SHY IGING
that he Adiourned Oourt.
FROM the ohIcago Iuter ooean.


When David X. Garter, late chic
Justice OF the supreme court OF tn,
District If Columbia, was pracucine
law in Ohio he tried a case at Coshoc
ton before Judge Finch. The judge
was q very large and digni6ed man
and had not the least appreciation OF
humor. Carter was humorous and
very witty. He suffered badly and at
times this impeachment added greatly
TO the bumor OF his remarks. An old
country town merchant was being
prosecuted for Islander by a young man
suspected of robbing him.
A witness was on the stand for the
purpose of proving some suspicious
action of the plaintiff. He came from
Columbia county. After he had stated
his age, residence, etc., Carter inquired
as to his vocation. He answered that
he bad been sheriff Of bis county, audi
tor Ut the county, and had served
several terms In the state Legislature

interrupted and wanted to know the
object of this testimony. at Is TO

witness in his own county, said Car.
ter. s'Oh, that's no evidence OF his
reliability" retorted the judge 81
have known some mighty mean men to
hold office" Carter was on bis feet
in an instant. and pointing his finger
at the judge, said: "I-I-I am a.a-s-
aware Of that, your h-h. h%-honor."
The lawyers, the jury and the audi
ence laughed. They laughed loud and
long. The while the judge was get
ting angrier. He ordered the sheriff
to euppress the disturbance, and as it
sub-ided he was ON the eve of saying
something very severe to Garter, but
before he could get started on his
Carter took all the sting out
his first remark by repeating: II
was saying that l was aware Of that, |
your honor, | held office once myself"
Another round OF laughter so angered
the judge that he adjourned court until
The afternoon.

Gas Versus Hemp,

Some time ago, as we learn from the
Medical Record, the Allegheny county
Medical society appointed a committee
to make an extensive investigation of
the present methods of executing con-
demned criminals, and to recommend
a substitute for hanging or killing by
electricity. The committee has now
concluded its Investigations, and will
recommend that gas be substituted for
the rope and electric chair. 1t is
claimed that condemned prisoners
could be put to death by this agent
painlessly during sleep. 1t is proposed
that the society draft bill for presen-
tatiOn to the Pennsylvania legislature
this winter providing for the change.
No doubt this recommendation will
command approval. 1t is a step up
ward from the barbarous level Of pre-
cedent in capital punishment. If the
state Is to go into the homicide busi-
ness at ALL it ought in decency's sake
to go in with as much regard for the
humanities as the circumstances Will
permit. When to the moral crime of
tdklllS PRISONERS IKE Is auueu lllc
aesthetical sin of taking it in crude,
rough and painful manner, the result,
one would think, ought to receive gen.
eral condemnation. For this reason we
concur in the Allegheny county Medi-
cal society's recommendation that
death by gas be substituted in capital
punishment for death by hempen
strangulation or death by the roasting
process of electrocution.
But before too much energy is en-
ployed to solve the problem of how
the state may most humanely commit
murder, suppose we direct more atten-
tlon than has hitherto been directed to
the problem of reclaiming the criminal
without forfeiture of his life.

AN ACCOMPLISHED WRITER.

d. r. Williams QndeX), formerly of
Braddocks, this state, Is in the city. He
is here for the purpose of attending to
the sale of his newly-published book, en-
titled THE Brotherhood The book is
splendid specimen, geographically of
the excellent work that is being turned
out of "Y Drych" Office. Utica, n. Y. 1t
would not be necessary for us to read
the volume to be convinced of the value
of it's contents. We know what the ac-
complishments of the author are. He
leads in the front rank of the literateurs Of
his country. He has a master mind and
his style is fascinating. The present
production ranks with the best of his for
mer efforts, and in some respects is better.
The humorous vein throughout the work
is of finer, gentler and more charming
kind than is usually found in the writings
of Welshmen of the present day Our
neighbor, Rev. Il. S. Jones, Of the North
End, reviewed the volume at great length
in recent number of "Y Drych," and he
was unstinted in his praise. Judge Ed
wards speaks highly of it, and the same
praises are bestowed upon it by the lead
ing Weshmen of the West Side. Mr..
Williams has probably won more eistedd-
fodical trophies than any one man in this
| country today He won one of the chief
| literary prizes at the Worlds fair eistedd-
| fod, which, If we remember correctly, was
a drama, and the adjudicators We're the
great Tudno, of Wales, and Judge Ed
wards of this city. 1t was victory over
some of the greatest minds of his coun-
| try. Mr.. Williams is not only an accom-
pllshed Welsh writer, but has mastered
| we'll two or three other languages. Those
who have read "Rhys Lewis" the repre-
| sentative Welsh novel, cannot very we'll
| miss reading "Y Frawdoliaeth" by Index.
1t is something after the same fashion and
equally as charming. 1t is a tale well
| told. J. c. NJ.

vlgilant and frequent inspection of
mines no sensible mine-owner can or
will wish to interpose objection. The
right of the public to security from loss
by avoidable accident is "a sufficient
warrant for reasonable state super
vision of mining, although in this con-
nection it should not be supposed that
the owners of mines are themselves in
different concerning the causes of pos
sibe accident. But in relation to the
Coyle measure the sole point to be con-
sidered is, Will it's enactment make a
particle of difference in the situation
beyond the creation OF new expense
and the enlargement of the governor
ships political opportunities? Unless
its advocates can point to clear and
certain public benefits within reach by
such a measure, it had better be de-
feated. 1t would seem that we have
an abundance of -ofiicious and su-
pernuous state departments as the
situation stands.

A FirStsSate Investment

There probably is no other city in the
United States with so large an area of
valuable residences unprotected against
fire as the city of Scranton has in the
portion known as Sanderson Hill. The
men who occupy these residences are
as a class probably the wealthest tax
payers in the community and on busi-
ness principles it would seem that they
ought to have from councils at least as
much consideration in return for their
taxes as is bestowed upon any other
portion of the city of corresponding
size. The large majority of the houses
ON the hill are built of wood and very
vulnerable to fire and wind. Should a
fire ever gain headWaY in that local
ity under certain obvious conditions, it
would be almost impossible to restrict
its mischief.
The blaze on Vine street yesterday
emphasizes the need of special fire pro-
lection for the hill. BY the time the
chemical engine reaches a point above
Madison avenue the horses which haul
1t are utterly exhausted and cannot
proceed more rapidly than at a walk,
In a rainy day on any asphalted grade
like that on Clay avenue between Vine
and Mulberry it is next to impossible
Tor team of horses to pull the chem
ical engine at all Within two years
three horses have been killed by the
strain incident to the hauling of fire
apparatus from the South Side and CEN
tral city up the steep grades on the hill,
ana doubtless many others have been
injured. 1t has been due to GOOD for.
tune rather than to wise precaution on
the city's part that the fire loss in this
valuable residence area during the past
few years has not been much larger
than it was.
proposition is understood to be be-
fore councils informally for the es-
adjustment of an engine house, chem
lcal engine and regular force at a To-
cation near the summit OF the hill. so
that the members of the proposed
company may readily respond to calls
within a radius of one mile. An ap-
preparation for such purpose would
be hrst-class investment.
