Han Qdkntin', Cut., Jan. (1. Theodore
Durrant Iiiih only n fow hours to live.
Tliu barriers that liavo bo long kept him
from tin) gibbet hnvo boon Bwopt aside
tuiri tlitt end la nuur. After tho federal
judge had denied his petition yesterday
for a writ of habeas corpus, and had re
fused to allow him to take an appeal to
the supreme court of tho land, there
wua hut one recourse and that wub
to appeal to tho governor for clemency,
it looks us if Governor Jludd's action
will he adyurac to the condemned man,
iih he liaa instructed Warden Halo to go
ahead with the execution and use extra
care to prevent an attempt at Biiicidu by
tint condemned man.
Durrant la breaking down rapidly
enough now. He teems to have put all
hope out of Iiih thoughts. It hardly
Hi'uniH that ho will make a brave show
on the ?caflbld or that he will he in any
condition in the laat moment to carry
out hia intention of makinc u farewell
upeech.
Diirnuit's father hits confessed to
Warden Hale that he haa given up all
hope, and entera into the minute details
of tho hunting with pitiable despoil
doncy. The warden promises that no
vulgar curioaity on the part of medical
men or anybody else will lie gratified
ufter the body haa been cut down, and
aaya alao that the corpse will be delivered
to Durrani's parentB immediutely after
the execution for what ever diapoaition
tliey cliooae to make of it.
Nearly i!00 invitationa liave been is
aued for the banging, and it ia aaid it ia
believed that fully 17G persons will be
present. Tho warden has been notified
that bogus invitations havu been printed
and aold in San Fruiiciiico, and every
i-nril iiniHiHitiul nt. the iutn will be riuidlv

In speaking of the.Dnrrant caae, Gen
nil Dickinson, of Durraut'a couuael,
mil :
"No one will have permission to in
erview the condemned man before he ia
iaugud,aa I have authority in the matter
mud havu given strict orders that no one
tuhall see him. If the unfortunate man
must die, I believe in letting him spend

Owing to tho fact that some cometery
associations refuse to receive it, on ac
count of the notoriety that would result,
ithe elderly Durrant threatens to bury
Ithe body under tho broad waters of the
pacific. Friends aro trying to induce
ithe stricken parents to have the remaina

A startling incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia, wbb the subject
ia narrated by him aa follows: I was in
a most dreadful condition. My skin
wiib almost yellow, eyoH sunken, tongue
coated, pain continuully in hack and
aides, no appetite gradually growing
weaker duy by day. Three phyaicianB
had given mo up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying 'Electric Bitters,' and to
my great joy and surprise, the first bot
tle made a decided improvement J con
tinued their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they aaved
my lite ami robbed tho grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try them.

Ah the "count of noses" stands now
with the steering committees Hanna ia
beaten. The opposition has b majority
on joint ballot of , three or four on the
concessions of Republicans who are sup
porting Hanna. The opposition claims
from six to seven majority aguinat Hun

ccbbioiis.
i'reaauro from the cotiBtituenta of the
bolting Republican members is increas
ing every day and is likely to be over
whelming it its extent aud intensity by
next week.
Tho moBt Important development to
day wiib a conference in favor of Jepthn
Garrard, of Cincinnatti, silver Repub
lican, as the man on whom the oppo
sition will try to concentrate against
Ilauiia.
Some Democrats refuse to vote for a
Republican, like Ruehnell, Kurt, and
McKisBon, who have not been pro
nounced for free silver, but say thoy
would vote for Garrard. Tho silver
Democrats prefer Mcleau, and they
tried to get up a compromise for Garrard
for the short term and McLean for the
long term, but the Republicans opposing
Hanna Bald they could not vote for a
Democratic Bonator.
The opposition haa prepared a bill lo
reapportion the congressional districts.
This ia intended as a strike at the Re
publican congressmen who are here
working for Han mi.

trouble Is very diBtroasing, very obsti

most dangerous of diaenses begin with
simple indigestion. The reason is that
indigestion (not digestion, not nourish

disease germs to attack it. This anti

NOVEL WORK FOR WOMEN
Odd Occupations Followed by tho
Fair Sox in London.

Looked for Next New
Field nt Labor.
It has been left to London to organ
ize 'an institution that will give the new
woman a decidedly new Held.
The women's institute promises to be
the most unique institution that ever
was created for the gentler sex.
Anions the chief occupations which
those who place themselves under its
protecting- wings will be trained in arc
those of if(,r walker and hotel porU'ress.
The first of these callings is as novel
ns it is surprising. Certain families
have dogs which need exercise. There
are no grounds attached to the homes
of these dog owners, and therefore the
only way for the pets to enjoy fresh air
is to be walked up and down the side
walk, .after the fashion of the dogs be
longing to the flat dwellers in New
York.
.Now, the dog walker knows all nbom
clogs. She calls at houses where she
has learned canines ore kept and pre
sents a card, on which is printed in neat
script: "Miss Dolly Periwinkle, Walker
of Dogs."
To the person, who receives the card
tho lady states that for so much per
month she-will guarantee to take a dog
and trot him about the streets twice a
d-..y, each trip to consume. .10 minutes.
This gives the dog an outing of an hour
a day, and as the charges rarely exceed
three shillings a week it is believed the
dog walker will find lier occupation
both profitable and pleasant, provided
the dog permits it.
Some of the feminine dog walkers
whom the women's institute has al
ready placed have been bitten by ill
tempered charges. Such eases are all
the more sorrowful, because the dog
walker makes an. agreement that if the
clog oites her she will make no fuss
about it, but accept the bite in the
spirit in which it is offered.
The dog walker is required to give
security for the animal bhe takes tem
porarily under her care, and this diili
sulty has been remedied by a bond
given by the women's institute and in
dorsed by one or another of the patron
esses, whose name is as good as gold.
The pleasant-faced dog walkers have
met with very good success, but those
with apparently unkind dispositions
June found their new profession very
unprofitable.
Experience as hotel portei-esses- on
the part of the proteges of the women's
institute have not ais yet produced any
great results. About .he only class of
women who can handle big trunks and
matters of that sort neer heard of the
women's institute and were not partic
ularly anxious to make its "acquaint
ance. Where women have only found it
necessary to carry hand baggage they
have .succeeded very well.
Other lines in which the proteges of
the institute hnve begun to engage are
billposting aid pnperhnnging, in each
of which they have achieved fairly ex
cellent success.
It is the aim of the institute to fur
nish to women new fields to occupy.
The members' believe that woman
shoulcl invade tho ctonialn of man to
n far greater extent than heretofore,
a nil that there arc very many callings
at which that tyjx1 of woman with more
strength than brains could make ex
cellent livings, where now they are
quite likHv to lack the necessaries of
life.
The institute members claim that
woman has proved to be a good farm
er, and, that being the oase, there is
no reason wliy she sliould not succeed
in thoFe lighter occupations of man in
the cities which call for no greater de
gree of fctrength in manual labor than
is exercised by the women who farm.
The noxt stpn that the institute pro-
. posofl to take is to secure a number of
enb" and Imve them driven by women.
