TO suPpLANT THE MOOSE.
Electricity Recommended by a Humane
Commission for the Death Penalty.

ELECTRICITY Recommended by u humane
Commission for the Death Penalty.
The commissioners appointed by the New
York Legislature to investigate and report
the most humane and practical method of
carrying into effect the sentence of death
in capital cases has made its report in the
shape of an exhaustive volume OF one hun
dred pages.
Considerable space is devoted to an out
line history ofexecutions in all countries.
The commission reaches the conclusion
that change IN the present method of
execution in this State is advisable, and
holds that the loss of life should not be
aggravated by any method which even in
acknowledgements the pains ofdissolution
orrenders the execution of the law more
terrible. The committee calls attention to
the constitutional prohibition forbidding
the infiction Of cruel and unusual pun
ishments. The most potent agency
known for the destruction of human life
is electricity, which produces instanta-
neous death.
An extended discussion of the question
of death produced by electricity follows.
The shock Is deelaredto TO be asnotlfing com
pared with the drop from the scaifold and
sudden stoppage ut the end of the rope,
the velocity of the electric current being
SO great that the brain isparalyzed, dead
before the nerves can communicate any
sense of shock. Professor Helmholtz
estimates the interval necessary for nerve
communication with the brain as one
tenth of second. Professor Tyndal es-
Inmates that an electric discharge occurs
in one-hundrethl lthousandth of a second,
or 10000 times more rapidly than nerve
transmission.
The opinion of Professor Elihu Thomp-
son of Lynn, Mass, is given. Hesays:
"The most certain way to produce death
would be to pass the current down the
spinal cord from the crown of the head,
as blythe sudden application of wet sur
faces or sponges. The current being kept
up for little time would result in such
complete nervous exhaustion as to forbid
any possibility of resuscitation by any
means whatever. There could in no case
be any pain felt"
Professor Edison agreesin the general
opinion expressed in the foregoing and
says: "The passage of the current from
the dynamo-electric machines through the
human body, even by the slightest con-
tacts produces instant death"
Thereport reoites number of expert
mentsnade on dogs to test the power and
speed of the electric current as q death
dealing agency. In death by hanging the
heart of the victim continues to. beat from
9 to 10 minutes, and frequently from Is TO
20 minutes. In the experiments made by
electricity the hearts action ceased the
instant the battery was applied. "The re-
suit demonstrates" says the commission,
that If tho current used is sufficiently
powerful, attempts at resuscitation in the
case of criminal executed by electricity
would certainly iail,n

An, come to me In dreams, and then.
one saith, / shall be well again,
For then the night will more than pay
The weary longing Of tho day.
Nay, come not thou in dreams, my sweet,
With shadowy robes and silent feet,
And with the voice and with the eyes
That greet me with soft surprise.

And how, to-day, shall | forget,
Or how, remembering, restrain

TEMPERANCE PAYS.
Baseball Players Who Have Prospered
Through Steady Habits.

=
Through Steady Habits.
Said well-known baseball manager,
in speaking Of the virtue of temperance
amongsplayers:
Look at some of our woll-lSnown, play
ers.and baseballtmen and see what virtue
has Idone forIthem. al. Spalding, the
old Boston and dafterward Chicago pitcher,
now gathers in Uncle Sam's dollars in
bundles instead oishot liners and sending
lightning curves.over the plate. He is q
successful business, man and is said to
have q million in his stocking. He owns
the Chicago Club and lots of other things.
His income from his club is said to
average him $4,000 a year. His first
lieutenant, Baby Anson. is model
player Of the first water. He played with
Spalding in the old Boston Club and fol-
lowed his GHETTO Chicago. He lis captain
and manager Of the oft League cham
pions and is said to have saved over $780,
600 of this worlds goods. His friends say
the big first baseman's income is $40, 900 u
year.
"Then there is old Deacon, White, the
third-baseman ofthe Detroit Club. The
Deacon has a skating, rink on top.of his
head, and is old enough to have grand
children. He is still playing ball, how
ever, and great ball, too. He has always
been asober and.earnest player, and has
saved lots of money and owns q big farm
besides@ Heis worth d dozen ordinary
colts yet. The Deacon is too pious at
times for his companions, but they re-
spect him highly at the same time. 1t is
said that the godly player frequently sends
up mental prayer that he may stop that
liner despite Its whisSers, or that he will
make the bat and ball collide when at the
plate. Fred. Dunlap is quite seasoned
player, but still young insyears. He will
draw s., 900. next season and drew $4,500
last year. He has saved enough to pur-
chase halfa dozen houses in Philadelphia
and has fat bank account besides.''

A Singular legal Contest.

In Robeson county, N. c., man was
indicted for disturbing religious worship
grave misdemeanor in the "Old North
State.." He is amember of o Methodist
church and persisted in joining in the
singing, Notwithstanding the fact that he
put everybody else out. 1t was shown in
the lower court that his singing was in the
nature of disturbance, for the reason
that it caused one-half of the congrega-
ton to laugh, and to make the other half
veryangry, the frivolous andirreligious en-
joying II asfun. 1t was also shown that
the pastor was so vexed that he declined
to give out any hymns, and that the pre-
siding elder had declined to conduct SER
vices in the church at all. The defendant
when put ppon the stand in his own be
half said he was conscientious singer,
ana that although he knew his voice was
not musical, his conscience reproyed him
if he did not sing every time o church
song was raised. The judge nevertheless
charged the jury that it waa disturbance
ofreligious services in the meaning of the
act and the defendant was convicted. He
took an appeal to the Supreme Court,
which has rendered the opinion that
though q Conscientious singer may dis
turb others, such disturbance is not an
indictable oiIense. The action of the
lower court was reversed and the de-
fendant retires the victor in the singular

to be the very thing they want, offer
to arrange with her for "a season of
