from Hospitals as HopeIess-cutl-
cura Remedies Cured Him.

From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw
He used to tear himself dreadfully In
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worsS cases ever admitted,
From each he was discharged as in
durable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for a cure. Six months
ago We purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and to-day he is perfectly cured

The little man at the back OF the

the big stout fellow in front of him,

SPORTING LIFE IN BURMA.
Popularity Of Bull Racins-Pugilists
Strike With Their Eyes Shut.

A form of speculation not generally
known in England but very popular IN
Burmah is bull racing, A certain ma
tive sportsman is the owner OF n Of
these bulls, for which he has refused
an offer of 10000 rupees. 1t has won
several races and is looked after and
as carefully tended as a Derby ia.
vorite. The owner values it at $4,000
rupees, and it is said it brings him
in an annual income Of from 10000
rupees to $4,000. 1t is carefully
guarded by four men lest it may be
got at and "doctored."
Burmans also ~patronize boxing
eagerly, but the art can scarcely be
practiced according to Queensbury
rules, for we are told by a provincial
reporter that he has observed that
"even the best boxers strike out with
their eyes tightly shut, and if they
do hit each other it is more by chance
than anything else"

Iy Planned Murder.

W0man's Throat Was Cut and Body
Wrapped in Oil Soaked Mat.
tress and Fired.

New York, July 31.-In the finding
of the half charred body of a young
woman early yesterday morning in
Brooklyn, one Of the most atrocious
and cunningly planned murders that
has been given to the police TO solve
in many years was revealed. Death
was caused by a cut across the throat,
and then in an endesvor. to utterly de-
stroy all evidence of the crime the
murderer or m%urderers wrapped the
body in an oil-soaked mattress, pour
ed oil over the victims clothing and
set fire to the bundle. A powerful acid
had previously been poured over the
face to obliterate the woman's fea.
lures and make identification impos'
sible.
Two Arrests Made.
Although two arrests have been
made, the police do not believe they
have in custody any N who can shed
any light on the mystery. The pris-
oners are James Ruddick, an old man
who lived in a stable not far away
from where the body was found and
his son Joseph, a peddler, who dis
covered the body. .... .s.,
1t was James Ruddick who notified
the police of the finding of the body,
He told three different stories, thus
exciting suspicion, and his arrest fol-
lowed. FIRST, he said that he discov.
cred the body; next he said that an
unknown man discovered it, and later
he said that the unknown man" was
in reality his son Joseph. This last
seph.
Old Man Was Ratified.
But the police do not attach much
Importance to Ruddick's conflicting
stories. He is very old and was la,
boring under great excitement. He
will be put through the third degree
to-day, however.
Ruddick, who was sleeping with his
father in a stable, saw the flames
about 4 O'Clock yesterday morning
and ran out to ~eXtinguish the blaze,
fearing it might spread to the stable,
He was Mortified at finding the half
burned corpse tied in the oil-soaked
mattress.
Scapuiar Is Only Clue. ..
1t was impossible at first to tell
whether the charred body was that OF
a woman or man. The sex was dis
closed at the coroner's autopsy.
A scapular was found on the muir
dered woman's breast, and this is
about the only clue, the police have
1t was homemade and larger than is
ordinarily worn. With this slight clue
the police hope to discover the identity
of the victim. She was about thirty
years old and had been a mother.

P0ST0FFICE CONTINUES TO
DO INCREASING BUSINESS

The general postoffice and the va
rious stations in Los Angeles continue
to do an immense amount of business,
and just as the October sale of post
age stamps showed a considerable in
crease over October of last year, so
the November report also shows a
great gain over the November sale of
1907, the difference being $3161.60. The
sale of stamps for November, 1907, was
$S1, 379.18, and the sale for the same
month just closed amounted to $S4,-
5587S.
During the month SSS,397 letters, pa
pers and packages incorrectly adj
dressed reached the Los Angeles post
office. To meet this number 155,949
correct city addresses were found and
the number of correct addresses found
and forwarded to persons outside the
city amounted to S1,950. This still
leaves 2OO,49S pieces of mail which
were sent to the general delivery to
await call.
During the month 1864 changes of
addresses were filed at the postoffice.
The number of callers at the general
delivery, not counting Sundays,
amounted to 111,94s, or a daily average
of 4474.
