THE New York Commission appointed
to inquire into the best methods for ex-
ecuting capital criminals recommends
that chair with head and foot rest
should be used, in which the condemned
man could be seated in a half-reclining
position. "One wire could be connected
with the head rest and the other with
the foot rest. which would be a metal
plate. The electric current could be
supplied by electric light wires. An in
dependent line from the electric light
plant could DE constructed if desired. )"
The cost would be nominal. The COM
mission also recommends that the body
of the criminal thus struck by lightning
be given over to the medical colleges for
dissection, claiming that while many
braves would walk to the scaffold with
out finching they would hesitate about
committing crime If certain that their
odies would be subsequently cut up In
the interest of medical science.

The recent season of severely cold
weather demonstrates at least one thing
in way in which it could not have been
as clearly expressed otherwise. 1t
showed the wonderful extent and vari-
ETY. of the United States. Americans ac-
customed to the traversing of vast dis
tances in rapid and comfortable trains
which practically annihilate distance
are, from their familiarity with the
country's vastness, little impressed with
its extent. 1t requires some novel and
interesting fact to impress it anew upon
them. Such a one was to be found in
the recent great range of temperature
within the limits of our northern and
southern boundaries. For example,
while at ST. Vincent. Mimi, during the
greatest severity of the cold snap the
thermometer registered 50 degrees be-
low zero, at Key West, Fla, it marked
y degrees above, a range of 124 degrees.
America can boast upon one continent
every variety of climate known, and she
can further offer facilities for going from
one extreme to another, even though
the distance may be represented by
thousands of miles, more conveniert
than those offered the traveller who
wishes TO exchange England's disagree
able winter climate for the balmy breeze
of the Riviera, comparatively near at
horH

SARAH HILLS ROMANCE.
End of the Sensational Sharon Divorce
Litigation.

SAN Francisco, Cal, Feb. Tuesday
afternoon the supreme court decided
the celebrated Sharon divorce case,
finding for the plaintiff. The suit was
one OF the most sensational ever tried in
the United States. Sarah Althea Hill, or
Mrs. Sharon, as the courts have decided
her TO be, caused a tremendous sensa-
ton in California when, in the spring of
1886, she brought suit tor divorce from
ex-senator Sharon. Miss Hill was said
to be an adventuress-young, dashing
and handsome. In her testimony she
said Sharon first offered her 81 900 per
month to live with him, and then when
she Indignantly spurned his proposal,
said he was only testing her, and asked
her to become his wife by secret mar
riage. A written agreement was pro-
duced, signed by both parties, in which
the marriage was acknowledged. Sen
ator Sharon claimed that this document
was forgery. The supreme court held
that there had been marriage and
fixes alimony at 81 $50, and ar annual
allowance OF $3.50. Over 100000 was
spent in prosecuting and fighting the
case. Mrs. Sharon sometime since
caused sensation by marrying her at
torney, Judge Terry, and by attempting
to shoot Sharon's lawyer in court.

A HOT-HE4DED 4DMrRAI,
He Threatens to Make Ii Hot for Uncle
Sans Cruisers.


OTTAWA, Ont, Feb admiral Hen
age, who assumed command of the
British feet in the Pacific, has, in his
report to the British government. drawn
attention to the inefficiency and weak
ness of the squadron on the Pa
ciic coast. AS result, it is
reported here that the imperial govern
ment has decided to add several vessels
to the admiral's command, His orders
for the coming season include a sharp
lookout to see that the rights of
British sealing vessels in Behring Sea
are not interfered with in the future.
When here the admiral said that
if he had been in command of
the station when the several
Canadian schooners were seized
by the United States cutter Corwin last
year he would have given the Yankee
cruiser sample of what British justice
was. The admiral is said to be a hot
headed old sailor, and it would surprise
no one here to learn that he had got
Great Britain into some sort of SQUAD
BILE before the summer is over

Grated as shoe factory, was discovered
on fire, and the buildings occupied by
the shoe company were totally de-

Buffalo's Palace Dry Goods Store De-
stroyed by Fire.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. 1.-Shortly be-
fore noon to-day fire was discovered in
the great dry goods establishment of
Barnes, Hengerer & Co., on NJ ain
Street. The building had a handsome
iron front and was five stories high, and
extended from Main to Pearl Streets.
1t was only few minutes after the fire
was discovered before the lower floors
were mass of flames and in half an
hour the entire building with it's con-
tents, valued at $3.50, 900, we're destroyed.
At first 1t was thought that some of the
5OO persons employed by the firm had
been burned, but at this hour Il NJ it
Is thought that everybody escaped from
the building.
When the fire broke out many of the
clerks and sewing girls were out at lunch
and there were but few customers in
the store. There were many narrow es-
capes and exciting scenes while the girls
were being rescued from the upper
stories, but no serious injuries have
been reported. The heat was so intense
that the efforts of the entire fire depart
ment were required to save the
building on the opposite side of Main
Street from destruction. The oss by
building was owned by GU. Hamlin and
was insured for $4,000. Barnes, Hen
gerer & Co. hold $60O,OO insurance on
their stock. Across the street the firm
of D. E. Morgan & Son, whose stock is
badly damaged by water, hold 1925, 900
insurance and Mrs. r. J. Sherman, own
er of the building, has $4,000.
The Third National Bank building and
the Glenny crockery establishment were
somewhat damaged by fire and water.

able loss from water: Flint & Kent, dry
goods D. E. Morgan & Sons, carpets; S.
Q. Barnum & Co., notions; Edward H.
Jennings, paper hangings and draperies.
and Denton & Carter's music store.
Mr.. Rose, advertising agent for
Barnes, Hengerer & Co., reports that all
of the clerks have been accounted for
and no one was even seriously hurt.
The fire started in the paper room in
the basement. How it started is not
really known, but is thought from gas
jet. The total loss is estimated at about
81, 900 with enough insurance to cover

Temperance Advocate Who Desires
the Liquor Tax Removed.

the Liquor Tax Removed.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-Mls. J. Ellen
Foster, of the W. G. T. e., has returned
from trip of investigation in Euro "a.
She brings back discouraging news 81
the cause of temperance in Great Brit
ain, Germany and France. In recent
interview she says that she believes the
government should remove the tax on
whisky. The tax is wrong in princi-
pie, inexpedient in politics, and
bad in law. The recognition OF the
whisky business by the government has
q bad effect on prohibition" She thinks
Miss Willard has made a serious error
in allying the w. G. I. q. with the third
party. That organization in Iowa is de-
handing several amendments to the
law, tending to do away with the present
lawful sale of liquor at drug stores. It
is also asking a woman suffrage amend
ment to the State Constitution.

AT Albany, Ga, experiments will
shortly be made in the cultivation of the
pyrethrum roseum, species Of the
feverfew FROM which the, insect powder
now so much used is manufactured.
When first introduced it was known as
Dalmation insect powder, probably from
that far off corner of the world where il
was grown. 1t is now cultivated largely
in California, but the supply seems hard
~ equal to the demand, as the price is
rapidly advancing upon it.
