THE CLINTON NEW ERA
QUEER BEQUESTS.
Odd Notions That Aro Aired In Last Wills
and Testaments.
Duchess Dudley, dying In 1655, left 2100
($500) per annum for tho redemption of
poor English Christian slaves from tho
stands of "the barbarous Turk," and in
the year 1725 Thomas Bolton of Hoxton
proved his enmity toward his own kith
.and kin by nutting off his throe sons and
Ms brother Timothy with a shilling apiece,
while he showed his sympathy for his dis-
tressed countrymen by leaving the bulk of
MO property, about $125,000, in trust to
the Ironmongers' company. One-half of
the interest of this large amount he direct-
ed should be expended in ransoming Brit -
lab subjeots from slavery in Turkey or
Barbary.
.An old lady of Barton, Lincolnshire,
being once benighted on the Lincolnshire
woids, was able to diroot her steps by
the sound of the curfew bell from St. Pe'
ter's church. In grateful remembrance
she conveyed a piece of land of 13 acres to
'the parish clerk and his successors, on
condition that they and ho ring the bell
from 7 to 8 p. m, daily, Sunday excepted,
from the carrying of the first load of bar-
ley until Shrove Tuesday. Tile curfew
bell is still rung in England in some places
in accordance with old bequests.
Some persons had a curious predilection
for their own names–a predilection which
found vont occasionally in a puerile man-
ner. Thus one Henry Green loft his estates
to his sister, with the proviso that she
should give four green vests, lined with
green galloon, to four poor men every
Christmas, and his fellow townsman
Gray dlreoted that 0 "nobles" should be
spent annually in providing six old wom-
en with vests of gray cloth and 40 shillings
in providing three old mon with coats of
the same material.–Outlook.
-'Sow "Titus" Was Written.
"Of 'Titus' it must bo said that it was
the result of tho belief of my mother in
we," said Mrs. Florence Morse Kingsley,
telling in The Ladies' Homo Journal how
she came to write "Titus, a Comrade of
the Cross." "A favorite uncle wrote to
me that such a book was wanted and said:
'Write it. You can do it.' 1 010 not be-
lieve that Icould, but my mother insisted.
'You can. It is in you. Write the book.
It will be a success.' That year I was a
very busy woman, for I had a young son,
and 'Titus' was written with many inter-
ruptions. I would go off to write u chap-
ter, be interrupted by n baby voice, drop
my pen, rush down stairs to seo whether
there had been an accident of any sort or
whether my little folk wore having sono
special good time in which they wished
mo to join.
- "While writing 'Titus' I forgot all
about the possibility of its being a success
or failure; only I grew to love the story.
And yet it cane to me in an odd way.
The hours were so filled up that I seemed
to have no time to think, but •I have al-
ways been in the habit of waking early,
and when the sun was just rising those
lovely summer mornings it seemed as
though the story of 'Titus' came to mo in
a dream and as if I were compelled to
*rite it."
Discreet Silence.
An excellent piece of advice was that
once given to George Gray, a young Meth-
odist preapher, who Was a mere boy when
be began his work. Within a few days of
the time ho was 153¢ years old his mune
*vas un the records of an annual conference
as a traveling preacher–the youngest can-
didato ever received in the Methodist Epis-
copal church. He was sent to the Barre
circuit in Vermont.
As bo mounted Ms horse to set •east for
}lie appointed field of labor, a ,jaunt of
more than 200 utiles, his uncle, a llietlro-
dist of much shrewdness and humor, gave
him a parting address which he hover for-
got and to which he often referred in ;later
years.

George,"said he, looking upat the youth-
ful rider from under his shaggy eyebrows,
"for if you do so pretend the people will
soon find out that you are sadly mistaken,
bat neither," be added after a moment's
pause, "need you tell them how little you
irnow, for this they will find out seise

MONSIEUR DE PARIS.
A TALK WITH THE WORLD'S MOST
NOTED EXECUTIONER.
For Over Forty Years Ile }las Been Master
of the Guillotine – He Describes the
Method of Execution–Feels His Respon-
sibility Most Acutely.
Comparatively few Frenchmen are ac-
quainted–that is, personally acquainted–
with their dreaded and mysterious com-
patriot Monsieur de Paris, and it is no
easy hatter to colpo across him, for his
name is omitted from tho Paris directory,
and the police absolutely refuse to have
anything to say as to bis whereabouts.
However, being in Paris not so very
long since, and having some perhaps par-
donable curiosity concerning a ceremony
in which the guillotine plays the most
prominent part, I obtained a letter of in-
troduction to Monsieur de Paris, who is
the public executioner of France, known
in private life as M. Deiblor, and who, this ,
acquaintance of mine said, though of a
most retiring disposition, with a perfect
dread of notoriety and avoiding contact
with inquisitive strangers, more especial-
ly journalists, as much as possible, would
not bo found indisposed to give just a few
details of his by no means enviable pro-
fession.
",rust 41 years ago," said he, "I suo-
ceeded M. Roche, who had been valet to
tbo famous or notorious M. Heim/rich,
and with whom I served my apprentice-
ship in turn in 1855. I assisted him alto-
gether in 82 executions before I com-
menced business on my own account, so I
was no novice. Yet any first independent
performance was not an easy matter, I can
nssuro you, for the criminal, a youth
named Laprado, who had murdered his
father, mother and grandmother, resisted
so strenuously that I was compelled to re-
sort to methods the reverse of gentle.
However, the story of that execution got
noised abroad, and, though the Paris jour-
nalists were.very severe with mo and de-
clared that I lost my head as well as did the
wretch I executed,, since then I have
found lay clients less recalcitrant. Until
my appointment, I followed tho trade of a
tailor, and so fom a Shaker of garments
in second class emporiums I have worked
my way up; as you see, to be a first class
cutter in the government establishment."
And M. I)eiblcr laughed heartily at his
own rather ghastly joke.
I next ventured to ask if I could be al-
lowed a private view of the guillotine,
which its manipulator referred to as "la
5000hi00."
M. lluibier shook his head most decisive-
ly. "Lnpossible! Quito impossible! But
here is a model which will show you how
it is worked. It is all very simple. Tho
culprit is strapped on to this seesaw plank,
'vhith, toppling over, brings his neck into
this 5010kircular rine, called 'la lunette,'
where it IA Eccurcd thus. Then I touch
this button, the knife, which is heavily
weighted to mike it fall swiftiy, descends
with tremendous force, and tho head is
received ill a .tion Iran partially filled with
sawdust. 1s at 'riot simple now? I may
tell you that 1 .always keep '111 machine'
ready for use, Zs 1 am liable to bo sum-
moned at -a moment's notice. I 1111n sup-
posed to receive a full day's notice in Paris
and two Clays Sow ,the departments, but I
always hold Myself in readiness to start at
any moment, as 'so coon ns the day and
hour of aaa execution giro fixed by the eu-
thoritiestll:ere.is.a:greatdeal to be done in
a very short tail°.
"In Parss 1 make it a rule to pass the
night preceding ma :execution at the Ro-
• quette prison molts to be on the spot when
the two black vans–,auto containing the
`woods of justice' .and the other destined
to convey the .beady of ebbe culprit to Ivry
,cemetery --arrive at daybreak. Theo I
personally superintend dire installntlam of
Is machine and give :a dress rehearsal, es
it were, of the •.er n Hance with the .. n -
t eman who is •• take the leading role left
out. By this means I have always, with
one solitary exception, avoided any hitch
at the last critical moment. As soon as
the hour decided upon strikes the culprit
is banded over to my assistaart, who, to-
gether with the prison chaplain, escorts
him to the depot–his last station on earth
before reaching la machine–where his
toilet is performed. This does no take
long, for his hair and beard have been ,kept
close cropped since his condemnation. Be
is pinioned, his >lhirt collar cut away, a
ho goes forth to his death. .As soon as th
body is unstrapped from the plank it is
put into a coffin, with the bead between
the feet, driven off to the cemetery and
buried."
"And now, M. Dcibler," I said, "what
is your opinion as to the theory that life
actually endures in tho head for some lit-
tle time after it is severed from the body?"
"Well," was the reply, given reflective-
ly, "I have certainly on more than ono oc-
casion seen the eyes in a decapitated head
open and close and tho lips twitch con-
vulsively for quite ten minutes and oven
longer after .,the fatal stroke has been
given. But though this nine give all the
semblance of liogoring life, I do not fancy
s- that it is life, and for this reason: You
see, the knife Is so heavily weighted that
at the same instant that the neck is sover-
cd the occiput receives a blow that fre-
quently cracks the skull, and would, in
my opinion, be quite sufficient to drive out
any ray of memory, reflection or real sen-
sibility that might otherwise linger in the
brain. Then, again, the great loss of
blood would produce syncope. Still, after
all, there may bo exceptional cases. I
should not like to assert positively that
there are not."
"And with regard to the proposed uni-
versal abolition of capital punishment, aro
you favorable toward it or otherwise?"
M. lloibler gave a most expressive shrug
of his sl:onl ors, as he sold: "One i:.ust
not quarrel with ono's breed and b::ttcr,
yott know. As I non pnid to carry out tho
eenteneo of the law 1 do not feel justified
in expressing an opinion as to whether iho
law is right or wrong. Still, by that you
.must not imagine that I feel no responsi-
bility in shedding the blood of –a -fellow
;creature, for I do feel It most acutely, and
custom has not hardened mo to it in tho
ieabt.'`�--I hlladotphin

WEAK AND WEARY -WOMEN FIND A REAL

bas said that in this
age there are no

age has many wo-

noble physically, as
they are mental]

is true nevertheless,
that a large per-

bility. They drag
out a weary existence, and each day Is
a day of pin and suffering. This was
the case with Miss Annie Patterson, of

from Indigestion and nervousness. She was
influenced by some one, somehow, to try
South American Nervine. Of course, It was

A Buccaneer Captain Puts a Captured
Crew to the Sword.
"The Buccaneers of Our Coast" is the
subject of a series of sketches by Frank R.
Stookton in St. Nicholas. 1Vriting of the
Frenchman L'Olonnois and his adven-
tures, Mr. Stockton says:
By the time the war vessel had arrived
at De los Cayos, L'Olonnols had made his
preparations to attack tho place. But aft-
er the ship had cone there was a change in
the state of affairs, and bo was obliged to
alter his plans.
Of course L'Olonnois could not now
row leisurely up to the town and begin to
pillage it as ho had' intended, but no in'
tention of giving up his project entered
his mind. As the Spanish vessel was in
his way, he would attack her and get her
out of his way if the thing could be done.
He was obliged to devise some stratagem,
and he also needed a larger force. He
therefore captured some fishermen to help
row his canoes. Then by night ho pro•
ceeded slowly in the direction of the Span-
ish vessel. The man-of-war was anchored
not far from the town, and when, about 2
o'clock in the morning, the watch on deck
saw some canoes approaching they natu-
rally supposed them to bo boats from shore.
The canoes were hailed, and after hav-
ing given an account of themselves they
were asked if they knew anything about
the pirate ship upon the coast. L'Olonnols
made ono of his prisoner fishermen answer
that they had not seen a pirate vessel and
say that it must hav`e sailed away when
its captain heard the Spanish ship was
coming. Then the canoes were allowed to
go.
They rowed off into the darkness and
waited 011111 nearly daybreak; then they
boldly rondo for the man-of-war, ono canon
attacking her on ono side and the second
on the other. Before the Spanish could
comprehend what had happened there
worn more than 20 pirates upon their
decks, tbo dreaded L'Olonnois at their
head.
'I'ho pirates had the advantage. They
had overpowered the watch and were de-
fending the deck against all corners from
below. It requires n brave sailor to stick
his bead out of a hatchway when ho sees
enemies on deck armed with cutlasses.
But there was 001110 stout fighting on
board. The officers came out of their cab-
ins, and some of the men were ablo to force
their way into the strugglo. Tho pirates,
however, fought, cash scoundrel of them,
like three mon, and the Savage fight ended
by every Spnnn.h sailor or officer who was
not killed or wounded being forced to stay
below decks, with tho hatches securely
fastened.
L'Olonnois now stood, a proud victor,
on the deck of his prize and ordered the
prisoner;; to he sent up from below. As
800n'a; each prisoner was standing before
L'Olonnois the pirate slew him, and he

STRENGTH CAME BACK,
BEAUTY AND THE BEAU.
The Show of Gallantry Rebuked by Gen-
uine courtesy.
Tho car was crowded. It happened that
only men wore standing, with the excep-
tion of a colored woman, in the middle of
the car. But at a corner a woman dressed
in the top of the mode got on. She stood
next the door, and plainly here was a
chance for some masculine person to be
gallant. An old beau, who was seated
near alto center, was obviously fascinated
by tho appearance of this beauteous female
and bobbed his head tO catch her eye;
Finally succeeding he arose, beckoned to
her and murmured:
"Won't you take my seat, madam?"
Tho colored woman. standing directly
in front of him, heard this and, turning,
thanked hint gratefully as she made a
movement toward tho vacant space. With
indignation wrinkling his tinted nose and
spoiling for a moment the gracious air
which he had assinncd, he pushed her
back, with both hands at her elbows, as
he exclaimed:
"Oh, no; not for you, ma'am!"
His adjustment of expression was rapid
as he turned once more to her of the hand-
some face and fashionable clothes and
made way. Then, with n smile at his
neighbors which plainly said, "Didn't I
manage that well?" ho leaned comfortably
on his stick.
The favored ono had not noticed the lit-
tle play which had been enacted for Iter
benefit, but a young girl who sat in the
next seat was an observer and saw the
warm rod deeply flush under the black
skin of the other woman and the tears
come in the dark eyes. She saw the mouth
quivering, and her own eyes snapped.
With a glance at "his complacency," un-
mistakably expressive of hor scorn and in-
dignation, she quickly rose, touched the
woman on the arm and gently said:
"Take my scat. I'm getting out at the
next corner."
Then, clashing a look at tho man, under
which his expression of self congratulation
rapidly changed to something near to
sheepishness, she passed out of the oar, eta
more than one man there would hare, bet
that she had not intended .to get off at
that oorner.–New York Sun.
EARLY WHALE FISHE,,.
It Was Probably First Followed by the
Bisoayans or Norwegians.
As to who among northern nations may
justly claim the honor of first daring ti
attack the mighty whale there is some lit-
tle doubt. But the balance of probability
inclines to the Bisoayans or Norwegian*
We have a reasonably definite account ill
Orosius of bay whaling having been oar -
He'd on from the North oape along the
shores of the White sea in the ninth oen-
t,iry. Langebek, a Danish writer, asserts
} osltively that the Norwegians were the
1'comers of whale hunting on the coasts of
their own country about the year 87
But there are many references to whale
fishing in the chronicles of that period.
The "Tragslatiion et les Miracles de t.
Yeast" tells of a donation by William t 9
Conqueror of a tithe of whales caught at
Dives to the Convent of the Holy xrinity
at Caen. A bull of Pope Eugene III gives
o tithe of the tongues of whales caught at
hierri to the church at Contemns. Thesis
two will probably suffice as a sample of
the referonoes to the oetaoea in those early
times. Historians, however, are agreed
that the Basques and Bisoayans first ven-
tured far to sea from their own shores and
so became the originators of the whale
fishery proper.
About 1575a combined fleet of Biscayan
and Iceland vessels, numbering 50 or 60
sail, commenced whaling upon the coasts
of Newfoundland, Icelaud and southern
Oroonland. In 1504 the English appear to
have awakened to the prospspt of profit
from the whale fishery, for we 'read that
several ships were fitted out in that year
at Bristol for a whaling voyage to Cape
Breton. Ono of them, the Grace of Bris-
tol, found between 700 and 800 blades or
lamina) of whalebone on the shores of St.
George's bay, whore two large Biscayan
ships had been wrecked three years before.
This seems to have been the first instance
of the importation of whalebone into Eng-
land.–London Spectator.

The Spanish Minister, who has quit-
ted Washington to sail for home by
way of Canada, Senor Polo y Barnabe,
has won much personal respect during
Isis short stay at the American capital.
But he is credited with a diplomatic
blunder, in suggesting the theory that
the Maine might have been' blown up
by an agent of the Cuban insurrection.
This was a blander, because to admit
the supposition that the Maine was de-
ttroyed by an agent of the Cubans was
to admit the possibility c,f an external
explosion, and to that extent, discredit
the official Spanish theory that such
an explosion was impossible. and that
the explosion which destroyed the ship
was of internal origin. •

every sense of the word. There are a large number of Washing Powders on the

cheap as ordinary soap. And while it offers special inducements as to cleansing
properties, it positively contains no impurities. On economical grounds no
housekeeper can afford to be without a package of SILVER DUST.

Post no Bilis I
nerves have been very weak, my sleep fltfgl
and disturbed by dreams, consequently
arose in the morning unrested. I wail
frequently very dizzy and was much
troubled'with a mist that came before my
eyes, my memory was often defective and I
had fluttering of the heart, together with a
sharp pain through it at times. In this
condition I was easily werried and fell
enervated and exhausted. Two months age.
I began taking Milburn's Heart and Nerve
Pills, since that time I have been gaining in
health and strength daily. They have
restored my nerves to a healthy condition,
removedall dizziness ¢nil heart trouble, and
novel I sloop well and derive oorator* and
rest from it. That Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pills are a good remedy for Nervous-
ness, Weakness, heart Trouble and similar
complaints goes without saying." Price
