COMMENT ON THE DECISION HERE.

The Of Judge Days decision in the Kemmler
case that the providing for execution by electricity
was constitutional caused considerable comment IN
this city yesterday for the interest in the subject
aroused by the hearing OF the reference here is
widespread When Bourke Cochran. who IS kemm-
lers attorney, was seen by reporter yesterday no
said that the decision was great surprise 10 him,
as he hardly expected that judge would shoulder
the responsibility of ovcrthrowing the law. Mr.
Cochran had yet received the papers In the case
but said that he would take appeal 10 the General
Ierm and II that court rcallrned Judge Days de-
cson the matter would be brought before the Court
Of Appeals.

reporter yesterday, what he called the great
victory Of his side. He said that the opponents Of
the law were only fighting for delay, SO that they
could influence tie Legislature TO repeal the act at
It's coming session. Such efforts would be useless

certain kinds of work requiring more
room under the arm, especially for tail
oring and the manufacture of heavy
clothing by power.
These machines are fitted with an inn
proved spool holder which avoids all diff
ffculty with coils of thread dropping from
the spool and with a knee presser-lifter
by which the presser foot may be lifted
at will without the use of either hand,
enabling the operator to turn out great
er amount of work than with the ordi-
nary arrangement.
For foot power, these machines are
provided with loose pulley for winding
the bobbin and are fitted with special
bearings, enabling them to run with the
greatest ease and rapidity.
Every manufacturer or tailor who APP
preciates the Importance of having every
machine turn out the greatest quantity
of work, of the best quality with the
least possible trouble and expense, viii
find that the s'No. 12'' will answer his
purpose admirably.
Another device which merits praise is
the new Wheeler & Wilson head trans
mitter for No. u or ID. u machine. 1t is
superior to all other appliances for the
same purpose in the following respects /:
The whole of the transmitter, except the
treadle parts, is on the head of the machine,
above the table, so that no extra cutting or
fitting of tables is required. The treadle may
be lifted clear of the floor for sweeping. With
this transmitter there is used long belt rum
ming from the main shaft directly to the ma
chine. The machine may be turned back to
be oiled or cleaned without removing the belt.
II can be started or stopped instantly by q
very light pressure and slight movement of
the foot. The construction OF the transmitter
is such that no vibrations communicated
to the tread1e. 1t does not rack the machine
or bring any strain ON the hinges or screws.
In short, it is the most simple, durable and
effective transmitter that has ever been de-
vised.

and the peculiar fitness of the judges for
their positions.
Australia is a land in which American
ideas and especially American machinery
are rapidly gaining foothold and a rec
ognized standing. Among them stand
pre-eminent the Wheeler & Wilson sew
ng machines, which are sent to that dis
tant continent by the ship load.
And all over the world, wherever the
machines are sent, they are recognized
as the standard of the day. 1t is fully
understood, moreover, that the Wheeler
& Wilson Co. are always slightly in adj
vance, bringing out new machine or
improving present style whenever an
Improvement is necessary.
This it is that has caused such popu-
larity for the machines, wherever they
have been introduced and this is the pol
icy which, if pursued in the future, as it
undoubtedly will be. will continue and
augment success already attained.
An article, possessed of merit of the
highest order though it may be, must yet
be introduced to the, public by novel and
attractive means, holding the attention
of those who would purchase and at
tracing, in spite of themselves, those
who otherwise would silently pass it by
and keeping all fully informed of the
good points of the invention.
These methods, joined to the universal
ly recognized merit of the machine, have
done much to produce and maintain the
marvellous success of the Wheeler & Will
son machines.
In the Connecticut department, the
company is fortunate in securing an in
defatigable aud original laborer in George
E. Lincoln, the general agent for Con-
necticut. A vast business is done
through this department, not alone
through the office and agents at 442 Main
street, Bridgeport Mr. Lincoln's head
quarters), but through the branch offices
in each important city and town through
out the State. All are under Mr. Lin
coins supervision and it is to his untir-
ing efforts that much of the home sue
cess of the New No. is due.

OF all the labor saving devices which

built in their shops, not one, probably,
performs its work with more celebrity, ac-
curacy or satisfaction than Wheeler &

w. Ostrom is the inventor. 70 fully de-
scribe it is impossible; the cut gives an

can be made in 10 hours and $500 on knit
