Extraordinary VS.. Electrocution.

To the Editor OF the EvESrSG STAR:
law Of the state of New York authorizing
the execution by means of electricity of per
sons condemned to death for crime has at last
been declared constitutional and that mode of
execution now appears likely to prevail. not
only in that state, but also in other states of
the American Union. The pr ess of the coun-
try, anticipating these facts. have already been
casting about for an appropria te and consistent
name Tor the new method of taking by law a
forfeited life. The writer having seen IN print
some very crude and unclas sic terms mostly
mongrel or hybrid formations, begs leave to
suggest word. or series of words. that he
hopes will be found free from the objections
named and yet be formed from materials that
shall definitely express the idea under cOnsid-
Grafton. The Engish-readiIig world have been
made entirely familiar with the element than

mired ''IhanatOpsIs." and with the same ele-
ment also III a slightly modified FORM thauasia

nom thanasy. by the freq aent use of the word

Senses of ui;~ phrase. 1aIis element then is
well adapte,. - suggest the idea of that easy
painless death for which the kindly law makers
OF the empire state strOye to make provision
IN their late Legislation. Let us now as will
doubtless have been anticipated, prefix the ele-
ment electro, drawn from the same Greek
source, and We have the euphonIous and signif-
ieant word electroth Ilasy, whose accent should
De on than, and tins syllable be pronounced
II need scarcely be said. as 1t is in the familiar
proper name Nathaniel
Inc writer adds few examples o: what he
regards as proper use OF the word now sug-
gested and OF some of its congeners:
J. No form OF execution can be devised more
speedy, more certain or more painless than
that by Ciectrothans.sy
z \ few erratic friends OF crime and the
criminal have been slow TO adopt and defend
the idea of eiectroJhanatism

may be proud TO be ranked rs the first ELECTRO

turn.

to die. and Oh the day appointed he paid the

ner. The report of the cxecu-
tive committee was then read by Prof. Mac
LoSkey. The report showed a wonderful
growth of the society in the past year and
recommended certain changes in the consttu-
ton of the organization. At it's conclusion
Rev. DIR. Mcintosh delivered an address on
The Making of an fisherman" The appoint
ment and announcement of the various COM
mittees occupied the balance of the time of
the morning session.

SPARRING FOR WIND.
The Washington Ball Team Take a Rest
Before Beginning "a New Lease.

The Statesmen did not play yesterday. and
possibly it was a good thing, for a few days of
rest sandwiched in between these dark DAYS of
defeat will do the team good. They cannot
do it any harm. Ted Sullivan, it seems. has
not been letting the grass grow under his feet
while his colts are limping backward as news
comes this morning from Worcester that he
has jus: signed Peter Daniels. the left-handed
pitcher whom Pittsburg has just released
Manager Sullivan signed this man for Pittsburg
last year and thinks good deal of him. He
reported to the team last night and is expected
to pitch today
This is healthy sign. showing, as it does,
that. instead Of sitting down and bewailing the
sliding process in which the Senators are in
dulging, he is hustling around in his old style
to cover up the weak points IN the team. That
Is the true managerial spirit. But. Judging
from the scores that come down from the north.
1t would seem that the team does not need
pitchers as much as 1t does practice in batting
curved balls. Manager Ted is probably seeing
to this fault as well as the other.
The New Haven team Won from the VIII
mingtons yesterday-l0 to 5-by means of a
great batting streak in the ninth which resulted
IN seven runs. Stein and Williams and Horner
and Hoford were the batteries. New Haven
made 10 hits and 3 errors and Wilmington 8
hits and errors
NEWARK opened n new pail park yesterday
and. IN the presence of 1000 people, defeated
Jersey City by the score of 10 to 3. Miller and
Duffy and McDermott and Dowd were the bat
teries. Newark made 10 hits and errors and
Jersey CITY hits and 9 errors.
