Twenty-five Years In Prison.

Flaherty's Second Time on Earth.
Through two legislative administra
tions Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth,
founder and head of the Frisou league.
Volunteers of America, sought to ob
tain the pardon of James Flaherty,
om-e of Brooklyn, who some twenty-
five years ago received a life sentence
for the alleged murder of his wife. A
few days ago Mrs. Booth received an
envelope from the executive mansion
In Albany informing her that Flaherty
had been pardoned by Governor
Hughes.
When Flaherty began to serve his
term in Sing Sing be was told by the
late Foster L. Backus, who convicted
him, that at the end of five years the
assistant district attorney would en
deavor to secure his release. When
Mr. Backus wrote to ask about Fla
herty, the prisoner he had In mind bad
been transferred to Auburn, and as an
other prisoner of the same name had
Just died the warden wrote back that
the man in whom Mr. Backus was in
terested was dead. Flaherty in Auburn
was forgotten for ten years until Mrs
Booth came across him.
Flaherty, carrying a bird cage in
which were two canaries he had bred
in prison, arrived the other day at the
Grand Central station, where he was
greeted by Mrs. Booth, says the New
York Times. At the same time there
arrived by express two dogs, also bred
In Auburn by Flaherty, who as a
“trusty” bad earned many privileges.
Even before he arrived at Forty-sec
ond street Mrs. Booth's organization
welcomed him. At One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth sireet Bernard Sullivan,
one of her secretaries, boarded the
train. At the Grand Central station
Mrs. Booth had a carriage waiting for
Flaherty. He drove with Mrs. Booth.
Mr. Sullivan and Miss Vera Marshall
of the Prison league toward the Twen
ty-third street ferry, where he was to
take a train for Hope Hall, Mrs. Booth’s
Institution in Rockland county.
As the open carriage passed west
ward through Forty-second street Fla
herty. a small, quiet mannered man of
fifty-five, dbl not appear to be able or
to wish to refashion the old time Man
hattan His eyes never left Mrs
Booth's face. She pointed out the sky
scrapers.
“It's very wonderful,” he said. “Be
fore 1 went away they had only five
and six stories to their buildings. I
don’t ivtuif bolds these buildings up.
The whole city looks to me as though
It would fall t > ruins some day.”
Even on tin* way across the river
Flaherty did not trouble to look out of
the window
“Is tins the North river?" he asked.
“I have come into port on this river
many times when I was a fireman on
flners."
On Ihe Jersey side he asked to have
a minute alone v. ith Mrs. Booth.
“I realize all that you have done for
me.” he told her. "and for the future I
am determined that I will never do
anything that will cause you pain.”
Accompanied by Mr Sullivan he took
a train for Hope Hall, where he will
have charge of a cottage in which the
wives and children of prisoners will be
quartered for country visits in the sum
mer
At his trial Flaherty admitted that
he and his wife had been drinking on
the day his wife was found dead. It
was contended on his behalf that his
wife had fallen while helpless Into
such a position that her breath bad
been shut off and that she had died of
strangulation. This Assistant District
Attorney Backus was half inclined to
believe.
Last of the Bad Indians.
Most writers who picturesquely mix
their fact and fiction to paint pictures
of the west that is no more have over
looked the most genuine surviving rel
ic of red days on the border, says the
Outing Magazine. In a government
“shack” on the outskirts of Fort Sill.
Ariz., thrives an aged man of some
eighty summers. Wrinkled and bent,
puttering around the post seeking
small coin from visitors or being loan
ed by the government as a drawing
card for “world's fairs" and other ex
hibitions is this battered old red man.
Gerouiiuo. who baffled the armed force
of the Fnited States for many years, j
whose pursuit and capture cost the !
taxpayers $1,000,000 and nearly depop- I
ulated the territory of Arizona during !
bis murdering, plundering raids of a i
generation ago. He Is the last of the '
“bad Indians” who wrote red pages in
this country's history’ and the most
notorious of them all, this Apache
whom General Miles declared with
great sincerity was “the worat Indian
that ever lived.”
SKIN DISEASES
HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, •mootli
and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circt*-
la lion its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the aci3
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through ths
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter. Psoriasis,
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually
with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there
flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense.
It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other part*
of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds 1
the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it/*
hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face fn the

treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S.
It neutralizes the acids and removes th*
humors so that the skin instead of being
irritated and diseased, is nourished by *
supply of fresh, healthy blood. External
applications of salves, washes, lotkms, etc^
while they soothe the itching caused by
skin affections, can never cure the troubl*
because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation
and forces out every particle of foreign matter and restores the blood to it*
normal, pure condition, thereby permanently curing every form of skin
affection. Book on Skin Diseases and any medical advice desired aexi* frat

A “Spotless” Town.
Holland can boast of an actual “spot
less town.” In the village of Broek
housewives sweep the streets and dust
the windmills. Broek Is said to be so
clean and the housekeepers so finicky
about dust that tourists find it a most
oppressive place to visit. One Is re
quired to take off his shoes before en
tering a house. Pipes are not per
mitted unless the bowl is covered by a ,
Ud. Persons arriving on horseback are j
compelled to dismount and lead the
horses through the village, and all cat
tle are kept on pasture land outside the
town.
