The Strangler of Paris Satisfies
Offended Law.
Story of His Crime, Flight to
America and Capture.
Michael Eyraud, tho Strangler. has been
executed by the guillotine in Paris.
The crime for which Michael Eyraud suffered
death was the strangling to death of a
notary named Toussiant Gouffe, in Paris, in
July, 18S0, with the assistance of Gabrielle
BomparJ.
Owing to the stern rules of the French administration
of justice in such cases, only the
most meagre details of the manner in which
the stranger facsd death are obtainable. It
is certain, however, that he died with fortitude.
When the Governor of La Rocquette
Prison, accompanied by the chaplain, entered
the cell of the condemned man, ne was found
to be already completely and neatly dressed.
When invited to drink a glass of cognac.
Evraud shook his head in declination. All
efforts by the chaplain, Abba Faure, to administer
religious consolation were declined.
When Eyraud had been pinioned to the
plank the Abbe Faure bent over him to place
upon his forehead a last kiss. With so much
of contemptuous movement as kis bonds
would allow, and with an air of sullen resentment,
the strangler repelled the priest.
Then straightening himsslf out Eyraud
waited the knife.
A moment later the great knife dashed
downward and the murderer's head fell
away from the body and dropped into the
sawdust-filled bucket baneath the platform.
Death came simultaneously with the blow of
the knife.
The body of Eyraud has been handed over
to his relatives.
Eyraud's Career.
Eyraud's career was a deplorable one. At
the age of thirteen years his conduct was
such tnat his father was obliged to send him
to a reformatory. When nineteen years old
he enlisted in a Chasseur regiment from
which he was transferred to the Foreign
Legion. He served in the war between
France and Mexico. He deserted from his
regiment and joined the guerrillas under
General Juarez, to whom he betrayed the
position of the French forces. For this crime
ne was tried by a French court martial and
v condemned to death. The amnesty of 1869
enabled him to return to France. After his
return he led an adventurous life, committing
robberies and other crimes.
Gabrielle's acquaintance he made on the
street. She is not really beautiful,but a graceful
figure, piquant face and pretty eyes have
gained for her the sfeubriquet of La Belle
iiohi?ulio
Early in July, 1889, the funds of the firm
were running low and the thought came of
inveigling some rich man to Gabrielle's
house and robbing him. Remi Launly, a
lawyer of good practice and fifty years of
age, was at first selected, but was afterward
discarded for Gouffe, who was reputed to be
wealthy. The murder was carefully planned.
A block and tackle was inserted in the ceiling
of the room and concealed by a curtain.
J Gabrielle was to playfully place her girdle
about Gouffe's neck and pass the ends to
Eyraud, who was to be stationed behind the
? curtain. He was to attach the ends to a
rope, which he was to pu 1, lifting Gouffe in
the air and strangling him. A large sized
trunk to hold the corpse was procured and
Gabrielle made a bag in whicn to put the
dismembered remains.
The evening of the tragedy Gabrielle and
Eyraud dined at a restaurant near the
Madalaine. They drank champagne freely
and at half-past seven o'clock arose from the
table. Gabrielle went immediately home
and Eyraud soon followed and concealed
himeplf. It was not Ion? before Gouffe at>
psared. according toa^resmsnt. He at once
sat down to talk to Gabrielle. The crime
was committed as it had been planned.
When they lowered Gouffe he was dead.
They searched his pockets, but found only
?30 there.
After the murder Eyraud took off all of
Gouffe's clothes and th m cut up the body,
putting the pieses in the trunk, an l left the
house, leaving Gabrielle there alons with it.
Gabrielle took his. money aud keys. Eyraud
went to his office and without a light he
hunted about in the dark, but found nothing.
He then went baqk to the Rue Trousan du
Coudray and thence horns, where he slept
heavily.
The next day they set out for Lyons with
the corpse in the trunk. It was deposited
in a ditch and subsequently found. An inquest
was held, but the man was not identified.
He was quietly buried in a common
grave, in which other remains were deposited
at the same time. The official who was responsible
luckily tied a bit of string around
Gouffe's feet and.wh?n an examination was
ordered the body was identified by this
v meats.
Meanwhile Gabrielle and Eyraud came to
America. They lived awhile in New York
City aud then made their way to the Pucific
coast. While there they met a Frenchman
named Garanger. He was returning from
Japan when he met Eyraud and Gabrielle.
Eyraud and Garauger agreed to start in
business together and Garanger advanced
$1000. Eyraud asked the latter to take his
daughter, as he called Gabrielle, back to
France.
Shortly after their arrival in Paris Gabrielle
^showed Garanger u copy of Le Petit
Jouhxal containing an account of theGouffe
crime and confessed that she was the Gabrielle
mentioued in it. At his suggestion she
went with him to the Prefect of Police and
told the story of the crime.
Then began a thorough search by detectives
through Canada, the United States and
* Mexico for the chief criminal. Last May he
was discovered in the Hotel Rowa,in Havana,
where he lived under the name of Miguel
Doski. Arrived iu Paris he soon yielded to
the close questioning of the police and confessed
all his guilt.
A remarkable feature of the crime was the
attempt to show that the Bompard woman
was not morally responsible for the part she
bore in the crime; that she acted under
hypnotic influence, obeying the suggestions
of Eyraud. The defence was ingeniously
offered and well supported, and may have
had some effect in saving Gabrielle from the
. full penalty of her crime. Strong effects
were made to secure a commutation of
Eyraud's sentence, but without effect
A SHORT REVOLT.
An Abortive Attempt to Create a
Portuguese Itepublic.
A tremendous sensation was caused at
Oporto, Portugal, by what may turn out to
be a revolution against the authority of the
Government Three regiments of infantry,
comprising a part of the garrison,
openly revolted. The remainder of
trie garrison, including the Muuicipal
Guard remains loyal to the Government.
The population of Oporto held aloof from the
movement. It is alleged that the object of
the mutineers was to establish a Portuguese
republic.
Shortly after the beginning of the revolt
the insurgent troops and a portion of the
Fiscal Guards, led by two non-commissioned
oflBoers, seized the Hotel de Ville, in Dom
Pedro Square, and proposed to there and
then declare a republic. However, a strong
body of loyal troops, composed of artillery
and fusileers, promptly surrounded and laid
siege to the Hotel de Ville. When that
building was well surrounded the artillery
opened fire on it, and soon caused
the bricks to fly about the heads
nrhrt /lofpndwl thp hllilHincr
The bomoardment ot the Hotel de Ville by
artillery was followed by a combined, wellled
and cleverly directed infantry attack
upon the insurgents' fortress. The fusileers
behaved grandly, keeping up a rattling
fire and advancing at the same
time. The result was that, after a
feeble resistance, the insurgents surrendered
unconditionally. The loss on both sides was
slight. The insurgents will be tried by
court-martial, and, in all probability, the
ringleaders will be shot.
Tbe storekeepers have thrown down the
barricades from the windows and doors of
their houses, and everybody is congratulating
everybody else that the insurgent outbreak
was not so serious as people at first expected
it would be.
The number of national banks in the
South is 590, with an agigregate capital of
490,763,705. an increase during last year of
104 banks and $10,935,000 jn capital. Only
two South irjj national bosks failed during
tbe/ear 1890.

HEAVY BUT JUST PUNISHMENT.
The old liquor dealer who sold spirits to
Dartmouth students received a sentence
which virtually places him in jail for the re- 1
mainder of his natural life. The punishment
was heavy, but it was richly deserved, for
there is nothing meaner than tnis corrupting
of youth. College boys are usually eager to <
take advantage of any liberty, and many of
their escapades are simply the result of high
animal spirits, but the encouragement of
drinking does not fall under the head of fol- j
!y, but of crime. It is so hoped that no j
Governor of Vermont will pardon this old
rascal, but that he will be allowed to spend ]
the rest of his dnys behind bars.?San. Francisco

CENSUS FIGURES CONCERNING ALCOHOL. j
The census office has issued census bulletin ]
No. 22, which embodies the preliminary report
on the quantity of distilled spirits con- 1
eumed in the arts, manufactures and med:- i
cines in the United States during the year
ended December 31,1689.
The report shows that the total amount of
all forms of distilled spirits consumed by wholesale
druggists and manufacturer?, elee- <
raosynary institutions and retail apothecaries ,
amounted to 10,976,8-12 proof gallons. This ,
report is the first ever made which was at all 1
trustworthy, as previous reports of the same j
nature were merely estimates made bv <
! various parsons, based upon such miscel]
laneous information oa the subject as could
easily be secured. 1
Of the total number of gallons of distilled ]
i spirits consumed in the United States in 1889, .
6,745,152 gallons of alcohol, 2,029,990 gallons' ,
of whisky, 1,453,048 gallons of cologne spirits, 1
266,874 gallons of brandy. 222,295 gallons of ;
gin, 1S9.5SI gallons of rum and 75,992 gallons ]
of highwines, making the total consumption i
10,976.842 gallons.
Cologne spirit is used for many purposes ]
for which alcohol, on account of containing 1
certain impurities, would bo unsuitable. Thu j
is particularly true in relation to the preparation
of a large number of fine chemicals. s
Whisky, brandy, rum and gin are likewise <
used in the^manufacture of proprietary medi- (
j cities and certain pharmaceutical preparaI
tions. tinctures and medicinal wines.
It appears that alcohol, as such (in soma l
I cases dilute l with water), is used by certaift 1
I foreign elements. It is drunk to a great er- j
| tent by Poles, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns,
Hungarians and Russian?. Large dealers in '
| the Northwest familiar with this particular i
trade furnish the information that fully j
one-half of the alcohol sold in that section ,
is drank as a favorite beverage by those
| foreigners. Competent authorities in New i
York City estimate that about fiftesn bar- j
rels of pure alcohol are daily consumed for .
I drinking purposes alone in that city, and a i
I considerable amount is used for the same | !
| purposes in the coal regions of Pennsylvania i j
j and other sections, and a very considerable ]
quantity finds its way to the low grogshop-i
I of the country, where it is compounded into 1
| low-grade whisky and retailed over the bar. i
j The returns sent in from all the variou! ]
I sources of information sought by the censu i
i^ice have been compiled into variou i
tublfs, and show that out of the aggregat-.i 1
10,976,842 gallons of distilled spirits cor- \
suined during 18S9, the wholesale druggists i
and manufacturers usad 7,96ti,040 gallons,the
eleemosynary institutions used 102,790 gal- 1
Ions and the retail druggists used 2,907,413 i
gallons. (
In all the interests and spirits combiued
j New York led the States with 1,760,343 gal|
Ions, closely followed by Illinois, which is
credited with using 1,306,322 gallons; PenuI
sylvania is third ou the list with 1,142,941
gallons; Missouri comes fourth with l,u<l,(ib8
gallons, barely leading Massachusetts, which 1
took care of 1,018,0S0, all thesa figures repre
sent {.roof gallons. j
The eleemosynary institutions of the coun- ,
| try consumed 2327 ordinary gallons of |
j cologne spirits, and of this amount the DIs- I ;
trict of Columbia used 1433 gallons. (
In view of the fact that the retail drug- j
| gists are often accused of silling whisky, !
I brandy, rum and gin as beverages, the tabl'i I
i devoted to the retail apothecareies is espacially
interesting. New York druggists used
and sold 142,180 gallons of whisky in 18SH;
Missouri, 92,150; Massachusetts, 93,958; Indiana,
84,3(54; Illinois, 61,560; Kansas, 25,58i;
Iowa, 17,227, and Maine, 10,047. Massachusetts'
druggists used and sold 45,233 gallons
of rum in 1889, which was forty-five per
cent, of all the rutn used and sold by the retail
druggists of the country, and her retail
apothecaries also lead in the amount of gin
they consumed?27,405 gallons, as against
New York's score of 19,583 gallons.?Chicuyo

TEMPERANCE SEWS AND NOTES.
Mrs. Mary Clement-Leavitt has formed a
Woman's Christian Temperance Union at
I Naples.
Poverty never drives a man to drink unless
he wants to go; but drink drags a man
to poverty whether he wants to go or not.
Shares in breweries are held by twenty-six
members of the English House of Lords and
by forty-nine members of the House of Commons.
Temp?ranee work is growing in Japan.
The W. C. T. U. of Tokio has just held its
aunual meeting, and starts the New Year
with brightning prospects.
j The Carthage (III.) Woman's Christian
Temperance Union has rented the Opera
House there for public meetings. They siy
they "grew tireu of being refused the use of

In the German Empire, for the year ISO J,
the consumption of beer was lO.'i 3-10 quarts
for everv man. woman and philil Tn imi it
was only 97 'J-10 quarts. Thus progress is
shown.
According to the annual report of ArljGen.
McKtevtr. tbere are now in operation
about seventy post-canteens, where beer and
stronger liquors are offered to the soldiers of
tbo United States ariny.
Since the establishment of the Vienna free
kitchens the number of drunkards is said to
have greatly diminished. The medical profession
testify to enormous improvements in
tha health of the lower classes.
It is related of Henry H. Norcross,who died
in Somerville, Mass., recently, that when a
boy in Charleston, Me., he entered the store
of a Levant merchant as clerk. The second
morning he said to his employer that he
could not remain if he was to be required
to sell liquor. Some men would
have told him to go, but Benjamin B.
Vaughan was a man who could appreciate
a conscientious clerk. He kept the boy and
at once went out of the liquor business.
WORDS OF TVISDOtf.
Cowardice is patience run to seed.
A man gives good advice to his neigh
bor and keeps the bad for himself.
You occssionally see a man so prctt
lie won't marry, but you never see a ma;
so ugly he can't.
The average man would rather believ
he is right and suffer than to be cou
vinced he is wrong.
Man has only one lire on this oartb
and there are grave reasons to suspeci
that is one too many.
So many girls of sixteen who imagim
they are dying of broken hearts cai
scarcely wait until the dinner-bell rings
All a boy hears until he is grown i
that he is in the way when he is no
wanted and out of it when he's wanted
A well-known confidence operatoi
confesses that he can rob three wise men
while he is becoming acquainted with i
fool.
You have only to say that a woman ii
pretty to hear some one else in th
crowd say: "Yes, but she hasn't mucl
sense."
Every man is loaded, and there is f
fascination about thinking of the destruction
he could cause by shooting
himself off.
Tell the average man that his blood ii
out of order and be will purchase f
bottle of blood medicine and take oni
dose out of it.
The man who raises the roof with pro

promise not to repeat it.
How many times in the course of i
life a man says he can't stand it, anc
bow many times he feels that he has t<

How Fowls Converse.
ColmaiCi Rural World publishes thi
following interesting account of th<
language used by the inhabitants of thi
poultry yard:
"Fowls have undoubtedly a large)
vocabulary than any of the other domesti<
animals; yet in half a day you will prob
ably hear from them all the sounds that
they use in ordinary life. But anything
Dut of the ordinary is instantly expressed
in unusual sounds. I always know whai
is disturbing the flock, whether dog,cat,
hawk, or a stranger. The cry for s
hawk near at hand and a hawk far of]
seems to be the same word, but with ?
different emphasis and in a different key.
Woodchucks get the same greeting a;
cats,but louder and more emphatic. Once
[ was startled by sounds from the yard
which I had never heard before, and,
rushing to the rescue, I found a tame red
[ox dragging a broken chain trying tc
get through the fence. The new sentences
insisted of several words not complincntary
to foxes. I have never hearc
inything like them since. Very tam<
iicns often show a desire to talk to you,
ind it is usually possible to understand
their meaning. Once a Cochin, whost
pears and breeding entitled her to a sepa
rate perch.came and stood in front of me,
ooked me full in the face, and com
plained louuiy ot sometmng, i couiu not
:ranslate further. Patient investigation
revealed that one end of her perch had
ihpped down, and Mrs. Buff had no idea
jf sleeping on the inclined plane. An)ther
time a nervous little Leghorn met
lie at the hen-house door fairly screaming
and jumping with excitement. ]
anderstood, from the cackle which
anishcd each sentence, that she had been
Jisturbed on her nest. I did not wondei
it her ne-v powers of speech when 1
found the nest occupied by my cat and
three small kittens. When the chickens
3rst begin to move in the effg, just before
hatching, the mother hen siugs tc
them a low, crooning song, very sweet
ind never heard at any other time. A
friend tells me that her canary startled
aer one day by au entirely new call. II
svas so plainly "Come here, quick 1" that
;he hurried to the cage to find an enor
' J I L i.l_ -
raous cat, witn iace presseu against, mt
window-pane, staring in at poor Ned?c
Sanger sufficiently great to account foi
the new call. There are but two ways
by which one cau hear animals converse
One is by listening to them when thej
fire not aware of your presence, always i
difficult feat; the other is by winning
their entire love and confidence."
Where to Put the Stamp on a Letter.
It has become a custom which al!
thoughtful persons always observe, tc
place the stump on the upper right-hauc
corner of the envelope, but few peopli
have ever stopped to think what was th<
reason for this choice of position. Th<
canceling stamp and the postmarking
stamp aie fastened side by side upon the
?ame handle, and if the stamp is cor
rectly placed oue blow makes both im
pressions. If, however, the stamp is 01
the lower right-hand corner the post
mark falls on the address, and both an
iiinmhln while if the stanin is on th<
1
left-hand side, the postmark, which ii
always at the left of the canceler, doe;
not strike the envelope at all, and a sec
ond blow is necessary to secure it. So
if the stamp is anywhere except in th(
upper right-haud corner, it makes jusl
twice as much work for the clerk, anc
this, where he is stamping many thou
sand pieces every day, is no small matter
There has been in use for some time, ii
the postoflice in Boston, a number o:
canceling machines, into which the let
ters, all laced upward, are fed. Thcsi
machines, if the stamps are orrectl;
placed, do the work quite well, leaving
on the envelope the row of long blaci
lines which we all have noticed on Bos
ton letters.
I am not able to learn, however, tha
there is any other office in the couotry
as yet, which uses these. The Bostoi
nflipf* has also, ouite recently, out ii
operation a most ingenious machine fo
cancelling and postmarking postal cards
which differs from the other in th
greater rapidity of its work. Two hun
dred cards can be placed in it at once,
crank is turned, and click, click! the;

a" Fact.
(From an interview, X. Y. TTorVT).
In nn interview with a leading UruR-honae
the y. Y. Wor'cly Nov. 0,1600, gives the following
comment on the propietorsof reliable patent
medicines:
"He is a specialist, and should knowmoreof
y the disease he actually treats than the ordlnQ
ary physician; for while the latter may coma
across says fifty cases iu a year of the particular
disease which this medicine combats, its
manufacturer investigates thousands. Don't
e you suppose his prescription, which ytu buy
ready made up tor .7) cents, is likely to do
more good than that of the ordinary physician,
who charges you anywhere fro 11 S2 to
I. Sin for giving it.nnd leaves you to pay the cost
l of bavin; it prepared?
1 "The uatent medicine man. too, usually has
the good sense to confine himself to ordinary,
every-day disease. He leaves to the physician
e cases in which iheieis immediate danger to
. life, such as violent fevers. He does this because,
in the treatment of such cases, there
are either elements of importance besides
medicine, stich as proper dieting, good nurs3
ing, a knowledge of .he patient's strength and
t soon. Where t het c is no absolute danger to
life,where the disease ison^ which the patient
can diagnose for l imself or w.iicliS'ime ph?1?
cian has already determined, the p itent medicine
maker says fearlessly: 'I have a preparation
which is better tha i any other known
1 and which will cuievou.' In nine cases out
of ten his statement is true."
This is abs Uitely true as regards the great
} remedy for pain, St. Jacob's 0.1. It can assert
p without fear or contradiction, that it is a
c prompt nnd permanent cure of pain. It can
1 show proofs of cures of chronic cases of 20, 31

Story or a Whule's Pluck. I
"We have received the following letter
from Adelaide from Dr. Mannington
.'Caflyn: "I send you an instance of
j pluck on the part of a whale. As far as
I can learn it is the rarest thing for a
whale not to fear a steamer. Captain
. Hepworth, British Naval Reserve, of the
| steamship Port Adelaide, was taking his
; sights one morning when he noticed a
large sperm whale alongside, so closc
that his spouting wetted the deck. The
creature had evidently lost his 'school'
and mistaken us for one of his own
species. He remained with us for four
days and nights and traveled 890 nautical
or 1025 statute miles without a rest,
and, as far as one could gather, without
food. lie was never more than seventy
yards away, and for the most part close
against the ship, under her quarter
where the draught made swimming
easier for him. The length of the am- i
mal -was about forty-seven feet. The
first day he w^Tvery lively, diving frequently
beneath the ship's bottom, on
oue occasion scratching himself severely.
After that he kept close alongside like a
tired Newfoundland dog. "When he did
come- irp the children amused themselves
by throwing potatoes Into bis 'blow
holes,' which were ejected with great
force. If this monstrous mammal has
ary capacity for sorrow it must have been
a pathetic moment with him when a; hist
after his gallant struggle to stay with us
he had to throw up the sponge and remain
alone in the center of the Indian
Ocean."?Pall Mall (England) Gazette.
More than sixty companies for the
manufacture of cotton goods have been 1
organized in the South during the last
eight mouths.
An idol collector in San Francisco,
who has just died, had a collection of
500 little gods.
