BURNING AT THE STAKE.
The reader of the history of a
thousand years ago shudders as
he learns how men that were
.esteemed guilty of the most gre
vious crimes were burned at the
stake.
The progress of the world tow
ard civilization and enlighten
ment for the past centuries has
gone hand in hand with the
abolition of punishment by tor
ture.
Then what are we to say when
in the year 1904 a negro is
burned in Arkansas? It is true
that the crime of Glencoe Bays,
#
brutally murdered J. D. Ste
phens, a prominent white farmer
>f Ashley county, was a heinous |
me, but the extinction of the
wretched life of this murderer
uould have been accomplished in J
better ways than by burning it j
out with fire.
It will, of course, be said that
such terrible punishment was
meted out to this negro in order
that his awful fate might be
brought home to others of his
race. But while we are trying
to impress upon the duller and
coarser natures of illiterate ne
groes the horrible spectacle of a
man burned at the stake, we
should not forget that this awful
picture will also be presented to
the finer and more susceptible i
minds of the gentle Caucasian i
women and their innocent chil
dren—to say nothing of the
men — living in the neighbor
hood of the crime.
Besides, what would become of
I civilization if wre follow the plan,
not only of punishing criminals i
by public movement, but of mak
ing the punishment fuller of tor
ture and more horrible acording;
to the degree of the crime and
the resentment and indignation ,
of the community?—Little Rock |
Gazette.
Military Mantle.
' Emperor William has lately reviewed
a feathered veteran of the German
army. One of his regiments has a pet
magpie, which Is full of militarism and j
very proud of Its parade step. Wfcen^
the kaiser visited the regimental quar-"*
ters recently he asked for this accom- i
plished bird. A French illustrated pa
per publishes a picture of the incident,!
There is the kaiser sitting sternly Ip
the saddle and there is the magpie with
its martial stride and there are the
officers of the regiment with mingled
I anxiety and pride plainly marked on all
| their faces.
Hor«es That Rotate.
The novel house of Eugene Petit, a
French architect, turns to the sun at
the will of its occupants. It is mount
ed on a steel platform, which is rotated
on ball bearings by a pinion geared In
a circular set of teeth. An ordinary
three-story dwelling can be turned by
two men. Water, gas and electricity are
brought in through a central passage
and sewage finds Its exit in a similar
way. Houses of this kind, costing not
more than ten per cent, above the or
j dinary, are required for the patientt
of Dr. Pellegrin, the advocate of heli
otherapy.
