in cable lengths. These weights
also remove the lateral pressure of
the towers. producing instead a down
ward pressure thereon.
The system does not require any
elevated approaches to the bridge
entrances. The transporter cars are
suspended from swivel trucks, which
travel on the cables. In practice a
car is raised by means of the elevator
to the top of tower, the trucks being
turned so as to clear the cables.
When the top of the tower is reached
the trucks are turned back to normal
position, so that on descent of the
elevator they will rest on the cables
supporting the car. The car there
upon descends by gravity to the op
posite tower. The cars are entirely
Independent of each other and the
speed of the descending car can be
regulated at will, thus affording a saw
ing of time over such systems as EN-
uloy two counter-balancing cars.
