Pigg and Shurick that a man in Sing $ condition could be pulled through to recovery. A photograph of Sings head taken by Mrs. Pigg the day after the tragedy shows his skull to have been chopped open for 7K inches.

BUREAU OF FISHERIES
 DISTRIBUTES CANS
(Ketchikan Miner

MT. Ernest P. Walker, Commits sioner for the Bureau of Fisheries. was informed by wire yesterday that the department had secured from the American Can Company so, 1000 cans for distribution among the canneries who may be short of the supply this season. The cans are supposed to reach ketchikan next Thursday, when MT. Walker will be ready to start distribution.
 From the meagre information at hand, MT. Walker infers that the distribution of these cans will be- left to his discretion. For that req. son he will have to ascertain in some manner the needs of the par ty or parties desiring a supply. Although late in the season, said MT. Walker, the department felt that if it could help the canners, with a little supply of cans it would be to the country's benefit.

Edwin Fawcett, son of former pa

wall-on-Hudson, New York, by appear
ing there, distributing to former en-
ployees at his fathers mill in Moodna
pay that had been due them 40 years.
The elder Fawcett's concern got in
financial straits after the panic of '73.
When the mill closed in 1877 it owed
wages to several employees, and Sam
uel Fawcett told them they would get
their pay some day.
His son appeared with a list of for
mer employees, including Charles d.
Smith, who was a mere boy when the
mill employed him. He received pay,
with interest, amounting 60 $65; his
sister received $50 due to their mother,
now dead. Others were paid and, in
case the employee had died, his next

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus SO it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops OF drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender. aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezOne for you from his
wholesale drug houSe.-adv.

Spare convict's Hands.

Now we know exactly what Justice
Darling really thinks of violin players,
says the London Globe. One of that
tuneful craft appealed against doing
hard labor for felony because it might
spoil his hands. The court RENTED the
hard labor and gave reasons.
Justice Darling said that it was ex-
pedient for the convict to have pro-
fession in which he could do no harm.
If his hands became hard and he could
not play the violin, he might again
take to practices of the kind of which
he had been convicted.
This is quite new view to take of
the uses of the violin. Playing the
violin is useful, according to his lord
ship, because it keeps the performer
out of mischief. We wonder if this
applies to all music. The vocalist who
breaks out in song, we presume, less
likely to break into a dwelling house.
He who picks the banjo will be kept
from picking pockets. And the per-
former who blows the cornet with feel
ing will not blow safe with nitro
glycerin.

CITY HALL 22o YEARS OLD
Dungeon and Cell in Dundee Structure
Show Severity of Punishment
Two Centuries Ago.

In the High street of the city and
royal burg of Dundee is an ancient
structure, within which the town coun-
Gil still transacts the business of the
city. This building was erected some
22O years ago and cost $4,000. In the
underground basement is the ''con-
demned cell" seven feet six inches in
height and eight feet by seven feet,
and without light, ventilation, or SAM
tary provision of any kind. In this
gruesome dungeon the old-time GRIM
inal condemned to death awaited his
end.
In the upper portion of the build
ing are % cells, once used for ordinary
prisoners. One Of these cells, under
the sloping roof of the facade, illus
trates the severity of methods Of pun
ishment two centuries ago. To d
strong iron staple in the center of the
apartment the unfortunate prisoner
was attached by shackles on his
ankles, the roof overhead being so low
that he could not stand upright. Only

fined in this CELL The ponderous key
Of the heavily studded door which adj

JAPAN is SELF-sUFFIclENT

Japanese egoism has caused much

strength come to China or Turkey,
conditions there will become similar.
