SCALY PSORIASIS ON LIMBS

Troop H, 9Th U. s. Cavalry. Camp
Mccoy, Sparta, Wis., was troubled
with psoriasis for nearly two years.
Portions of my arms and limbs were
affected mostly with 1t. 1t appeared
in scaly form, breaking out in very
small dots and gradually grew larger
and white scales formed when about
the size OF an ordinary match-head.
The looks of it was horrible, which
made 1t very unpleasant for me. 1t
itched little at times.
II tried several treatments which
cured me for a month. but 1t always
broke out again. One day a friend
saw the advertisement Of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment in the paper and
l sent for sample. They helped me.
so l purchased two more boxes OF
Cuticura Ointment and some Cuticpra
Soap and they completely cured me.
II took three months for Cuticura
Soap and Ointment to complete my
cure" (Signed) Walter Mahony. Oct.

after I'd shot his hand to chips, he

So Bull shut up while we dashed him,

Seeing the fellow I'd killed might want

they'll wait until we get our constable

was no indication of it. Sometimes
she smiled at Thomas Fleming; and
sometimes exchanged a word or two
with Mr.. Bates. Once he leaned over
and said:

read somewhere; now, what was the
name of it? 1 can only remember
two lines:

Dor Bates said, heartily, and
turned away to listen to Fleming,
who was on the stand. Fleming's
evidence was as straightforward as
the man himself Yes, Smith (now
deceased) had paid him in March,
1887, the sum of SIT, 400. Of this,
$4,000 was on a personal account;
$14,4O0 was for parcel of land be-
longing to the Hammond estate. The
check was made to his order; he de-
posted it in his own bank account
and Immediately drew against it
check for $14,40 to the order of the
Trust. Then followed very clear
and definite statement of that money
Smith owed him; debt which he
was unable to corroborate by his
books, for the simple reason that his
books had been burned in the great
fire of that year. Over and over, back
and forth, round and round, the
prosecution went, gaining not an
inch. ..

hands with his client, Tets go and

But Amy, with proud eyes, said no;

said. Dinner is at half-past seven;
you can dress at our house; and, of
course, you must stay all night"
Bates promised, and Fleming silently
squeezed his wife's hand. Amy's
eyes spoke to him. -...
The joyous and beautiful day
passed; the afternoon was gay with
congratulations but the succession
of friendly calls was fatiguing.. At
last she had the house to herself.
She reflected it would be well to have g,

MORE SENSATIONAL
 TESTIMONY GIVEN
 IN HOWARTH TRIAL

Willimantic, Nov. 11.-Further de- tails were related by State Officer Rob ert T. Hurley, of conversations alleged to have taken place between Frank B. Howarth, the Putnam lawyer, accused of arson, and Mrs. Zola Bennett, widow and detective, and overheard by him through a telephonic device, when he took the stand again in resumption of the trial of the case, this morning.
 On July 31, the witness said, he overheard an interview at Mrs Ben nett's home in which Howarth de- clared:
 .If I did pull those deeds off, would not even tell my wife. I would never make that admission. If did tell you, it was because I had too much in. Do you mean to tell me that I told you about burning my cars at the fair grounds fire? If I did don't remem ber.'
 Howa,rth is unmarried but afhanced- Mrs. Bennett, according to the wit ness, replied:
 You did not mention that fire in particular, but said all of them.''
 According to Hurley, Howarth told Mrs. Bennett that he made the plans and that Caine played second fiddle" Of Caine, Howarth is declared by the witness to have said:
 '.Caine takes orders like a hired man and is there with the goods. I paid him $165 a month"
 At this same interview, Mrs. Bennett asked the accused: Do you like to see fres?'' To this. Howarth respond ed, Yes
 Howarth is also quoted as having said to Mrs Bennett: T can do as good a job out there we did in Put nam. I ann not afraid of Caine. He is in as deep as am. Even if Caine got mad at me would not be afraid of him.''
 The witness further testified that Mrs. Bennett said to the young law yer: You know you told me you set all those fires" Then they both laugh ed, said the witness
 Howarth then said: .I am not go- nam fires. I would not talk about them for a million dollars
 The state policeman testified that in an interview on August 21 Howarth wanted to borrow some money from Mrs. Bennett. He could not say how much. Howarth, it was testified, told Mrs. Bennett that if he could settle with the insurance company for the insurance on his two machines burned in the fair grounds fire he would not need to borrow money.
 HurIey's further testimony had to do with the conversation between Caine and Howarth on September g and 10 in the Brooklyn jail, the day of their arrest and that following. It had been previously brought out that the woman detective and state police man together heard the talk and Hur1ey's report of that read from his notes corresponded to that given last week by Mrs. Bennett.

MAYOR SAYS HE'S
 GOING TO DO AS
 PETER WHITE SAYS

we shall put into effect as many of the recommendations of Peter White as possible,'' said Mayor Will son today. 'but cannot say just now what recommendation we shall take up to put into effect next year. Many of the recommendations of MT. White involve charter changes which would be impossible to effect by ordinances.'' 9
 MT. White, who is considered an ex- pert on municipal matters, finished his report of the city audit about a year ago and it was very exhaustive affair. It contained forty-three rec concentrations. Some of these in re- gard to auditing have already been adopted. Mayor Wilson claims that a number of others could not be put into effect last year because the board of aldermen held such a large Demo cratic majority and the Democrats did not favor MT. Whites recommen- dations.
 Some of the recommendations of MT. White follow:
 '.That the mayor be given summary power of removal for just cause over all members of boaros and all chief administrative officers who are not ac- countable directly to some one of the boards.
 That the creation of new positions and the fixing of compensation shall be put under the jurisdiction of a single body whether the common council or the board of apportionment and taxation.
 That the committee on lamps be relieved of all administrative duties and be assigned to the department ot public works.
 ''That the merit system be adopted; :; to apply (with proper exemptions) to all municipal servants below the rank of administrative offices and depart ments.
 That a. general ordinance be passed .forbfdding any municipal officer or employe from engaging in any form of business in the city.
 That the board of appraisal of ben efits and damages be abolished"
