The recent deplorable necessity for
the sentence of three citizens of New
York State to death by electrocution
bears gloomy testimony to the fact
that all the progressive intelligence.
education, and altruism of the twentieth
century have hitherto failed to sterilize
the moral atmosphere. The grossest
(and obviously microscopic germs still
remain unscotch'd. In fact. the humani-
tarianism of the present age has affect
ed the methods of punishment much
more than the genesis of crime.
The fact that capital punishment had
been abolished in italy did not prevent
the assassination of the late popular
King of that country. The want of
capital punishment in Spain has not
made murders less frequent there than
in other nations. However. there can
be no question raised as TO the social
improvement indicated by the cessation
Of the horrible judicial butcheries of the
older centuries. and more lately of the
abolition of public executions. The hui
name reader can hardly contemplate
without shudder the descriptions of

western Europe down to comparatively
| recent times.
| In fdVOI OF Urgency.
! There is lust reason to feel gratiied
on rejecting that the form of capital
punishment by eIectrocution recently
adopted in parts of this country is a
vast stride in the forward movement of
decency and humanity. The surely in
Simultaneous death produced by the pas
sage through the human body of a cur
rent of sufficient electromotive force is
beyond question. 1t is, in fact, death
by lightning. The decency maintained
by exclusion of the public gaze having
also been secured, we possess in this
method of carrying out the requirements
of the legal demand of life for life the
nearest approach to an ideal fulhllmen'

In all savage countries which have

costume. which, however. apparently ap-
peals to most women. For ridiculously
small sum. well-cut skirt and long coat
can be found ready made. but the waist
will cost double and treble as much.
In cotton as well as wool homespuns are
many most attractive materials. mixed blue
and white, brown and white. gray and
white. while the all too popular shepherd 3
plaid makes its appearance among the cot
ton goods.
An odd fad for the cotton homespun is
lining the coat with white silk, and trim
ming it with velvet collar and cuffs. For a
wash material this certainly seems strange.
but il is a fact that costumes made in this
fashion have much smarter appearance
than any of the others.
The plain. natural colored linens are never
lined. however. ard, as a rule, the pongees
in the natural color are made without lin
ing. too; the colored linens and pongees. by
some strange freak or fancy. being the only
ores thought worthy of silk Innings and
velvet trimmings.
The long coat, tight fitting at the back
with straight half fitted front. is the smart
est of all but there are many other models
that are effective and some times much more
becoming.
Made with the blouse front that turns
back to give the effect of long revers and
with attached skirt and white leather belt,
is one of the most popular models. while
the plated coats are among the most eN-
pensive a sort of compromise between the
Norfolk Jacket and the long plain coat
styles.
Quite a number of short and medium
length coats ara seen all more or less elab-
orately trimmed. but they somehow lack
the trim, useful ready-to-wear appearance
so noticeable in the palmer styles.

EVENING GOWNS OF LACE.
Garments Arc Made With Both High

Lace gowns of all kinds are prominently in
fashion at the moment. and are made with
both high and low waists. The evening
gown with low waist made of lace is one of
the very smartest woman can wear. This
season there are number of new effects,
and skirts without any trimming save what
is in the pattern.
There are some charming gowns in net
and tUlle. black or white. with Spangles of
silver and gold. or with black lace and
white lace combined. and other most at
tractive gowns in black net with insertions
and ffounces OF black chantilly lace. These
are without Spangles but often are trimmed
