Princess Anne and Marion, near which lat5 ter town the crime wa9 committed, it was 1 attflflflflMBi ta ^T>n v>ity^ flflflgfltlg P.ult-i more, where he was kept in safety until he was brought back to this place for trial. During the night a number of men assembled and agreed upon a plan of action. It was fully determined that no matter what the result of tho trial might be swift vengeance should be meted out to the prisoner. Shortly before noon Andrews was taken from the jail, where he had spent the night, and hurried through the street to the Court House. Howls and execrations followed his passage to the Court House; still, no attempt was made to interfere with the officers in the execution of their duty. The people waited until the legal machinery of the State had run its course. mt??I * ?11 o XII ill CUO Illisurrtlilb 3UVU1U Uli. aa nfjAvva, no matter what the verdict. They waited until the red tape had been rolled off. They said if he were sentenced promptly and* promptly executed they would be satisfied. The little court room was packed with determined-looking men, many of whom carried shotguns and rifles, as* the trembling prisoner, heavily manacled, was dragged ? to the bar. He was already half dead from terror, and his teeth chattered as in reply to the summons to plead he admitted his guilt. Without a moment's delay Judge Page sentenced him to be hanged, and then Sheriff Nelson and Deputy Sheriff Dryden seized him and attempted to take him back to the jail. The throng made way, but just as thoy reached the outer door "the mob closed on them. In an instant the Sheriff and his deputy were brushed aside and the prisoner, Bhrieking piteously, was in the hands of the mob. His cries and yells for mercy were scoffed at and stifled. Seized by a hundred hands, he was torn and thrust, first this way and then that, hardly a shred of clothing* being left upon his bleeding and bruised body half a minute after the mob had laid hands upon him. There was no preconcerted programme for this punishment. rrKti?.o ttcq r?r>f a hand in thft raflt throne that did not fight for a chance to batter his quivering body. Judge Page ran out of the court room and Implored the frenzied crowd to wait and let Iustice take its course, but he might as well lave appealed to the winds. Blind with lury, the mob continued to rain kicks and blows on the prisoner until he fell insensible. By this time life was probably extinct, but while some of the crowd began to scatter in search of a rope others drew their revolvers and emptied them into the prostrate body. When the mob had fully glutted its vengeance-it dispersed, leaving the mangled corpse lying on the Court House iteps. * ** oAmo flmo Vw\xra A1 LCI lb UUU 1UIU kUViV cwtuv kiiuv wvihT tied a rope round the neck and the body was hoisted to a limb of the nearest tree, where it again became the target for a Bcore of pistol bullets. While this was going on women stood by execrating the victim and applauding the swiftness with which vengeance had been wreaked on him. The body remained dangling for hours before it was cut down and removed by the orders of the Coroner. No attempt at disguise was made by any of those who participated in the lynching, among whom were many of the most respected citizens of the town and vicinity. The act of tne mob is almost universally annlauded in the community, and it is openly boasted that no man will ever bo judicially executed in Princess Anne Ceunty for the crime Tor which Andrews suffered. The general opinion is that it is well that troops were not sent to the scene, as this would, as in the recent case at Urbana, Ohio, only have resulted in a confliet, and consequent deplorable loss of life. No violence was offered to the Sheriff or his deputies, but in the temper in which the mob was there is no doubt that it would have fared badly with them had they offered any serious resistance to the capture of their prisoner.

T? r PiOA TfT i a ^QrvA/tlon A nraal' ortft AJU -A. aou, i r. Ann, a ? cca. OfjV two American prospectors found in the foot hills of the Sierre Madre on the Puetas Verdas River, thirty-five miles southwest of Casa Grande, in the State of Chihuahua, MqxIco, all that remains of Francis Sohlatter, the "Divine Healer," who, a year ago, was the subject of much wonderment throughout the Western States, particularly in the Southwest. The prospectors' attention was attracted to his camp by espying a saddle astride a limb in a dead tree high up in a gorge through which the river runs. Schlatter's skeleton was found lying stretched Pi ff FBANCIS 8CHLATTEE. (The "Divine Healer," whose skeleton has been found in Mexico.) out on a blanket close up to the tree. His bones were bleached white, and alongside lay the copper rod and a miniature baseball bat. Piled up alongside the trunk of the tree were saddlebags, a large memorandum book, a package of letters bound by a rubber band, some blankets, and six suits of underwear. A Bible and a canteen were alongside the pile, and the canteen was half full of water. The saddle ropes and some extra clothing were directly over the skeleton on a limb of the tree. In a knot hole In the tree were found needle, thread, and buttons. In the inside cover of the Bible was inscribed the name "Francis Schlatter," under two verses In prayer followed, by the signature "Clarence J. Clark, Denver, Col." There were no signs of violence, and the prospectors believe Schlatter died of self-imposed starvation, as there were no cooking utensils of any kind in camp. The Jete Politico at Casa Grande was notified on May 30, and on June 2 the skeleton and effects were brought to that village, where the authorities hold them awaiting a claimant. Casa Grande Is situated fifteen miles from the present terminal of the Rio Granda, Sierre Madre and Pacific Railway ?a new line for the past year under construction from El Paso to Casa Grande.

The horse was hobbled. A Mormon cowboy said that daring the month of November last Schlatter rode up to his camp, fifty miles west of Casa Grande on a gray horse. He was unarmed, carried no provisions or cooking utensils, refused to eat anything, and said he was fasting. The cowboy said his visitor seemed strange and preoccupied, and during the few hours at his camp cured the cowboy's horse of a swelling on the back and forelegs by rubbing his hands over them. He identified the saddle at Casa Grande as that of his visitor in November. It bears the marks of a Denver manufacturer. Francis Schlatter, three years ago, was a shoe cobbler in Denver, and earned a precarious living at his trade. Ho began to hear "silent" voices, as he said, and iu ODGUIOIICQ to llicu uvuiuiuuuo guvo unuj his tools and began a pilgrimage toward the Pacific Coast. He was arrested several times as a vagrant and thrown into jails, He footed the entire distance, and returned to New Mexico, where he was heard ol among the Indians as the messiah in the early part of last year near Albuquerque. The newspaper reporters discovered that he was followed bj mobs of Indians and thnt he cured the sick by touching the afflicted with his hands. He fasted for forty days, laboring continuously, and went to Denver, where he was besieged daily by immense throngs from all parts of the country. He suddenly disappeared from there when some fakirs were arrested for selling handkerchiefs blessed by him, against whom he was summoned as a witness. He was soon afterward found in New Mexico, traveling through the most uninhabited part, going southward. He was last seen by coyboys near Lordsburg, nine months ago, going toward the Mexican line.

It is almost a V pity to give away these trade seerets, bat W they are public now in sworn testimony. 1 After reading this the bibber will do longer smack tils lips, look wise ana give expression to a deep, satisfied "A-h-h-h" after w glass of his favorite tipple. W. A. Taylor,] wine merchant and expert, to-day sworn that certain foreign firms on labels of some wines have no existence In fact. Fine cog-' nac, he said, could be made from roasted > almond shells and essential oils. This drink, he said, would fool the average drinker. In' ^ bottling wine for retailers or private stock,i i the sellers put the names of the buyers and | other marks on the "Imported" casks or - J bottles. In clarets, for Instance, some of 1 the bottles may be labeled "Medoo" and! some "St. Julian." In illustrating he said:j "A party of gentlemen may go into a cafe,' and one man says, 'I guess I'll take a St.. j Julian,' and another says, 'I don't care for! , that; I'll take Medoc.' Well, in most cases, * these gentlemen are fooled, and both wines generally come from the same cask." Con-L tinuing, Mr. Taylor cited a case in point,' where an Italian dealer had sold a case of, Italian yermoum lur c^.w. ac gmu wd duty on this was $1.60, and the freight 14 cents, so the dealer sold th? "imported' \ stuff" (or just 86 oents (or a dozen bottles. "Bordeaux" the same dealer sold (or $1.66 for a case of twelve bottles, -where the duty and freight alone would have cost $1.82. Now, one would imagine that all this stuff sold under bogus labels and fraudu- j lent all the way through goe3 simply to the ! lower class of Bowery saloons and Tender-' loin cafes. That is where the mistake is made, as the next question brought out. The witness in his testimony admitted that the largest hotels here, of the "highest' 1 class," bought wines and cordials from him . in bulk. He bottled and labeled the bottles "St. Julian" and "lledoc" and "Margau.", It n.11 hn auM pamfl from the same cask and fooled even the delicate palates of the> hotel habitues. That the smaller dealers are not alone In this Imposition on the stomachs of this country was shown from, '. the Vice-President of the Wine and Spirit Traders' 8oclety that he himself had bottled a hogshead of St. Julian for bottles variously labeled "Medoc," "St. Julian", and "Pon^et Canet." Evidences of Improvement. In Archbishop Ireland's work, just pub'! lis lied, he has an interesting chapter on. "Intemperance and Law," In which he estimates that throughout the United States' 6,000,000 persons frequent barrooms and ia-j dulge immoderately In alcoholic drink,] writes Bobert P. Porter. It is estimated that the annual drink bill of the countryi falls but little, if at all, under the enor-H moue sum of one billion dollars. These es-1 timates were based undoubtedly on the ures of ten years ago. The Archbishop, if he has not consulted the more recent flg-! 1 ures, will be glad to learn that there are ' i evidences of improvement in this respect,; and that more recent statistics cut the total down to 8862,000,000, which, when we! consider the Increase of population, Is s' good showing. In comparison with the, United Kingdom, the United States has! every reason to feel gratified, as the per capita expended for alcoholic drink is 817.15 in the one case, against $10.20 in the other. Part of this difference may be due to the fact that alcoholic beverages are undoubtedly cheaper here than on the other; side, but a considerable part of the de-j crease may be directly traced to the excel-1 ; lent temperance work done.?Picayune, Virtues of Water. Dr. George Henry Fox, professor of dis- , eases of the skin in the New York College] of Physicians, says: "It is quite certain! '-.V that few people drink too much water andj I feel sure that many unpleasant feelings' and symptoms of actual disease would I quickly disappear if the sufferers ap-l preciated the value of this best and cheap-; est of all remedies (pure water)." Dr.! , Charles L. Dana, professor of nervous dis-] eases in the New York Post Graduate!
