Doctor Hammond, the famous expert in
mental maladies, has been investigating
the subject of death by strangulation on
the scatfold. He even experimental upon
himself IN order to find out so far as he
could the sensations of the dying criminal.
As result of his injuries he has concluded
that slow strangulation is less painful and
more effective than the jerking methods
now in favor among executioners. Even
where the neck is broken there may not
be an immediate cessation of life. In the
fall, or quick haul upward, when the
criminal is elevated by a weight instead
of being dropped, the rope is liable
to be misplaced. and his suffering
thereby protracted. He also fayors the
substitutions of soft cotton or faxen
rope for the sitter hempen cord. On the
whole he concludes that hanging is one
of the pleasantest modes of death. We
quote his own experience:
With the assistance of the medical
friends l was partially strangled in the
following manner: After being placed
in sitting position in chair. a towel
was passed around my neck and the ends
| twisted together. OF course, with every
twist Of the towel very forciblec ecompress-
ion was made on the entire circumfer-
ence of the neck. One of my friends was
intrusted with the operation of twisting
the towel, while the other was stationed
| in front of me in order that he might
watch my face, and at the same time
make the necessary tests of the cessation
of sensibility. I My sensation from the
first twist of the towel may be briefly
stated as follows: first noticed sensa-
tion of warmth and tingling, beginning
in the feet and quickly passing over the en-.
tire body; vision partially disappeared, but
there was no appearance of any coiored
lights. My head felt as if about to burst
and there was confused roaring in the
ears. such as is heard when the ear ii
placed against the opening of a shell.
suffered no loss of consciousness, and
wss fully able to tell my friend whether
l felt any pain from the knife thrusts he
was inf1icting upon my hand. In one
minute and twenty seconds from the
commencement of the operation all sensi
bility was abolished. After few minutes
rest, second trial was made in the same
manner as before. This was followed by
symptoms similar in character to those
mentioned in the first attempt. excep
that sensibility ceased in fifty-fve sec
onds. A stab with knife, sufficient,
to draw blood, was Indicative of no sen
satiou whatever. l@r A4

The Blind Man.

That a man may be blind in more
ways than one is conceded by almost
everybody. The man who is physical
N blind, whose eyes have been de-
stroyed by disease or the sight re-
moved by some accident, is to be
pitied and he should have the sympa-
thy and share the charity OF every
good citizen. But the man who is
blind intellectually or spiritually, who
at this day and age does not post him.
self as to his immediate surroundings,
does not make himselfecquainted with
the general topics of the day, does not
know whether he is Presbyterian or
Methodist, Republican or Demo
crat, is to be censured rather than
pitied, because in these days of cheap
literature, and the world is full OF it
a man need not 60 to the expense OF
travelling, he can stay right at his own
freside and make himself fully &C.
quainted with everything that is going
on in the world, and thus become a
good judge of the principles and char
acters which are best calculated to adj
vance the interests of every country
and better the condition of every indl'
vidual. 1t may be well perhaps, to
state right hare for the benefit of those
who may not be acquainted Of the fact,
that Saur makes speciality of keeping
constantly on hand all the best and
choicest literature of the day at his
large drug and book store, and any
book, paper or magazine published
anywhere in the world will be fur
nished on the shortest possible notice,
in any language desired. And we will
say further that you will not only find
! Saur's drugs and medicines is always
complete, and will compare favorably
in quantity. variety, price and quality
with that of any other drug house any
where east OF west, north or south. II
has become byword, and deservedly
too, that when you fail to find any spe-
cial or particular kind of medicine
everywhere else, that by going to
Saur's drug and book store you will be
sure to find it.
In the line of holiday goods, Saul
is always up with the times and has
everything that is beautiful as well as
useful at prices which are within the
reach of everv one In fact low prices
ON all kinds of goods sold at this house
have ever been the mottos which have
given this house reputation which II
not excelled and which every one II
proud to speak Of. Saur has always
recognized this fact in all his dealings
that honest square dealing, represent
ing your goods none other than tina
which they are, is the only true roat
to. success, and he who prospers by an,
other is sooner or later, either in thi
world or the next, bound to retrac'
his steps, make right what he ha
made wrong, or else forever suffer tn
penalty which attaches to all that j
bad. ~ I

Policy Dealers Fined.

PLAYERS WHO GOT s'THE BEST OF THE GAME" But
DIDN'T GET THE MONEY
There is great deal OF excitement among the
policy dealers of this city on account OF their
being ''struck' for an unusual heavy amount last
week on what the players call ''money row." The
strikes were so heavy and general among the host
OF policy dealers here that several of them have
closed business, and some have left town on being
threatened with exposure and prosecution by the
parties who made the "hits" and were not paid
their prizes. A colored soldier named George w.
Clark made complaint to the police a few days
ago that Patrick Mcnamara, Of No. 1859 Ohio ave-
nue., was running policy shop, and he struck the
game for $50 and the hackers refused to pay him.
Lieut. Arnold last night sent out Sergeant Heff-
ner and Officers Breen, Harlow and Herbert. who
rafdei McNamara'S place and also a shop kept by
Frank Thompson. Thompson's place was In full
blast and was fitted up with all the paraphernala.
They were all released on collateral FOR their ap-
pearance before Judge Smell. In the Police Court
this morning they were represented by Judge Pei
ham, who pleaded guilty for them and stated that
they were goLg out OF the business Mcnamara
was fined $50 and Thompson s100. The fines were
paid.
