THE ANTICIPATED
AND USELESS SEAL

A most absurd thing connected with
legal business is the little piece of red,
green or blue paper or daub of sealing
wax which we often place at the end
of a signature to a deed, will or other
important document.
1t is a very small thing in size, but
one to which a great deal of import
ance is frequently given. 1t is a relic
Of antiquity and no plausible excuse
can be invented for continuing it's use.
Some of the more progressive states
have practically abolished it's use by
legislation which deprives it of any
technical legal significance. In others
however, it is still used with all seri-
BUSINESS and solemnity, and an almost
magical value is given to it by digni-
fled judges that is little less than ridi-
culous.
A man died years ago, leaving part
of his estate to another to enjoy while
he lived, with the privilege of devising
it at his death others whom he
might select by writing under his
"hand and seal" A writing was exc
cuted so devising the property, but it
was contested by others claiming the
property upon the technical ground
that the paper contained no seal after
the signature and the devise was
therefore void.
A wise Philadelphia judge closely
scrutinized the signature and after
carefully listening to the arguments
of lawyers decided there was an extra
scroll or flourish made with the pen
with which the signature was made,
and that this was sufficient in law to
constitute a seal.-Case and Comment.

ADVISES
SELF-EXECUTION

LONDON, December 10.-Consider-
able attention has been attracted to
the question of capital punishment by
the appearance last Monday in the
Times of letter on the subject from
Arthur G. Benson. The inspiration
of MIR. Benson's letter was afforded by
the recent execution of DR.. Hawley
Harvey Crippen. Beginning by des-
cribing the execution and the period
between the condemnation and the
carrying out of the last dread SEN
tence as a "hideous Drama" Mr.. Ben
son said he did not wish to raise the
question as TO the rights and wrongs
of capital punishment in general, but
he did wish to protest against "the
dreadful prolongation of Che frightful
business and the hideous anticipation
of the last shocking moment, with all
its publicity, its sickening mechanical
details"
Mr.. Benson then goes on to make a
startling suggestion. He says:
Public opinion would hardly permit
a prisoner to inflict death upon him
self, and there are some who would
regard this as an added crime. But I
cannot help thinking that at all events
a condemned man should be able to
choose both the time, within fixed
limit, and the manner of his death;
and that the resources of medical
science should be employed to make
that death as swift, as quiet and as
| painless as possible. The well-known
| scene of the death of Socrates has lit
tie that is shocking about it; but what
solemnity would il have had if it had
been accompanied with pinioning and
! blindfolding, among a number of at
/ tendant officials, and ended by the
slang of the trap, the dreadful jerk
and the movements of the helpless
| limbs?
"If a prisoner in the solitude of his
cell might be allowed to swallow a
potion, or be done to death by an
anaesthetic, death would at least have
some touch of privacy and decorum
about it. But the awful ceremony
and the disgusting apparatus of VIC
lent death seem to me utterly bar
barous and medieval, and to be g
survival of time when the world was
more callous and hard-hearted and
cruel, and Indifferent to the manifes-
tations of abject and irrepressible
fear.
ut does seem to me that it is time
to take a step forward in the matter.
That a man should die for his fault is
a sufficiently appalling thing for all
purposes; under martial law, and at a
time when the rougher passions of
men are excited, death will no doubt
| be administered more rudely and
shockingly. But there seems to me
something frightfully cold-blooded, in
the midst of our boosted humaneness
and our ordered civilization, in al
lowing the preparation of so sicken-
ing a drama to continue as the execu.
ton which has just taken place. A
man at such a crisis of his fate is not

LEANING TOWER OF
PISA IN NO DANGER

PISA, December 26.-Father Alfani,
the seismolOgist, mas concluded ex-
periments at the Leaning Tower with
trepidometer instruments of his own
invention for measuring vibrations
caused by the ringing bells in the
tower, which, it was feared, caused
oscillations threatening the stability of
the structure.
Father Alfani ascertained that the
oscillations were insignificant, even
when the bells were rung together coz.
tinuously, as was done on Saturday
and yesterday, and that there was au-
solutely no danger to the tower.

DRINKING CROWS
WORSE IN FRANCE

PARIS, Dec. 9.-The French Senate
is now engaged in discussing a mea.
surS which will be instrumental in
lesgening the danger Of the republic
becoming a drunken nation. Since
the passing of the law of 1850 the
number of cabarets had grown ex-
cessive, and in some districts alcohol
ism has reached a dangerous state
Statistics show that 80 years age
there were over 100000 cabarets in
Paris and the provinces. The figure
is now close to 100000, with an aver
age of one per 80 inhabitants, or one
for 80 grown-up men. And it is not
the workmen alone who consumes
alcohol but also his wife and chill
drel. The figures further show that
the divisions in which alcoholism is
most prevalent furnish the greatest
number of young men who cannot be
admitted to service with the color.
or who have to be sent home pend
ing their return after a while fol
another medical examination.
That French statesmen are con-
scious of the national menace OF
alcohol is revealed by the debate in
the Senate this week.
Said Mr.. BRAND
The present situation is terrible
This is a question of national interest;
the very life of the nation is al
stake" He went on to say that he
agreed with the words of M. Julien
Goujon, a previous speaker, that "thC
nation has duty of legitimate \ de-
tense, which its representatives must
undertake on it's behalf" and the
Government must accordingly take
ed to be seen whether the proposal
now brought forward would prove as
effective as was hoped, but if it had
any prospect of doing good Parlia-
ment ought to vote it. The Govern
ment would be mourning a grave re
sponsibility if it did not associate
itself with this proposal. The Gov
eminent, indeed, earnestly desired
that the Senate should pass to the
discussion of the clauses of the bill
and it had decided to accept and sup
port all measures which were calculat
ed to safeguard the country from the
perils Of alcoholism, to enforce the
law against drunkenness, and to pro-
tect all societies which promoted the
anti-propaganda.
In the general discussion the views
of those who opposed the bill were
expressed by M. Merard, who declar-
ed that it would tend to create a new
monopoly in favor of the establish.
ments already in existence. M. Gou.
jon, on the other hand, maintained
that the liberty of industry ant
commerce" invoked by the opponents
of the measure was not absolute, anC
must be subordinated to the interests
of the nation.
The debate on the first clause, fol
gradually reducing the number O
drink shops to one for each 200 in.
haibtants or three for 600 inhabitants
was not concluded.
