. No More Hangfngs 1n New York State Experiments With the Deadly AL ternaling Current-The New Law to Take Effect Jan. l.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The law requiring
 electrical executions goes into effect Jan. 1.
 but until to-day the amount and character of
 current required to make death certain and
 instantaneous had not been determined. The
 experiments upon dogs made last summer
 made by Harold P. Brown, the electrical en- gineer, were criticised because thu weight of the animals killed was less than that of man, and it was supposed that more current
 would be required to kill human being on that account. This afternoon MT. Brown was given an opportunity to make demon
 stration before Elbridge T. Gerry, author of the electrical execution law, and the commit tee appointed by the Medico-Legal society to
 report on the best means of putting the law
 into effect.
 EXPERIMENT ON A CALF. The experiments were made at MT. Edison's laboratory at Orange and the first victim was
 calf weighing 1241< pounds. The hair was cut on the forehead and on the spine, before
 
 moistened in solution of sulphate of zinc were fastened in place. The resistance of the animal was 3,200 ohms. An alternating cur rent of 700 volts was applied for thirty sec- onds and the animal was killed instantly. It was at once dissected by Drs. Ingram and Bleyer, but the brain, heart and lungs were found to be in normal condition, and the meat was pronounced fit for food. One metal plate carrying the current touched the hair of the forehead and slightly burned, but otherwise there were no external indications of injury. The second calf weighed 145 pounds and had resistcnce of 1900 ohms. The deadly alternating current at 700 votls pressure was applied for five seconds and pro- duced instant death.
 THE DEADLY ALTERNATING CURRENT. To settle permanently the weight question horse weighing 1,2S0 pounds was next
 killed by passing the alternating current at 700 volts from one fore leg to the other. The resistance of this animal was Il, ,000 ohms. MT. Brown was assisted by A. E. Kennedy, and there were present Thomas A. Edison, Prof. R. Ogden Doremus, Prof. Charles A. Doremus, Dr. Frederick Peterson, Dr. Frank H. Ingram, Elbridge T. Gerry and several others. The experiments proved the alter hating current to be the most deadly force known to science and that less than half the pressure used in this city for electric light ing by this system is sufficient to cause in- stant death.

THE LABOR UNIONS.


The great strike in the West has again
sharply called attention to what seems to be
the weakest spot in labor organizations, as
they exist to day. The Brotherhood Of Lo-
comotive Engineers is perhaps the best labor
organization in the world. Certainly there
are few if any better. 1t is composed of men
who can only reach the positions they occupy
through the exercise of skill and long and
severe discipline. At its head is as able q
man as ever led union. His acts have been
characterized by moderation and good sense.
So well has he conducted the affairs of the
Brotherhood that when he declared the pres
ent strike the general opinion was that there
must have been good ground for it or he
would not have ordered it. But whatever
the reasons for the strike, it is seen as it
progresses that at bottom the fight is over
the ''union" principle.
It is not to be denied that labor organiza-
tions devote themselves to lifting the mass,
and in some cases they seem to meet with
some success. But they keep down the irdi-
vidual if he tries to rise above the common
level. AS the Worcester Spy puts it: If by
superior skill or energy or industry or inge-
nuity he is capable of earning more than his
fellows, or of rising to position of greater
ease, they resent and resist his endeavors, de
mandiug that he shall receive no more wages
than the rest II man starts from higher
level he may rise still higher, but if he is in
the ranks at the beginning he must stay
| there. The tendency of those organizations
! in tais respect is to create and perpetuate
| class distinctions. They allow workman
| to rise only in the oficeholding class of his
| own order. They discourage him from be-
coming more ski1lful workman and from
aspiring by superior ability, energy and
thrift to direct the labor of others in his OWL
| department of industry, but they opea to his
| ambition the way to influence and power
through the Offices of his union. He may
not, if his fellows can prevent it, become an
employer of labor on his own account, and
attain competence by the free exercise of
his own faculties, but he may perhaps be-
come general master workman when the
lives and fortunes of his fellow workmen and
the property and comfort of millions of man.
kind are dependent upon his word.
Whether or not this idea is good one for
the woIkingmen of this country time will
tell. AT present there seems to be very seri-
Gus objections to it,

HOW MILK Puuch Affects a Coon.


From the LOUISVILLE Courier-J ournaI
A new use has been found for the multi
tude of girls in Washington. They are util-
lied as decorations for receptions. Only
those are eligible who have pretty gowns.
and they are expected to wear thei1 ball
dresses every day. This use of superfuous
girls necessitates their being on duty as
many hours as the down -trodden car driv ers
and hotel walters. The girls who assist
every day at one or more receptions begin
their arduous duties with luncheon which
comes to an end in time to hurry off to the
house, where she is asked to assist, and
where she remains one or two hours; then
goes to another house, and remains until
o'clock; thence home, and later to the ev-
ening entertainments. These young people
never get to bed until 3 or half past 3 in the
morning.

A Word About Catarfh.

1t is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi
fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of
the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes its
stronghold Once established, it eats into the very
vitals and renders life but long drawn breath of
misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing,
trammelling the power of speech, destroying the
faculty of smell, taste and the breath, and killing
the refined pleasure of taste. Insdously by creep
ing on from simple cold in the head, it assaults
the membranous lining and envelopes the bones,
eating through the delicate coats and causing in
hammation, sloughng and death Nothing short
OF total eradication will secure health to the pa
tent, and all alternatives simply procrastinated
suferings. leading to fatal termination San
ford's Radical Cure, by inhalation and by internal
administration, has never failed; even when the
disease has made frightfu inroads delicate con-
stitutions hearing, smell and taste have been re-
covered, and the disease thoroughly driven out.

tarrh. from simple head cold to the most loath-
some and destructive stages 1t is local and const
tutional. Instant in relieving, permanent in cur
ing, safe, economical and er-failng.

the latter is adnitted free of duty will in

Mr.. Paxton, the secretary of the Chicago

Why DR.. McGlynn should want to secure
an injunction forbidding Louis F. Post and
other former New York associates from

The South is not yet entirely regenerated.
A Democratic paper of New Orleans gives
the Republicans formal notice that they must
let politics alone in that State, saying ::
Without further delay, it must be publicly

ton, sternly made, might bring them to
their senses and keep them from encounter
ing certain element that has often troubled
their dreams, and whose performances would
not be at all pleasing to them. The time has
come to give Mr.. Warmoth and his friends to
understand that if they intend to continue to

agricultural and industrial enterprises, but
they must, for all time, abandon all preten-

VOORHEES, on Gresham.

If Judge Gresham misses the nomi-
nation at Chicago, it certainly will not
be for lack of friends for he seems to
have an astonishing assortment of
these, embracing men of every tint of
political opinion. And now comes
Senator Voorhees,, who, as reported by
a Washington correspondent, recently
expressed himself as follows:
have known Walter Gresham for a
great many years, and / have always
known him as brave, honorable,
manly man. He never did a mean
thing and he never will. There isn't
anything that can be said against him
personally, and if 1 am compelled to
60 upon the stump in Indiana against
him as a presidential candidate 1 give
you notice that you viii not find in any
speech that 1 shall make anything that
will conflict with the opinions 1 express
to you now about Gresham as man.
There is nothing that any man can say
against him. He has personal cour-
age which is rare and which has gained
distinction for kiZn, and he is just as
courageous in political matters. Ny
fight against him IN Indiana and else
where could only be one of party prin-'
cipfe.
