ROPE OR Acid IN
LEGAL EXECUTIONS
Nevada. Will Give Condemned
Men Choice Between Taking
Poison and Hanging.

Reno, New, Feb. 2S.-In the criminal
practice act as prepared by the code
commission, which will soon be in the
hands of thel legislature, there is a sec
ton which provides that a person under
sentence Of death may take his choice
of dying by taking hydrocyanic acid or
being hanged.
One drop of the poison on the end of
the tongue will produce instant death.
When the code commission was con.
sluerlng the CLAUSE relating TO lne in
Fiction of the death penalty it was sug-
gested that a condemned person be
given he choice of two ways of dying.
Their was some objection on the
ground that it would compel a prisoner
choosing poison to commit suicide, but
a majority favored the plan.
A physician is to hand the poison to
any prisoner electing to take it and ex-
plain the effect of it and the proper
way to take 1t. The code provides that
on the receptacle containing the poison
there shall be plainly written:
There is contained herein a4snas!cie-.
quantity of hydrocyanic acid to cause
instantaneous death. You are author
lied to take the same for the purpose
of carrying INTO execution the sentence
of death heretofore legally pronounced
against you"
The code also provides:
IF the defendant, after having elect
ed to take hydrncyanic acid, shall fail
or refuse to take the same, he shall be
forthwith hanged by the neck until
dead"
The state Of Utah gives a prisoner
his choice between hanging and being
shot, and it has been years since a
condemned murderer there has chosen
hanging. All of them prefer to be shot,
n they are put to death by a firing
squad chosen by the warden of the
state prison.

Twenty-Five years ago when in our Philadelphia
Store we began the idea of holding two sales CT furniture
a year, one in August and one in February, it was a
daring experiment.
But manufacturers were quick to see the advantages
to be gained by cooperating with a store that offered
such an enormous outlet and were glad to give us un-
usually low prices which permitted them to make us
large lots of goods through their dull seasons.
Each year we have learned how to make this sale
better-and as market conditions varied from year to
year we fitted our course in the light of experiences.
