SANITARY CIGARMAKING.
Little Device Which Dispenses with Use
of Paste.

A new idea in cigar manufacture, just
patented by German manufacturer of
Potsdam, Prussia, Comprises ring for
securing the covering leaf. The ring is
formed of tinplate, and is compressed
after its application to the covering leaf
so that it takes the shape of the cigar
tip. The cigar is first rolled in the usual
manner and then wrapped in a covering
leaf, so that the finished cigar does not
appear different from the usual shape
The covering leaf, however, is not
gummed, or the like, but is held fast by
means of the ring. The creased tin
plate ring is intended to be secured by

RELEASE.

When death is coming near,
When thy heart sinks in fear
And thy limbs fail,
Then raise thy hands and pray
To Him who smoothS the way
Through the dark vale.
Seest thou the eastern dawn,
Nearest thou in the red morn
The angels song?
Oh, lift thy dropping head
Thou who in fear and dread
Hast lain SO long.
Death comes to set thee free
Oh, meet him cheerily
AS thy true friend,
And all thy fears shall cease,
And in eternal peace
Thy penance end.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
ANDREWS AND ARNOLD HANGED
Murderers Of Mrs. Youneblood at Den

the ScaffoId,

Canon City, Colo, June 17.-Fred
Arnold and Newton Andrews were
hanged last night in the execution
house of the Colorado State Peniten-
tiary in the presence of thirteen wit.
nesses. The execution was quiet and
successful in every detail.
AtsS:22 o'clock Newton Andrews
mounted the scaffold, dressed in a
plain black suit and wearing button
hole bouquet of roses gathered from
the penitentiary garden.
Although somewhat weak and trem-
bling. he stepped upon the platform
without faltering.
When asked If he had any statement
to make, he replied that he had, and in
a low but distinct voice, slightly trem-
bling with emotion. he said:
"Gentlemen-This is my last state
ment. / expect to die any moment.
What l say you can put down as abso-
lutely true. On the occasion OF the
death oil Mrs. Youngblood, Arnold, Pc

condition.

house the other boys pulled me out
and we went into the house. / did not
realize what was going on, but soon
| heard shots fired. | pulled my gun
and fired once through the ceiling
That was the only shot fired. After,
ward Arnold told me that he had laid
out in the Youngblood yard close tc
the house with gun, waiting Tor the
woman to come out, and that ne eX
pected to kill her."
After making this statement he added
that he had nothing further to say.
Immediately the black cap was
placed, the moose was adjusted ano
while the chaplain commended the sou
of Andrews to his Maker, in an adJoin
ing room the water was already trick
ling from a bucket which in another
minute would release the great weight
which would jerk the body of Andrews
into eternity.
When the weight dropped the boys
body shot three feet into the air ant
his neck was instantly broken.
After hanging for thirty minutes life
was pronounced extinct by the three
attending physicians, and the body was
cut down.
About ten minutes after the body o.
Andrews was cut down, Arnold was lee
out. He strobe upon the platform

When asked If he had any statemen

Colorado State Institutions.

Denver, June 17.-Secretary Hagar
of the State Board of Charities and
Corrections, in discussing the recent
visit of the board to the state institu-
tions, said yesterday that the thing
that most impressed them was the In
ability of the state to take care of its
insane. The last two legislatures have
been generous and the new buildings
at the institution are only recently
completed, but they are not enough.
The day the board was there there
were 761 inmates, of whom more than
700 are declared to be incurable. The
place is worked to its capacity right
now and the county hospitals are full
of persons who should be at the asy-
lum.
The condition at the State Peniten-
tiary was satisfactory. in SO far as the
management is concerned. There are
721 prisoners. But two were in the
hospital the day the board visited;
these had some slight ailments. This
is remarkable. considering that the
men have to.be confined SO closely.

PENsIoNING THE AGED.
What the French Government Has
Done In the Matter.

1.-The aged are generally held in re-
spect, but not more SO than in the
United States" So says United States
Consul General Gowdy at Paris in a
report in regard to the care of the
aged in France. For more than half
a century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
pensioning the aged. but not with en-
tire success. The law now in force,
which was adopted in 1895, is not al
together satisfactory and will probably
be amended in the near future.
At the present time deposits are re-
ceived from any person. regardless of
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs ($96.50) In the course of a
year. An account may be opened for
a child three years of age; a married
woman may deposit money without
her husbands consent. At any age
between fifty and sixty-five Cor earlier
in case of permanent disability to
work. the depositor may claim his an
nuity, which is calculated according
to the amount of his deposit and in
terest and the probabilities Of life, but
the annuity may not exceed 1900
francs ($231.50).
In rural districts the tax gatherer
is empowered to receive deposits, and
In many factories a certain percentage
Is deducted from the wages and paid
to the Caisse In the workman's name.
A branch of the Caisse may be
founded in any town or village, with
the permission Of the prefect of the
department, and there are about 2,300
OF such branches, with nearly 100000
depoSitors.

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two Of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. l stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l gave him three Pills a
day. one morning. noon and night for
eight days; at the end Of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone. but to
give the medicine Justice, l gave him
eleven more pills. l used thirty-five
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
/ consider your medicine saved my
childs life. When the thirty-five Pills
were given him, he could run. dance
and sing. whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night"
