SHAVED THACKERAY'S BUST. Amrloa Cellcstor Didn't Like th Wbltkeri mud Bud Them Taken Off, Tk bust of Thackeray in Weatmin ter abbejr had eeveral years ago upon ita cheeka those pendant whiskers that are called "weepers" from their reaemblance to tht foliage of the wil low. To-day the whiskers are no longer there, tays a London paper. Their destruction was due to William H. Lambert, of Philadelphia, the great est collector of Thaekerajana in this country, who ha many portraits in oil and mnay in ink, pencil and wash sketches of Thackeray, and hence should know how the novelist looked at every stape of his Hf. Mr. Lambert is sure that Thackeray never wore "weepers," and, therefore, he volun teered not long since to stand the ex pense of the remoral of the objection able whiskers from the otherwise ac curate and spirited Marochetti bust. Mrs. Thackeray Ritchie arranged the matter; the bust was taken for a brief space out of Westminster and the whiskers were trimmed down to the proper length. Mr. Lambert was per mitted to have a replica made of the Westminster bust, and It now stands on one of the landings of the stairway of his house in Germantown. Daily Telspraph says that al along the coasts of Tsu c n l Iki Is'ands tne bodies of Russians are washing ashore pvery minute and they ure being reverently interred by the islanders. TIMES CHANGE. She Thought the Cnse Required Heroic Treatment. They had been married less than a your when she noticed that her husband stayed o.-.t late at nights and when lie did come home was apt to be noisy and demonstrative, says the Detroit Free 1'res. On his part William observed ihat he could never find n. knife to cu a bite to eat, and that even the family shears were out of reach, hile his raz ors at such times were locked up and the key hidden. He did not ay much, because he was not in a condition to talk, and when he w as sober he did vot care to refer to the past. But he grew worse instead of better, and one night he went home at a lau.' hour and found the hall brilliantly limited and on the table under the gas an assortment of all the cutlery in the house. Knives, scissors and razors al luringly open met his unsteadj' gaze. "M-M-Mary," he called, "w-w-what d-does t-t.his mean?" "It means," she answered, from the top of the staircase, "that ever since you've been cutting up in this manner I've been afraid you would do as you threatened to do kill yourself with .some of those things." "Y-y-ycs, MaTy." "Now I'm beginning to be rnor afraid that you won't, -o I thought I'd give you every possible chance."

"Who would ever believe that she is the mother of five children." These were the words that caught the ear of the Woman Reporter as she moved among- the throng at a fashionable reception. Just before her stood the hostess, a young-looking, hand some woman receiving her guests with that air of hearty vivacious enjoyment which ill the world considers as the special pre rogative of youth. There was sparkle in her eyes, a soft tlear uatuial color in her cheeks; she had a firm and rounded form, and that steady easy poise of the whole body which be tokens strong limbs and healthy nerves. It was the Reporter's business to be curi ous; moreover, she was a woman; and re ceiving gracious permission to call on the following day, she duly presented herself armed with a hundred such questions as only a woman can ask. "Yes, I have five children" said the hostess, with a tone of earnest happy pride; "hope I'll have five more. I love every one of them. They are good children too, and a comfort to" me all the time." 'You can't understand it of course, and my friends wonder that I keep my health and strength and do my work; but that I take care of myself is the reason. I never Chicago, June 3 Johann Hoch, con victed wife-murderer and confessed big amist, was sentenced ty Judge Kersten to be hanged June 28. Only a few per sona were in court when the sentence was pronounced. The passing of sentence came after a dramatic scene in court. Hoch forgave the prosecutors, the iurors, the people and the many witnesses who testified against him, and asked that God have mercy on their souls. He said : "I am convinced that my poor dead wife was murdered, but I am not her murderer." The case was before Judge Kersten today on a motion for a new trial. Af ter the Judge overruled the motion, Iloch's attorney made a motion praying tor a stay of sentence, but this was overruled. When the court asked if Hoch had anything to say why sentence I should not be pronounced, Hoch re plied : "Judge, I am willing to die tonight if I am guilty. I am innocent of the crime, but I will say now the dime was committed. God forgive you all. God have mercy on your souls. I have no feeling against you. If you think 1 am guilty of this murder, I am willing to have my life put out tonight." Ho h then sat down. He was self- possessed, but was ne'vous. Perspira tion covered his face, and he was very pale. Judge Kersten said : "The court has no doubt that this man put that poor, confiding woman to death, the woman HARD SKULL SAVES HIM. Mexican Receives a Volley of IJuIktx In the Jlestil and I.Ives. A Mexican wa.s condemned to death for stealing a can of kerosene, remarks the Uuffalo Express. He was taken out by a party of soldiers, received a volley oi bullets at close range, ami was left for dead. As soon as the soldiers had gone he sprang to his feet and walked to t he City of Mexico, many miles away, where he entered a hospital. The doe tors found three rifle bullets imlx dded in his skull, but he was not fatally in jured. Now the aul horit ie.s of the town which ordered him executed want him back in order to shoot him again. But he objects. He argues that if sub jected to the discomfort of execution a eecond time his health might be greatly endangered. There is logic in that. The man's plea ought to hold good. It is a serious menace to a man's health to be taken out and shot, and the fel low who survives the experience once fchould be spared a second exposure, in order that he may come to the state nnd go the rounds of the museums as the man with the iron skull.

Fernandez, of TampB, Fla., describing his fearful race with death, "as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which bad robbed me of sleep and of all interest in life. I had tried many different dootors and several medioines, but got no benefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters. So woq- deifol was their effect, that in three Hoch had sworn to protect, the woman j days I felt like a new man, and today I am cored of all my troubles." Guaran- who gave you her all."

This continued for 12 hours, and many of his men had their faces skinned. Some were brine-soaked, while others were bespattered with the warm blood of their wounded comrades. It is said that on the Knian Bhips men fell down, not on account of their wounds, but because unconscious from exhaustion." An engineer officer of the Russian de stroyer Gromski, describing the fight savs : "A Whitehead torpedo struck us right astern. Twenty-one officers and men, includ'ng our captain, were killed instantly. Jwenty-tnree others were shot overboard. The rmRining 25 ex plodel a charge in the destroyer and sank her. Then we plunged into the sea, expect'ng to be finished by th Japanese quickfiring guns, b it to our amazement we were rescued by the Jap anese." The captain of the Russian cruiser, Admiral Nakhimoff, desciibing the op erations preceding the battle, says: "On entering the Straits, Admiral Rojestvensky hoisted his signal ot bat tle, which read : "We must have not only a triumphant entry into Vladi vostok, but must sink part of the Japan ese fleet on the way.' " The captain ascribes the defeat to Rojestvensky's indecision and to the utter lack of communication between the Bhips.

" "Women break down because they go without the little extra help they need to tide them over hard places. When a wom an expects to become a mother she onjrht to be at her very best. But that is exactly the time when mot women feci weak and .sick and miserable. They grow melan choly and anxious as the time approaches and "when it comes they have no strciifftb or stamina of body or mind to go through the ordeal." "No wonder they suffer and nearly die sometimes, and are all broken down for months or years. If Uiey would, take the rijjht care of themselves and strengthen themselves in a natural way, they would never suiter as they do; and instead of dreading to have children they would wel come them as a real blessing." " It is simply a case of a 'stitch in time saves nine ' or rather nine hundred. A lit tle natural reinforcement at the time when baby is expected will save months, perhaps years of suffering and weakness. At such a time I always take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription; it invariably gives me the ex tra strength and healthy nerve-power which a woman needs to bring her baby into the World safely and comfortably." "It is the most wonderful thing in the world to build up a woman's nervous sys tem and strengthen the special organism of motherhood. It gives you the recuper ative power that a woman cannot jret in any other way. It carries you through the nursing time beautifully; it helps you to nourish tne DaDy ana make mm hearty and strong too. My four younger children are the sturdiest youngsters you ever saw. This one grand ' Favorite Prescription has made me the healthy, happy mother I am." "I can tell you of a dozen women who have had almost the same experience as mine. I saw a letter written by Mrs. Jennie J. Jackson, who lived at Fergussons Wharf, in Isle of Wight Co., Va. These are her own words: ' I have enjoyed better health since taking Dr. Pierce's medicine than I have since I have been married. I can work hard all day and sleep well at night. I was almost gone when I wrote to Doctor Pierce three years ago. I had uterine trouble very badly, but, thank the Lord, I am very well now. My doctor did not have any faith in 'patent medicines,' but he says, something has done you good.' I tried many different medicines and got no better until I tried Dr. Pierce's medi cines. The first bottle gave me ease. I have taken si ' bottles of ' Favorite Pre scription and I feel as well as ever in my life, and can work hard all day and do as much walking as I ever did. I was nothing but a skeleton. I was so thin in flesh that it hurt me to lie down." "I think Dr. Pierce has done more to ward making healthy, happy women than any other man in this country."
