THE SLEEPING DEATH

Fuller information on the law just
raised in Nevada TO execute men by gas
IS 10 the effect that II is intended 10
bring about a more general 'naiction or
the death penalty for murder. II Is
argued that under the present Nevada
law providing either hanging or shoot
ing there have been few executions. and
that tho reason for this is the reIuc-
lance OF juries to condemn man 10 die
By such painful methods.
BY the terms OF the new law the stat"
rcnitcnt!ary will have 4 specially con-
struc,cd cell in which doomed men Will
lie gassed. They Will be sentenced to
die some time in a specified week. Then.
as they lie asleep, the gas will be turned
on and they will die rninl"sSiy without
waking uD.
With such delicate consideration for
murdrrcrS. il should not be difficult 70
get a jury 70 vote for the extreme PEN
atty. This method OF INJECTING death
is not only far more mcrciful than
those us"I by tho murGerCrs on their
victims hut is more desirable than the
average natural death. St!ll, II It meets
the expectations OF its supporters and
results in proper punishment for muir
dccers. It wilt be worth while.

MRS. ELEANORA C. McGRAY.

Mrs Eleanora C. McGray, devoted wife
of D. R. McGray, died almost without
warning at her home in Unity, Christmas
night, at the age of 49, Her husband and
brother, John P. Carter of Howard, R.
Island, survive. Mrs. McGray was the
youngest daughter of the late Elisha H.
and Nancy c. Carter of Montville, where
her early womanhood was spent. Ed
ucated at Freedom Academy, she soon
turned her attention to teaching and had
the distinction of having successfully
conducted thirty-five terms of public
school. She wonderfully entrenched
herself in the affection of her pupils,
scores of whom in Waldo County will
join in common sorrow at her death. She
abandoned the school room for the happy
duties of new home many years ago;
and while her first thought has been there,
time WIS found to include helpful atten-
ton to the welfare of her immediate
neighborhood and vicinity where gener-
osity and charity characterized all her &C.
Invites. Cheerfulness which never for
sock her, compassion which knew no
bounds, and wholesome sense of humor
made her welc ONE always among the
aged and young alike She will long be
remembered in Dirigo Grange, Freedom,
of which she was an old and faithful
member in the mel q hOrhood which folt
the touch of her good works and in the
saddened home where the choicest sun
shine of her soul was shed. Truly a
Christian woman has gone to her reward.
