Pittsburg, Pa, June s6.-It was an
even split today. Boston won the first
game because Pittsburg made costly
errors and was slow on plays that do
not show in the score. Pittsburg won
the second because the visitors could not
hit Lever and because Killen's old COM
rades found him easy. Attendance. 1900.

New York Central had come to an agree
ment with the Boston and Albany rail-
road by which the Central would lease
the Boston and Albany for term of 900
years and guarantee eight per cent on the
stock, was not a surprise either in rail-
road circles or in Wall street. That the
lease Is practically CLOSED was confirmed
from a trustworthy source yesterday.

The ancient and unique customs con-

which the constable (who is also cor

Catherine of Russia abolished capital
punishment as far back as 1867, except
in the case of those traitorious to the
state, but the knout, it is shown, has
proved the death weapon of thousands.
It is a fact, says the Frenchmen who
favor the death helmet, that Russian
criminals are knouted to death in
frightful numbers every year.
Spain's way of Kidding the earth of
murderers by fastening them in a
chair and choking them to death is
pointed out as barbarous enough to
make the proposed French method
seem, by comparison, "a feather-bed
death. while the brutal hanging, ia
vored in England and in parts of the
United States, makes the French au-
thorities shudder. Brunswick execu-
tions, where the old-fashioned heads
man still Yields his ak over the head
of the criminal, who kneels at the block
to receive the butchers stroke, have
received equally sweeping condemna-
ton, although the Brunswickers are up
in arms about it, claiming that their
method is as humane as the guillotine,
and is ssfar more to the taste of the
criminal than the proposed piercing of
the brain with electric needless" a
piece of unconscious humor that seems
to have passed without due apprecia-
ton here.

No women nj Fun ern1..

One of the curious social laws of Peru
forbids women to attend funerals, and
they do not appear at weddings unless
they are very intimate friends. When
a funeral procession passes through the
streets the coffin is carried upon the
shoulders of the pallbearers, who are
followed by an empty hearse drawn by
two, four or six horses, according to the
means Of the mourners and their desire
for display. All the male members of
the family and friends of the deceased
follow on foot, with line Of empty car
sriages behind them. AS long as they
are in the presence of thee dead it is con-
.sidered proper and necessary evidence
of respect to walk. After the body has
been committed to the grave those who
attend the funeral are brought home in
the carriages.

CALL IL MERCIFJJL.
Electric Needle to supplant the
Guillotine in France.
CriminoIoEists Suggest a New and
Absolutely Sure Method Of Exec
cution-Death Caused by De-
struction of Drain Cells.

The voice of the humanitarian is be-
Ing raised just now in indignant app
peal against the new mode Of execution
that Frenchmen propose to adopt in
place of the swift-killing and merciful
yuiHotine. The new method consists in
getting rid of murderers by piercing
their brains with a needle, a sufficiently
awful death it would seem at first sight
to justify some protest. The criminal
is placed in a chair, his hands firmly
bound to the framework, and over his
head, fitting down on the shoulders,
is placed huge helmet resembling in
shape and general appearance the he'll
met that the deep-sea diver wears.
Where the temples Of the wearer come
ARE two holes, through which penetrate
the points of needles, these needles be-
ing connected with an. electric battery.
When the condemned mans limit of life
has been reached the executioner
touches button, Instantly the two
needles leap from their sockets and pen
citrate through the. temples into the
brain Of the criminal. At the same
time an electric power is impaired to
the two needles SO that they are really
conveyors of powerful alternating cur
rent flashes that, it is claimed, rend
asunder and destroy so large portion
of the brain cells that death is instan-
taneous.
The objections raised by the human
itarians have caused to be cited in the
discussion the methods of execution in
vogue in various countries. These are
being compared with the death helmet,
of course with the object of showing
that the latter is in advance of them
as a quick means of destroying life.
The worst of all the means of punish
ing wrongdoers by death is that point
ed to as in fashion in Russia. Certainly,

Farragut was aboard the flagship Hart
ford and in his memorandum for COM
manding officers, which accompanied
the general order for passing the bat
teries, he stated particularly that spe-
cial attention must be given the steam
ers lying at Port Hudson. In other
words, he ordered that these vessels
be shelled, with the hope of setting the
cotton on fire and destroying the boats.
For some time the naval forces Of
the union side had been endeavoring to

change in the political complexion of
the senate, he resigned.
Gen. Henderson has splendid rec
ord as one of the businesslike fight
ers of the civil war. He enlisted as a
private the very day that news of the
firing on Fort Sumter was received,
and he was never out of active, serv-
ice from that time until late in 1864,
when, seriously wounded, he was COM
PEELED to return to his home. He retired

While Philadelphia was Gen. Mander-

spent entirely as citizen of Ohio or Of
Nebraska. When 90 years old he was
elected city solicitor of Canton, O., re-
tanning the Office for two terms. After
the war he was twice elected district at
torney of Stark county, and in 1867
came within one vote of receiving the
nomination for congress. He removed
to Omaha in 1869. In the senate his
services were especially valuable in
shaping legislation concerning the gov
eminent of the territories, the organ
ization of the army, and the treatment
of old soldiers. He declined to permit
his name to be used for re election to a
third term in 1893. Since his retire

DEW EY a PRISON ER.
Interesting Reminiscencs of a Con-
federate War Veteran.


Admiral George Dewey knows what
it is to have met the enemy and be-
come his, for on the night of March II,
1863, when as Lieut.. Dewey he was
executive officer Of the United States
steamer, Mississippi, he fed from the
burning hulk of that vessel and was
captured by confederate artillerymen.
This happened on the banks of the
Father of Waters at Port Hud son,
Miss, and is said to have been the only
instance when Dewey ever was a pris-
oner. ssti
But Lieut.. Dewey was not long a.
prisoner on that occasion. He had then
the same nerve, dash and GOODNESS now
recognized the world over as character
istics Of the man, and made a brilliant
and successful break for liberty, re-
joining his captain, Melancthon Smith,
and other officers Of the aband Toned
steamer. These had sought safety on
the Richmond, a short distance up the.
river. .f q
Dewey's capture is well re membered

now living at Mineola, Tex. Mr.. Nc.

his teens, was serving in the confed-
crate army as a member of company r,

associations in existence, of which 10;
$50 are loan associations. Only Por-
ton of them adhere strictly to Schulze's
principle of self-help, but all are mod

which he organized personally. In re-
cent years the number of agricultural
loan associations has increased much
more rapidly than any other type. Some
of these enjoy state support. There are
also associations for the purchase of
foodstuffs for the working classes, for
the purchase of raw materials and i'm

building associations and cooperative

by the intersection of three narrow
streets in the workingmen's quarter,
