TO BE ELECTROCUTED.
The Awful Sentence Imposed on Mrs
Lizzie Halliday.

Mrs. Lizzie Halliday convicted OF murder,
was brought into court at Monticello, N, y,
for sentence She came in with Sheriff
Beecher with the same measured step, the
same downcast eyes, and the same exhibition
of stupidity that have characterized her de-
meanor throughout the ordeal. She was
pushed down into her chair, where she be-
gan the same actions carried on during the
trial. She covered her face to her eyes with
her handkerchief, and rubbed her nose and
stroked her chin.
Judge Edwards was l8 minutes late. While
he was looking over his code, Lizzie at
tempted to rise, but was forced down into her
chair District Attorney Hill moved that SEN
tence he passed upon Elizabeth Halliday.
Four officers then held her up. The usual
questions were put to her, hut she answered
none. Hew body swayed In the grasp Of the
officers but there was no expression ON her
face; she jerked her head up and down,
stamped her heel once or twice, but at no
time raised her head.
Lawyer Carpenter watched her, his eyes dim,
and sincere pity showing In his face. Judge
Edwards spoke in low, measured tones In
imposing sentence, and the room was ihsuf-
ferably quiet, 80 eager were the listeners to
catch every word. Mr. Carpenter responded
to the judges invitation to speak by sayings

Tears streamed down his cheeks az the
Judge condemned her to death by electricity
at the place designated by the state, 10 the
week beginning Monday Aug. @, 1894. LIZ
gie was then led out, without sign OF reeog-
milton OF the terrible sentence.

Paul Bourget, the wonderful Paris
ian author of "Cosmopolis" and other
romances, speaks of America as the
greatest example of audacious modern
ism. the creation of democracy and
science, which are the grand, myst eri-
GUS, gloomy disturbers of the old
world. Over against its vast, black,
unesthetic, almost rude concentration
of superlative power called Chicago,
this terrible democracy erected IN a
moment of play, white city as beau
tiful as a poets dream, whose vanish
ing palaces were not merely colossal,
but also in g grand way simple, in
gsnious, graceful and symmetrical
The prosaic spirit of the age has built
its rude western cities, and now turns
to manifest to the world that 1t is
competent, nay, eager. to conceive md
love the most superb and admirable
ideals. The golden sunlight of llli-
nois, the gray-green waters of Lake
Michigan, the illimitabls verdure Of
the prairies, saw in the fair the orea'
ton of an imperishable new object les
son for the ages, by American artists,
designers and executive leaders, from
our own ranks.

The London Daily News SAYS The terri
bic news Of the assassination Of the presi.
dent Of the French republic will be received
with a shock Of horror all over the civilized
world. No such blow has been struck by po-
litical hatred aud funaticism since the bullet
of tn" insane Guiteau mortally wounded
President Garfield, or the pistol OF Wilkes
Booth Killed President Lincoln.
M. Carnot. like the presidents Of the sister
republic. was a man whom not only his own
couutrv-men, but other nations regarding
with the utmost confidence and respect In
difficult and even dangerous times. he has
filled his exalted post with personal dignity
and political sAgacitv which have been of
the greatest service to the world. He has
brought the republic through more than one
crisis which has threatened its stability, and
has kept his country at peace.
He was in many respects an ideal preSi-
dent His removal at this time must not
only he great calamity for France, but a
misfortune to Europe. His period Of Office
wonldhave concluded with the present year,
and there seemed to be every prospect of his
reelection. His presidency will be regarded
as the most brilliant ana successful OF the
series. His death, following the brutal at
tack made upon him, is very serious calam-
ity for France and for Europe.
"Ths fatal event IL likely to create not only
lust and righteous indignation at murder
most foul and most horrible but also an i'm
patience ~ the very existence Of the AnarCh-
lat group. One result must follow Wherever
these people are harhored there must be
greater watchfulnrss over the public men,"
Tho Daily Chronicle says Lincoln died In
theatre at the hand OF a mnatic enraged ut
the defeat of the confederacy which the
president intended to let down SO gently.
President Garfield fell likewise under the but
let of one who was not mad. save in pOlit-
cal sense. These Pc the only parallels that
history affords t, the flc dish atrocitv OF last
night.
at was undetstoo that President Carnot
lidnot seek reelection that might have been
MS for the asking. He was content having
lone his duty blamelessly and impartially, to
retire to private life carrying the good will OF
he nation. the confidence OF statesmen, and
he appreciation OF his own conscience.
Never was man less likely to exc .te per
sonal vengeance; and, unless we are to sup
pose that he has been the victim OF Il mad
mans frenzy 1t must ho assumed that he has
oeen stricken because he did not pardon the
Anarchists who were recently guillotined for
:he murders of innocent men and women.
"Sadi-Carno is living dead slain by the
wild injustice Of blind savaSery. A mad
ness so perfectly imbecie IA that Of his asas-
sin the world has never yet known. 1t is
only too probable that the foul deed will give

Undismayed by their experience in
the Suez and Panama enterprises, the
French are undertaking to build an
other great canal. They have now de-
termined to connect the Bay of Biscay
with the Mediterranean by canal
over 400 miles long, from A to 2l5
feet wide and from twenty eight to
thirty-four feet deep, and with widened
passing places every eight miles. There
will be twenty-five locks, each $50 feet
in length and eighty feet in width.
The cost is calculated at 800, 900, 900.
1t is, however, safe to say that it will
be much more. 1t is claimed by its
promoters that besides greatly expe-
diting commerce, this waterway will
be OF vast political significance. If it
could only be kept open in war, Glib
raltar, the strongest fort in the world,
would be rendered useless, and France.
instead of England, would hold the
"Key to the Mediterranean"

In the Forum is an interesting arti-
Gle telling how Baltimore satisfactorily
disposed of the tramp nuisance. 1t
established comfortable lodging
house, to which male dodgers were ad.
mitted on the condition that they paid
for the accommodation in work The
police stations were then closed against
the tramps, and they were all referred
to the lodging house. The result was
that many poor and worthy men were
satisfactorily assisted, while the use
less, idle beggars, Mortified at the
thought of having to work for any
thing, have drifted away to find com
munities that will give them something

Henry L. Higginson, who gener,
ously gave Soldiers Field to Harvard
College for athletic sports, has written
letter to the captain of the college
baseball team that other ball players
mightread with profit: He says Good
manners and a sense OF justice call for
change or two in the ways of Har-
ward students at the games. Cheer
ing bad play of an opponent is un-
kind. Cheering to worry an opponent
is shabby. Cheering in our home for
our men only is at least ungraceful

There Is nothing new that can be said about

old-time desire to make large deals and lay
stock In excess OF demand seems to have gone

immigration to South Dakota.

An enthusiastic meeting of the Aber-
deer Land District Immigration asso-
citation was held at the parlors OF the
Sherman a few days ago. Upwards
OF twenty OF the NEST progressive
members were present, and the sub
isct OF immigration IA fair and
freely discussed and a number OF ex-
cellent plans advanced, looking to-
ward the encour agement OF eastern
farmers thinking OF comingto this sec
ton. At the present time there are
nearly 400,0 600 acres Of fertile agricul-
tural lands open for settlement in this
district, and nowhere in the entire
northwest are offered better advan-
tages to bona file settlers. Pamph-
let's and maps, descriptive OF the won
deriuI o. this | nd district,
will be printed and distributed broad
cast throughout the east and south.
The Milwaukee, the Northwestern and
the Great Northern Railway com.
panies have expressed a desire to do
everything in their power to induce
immigration this spring. Everything
considered AT this early date, the out
look is indeed encouraging for a
healthy immigration boom during
1894.
