. ‘ .p L- ’. i .m- DEATH BY THE GUILLUTDIE AN ITALIAN DIOR-Dâ€"ERER THUS Eli-~ PIATES HIS CRIME IN PARIS. Did .‘I'ot Know of Ills Fate Full] Twenty Minutes Before He Mounted the scaffold â€"Thousands of Persons Witness the Dreadful Spectacle and Make Kerry. For the first time since the execution of the Anarchist Henry in 1894 the guillotine has been brought into use In Paris; and, unpopular as it may be u a corrective of crime, there can be no doubt as to its tha-atric possibilities with the Parisian public, says a Paris letter. Although the execution was, ac~r cording to French law, announced on-‘ ly to achosen few. and although it' took place in a driving rain at. dawnâ€"- which is 4 o'clockâ€"many thousand peoâ€" ple gathered at the Roquette Prison to witness the gruesome sight, and af- terward made merry at the neighbourâ€" ing cafes until far into the morningi [f there were Sunday bull fights in] Paris, as there are in the southern ci-l ties of France, doubtless no form of[' unuscment would be found more pop- ular or more profitable. The man who was decapitated was one Carrara, an Italian, who, with the Issistance of his wife murdered a bank messenger last autumn, and afterward burned his body. The crime was not nearly so brutal as four or fivewhich, have occurred in Paris since that. time. the perpetrators of which were duly Icquitted by complaisant juries. But Curmra was a foreigner; which makes no difference in the eye of French law, of course, but which, somehow nearly always makes a difference in the reâ€" sult of the trial. Carrara is the seventh person out of OVER TWO THOUSAND guilty of murder in France in the last four years who has paid the penalty of his crime by losing his head. The others.) according to a French statis- tican, are serving terms in prison. which average a little over four years and six months, except thirty or forty, who have not'been caught, and sev- eral hundred who were acquitted on trial. Carara, it is recognized by many people whose opinion seems to carry weight, was fortunate in his national- lty and in his choice of a lawyer. When a man is sentenced in France he has, of course, the right; of appeal, both to a higher court and to the cle- mency of the President of the repub- lic; but when his appeal fails he is exeâ€" cuted at once without more ado. That Is why he did not know hisfate until twenty minutes before he mounted the guillotine that morning. His case was settled at midnight, and, within an hour afterward, the twenty-five or thir- ty officials which French redtapeism prescribes as necessary to oversee the formalities of the execution were on their way to the prison where the mur- derer was confined. Already a guard of cavalry. some municipal guards, and many platoons of police had been or- dered out; the chariot conveying the guillotine was rumbling through the deserted streets of the St. Antoine quarter. and M. Deibler, the venerable "Monsieur de Paris,“ was speeding to- ward the same goal in a cab. Other cubs followed with his many assistants. The condemned man was awakened out. of a sound sleep, hustled into his clothes, and then received the notifica- tion of his fate in every long and very flowery oration from the lips of the duly appointed official. I-Iis legs were shackled and his arms tied secure~ ly bchind his back; then they tried to march him out to the guillotine. The speech. or something, however, had so weakened him that he could not walk; so. after dosing him with half a litre of rum. he was half carried. half drag- god out into the open space in front of tho. prison where the guillotine had already been set up, and where the executioners, surrounded by the sol- dich and the. great. crowd of curiosity mongers, were patiently awaiting In the downpourng rain. ' 'I‘hcn followed a sorry sight. Dcibler, who is 75 years old and would have bccn retired at the beginning of the car had he not been desirous of bold- ng on to his $1.500 salary and lhlf rich perquisites of his office, wont up to the condemned man and cut off the collar of his shirt so that his neck would be bare Carrara had not falter- ed at the sight of the guillotine. but when he felt the cold steel of the shears on his flesh he began to STRUGGLE ANI) SCIIFAM. and it took half a dozen men to hold him. pinioncd as he was. Finally they picked him up bodily and threw him flat on his stomach. on the platform of thi- machine. It was then seen that his head was not far enough to reach the luncttc, and they pushed him along by the feet, he still kicking and cry- lug out. All this lasted for two or three minutes; it was the final fight whiih nearly always takes place when a man is babcadcd. At last. however, the executioner‘s assistants got the con- dcmncd man in the right place, and hold him there. Deibler stepped to the head of the machine, touched the lev- or which releases the knife. and the Ito-pound blade, been and shining. fell like a trip-hammer. There was said:- . ening slash. a second's silence, and then the crowd broke out Into yells. The man‘s head fell into a basket on one side of the knife. and his body. con- vulsiver twisting. collapsed on the other. Instantly thry picked up the body and threw it into anctlur ion; basket. . .

During five minutes more another length of red tape was unwound, and then the body was carried to a medical sch-sol in a black wagon with an escort of police. There was the sound of a trumpet and I l the troops marched away. The guilIo-, tine. was packed into a wagon and the executioners and officials got into their cabs. Finally nobody was left but some prison servants cleaning up the blood from the. paving stones; so the crowd men. women and children, drenched but. not dispirited, thronged to the near- est cafes for breakfast and merrymak- mg. â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"- HOIV STEEL BEOAME CHEAP. Bessemor‘s discovery of a current of air for burning out the impurities of iron furnaces, made possible the reduc- tion of the price of steel to its present reasonable figure. A French paper records that the price of steel fell as soon as the success, of Bessemer‘s ex- periments at Shoffihld, forty years ago, was demonstrated, from $300. a ton to 330. Thus some of the greatest revo- lutions in the world are brought about by the simplest means. - THE VOLGA.

Outside of the Spanish COIony in Man- ila there is little care for the fashions as they change from scaSon to season in Europe and America. The same material and out does in summer and in winterâ€"or, more accurately, in the wet season and in the dry. There is never any frost and never occasion for furnaces or open fires. g Except for cooking, there is plenty of heat in. the atmosphere the year around. Men wear white duck suits, with thin flannel or silk underwear, no linen shirt or collar, white pith helmets, and. white canvas shoes the year round. The Spaniards and the Spanish half-castes go in for style a. little more. The Spaniards are haughty and fond of dis- playing their uniforms of blue or white and their gold trimmings. The half- castes, or Mestiza, are equally fond of display. but. their attire is something of a compromise between European and Chinese modes. IBesizlcs the one year out‘of seven that all foreign employees of the great mer- cantile houses represented in Manila have given to them as “home leave." there is a month's vacation each year, a regular holiday each month. and all the saints’ days, and Spanish, French, English. German and American holi- days. Not to observe a saints’ day in Manila is sinful. and every one holds such sinfulness in especial detestation. Figuring in all the saints’ days, Sun- days, and general holidays, there are 129 days in each year when these peo- ple do not work. Clerks earn from $2,500 to $5,000 a year, besides having lodgings found. a mess allowance. medical attendance and travelling expenses. In many cas- es their rooms are over the offices.

In the cathed- ral and the churches the music is al- ways good, though it is startling to the new-comer to hear, as he will in some services, a Gloria from “’l‘rova- tore," the (Trade with music from “IBar- Here,” and the Elevation from "Traviata." .â€"--â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"__‘â€" PRIDE.
