Electrical Sensations.

The testimony taken before referee in
New York, to determine whether or not
executions Of criminals by electricity would
be cruel, and therefore unconstitutional in
that state, has brought out some interest
ing statements concerning the sens Itions Of
people VINO have received electric shocks
For instance, one person, who had come
into contact with tho wires of a dynamo
exactly Ike that to be used in New York
if the Gerry law is declared consttu-
tional, stated that he remembered
feeling as if he had been pei ed with bricks,
then as if all Of the fill g5 had been jerkel
out of his. teeth, and then as if he had
been tied in a knot, scOurged all over with
bundle of loose steel rods, and throw n
violently to the ground. Another witness
testified that be felt as if he had
been severely beaten, aud that after
ward he was very sore. Another
said that he felt a terrible vibration
Of the nerves and of the entire BODY, and
that it seemed as If he were shaking 10, 900
times a second. Another said that he felt
as if he had been struck in the stomach
with base ball bat, as if his arms had been
pulled out two feet longer, aud as if his
muscles and flesh had been stretched and
torn.
Each of these witnesses received about
1000 vols, and it appears from their testi-
moay that the sens tons they experienced
differed very greatly. All of them were
able to resume work in day or two. Ono
Of them said that he did not think dis
charge Of 800 volts would kill, even if it
Nere an alternating current. He also s lid
That the men at the plants did not dread "a

When the testimony is all in, the referee
will make report to the court, which will
decide the constitutionality of the law

should BIS declared unconstitutional. Kemm-
Ter, who has been sentenced to death under
it, could not be executed at all.

The idaho constitutional convention has
run against a snag. 1t is in the shape OF
question whether or not the Mormon clti-
zans shall be disfrauchised. There are a
great many Mormons IN Idaho and they
are very active and aggressive. II there
were nothing in Iiaho's constitution pro-
hibiti'g poIygamy the Mormons Of Utah
might -udlealv determine TO abandon that
territory for Idaho as soon as the latter
becomes a state, and if they should be in
the majority they might defy the national
government 10 interfere with their peculiar
institution.
The MOrmons in Utah are very much an
noyed by the Edmunds' law. Not very long
ago there was 4 movement among them 70
emigrate TO Mexico. 1t came to no hing,
however, because they found that in Mexico
the influence Of the Catholic church would
be against polygamy. They might emigrate
to Nevada and capture that state, but they
would, ia all probability, starve to death
there. The soil is so sterile that it would
not sustain large p ,pulation.
Idaho, however, has plenty Of land that
is fit for agricultural purposes. Her soil
and climate are good If the Mormons
could get possession Of the new state they
could do pretty much as they pleased.
OF cour-e there is nothi z to justify q
suspicion that they have any purpose Of
getting possession of her. Some Of her
ablest men, however, think it would be
wise to put clause in the constitution pro-
hibiting polygamy. The MormOns would
be permitted to worship as they pleased, .
but they would be cut off from a practice
that is condemned by both the common and
the moral law.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.

Few Pointers In Relation Thereto.

view. containing complete and compre-
bensve statement OF the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued early in September
The year ending Sept. l, 1889, will be a
memorable one i the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING News proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
DONE is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The MORNING NEWS il its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities in the union
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great less Of her future.
They have proven by the various local i'm
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water hartor
and her great railroad systems will, in
few years. make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING News will, in its Trade
Review, present to the wor d Savannah Of
to-day" IN a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the business Of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business

prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be newspaper whic
those who feel pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business men an opportun-
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size as
well as in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however
depends entirely upon the orders it re-
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired to distribute $4,000 copies
and that number will be distributed, if the

The New York Press calls attention to an
application pending in the English parlia-
ment for a charter to construct a harbor at
a place known as eau Down on tae west
ern coast of England. The work of re-
claiming the marshes in that locality has
been going on for tive lty years, and it is
expected that the Great Western railway
of England will soon extend its system to
that point
If the harbor of Brean Down is con-
structed it is probable tlat it will be posi-
BILE for the ocean racers to cross the Allan
tic in five days. The distance from New
York TO Brean Down IS 2,952 miles, and
from Brean Down to London 40 miles
The distance from New York t. Liverpool
is 1850 miles and from Liverpool to Londo
go miles. The new route would be 1853
miles shorter an the Liverpool route.
As port Brean Down would have some
advant ges over any other English port.
1t would be near the Welsh coal fields. and
there would be plenty of room to provide
accommodations for live stock The route
for large steamers is an excellent one. and
there would be no delay for the mails as at
present at Queenstown. 1t is not at all
improbable that in the very near future a
line of steamers will be running between
New York and Brean Down. With a
shorter route and slight Increase in the
speed of steamers the time of the run from
shore to shore may be reduced t. five DAVIS.

Health in Summer.

Physicians don't agree concerning the
best way to keep well during the summer
months. Some recommend 0 @ set of rules,
aud others recomme I'D another. DR.. Will
lam A. Hammond says that ice water
should be avoided altogether, and other
physicians say that the use of ice water III
small quaint les and at short interv Is is
beneficial. One says that the eating of light
meals Is essential to health at this season,
and another says that person may safely
eat about as much as ne pleases.
The views of DR.. John Morris, Of Balt-
more, upon this subject seem to be sensible
and we'll co sidered. He says that to retail /
good hoalth in summer, one should get as
much fresh air as possible, guard against
excess in eating, exercise in moderation,
and keep cool. He thinks that fruits should
form a considerable part of ones diet, but
that great care should be take that the
fruit is sound and ripe, as probably more
sickness during summer is caused by
unsound and unripe fruit than by
anything else. Pure milk is also
recommended. and rice is claimed to
be tho best summer food, as it is cooling.
and tends to keep the stomach in good con
dition. The summer bill of fare that he
suggests is a small quantity of meat and
rice, frult', vegetables and milk. What he
says about the care OF young children in
summer seems to be OF especial value. He
thinks they should be bathad and rubbed
systenaucally-in cold water in the morn
ing, and at night in water that has been
warmed in the sun. OF course, their food
should be absolutely pure II they
are given milk, it should be-
kept at temperature of from TO- to
So. They should be in the open air as
much as possible, but in shady places. If
they can't go to the country, let them play
in the parks and squares. One of tha most
important things to do is to keep them cool,
as The summer diseases to which they are
liable are eau 'ed mainly by heat DR..
Morris was Formerly president of tn
Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Mary
land, and he has given much study to this
question.

has claims for being considered q public
benefacJor. He p opposes to exterminate
flies and mosquitoes He has a plan for do
ing so, and if it proves to be successful he

Mr.. Lamborn calls attention to the state
ments of German experimenters that flies
and mosquitoes are not only troublesome,
but also dangerous. Experiments justify
the belief that flies carry tuberculosis and
ophthalmia from dis ased persons to healthy
ones, and it has been satisfactorily demon
stra ed that blood maladies are transmitted
by the mosquito.
Mr.. Lamborn proposes to get rid of flies
and mosquitoes. How does he propose TO do
