WORDS FOR EXECUTION by ELECTRICITY

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: My children send me The Daily Tribune, and
in it see n request that word should be coined for
the new method OF ending life. ] asked friend Of
mine, Greek, Mr.. John Patrldos who Is very learned
and well known here. He has given me the following:
Electroplexy the method; electroplectron the instr
ment electroplex, the person suffering the penalty
To make this clear, the last part the word comes
from the verb "petto." to strike, and means also 10
suffer an evil. "Apoplexia" means struck from ALL
In Greek the word used for apoplexy Is "hemipega"
They also say keraunoplektos" which means struck
dead by thunder
IL struck me that the words give would be the
most correct and at the same time good words for the
new system. Mrs. L. W. X. LASELL.

HUTTSMEN STARTING TO SHOOT DEER ]
THE GAME SAID TO BE COMPARATIVELY PLENTI-
Full THIS SEASON


The LIST Of September is rcd-letter day in the
calendar Of true sportsmen. Since the bells toed off
l9 O'Clock last night the prohibition against shooting
deer IN this State has been withdrawn. Men who like
10 follow the beautiful animal with the hounds are
at liberty to chase them as much they desire.
The trains leaving this city for the northern part Of
NewYOrk carried many anxious and happy Nimrods
yesterday. Doubtless in few days The markets will
be we'll supplied with venison II is true that venisOn
has been for sale since August Is. but until to-day tbs
hunters were only allowed to shoot the deer in the
night time. For that comparatively few amateur
sporsmen have taken advantage Of the privilege. The
venion has been sent TO the city for the most part by
professional hunters.
But the sportsmen are s subject to certain regula-
TONS many Of which, however can be evaded. Tho
game societies have the right to prosecute all hunters
who kill more than three deer. This law has been
enacted in order 10 prevent the determination OF the
herds of deer which plentiful in the
woods and mountains of the State But ii is difficult
for the game guardians to control the huntsmen
Hundreds Of the beautiful animals killed every
season and allowed TO lie in their tracks But tbs
sportsman dare not forget regulation. Although he
may succeed in shooting many deer, he can only send
one carcass from the wilderness. According to the
laws of New-York a railway company is allowed to
carry only one carcass for any Individual hunter.
According TO the reports which have reached this
city from the northern parts Of the State, the deer
abundant this year, and the sport will be unusually
good The mild winters Of 1890 and 1901 were favor
able TO the animals which were able to find food
during the greater part Of the cold season. As a
result they have bred rapidly and fine bucks will be
plentiful
The annual hunt win take place today at Bona
IRON four counties will take part in the chase and
make the woods ring with sportsmen's music the bark
OF the dog and the crack Of the gun"

tial candidates are still premature.
The wise selection of a candidate in

How will the pivotal State of New

ton of the public mind as disclosed

The result of tie elections in these

Again, the choice Of q standard
bearer must be determined in a large
measure by the dominating issues.
