The Death Chair.

HOW CZOLGOSZ WILL BE EXECUTED.

The Anarchist who shot President M'Kinley will be executed by electricity, says Alexander Eenealy in the Daily Express, provided that he is found guilty ot murder in the first degree by tho local Court et liuffsie, aud that he is, not pardoned by Mr Odell, the Governor of Hew York State, who, of course, would not pardon him or commute his sentence. The first person to be electrocuted was a man named Kommler, The Mew York newspapers, in defiance of the law, published full accounts of too death scene, some of them 20,000 words long, with graphic pictures of the criminal hi the death chair. The accounts written by men who bad not seen the execution, but hud received thoir facts from witueeS'.'S, w»;rc bo horrible that Uu< Legislature, con vinced that truth could net be 60 revolt ing as fiction, at < nee passed » law admitting reporters to these mournful events.

I have attended two electrocutions in SiDg Sing Prison. Both culprits wore physicians who had poisoned their

wives,

The condemned men are kept in a separate building called • death-house.' Erora the time of the sentence umil the moment they are led out to death they may be visited only by council and members of their family. la the ue&tb-bouse ar« a aeries of cages very much like thoso in which animals are kept in a Zoo, When one of the murderers Is to be led cut; to die, cur tains are drawn down in front of the other cage?, so that the prisoners may not see the ghastly procession. The door leading from the death cells to the execution chamber ia never opened except for • business, ' The spectators of the execution are conducted into the chnaiber, and ar ranged on stools before the condemned man is brought in. The chamber ia a light, airy, spacious asphalted hall that reminds one of a machine room cf a modern factory, There ia nothing grueoome or death-like. The death chair itself is a wooden affair, with broad anna. There are Straps for the neck, arms, and legs. Above the chair hangs a metal rod for the current, and ab the feet there ia a movable electrode. The current passes through the body o? the criminal from the head to the leg.

Before the time set for the killing, a dynamo at the other end of the build ing has been got ready for starting up. The crowd outside eagerly watches for the puffins' steam io the engine-room.

The electrician arranges his appara tus. There is a bank of electric lamps, which he rests upon the arms of the death chair. He signals to the dynamo room, and the incandescent bulbs glow up, showing that everything ia in perfect order.

The warden of the prison makes a short address, asking the epectatora to remain aeated and maintain silence There U a knock on the low door open ing into tho cells, It opens, and the principal keeper, a cheerful, genial giant, cornea in aglow with healthy excitement, and almost srisiiing.

Behind him, shuffling and bent, as all tha men were that I ever saw taken to execution, cornea the prisoner. One of the legß of his trousers has b' en slit up as far as the knee, so that there may be a bare surface for the current,

The murderer is led fco the chair He sits down automatically. Three guards baay thpmeelves with him, one Etr&pping each leg, a third putting over his he^d a sort of combined hp met and mask, to which the electric wire 13 attached The op'ration takes less than a Biimre Tho electrician sees that all is ready, and gives a signal for the guards to step back. Then he gives another signa', and a convict con cealed in a sort of sentry box turns on the current The body jumps as the current strikes it. Were it not strapped in the chair it might fly up, but the leather thongs hold if", and against these it creaka and strains. Tho face does cot move, Ifc has not even twitched as the man died. His fingers are in an odd position They could have moved if pain were felt, but they do not After the current has been on for many seconds it ia turned off. As the rousclf'B relax the air comes from the lungs, and the sound is as if the dead man groaned Tho prison physician, to make doubly sure, orders a second and then a third shock, though he announces that the man undoubtedly difid at the first impact As the strnnge thing sits there moiionl-gR, it suggests to the excited

imagination a weird sort of king on an odd kind cf throne, with a fantastic

crown, There is a silence and stillness that give a dignity to the dead

THE RIGHT WAY

To keep healthy is to see that the livar is in good working orner. The iiver is the blood filter, and its function Ia to purify or rs6ne tho blood by separating all itnpuwUse. Ifc ia ao easy for the liver to become disor dered, and*hence a largo j. ezeentage of the population Buffers from.some form o! disor dered liver; Thab ' anyhow "feeling from which so many people suffer may be safely pat down tn the-liver: Ab the firßb sign of liver trouble be i-ure to try Impey'a May Apple. T'nia Boien'ifically prepared vegetable medicine h&s a peculiar tonic effect; it Btinv elates the action of the liver and seta tho whole mnohinerv righ^.
