The crier took care to mention all the
titles and academic honors Of the doc
Tor as well as bis place of residence.
He soon became the talk OF the town.
DO you know" says one, that ia
nous physician has come here, a very
clever fellow? He must be very rich,
'or he offers 25 louis for finding his

BISHOP DoANE DEMANDS DEATH.
Extreme Penalty Right, He Says, and
Quotes Bible.

Albany, N. Y.-Whomsoever she'd
deth mans blood, by man shall his
blood be shed" This was the an
swer of Right Rev. William Crosweil
Doane, bishop of the Episcopal dio-
cese of Albany, when asked whether
he believes in the abolition of capital
punishment, the question having been
suggested by the attitude of Governor
Dix and Colonel Joseph f. Scott, state
superintendent of prisons, who have
announced their belief that the death
penalty should be abandoned in this
state.
Capital punishment is right said
the bishop. The objection to it is
purely sentimental Those who have
been declaring themselves in favor OF
the removal OF the death penalty over

Foust After the Oyster.

Dairy and Food Commissioner Jas.
Foust has given notice to his agents
to ok out for the bloated oyster,
this icing the season of the year when
he is served. The commissioner says
that in many towns dealers place the
bivalves in water to "fatten" them
and thereby destroy not only flavor
but food value as well as appearance.
Added water is as much against the
law as added preservatfves and nu-
merous arrests will soon be reported.
