Capital Punishment in Europe.
From the London Chronicle

Now that Denmark has adopted the
euillotfne. Brunswick Is the only Euro
pean state to retain the AK for capital
punishment. The guillotine is the most
popular mode of execution; Austria, Hol-
land and Portugal are the only Euro
pean countries besides England where
Criminals are hanged. In Oldenburg they
are shot and in Spain garroted. Various
methods of capital punishment are en-
ployed in the United States. Most Of the
states believe In the gallows. but In one
or two OF the western states criminals
are electrocuted. The authorities OF
employ both the bullet and the
cord. and politely ask criminals to name
their choice.

NEW RULE Of ARMY
ON FORFEITURE OF PAY
Officers and Enlisted Men Get
Nothing During Absence
Due to Intoxicati0n.

In the future officers and enlisted men
in the army who are absent from duty
on account Of disability resulting from
drunkenness or any form OF dissipation
will forfeit their pay for the period OF
such absence. That disciplinary measure
is specially provided for in the army
appropriation bill passed at the latest
session Of Congress.
Offenders will be reached by notations
which will be made in the daily sick
report whether disability results from ac-
tivity In line Of duty or otherwise. These
entries are to be made by company COM
manders and surgeons When the findings
Of those officers are In accord and receive
the approval of the commanding officer
they are to be final.
Pay Held Pending Inquiry.
If 1t is impracticable to determine in
the month in which absence from duty
occurs that such absence was due to
causes which should deprive the soldier
of his pay, he will not be permitted to
draw pay for that or any subsequent
month until the cause of the absence from
duty has been determined.
In the case of a company commander
or of an officer or enlisted man not car
ried upon the rolls of company the
duties hereinbefore required of the COM
pany commander will be performed by the
next superior officer under whose COM
mand or direction the officer or enlisted
man concerned may be serving.

Question to Be Answered.

Would public utilities commission.
in placing a valuation on the Potomac
Electric Power Company, treat that
concern as a separate unit, rather than
as a property of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, and thus
determine whether it's earnings are
such as to justify reduction in the
price Of electricity furnished to Wash
inEton consumers?
This IL a question the District Commits
sioners will have to. decide If they are
given the powers of public utilities
commission.
Three amendments will be offered to
the utilities bill that passed the Senate
and is pending In the House These, 1t is
understood. are now being prepared.
They will provide that no stock broker
may be a director in District public
service corporation: that no local public
utility may obtain the stock of a similar
concern without the consent Of the pro-
posed commission and that foreign cor
pora atoms may not engage in any business
in the District Of Columbia that is denied
to local corporations.
The amendments will be offered as a
result Of the publicity given the plans Of
the Observation-Disclosures corporation,
known as the Maryland-Virginia Com
pany, whose object Is reported to be the
consolidation Of all public utilities in the
District of Columbia

ZAPATISTS RENEW ACTIVITY

While the acuteness of the situation on
the northern border of Mexico appears
to have diminished somewhat, as the re-
suit Of the dissipation of the larger
rebel forces in the neighborhood Of the
important towns by the government
forces, today's reports from the country
at large are anything but encouraging to
those who have looked for an early re-
turn Of peace. In fact, among the many
points mentioned in the official dis
patches, the only bright and peaceful
spot appears to be the state Of Tobasco
where there have been no disturbances
for the past month.
Rebel Bands Numerous.

WOULD PUT VALUATIONS
ON SERVICE COMPANIES
Provision in Proposed Law
Providing for Public UtiI-
tiles Commission.

Immediate valuations will be placed on
the properties Of all public service cor
porations doing business in the District
Of Columbia, il Congress enacts a pub
lie utilities commission law constituting
the District Commissioners the commits
sion.
The object Of the valuations will be
to determine whether the companies
can afford to charge cheaper rates for
the various kinds Of service rendered
by them. Thus not only will the ques-
ton OF reduced street railway fare
be considered. but the question Of
cheaper gas and electricity, as we'll as
telephone service will be the subject
OF inquiry by the commission.
The attitude of the commission toward
the Potomac Electric Power Company is
one Of the interesting developments that
may follow the creation of such body.
This company is a subsidiary property
OF the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company and it's earnings. it has
been stated, have made possible the pay
ment Of dividends on the common stock
Of the parent body.

Developing Tropical Races.

when we first went into the tropics
our purpose was to make that region
habitable for white people. We have
demonstrated that as a possibility. Now
we have gone beyond the mere provision
for those who come from the temperate
zone and we are engaged in developing
the tropical races into a strength of
body and freedom from disease that they
have never had before.
81 consider ii a proud record of the
American army that. through it's medical
corps engaged in hygienic work in the
tropics, SO many important discoveries as
to the transmission of disease and the
methods of stopping its spread have
been given to the world. and all of this
is dated chiefly from the time of the Span
fish war.
1T is very certain that but for those
discoveries the construction Of the Pana-
ma canal, which now since 1904 has been
going on with giant strides. and which
will be completed within a year. would
have been impossible. The possibilities
OF Improvement through governmental hy-
giene of tropical countries are so great
that II makes one who has any conception
Of what they are grow enthusiastic in
the contempla ton of what centuries may
bring forth in this regard"

A Shameful Indignity.

There are many noisome quarters
in the larger American cities, and
personal neatness does not always
exist in rural surroundings. But a
man who has travelled and studied
social conditions abroad tells a
writer in the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat that things are worst there than
here.
Our slums are much cleaner than
the old, old slums in Europe. Our
slum denizens are cleaner, too.
Among us it is unusual to sew up
children in wooden underwear for the
winter. Not so abroad, and | once
heard in Hungary of case that you
will hardly credit
A man was arrested for stealing a
pig, and they told him that he must
take bath before entering his cell.
what! Take a bath?" the man
cried in a Mortified voice.
YES" said the jailer "How long
is it since you've had a bath?"
$50 help me-" said the prisoner,
solemnly, Il never was arrested be-
fore-never."
