Auburn, Cal June 2o-"What
is there to fight for? Ny youth is
gone, ny health is gone, and my
honor is gone" 1 E
Such were the words used by
Adolphf Weber when interviewed
by an Examiner correspondent this
evening, after he had been notified
of the decision against him by the
supreme court by Sheriff Keena in
the presence of Deputies May and
Fulton and Coroner Shepard. Web
er was looking, at geography at
the time. He never lifted his eyes.
but pretended that he did not hear.
When Keena iordered him to
change clothing and told him that
he would have to 60 to another cell
and a death watch would be placed
upon him, Weber 1sbelled, partio-
ularly when the officers took every
article out Of his clothing. With
sneer he remarked, ''I'd like to
know what right you have to my
property"
Weber, stripped, Is a human
skeleton, weighing not. over 90
pounds. His hair is down to his
shoulders and the long bunch of
thin beard on his chin gives him a
wild appearance.
Weber, at first, refused to talk,
but later, In answer to questions as
to his future plans, said: *If Attor-
uey johnson wishes to carry the
Ease further he will have to do it
on his own responsibility. abap
don the case; I resign. What is the
use?
It is understood that notwith-
standing Weber's disposition to re-
sign to his fate, his attorneys will
appeal to the United States supreme
court on some technicality. They
have already prepared an appeal,
not that they nave any hopes of
winning, but the highest tribunal
does not meet until November, and
banging will thus be prolonged.
The officers believe that Weber
will not live that long; that he
may not 1--we until the remittur
comes down, say two OF three weeks.
His mind is all right, but he is in
feeble health and may starve him
self to death. Weber is now the
sole heir, and hss in his possession
the entire estate of his father, esti-
mated to be $4,000.

Dust is a wonderful producer of
fires. There have been instances in
postofices where the dust of the mail
bags suspended in the rear of a close
room exploded with terrific force. Dust
explosions are of frequent occurrence
in -four and drug mills. The origin Of
many fires in tailor shops may be
traced to the so-called dry cleaning of
clothes. A rag dipped in naphtha is
frequently used in removing grease
spots from garments. The rag soaked
with inflammable fluid is thrown upon
the floor. When the shop is closed up
and the air is confined, the naphtha-
soaked material will OF itself generate
fire. Bales Of cotton placed in the hold
Of ship are often the cause of disas-
trous fires. Frequently a spark from a
cigar finds a resting place in cotton
bale, where it shoulders for weeks.
The dark hall in tenement houses is
the indirect originator of fires. Greasy

Toothbrush Experiences in Its Pioneer
Days.
Colonial diaries and letters make it
plain that our unfortunate ancestors
suffered much from jumping tooth
aches, swelled faces and the early loss
or forcible extraction Of teeth which
at a later period might have been
saved to render their owners many
years of further service. No wonder,
since the care of the teeth was little
understood, and that little often but
negligently practiced.
Toothpicks were known; the tooth
brush was not, although rough substi-
tutes were employed, made of fattened
sticks, split and pounded at one end to
stiff, flbrous fringe. Toothbrushes
when first introduced. were regarded
as by no means important accessories
to the toilet. but rather as minor lux
uries, and suitable for women only,
says the Youths Companion
The diary of London merchant
trading in the colonies has this entry:

But when Sally Annis, a Colonial
belle, wrote of it to her sister, she had,
like the London merchants wife, good
hopes Of its proving of more than
trifling value, Her seafaring father
had just brought her one, along with
other gifts.
