The Name of Rio de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro owes her name to the
accident of a date and the mistake of
her discovery. When Alphonso de
Souza, the Portuguese navigator, found
himself in the spacious bay he imagin-
ed he had found the mouth of a noble
river, and because the day happened
to be the LIST of January, 1881, he
named the supposed river after the
first month of the year. The name
was not applied to the city that grew
up on the slopes of the hills till many
years afterward, but San Sebastian,
the original name, is now almost for
gotten. Rio as a city purchases the
beauty of her site at the cost of health,
for the giant ridges that form the
beautiful background to the town shut
out the breezes that might blow trop-
ical nuisances harmlessly to sea.-Lon-
don Spectator.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Lest enthusiasm should carry you
into believing, like one religious sect.
that everybody thinks as you dc, allow
me to express my opinion that there Is
no "disgrace' coming to the city OF
Washington on account of the cXecu-
tion of any low or guilty persons; the
disgrace, II any, being in the fact that
we have arnong US persons whose acts
warrant punishment. since when IS

national laws are supposed to apply
equally to both sexes.

Wants Law Enforced.

Since reading your invitation to the
readers Of The Times to express through
its columns their opinion of the pro-
posed execution Of Matte E. Lomax. /
desire to place a few lines for their
reading.
most enlightened and law-abiding ma
ton on earth. How can we fairly hold
such claim unless we allow our law
officers to execute the penalties i'm
posed on our criminals. l am not at all
In favor of capital punishment, but
when law is made by vote OF a ma
jortty Of our people, or our representa-
tives | believe II should be enforced TO
the fullest extent, and If our lawmakers
see At, or think it needful or rather de-
criminals as do abide by our law,
1 think it is their place to do so. and !
further believe that such penalty should
and ought to be carried out regardless
Of color. race, or sex.
In the case of Matte z. Lomax
think the people of Washington who
are irving to overthrow the lawful de-
United States. I believe that any such
persons as would show enough dis
LOYALTY to the law in trying to over
rule its execution by signing his name
to a petition for that purpose should be
prosecuted. In my own mind 1 think
that is one of the most degrading acts
a citizen Of an educated nation could do.
AS to this execution being IN the Capt
tai City for cne cannot see why II
should be barred if that is the decision
Of the law. I thoroughly believe that
anv penalty of a broken law should be
executed regardless of any and all
things. OLIVER c. KAYS.

Murder Case Cited

Of the Death Penalty

Letters from Times readers interested
in the Lomax case continue to be re-

those which arrived this morning are
as follows:
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
am a reader of The Times, and have
been following your noble efforts in the
case of Matte E. LomaX. wish to
say I do not believe in capital punish
ment, and do not think II prevents
crime. 1 will cite a case that occurred
in our city which l think proves my
contention.
A man was found murdered in what
was then called the Armory square. be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets south
west now the Mall. He was identified
a a Mr.. Hahn, a cattle drover from
Hagerstown. A colored man by the
name Of William Williams was arrested
and proved to be the murderer, and was
hanged in the old Jail, Fourth and g
streets northwest.
This same Williams had witnessed a
hanging in Alexandria in the afternoon,
and the same evening came to Wash
ington and robbed and murdered Mr..
Hahn Did the execution set an exam

leading women in this city, as 1t Is
their time to speak as well as the other
side.
/ trust that every organization, no
matter of what description, will help
to stay the execution of Matte Lomax:
and that the President of these United
States will not sit quietly without let
ting the people Of the District know
where he stands on this subject. Let
US hear from him before we go further
into the subject. Let every citizen in

Prosper, who seems to uphold the
Judge as we'll as the jury for pronounc-
ing the sentence.
There are many bad laws in this
country as well as good ones, and there
are many good judges. and there are
some careless ones. The verdict of the
fury, according to law, does not at all

when a woman became SO hardened as
to commit murder, give her the same
as you would a man; but as we find
no such law either in the Bible or the

have a different punishment, as she is
an exception to the prescribed rule.

Disgrace to Americanism.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
On behalf Of the thousands and thou
sands of our citizens, here and else
where, who may and do think as l DO.
I desire to express thanks for the stand
you have taken in the matter of Mat
tie Lomax, who has been sentenced 10
be executed.
Capital punishment is disgrace to
Americanism, and the publicity OF de-
tails which would precede and follow
the execution, would be narrowing read
ing.
To punish one murder by committing
another murder (even If legalized) Is
as consistent as To rob man who has
been found guilty of theft. Two wrongs
can never make a right.
Society will and can protect Its mem
bers from malefactors, but who can
tell what conditions existed at that psy-
cologicaI moment when the deed was
committed?
Let not the sin of deliberate murder
rest on this, the City Beautiful.

who are trying to save the life OF
negro woman under sentence Of death.
This woman was under the influence
of brain storm at the time she killed
the man she loved. She was illiterate
when she married. She was under the
influence of mental insanity from the
beginning to the ending Of her trial.
She assisted the court and jury by
words and action TO draw out her own
condemnation.

life may be spared, and civilization,

be blotted with the woman's blood.
