HER LAST LETTER.
A Pathetic Note from Condemned
Murderess to Sympathizing Friend.

Everett. Mass, Dec. S.-What was
possibly the last letter written by Mrs.
Mary NJ. Rogers, was received in the
city, this afternoon, almost at the mo-
ment the condemned woman expired
in the state prison at Windsor The
recipient of the letter was Mrs. Ida
NJ. d. Archy, an Everett woman inter-
ested in philanthrOpic work and who
correspondent regularly with Mrs. Rog-
ye1s. The letter was written on the Of
fetal paper of the state prison of Ver-
mont and was countersigned by the
officials. to show that it had been duly
read and passed upon before it was
placed in the mails. The letter was
dated Dec. 6. but the postmark bore
yesterdays date. The letter is as
follows:

when the trap was sprung and Mary
Rogers paid the penalty of her crime.
It was exactly 1.13 P. NJ, when the
drop fell, and Mary Rogers was PRIV
nounced dead at 1.271s.
Death was due to a broken neck.
The law having been fulfilled, the
IDENTITIES. guards and spectators quiet
lIv left the prison. The body was cut
down and placed in a coffin that had
heen awaiting it beneath the scaffold.
Mrs. Rogers body has been claimed
by her mother and sister and will be
buried by them at Hoosick Falls, N.
Y. where the mother, Mrs. Josie CAL
lahan, resides.
AS soon as the body of Mrs. Rogers
had been cut down, placed in the cof-
fin and removed from the scene, the
employees of the prison set about dis
jointing the gallows.
All who were present united in say
ing that the execution of Mrs. Rogers
was as free from sensation as such an
affair possibly could be. The sentence
of the court was carried out in a
dignified manner. Death was appar-
emily painless. The condemned wom-
an maintained her characteristic
calmness and self-possession to the
last and there were no sensational or
narrowing scenes in the death cham
Der, although the body quivered for
few seconds.
Among the spectators were Judge
Charles A. Mccarthy of HOosick Falls.
n. Y, of Mrs. Rogers counsel, and ID.
A. Guiltenan of Bennington, who de-
Tended Mrs. Rogers at her trial.
Neither High Sheriff Henry H. Peck
nor Supt Lowell witnessed the eXecu-
ton. Sheriff Peck remained in the
guard room until after Mrs. Rogers
was pronounced dead. Supt. Lowell.
who has assisted in the execution of
nine murderers, remained outside
until after the drop fell. Sher-
iff Peck is subject to heart trouble
and it was deemed unwise for him to
subject himself to the strain of the
execution.
At 2.25 P. NJ, less than an hour after
Mrs. Rogers was pronounced dead, her
body was removed from the prison
and carried to the railroad station to
be shipped to Hoosick Falls, N. Y.

the meantime a little group, consisting
of sheriffs, deputies, prison guards, mil
| itary guards, legal witnesses and three
| Vermont newspaper reporters, had as
sembled in the west or old wing of the
prison where the scaffold had been
erected.
A few minutes after the sheriff had
sent his deputies for the condemned
woman, the sound of approaching foot
steps broke the solemn silence Of the
prison. The doomed woman was near
ing the dread machinery of death upon
which her life would end.
The death march Wended its way
down the stairs of the woman's sec
ton of the prison through the guard
room and into the west wing. Mrs. hos-
ers appeared tC be the calmest person
in the party, although her pallor pore
silent witness that she realiZeI the
meaning of it all. She was goWned III
a simple dress of black. Deputy Sheriffs
marched on each side of the condemned
woman. Previous to the march to the
scaffold, Rev. Father c. c. Delaney,
pastor of the local Roman Catholic
church. Mrs. Rogers spiritual adviser,
recited the prayers for the dying IN
Mrs. Rogers cell. Father Delaney dld
not accompany Mrs. Rogers to the scat
fold.
Prison Chaplain Hayes witnessed the
execution through the window OF the
warden's room. but did not enter the
death chamber.
The windows separating the wardens
q room from the
wing where the death scene was en-
acted had been draped in black and
not even a casual glimpse of the scat
fold could be obtained by any persons
who had not the proper credentials ad-
hitting him to the execution cnamper.
Passing through the door that opens
from the guard room into the west
wing. Mrs. Rogers was obliged TO oes-
cend a flight of iron steps. She dld
not finch for an instant. Her step
was firm: she spurned the aid OF the
deputies and she refused to steady
herself by the iron balustrade.
A few short steps and the stairs
leading to the Scaffold were reached.
Again Mrs. Rogers declined assistance
but unaided, she mounted steadily
and without culver to the top, STEP
ping exactly upon the center OF the
trap. She sat down in a chair for
moment and when asked if she had
any final statement to make she shook
her head.
To bind the limbs of the condemned
woman in leather straps was the work
of a minute only. A large black sack
that was lying open upon the trap was
quickly brought up about her body
and fastened around her back.
The moose was adjusted by one Of
the deputies and another deputy plac-
ed the black cap upon her head.
The next step in the execution or
the murderess was the official an
nouncement by the sheriff:

execute the sentence of the law ana

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminertly safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfectS the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal LoZenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
| anti-septics in tablet form or rather in
| the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with
| honey.

possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary
