CONDEMNED MEN GIVEN \ CHO

CONDEMNED MEN GIVEN \ CHOICE. -
Nevada has under consideration
what must be regarded, after con-
sideratiOn, us very merciful altern
alive of allowing men condemned to
capital punishment to choose the
manner of their death, by either
hanging, shooting or poison. The
proposed statute says that the Judge
at the time of pronouncing sentence
shall allow the defendant to designate
which method of death he desires.
If the defendant elects voluntarily to
take hydrocyanic acid. he shall be
provided with quantity that will
cause instantaneous death at least
ten minutes before the time for carry
ing out of the death sentence by the
iailer, at the order of the Warden.
The act provides that. this shall be
written on the bottle: There is
contained herein Sutflcent quantity
of hydrocyanic acid to cause instant
death. You are authorized to take
the same for the purpose of carrying
into execution the sentence of death
heretofore pronounced against you. "
Should the prisoner fail TO take the
poison, then it is specified that
he shall be hanged forthwith. Now
we expect to hear the same cry Of
cruelty. one did when electrocution
was substituted in the Empire State
for the hangman' moose, apparently
oblivious of the fact that to break a
mans neck or choke him to death
was less barbarous than a stroke oil
lightning.

the adoption Of the Harem or Pasha

hesitancy of French women to ex-

declares that the reason for it is that
French women, as class, have large
and homely feet, and that their
shoes resemble violin cases. The
new sort of bisected skirts are a
compromise that may be made to
conceal, and when this is accomp-
lished all objections will be removed.
