The.recent double execution OF AllortO
and Seller at La Roquette mas again
given rise 10 a considerable amount of
discussion as to the mora effect of the
t'guillotiLe" on the criminal classes.
Partisan coyous are, as a rule, much
given to coarse and cynical joking about
to the Buttle, and the murderer who goes
his doom cranement, as the phrase is, be-
comes quite hero among the "roughs'
of La Chapelle, Montrouge and Menil-
montant. 1t is, nevertheless, quite pos
sible that President Carnot's severity in
according few reprieves has had a
deterrent effect on the cutthroats who
had learned to expect so much from
the misplaced clemency of M. Greyy.
This would seem to be borne out by
the observations of the Able Faure,
chaplain of La Roquette prison, who
has Just communicated a report on his
ministrations to the government. The
Able believes that no other punishment
which may be substituted Tor execution
by the ''guillotine" will have SO fear-pro-
ducing an effect as the terrible instru-
ment of justice at the service OF the
public headsman. La his report the
Able draws realistic picture OF the
suspense in which the doomed murder
er lives from day to day, until he hears
either his summons to the scaffold or
the news of reprieve. Nearly all the
murderers seek consolation more or less
in religion, according to the degree of
education which they have received,
and none of them give up the hope or
q reprieve until the last moment. The
condemned criminals rarely or never
sleep when they know that their term
is approaching, or if they do it is only
to doze off into horrible dream, from
which they jump up all livid with fear
and dread. Sleeping or waking the
"guillotine," the lunette. the headsman
and his assistants are forever present

order him to get his coat and hat at

planned to the diner in an apologize

Looking at me, | suppose ?" was the
answer.
''Ah, but the expression in his eyes;

"Mais, m'sieu, the waiter was taking

oHRrsrraN SCIENCE FAILS.

You may talk of Christian Science, with its pow

But there's one thing Christian science CANNOT
cure or palliate.
1t may stop the hyp instanter. 1t may knock
Mysteries out,
Balk hiccough Danish freckles, cure tendency

Christian Science, taken daily, may obesity re-
duce, - -
Or may fatten up a lean man till he Waddles like
goose;
1t may raise q growth of whiskers on the downy

Or remove a sprouting mustache which pretty

Christian Science may do wonders, but its power
IS put to scorn

CHAREs MEAD passed through Column
bus, Ind, the other day having in his
charge a remarkable family of rattle
snakes, which he captured in Brown
County. twenty miles west Of that
place. The largest of the reptiles meas
ured feet 2 inches in length. It's cir.
cumterence was nine inches. When
discovered by Mr.. Mead this monster
snake had with it nine young rattlers
all of which were captured. An excit
ing time was had in taking them alive.

to their imaginations. Out of eleven
persons whom the Able attended dur
ing his six years of office only three
we're really asleep when their summons
came. ON the whole, the French sys-
tenn of keeping criminals i'll suspense
for weeks or months is q severe one,
but neither the prison chanlain, who
considers it his duty always to buoy up
the doomed men with hope, nor the
magistrates and police officials who deal
" ith the dangerous classes. are inclined
to recommend it's alteration in any of
its details.

Queer Way to Choose a Minister

From the Philadelphia Chronicle Telegraph.
The Mennonites of the Hammer
Creek district held a special meeting
yesterday to select minister according
to the usual custom. Twenty-one Bibles
we've placed upon table in the meet
ing house, one containing a piece of
paper. Twenty-one eligible members
of the congregation then passed around
the table, each taking one Of the Bibles.
The one containing the slip of paper
fell to Jonas Hess, of Lititz, and he was
accordingly declared called to the min
istry and endowed with the minis
terial authority.

A War of the Future.

When war comes IN Europe, as it
must come some time, it will be seen
that a new era has begun in the art of
destruction. The Belgian historian,
Emile de Daveleye, sums up in an ar
ticle in the Forum for October the ter
rible factors of the next conflict. The
civil war in the United States was but
child's play in comparison. With Rus
STA and France on one side, and Ger
many, Austria and Italy on the other,
seven millions of men can be instantly
put in the field, with ten millions in re-
serve. The facilities for concentration.
and the improved arms, are such that
more men may easily be killed in one
day than have ever before been killed
In whole war. The continuous pre-
no thought of it's immediate occurrence
are far greater and more expensive
than ever before. France has sur
rounded her frontiers and her capital
with q continuous line of forts and en-
trenchments. Germany has made
Metz, Strasburg, Mayence, and Cologne
gigantic fortresses, which seem abso-
lutely impregnable. Italy has fortified
her Alpine passes, her sea-ports, and
even the Eternal City itself. Belgium
is spending forty millions of francs in
the construction of redoubts with cupo-
las of steel, to close the passage by the
Mas valley. The war budgets are
everywhere increasing in enormous
proportions. "And it is under this con-
tinual menace of the most frightful
shock OF armies that our planet will
ever have looked upon," writes M. dc
Laveleye, ''that we live. And the most
extraordinary thing is, that we get used
to it. We 90 about our business, our
pleasures; we rush in crowds from all
parts to the Paris exhibition, while
each one says: 1t may be for to-mor-

ored separately by our patent process, which
has met with such universal approval and the
boundary lines OF separate counties easily
distinguished. great many railroads have
been recently completed new counties have
been erected and such multitude of new
towns have sprung into existence, that quite
section of this Map presents q complete con-
trast to all older maps. The change is most
marked in that portion OF the Map which COW
ers the States and Territories OF the West,
Northwest. Southwest and South. During 1888
over 1000 miles of track were laid in the United
States, and of this grand total 529 miles are ac-
credited to Kansas, $40 to California and 446
miles to Georgia, these States having been Sc
lected tOshow how numerous the changes were
during last year. There is Also shown on this
Map the complete mileage of 1889 up to about
May lst The four new States. South Dakota,
North Dakota Montana and Washington. are
clearly outlined, and the present bounds of the
Oklahoma country in Indian Territory are
shown. The portions of Canada and Mexico
which appear on the margin of the Map, show
railroad stations and prominent features,
such as Lakes. Mountains, Rivers, etc. and
cover the country so far as to include Lake
Winnepeg on the North and about half of Mex
leo on the South.

Spurious Ten-Doilar American Gold Piecc'
Made by Them In Mexico.

An Paso (Tex) special says: A nest OF
counterfeiters was broken up Just across
the river in Jaurez. Mexico, to-day. Seye-
raj DAYS ago a young stockman. Charles
Jones, wss sitting in front of the Grand
Central Hotel, in this city, when he was
approached by neatly dressed man, who
gave his name as X. III. Allen, OF 81. Louis,
The latter entered into conversation
with Jones. in the course of which ne
stated that be could put Jones into a
scheme to make $4,000 for $500 II
Jones would give him 5 per cent. OF the
$4,000. Jones agreed TO the proposition,
whereupon Allen told him that he knew
man in Jaurez who was making counter
felt ten-dollar gOl / pieces that could not
be distinguished from the genuine, and for
81. 500 Jones could get $4,000 in counter
feits. Jones expressed a desire 10 see the
money first and Allen promised TO arrange
so that he could.
Yesterday Jones went 10 President T.. IS;
Bronson, Of the Texas State Bank, ana
laid the matter before him. Mayor Cam
dano, of JaureZ was also sent for and
agreed to have two officers shadow Jones
when he visited the cOunterfeiters
den to-day. About noon Allen met
Jones in this city and told nm
that his friend. the cOunterfeiter.
whom he called Martin. would meet Jones
in the plaza in Jaurez at o'clock this
afternoon. Jones kept the engagement
and met Martin. who took him into little
adobe on Pack street. showed him his dies.
and cast $40 gold piece for him to bring
over on this side and try at the banks.
Jones put the money IN his pocket and az
the same time covered Martin with pistol
and called for the police outside.
Martin tried TO destroy his dies by
stamping on them and partially succeeded
before the police could interfere. He was
placed in Jail in Juarez. In the mean time
Allen had been arrested on this side. The
ten-dollar gold piece looks Ike a genuine
American coin.
