mention. He has omitted also to mention that
the slavery and inetfciency of Parliament-the
terms are his-are due directly and entirely to the
efforts OF his lriSl. allies and, more recently, Of
their English allies with Mr.. Gladstone at the
head; or next but TO the head. Yet even
Mr.. Gladstone cannot, or does not, put everything
into a single sentence.
The action brought by Mrs. Spencer Brunton
against Messrs Maple seems TO have been decided
on the principles of common law and common
sense, and has therefore interest for people in
Amerca-where common law and common-sense
prevail-as well as here. Mrs Brunton had Per
sian carpet which the expert of the South Ken
sin2ton Museum Mr. Purdon Clarke thought the
finest in rho world. 1t Gated from the seventeenth
century and she paid s., 600 for it. This unique
treasure, with five million stitches In it, put
TO no base uses, but was exhibited in Mrs Brun-
tons house as if il had been piece of tapestry.
But as everything does and will in the soOy
air of London, the carpet grew dirty, and Mrs.
Brunton in a rash moment resolved to have it
cleaned. She entrusted it to Messrs. Maple, tell
ing one Of the partners its value-so she says
and though Mr. Bundell Maple denied this, the
Jury believed the lady and not the upholsterers.
Messrs Maple handed il over to Mr.. Anderson
and he in his t\rn sent it TO a Mr. Ireland, who
cleaned it with benzine and hung it up TO dry.
Ireland lived with his wife and four children
in two small rooms. One Of the children struck
a match the vapor Of benzine given of by the
drying carpet took fire, the carpet was ruined
and two children burnt 10 death. AS Messrs.
Maple refused TO pay for the carpet, Mrs Brun-
ton sued Them and the jury gave her verdict
for the full amount claimed No doubt a
righteous verdict. and one which revives little
the decaying faith of the general public in iuries
vcrdicts in those cases where tradesmen are con-
cerned. Messrs. Maple were deemed 10 have been
negligent: the loss occurred in consequence of
their negligence. and they have TO pay. When
the sweating investigation took place before n
committee of the House of Lords, Messrs Maple
were very indignant at being accused of sweat
ing. But | suppose a definition of this practice
might be renned which would cover their acts
in this case, though the decision of it turned on
a wholly different point. At any rate, the pub
lie would be less likely 10 send valuable goods
10 a large firm if they clearly understood that
the actual work was not 10 be done by the firm,
nor by any in its employ. but by a workman
at two removes, living with wife and four

TO the Editor Of the Tribune.
Sir Is there good authority for the word electro
cutono which has been used for the past two weeks
in the papers in reference to the KemmIer tragedy
To my mind it seems to clash with one of the most
important rules Of rhetoric which forbids the usage
Of a word compounded from the Greek and Latin Ian
gagcs Elekron In the Greek and seqUorsequi- secu-
tus sum In the Latin form the combination which
Is the base Of my argument. WM. c. D. ,.

No; "clectrocutIon is not good word and
should not be used 1t violates in its formation
the rules both of grammar and of logic. Elec-
trocdc" is, if possible, still worse The proper
word for death by electric shock is electrothan-
asia There is no excuse for using any other.-Ed)
