Catarrh
IS n blood disease Until tno poison ll
expelled from the system, tbcro can
bo no cure for this loathsome anil
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment Is a thorough courso
of Aycr's Snrsnpnrllla the best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
the better ; delay Is dangerous.
"I was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedies,
and was treated by a number of physi
cians, but received no benefit until I
began to tako Ayer's Saraapartlla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me of
this troublesome complaint and com
pletely restored my health." Jesse M.
Bongs, Holman's Mills, N. C.
"When Ayer's Sarsnparllla was rec
oimncndcd to mo for catarrh, I was In
clined to doubt its efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben
efit, I had no faith that anything would
euro me. I became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
bad nearly lost the sense of smell, and
my system was badly deranged. 1 was
about discouraged, when a friend urged
mo to try Ayer's Sarsaparilln, and re
ferred mo to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking half a dozen
bottles of this medicine, I am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
obstinate diteaso Is through the blood."

I simply gasped, ''What for!" forget

femalo lunatio in tho smartest of hats
and frocks must have escaped from its
asylum on purpose to visit me. I may
add thst sho was unmistakably a lady.
I have an eye for detail, and my first
glance embraced her natty littlo patent
leather boots, her glovoB nnd goncral
etceteras.,
"What foil" sho echoed, and then
wont on quickly: "Why, for your ad
vioo of oourso. You are Mr. Fair

for breath.
"With ray case."
"Will you explain your oaso to met"
I baid, hoping tho explanation would
bu as long as possible.

said, "but they were of no use to Sir

ded, looking down and sighing as sho
recalled what was no doubt a paintul
and dissappointed interview, "and tuoy
wore snufly dull old gentlemen, and
I've come to you because I was told
you were very clever and original and
had brilliant ideas. ' (L blushed again).
"I havo their opinion, as thoy call it,

eminent loaders priclloing at the"
chancery bar, and as my client seemed
to think that my brilliant intellect
would instruct in tho facts of her case
without her assistance, or tho usual

hand deprecatingly for tho opinion,
ani read it through a couple of limes
before I wholly mastered its contents.
It ran as follows:

"Perhaps," I said, "on this side of

Sho nodded with n hopeful smile,
and I felt I ought to say something

"So you don't want to marry,1' I
said.
"Don't want tol" alio criod. "Why,
it's just that! I do!"
"Thou why don't you! Under tho

him from tho Uible anl ho prayed
with thsm. lis dressed himself with
out aid in a suit of gray-mixed goods.
About his nook he buttoned a turn
down collar, with a ohookod do of
lawn stuff. His hair ho combed and
brushed with great oaro. His Bhoos
wore well polished.
Tho prisonor objected to having his
head shaved, lis said ho did not
want to be disfigured, and in compli
ance with his wishes tho hair was only

Then the death warrant was read by
tho wardon., None of the Stato wit
nesses wero proseat only tho prisonor
tho proaahers nnd tho warden. Tho
man was oool, unrutlod, almost apa

over, was discredited by the blanchoi
hue of his face.
KUUttl.UR S GREAT COOLNESS.
"Come, Bill," commanded tho ward
on, whon all had boon dono in tho cell,
and the littlo party of four warden,
prisoner and clergymen passed
through tho nnto-room, passed tho
elootrical appliances, and tho warden
led tho way finally into tho death
ohamber. Close behind him trod tho
man ho soon would kill. His hands
swung at his sido cosily, savo when,
as though in some embarrassment, ho
stroked his brown full beard and mus
tache as ho oonfrontcd the white, ox
peotant faces of tho twenty-fivo mon
who, besides tho warden, would soon
see him die.
Mr. Durston placed a plain wooden -
bottomed chair droctly in front of tho
other and different chair and bade
Kcmmlor sit upon it, IIo oboyod
readily. Thero was no uneasiness
about his movements. IIo seated him
self leisurely. Thero was no nervous
tension apparont; indeed, not nearly ho
much as tho mon about him. IIo was
apparently the most calm person in
tho room.
Tho condemned man was introduc
ed to tho witnosses aud given permis
sion to make a statement. With per
fect composure and without rising
from the chair Kommler said: "Well,
I wish everybody good luok in tho
world," ho said, in easy, steady tones,
"and I'm going to a good plaoe, and
tho papers has boon sayiu' lots ot stuff
about mo that ain't truo."
l'UEPARING lOIt THE SHOCK.
Slowly tho man was prepared for
death, assisting in tho dotails himsolf.

Her Oao Fault
Luov Peters wont to boardinrr aohnnl
with the determination to mate her
self beloved by all her schoolmates
and teachers. Why should she not
succeed! Sho looked into tho glass
and saw a bright, sparkling faoed girl,
with a neat figure and quick, graoeful
motions. Sho know that sho was in
telligent and good tempered; she was
confident that hor judgment was bet
ter than that of most of hor compan
ions. Why should Bho not become a

When she entered tho classroom for
tho first time her eyes parsed over hor
comrades with a friendly but koon
scrutiny.
"How that girl dawdles over her

study. I mast show her. Curls do
not bocome that girl's faco. Whon I

her hair plain."
At the oud of threo years Lnoy
Peters roturuod home. Her father
came lor nor, anu listened to tho re
nort of hor nrorrress which thn nrinr.i.

said coldly. "Sho is a girl of high
priuoiples."
"You havo found her affectionate
and eager to please!" said Mr, Peters
anxiously.
"Yes."
But tho praiso was cold, and the
tcachor was apparently well pleased to
tako leavo of her admirable pupil. Mr.
Peters observed, too, that her school
mates showed no grief af parting with
Luoy.
"Havo you no ititimato friend whom

nf mn " lvemmler aaul so, nnd appko to direct

so that the oloctrodo pressed him hard
at the base of tho spine. 11a was
told to keep cool and at tho attend
ants woro fastening the straps with
nervous haste ho said: "Tako yonr

easy the binding of his chest. Tho in
sulated nook saddle was placed in
position, nnd as tho dangling mask
was being shaped for adjustment, ho
said, "Well, I wish everybody good
luck."
Then the mask was drawn acrosB
tho man's faco. It covered his t-yce,
tho fatal switch. Thero was a quiok
convulstvo start of tho bound figure in
tho chair, a littlo squeaking sound of
straining sirups, breathless watchers
with every seine bent upon the move
less wretch bound hoad, hand and
foot, and no sound savo bird song in
tho bright sutishluo outside thu wind
ows. After that convulsive start that
marked that stroke of lightning upon
Kemmlcr, thero was no movemont of
musclo nor twitching of norvo. Thn
features, from bridge of nose to ohin,
socmcd to havo pursed up as thoso
of onu facing tho sleety storm or of
ono breasting a powerful dust-bearing
wind.
But wa it doath! Who should say!
No man of scienco dared noar ills oar

thoro. The vicious virus from tho
machine's iron loins was yet flowing
through thrf man so lately speaking,
movintf thure. Thu law demanded
that thu ourront of olootricity should
bo maintained against his vitals until
death should como. But who should
tell when death had como.
And so thoy watohod and listened
in tho silont room, live, ton, fiftoon,

short, but to each ono thoro it Roomod
liko tho span of an hour.
THE CURRENT SHUT Ol'l".
"Thoro, that's onough; tako off tho
ourront," said tha warden's ohoson
physicians, MaoDonald and Spilzka,
and tho wardon passod a word within
tho adjoining room, whero somo ono
had lot on the current nnd whore tho

Toon Dr. Spitzka and other dootors

their fingors and watohed tho play of

away from tho ohair to a knot of wit
nesses at the other ond of tho room,
"thero is tha culmination of ton years'
work and study. Wo livo in a higher
civilization for this day.
A. SCENE OF HOmtOR.
But ovon whilo ho spoke, a sharp
ory wont up from those obsoly watch

Then moans of horrer from strong

triuians could soarco at first believe
their oyes were truo, but doubt was
banished quickly, for thero was another
movoment accompanied by a sudden
gasp, and thon tho breast begin to

Thou went lorth the cry ot sicken
ing horror at tho spectacle of a man

"Start tho ourrant, start tho cur
ngain," shoutod Dr.- Spitzka.
Others criod out likewiso to have the
harrowing scene brought to a closo.
All crowded about tho chair and
watohed tho laboring wretch whosa
breast, despite the broad, tight bands
about him, was rising and falling with
strong foros. Slightly foaming saliva
was oxuded from tho mouth, tho en-
tiro body racked in tho offjrts of the
organs to resume their functions and
deep fear fell upon somo lost conscious
ness should return.
Meantime G. G. Bain, of Washing
ton D. C, had faintod and lay upon a
bonob, whero he was being fannod.
This specla clo was continued from
6.45 until G.47 o'clook. Then thero
catno ngaiu to tho frail figure within
the chair and its bands anothor shook,
uuder whioh tho straps wero strained
again. Tho lungs, however, filled
again and again while tho current was'
pouring through tho unconscious body.
Tho warden and his electrical helper
wero anxious beyond moasuro aud two
and n quarter minutes after tho current
had boeu reapplied tiio switch was
oponod and shut rapidly two times.
Each timo tho body in tho chair was
lifted by thu shock, as though ono sit

burned at tho elbows and unfit tho
shoulders with such suddoness as to
lift tho body woll nigh clear. Tho
shoulders lifted to the level of tho tops
of tho cars and tho features contracted
as described.
THK 1IODVON FIRE.
Tho re-application of tho current
was continued from 0 -19 J to G.51
o'clock, intei milted twioo at tho switch
as described. At G.51 A. M. another
groan of dismay was heard near the
ohair, aud sinoko was observed ourling
up from Kcmmlor'a back.
"Ho's burning!" Hhoutod one.
'(Jut oil the ourreut! oned another.
"Ho's dead; thore's no uso keeping

else.
Again thu warden gave tho signal
to open the switch, and the body in
tho chair, surcharged with four distinct
shocks that had beou givon it develop,
od no further movement.
"Ho's iinqtieslionahly dead," said
Dr. MacDonnld, "and ho would never
