AN EXECUTION in INDIA.
How . Sentence Of Death Was Car
ried Out on Streets Of Ayderabad.

The decision as to whether the
murderer should be executed or i'm
prisoned for life was, says the Civil and
Military Gazette in describing an exc
cut'on at Hyderabad OF a Pathan who
had shot his brother-in-law, as is
usual. left to the murdered mans reln
tiyes. and his wife. the sister of the
murderer, voted for death.
On the day for the execution there
appeared in the streets a band OF
sweepers armed with leafy twigs, fol
lowed by a squad of the city Arab
police with fixed bayonets. Then
came the criminal. dressed in new
white garments. with a new halter
around his neck and new ropes at.
tached to his arms. The ends OF
these ropes We're held by policemen.
The ordinary thing is for the con.
demned man to walk, but in this case
he was SO overcome that he had 10 be
conyeyed in q jutka.
On a-riying at the fatal spot the
murderer vas made TO kneel down,
while the policemen handed oyer
charge Of the cords TO the execution
er's attendants one of whom. seizing
the end of the halter stood in front
OF the felon, while Ohio ) held the
cords pinioning his ar ) behind. The
executioner, brandishing n broad,
heavy sword, keen as a razor. in .
suggestive fashion, and prancing up
towards his victim asked three times
in a nd voice: who authorizes the
execution" The chief of the city pc.
lice on duty thrice replied: The
Amin"
Then an attendant armed with II
long needle pricked the condemned
man in the back, causing him to start
forward. At he same instant those
holding the cords laid themselves
back in opposite directions as in n
tug-of-war contest. with the result
that the wretch's meek was stretched;
and, following the reply OF the chief
of police; the cgecutioner's blade de
scended fair and true on the neck,
severing the head completely.

Fortune does us neither good nor

iN rHE RUSSIAN sTY.s.
Curious National Customs Observed
at a South Dakota Marriage.

A double wedding IN tho Russian
colony at Rosedale, s. D., south OF
Alexandria, lasted through an entire
of the principals were Joseph Mandel
and Katherine Hofer. and Michael
Waldner and Katherine Gross.
The ceremony was begun In the
morning in the little stone church, IN
which the old custom or the men and
women sitting on opposite sides still
prevails. The Russian priest deliv-
cred 4 long sermon, and at 1920
O'clock he called the principals TO the
front of the edifice. the women going
first and being followed by the young
men. The ceremony proper was spok-
en- in Russian, and lasted but a short
time. 1t was followed by n prayer
aud a song and then brides and bride
grooms returned to thei= separate
seats.
The bridal costumes of the couples
were very simple. the maidens wear
ing flannelette gowns with z hand
kerchief tied oye their heads. The
b~ridegrooms, however, were dressed
n little more fastidiously, in that they
wore regular wedding suits, chief of
which was a long coat. a popularity
about the coat Is that It is worn by
every bridegroom in the settlement,
two coats being kept in the settlement
in case of a double wedding, and
whether the bridegroom be tall or
short, large or small, the coat must
do its duty.
With the ceremony over, the guests
and the bridal couples went TO the
eat' g house, where a big dinner com.
posed Of noodle soup. bread, beef,
sauerkraut, whiskey and wine was
served. The women occupied one
long table and the men another. but
the bridal couples were allowed 10 sit
together. With the dinner over came
the interesting part of the ceremony.
and hat Is the love scene which fol-
lows n Russian wedding. The com
pany went TO what is called the love
room in one of the houses, where be
fore the assembled crowd the brides
and bridegrooms sat with arms
around each other, billing and cooling,
obllvious to the comments and watch,
ful eyes of the others. AS a sort OF
break in the monotony for the brides
n of the Young ladies filed the
aprons of the brides with peanuts and
candy. which they munched with com
~placency rs the joyous festivities pro-
cecded. At nine o'clock the love
scene broke up and the day of the
wedding came To an end.
