Features to Order.

From CaSsclls Saturday Journal.
If Cleopatra were alive today, the length
Of her nose would have little TO do in de-
JermininS@ her career. Noses. as other traits
in the present advanced state of surgery,
are merely determinate features.
If pug nose does not harmonic with the
other features or pensive disposition, it
Is eIsily changed by removing Il wedge
shaped piece between the nostrils. This is
done without pain by spraying the nose
with cocaine.
If d Roman nose gives enc the air of being
too dominant, the hump is removed by MAX
Eng IN incision, cutting the flesh away, and
a steel bur. run by an electric motor, easily
Srlnds Gown the hump. The skin, then trim

meals Cocaine again renders the opera ton
a mere detail
In tn" same manner large mouths are
Transformed into dainty shapes by remov-
ing the surplus at the corners and sewing
them up.
The surgeon who is the authority for these
statements says that the time will come
when skin grating will be so easily man
aged that another countenance NAV be

MIS- HANG HIMSELF.
A Murderer Under Sentence 10 Die on
New Cushioned GaIIows

Warden Woodbridge of the Connecticut
state prison has placed in the new execu-
ton house at Hartford an improved gall
lows, by which a condemned man becomes
his own executioncr. BY stepping on the
drop he startsNas flow of water. The weight
of the water finally releases the spring
which holds the drop.
Jack Cronin has been sentenced to die
by this machine on August ~.
At the session of the state board of char
tiles DR.. a. w. Tracy. president of the
board. presented his written protest against
the hanging of Cronin by Warden Wood
bridges new continuance. DR.. Tracy ar
/ cues that II is Illegal because the law can
not compel a man to become his own eX-
ecNtioncr or q suicide. The law. he says,
requires that the officer charged with ex-
ecut!ng the sentence shall perform his
duty and not SHIFT any part of Ii TO the
victim. The latter, Or. Tracy says, would
be legally justified in using physical force
on the sc2tfold TO prevent the officers from
forcing HIM to do an illegal act
DIR. Tracy further argues that the compn-
Gated nature of the contrivance will lead to
mishaps, and that the prisoner. instead OF
being hanged according to law, will be
forced to commit suicide. DR.. Tracy sug-
SeSIs that If sensitive official seeks, as by
this new contrivance to dodge the respon-
Sibility of hanging a condemned man, then
the next thing in order will be for sensitive
Judges TO whisper the 0eath sentence into
n photograph, which would afterward be
placed at the prisoners ear and set in mo-
ton by his own act.
Referring 70 electrical executions in New
York, DR.. Tracy makes the point that the
officials do their duty, and do not force con-
dcmned men to become suicides by max
ing the electrical connections themselves.
Copies of the letter will be sent TO Gov.
Morris and Warden Woodbridge. but as
the prison directors have approved the
warden's work, ii is not probable that DR..
Tracy's views Will have any weight.
Cronin was convicted of the murder of
Albert j. Skinner of South Windsor. His
attorneys have abandoned all hope of saw
ing him. He will undoubtedly be hanged
August n at the state prison.

DE LESSEPs PANAMA CANAL.
Some Interesting Facts Related by
Lieut.. HIcaocaI of the Navy

The vast scheme of NJ De Lessons. the
builder Of the Scez canal. to float his PAN
ANA canal scheme mas now been recalled
by the statement Of Lieut.. Menocal of the
Eavy to the House committee on commerce.
which is considering the Nicaragua canal
project.
Lieut.. Menocal related to the committee
the interesting details of the manner in
which the futile Panama canal project was
made TO appear feasible to the French peo-
pie President Hayes appointed Mr. Mem
ocal as the Cnite1 States delegate to the
French convention which considered the
plans OF Joining the Atlantic AMI Pacific
Inc American delegate found that De Les
seps had a concession from Panama while
the French agent had failed TO secure a
concession from Nicaragua. Every energy
ne sald' was therefore bent toward showing
that the Panama route was the better one
a committee of French engineers was APP
pointed, but after considering the two
routes they reported against Panama Not
oauhted by this. the contest was carried
before the Iull convention. where De Les
seps' friends and employes on the Suez ca
nal predominated. Many of the delega ties
left the meeting, and with the members hin
inuch reduced De Lesseps managed to push
through the plan by which the Panama
canal route was preferred to that of Mic
araSua. Lieut.. Menocal stated that when
this action was taken the Panama route
Hdu not even Deen surveyed, and its prac-
ticabllity had not been estimated or estab-
hshed With the Panama project approved
by me French convention, De Lessons
started the gathering of money by lottery
and otherwise, which finally eliminated in
the collapse of the Panama canal scheme
Another point brought out by Lieut. Mem
ocal is that England has now Joined France
in attention toward the Isthmus canal A
short time ago the engineers who built the
great Manchester canal designated several
of their member, to 20 to Nicaragua and
investigate the canal project. They spent
several wcens there, and then looked over
the plans and estimates of the American
engineers. The Englishmen made a report
that the canal could be built inside of the
American estimate Of sixty-iive millions
and that the plan was practicable.

The chairman of the committee will prob
ably select the room in which the meetings
are to be held. In case the chairman has
not large room for himself, the commit
tee en- rules will probably be requested to
set aside some special quarters for the hear
ings. 1t has been suggested since the
adoption of the resolution this morning that
perhaps out of this select committee of
five would grow q senatorial commission to
work during the summer to investigate gen.
eral INDUSTRIAL conditions throughout the
country. But this is mere speculation.
