Jessie bartlett Davis's Understudy.
A New York dispatch says: An apostate
Mormon has been engaged as Jessie Bart
lett Daviss understudy. Mrs. Jennie Haw-
ley Woodrow, Of Salt Lake City, is the
young woman who has been chosen. She
is handsome girl of the voluptuous type,
with cherry lips, peachy cheeks, velvet eyes
and an abundance of rich chestnut hair.
Mrs. Woodrow, or Miss HawIey, as she
will be presented by the billboards, is tall,
a head or so above the singer whom she
will relieve. But better tnan all these, Miss
Hawley has a voice that the most captious
critics have judged with favor. 1t is a
powerful contralto, and she uses it with
natural dramatic force.
q. When Ysaye made tour of this country
he discovered the young Mormon can
in the old Brigham Young Theater in the
Mormon Zion. The great violinist insisted
that he be entertained, as he was weary of
the part of entertainer, and Miss HaWIey
sang for him. He grasped her hands when
she had finished and said: My lovely
lady, you must go into opera. Your voice
Is big. 1t is soulful. You can make people
smile and sigh with it, as 1 do with my
violin"
Miss Hawley paid no further heed to
the virtuoso's advice. Instead she married
a wealthy, twice-widowed mining oper-
ator Colonel Howard Cromwell woodrow
Contrary to the expectation of novelists

Woodrow will study under a New York

THE GARROTE.
SPANS HOrrifying Method of Execut-
ing Condemned Murderers.

The garrote by which the Anarchist who
killed the Spanish premier will be eXecut-
ed is named after its inventor q Spanish
iron worker, who witnessed a bungling ex-
ecutiOn of a relative on the gallows, which
was the method employed by Spain uD to
about thirty years ago for carrying out the
sentence of death.
Garrote wondered that a more expeditions
and therefore mercifu method had not
been discovered. He little thought then
that he would be the one to furnish his
country with a substitute for the galloWs
but the thought haunted him long that
he at length found it assuming ordered
form in his mind and in time the ponder
Gus death-dealing machine that has mmor-
talized him in his country came to be a
fact.
The two points of excellence claimed for
the gorrote are these: That it can be
made with reasonable care to kill instantly
and that ii sheds not one drop of blood
Force that is measured by horse power is
the agency Ii employs and its aim Is the
breaking Of the victims neck.
The unfortunate is first made 10 sit in
chair directly under two heavy iron bars
one Of which is adjusted on the back of
his neck, and the other, vulgarly known as
the cOrbatin. or necktie. under his chin
Then the executioner grasps the handle

taneous The entire machine is made Of
iron and ordinarily weighs several hundred
pounds.
Persons who have witnessed all sorts or
capital punishment are unanimous in the
opinion that garroting is the most revolt
ing and appalling of all. IT Is not always

whelming success. Charles Downing is the
