kEMMLER MUST DIE
ByoElectricity SO Says the Supreme
Court.

Court.
WASHINGTON, May 81. The supreme
court of the United States, today denied
the application for u writ of error in the
case OF Kemmler, under sentence of death
by electricity. Opinion by Chief Justice
Fuller: The opinion recites the proceed
lngs in the lower courts leading up to the
bringing OF the case TO this court The
court saps that it is urged in Kemmlers
behalf that the l4th amendment is prohi-
ton on the state of the impositon OF cruel
and unusual punishment this being includ.
ed In the term due process OF law" The
origin OF the phrase, "cruel and unusual
punishment" the court said, was in the
English act OF settlement of loss, and
meant that barbarous methods OF punish
ment should not be inflicted. II meant that
Il man should not be sentenced TO death by
torture but did not mean that the death
penalty itself Was cruel The court Of APP
peals, the opinion says, held that the pun
ishment 10 DO inflicted on Kcmmler was
unusual, but that there is no evidence to
show that IL was cruel. The legislature of
New York had the facts bearing upon this
question and the court must presume that
the Legislature had devised punishment
IL thought less cruel than the former mode.
That decision, the court says, was not
against any special privilege set up by the
prisoner, and was SO plainly right that the
court would not be justified in overruling
IL. The 18th amendment did not IN aterial-
~ change the whole theory OF the govern.
ment Citizens still remain citizens, both
OF the state and of the United States. The
only change is that the amendment fur
nishes an additional guarantee against en-
croachment by the state upon the funda-
mental rights Of the citizens. The priv-
leges ami immunities OF citizens of the
United States are, indeed, protected by
them. Those are the privileges arising out
of the essential nature and character OF the
national government The court quotes
the opinion in the case on the meaning Of
the phrase 'due process of law The
change in the form Of death was within the
legitimate sphere OF the legislative power
OF the state. The legislature of the state
OF New York determined that it did not in
ttict cruel and unusual punishment, and its
courts have sustained that determination.
This court cannot see that the prisoner has
been deprived OF due process of law. In
order to reverse the judgment this court
should he compelled TO hold that the court
Of appeals had committed an error so gross
as TO deprive the prisoner of his constitu-
tional rights.

A CHASTITY ALTAR.
Judge Masterson Swears to Abstain
From Drink

NEW York, May "a. Tho body Of Mrs.
Florence II. Masterton, who hurried from
New Mexico after hearing OF her hush nd's
arrest and who fell dead in the Grand
Union Hotel was the altar on which Judge
Masterson swore abstinence from liquor
during the rest OF his life. ~ am ruined,
utterly ruined" he kept exclaiming, AS he
paced up and down the room. THAT affair
over Mrs. Hopkinson was frightful blow
considering that my relations with her
were perfectly proper. But now to have
my wife die at the time ] need her most,
and in this horrible way Whit use is
money TO man with broken heart, who
has lost everything that makes life worth
living and his absolutely nothing to live
forW. Mrs. Masterson, he said, had come
East not to make up any past quarrels but
for the same reason that would take any
jealous wife to her husbands side upon
hearing that he and a woman alleged TO be
his mistress had been shooting pistols at
each other in mysterious fiat. Mrs. Hop
kinson, he says, had taken charge of GER
tain matters for him, and he had been pay
ing her 81, 900 Ia year salary. The story of
the shooting ARRAY between them had been
printed in all the papers of the country and
of course had come to Mrs. Masterson's
attention. In all of these published stor es
grounds had been given for inference that
improper relations had existed between
him and Mrs. Hopkinson. This was not
true, but Mrs. Masterson had naturally
packed up her things and come TO New
York. She had been a couple of days at
the Grand Union hotel, and had written
him letters 10 his office in Wall street but
he did hot know of her presence Ia town
until she came TO him at his boarding house
yesterday. Mrs. Masterson found fault
with him because he had been drinking,
and a few moments later she left him
abruptly. That was the last time he saw
her alive. Mrs. Hopkinson, who says she
is Judge Mastersons cousin, said in speak
ing of Mrs Masterson's sudden death
II did not know of it till the judge called
here and informed me. Then we went
around together, and there l made him
swear on his Bonded knees by the side OF
mis- wife's corpse that he would never touch
another drop of liquor

A Very Queer EIopemcnt.

The story of n very queer elopement
comes from Sullivan county, Pa, at the
upper end of the Loyalsock valley. Pounce
Bailey, n lumberman, and a man 65 years
old, whose wife died last winter, fell in
love few weeks ago with a comey young
German girl, VINO was working as u domes-
tic for "a farmer who lived near Bailey's.
The girl had recently arrived in this coun-
try, spoke but little English, and was Is
years old. Rounce was so ardent in his
wooing that he won the girl and they were
married last mouth. The girls mother,
Mrs. Katherine Kline, was at the time act
ing as housekeeper for Ia German in Potter
county. She knew nothing of her Gaugh
ters marriage until week or ton days ago,
when she was informed of the fact by "A
letter from the girl. Mrs. Kline at once
journeyed TO the headw tiers of the Loyal
sock TO see about it. When she arrived at
her son-in-law's house she seemed pleased
with Bailey, aud the marriage was APP
proved by her. Mrs. Kline is described as
means prepossessing in appearance. For
all that she had not been in her son-in-law's
house two days before she had gained his
regard to such "a degree that her daughter
was forced TO protest against the conduct
of her husband and her mother. They
ignored her protests and she told her
mother that she must leave the house
Mrs. Kline did so on Friday, but she took
her daughters husband with her, or at
least he followed her as soon as he heard
that she was gone. The pair are now to-
gether in Potter county. Mrs. Kline can
cot speak q word OF English and Bailey
knows no German. The deserted wife is
said TO have taken the affair philosophical.

THE TURKISH KISSERS.
Now Thereri be a Big Time in Tur-
kew.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May est has been
nscertalned that the ladies belonging TO the
Russian embassy who were assaulted while
walking AT Bnyukdere were not the daugh-
ter of the chief dragoman OF the embassy
and her governness but his wife and
daughter. Neither were the offenders four
Turkish soldiers, as as first stated, but
were Il Turkish officer and five students.
The ladies were walilingin the garden when
they were seized 10y the officer and students
who forcibly kissed them A party of
sailors belonging TO IA Russian dispatch
boat happened TO be in the garden. They
heard the ladies' cry for help and ran 10
their rescue. They captured four of the
assailants, but the fifth succeeded in max
ing his escape for the time being. The
sailors conveyed their prisoners 10 the Rus
sian embassy and delivered them into the
keeping Of NJ. dc Nelidorf, the Russian
ambassador.
The day after the assault was committed
the man who made his escape was arrested
and locked up at the embassy, where he
and his companions are still detained.
The Turkish authorities asked that tho
prisoners be turned over TO them for trial
and punishment, but M. de Neidorf re-
fuses TO transfer them TO the Ottoman Off
Gals, basing his refusal on the ground that
Turkish justice is illusory.
The affair has created much comment and
1t is feared that IL will result in complica-
tions between the Russian and Turkish
governments.

STRANGE WEDDING.
Married Against Their Wills and
Now Comes Divorce.


A strange case that has set gossips by
the ears has just developed. Bertha
Wiese, the daughter of Henry Wiese,
about i've miles from Davenport,
Iowa, was widely known and much
sought by the young gentlemen OF her
neghborhood, but her favor was shown to
Gustav Eckermann, a neighbor and de-
serving young man. There was no engage
ment between them, but they we're quite
often together aud there seemed TO be some
sentiment on each side. Her parents be.
came convinced that improper rel lions
had existed between the two and the
daughter was told that she must marry
Eckermann. She begged with the most
heartrending opportunities that this be not
forced upon her, but her parents were in
cxorable. The magistrate was summoned
and the young man was sent for. He, too
denied that there had ever been any i'm.
proper relations between himself and Miss
Wiese and refused to submit TO the sacri-
flee demanded Of him, but, seeing that the
girl was overborne by the urgings Of her
parents, and caring too much for her 10
desert her, he consented and the ceremony
proceeded After it was over the unwill-
ing groom went again to his home and his
fearful bride remained with her mother.
Soon after the young woman was taken
seriously i'll and u physician was called.
An operation was performed upon the
young lady at Mercy Hospital in this city
IA day or so ago, by which she was relieved
of tumor Of 20 pounds weight She is
now on the WY to recovery, but her par
ents are heartbroken at the injustice done
her. The marriage will probably be
annulled.
