RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

II had eczema on my hands for ten
years. ! had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. I then
used one box Of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles Of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
yer raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time I had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have lever given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
my daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and In two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and 1t always proved sue
cessful. Mrs. M. e. Falin, Speers

1866 GO DOWN TO DEATH
One Man Aboard French Ship Gen.
Chanzy Saved.

Palma, Island of Majorca.-Driven
helplessly from her course in one of
the widest storms that has swept the
Mediterranean sea for forty years, the
French Transatlantic Steamship Com
panys steamer General Chanzy crashed
at full speed, in the dead of night, on
the treacherous reefs near the Island of
Minorca, and all but one of the 1877 souls
on board persisted
The sole survivor is an Algerian Gus
toms official, Marcel Rodel, who was
rescued by fisherman and who lies in
the hospital at Ciudadela, raving, as a
result of the tortures through which he
has passed, and unable to give an ac-
count of the disaster.
In the ships company there were 81
passengers, of whom 30 were in the first
cabin. The crew numbered 70. 1t is
not thought any Americans were aboard
the liner.

PEARY MADE REAR ADMIRAL
Hale Bill Passed by Senate-House
Will Concur

Washingt Reconsideration to the high
rank of rear admiral as one of the hon
ors to be bestowed upon Commander
Robert E. Peary, U. S. N, for his achieve
ment in discovering the north pole, re-
ceived the Endorsement of the senate on
Wednesday. The Hale bill adding Pearys
name to the list of rear admirals in the
navy and providing his immediate retire
ment with the highest pay received by
one of that rank, was favorably reported
by the committee on naval affairs and
was passed almost Immediately without
debate or comment.
A similar measure offered in the house
by Representative Allen of Maine was
followed to the navy department by
Chairman Foss of the navy committee,
who stated that he expected it would be
approved by the department and that he
would then urge its passage by the house
as fitting recognition of the work of Com
mander Peary.

BRIDAL COUPLE MURDERED
House Broken Into and Gruesome
Find by Neighbors.

Cleveland, O.-John Janowsk and his
comedy young Polish bride, found muir
dered in their beds Wednesday, died in
satisfaction of debt of $50. This is
the story told the police in a statement
which they say was made to them by
George Boscardo, 20 years old He had
lent the money to Mrs. Janowski, accord
ing to this statement, to secure her love,
but had found himself unable to realize
on the investment. Angry because of his
failure to get his money back, the police
say Boscardo tells of waiting for the
couple to return to their home Sunday
night, of again demanding the money and
failing to get it, killed the woman with
a section of gas pipe. The man, as the
story is told, succumbed after strug-
gle.
For three nights and three days the
bodies lay in the house while Boscardo
coolly continued his employment at a
foundry. The door of the house on We'd
nesday was broken in on demand of the
neighbors and the Jalowskis were found
where they had fallen. The pipe was
near by.

GIRL HORRIBLY MURDERED
Sixty-five Wounds on Body or Ia
Year Old Girl

Deland Fla.-Following the finding of
the horribly mutilated body of 14-year-
old Mary Tedder, at the home of her IA
Their at Glenwood, Irwin Hantchett, 16-
year-old white boy, was arrested He
was Immediately spirited away by the
sheriff to escape the enraged posses of
citizens in search of the murderer.
Additional particulars received follow
ing the arrest are horrible in detail. A
bicycle, which the girl was riding, was
found 100 yards from where her body
was discovered, indicating that her as
saiIant had struggled with her for this
distance after knocking her from her
wheel In the body of the girl sixty-five
knife wounds were counted. She was
literally cut to pieces.
That the girl had been beaten about
the face before being stabbed, the
bruises indicated.
The sheriff secured bloodhounds and
followed trail to the orange grove of
William Woolsey, where Young Hant-
chett was employed. After careful in
vestigation the boy was placed under
arrest In the room was found bloody
clothes and the knife with which the
murder is believed to have been com
mitted. The boy came to Glenwood last
October Previous to this he had been
confined in a school of correction at some
point in Connecticut.

PLAN TEDDY'S RETURN
NAVAL PARADE FOLLOWED BY
A BANQUET TO BE GIVEN.
Taft May Not Be Able to Participate
IN Reception, But VIII
Speak at Banquet.

hington.-Presiden Taft has been
given full details of the plans that have
been formulated for the reception to be
rendered former President Roosevelt on
his arrival in New York harbor some
time between June Is and 81. Col. John
A. Stewart, president of the New York
State League of Republican Clubs, and
representative of the Republican Club OF
New York City, discussed the matter
with the president for half an hour or
more, and told him that the committee
which would be placed in charge of the
celebration would undoubtedly extend
later formal invitation for him to be
present
There is doubt as to whether Presi-
dent Taft will be able to participate, but
it seems likely that he will. Col. Stew
art said the idea was to have the steamer
on which Mr.. Roosevelt arrives met down
the bay by fleet of yachts and harbor
craft, and that there will be land pa
rade of some sort. The plan for Presi-
dent Taft's participation is to have him
present in New York City so that Mr..
Roosevelt may call upon him. The days
celebration will end with a big banquet
at which President Taft and former Pres
dent Roosevelt will be the principal

COMMISSION CHILLED
REFRIGERATION COMMITTEE WAS
FLAGRANTLY PRoFLIGATE.
Representative Macon Says Election
to Congress Does Not
Mean integrity.

Neutrality-suspicious. of laughter alter
mated with storms OF applause for near
ly an hour in the house Tuesday after
noon while Representative Macon Of Ar
kansas grilled the congressional immi-
grafton commission for the manner IN
which the body has spent more than
S650,000 of government money since ITS
creation three years ago.
Wine, whisky, cognac, lemonade and
mineral waters were some of the neces-
saries of life which the travelling mem
beers of the immigration commission pro
vided for themselves while taking their
100000 trip through Europe and ASIA
Minor, according TO the showing made
by Mr. Macon after delving into the
treasury. From the same official
source Mr. Macon brought forth the in
teresting fact that the members of the
commission paid literally for carriage
hire while taking trips for the investl-
cation OF immigration conditions to such
places as the National Art Gallery, the
House of Lords, Westminster Abbey and
the Tower of London in that metrop-
oils, and the catacombs i'll the cities of
Rome. Italy, and Syracuse in Sicily. 1t
was also brought ont that members OF
the commission had taken long carriage
rides out from Jerusalem to such we'll
known sources of immigration as Beth
any and Bethlehem in the Holy Land.
Other items of expenditure for which
the commission turned in vouchers to
the treasury, but which the accounting
officers refused to sanction, were for
shaves, shines and ''rubs," the last eyi-
IDENTIFY meaning either Turkish baths or
massage treatment. For these the treas
ury officials would not stand, and the
members OF the commission who enjoyed
the Injuries had to pay for them out of
their own pockets.

Little Rock, Ark.--1n an opinion hand
ed down by Attorney-General Norwood
ne holds that it is violation of the Ar

is artificially colored. He also holds it
a violation of the law for any person to

materials especially chosen to impart a
color and taste similar to that of cider
vinegar unless the package is distinctly
marked by label which states the true

FAVORs LOCAL OPTION
BRYAN SAYS COUNTY Is THE
REAL UNIT.
People Should Have Voice in Deter
mining the System of Regulat-
ing Liquor Traffic.

Lincoln, Neb.-W. J. Bryan has come
out ilatfooted for county option in Ne
braska. He takes step in advance of
this and declares Democracy must di-
vorce itself from the liquor interests.
The saloon, he says, is used to debauch
politics and to prevent the intelligent
consideration of public questions.
The liquor interests, he declares, made
themselves odious at the last session of
the Nebraska Legislature by preventing
the submission of the initiative and refer
endum. Mr.. Bryan declares the right of
the government to regulate the sale of
liquor cannot be denied, and the right to
make the county the unit of regulation
is just as plain.
The statement in part is as follows:
The people, acting through the in
strumentality of government, have for
their own protection the right to deter
mine the conditions under which liquor
shall be sold in any community, county
or state, and it follows that the people
of the nation have a right to act upon
the question whenever in their wisdom
they think it proper to do so, for what
ever constitutional objections may be
urged to any proposed legislation, it
must be remembered that constitutions
are in he hands of the people and can be
altered whenever the people see fit to
alter them
"The Democratic party cannot afford
to act as the mouthpiece of the liquor
| interests. 1t can have nothing in com
mon with the selfish, mercenary and
conseienceless crusade that the liquor
interests have organized against the
home and the state; against private vir-
tue and public morals"

LAYMEN HEAR AFRICAN HERO
Lives Where Theodore Roosevelt Is
Now Hunting.

Memphis, Tenn.-Two of the most re.
markable characters in the world are in
Memphis, brought here by the laymen's
convention-one an Englishman and the
other a Korean prince. One lives i'll the
heart of benighted Africa, where he has
served fourteen years as missionary;
the other has lived most of his life in
his native Korea, where he has occu-
pied various positions of state, and is
now content to fill the honored post of
president of the Methodist College, es-
tablished by the Southern church, of
which he has been for more than TWEEN
ty years an ordained minister.
The Englshman addressed great con
gregation at the Second Presbyterian
Church Tuesday night, and it is no dis
credit to all of the other distinguished
men on the program to say that his adj
dress has been the piece de resistance OF
the convention so far.
Unheralded, practically unknown, un
assuming and little noticed. Willis r.
Hotchkiss sat on the platform by the
side of John r. Pepper and looked out
into the sea of faces before him, prac.
tically the most inconsequential man in
the auditory. Two hours later, hun
dreds of those men We're crushing
against the pulpit to grasp the hand
of one of the greatest heroes and, one
might say, empire builders in the mis-
sion field. His story was told with thaS
completeness which characterizes the
Englishman the world over. They are a
thorough people and we in America, at
any rate, never hear any but the best
prepared and equipped of their public
speakers. Can it be that they only send
to us such men?

HARVARD AND CONFEDERACY
College Is Torn Over Plan to Honor
Southern Heroes.

Cambridge, Mass.-A memorial to the
sons of Harvard who fought and died in
the cause of the Confederacy is pro
posed as a solution of the controversy
which has been raging among the under
graduates over the question of allowing
the names of the Confederate dead to be
placed in Memorial Hall at Cambridge.
Letters bearing on both sides of the
question have been printed in the college
daily newspaper and the official organ
of the alumni has come out squarely
against the proposition to admit Confed-
crate names to the roll of honor in Me
mortal Hall.
As measure of compromise it is now
suggested that separate memorial to
Harvard's dead Confederate sons be erect
ed either in Cambridge or south of Ma
son and Dixon's line.

a picture signifies nothing to him ut
may be almost inconceivable that such
is the case" writes Consul Holt. but
1T is physical fact that the eye of the
average Moor fails TO find any mean
ing whatever in a picture" He relates
how he has repeatedly shown to Moors
photographs of themselves which they
have Jailed to recognize; land this Is
true TO an even greater extent as re-
CARDS pictures of inanimate objects"
with special reference to things for
sale. says Providence Journal. How to
coax to buy goods potential consum-
er who can read neither print nor pic
ture would evidently be a considerable
problem for the modern expert in ad-
vertising. Samples and "demonstra-
lions" indeed, are the only form OF
publicity which is at all likely to catch

ploitation as carried on in the United
States becomes useless when directed
at him. The mail order house. appar-
