Eczema Affected Whole System?Unable to Rest Night or Day?Suffered 4 Years?Cuticura Cures. i "1 suffered severely for four years from poison oak and ivy. My condition was Serious, as ?. could not rest night or day and be free from a terrible itching sensation from scratching on my hands between the fingers, my feet and face. I got the best of advice and treatment from six diffet-ent doctors who were anxious to cure me. One of the doctors told me that when the poison was cured, eczema (a worse Jisease) would follow, which became true. My eyesight was affected, and 1 went to i hospital especially for the eyes and got relief, but eczema got a terrible hold on my? lystem. I was about to give up all hope of ever being cured, yet I could not be reconciled to such results, as my health had been good and fres from any disease all my life. My age is seventy-three years. In my extremity I happened to read of Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases. I was anxious ?bout my condition and desired to evade tiny spurious imitation. This was in July, V>06, and 1 called on a certain druggist for the Cuticura Remedies. 1 bought fivo boxes Cuticura Ointment, also some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Pills as I required them.. In four weeks' treatment my face was smooth, and the itching gradually left my hands and feet and 1 could rest comfortably, for which I am grateful and flippy.. W.

New York City.?The cross-exam i ination of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw wai conciuaea at me iriai oi uer uusuauu Harry K. Thaw, for the killing o Stanford White, and the young worn an left the stand without having t( answer any further questions abou I the affidavit she is alleged to hav< j made on her return from Europe 01 October 2S, 1903, in which she is sak to have accused Thaw of many cruel ties. When Mrs. Thaw left the stand her appearance was in no wa; changed from that of the morning o: February 7, when she first began t< tell in direct examination the ston of the wrong she said she had re ceived at the hands of Stanforc White. Altogether she had beei about six court days in the witnes; chair and of these she was under th< fire of Mr. Jerome's cross-examina tion for more than three. Abraham H. Hummel, a disbarrec lawyer, by whom District Attorne] Jerome hopes to prove that Evelyi Nesbit Thaw signed a statement be fore a notary public retracting hei charg'es against Stanford White an< alleging that she was beaten with i cowhide by her husband, was the firs witness called. ' Only a few feet in front of thi disbarred lawyer sat Evelyn Thaw prim and sedate, in her schoolgirl at tire. The young woman, who had de . scribed Hummel as an "ugly littli man with warts," gazed at him un flincliingiy as Mr. jerome xriea i< elicit from him testimony that woul< show the vital points of her story, th( chief bulwark of the defense, to b< false. t After some sparring between coun sel, Hummel was allowed to'testif; that Evelyn Thaw came to his offlci on October 27, 1903. He had an ac quaintance with her extending t< 1901 or 1902, he said. He was thei asked if she had dictated the affidavi on which so much hinges, bu Delphin M. Delmas objected to tli< question and he was not allowed t< answer at once. Mr. Delmas parried nearly ever; question Mr. 'Jerome asked and th< prosecutor was finally compelled direct Hummel to leave the stand. Finally Jerome called Evelyn Ne3 1 bit Thaw back again to the chair. From the maw of his black bag hi fished out the young wife's owi schoolgirl diary, written by her bacl in 1902, when she entered the D. Mills Seminary over in New Jerse: on money furnished xby Stanfoti White. It had been put into lii: i hands by Evelyn Thaw's own mother Jerome read the five extracts fron the little book. Plainly he hoped b; quoting the girl's words to cast a sin ister shadow upon her viewpoint c life at that period?six months afte J she said Stanford White had wronge< I her in his room of many mirrors ' What he did succeed in showing wa ! that Evelyn Nesbit knew more abou I Broadway than most girls, of sixteei I know. I It was Jerome's valedictory stroke ' When he had got the diary into evi | dence, and had asked a few fina ; questions to close up a few raggei ends of evidence, he announced tha i the cross-examination of Harr; j Thaw's wife was practically ended. Five days of severe questioning b; the prosecutor had failed to shak 1 her remarkable testimony, and tb ; girl wife stepped off the stand smil i ing. Prior to this the District Attofne; ! had demonstrated that as Evelyn Nes bit was not above taking a letter o credit to Europe as a gift of th< architect, whom she professed to hati and loathe, she was also conten after her return from her unmarrie* travels with Thaw in Europe to livi in high priced New York hotels upoi j Harry Thaw's bounty even at thi I time when she was surrenderinj Thaw's letters to Hummel, was listen ! ing to and believing the stories of hi perfidy and brutality toward othe women and was once more enjoyinj the friendship and hospitality o ; Stanford White, her story of whosi I cruelty to her, she avers, had drivei I Thaw to desperation when she tol< t him its details in Paris. One of the witness' most surprisinj ! admissions was her constantly reiter ! ated assertion that, even after sh< j had made her Paris confessions t< Thaw concerning her former relation ; with Mr. White, Thaw, though hi i showed anger and indignation, mani j fested in her opinion no signs of in sanity. Mr. Jerome brought out the fac j that when these confessions of her: ; were made to Thaw in Paris am I when she had refused to marry hin i she was already sharing the sam? I apartments wittf him, and that the; subsequently had traveled ove j Europe together, living for a tim< in the Katzenstein Schloss, in thi Austrian Tyrol, where Thaw is al leged to have whipped her with ; cowhide, according to the statemen from which Mr. Jerome read anc framed his questions.

Washington, D. C.?Out of only two-fifths of the population of the United States more than half a million lives were offered up in 1905 as a sacrifice to disease. Startling as this death rate may seem it was less than that for the preceding year, bul was in excess of the number ol deaths registered for any other year. The death rate from nephritis and Bright's disease, apoplexy, cancer, diabetes and appendicitis is increasing, while that from old age, bronchitis, convulsions, peritonitis and scarlet fever is decreasing. The greatest death rate recorded for any one disease in 1905 was that from pulmonarytuberculosis, amounting to 56,770, while pneumonia folows closely with a death rate of 39,!)68, exclusive of broncho-pneumonia. The much dreaded cancer shows a steadily growing death rate, the figures being 24,330. The above are the more interesting facts brought out in a report Issued Dy the Census Bureau, giving the statistics of mortality for 1905* The statistics ifi this report are restricted to States in which the laws requiring the registration of deaths have been accepted as giving practically complete mortality returns and to cities in non-registration States in which satisfactory returns are required by tne local autnoriues. This registration area in 1905 consisted of ten registration States, the District of Columbia and 123 registration cities in non-registration States. The ten registration States were Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. The population of the entire area in 1900 was 30,765,618, representing 40.5 per cent., of the total population of the United States. The total number of deaths reported from the various kinds of diseases in 1905 aggregated 545,533, and those for the preceding year amounted to 551,354. On a percentage basis the death rate was in 1905 16.2 in each 1000 of population. The following figures show the death rates per 1000 of the reguistration States for 1905: Connecticut, 16.5; District of Columbia, 20.5; Indiana, 12.8; Maine, 16.2; Massachusetts, 16.8; Michigan, 13.5; New Hamshipre, 17; New Jersey, 15.8; New York, 17; Rhode Island, 17.1, and Vermont, 17.
