A lady who is prominently known
in club and social circles says: 81
want to endorse every word of the
LIGHTS editorial on the obnoxious
habit of splitting on the sidewalks.
The editorial was timely and to the
point. The practice of splitting Tn
the. sidewalks is not only filthy
habit, but it Is entirely unnecessary.
1t seems to me that 1t Is just as
easy for man to spit In the gutter
as Ii is to cover the sidewalk with
great sluices of tobacco juice. OF
course, all men do not chew tobacco,
but the splitting habit is not conffn-
ed to them alone. A few days ago
whileI was down town I not only
bad to hold up my skirts to keep
from dragging them through spittal,
but man actually spat a great
sluice of tobacco juice on my dress.
Fortunately l had on a black dress.
Otherwise it would have been en-
tirely ruined. Yes, agree with the

should be prohibited"

PORTO R|CAN CARROTE A
RELIC OF SEM|.BARBAR|SM
Official instrument Of Capital Punish
ment Now in Possession Of
Frederic S. HatzelI.
DESCRIPTION OF ITS OPERATION.

Gruesome and interesting, a relic Of
times when swift death-dealing was
not the aim of the executioner, the
official garrote of Porto Rico in the
possession Of Frederic S. Hartzell of
this city, is an interesting object. The
use of the garrote was recently abolish
ed on the island by the American auth
critics and more modern means Of exc
cution have taken its place.
Fastened to a post, upon which it
slides back and forth the garrote Is
ready for its work. 1t is "U" shaped,
the rounded portion opening to allow
the head Of the victim to be fastened in
side. The hinge is held in place by an
iron bolt which sets in socket at
one end. The garrote consists of a
main piece or collar, with brass head
through which a long screw passes.
Attached to this screw Is a long handle
and SO finely is this mechanism ad-
justed that the screw turns of its own
weight unless prevented. On the end
of the screw large bolt or nut. Is
fastened. This bolt works between
tho end of the screw and the post
around which the collar is fastened.
The method of operation of this
death dealing device is to place the
victim on chair against the post to
which the garrote is fastened, his head
being placed inside of Theron loop. The
bolt on the end of the screw is placed
against the back of the post. At the
word the executioner swiftly turns the
handle, the iron sides of the garrote
slide backward, bringing the victims
head in contact with the post. Anoth-
er twist and the unfortunate is no
more. Ek
In Europe there are in use garrotes
Of different fashion, which instead OF
bringing the victims head against the
post, send large iron pin into the
back OF the neck, severing the spinal
column. The Porto Rican instrument
of capital punishment was in use for
many years at San Juan. During it's
life II compassed the death of many
offenders Of the insular laws. It's his
tory is being written by the director of
prisons of the island and will be sent
to Canton as soon as 1t Is completed.
