(Auditor’s Seal.) EQUALITY IN DEATH SENTENCES. Measure That Caused Dr. Guillotin to Favor Machine Bearing His Name. The titular author of the guillotine —an appliance recently again dragged into the light of day—has suffered a fate by no means uncommon. Regard- ed with horror, Dr. Joseph Ignace Guillotin was in reality a philanthro- pist deserving of the highest respect. Born at Saintes in Poitou in 1738, of hard-working, austere, middle-class stock and educated at the Jesuit Col- lege of Bordeaux, he began life as a professor under the same roof. Deter- mining later to study medicine he brilliantly passed the necessary exam- inations, in Paris, for a time practising at Reinis, afterward with his wife re- turning to the capital. By Paris he was named depute of the Tiers Etat on the outbreak of the Revolution, his first measures in the Assemblee Con- stituante being hygienic. He forth- with brought about the better ventila- tion and cleanliness of the building, and when cold Weather set in the in- stallation of heating apparatus. The doctor did not stop here. Hor- ror-stricken at the slow tortures of the death penalty inflicted upon the non-privileged classes, decapitation being allowed only in the case of the noblesse, on Dec. 1, 1789, he proposed the absolute equality of punishments. The motion was adopted and break- ings on the wheel and similar atroci- ties became things of the past. But | the worthy Poitevin doctor did not in- vent the machine fastened to his name and four years later put to such fearful use. In after years—he quietly practiced his profession till 1814—the very step he had taken for humanity’s sake haunted him like a nightmare. WATERPROOFING FABRICS. How Mackintoshes, Sail Cloth and Leather Are Treated. Fabrics are waterproofed by im- pregnating them with metallic salts, by coating them with oil, grease and wax, by coating them with India rub- ber or by treating them with ammo- niacal solutions of ¢opper. «The first process is applied to sail cloth. The canvas is impregnated with alum or calcium acetate and then immersed in a fixing bath containing soap, which forms insoluble lime or alumina soap in the cloth. The second process is used for rain- coats, imitation leather, etc. The fab- ric passes between hot rollers and then over a cylinder of wax, etc. In the third process a solution of India rubber in carbon disulphide, chloroform or other solvent is applied. This process is used for mackintoshes and bathing caps and is, also applied to thread. In the fourth process, employed in the manufacture of book bindings and Willesden canvas, \ptton cloth is run through a solution cf oxide of copper in ammonia, which dissolves the su- perficial layer and, on evaporation, leaves it in the form of a uniform coating of cellulose. The process is completed by passing the cloth be- tween rollers. There are still other processes, but these are the most im- portant. Mean Trick. “The meanest man has been dis- covered,” said the postmistress of Lonely Hollow. ‘ “Who is he?” inquired her friend. “{ don’ tknow his name, but he lives in Maine, and he has just writ- ten 11,740 words on a postal card.” Gocd Time Coming. “What is the first thing you are go- ing to do when you get to be a man? “Lick my father and the school teacher.” Was Forced to Work on Chain Gang for Violation of Suspended Sentence. Athens, Ga. April 6. — Kate O’Dwyer, a young woman who was shackled and forced to work on the chain gang, made her escape here last night. The woman, who is said to be pretty, had been sentenced to the gang for twelve months for disorder- ly conduct, The sentence was sus- pended on condition that she leave the country and never return. She returned a month ago, was arrested and was ordered shackled and chain- ed day and night, as desperate men convicts were. Her treatment be- came public when an attorney asked a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that no one can be condemn- ed to infamous punishment except by a jury. The case attracted so much attention that Gov. Smith took it up and the prison commission issued an order that no woman prisoner, no matter what her offense, was ever to be shackled. The O'Dwyer woman escaped by cutting the bars on her cell. It is believed she had outside assistance. She was convicted of a misdemeanor and her case will go’to the supreme court.
