THIS DOES SETTLE IT.!
kemmlers esprit" Declares
That Death Was Painless

Auburn, N. T., August "a
plumber ofspiritualists of this city de-
termined to settle for themselves the
question raised by the doctors as to
the amount of pain suffered by VIM.
Kemmler during his execution by
electricity. So they secured the ser
vices OF trace medium, at a small
gathering held at the house Of we'll
known citizen.
The medium was not long in put
ting himself en- rapport with the spirit
world, and in a short time declared
himself under the influence Of the late
MIR. Kemmler. In answer to several
questions Kemmler declared that he
was greatly amused at the fuss the
doctors were making about his "tak-
ing off, He said that, with the ex-
ception of slight tingling when the
current was first turned on him, he
felt no sensation whstever. His spirit
vas released by the first shock, and it
was present in the execution room in 4

OUR POSTAGE STAMPS.
How They Are Manufactured
and Distributed i'm the
Interest OF Uncle
Sam.

Some people imagine that Uncle
Sans postage Stamps are printed in
Washington, but such is not the fac,.
They are all made by the American
banknute company in New York city,
which has the contract from the gov,
eram7uI, Uncle SAM pays a small
fraction over seven certs a thousand
for them and their manufacture is a
pretty big job, for during the last
year eleven hundred pillions Of them
were used representing a value of
S27 1896, 900. OF this enormous mum
Der 1. Az, 900, 900 and odd were two
cent stamps.
The Stamps sre printed from en-
grased steel plates big enough to
strike off 400 of them on sheet at a
single stroke of the press. After be-
ing struck off in this way the sheet
passes beneath a revolving brush car
rying muciage, by which the back of
the sheet is gummed. The sheet is
then dried and flattened by a hy-
draul'c pr IS. Next it is run through
a performing machine, which is an ar.
rangemenr of little wheels revolving
parallel to each o'her, and Just far
enough apart to make the pc. forations
as one sees them in sheet of finished
stamps fresh bought at the postoffice.
After the perforations have been made
across the sheet one way by one ma
chine, the sheet must pass through a
second perfOrating nlachiae for the
cross perfura.ions, the stamps
being thus outlined so rs
to be readily torn apart.
in the middle of each machine,
however, is a knife which cuts the
sheet in two 80 that the sheet of 400
comes out of machine No. in two
sheets of 200 each. and these are Ill
vided irtO four sheets of 100 each by
the knife in m chime No. 2. All
stamps come in sheets of 100 for sale.
The stamps are now done, and only
remain to be gone over, inspected,
counted aud tagged in packages of
LOO sheets before being scot out. AS

The electrocution of Kemmler has
brought out much learned discussion.
Enough has been developed, however,
to show that there is need for more in
vestigation as to the potency and the
certainty of the electrical current, and
for the more reliable arrangement of
the scientific apparatus, before cleo
tricsl execution can be accepted as
the wisest and most effective meth d
for taking the lives Of murderers. 1t
seems that the alternating current
that was used i'm this instance is capa-
BILE of destroying life surely. That
when properly applied. it can be made
to accomplish that result quickly and
painlessly, will be generally believed.
Society insists that "whoso sheddeth
a mans blood, by man shall his blood
ne she'd" but the modern punitive
spirit is imbued with mercy as we'll as
with stern justice. 1t was with the
wholesome desire that capital punish
ment shall be as far as possible devoid
of cruelty and unnecessary suffering,
that electricity was summoned 10 the
aid of the law. Whether it can meet
those ends must now be the subject of
further scientific and legislative con-
sideration.
