ing most Of his not particularly valuable
time in shooting arrows and pouring hot
oil from the tops OF his towers upon the
heads of his enemics--no one will deny
that during these little neighborhood

cerned. home was the best place for her.
Later, when with axe and gun he clear
ed the forest, and protected his cabin
from wild beasts while seeking food and
fuel for its inmates, it was quite accord
ing to the fitness Of things that the
feminine portion OF the family should
stay indoors to keep the fire and to cook
the food. But social safety and comfort
are no longer secured by arrow. axe and
gun. but by money made in busi-
ness, and votes cast into ballot-box.

HIS LAST HOPE GONE.

Tho Federal Supreme Court Decides 1hae
New York's Law Tor Electric Execu-
tiOns Il Valtd-Thls Means That kemn-
Ier Must Ne.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-By decision
Of the Supreme Court Of tie United
States yesterday the last h..pe for life
afforded William Kemmler, the New
York murderer under sentence to death
by electricity, was banishe.l, and he
will accordingly be executed In con-
formity with the new law governing ex-
ecutions in New York State. The de-
cision was on an application For writ
of error made by Roger NJ. Sherman, Of
New York, counsel for Kemmler, ar
gued last Tuesday. The court was
unanimous in denying the application.
The opinion was delivered by Chief
Justice Fuller.
The opinion is lengthy one and gave
evidence Of careful preparation. II
called attention to the fact that the
constitution OF the State of New York
and that Of the United States were
almost identical. The legislature Of
New York, after careful examination
of all the questions connected with tho
proposition for the utilization Of cleo
tricity as method OF producing death,
had decided that 1t is not more cruel
than the methods heretofore en-
ployed and recognized by law,
but more humane method. The
Legislature has . right to deter
mine the method Of punishment
which shall be inflicted upon those
violating the laws, provided the method
does not interfere with the rights OF .
person under the constitution Of the
United States. Such unusual and cruel
punishments as burning at the stake,
disemboweling, or torture would not be
recognized by the law of civilized ma
tions, but there seems to have been no
evidence before the courts or Legis-
laturc to warrant conclusion that the
form of death proposed was cruel in .
greater degree than that recognized by
the constitution. and accepted as law
of the land, and as kemmler's crime
was committed after the date at which
the act was to take effect no sufficient
reason is urged or found for writ Of
error, and it is therefore denied.
The condemned man will have to be
rcsentenced. The case will come up
before United States Circuit Judge
Wallace. who made the order to operate
as stay Of proceedings to save Keinm-
ler's life until tho United States Su-
preme Court could pass upon the qnes-
tons involved. 1t is supposed that
Judge Wallace. when the order becomes
returnable on the third Monday in juno
next, will vacate it
