Among other oddities sent to the Presi-
dent by (iuiteau is paper which he calls
q Gods WAYS" and in which he says:
Centuries ago God created in his image

untold to the race Of men; men took wives;
they multiplied; Noah came, then flood;
man started again.
God said unto Abraham "Bc my man;
I will be thy God" This covenant stood
J, 1000 years.
Moses killed man. God kept him and
made him His lawgiver and ruler OF his

Pharaoh followed Gods men and got
drowned.
The Bible j. full OF cases like this, show
ing that God always protects his man.
Two thousand years passed, and the
Jews. Abraham's seed, grew rich and
mighty, and God judged them.
Gods son, man OF poverty and grief,
appeared and claimed TO be their Messiah.
Jesus OF Nazareth, the Jews agreed. was not
Gods man, and Him they cruciiied, in
tending to do Gods service.

made the Almighty mad; thc;Jews mistook
their man, but that made do difference.
They thought they were doing God
service in crucifying 4 vile impostor. but
that made no difference. Father forgive
them, but that made no difference. Note
these points.
The retribution came, quick and sharp,

When Jerusalem went out, \. ID. 20, the
Jews were judged; they went to hell; they
also lost their nationality, and God has
cursed them from that day to this.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GALLONS.
During the past two weeks hundreds OF
persons and countless newspaper reporters
have inspected the jail and examined the
galows. The crossbeam is 10y II inches
IN the middle, tapcrs TO inches square At
the ends. which rest and are firmly secured
on upright posts u feet high and 5 inches
square. This beam was originally Of one
solid piece, the centre above the trap being
pierced by one hole for the hangman's
rope. A heavy piece of timber was placed
on top of this so as 10 make il sufficiently
strong for the execution Of Bedford and
Quccnan. OF course holes were made for
The additional rope. As the original hoe
was in the middle Of the beam, directly
above the centre OF the trap, these two
had TO be bored 10 the side OF this
one. The platform OF ;he gallow,
is II feet square and 10 feet above
the brick pavement. 1t is supported by
six S-inch uprightS. in addition to those
on which the beam rests. The latter are
braced by heavy 1imber>. the entire struc-
ture being strongly boted and neatly put
together. Into these uprighis stout ioiSts
are morticed and firmly bolted, and on the
latter is neat flooring of 2-inch boards.
Around the platform and the stairway is u
plain railing. The steps are on the south
side OF the scaflold and face the door that
opens into the rotunda. The steps are -
feet wide, with Pinch tread and rise
OF inches. In the centre OF the scallOld
directly under the middle OF the beam is
the trap, which is ) feet square, and hung
on four great Hinges undcrneath. 1t i
held in place by long bolt, controlled by
a spring OF trigger, to which is attached
strong cord. This rope or cord passing
over pulley is conducted along j-inch
square box to cell feet distant from the
scalold ratings.
HOW THE TRAP is SPRUNG.
Within this cell are stationed two Off
GERS, whose names are not made known,
and in order to give more secrecy TO the
act of execution. the grated window is eur
tanned so as to hide the occupants from
view. Through small hole in the cur
tain one OF the officers watches the warden
give the signal for the cord to be pulled.
This signal is generally given Icy nodding
the head, waving handkerchief, or rails
ing the hand. In order TO insure against
any lulSidhC, tu' 81 uii - d-lt'u hI'oil anu
fully understood by the warden and the look
out in the cell. As soon Us the signal is
given the lookout communicates ii to the
hangman, who jerks the rope attached TO
the trigger. Instantly the trap drops, and
the murderer's body is swinging from the
end OF the rope. The hinges of the trap
are creased so as to guard against any i'm
pedlment in its working. In order TO pre-
vent the trap rebounding against the body
a piece Of stout sash-cord, with q weight at
the end and running over an iron pulley
on the sill OF the stairway, is attached TO il.
With the exception OF greasing down
the rope everything is now in readiness for
the execution next Friday. The rope used
generally is thirty-five feet long and three
quarters of an inch thick. When oiled
