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.

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."
There was a sound of cutlery by
night, mingled with forcible though

IIocli Itrceiven Sentence.
A SOCIAL QUEEN.
"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.

Terrific Race With Death
"Death was fast approaching," writes
Ralph F. 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-

t:peclctl To lie Killed.
t,ord.vi, June 5 The folowirg are
extracts from dispatches 'o the Daily
Telegraph sent from various points in
Japan, relatirg to the naval battle:
" The commander of a Sapaneso tor
pedo boat says that heavy seas dashed
brine in the fyea of his crew, almost
binding them. 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.

never have another, but I have learned
better and 1 am stronger now than I ever
was in my life. "
"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."
