MARTIN THORN DIES
EIeCtrocuted For William
GuIdensuppe's Murder
HIS NERVE NEVER FAILS
His Last Night is Spent in
Sound Sleep,

New York, Aug. MARTIN Thorn was
put 10 death in the prison at Sing Sing
at lilo this morning for the murder Of
William Goldensuppe.
Thorn sat up later last night than was
his custom He talked OF his parents,
his boyhood days in Germany and his
first experiences In this country. He show
ed no nervousness, and when he threw
himself on his cot II was but few min
utes until ne was sound asleep.
Warden Sage who went 60 Thorns cell
early today, said:
Thorn told me ne was not nervous and
would die bravely. He was perfectly rec
onciled to his fate, and said that he had
made peace with his God. He slept we'll
and had no fear of death. There is not
rhe eughtes tchange in his actions. He
Is the same cool man who came TO the
prison six months ago. His nerve is
stronger than that of any other murder
er who has been in the deathhouse."
Thorn told one of his keepers that his
only dread was the wait from the time
he awoke until he was summoned to the
chair.
The condemned man received the last
So ornaments of the Roman Catholic church.
When summoned to the execution chair,
Thorn showed no emotions. walked to it
quickly, repeating prayers, after the at
lending priest.
There was no untoward incident in con-
nection with the execution and after the
current had been turned on 80 seconds
Thorn was dead.
The crime for which Martin Thorn paid
the death penalty was the murder OF Will

ant, on July %, 1897. Mrs. augusta Mack,
who was charged with being an accom-
plice. turned states evidence at the trial
and told how she had decoyed Golden
suppe TO a cottage at Woodside, l.. l.,
where Thorn was waiting to take his life.
Guldensuppe was shot and his head dis
membered from the body, to prevent iden-
tification. The body was then placed in
a table cloth and thrown into the East

allowed TO plead guilty to manslaughter

ment, The motive of the crime was Jeal-

'All this. talk about the millions which
wheat is sheer nonsense" said gentleman
yesterday in position to speak with accu-
rate knowledge. THAT he made a fair
profit is, of course, admitted, but let me tell
you the sum in the aggregate is much less
than $1O0O,0OO Another point on which the
general public has been misled: Letter did
not best Armour in the wheat fight. On
the contrary, Armour made a great deal
mere out of his deals with the so-called
young wheat king than did Letter. He sold
very much lower figure. In fact, Armour
made profit on every transaction with the
Letters except one lot of 100000 bushels. In
addition, he received over $1,000 day on
houses and elevators, and this more than
made up any loss he may have incurred on
the 100000 bushels transaction referred to-.
Armour is a wonderful man." continued the
speaker, 1.-THE most wonderful, in a business
sense, the world has ever known. Just think
of man handling, in single year, $210,-
100000 of business. Armour did that last
year. his aggregate receipts having been, in
round numbers, $210, 200. Let us, for a
moment, consider these figures. The great
Pennsylvania. Railroad system, with it's
thousands of miles of track, earned last
year something like $135, 00O, 600. The receipts
of the Standard Oil Company were still
larger, probably $3.50 900, 600. Yet here is a
single individual whose business exceeded
either of these, having been $75, 600 900 great
sylvania Railroads lines and $4,000 900 in
excess of the earnings of the Standard Oil
Company. Armour is money maker. Like
Russell Sage, who once said Of himself that
same as some other people found in buying
yachts, works of art. etc, Armour lives to
make money. 1t is his pleasure-his only
pleasure, in fact. And he Is making it,"

ADJUSTMENTS.
English's-Nat C. Goodwin.

Since Nat c. Goodwin's fortunate coali-
ton with the fascinating Maxine Elliott
he has become young again. The delightful
pathos and humor so beautifully blended in
his nature are fragrant as the flowers in
spring, and the strictly artistic work of
this finely gifted American actor takes on
a polish after threatening to run down at
the heel from sheer carelessness. Mr..
Goodwin's two performances at English
yesterday before audiences that filled the
house, both matinee and night, contained
more charm than any that Goodwin can be
remembered ever having given in this city.
The improvement was noticeable not only
in Mr.. Goodwin, but in the really finished
and deft touches of the magnetic Maxine
Elliott. Miss Elliott has left an impression
here far stronger than any actress whose
forte lies in an ability TO wear fine costumes.
The costumes are naturally an added charm
to the performance, but they are secondary
with Miss Elliott, who has obtained Won
derful control of her contralto voice. She
reads her lines with a natural expression
that thrills and insures her lasting place
on the stage. Mrs. Ryleys comedy IAN
American Citizen" was enjoyed at the matt
nee even more than when first seen here
last year. At night Goodwin played "A
Gilded FooI' to one of the finest audiences
he has ever had here, and the popular play
evoked such undisguised appreciation and
enthusiasm that Mr.. Goodwin was COM
PEELED to respond with a speech, after the
third act, that was in itself a neat enter
tainment.
Only one more attraction will come to
English's before the season closes. Miss
Irwin will appear in 1.-The Swell Miss F1tz-
Kate Kipp. Buyer" on Tuesday night, will
wind up the season at English'S.

Navy officers have changed decidedly the
loose way in which the term lombard

engagements as that between SIMPSONS

contend that it is not necessary to give
twenty-four hours notice, or any notice, of
an intention to attack Notifications, and
that SIMPSONS fire. being directed primarily
and solely on the forts on the harbor, did
not in any sense constitute bombardment

suffered in personal property in the attack

vicissitudes Of war and the American fleet
could not be held responsible.

PORTO RICO COMMANDMENT.
What Officers of a French Ship Say
Our Vessels at st. Thomas.

Copyright, 1885, by the Associated Press.)
ST. THOMAS. Danish West Indies, May
1.-THE United States auxiliary cruiser St.
Louis sailed from here this morning, going
in westerly direction. The United States
cruiser Montgomery arrived here at clock
in order to take on coal.
The third-class French cruiser Admiral
Rigault de Genouilly, which was at San
Juan de Puerto Rico during the lombard
ment of the forts at that place by the fleet
of Rear Admiral Sampson on Thursday
morning, left there at about noon yesterday
and arrived here this morning. She reports
that the inhabitants of San Juan de Puerto
Rico fled to the country Immediately after
the firing began, women and children, the
Frenchmen say, being trampled on in the
mad scramble for safety. AS the crew OF the
French cruiser remained on board their
ship they cannot say anything in regard to
the exact condition Of affairs ashore. But
they claim one shell exploded in a school,
house, killing a number of children, while
another shell demolished the house of the
commandant of marine at San Juan. The
parts of the city within range of the forts
suffered the most
The officers of the French ship say they
do not know how many persons were killed
during the bombardment, but they express
the opinion that the number was small. On
the other hand, they say the number of per-
sons injured is very large. The officers of
the French cruiser also criticise the wis
dom of the bombardment
The Admiral Rigault de Genoully was in
jured by pieces of shell exploding during
the bombardment, and her rigging cut.
When the French cruiser left San Juan de
Puerto Rico its inhabitants were beginning
to return to the city. The most strict CEN
sorship over telegraphic messages is strictly
observed at the capital of Porto Rico.
The United States cruiser Montgomery is
expected to leave here tonight to join the
fleet. Her destination is said to be Key
West. The United States auxiliary cruiser
Yale, formerly the American line steamer
Paris, has also called here, and it is under
stood she will clear with the Montgomery

BREAD OF THE NATIONS.
How the staff of Life Is Made Among
Various Peoples.
Sanitary Record.


1t is a curious and interesting study to
&C mpare the various materials which serve
the different nations of the world as the
basis of their bread. In this country, where
good bread, made from spring and tall
wheat flour, is within reach OF all, rarely a
thought is given to the fact that after all,
the inhabitants of only small portion of
the earthS surface enjoy such food. In
the remoter part of Sweden the poor make
and bake their rye bread twice year and
store the loaves away, so that eventually
they are as hard as bricks Further north
still bread is made from barley and oats.
In Lapland oats, with the inner bark OF the
pine, are used. The two together, we'll
ground and mixed are made into large.
Hat cakes, cooked in pan over a fire. In
dreary Kamtschatka pine or birch bark by
itself, we'll macerated, pounded ana baked,
frequently constitutes the whole of the ma
tive bread food. The Icelander scrapes the
iceland moss off the rocks and grnds it
into -four which serves both for bread and
buildings. In some parts of Siberia, China
and other eastern countries fairly paIat-
able bread is made from buckwheat. In
parts of Italy chestnuts are cooked, ground
into meal and used for making bread. Dur
ra, variety of the millet is much used in
the countries of India, Egypt, Arabia and
Asia Minor for making bread. Rice bread
is the staple food of the Chinese. Japanese
and a large portion of the inhabitants of
India.
In Persia the bread Is made from rice,
flour and milk; 1t is called 'lawash." The
Persian oven is built in the. ground, about
the size of a barrel. The sides are smooth
mason work. The fire is built at the bot
tom and kept burning until the walls or
sides of the oven are thoroughly heated.
Enough dough to form sheet about one
foot wide and about two feet long is thrown
on the bench and rolled until about as thin
as sole leather. then it is taken up and
tossed and rolled from one arm to the other
and flung on the board and slapped on the
side of the oven. 1t takes only few mo-
ments to bake. and when baked it is spread
out to COOL This bread is cheap Zone cent
a sheet; it is sweet and nourishing. A
specimen of the hunger bread from Ar
menia is made of cloverseed, fax or lin
seed meal, mixed with edible grass. In the
Molucca islands the starchy pith of the
sage palm furnishes white, floury meal.
This is made up into fiat. oblong loaves,
which are baked in curious little ovens,
each being divided into oblong cells to re-
ceive the loaves. Bread is also made of
roots in some parts of Africa and South
America. 1t is made from manioc tubers.
These roots are deadly poison if eaten in
the raw state, but make a good food if
properly prepared. To prepare it for bread
the roots are soaked for seveal days in
water, thus washing out the poison; the
fibres are picked out. dried and ground into
flour. This is mixed with milk, If obtain
able; if not, water is used. The dough is
formed into little round loaves and baked in
hot ashes or dried in the sun.
