SETS NEW DAY FOR HANGING
Omaha Judge Orders Murderers Exc
cuted on Monday Because Of
Crucifixion.

Omaha. Neb.-"The cricufxion of
Christ took place on Friday, and do
nit think it appropriate to set the
execution of two murderers for that
day" said Judge Sutton the other dav
when he sentenced Jay O'Hearn and
Harrison Clarke to be hanged on a
Monday. The statement of the court
came as surprise, for it upsets the
long-established custom Of making
Friday "hangmans day" My reason
for fixing Monday" continued the
court, "is that think 1t better to have
these men meet death on the day fol-
lowing Sunday. which is devoted tn
religious thought and services. as they
naturally will be in better frame of
mind to go to their final reck oning on
that day than any other"

Ingenious Adaptation of the Phono'
graph Idea Is the Latest-1t
Has Much Value

They are making clocks now that
, speak the hour instead of striking it.
They do this through an ingenious
adaptation of the phonograph idea.
When young man who is calling
at a late hour hears the new clock re-
mark in clear and cutting tones:
Twelve o'clock" he will be very apt
to gasp and ask the young woman if
that was her fathers voice. Even after
YOU get used to the talking clock there
will continue to be an element of sur
prise in his remarks. This will be
more noticeable when the clock hap
! pens to run slow or fast-it makes no
difference which. To hear a clock en-
phatically inform you that 1t is two
O'Clock. when you feel sure it is four.
will add another element of interest
to the new timepiece.
, No doubt the invention can be util-
ized as an improvement on the alarm
cock. By the application of mechan-
is.a the hour You have decided to rise
