of five professors and surgeons of the
University of Pennsylvania on the

nection with the viyisection of dogs.
This constitutes the second step in
a legal campaign by the Women's
Pennsylvania Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. Re
Gently DR.. J. E. Sweet of the univer-
sity was arrested on similar
charge.
The defendants who must appear

mer dean of the medical schools;

1t is said that warrants for other
members of the faculty probably will
be issued in a few days
John r. Scott, counsel for the
Women's Society, said tonight:
This proceeding is not based on
vivisection of animals, but the need
less cruelty and neglect of the ami
NAL after it has been submitted to
experiments and operations.
1T has been brought to the socie-
tvs attention that after a dog has
been subjected to such operations as
the breaking of the spine, the re-

A GARDER So; A PEAFOWL 81
Wedding Gift of Mrs. John l.. Jones
of Emanuel County Lives to
Ripe Old Age.

SWAINSBORO, Ga.-The state
ment that a goose may live to be 40
or even 80 years old has been con-
firmed in Emanuel county. John L..
Jones is authority for the statement
that his aunt living near Excelsior
has a goose that is SO years old. How
ever, this goose is a gander and was
a wedding present to Mr.. Jones aunt,
and for over half a century has
maintained his dignity as prime cock
of the roost, as it were, his age Civ
ing him a priority claim over the
other farmyard fowls. The fact that
he was a wedding gift to Mrs. Jones
has made it very easy to keep tab
on his age.
Rivaling Mrs. Jones gander in age
is the peafowl owned by Hiram Dix
on. which has seen 80 birthdays.
This is female bird, and in her
youth could lay no claim to the beau
tiful plumage which characterizes
the male bird, but as the years went
by. as if to recompense her for grow
ing old, she has assumed the plumage
of the male bird and become an OBJ
ject of universal admiration, with
the blue of the neck. the green and
black of the wings and back, the
brown, green, violet and gold of the
tail, the arrangement of the eolors,
their metallic splendor and the play
of the color in changing lights, make
her a bird of unusual beauty and
greatly admired. in which admira-
ton she evidently participates to a
degree that is very amusing as she
struts about to display herself to ad-
vantage and labors to attract atten-
ton.

FEW HANG IN GEORGIA
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT SEEMS TO
BE GOING OUT OF FAVOR
WITH THE COURTS.

While Georgia has never sought
to legislate against capital punish
ment it is apparent from the annual
report Of the state prison commits
sion. just issued, that Georgia juries
and judges are not partial to it,,
even in murder cases.
Majority Gets Life Sentence.
only very small percentage Of
those convicted of murder i'm Georgia
are hanged; the vast majority get
life sentences in the penitentiary.
There are 2,S97 felony conyicts in
the state penitentiary. OF these S73
are under life sentences for murder;
.416 are there for manslaughter; 29S
for attempted murder, and for be
ing accessory to murder. This makes
a total of ,592 persons in the peni-
Tertiary for crimes of violence, Next
in number come the burglars, of
whom there are now ia. Other
sentences include 1913 for larceny,
1O9 for robbery, 90 for forgery, 10
for perjury, II for bigamy and -
for wrecking or attempting to
wreck railroad trains.
1t is a rather interesting and re-
markable fact that out of 2,S97 con-
victs in the penitentiary 1850 are
serving their first terms, while 40
are in for second terms and 140 for
third terms.
Two of the convicts in the peni-
Tertiary are only u years old, while
Al are under 16, 80 are only II, and
So are Is years old. Married men
seem to predominant in the peniten-
tiary, the total number to leave their
wives at home being 1,645. There
are $50 white convicts and 2,537
negroes in the penitentiary
Among the convicts are 90 preach
ers, ) school teachers, Z policemen,
10 nurses. Is clerks, 7 merchants, 7
travelling men, II bartenders, %
blacksmiths and 80 BARRIERS
During last year 1872 convicts were
sent to the penitentiary, Al paroled,
361 discharged, 2 pardoned Forty
nine convicts died during the year,

tranquil half hours entertainment
when the jungle scene was flashed on
the canvas.
AS an evidence of how Atlanta

CAN STOP HEART 10 MINUTES
Thoracic Operations Easy as Aldo

Surgical research has proven that

be performed as easily as the abdo-
men. according to DR.. Alexis Carrel,
of Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research, New York.
In the course of a lecture in Paris
the noted prize winner declared that
experiments on animals had demon
strated the heart to be an organ of
very great resistance, and that it
does not suffer harm if the circula-
ton is interrupted for five or even
ten minutes.
The brain however, said DR.. Car
rel, is more delicate and may not be
interrupted for more than three or
four minutes, which, nevertheless,
gives time for the accomplishment
OF much surgical work.
