After all is told, the people who are interested
in proving that electricity is as harmless as a
sucking dove can't get much satisfaction out of
the KEMMLER execution. The truth about the
matter seems to be that electricity will kill, and
kill dead, even when administered in extremely
uncertain doses by excessively frustrated people,
who never did know much about the best meth
DDS of inducing the lethean current to flow with
life destroying force and fullness through the
nerves and tissues of the human subject

The retirement of Surgeon General MOORE on
account of old age has enabled the President to
fill this important post in the War Department
with man who is thoroughly competent and
will conduct the Office on business principles
and according to modern methods The high
Office of Surgeon General is no place for an an
tediluvian or a man in his dotage. The incum-
bent Of the position should be thoroughly in
accord with the progressive spirit of the age
and capable of treating the business men who
have dealings with the Department in bust
ness-like manner and not subjecting them to
delay, petty annoyances, and even insult.
Those who know DR.. BAXTER, who was yester-
day nominated by the President as the successor
of Surgeon General MOORE, feel confident that
he will discharge his duties faithfully and well
and bring the Office up to high plan of effci-
ency.

Governor HILL raised himself in the estima
tion of every lover of fair play by his refusal to
allow the New York militia to be used in the
New York Central Railroad strike in any way
except strictly and solely to preserve order and
to prevent the destruction of property, It's too
often the custom OF both State and municipal
authorities TO allow the police and the militia to
be used by corporations to temporarily replace
workmen who have been driven to strike by the
oppression and greed Of their powerful and
wealthy employers. True, the sudden stoppage
of trains on a great railroad system is public
calamity but no sane man will pretend that the
railroad employees haven't the right TO strike
Perhapsit is a good thing for the American pub
lie to be sharply reminded occasionally that our

not consist wholly Of iron and steel and capital,
and that American citizens, no matter how hard

oned with when they are engaged in any enter
prise, even as mere 'hirelngs." 1t is too much
the fashion among certain classes of Americans
to forget the paramount rights Of manhood in
any and every social question which may arise

VISITORS TO LEAVE THE CITY TO-DAY

A public reception was given at the
Episcopal residence last night in honor of
Cardinal Gibbons, and several thousand
people passed through, receiving the Cardi-
nal's blessing.
1t was announced to begin at z O'Clock,
but long before that hour an immense
throng was gathered in front of the resi-
dence, lining the pavement and scattering
into the middle of the street.
The Cardinal entered the room and took
his place at o'clock, but it was some time
before the doors were thrown open to the
anxious crowd. In the eastern part
of the front parlor is bay
window, which was prepared as place from
which the Cardinal received his people. 1t
was formed with a canopy OF red, there
being no decorations to break the solid wall
of cardinal. A platform was raised a
few incaes from the floor, and covered with
fur rugs, and on this platform were four
chairs. The Cardinal entered and sat in one
Of the chairs, while Archbishop Ryan fol-

great majority of the members of the church
did not attend the reception.


Yesterday was the feast of th& Immaculate
Conception of the Virgin Mary and was a
holiday of obligation in the Catholic
Church. The service; wers in nearly all re-
spects similar to those held on Sundays. 1t
was Pop. Plus TX. who formulated this
dogma, and it is observed as one of the grea:-
est feasts of the Church.
AT the Cathedral masses were celebrated
every half-hour after $50 A. NJ. At 1880
high mass was celebrated. Archbishop
Ryan and the Bishops, who were in the city
yesterday, said mass at an early hour during
the day. Cardinal Gibbons celebrated his
mass at $50, but, as it was not known at
what hour he would appear, there was only
a small attendance. The Cardinals mass
does not differ much from that celebrated by
the priests.
All the ceremonies for which the Cardinal
and Archbishop came to the city are passed,
and the dignitaries will leave the city to-day,
the latter going TO Philadelphia and the
former returning to Baltimore. The visiting
bishops and priests will also return to their
different houses to-day and tomorrow.

were also largely represented. Ladies and
gentlemen were present from Wheeling and
Altoona, while dozens of people came in
from the nearby towns to attend the recep-
ton. AT 9 o'clock the last OF the crowd had
passed through and the Cardinals tiresome
task of handshaking was over. He imme-
diately retired from the parlor, but Arch
bishop Ryan and the visiting bishops and
priests circulated among those of the people
who remained in the parlor and talked soci-
ally of the affairs of the church.
COSTUME OF THE CARDINAL.
During the reception Cardinal Gibbons
was costumed in the scarlet cassock and
bareta, the insignia of his position in the
Church. The Archbishop wore a purple
robe, and the Bishops were attired in their
usual robes. The Reception Committee was
in full dress, and each wore in the lapel of
his coat a cardinal button with a purple
ribbon background, in honor of the Cardinal
and Archbishop.
The reception committee was headed by
James j. Flannery, and was composed of
