THE general passenger agents of the
western roads, who for several months
have been trying to find a form of round
trip excursion ticket which would prove
useless for scalping purposes, have
finally decided that the ticket invented
by General Passenger Agent Sebastian,
of the Rock Island, and known as
the Sebastian ticket. is the only
one that will answer the purpose. The
chief feature of this ticket is that the
purchaser does not receive the return
portion of his ticket until after he has
arrived at his destination and is about

A YEAR or two ago a prominent ply
stefan of Pittsburgh, Pa, started a
movement in favor of asphyxiation as
a means of infiicting the death penalty
on capital convicts. The Pennsylvania
Medical society has discussed the sub
ject at some length and the PROPOSE
ton finds favor with the doctors.
They assert that death by asphyxia-
ton is absolutely painless and sure,
but the use of the rope is attended
with the liability of horrible accidents
and the New York device-killing by
electricity-has not made much head
way in commencing itself to general
adoption.
