Earn Fifty Dollars for Each Execution.
Amateur Assistants Who Indulge
Their Morbid Taste.

The dramatic career of Dennis the
hangman, in "BaTnaby Ridge is re-
called by the recent death at London Of
William Ellington, who was for years
the public eXeCutiOner. The hangman,
says the London Express. is no more
than a contractor, and the responsibility
for his engagements rests with the She
riff who may take any persons he
chooses, but who will obviously accept
the services of some one with expert
enCe. 1t is in this way the business has
come to be more or less mOnOpOlized by
one individual. As we have heard the
same name continuously for period Of
years, CalCraft. MarWOOd or Ellington,
an idea has grown up that the office
of hangman exists, which is not the
case. 1t might be better if there were
more system and if the authorities ar
ranged for some one to become familiar
lied with the work as the assistant Of
skilled practitioner. MaTWOOd once
said that it was a source Of profound
regret that he had no young man in
training no one to whom he could
leave his secrets and his most approved
methods. Amateur candidates have not
been wanting to assist in the greWsome
work. For some time MarwOod was ac-
COmpanied by a young doctor, who went
everywhere with him, and society was
not long since shocked at the morbid
tastes Of a certain baronet who offtciat-
ed as the hangman's assistant under a
himsy disguise.
1t may be that now Bnlingtons sue
CessOr may be a little astray at first, but
as a matter of fact, there is not much
mystery about hanging a man. ENecu-
toners have varied in their processes.
Thus, old Calcraft was for short
drop" MarWood for a long" and the
latter used to be very particular in
knowing all about the height and
weight of his patients before he pre-
pared the rope Another speciality is in
tying the knot; and it is a curious fact
that many hangmen have followed the
trade Of shOemaking and sold shoe laces
which, presumably, were warranted TO
tie very tight The home Office does NOT
actively interfere as to the election Of
the hangman beyond assuring itself
that he is a sober, steady, reputable
person-not always the case. But 1t
closely superVises the machinery of exc

Intemperance Among Women,
Pastor Coleman Saws, Is In
creasing kIarrkingIy.

NJ EW YORK, Jan. 27.-The Right
" Rev. Leighton Coleman. Episcopal
bishop of Delaware. who startled
his hearers in a mission address at
New Brunswick, n. j., by the statement
that there is an alarming increase of
intemperance among women along with
a decrease of intemperance among men,
has repeated the statement and added
assertions equally interesting.
He says that his opinion had been
formed only after exhaustive investiga-
ton and observation of conditions in
this country and abroad.
Bishop Coleman said that a newspa-
per hostile to his views set on foot an
inquiry in New York with a view of
disproving his charge. Committees of
impartial citizens went to the various
fashionable hotels and women's res
taurants, taking notes of the orders of
women patrons. They found that TO
take wines, cordials. even whisky with
ones meals was an almost invariable
rule among the wealthy and fashion
able set.
Not only this but in so-called tea
rooms intoxicants were served to wom-
ed who ordered them without even the
| pretenSe of ordering a meal.
1ntemperance among women, how
ever" said the bishop, lis not confined
! to the women of the wealthy and fash
] lorable class. The use of stimulants,
medicines, bracers, tOnics and all SINH
/ lar devices serving as a mask for the
/ liquor habit. is becoming more general
among the middle classes. In England
| conditions are worse even than here. IS

Rev. A. L. Hazlett of Colorado
City, in his report to the war de-

Philippines. states that the moral con-
dition Of the islands has materially i'm
proved since the occupation. Rev Haz-
lett says:
Probably in no other country in the
world do the white men become so de
graded through association with the
natives as in the islands. A respecta-
BILE native or meztizo woman would not
live with an American and would not
marry one unless great advantages
were gained
Speaking g the saloon, he said: ''The
strict discipline put in operation by
General Otis has borne fruit. A law
to prohibit gambling was also put into
effect Dec 10"

recommendations: "First-A govern

Kings Oath, Bishop Burke De-
cIareS, Is Impious and De-
stroys a Sacrament.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-According to
" the Albany correspondent of the
Times, Bishop Burke. in the Ca
thedral of the Immaculate Conception
at that place. took occasion to refer
to the oath which King Edward VII
viii take at his coronation.
The bishop said he wishes the world.
and especially all Catholics. to know
just what references the oath con-
tanned, and while the king of England
was swearing that the doctrine of the
divine presence in the most blessed
eucharist was false and the sacrament
of the mass a superstition. he wanted
every Catholic to raise his heart TO
the almighty and make a most devOut
act of faith.
Unless parliament should change this
oath, the bishop declares, King Edward
would. as ruler of his kingdom. insult
millions Of Catholic subjects when he
took it.
I'VE must throw aside all sentiment,
We must look at the facts as they are
in cold reality" declared the bishop.
IF King Edward were to take the oath
now he would be obliged to swear that
the eucharist is not the body and
blood. soul and divinity of our divine
lord under the appearance of bread and
wine, and he would have to swear that
this divine sacrament of the mass
which we are offering here is a super
stition or a fable. On the day of the
coronation Of the king of England
want every Catholic to pray ferVently
to God. to repeat the apostles creed,
to make an act Of faith. and, if posi-
bic, to spend some time in alteration
before the most blessed sacrament
