ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA

For several years 1 was troubled
badly with an eczema on my limbs and
wrists. Physicians in several towns
had prescribed for me without giving
me any results. I had often used
Cuticura Ointment and received relief
temporarily. In the springof 1904 Itook
the Cuticura Resolvent Pills and used the
Cutieura Ointment for about five weeks,
and at the end of that time there was ot
q blotch on me anywhere. This spring
took afew walls Of the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills as a precautionary measure, and
will continueto do so every spring simply
as a spring tonic, as they are so easy
to carry with you, and they certainly&
fix your blood for the ensuing year.

Stop improvements.

An official OF the Detroit & Mac

they will not expend any money for
improvements for some time, and says
that the Michigan Central and other

The Thaws.

The real reason for Harry n. Thaw's
desire to be admitted to bail immedi,;
ately pending his retrial aside from
his natural craving for freedom. is
that he fears his wife may utterly
collapse unless he can get her away
from New York at once.
Evelyn looks wreck. The greatest
worry Of the whole Thaw family Is for
Evelyn's health.
''Since last July" said a friend.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw has wasted away
30 per cent She is only a shadow of
herself. II she should catch cold and
It settled on her lungs, in her present
condition, il would mean almost GER
tain DEATH"
His wife's condition furnishes the
real motive for the demand Thaw will
make for his release under $250,000
bail, Evelyn refuses to leave New
York without her husband.
Persons who do not look kindly on,
ThRw'g defense are inclined to fS1h
in his anxiety regarding his wife, and
especially interest suddenly being
shown in her by his relatives, a selfish
motive. They point oat that the only
thing. which gave Thaw the ghost OF.

generally agree that it would take far

death chair for Harry.
Although Evelyn Thaw will not
leave New York without her husband,
his other relatives are not SO devoted.
Already they are planning trips for
themselves to various resorts. All OF
them feel the need of rest, and VIII
recuperate in some quiet place.

WAS WILLIAM cHAR6ENEAu
RAILRoADED TO PRISON? Is
NoW-AskED BY MONROE.
WILL SEEK A NEW TRIAL.
Some Features Of the Case That Are
Favorable to the Convicted Man Are
Brought Out.
Mrs. Laoodne's Letter.

There Is O feeling in Monroe that
VIM. Charbeneau was railroaded to
prison. He was convicted of a felony
against Mrs. Saphronia Lagodne. who
was found in a swamp near lockwood
nearly dead and who told pathetic
story of ill-treatment. Charbeneau was
arrested on suspicion and he confessed
that he had been with the woman, but
denied that her story was true In some
of its worst features. They had been
drinking together and were in each
others company nearly two days and
he started her towards Newport. when
she was ready to leave him. That In
brief was his story.
Charbeneau is an ignorant fellow
and knew none of the usages or the
Jaw and told his story without hesita-
ton. That he did not know the ma
ture of the charge Of statutory as
sault," to which he was required 10
plead, is the quite general opinion OF
his acquaintanceS and OF the lawyers.
1t Is said that sentiment was MADE
against him by sensational newspaper
stories. But this, it is agreed, was no
excuse for the man being sentenced
to three to ten years Imprisonment
without an attorney being heard in his
behalf.
An effort will be made to have the
case retired before Judge Lockwood
in an endeavor to have the sentence
reduced
Public sentiment is almost undivided
In favor of new trial. Had a trial
been ordered, in spite Of the plea, as
Is the custom In similar cases In
Wayne county, 1t would have appeared
that the alleged victim is slightly de-
mented woman, whose word is not to
be believed implicitly, and that the
facts were, probably, somewhat differ
ent from those alleged in the COM
plant.
There is strong doubt IL there was
=. criminal" assault at all in the case.
The "aggrieyed" woman, at any rate,
has written a letter to young Char
beneau thanking him for his kind
treatment.

Making binder Irvine.

That the governors proposed bind

OF Warden A. N. Armstrong. OF Jack
son prison, who adds that the legisla-
ture should make provision to pay
prisoners making the Irvine for over
time, as do private contractors in the
case of prison labor.
There are a thousand ways in
which the prisoners could slight their
work." says Warden Armstrong, "and
If prisoners heart is not in his work
the result is the same as q man on the
outside. The contractors pay by the
piece on overtime. Many workers earn
as high as $15 a month, and it makes
them feel as though they were Of
some account. A great deal Of this
money goes to help support wives,
children and parents outside. The ef-
feet is good. The success of the bind
