HIS LAST HOPE GONE,
The United States Supreme Court Refus
to Honor Mckane's Appeal.

to Honor Mckane's Appeal.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The appeal of
John Y. McKane, the imprisoned ex-
boss of Gravesend, to the United States
supreme court was decided against him
to-day, Justice Harlan delivering the
opinion. McKane in his appeal con-
tended that he should have been al
lowed TO 60 on bail pending the appeal,
Us the constitution meant to confer the
right in all but capital cases.
The justice held that the matter of
bail in such case was entirely within
the jurisdiction of the state court and
that the warden of Sing Sing prison
had no right to return Mckane to the
sheriff of New York pending the APP
peal, as the appeal had no effect upon
his Imprisonment in Sing Sing prison.

PETER COOPER'S
ILLUSTRATORS OF CSURT

Mr.. Cooper was careful and prudent
business men. He was always opposed
to the methods of many merchants,
who launched out in extravagant enter
prises on borrowed money, FOR which
they paid exorbitan. rates of interest.
Once, while talking about project
with an acquaintance, the latter said he
would have to borrow the money for
SIX months, paying interest at the rate
of three per cent. Why do you borrower
so short time? MrCooper asked. Because
the brokers will not negotiate bills for
longer" well if you WISH said Mr..
Cooper, Il will discount your note at
that rae for three years" care you
in earnest?" asked the would-be bor-
rover. "Certainly l am. l will
discount your note for $4,000 for
three years at that rate. Will you do
it, ''Of course l WILL" SAID the
merchant. every WE'LL" said Mr..
Cooper, lust sign the note for $40,
900, payable in three years, and give
me your cheek for $500, and the
transaction is complete" But where
is the money for me?' asked the
astonished merchant. you don't get
any money!" was the reply. Your
interest rs months at 3 per centum
per month, amounts to los per centum
or $1O,8O0, therefore, your check for
$500 just makes us even." The force
of this practical illustration of the
folly of paying such an exorbitant
price for the use Of money was such
that the merchant determined never to
borrow at such runious rates, and he
frequently used to say that nothing
could have so fully convinced him as
this rather humorous proposal by Mr..
Cooper.

OLD I.NSTRU NENTS
OF TORTUE

OF TORI TUE.
There opened to the public last week,
an exceedingly interesting exhibition
of genuine instruments of tortue used
some few centuries ago, before more hu-
name methods superseded the rack and
thumb screw and O her horrible imple-
ments with which the church and
crown were WON to argue and remon-
strate with Christians and enemies
The election was taken from the roy
al castle Of Nuremberg and is loaned
for exhibition by the Earl of Shrews-
bury and Talbot. The collection is
gruesome, but fascinating, and it pow
erfully illustrates the great progress
which has been Iii humanity and JUS
tice. 1t is we'll worth inspection.
The most valuable instrument Of
torture in the collection is the ''iron
maiden" It's huge human figure OF
wood, hollow. 1t opens with two doors
The entire interior is fitted with sharp
iron spikes, each several inches long
When the condemned person was plac-
ed inside and the doors closed the VIC
tim was impaled on scores of prongs.
Two spikes entered his eyes and others
penetrated every part Of the body. 1t
is relic of the fifteenth century.
Beside this there are racks, wheels
which crushed every bone in the body,
pinchers for pulling out tongues, great
metal boots into which Christian mar
tyrs were compelled to place their feet
after the boots had been flied with
melted lead: executioners' swords, axes,
masks, scourges, faggelants, man

with the inner band lined with spikes;
old blunderbusses, iron mail gloves
watch were heated red hot before being
worn; iron spiders, with long, sharp
claws, which were used to rend the
flesh; stretching gallows, execution

most cruel and barbarous instruments
ever invented for causing intense ago
