A Boston paper has suggested Rev. Sam
Small for President. The suggestion is
doubtless made in jest, but the Prohibition

He seems to have renowned the Democratic

The story about Russell Sage walking into

SO suit of clothes has Travelled 70 some
extent since it first got into print. This is
very evident, from the fact that the suit
has now dropped to $l2 in price. Before
long there will probably be a still greater
reduction, and Mr.. Sage will be pictured as

passed By the assembly, but
stuck in the hands OF the sen~
ate Judiciary committee. Il finally
passed minus s section which dis
rected that the superintendent Of ssste
prisons should on or before January l.,
"csuse an electrical apparatus suitable
ant sufficient for the purposes OF this
scg to be constructed and placed IN each

with the necessary appliances for the
execution Of convicted criminals"
The friends OF the bill claimed after the
passage thss the judiciary committee
meant TO kill 1t, but made mistake in
striking out that clause instead OF the
clause mentioning electricity as the scent.
In the form in which the law passed
electricity becomes the agent of criminal
execution upon January l, out no uni
form system is demanded for ithe entire
state.
In this 1uncture the Medico. Legal So

it is clear that this faculty Of the mind
will suffer ct once IL the current be sui
iciently strong. The electric stres N
flows from the positive to the negative
pole, and there might be some possible
advantage in placing the positive pole on
the vertgx CT the head, nearest the center
of consciousness, although death in any
case will be instantaneous. Af.sr mature
deliberation we recommend th2t the
death current be administered 20 the
cTiminsl in the following manner:
stout table covered with rubber
cloth, and having holes along Its Dor
ders for binding, or & strong chAir,
should be procured. Tia prisoner lying
on his back or sitting, should be firmly
bound upon this table OR in the chair
o &c electrode should be go inserted into
the table, or into the back Of the chair,
that it will impinge upon the spine be-
tween the shoulders. The hest should
be secured by means OF 6 sort OF helmet,
fastened to the table or back Of the chair,
and to this helmet the other pole should
be so Joined IS to press firmly with its
end upon the top Of the head. We think
chsir is prefera DIE to table. The
rheophores csn be led IF to the dynamo
through the floor or another room,
and the instrument for closing the cir
cult can be attsc to the wall.
Ehe electrodes should be metal, NOT
over one inch in diameter. somewhat
ovoid4l il shape, and covered with q
| thick layer OF sponge or channels skin.
The poles and the skin and hair st the
points OF contscs should be thoroaxSsT
wet with WARM wster. The hair shGSsd
| be cut short. @
A dynamo generating an electro. mo-:
tive force Of at lesst 5000 volts should De
employed. Either continuous or alter
mating current msy be used. but prefer
ably the latter. The current should be
allowed to pass for thirty seconds.
| Tie society was not prepared last right
to take seton upon the report, because
the committee took them by surprise.
TIE report was not expected until the
December meeting, and so it was laid on
the table until that time, to admit OF all
being present.
The Law provides that executions by
electricity shall take plsce only in Sing

Two Ways. Choose Which!

There are two usual ways of doing what nature sometimes does incompletely, namely, to re- lieve the bowels. One is to swal- low a drastic purgative which evacuates profusely, abruptly and with pain, the other is to take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is not violent, but sufficiently thorough, and which does not gripe the intestines. If the first is selected, the person employing it need not expect per manent benefit, and he cannot hope to escape the facilitating reaction which leaves the organs as bad or worse off than before. If, on the other hand, he resorts to the Bitters, he can rely upon the restoration of a regular habit of body, consequent upon a re- newal of 8 healthful tone in the intestinal canal. Besides health fully relaxing the bowels, the Bit ters arouses dormant liver, i'm parts a beneficial impetus to the action of the kidneys, and coun- teracts the early twinges of rheu- matism, . tend dency to gout, and malaria in lits forms.
The Clifton clarion., 1888-07-25

An associated press dispatch from Nogales says that leading newspapers and citizens of Sonora ard Sinaloa, Mexico, are generally criticising the American Consul at Port Mszatlan for refusing to hoist the stars and stripes over the Consulate on the Fourth of July. It is the usual custom for the representatives of different nations at Mazatlan to compliment each other by hoisting the flags over their respective Consulates on national or important holidays, but on this occasion every one was surprised when the American Con- sul refused to put up the flag on that day. Hundreds of Mexican flags were unfurled and tho repre- sentstives of all nations hoisted flags out of respect to the United States, but no flag foated over the United States Cen1o1ate. The affair has csused 67eal deal of talk all over uis soaihern part of Mexico.
