VIEWS OF I. AIRMAN
He Tells Why He Thinks Capital Pun
ishment Should Go.
IT HAS XO DETEKKEXT EPl'ECT
History of tho Post Shows That It Istho
Certainty of Punishment, Not Its
Severity, 'that Rcstrulns tho
.Ci inilnn! Class.
A represenfaitlve of The Tribune
culled upon ex-Coiwresuman Anierman
Saiturday and requested ihlm to give
briefly his views upon the abolish liiK
of 'the dearth penalty, as it is under
&toc J itlha't It was at 'his Instance Sena
tor Vauglian iii'troriuced ithe bill upon
(this subject in the senate. Mr. Amur-
mart said itho subject la so large and
Important that a brief interview would
scarcely give ihls views upon the sub
ject.
"Aside from any consideration of
mutals or Miics, which is not without
great weight," said Mr. Amerman, "I
desire the Abolition of ltlu death penalty
for three reasons. FUrti, It will lesson
th; commission of crime; second. It will
Improve the administration of Justice;
and itlvlrd, it will tend to promote good
order In society. If its abolition se-cure-d
any one of these ends It should
have the support of thinking men.
"The experience of centuries has
aliuwn 'Mint fit Is not i''.ie severity of
punishment, but Its cpriluliity that de
ters the evil doer. Prior Ito 1SH3 coining,
forgery, horse steaitnjr, sheep stealing,
laircviuies above l'f 'In dwellings and
huuso breaking were felonies In Kng
lund punishable by death. It was urged
'th.it the abolition of the deo.ith penalty
for those crimes would tend to demoral
llze g xitity, lessen real rain t upon the
vicious and weaken the administration
of justice. In the debate upon the bill
abolishing the death penalty for these
causes Lord Chief Juftieo Ellenboroiigh
declared : 'If thefhellt of forty ehlllLnus
from a dwelling house is not imnlshable
by deutih ithe property of every house-
hokler In the kingdom will be left
Wholly without protection.'
Kcduction In Crime.
'The death ptivaHy was abolished.
The commitments for these crimes for
three years Immediately pivceuiiijr the
abolition were 4.724, while the commit
ments for the three years immediately
succeeding Its abolition were 4,292. The
commission of these crimes was re
duced by the abolition of the death
penalty. Lest, however, it be said that
this result was not due to tho abolition
of tire death penalty, but to the gen
eral Improvement in ihe character and
morals of the people, a comparison of
me commitments for crimes for which
the punishment by death continued, vz.:
murder, arson and robbery, for thesame
years shows that for the first three years
there were 2,1.10, and for the second
three years there were 2,247. an Increase
or these crimes natwit'hstanding the
supposed deterrent effect of the death
penalty.
"In every country in Europe .the aboli
tion of the dcu,:,h penality and the substi
tution of milder penalties for the pun
ishment of crime has been followed hv
a decrease of such offenses and in
creased convictions for 'the offenses
committed.
"The revision of the criminal laws of
the several states In this country, which
has been going on during the last cen
tury, hns been followed by like lesults
a.s to homicides as well as minor crimes.
Mtemsan led in 1S47 with total aboli
tion. In 1S4S her iHfe convicts consti
tuted 2.17 per cent, of her prison popu
lation. In 1S84, as shown In the official
reports, life-convicts had decreased to
forty-three hundredths of 1 per cent,
of Tier prison papulation.
"Rhode Island abolished the death
penalty 1n 1852 and Wisconsin In 185;!.
Iowa abolished 1t In 1S72, w.hen her
homicidal crimes 'averaged one in 800.
000 of her population: after six years
under this beneficent law her homicidal
crimes averaged only one in 1,200,000
of her population.
Only Two Executions Since.
"Then, in a general revision of her
criminal kuvs, sh gave to juries the
right to affix the death penalty or im
prisonment fur life for murder; and
since thn sine has had but two execu
tions, but homiioldi-s have Increased
faster thain her population, so that the
wisdom of repealing her excellent law
of 1872 Is 'not apparent.
"Alain's had for many years practiced
abolition of the death penalty. Although
its provision was retained In her laws,
which required a year to nlapse be
tween conviction and execution, and
then to be ordered by the governor.
The provision for execution was not
mandatary, and few executions ware
ord?red. In 1876 her leglsture abolished
capital punl-shment. In ISSJ. moved to
acitlon by the maddened passion of ft
life convict who killed a keeper tn
prison, her lpglalaturerentored the dciath
penalty by a. barely constitutional votft
In each house. In 1887 her lefrlslatuire
ngal'n abolished the penalty with a two
thirds vote in one house and a three
fourths vote in the other.
"In 1882 tlKtre were committed in the
I'nlted States 1.487 murders. Of tihe3
murderrsbutl21 w're executed. In 1891
there were commuted In the UnMed
States 6,906 murders notwithstanding
the supposed deterrent effects of the
death penalty. Of these murderers but
123 were executed. In other words, but
8pe'rcent.of the murderers In 1882 were
executed, iand but two per cent, of tha
murderers In 1891 were executed. Juries
have practically abolished the death
pWMiity. The administration of Justice
Is brought Into dispute. Th'5 law Is
held In contempt by the people. The
deterrent effect of certain punishment
ts lost. Severe penalties defeat Justice.
What It Means.
"The vicious are encouraged In their
wickedness. Crime Increases. Laws
not aipproved by the judgment of (the
people can no be cnfieed under our
form of government. The defeat of law
Jn its enforcement In but a. single case
tend to demoralization and lawless
news. AlralWh 'the d.ath penalty end
here, as elsewhere, the administration of
Justice will be Improved and the safe
ty of society will be Increased.
A disrespect for law and a contempt
or the administration of Justice always
and "evurywherie is destructive to good
order In noclaty. A penalty not re
pugnant to tluf better judgment of the
educated cotiiscJemce amd the humane
feelings of the people can be Imposed
certainly and speedily.
"Its imposition will deter the evil
minded and begot such a respect 'for
law and the administration of Justice
as 'to make it . conservator of ithe
peace.
"With no unjust sympathy for the
evil doer and a, firm belief that crime
hould be certainly and speedily pun
ished, It In my mature Judgment, after
years of thought and aludy upon this
subject, that the abolition of the death
penalty is demanded by every connkl
eratlon that effects the peace, happi
ness' ami safety of society,"

A large audience listened to Miss
Or?a' closing . cooking lecture. The
subj'oct was "A Family Breakfast.'
Sh;i said that'tho early morning meal
should u;ot 'be too hearty, that eggs, for
inctanee, should not be served with
steak or fresh meat, although they
might be perniissable with bacon or
liver. In giving the recipes for oat
meal and liver lolls she said that each
could be prepared the night previous to
the breakfast.
As to Oatme'ul.
Oatmeal For the steel cut oats not
subjected to previous heat long cooking Is
required. All raw cereals require Ions
cooking to be made digestible. Take Is
cup of oatmeal, put in a furina boiler
with 3 cups of hot water, 'a teaspoonful of
salt and allow It to couk without stir
ring for ten hours.
Liver Rolls Tuko 1 pound of calf's liver,
cover with boiling water and let stand
for 5 minutes; have ',4 pound of breakfast
bacoi cut in very thin slices; pluco a
piece of bacon on each piece of liver, roll
and tie with a string; put the remaining
bacon in a pun with the rolls which
should be browned on each side; tuke
them out and put with the bacon left In
the pun 1 tublespoonful of Hour, udd 1
pint of water or stock, 1 tublespoonful of
W orcestershlre sauce, 1 tablespooniul or
mushroom catsup, a teuspoonful of salt,
a slice of onion and a bay leuf ; pour over
the rolls and allow to simmer for one
hour; tuke off the strings and dish.
Omelette Take 4 eggs, beat without
separating Just enough to mix add 4
tablespoonfuls of warm water and a tea
spoonful of butter; place a teuspoonful cf
butter Into an omelette pun ami pour In
the mixture; as soon as It begins to set
raise It with a knife so that the liquid cun
flow beneath, dust with suit und pepper
roll over and turn out on a hot platter
it should be served at once. Milk makes
an omelette tough and Heavy and beating
robes it of its lluvor.
Other llrcakfust Dishes.

cups of whole wheat nour, ' cup of corn

Coffee There Is only one proper way
to muke coffee and thut Is by percolation

tablespoonfuls of pulverized Juva and
Mocha, two-thirds of one and one-half of
the other, lu the coffee pot; odd 1 cup of
cold water to the white of one egg; pour
one-third of the mixture on tho coffee

WHAT IS UNIVERSALIS
Kestorution of the Whole rumilv to
Holiness and Happiness.
SEKMON OP KEY. P. E. ADAMS
Ho Sets Forth in Plain Language What
the Members of the Inivcrsalist
Church Believe In and Gives the
Grounds of Their Belief.
Rev. F. E. Adams, of Nicholson,
preached a special sermon to a large
congregation at the All Soul's Univer
salis! chapel last evening, his theme
being "What the Unlversalist Church
Stands For." The reverend gentleman
said:
Every church, society and organiza
tion stands for something. It Is only
by Its usefulness, Its progress nnd prin
ciple that a church, society or organiza
tion can demand Its light to existence.
Many an organization has risen but to
full because the principle it represented
was too slight to hold Its own. On the
other hand, an Idea may possess mir;ht
and power sufficient to ensure Its con
tinuing Its existence even though it
may not be represented by any organ
ization. The Unlversalist Idea presents
a striking Instance of this fact. It Is
held from the earliest times In theChrls
thin church. '
In the early days of the church It
taught everlasting life. Of the six
theologians of the school one taught an
nihilation and four taught universal
salvation. The Universal idea was held
by the prominent fathers of the church
notably so In the case of Clement, of
Home, nnd Gregory, Ulshop of Nyssa
und all through the centuries that have
Intervened there have been those who
cherished largely the same hope. If we
seek for the reason for this we find it
expressed ns the subject of Inborn
yearnings of the heart. It Is the feeling
which Is deepest rooted In noble hearts,
being the expression of a heartfelt de
sire for a perfect harmony of the crea
tion.
Tidings of Greut Joy.
'As Unlversallsts we believe that
Unlversallsm Is the 'Glad tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people.'
First, we believe that the Holy Scrip
tures of the Old and New Testaments
contain a revelation of tho character
of God and of the duty, Interest and
final destination of mankind. Unlver
sallsm plants itself upon holy scripture
from Orlgen and his associates down to
the present time. Prominence given to
scrlintural argument, instead of philo
sophical argument, will demonstrate the
fact that the Universal church takes
the Scripture as the man of its counsel.
We believe that there is one God,
whose nature Is love, revealed In one
Lord Jesus Christ, by one Holy Spirit
of grace who will linally restore the
whole family of mankind to holiness
and happiness.
We believe that true 'holiness and
true happiness are inseparably con
nected, and 'that believers ought to be
careful to maintain order and practice
good works, for those things are good
and profitable unto men.
"What Is tho legitimate conclusion of
these conceptions of God, Christ and
Ills Spirit? Unlversallsm. If God is a
being Justly characterized as a 'God of
love;' if Christ Is the 'Sent of God' o
Impart the good tidings of great Joy; if
the Holy Spirit comes to hearts of mep
refreshing and redecmilng, tihe legiti
mate conclusion is that tMiese agencies
thus set In motion will accomplish their
purpose 'that dm the universe there is
one God, one law, one element and One
far off Divine event toward which the
whole creation moves.' "

Rt. Rev. Bishop O'llara addressed
last wirek to the pastor of every parlrih
In the Scranton diocese ia circular
which contained a command from 'the
church Uhat all Ca.'JhoJics now belong.
Ing to the Odd Fellows, Sons of Tem
perance, or Knights of Pythias socio
ties, must sever their connection with
itlhese organizations, and no Catholic
will iheiiufter be entitled to the btm-
flu of the cimrcCi who Joins or remains
a member. This episcopal paper was
rtad In every churoh and at all the
mnsses, yesterday.
The circular says Chat the apostles
received a Divine commission to In
fltrucit, rule and govern mankind, and
airoug'h the npostles this power was
transmitted to ithe priesthood. This au
thority Implies obedience from men
and those who refuse to hoar and fol
low this Iteacjhing are imposed with the
penalty of exclusion from the church

fits of t'he Savior's redemption.
The archbishops of the country peti
tioned the head of ithe dhuToh at Rome
relative to tJie membership of Catholics
n s?orelt solcetles, and after mature de
iberatlon the Holy Sea transmitted
through Alonsignor Satolll the -an
nouncement that membership in the
aforementioned societies is forbidden
from 'this out.
Another maltter that the circular im
presses is the necessity of liberality in
contributions to t'he maintenance of the
Vatican and ithe Holy See.

"II ill IS IE PUSH,"
When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remeinher who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
GREAT reductions-'-advertising goods
at impossible prices, Gnd no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, aud you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness in
the styles and assortments. We've add
ed another and more taking attraction
REDUCED PKICES, natural order of
things here at this season; LOWER
PRICES than you find ELSEWHERE.
