SUFFEREDTORTURES
WITH ECZEMA
Spots Burst and Ran All Over Face.
Sore and InAamed. Had to Tie
Mittens on Hands. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Cured Completely.

Freeland, Md" Baby's eczema started
In little spots and would burst and run all
over his face and wherever the water would
touch his face, 1t would make another sore
Pimples would break out and make his face
sore and inhamcd, and he was very cross
and fretful. 1t was awful. He suffered
fortunes from 1t, and we had to tie mittens
on his hands to keep him from scratching.
We tried everything We knew and had him
to three doctors, but they could not help
him. A friend of mine told me of the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and l went to a
drug store and bought them. When we
would battle his face with the Cuticura Soap
and apply the Cuticura Ointment, he would
be much better. He would wake I'D in the
nights and cry with his face and we would
put on some Of the Cuticura Ointment and
then he would rest all right. BY keeping
this up every day his face began to heal and
then got well altogether. He suffered Just
about year before we used the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and they have cured
him completely Of the eczema. Weuse the
Cuticura Soap all the time and there is no
better soap for the skin" (Signed) Mrs.

Lawyer, Twice in Shadow Of
Chair For Staying Million
aire Rice, Pardoned.

OSSINING. y. Y, Nov. 28.-"Thank
God, this is a real Thanksgiving day
for me-"
These were the words uttered today
by Albert T. Patrick, convicted slayer
of William Marsh Rice, who was par
doned from Sing Sing prison by Gov
ernor Dix after his ten-year fight for
freedom, during which he twice was
within the shadow of the electric chair
Patrick who was sentenced to death
IN 1902 for the murder of Rice, an aged
Texas millionaire, in New York city In
September 1900, had waged an unceas-
ing legal battle for his release and had
spent fortune.
Wife overjoyed by Pardon.
Governor Dix sent the pardon from
Albany by mail yesterday, and it was
expected that Patrick would be released
about noon.
Mrs. Patrick, who married the lawyer
in the Tombs in New York city on
March 80, 1902, arrived here this morn
ing from her home in Brooklyn, over
joyed at the successful conclusion OF
the long battle.
Il knew my husband would win his
freedom, because l knew that he was
innocent" said Mrs. Patrick. 1--WE have
had a hard struggle, but the result JUS
titles all our efforts"
Warden Kennedy, who knew unofi-
cialIy that Patrick had been pardoned
before the papers arrived from Albany,
had made all arrangements to release
the prisoner
May Fight Fer Rice Fortune.
1t was reported that Patrick may
leave soon for St. Louis, the home Of
John T. Milliken, his wealthy brother
in law, but may return 10 New York as
a claimant for the millions left by the
aged man for whose murder he was ar
rested.
Milliken aided Patrick in his fight
spending large sums to sustain the le-
gal battle. He always had believed in
PatriCk's innocence, and was one of the
first to wire his congratulations when
he learned that Governor Dix had
granted a pardon.
Many of the persons throughout the
United States who have been deluging
the offices Of New York governors for
ten years with letters and kilograms in
Patrick's behalf sent kilograms of con-

Broyles tomorrow afternoon for disorderly
conduct, caused a scene in police court
Yesterday afternoon and temporarily
halted proceedings when she attacked
Hattie Davis, negro woman, in the

Officers rushed into the room and sep

damage was done. The Davis woman
screamed wildly for help when assailed
and startled the whole court room. Fear
full that Mrs. Harmon would renew the

Referring 10 a statement made by the
executive department OF the state OF
Georgia to the executive department of
the state OF Oklahoma, to the effect
that the governor OF Georgia is power
less to remove or In any wise discipline
a sheriff in Georgia, and that the sher-
if may be reached by way of a trial by
jury, and in no other way, The Sa-
vannah News comments vigorously as
follows:
The necessity for n change in eX-
listing laws was impressed on the
people Of this state during a recent
Georgia railroad strike, and In the
case of one or two lynchings and
at least one hanging. The Georgia
sheriff is responsible only to the
people who elect him, but when he
shows a disposition to look more
carefully after. his own reelection
than after the enforcement of the
law, II does seem as if there should
be some method of administering
discipline more speedy than the
slow moving trial by jury.
It is altogether likely that two new
| laws will be proposed in the next legis-
lature vitality affecting the points raised

A statute will be proposed giving the
governor more direct power in the mat

his duty, and another will be proposed
providing for the execution of all Grim

trail point within the state--either At

Both of these acts will greatly aid,
so many people think, in the sure and

law.

NIGHT NURSE GAVE THE ALARM
When 5lsze Was Discovered Little Pa
tients at Epileptic Farm Near West
Chester Were Awakened and
Formed Into Line In Night
Robes to Safety.

West Chester, Pa, Nov. u. 49, The
| children's cottage, one OF the largest
buildings at the Epileptic and Colony
farm, near Oakbourne, three miles
from this place. was destroyed by fire.
The twenty-five inmates were saved by
the prompt action of four women, who
summoned them to the school room
when the fire was discovered, formed
them into line in their night robes and
marched them to safety.
The patients are now being cared for
in another building Mt the colony. The
loss on the building, which was large
three story one of brick, with wings,
including large sun parlor recently
erected, is about $50 900, the loss being
partly covered by insurance.
The institution is located on the large
estate OF the late James c. Smith, who
left provision in his will that it be
devoted to the use of home for cpl
lepticS and endowed ii with large
fund for its support. The main home
has accommodations for about a hun
dred patients.
The fire was discovered burning
briskly in the attic by Miss Mary John
son, the night nurse, who had made an
investigation after detecting the Odor
of smoke in the sleeping apartments Of
the children. She at once summoned
Mrs. Abbie Fergus, the superintendent;
Miss Elizabeth Watson, secretary to
DR.. j. Clifford Scott, who has charge of
the entire colony, and Miss Elizabeth
Davis of West Chester, a guest at the
institution for the night
Together they awakened the little
patients and sent them to the school
room in their night robes When all
were assembled they were marched to
another building, and the women turn
ed their attention to fighting the fire,
meanwhile calling the men attendants
from the other buildings.
The building was equipped with hose
lines with a good water pressure and
also patent fire extinguishers, but no
headway could be made against the
flames, which spread rapidly down
ward from the attic, and within an
hour the entire building had been de-
stroyed. Firemen from this place were
summoned, but while on their way to
the scene were notified that their serv-
ices were not needed.
The attendants can give no possible
solution OF the origin of the fire. There
were no lights burning in the attic and
no fire there. Spontaneous combustion
is the only theory advanced by the Of
icials at the institution.

early Christmas shopping, the public
has already commenced to buy for
the holiday season which is only
about five weeks Off Merchants are
stocking up well to meet the de-
mands of the holiday trade which
will no doubt be ahead of last
years record, as money is in plenti-
full supply among all classes of
wage-earners and the farmers have
good bank accounts following the
harvesting of exceptionally bountiful
crops. A brisk retail trade is ex-
pected from now to the end of the
calendar year in seasonable goods
and in those articles which serve
best the purposes of generous St.
Nicholas.

Pennsylvania is free from debt.

malcontents concerning the manner
in which the State has been man

spite Governor Wilson's campaign
filings at it, there is now nothing out
standing against it that is not pro-
Vided for in the sinking fund, and
more than provided for.
There is, indeed, after every last
dollar of indebtedness has been ac-
counted for, a balance OF almost
$4,000 on the credit side of the
ledger.
AS the Philadelphia Inquirer says,
this is a remarkable showing. Match
it if you can.

NO TAFT RUNNING MATE.
Republicans viii Name No Candi-
date in Mr.. ShermaD's Place.

The leaders of the Republican par
ty have decided that it is unwise to
call meeting of the National Com
mittee to choose a successor to the
late ViCe-President James S. Sher-
man on the Republican ticket.
Ever since election a discussion
has been going on at Republican ma
tional headquarters on this question.
1t was argued in favor of the pro-
ject that a complimentary nomina-
tion might be made as a tribute to
a prominent Republican. On the
other hand it was pointed out that
it was ridiculous to call a meeting at
Chicago of the fifty-three members
of the committee to select a candi-
date who would receive eight, or at
most twelve electoral votes.
On night that Vice-President
Sherman died a meeting was called
for November 12. After the election
this meeting was postponed indefi-
nitely. There is now no disposition
to call one.

NOT ANTI-pRoTECTIONIsT

In the excitement over the capture
by Governor Wilson of the electoral
votes of many states in which he was
the choice of minority of the cleo
tors The Evening POST falls into
the error of thinking that the coun-
try as a whole has indorsed the tar
iff smashing views with which the
Democratic party entered this years
campaign. 1t said
First among the great gains of his
(Mr. Wilson's) victory we put the
destruction OF the hideous supersti-
tion about the protective tariff,
which was again dragged out the
past month in the hope of deceiv-
ing, at the same time that it insult
ed, the intelligence of the American
people. They were asked to de-
throne reason and to groyel before a
fetch. Wilson's triumph
makes an end of the superstitious
view of protection. Say not the
struggle naught availeth when this
has been accomplished.
II Mr.. Wilson held a view of pro-
lection different from and opposed
to the view held in common by Mr..
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, that view
was certainly not indOrsed by a ma
jority of the voters. Outside the
Southern States the vote for the two
protectionist candidates for President
ran far ahead Of the vote for the
supposedly anti-protectionist candi-
date. There were no signs of a Will
son landslide anywhere. The Dem
ocratic nominee merely held or fell
below the normal Democratic vote,
and he would have been left in a
decided minority in the Electoral Col
lege if the protectionist vote had not
been divided between two nominees.
Compared with the Cleveland over
turn in 1892, the Democratic party
still shows a great decline in strength
with the people. Mr.. Cleveland won
decisive victories in New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin and nearly carried
Ohio, while Mr.. Wilson's vote in
those states this year has fallen far
below the total polled by the two
former sections of the Republican
party, both pledged to protection.
