. IiOJroojr, August 9. There has been but
One topic ot conversation in England since
"Wednesday. The doings of the Emperor
"William, the Queen's mishap, the illness of
the Duchess of Fife and the mutiny at
Chatham hive paled into insignificance be
side the all-absorbing Kemmler electrocu
tion. Par once the English press arose to
the occasion, and all the stately journals o!
Great Britain fairly bristled on Thursday
'morning with the sensational details of the
execution.
Bince then in the clubs, at the hotels and
even on the street corners it has been
Kemmler, Kemmler and nothings but
Kemmler. Public sentiment is against the
execution upon general principles. Your
correspondent, however, managed to gather
come interesting personal opinions upon the
inbject,
GLADSTONE'S 0PI1TI0S-.
Mt. Gladstone, who was followed down to
Hawarden, did not hesitate to speak freely
Upon the subject.
"I have read the details of the execution
in the morning papers," he said, "and I
should judge that the possible recurrence of
bo painful a spectacle may induce the State
Xegielatnre ot New York to reconsider the
law. That tne law was passed in the in
terests of humanity I have no doubt, and
the only fault that I can find with it, as one
inexperienced in such matters, is in the
method of its recent application. It appears
to me that so serious a matter as the taking
of human life under such circumstances
should be in the hands of experts only."
"Do you think that electrocution will
Ter be'introduced into England?"
"In the present frame of mind of the peo
ple I should say decidedly not. I still
think, however, that electricity properly
and scientifically applied would be a merci
ful and painless method of executing crim
inals." AMERICANS AGAINST IT.
Application at the office of Consul Gen
eral John C. Sew, at St. Helen's Place,
Developed the fact that Mr. New was in
Paris enjoying himself. The people iu the
office, however, Baid that the opinion among
all the Americans who had visited the con
sulate since the execution was strongly
against another attempt to take life by such
means.
George Lewis, the famous criminal law
yer, who stands in London upon the same
looting as your amiable Abe Hummel does
in 2iew York, was found in his office at Eli
Place. Mr. Lewis expressed himieli as un
able to give any opinion upon the snject.
He said the details were very dreadful, but
that be must decline to be interviewed upon
the subject. He did not, however, think
-4hat electric execution would be likely to
be introduced into England just yet.
Up in the second-floor office of a semi
circular bnilding at Temple Bar, with win
dows looking clear down Fleet street to
Blackfriars' bridge, sat Michael Davitt. He
js recovering lrora a serious illness and is
figuring out the intricate problem of how
to get his new labor paper upon the market.
BIS BLOOD BTJKS COLD.
"I hare read the accounts of the execu
tion," he said, "and they made my blood
run cold. I am cot expert enough to
Tenture an opinion as to whether the new
mode of execution isamercilnl one or not,
bnt it has ten times the attendant horrors of
a common place hanging."
"Do you think the method will ever be
Introduced into England?"
"X can't tell, but you may be sure that we
won't have it in Ireland if we can help it.
I don't approve of any form of capital pun
ishment, but if it must be bad. a well con
ducted hanging where the rope is properly
adjusted and the subject's neck scientifically
broken, bests any other method on earth."
At all the newspaper offices the tone ot
general opinion remains the same, and this
finds voice in the various long-winded edi
torials which so gladden the Englishman's
heart. At the American legation no opin
ion could be obtained from Minister Lin
coln, who was out of town, but Secretary
HcCormick did not hesitate to say that the
details of the execution had upset him.
"I know nothing about executions," he
aald, "excepting what 1 read in the news
papers, but the details of this ono were
peculiarly revolting, and I have never read
an account of one that gave me such a
shock. I am not in position to offer any
opinion as to the probability of electrocu
tion ever being introdnced into England. It
strikes me as highly improbable, however,
fitter reading the de'alls oi Kemmler's
tfeatb,"
A TALK WITH A CABDIXAL.
His Eminence, Cardinal Manning, said:
''The execution of Kemmler will bo doubt
be used as a great argument by the oppo
nents of capital punishment. The old
Hebraic idea of an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth was unquestionably the
. origin of the death penalty, but great minds
of this and past generations have cried
loudly for a repeal of this method of dealing
with criminals. The fear of the death pen
alty has not bad any effect in preventing
murder, since the murderer, in his rage, does
not star to consider the price he will be
called on to pay for his deed, and if it
Is premeditated he hopes and expects to
evade the vigilance of the law and escape
detection. But since society must be pro
tected against those who are afflioted with
this homicidal mania, two courses are open
to us, either to lock ud these unfortunates
for the term of their lives without any pos
sibility of escape or elso to take their lives.
In that latter case every- notion of humanity
demands that the execution should be per
formed in a manner that will give as
little suffering to the subject as pos
sible, since it is not vengeance or torture
we should seek to inflict, but merely the
putting away of something which is danger
ous. As for the doing of this deadly work
by electricity, I think that in the present
condition of our knowledge, and in view of
the facts elicited by its application, the pos
sibility of its being used in England is very
remote, and it becomes a question whether
the law should not be out in abeyance in
liew York until electrical executions can
be 'made very quickly and simply, and the
current be certain to act with the rapidity
of a lightning flash."
FBA1TCE EXCITED, TOO.
In Paris the Kemmler execution has
made as much of a stir as it has in London.
The Galignanl ifutengcr, the leading En-Elish-speaking
journal on the Continent,
ana Lt Maten, came out with a cable dis
patch all over their front page on Thursday
morning, and then Prance took an immedi
ate interest in the event The Frenchmen
think that with all the horrible details
Kemmler went out of the world in a much
more agreeable way than the average crimi
nal is dispatched in Prance. Your corre
i.p.imlent saw M. Harry Allts, rcdacteur of
tne Journal Dei JDebatt, whose paper had a
stirring article upon the subject.
"I should be glad t? see electrocution in
trodueed Into Franco." he Raid. "Anvthine
k . .. .. .. . - .. .r. ..
eniaa me fierren ox me gmuoune.
Everything abouttbe guillotine is repulsive,
even to the absolute certainty that for a
second or so 'after the head of thevlotim
drops into the basket, the bram is still
active and conscious of its surroundings.
Hancinz is simply brutal aud would never
suit a Frenchman. In electrocution, how
ever, you appeal to the scientific side of our
nature, and while there were blunders at the
Kemmler execution, we have sense enough
to know over here tbat tha electricity itself
had no hand in them."
"Then you do not think it impossible that
Prance xnav some day lollovr the example in
this matter?"
X POSSIBLE CONTINOESCT.
"It is not at all improbable, and 7, for
one. should lend the movement the aid of
such influence bs I possess."
At No. 221 Bue do Kivoli, Premier Etage
is the editorial office of QaHgnani't MetMttu
per. There, in a charming room, was found
Mr. Leopold Grahame, the directeurgenerale
of the paper. Mr. Grahame is a gentleman
who goes through life on Persian carpets.
He is of a highly sensitive organization. It
is not surprising that when your correspond
ent delicately mentioned Kemmler Mr.
Grahame became agitated,
"The affair has been a nightmare to me,"
he said, "ever since I read it. I have no
opinion to give as to how criminals should
be killed iu America. The Americans are
the best judges of that themselves. The
only fault I find in the Kemmler case was
the baste and carelessness with which the
whole affair was managed. I have no doubt
that had the current been properly applied
in the first instance Kemmler would have
died a quiet and peaceful death. The de
tails of the seoond shock are horrible and I
think will interfere for some years to come
with the possible introduction of electrical
executions in Prance.

fBT CABLE TO TUXDISPXTCR.
Londoit, August 9. Mr. Gladstone, on
the advice of his wife aud medical friends,
abandoned the idea of waiting for the For
eign Office estimates for tha purpose ot re
ne wing bis attack on the Government for
its coquetting with the Vatican, and went
to his country seat early in the week. In
his absence the foreign estimates were util
ized to obtain some information from the
Government respecting alleged Turkish
atrocities in Armenia. The attempt was
not very successful, as the Government pro
fessed to know little or nothing, although
it has agents throughout the affected
province. But cbiet among them is
Mr. Clifford Lloyd, formerly the most un
scrupulous and tyrannical of coercion magis
trates in Ireland, and now British Consul
in Erzeroum. If the other agents be of
Lloyd's stamp it is not probable that tbey
will side .with the suffering people, aud the
Poreign Office, as it has done before, will
have to rely on the newspapers for trust
worthy information. The daily jVeic has
sent special correspondents to Armenia, and
their reports leave no doubt that for some
reason or other th Turkish Government has
resolved to make the lives of Armenians un
bearable. There is a well-founded suspicion that
the Sultan is deluding himself with the
idea that by supplanting Christian Armen
ians by Mohammedan Kurds be can raise
up a formidable barrier to Bussian conquest
of the Province. The immediate result of
his asinine policy is to make the Armen
ians look to the Czar as their only powerful
friend, and the feeling of indignation in
this country is so strong on the subject tbat
it is probable Lord Salisbury would not
dare to interfere should Bussian troops
enter Armenia. This is the prevailing
idea even among the Liberals, who
are at present indignantly denouncing
the Czar's ukase against the Hebrews.
"Upon this subject also the British Poreign
Office has the scantiest information. The
British Ambassador at St. Petersburg tele
graphs that the Bussian Government em
phatically denies that new repressive edicts
have been issued. That is true in a tense.
What has been actually done is to revive
and enforce edicts which have lain dormant
since 18S2. According to one of the richest
and most respected and philanthropic He
brews in Europe, Benjamin Louis Cohen.
Chairman of the Hebrew Board of Guard
ians of London, the Bussian authorities have
already issued secret instructions depriving
members of his race of all educational ad
vantages and forbidding them to take part
in mining industries or in the legal profes
sion. Mr. Cohen has trusted agents all over
Russia, and is entitled to speak with author
ity in this matter. He declares that the im
mediate effect will be to turn adrift hun
dreds of thousands of innocent and law
abiding citizens, many of whom must in
evitably enter already crowded labor mar
kets in Europe and America, and that
ultimately the lives ot 4,000,000 human
beings will be affected. Mr. Cohen is con
vinced that nothing can save his unhappy
brethren except the "powerful and outspo
ken remonstrance of the civilized Govern
ments of Europe, backed up and if need be
urged on, by the public opinion of the
respective nations." He hopes also that
"the Government of the United 8tates, al-'
ways friendly to our race, will take up our
cause." Public opinion in this country is
already moving. Indignation meetings
have been held in Edinburgh and other cities,
and arrangements are in progress for a great
demonstration of the citizens of London.

WASHIlfGTGir, August 9. Ancient
Borne had her Censor; so also has the
United States Government What Cato
was to the futuro Empire of the Cesars
Assistant Attorney General Tyner is to the
great American Republic It was he who
rendered the decision against Tolstoi's book,
"The Kreutzer Sonata" the other day, de
claring that it was indecent in character and
for that reason not "mailable." Whatever
Judce Tyner, Chief of the Law Division of
the PostofSce Department, says is final in
questions of this sort.
Whenever a postmaster in any city is
doubtful regarding the morality of a pub
lication that is sought to be mailed, he for
wards a copy of the suspected work to the
Third Assistant Postmaster General here,
by whom it is referred to Judge Tyner.
Very likely the Judge may be too busy
to inrestieate the case personally; in
such- an event he turns it over to one
of his assistants, who does the perusal and
marks any passages in the book or pam
phlet that he may consider of an indecent
tendency. This was done in the case of
Tolstoi's work, and the Law Lord had sim
ply to pick out the tidbits of impropriety
and pass upon them. Some people feel
quite envious of the Judge's prerogative.
The Assistant Attorney General is supposed
to have developed by cultivation a nose for
indelicacies unequalled for keenness in
this country.
FACTS IN THE CASE.
Tolstoi, as everybody knows who has read
him, is a maniac" His hobby is tbat the
domestic relations are essentially immoral
his own mind is so infested by and polluted
with the habit of nasty thinking that the
whole arrangement of life which constitutes
the home appears to him a concrete in
decency. The work in question, enti
tled, "The Kreutzer Sonata," is little
more than an essay, the object of
which is to "proTe the proposition
stated above; there is nothing in it
immoral in the sense of being calculated
to lead anyone astray; the impressions
stated in it are beyond measure gross and
repulsive, nothing more. The decision
against the book served as a big advertise
ment, and there is a rush for it in conse
quence. The official of the postoffice say
that they know this; but they were obliged
to perform their duty in the matter. For
tunately for the publishers they have no
difficulty in circulating the objectionable
volume as widely as they choose by the sirq.
pie device of sending it letter postage. Law
does not permit the department to open
parcels on suspicion.
In the case of the Tolstoi book attention
was called to its objectionableness, first of
all by the fact that its sale had been al
ready interdicted in Germany and Austria,
on the ground of its alleged immorality.
When it appeared in this country, news
papers commented unfavorably upon it, and
investigation was thus invited.
KOI A PEOSECUIOB.
The Posttffire Department is not in the
criminal line: it does not make a practice
of prosecuting people who attempt to send
indecent matter through the mails. But it
does very often call upon district attorneys,
through postmasters, to prosecute in such
cases. Postmasters, too, are instructed
to notify district attorneys when
ever improper matter is offered
them for mailing, in -order that the
responsible parties may be prosecuted.
Whenever matter that is grossly and un
questionably indecent, such as photographs
and the like, is caught in the mails and
much of such stuff drifts in through hesita
tion on the part of recipients to call for it-
it is sent to the Dead Letter office, and
after examination burned in the furnace.
Washington is a great town for bugs.
Upholsterers say that there is no city in the
United States where moths are so bad, fleas
appear in occasional plagues, and a de
stroyer new to this country has recently ap
peared here, promising misery to house
wives all over the continent. This last has
been newly designated as the "carpet
beetle" by the Department of Agriculture.
Before saying anything more about this
interesting creature, however, it will be as
well to refer parenthetically to a business to
which the Department of Agriculture has
given some encouragement in California.
A GUAKDED SECRET.
For some centuries past a mysterious
farming industry has been carried on in
Persia and Dalmatia which has supplied
the world with powder for the destruction
of insects. For hundreds of years the nat
ure of this powder remained unknown, the
secret being handed down from father to
son. All that anyone understood was that
the stuff produced was of s. vegetable
nature, and tbat it was simply deadly to
insects of every kind. In 1828 an Armenian
merchant named Juntikoff succeeded in
getting hold of the insect powder secret and
began manufacturing the product in Trans
Caucasia. But not lacking appreciation of
the value of his knowledge, he made no
communication on the subject, and travelers
and counsnls tried in vain for years after to
obtain the precious information.!
Seeds of the the plant were repeatedly
brought and planted in European soil, but
tbey would not grow, for the simple reason
a's was subsequently discovered that they
had all been carefullv baked by the in
genious Persians and Dalmatians before ex
porting them. Naturally tbis interfered
with the result, but finally a United States
Consul did secure a few unbaked seeds of the
plant in 1880, and during the next year the
Department of Agriculture circulated them
widely. Strangely enough, however, only
one farm established for the preservation of
the plant exists at present in tbis country.
A BUG POWDBB FAB1I.
It is located near Stockton, Cal., is S00
acres in area, and produces a very larsrepart
of the insect powder at present used in the
United States. The insect powder plant is
so much like the common field daisy that
you would hardly know the difference. In
Persia it has red petals, but in Dalmatia
white petals; the Dalmatian variety is the
sort cultivated in California. It is planted
in tbe spring, and the plants are trans
planted into rows before tbe winter rains be
gin. Frojp the second year on they bear
profitably. It is ignorantly supposed that
the powder employed is merely the pollen;
but the fact is that it is obtained by grind
ing up the entire flower, petals and all.
Men collect the flowers by cutting them
off from the plants in bunches with stems,
using a sharp knife for tbe purpose. The
picker takes the flowers to a sort of iron
comb, with teeth just big enough to accom
modate the stems; he introduces the blossoms
to the comb, gives a jerk, and tbe flower
parts roll off into a basket, while the stems
are thrown aside. Thus gathered, tbe flower
heads are sent in sacks to a mill at Stock
ton, where tbey are ground by millstones
and passed through flue seives, so that only
the finest powder falls through to be put up
in cans for market.
SEDUCED THE PBICES.
When the factory was first started, in
1876, the price of its product was US a
pound; now it is sold at retail for 40 cents a
pound. Scientific men think it very curi
ous that human beings should not be effected
by a powder so destructive to insect life.
Undoubtedly the1 "pyretbrum," as the
plant is called, contains a volatile oil, the
fumes from which, when it evaporates, kill
the insects by asphyxia. It is most deadly

insects; bat bogs -of all kinds snoeumb toj

its effects, the "carpet beetle" among the
rest.
This carpet beetle, which has ohosen
"Washington as tha first place to make its ap
pearance in as a domestie destroyer, is des
tined soon to spread through all American
cities; at all events, the division of entomol
ogy in the Department of Agriculture so
declares. It hides in cracks and eats eanals
throgh the carpets, much as does the
buffalo bug, which it resembles somewhat.
The new carpet beetle is not a novelty as
a pest; it has been known for a long time
past, but only as a "museum destroyer," ad
dicted to attaoKing anything edible to be
lonnd in collections, such as dried spiders,
stuffed birds and skeletons out of which tha
grease has not been thoroughly dried. This
bug has seriously damaged tbe million-dollar
royal cloak of feathers, brought hither
from the Sandwiah Islands and now on ex
hibition in tbe National Museum.
DBXYE OPT THE NATIVES.
It is a melancholy thing to record the fact
that bugs imported from abroad almost in
variably drive out the native American in
sects ot like species by the operation of the
law which determines the survival of the
fittest This has been the case with the
domestie cockroach. Notwithstanding pop
ular prejudice to the contrary, the cock
roach is an insect of very cleanly habits;
it takes the greatest care of its person and is
constantly engaged in washing itself as a
cat does, drawing its antennas through its
jaws to moisten them. The cockroach is de
clared to be the oldest of air-breathing ani
mals; iossus oi tne insects round in tbe coal
beds are so vastly numerous tbat the carbon
iferous epoch is sometimes referred to as the
Age of Cockroaches,
Spiders, for some reason, are as scarce in
Washington as moths and fleas are plenti
ful. The greatest enemy of the spider is the
wasp; bnt monkeys eat spiders, as do also
snakes, turtles, birds aud some mice.

A VERY PALPABLE
HIT!"
Our Great Shoe Sale is the. sensation of the hour. It has been an instantaneous,
continuous and glorious success. The wonderful activity that prevailed all week reached its
climax yesterday. Every approach and aisle of our spacious Shoe Department was thronged
with purchasers morning, noon and night, and its tremendous seating capacity (the largest
in any Pittsburg shoe house) was taxed to its utmost limits.
Even the above sketch of our Ladies' Shoe Parlor (by our artist) can convey but a
faint idea of these stirring and exciting scenes.
For this earnest, even enthusiastic support in our efforts to please them, we hereby
tender our sincere thanks to our customers (the people), coupled with the assurance
that during this,
THE SECOND WEEK,
Of our great Shoe Sale, we will offer even greater bargains than those which proved so
great an attraction during the week just past
