them to the scaffold. When the in
strument had been adjusted to their
necks, all of the prisoners, who had
previously denied their crimes, made
confessions.
Jose Torres, who had become a IA
natical spiritualist, violently resisted
attempts to adjust the garrote, and in
sisted that he should die with his face
uncovered. 1t was Is minutes before
he was subdued.
They were all put to death within so
minutes, and the average time taken
to kill each man was two minutes.
None, it is thought, suffered pain,
as death was practically instantaneous,
though violent twitchings of the limbs
continued for minute or two after
ward.
Evidence at the trial of the men
showed that band of about 25 went
to the house of Delgado and called
upon him to open the door in the name
of the American police and municipal
judge. When Delgado opened the door
the outlaws rushed into the house and
seized Delgado and about six others.
The men were tied to the stairs lead
ing to the roof. The women were locked
up in a room, while two of the bandits
took Delgado into a shed adjoining the
house, and, after tying him hand and
foot, hung him up by the feet.
They then beat him and cut off his
ears, afterward putting a rope around
his neck and hanging him to one of the
beams. He died in the morning of Oc-
tober l, of strangulation.
In the meantime the other bandits
were ransacking the house. After
several attacks upon the women, the
band departed with their stolen goods.

and it is said that President Lincoln
once remarked that Mr.. Nast's pictures
were the best recruiting sergeants on
the side of the north.
1t was, however, during the recon-
Etruction period, after the close of the
orable and historic work. In the cam
paign against William NJ. Tweed and
the political rings which had control
of the various departments of the
New York city government, his humor-
our cartoons exposing these frauds
and corruptions so influenced public
opinion that investigation was ordered
and the rings were broken up. Tweed
once remarked that he cared little for
the published stories of his shortcom-
ings, but he would admit that he was
much afraid of Tom Nast's graphic
pencil. Nast's colored caricatures of
well-known men in the bal d'Opera"
show strikingly his ability to portray
the individuality of a subject by carl
caturing some Characteristic pose or
popularity of apparel, never leaving
doubt as to the identity of the OBJ
ject of his satire. His work in this
direction was one of the pioneer efforts
in the substitution of the topical car
toon for the Header" of the old-fash-
Toned newspaper. Comparatively few
would read and appreciate the former,
but the latter appealed to all classes.
Many symbols which are the common
stock of present-day cartoonists were
originated by Mast, notably the Amer
icus tiger for Tammany, the republican
G. o. P. elephant, the democratic DON
key, and the infationist rag baby. As
painter he has also attained sig
nal success, and for beauty of execu-
ton and conception he ranks high in
American art. His largest painting is
called the Departure of the Seventh
Regiment" and hangs in the regiment
al armory in New York.
Mr.. Mast has made several success
full lecture tours, and all of his enter
tanning and witty talks were accom-
panied with off-hand sketches and carl
catures in colored crayons. Some of
his best efforts in the latter line were
published in weekly paper which he
started in '92, and called Nast's
Weekly.
1t was Thomas Mast who first real
lied the power of pictorial art in jour
nalism, and his signal development of
its possibilities made him famous.

GAS FLAME MAKES MUSIC.
The Singular Instrument Designed
by an Eminent Scientist of
New York City,

Few men who deal in science from
the abstract standpoint ever evolve
anything practical from their theories,
but Prof. Ogden Rood has proved an
exception, reports New York ex-
change. A New York mechanic has
constructed, upon the professors sug-
gestion, musical instrument of de-
cidedly novel description. Until in
formed no one would ever recognize
the apparatus. tits part of the chande-
lier in the owners drawing-room. The
basis of the affair is the so-called mu-
steal flame. When gas is burned in a
cylindrical chimney of a certain length
and width it produces a musical note.
According to the angle at which the
vapor is emitted from the jet there
will be either a sound or silence. A
simple contrivance enables the owner
by touching a button to change the
flame from musical to nonmusical at
his will. There are 30 lamps in his
chandelier so arranged as to make four
octaves. The Ike yboardis in a corner of
the room, where it occupies but little
space and might easily be mistaken
for a convenient shelf on the wall. The
music produced by the flames is very
pleasant. 1t is not so loud nor so vi
brant as that from either wood or
brass wind instruments, but is fuller
and more sonorous than a whistle or
flute.
An odd feature of the instrument is
that playing on the flames does not.
vary the amount of light produced. the
musical being indistinguishable from
the nonmusical fame. All that the
spectator notices is delightful mel
ody of unusual timbre coming to him
from the chandelier.
The owner has frequently had con-
siderable fun by playing the instru-
ment when some one was in the room
or hall that knew nothing of the af-
fair. When the auditor was educated
he was puzzled and looked about the
parlors in vain for the new-fangled
music box he believed to be at work.
Where he was ignorant he usually man
ifested some fear along with his be-
wilderment.

GOOD JOB FOR MAST.
Cartoonist Now Is Consul General at
Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Although Born Abroad He Is a
American of the Highest Type
The Father of Pictorial Art in
Weekly journalism.

Thomas Mast, the veteran cartoon
list, is again prominently before the
public, having recently been appoint
ed consul general to Guayaquil, Ecua-
dor. Mast was born in landau, Bavaria,
in 1910. His father was a musician of
ability, and held a position in the
Bavarian army; but in '46, having re-
ceived a timely warning of the APP
proach of the revolution which later
swept over Europe, he emigrated to
America, where he became a member
of the famous Philharmonic society, of
New York city. The son, Thomas,
was educated in the public schools of
that city, and early displayed marked
artistic ability. After few months
of study under Theodore Kaufman,
he began to furnish sketches of Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, which
accepted and appreciated his work
from the first. Before he was 20 years
of age the New York Illustrated News
sent him to England to sketch the
great International prize fight between
Heenan and Sayers. Soon after that
memorable affair, Mr.. Mast went to
Italy and joined the army of Carl
baldi, and served throughout the vic
torious campaign in Sicily and Gala
bria. During this time he contrib
uted numerous battle pictures to the
illustrated press of New York, Lon
don and Paris, and as an aide on Gen.
Garibaldi's staff he was entrusted with
several diplomatic missions of impor-
lance.
Returning to the United States in
1861 with an experience and training
enjoyed by no other American artist,
he was well equipped to prove himself
factor in the stirring days of the
civil war. He was connected with
Harper's Weekly, and his work in that
periodical soon placed it among the
foremost journals of the day. Mr..
Mast espoused the cause OF the union,

DEATH BY GARROTE.
How Four Criminals Were Executed
Recently mt Ponce, Island of

-Four men were garroted at Ponce,
Porto Rico, recently, for one of the
most atrocious crimes ever committed
in Porto Rico, the murder of Antonio
Delgado de Pine, at Guayo, near Ad-
juntas, and the robbery and i'll treat

the night of September 30, 1898.

MUST LOOK WELL WORN.
Hat-BOxes and Dress-Suit Cases DAM
aged PurpOsely to Suit Sensi-
tive buyers.

That characteristic of youth which
make persons shrink from ridicule
as they would from a burning brand
has been pointed out many a time,
says the Chicago Tribune. A man
went into a leather store recently
where trunks, dress-suit cases and
top-hat boxes were for sale. The
proprietor of the store said, when he
asked for a suit case:
would you like a brand new one.
or one whose appearance is some
what worn? Both are equally good.
The difference is simply matter of
personal choice"
why should anyone wanting a new
dress-suit case be satisfied with one
whose leather bears marks of wcar?"
said the would-he purchaser.
Eve keep two kinds" replied the
dealer, for the simple reason that
they are demanded by the trade.
When this particular form of grip
first came into fashion only the
brand new ones were sold. To offer
or expect anyone to purchase soiled
and battered case would seem as alb
surd as to imagine a person buying
pair of stubbed boots.
Zone day a stylishly dressed young
man came in and said he wanted Il
dress-suit case. We showed him va
rious kinds, but he was not satisfied.
At last he said: These are good
cases, | know, but what l want is one
that doesn't look so shiny new He
explained that it was no light task
to carry brand new dress-suit case
through crowded street, into Il
thronged railroad station, and then
lift it, in all its glossiness, through
a well-filled car. Everybody rubbers
at you and the case he said, and you
feel like a farmer At last we sue
ceeded in fixing up new case so
that it looked like an old one, and he
departed happy. That put an idea
into our heads, and ever since we
have always kept stock of appar-
emily secondhand grips on hand for
the satisfaction of our customers
who are sensitive about ridicule.
And, do you know, they sell remarka-
bly, well.
But, bless you, the dress-suit case
isn't a marker to the top-hat case.
Where we sell one disfigured dress
suit case we sell three for top hats.
Now, the reason for this difference ia
the same that made the damaged
cases popular. We sell more grips
than we do hat cases, leaving out of
consideration entirely those pur.
chased by women, who constitute one
of our best sources of trade. There
is something unusually personal
about top hat. No young man ever
assumed it without a thrill of self.
consciousness. 1t is no easy matter
Tor nm to emerge thus attired for
the first time on the public thorough
fare. One feels that the whole wide
world is focusing it's eyes directly on
the top of ones head. Is it not true?
We'll, then you may understand how
that same young fellow may feel
when he transports for the first few
times a new, glowing hat case, with
brass lock shining like a polished
mirror in the sun. So we are ready
to supply him with one that looks
as If it had been through long months
OF service both at home and abroad,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-07-03

yet is really as new as any on our
shelves. L have heard of young men
kicking the cases, or dragging them
through the mud hitting them
against picket fences, leaving them
out in rain to get off that new look
which is so distressing.
But here is an interesting little
commentary on much discussed
controversy. Women do not care.
The newer the suit case the better
they like it. If, as some say, they
possess vanity, it does not show itself
along those lines"
