all capital criminals This the assembly
adopted. Then he urged that the execu-
ton should be made as speedy and pain
less as possible. With ak or sword
bungling Dlunders often occurred. But
he had seen on the stage of a
theater in a burlesque a machine
for Chopping of heads or for pre-
tending to 40 so. Why not adopt it?
with it, he said, "heads could be
chopped of with the utmost dispatch and
without pain"
The assembly at once voted to adopt this
suggestion, and so the machine came into
use. Forthwith some one wrote a comic
song about it, and dubbed it the guillotine,
and the name stuck to it. An attempt
was made to call it "Louisette," after
DIR. Louis, who actually invented the first
model used in the theater, but it failed,
and the guillotine it has been called ever
since.
THE ORIGINAL GUILLoTINE.
There also has been a legend that DR..
Guillotin himself was the first TO die
under the machine; which is entirely IN
true. The first man guillotined was a
common thief, who was put to death on
April l5 1892, the machine working most
perfectly and amply vindicating DR.. Gull
lotln's predictions concerning it. As for
DIR. Guillotin he became much disguised
y
friends, and unsparingly condemned the
wholesale butcheries of the reign of ter
ror. On this account he was arrested and
thrown into prison, condemned to death
and would doubtless have been guillotined
had not the terror been overthrown just
in time On his release he retired from
political life, and devoted himself to
works of charity. Several years later he
died of fever, peacefully, in his own bed.
THE BUST AT VERSAILLES.
Why, then, was the bust of DR.. Guillo-
tin erected at Versailles7 To commemorate
his participation in a famous and import
ant historical incident. When Louis
XVI feared that the clergy would ally
themselves with the commons or Tiers
Etat, in his newly formed parliament, ne
ordered the Sale des Etats-Generaux Of
Versailles to be closed. This aroused the
wrath of the deputies. They protested,
ragged, marched about the streets of YER
sailles crying out against the outrage.
Some proposed violent resistance. Others
suggested that they meet in orderly fash
ion and protest in legal form. But where
should they meetl At this iuncture DIR.
Guillotin came forward.
"Citizens," he said, "let US assemble
ourselves in the Sale du Jeu de Paume."
What followed is matter of history
The scene has been immortalized by the
painter David. But the dominant spirit,
the guiding hand, the commanding voice
of the occasion were those of DIR. Guillo-
tin. So it is eminently appropriate that
a memorial bust of him adorns to-day the
place where his great achievement was
effected.

DRUNKEN ENGLISH WOMEN.
Alarming Additions to Inebriety
Among British Maids and Matrons.
From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
London, Dec. 23.-"Drunk as a duchess"
is popular phrase in the mouth of the
English people just now, and it is a
phrase powerfully suggestive of strik-
ing and shocking condition of affairs in
English society, coming, as all such popu-
lar by-words do, from apt appreciation Of
prominent features of the life and affairs
of to-day. Drinking among women in the
higher and highest social ranks of Eng
fish society is developing into a national
scandal, says Lady Henry Somerset. And
a public meeting was held here recently,
presided over by this lady, at which some
remarkable statements were made of the
prevalence of drunkenness among women
in high life.
But drinking is not an attribute merely
of women in high life What is NOR
serious and which touches the life of the
whole nation, is the prevalence and in
crease of drunkenness among women of
all classes throughout the kingdom. "A
national shame" is how the London Daily
News characterizes the startling revela-
tions that have been made recently
through public meetings, official reports,
and general investigation and open dis
cuSsion concerning the great evil. 1t was
made a subject of special inquiry by a
committee of parliament this year, and
startling testimony as to the prevalence
of the vice among women was given by
magistrates, coroners, officers of public
institutions, ana medical men of high
standing, the latter headed by no less a
man than the late Sir Andrew Clark,
Gladstone's old physician.
OF an average of 81, 900 women commit
ted TO prison annually in the United
Kingdom in the past few years so per
cent. were sent theer for drunkenness, or
for offeuses arising from or allied to
drunkenness. The testimony of the po-
lice courts is that the vice is prevalent
among all classes in the East End of Lon
don. Not alone women of disreputa-
bic class come before the magistrates
charged with drunkenness, but wives of
respectable workingmen and young
women earning their living, and other
wise conducting themselves in a respecta-
bic way. AL ages, as well as all classes,
are victims OF the vice. There are many
records Of women drunkards Of 50 and So
years OF age, and many of those but 10 to
Is years old Five unmarried girls II
years old were charged with drunkenness
in one court Tn single day, and girls of
tender years are found in the streets in
the early morning, helpless from a nights
debauch In 1891 there were in London
some 5000 convictions of women for
drunkenness. Last year the mum Der of
such convictions was increased BY over
500, and there were in addition 1913 ar
rests Of women on the charge Of having
been drunk and disorderly.

East End, Whynne Baxter, whose many

CHIPS FROM GAMBLER.

The Winter. the Warmest in Many
Years-An Excursion Around the
Lake.
Gambler, Fla, Jan. 12.-The present
winter, so far, has been the warmest in
many years. The weather. for the past
three weeks has been like spring. The
lemon groves are putting or bloom, and
bananas, guavas, and all tender plants
are growing like summer.
A party of thirty-four, from this place,
principally winter visitors, made an ex-
cursion around Lake Weir on Capt. Rus
sells elegant little steamer Maggie.
They were all greatly delighted with the
lovely scenery around this the most beau
tiful lake in Florida.
About two-thirds of the orange crop
from this section has been marketed.
Prices this season have not been as good
as last year. The fruit is of ex-
cellent quality, and should sell well, but
the great depression in business and
scarcity of money is said to be the cause
why the fruit sells no better in the north
ern markets

Chicago, Jan. 13.-The final game of the

hall The game was between Schaefer
and Ives. The latter had won
three games Of the week, without
losing any, while Schaefer's score stood
two to one. Victory for Ives, therefore,
meant 81 800 and one-half of the net re.
ceipts, while in the event of Schaefer's
success the two stars would be compelled
to play again for first and second money.
The latter event is what will happen, as
the game went to Schaefer by q score of

1t is, by the way, curious bit of his

however, that estimable patriot had no
such dubious distinction. A year or so

protested that it should be set up in the
prison of La Roquette instead There
