THE CRIME OF MURDER.
The Courts of the Country Burdened
With Capital Gases.

The Courts Of the Country Burdened-
With Capital Cases.
There is not single state or terri
tory in the Union in which there is not
trial for murder pending. In the
State of Kentucky there are forty
seven cases, concerning ninety-one
prisoners, for murder awaiting trial.
in Virginia there are eight. North
Carolina has twenty-three charges of
murder. In the first state only seven
Of the men in jail to be tried for the
capital offense Of MURDER are negroes;
in Virginia there are eight North
Carolina has twenty cases or more,
Georgia twenty-seven, Louisiana
score. Texas thirty-two or thirty
three, Missouri twenty-four, Illinois
sixteen, Indiana seven, Michigan three,
Ohio eight, Pennsylvania twenty-six,
New York fOrty-two, Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Vermont one. New
Hampshire has just settled one of her
three by sentence of thirty years i'm
posed upon a craZed assassin. CalifOr-
MIA has twenty-Seyen cases on her
docket, and altogether there are about
two hundred and eighty charges of
murder on the criminal dockets of the
various states and territories.
Some of these have only passed as
yet from the hands of the coroner or
committing magistrate, others are on
trial, some are on appeal, and a few
have gone through all the judicial pro-
cedure and the convicted men are only
awaiting the executive action of the
law to complete their record.
In The Sunday Times" there was
published dozen or so of the most
striking cases. They were selected
from the broad field and it was intend
ed TO show the generality and variety
of the crimes. For that purpose the
exchanges that come into this office
for a week--about 250 each day-were
used as a source of confirmation, and
from them the figures given above
were also taken. 1t can be readily
understood that there may be cases
of murder in city, say like st. Paul,
where man fully committed for and
awaiting the action of the grand jury
may not be mentioned for several
weeks. There is one case in this city,
and the man charged with the crime
is Moyamensing, of which no men,
ton has been made in the local press
for at least ten days. These figures
gwen above are, therefore. utterly in
adequate-the more so as they do not
embrace any crime in which some one
is not charged with the offence and is
at least under arrest for it.-Philadei-

LUCK IN DISGUISE.
An Ill-Guarded Speech Led on to the
Operators Fortune.

An Ill-Guarded Speech Led on to the
Operators Fortune.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t isn't easy to tell when fate means
well by a man. Some of her appar-
emily hardest knocks are all for the
victims good A crushing piece of mis-
fortune may be the means of spur
ing the crushed one TO more ambitious
efforts. it did so in one Clevelander's
case.
He was a telegraph operator, and a
good one, but he was not in favor
with the chief. In fact the chief did
not possess many friends among the
boys. He was disposed to be sharp
and quick with them and telegraph OPP
orators are a sensitive lot.
There was vacant room that had
not been occupied for n long time and
the chief one day took possession of
it as a sort of private Office. The OPP
orator whose story we are telling did
not know about his change and that
very day when he happened to be in
the wash room with one of the boys
he opened up on the chief in a partic-
ularly savage fashion. The washroom
was separated by the thinnest kind of
partition and every word could be
distinctly heard on the other side. The
operator dipped his face over the wash
basin and as he sputered and splash
ed he blessed the chief in d shockingly
left-handed way. The man with him
tried to stop the TRADE. but he couldn't
catch his eye, nor could he get near
enough to him in time to shake him.
Finally tie other man exhausted him
self and turned around with towel in
his hands. Then he saw the look of
horror on his companions face. He
knew that he was doomed.
AS he stepped from the wash room
with a jaunty air he met the chief.
81 suppose, said the latter, "you are
ready to express your personal opin-
ions in public as well as behind your
victims back?"
The operator never wavered hairs
breadth.
~ am" he said smiling. 'and I can
add little more to what I have al
ready said"
And with that he expressed his opin-
ion of the chief in still more vigorous
language. took his hat and stalked out.
1t was the first time he had been an
idler since he was a boy. He felt a
little dazed. Then he resolved on q
bold stroke. He would go straight to
New York
That night he was on his way. With
in week he had secured an excellent
situation. Today he commands a sal
airy of at least $4,000.
"And owe it ALL" he said not long
ago to a Cleveland friend. ''to the fact
that l fred myself out of the old op-
orators room"

THE AsEpTIc BARBERsHop.
a Correspondent of the Light Gives
Some Very Plain Facts.

~ Correspondence Oh tne llSnJ GlVeS
Some Very Plain Facts.
To the Light:
An aseptic barbershop, probably the
first in America, has been established
at the Carrolton hotel Baltimore, Nd.
according to the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal. Everything about
the shop is sterilized. The shaving
cups, combs, brushes and razor han
dies are made of aluminium, which is
the metal that best stands sterilization.
The hands and arms as well as the
head and face of the customer are also
made aseptic.
1t must appear to most of us that this
is one French custom which could with
profit to the barber and benefit to the
public be introduced among our own
San Antonio tonsorial artists. especial
| ly when it is known that not only the
well Known complaint of BARRIERS
Itch" but other more serious skin and
blood diseases are conveyed from one
customer to another through the medi.
um of the BARRIERS scissors, brush or
razor
A well known physician of thes city
recently related to the writer an in
stance of his own experience in this di-
rection. A patient suffering from q
most loathsOme infectious disease man
ifested by his ugly skin eruption was
prescribed for by him, when next morn.
ing on going to the barbershop for a
shave he found his patient just rising
from chair in which he himself was
about to be seated for n shave. He
now shaves himself and takes the
chances of sustaining innumerable cuts
and slashes rather than contract an
| undesirable skin disease. 1t would be
little or no trouble for our BARRIERS tC
| follow the Partisan measures for tn,
protection of their customers, and NJ
doubt they would be amply compensat
ed by the increase of custom tina
would follow.
The following simple directions ar,
those which in general way are fol
lowed out by surgeons in their prepare
lions for operations, ana would in al
respects fulfill the requirements of al
"aseptic barbershop:
The hands and forearm and particu
| larry the finger nails of the barber
should be well scrubbed with green
soap and brush for five minutes and
| then immersed for one minute in so
luton of corrosive sublimate of one to
one thousand; rings, especially those
having stone settings should not be
| worn: razors. brushes, combs, sponges
etc. should be scrupulously cleansed
with soap and brush and then miners
| ed for ten minutes in a three per cent
solution of carbolic acid before aplica
ton to the face or scalp of each Gus
toner. and should any of these articles
accidentally fall TO the floor or touch
against the furniture, or ciothing II
should at once again be dipped into
the carbolic acid. The face and scalI
of the customer should be well scrub
bed with soap and warm water and
dried with clean towel before com
mencing operations. ASEPIlC.
