IDE BARBARITY OF DANCING
Joe Howard Strongly Protests Against It
A Relic of Barbarism.
WHY NOT USE ELECTRICITY ?
The Execution of Mr * . Druse
a Sentiment In Furor ofa Morn
Humane Method.
NE\V YOKK , March 5. [ Coriespond-
once of the HII : : . ] "The trap was sprung
at two minutes of twelve and the woman
was pronounced dead at three minutes
past twelve. " Tribune roprrt.
What woman ?
Mrs/Ilo/.alana Druse.
Pronounced dead by whom ?
By four physicians.
Did you over see a hanging ?
1 hope not. I have seen dozens of
them. Hangings in Jersov ; hangings in
thecourt yard of the tombs ; hangings in
the wilderness ; with armies camped
about us ; hangings in the corridor of a
dark and gloomy jail , with horrilied
prisoners locked behind grated , barred
doors , yelling and screaming with fright ,
while idiotic members of the. Salvation
army shouted " ( Jlory to God , u now soul
born. " I have soon men hang screaming
yelling , cringing with abject physical
fear , others standing self poised , facing
the eternal verities with unflinching eye ,
and women , too. Yes , women bold and
audacious , with brazen front and women
who yielded to the assumed weakness of
their sex , crying , beseeching , bogging ,
imploring , choked in the very utterance
of their de.siro.
Do I believe in capital punishment ?
That depends.
The law , as written , says "a lifn for a
life , " based upon I ho scriptural decree ,
which , whether it bo on all fours with
common sense or not , is at all events on
a substantial footing with the equities
and the procedures of nature for time im
memorial ,
I want my servant.
How do I get him ?
Do I yell and scream , and shout for
George ? Do I Hang the brazen tongue
of clamor. Do 1 strike the triangle , or
make the surrounding walls re-echo with
the brassy nolso of my gong ? Oh , no.
You know better than that. I simply
press my finger against an ivory button
in the wall , which , by the deft appliance
of electric current , conveys to the wait
ing vassal in the room beneath the information
mation that1 his master wants him.
And then ?
He conies. >
What do we do when wo hang a man ?
We choke the very life out of him.
Is that all ?
No , by no manner of means is it all.
We lower our standard of manhood , we
do in public what in private wo deplore.
We utili/o nothing of the improvements
suggested by science , in no sense do we
employ tlie advancements made known
to us by art. Wo adhere to the old timn
method. Wo put a rope about his neck
and choke him until ho is dead. Over his
face we draw the black cap. About his
neck wo place the knotted noose
and with infelicitous linger , ner
vous , excited , unfamiliar with
procedure , wo put the knot either
too far In front or too far behind his car ,
and wo yank him up to death , or nulling
Ilia bolt wo drop him to a "thud , " reckless -
less of his suflorlng , as gross.as ignorant ,
&s brutal as tl0 | men who lived 603 years
go , when electricity was unknown , bo-
! ure even tliu guillotine was invented ,
. mil years , if not centuries , before the
ipanish screw was dreamed ot ,
Well , what's all.this about ?
' 'tola , simply , men and women -will
( oimnit murder. So far as the record of
tin ! world goes the very lirst family
sprang to murder as : i relief from some
\yiong , fancied or real. From that time
till now men have tortured beyond en
durance , women whose wrongs" seemed ,
unbearable have sought by giving exit
from this to another life of their enemy , I
their rival , their hated whatsoever ho or
she may be called have sought , I say ,
relief. "Human as well as divine law
says this is wrong and must be punished ,
and must be punished by death and
death by hanging.
Hanging !
I have seen many hangings Some
where in the sixties uMiithodistic parson ,
a handsome fellow , will' more hair than
brains , or perhaps more brains than
morals , fascinatoil by tlu > ittentioiis of his
female lloe.k , wearied of his wife. He
gave her arsenio and slioi was very ill.
Sitting by her side with pious protesta
tions of " " he
, anil much evidence "lovo"
gave her an appln , and in that apple was
concealed arsenic of which , partaKiug ,
she sickened and died. This was in
New Jersey. He was suspected , ar
raigned , convicted , sentenced. I passed
his fina'i night with him. Oh. how ho
prayed and how ho simir. How glee
fully ho anticipated the early joining of
the augelio band , when he should throw
himself prostrate before the throne and
worship ( iod the Father , God the Son
anil God the Holy Ghost. Kapturo was
the absolute expression of his sentiment.
Ho cried and ho prayed and he sang and
he waited only for the coming of the
hangman as tor the coming of the Lord.
The nee o about his nock quickly
choked him and he went beyond the
clouds.
Shortly after that 1 wont to the tombs
to see a historic execution , that of Gor
don , the slave trader , the victim , the
scape goat , for Boston and New York
merchants , men of wealth who had en
tered into the slave trade with him and
deserted him in the hour of his
need. Made drunk by copious libations
of whisky on top of an over dose of poison
which was taken from his vitals by the
cogencies of a stomach pump , lie leoled
and staggered to a grassy plat between the
woman's prison and the house of deten
tion for men , and sickoniugly twirling
like a misanthropic top , ho bounded from
space into eternity and joined the vast
multitude.
But women ?
Oh , yes , 1 have seen women hanged ,
How many. ?
Four.
And how did they behave ?
Well , 1 can't say that women meet
their fate as calmly as men , for in the
experience of a quiuter of a century ,
during which 1 have scon possibly thirty
men hanged , I recall but one coward ,
unless those who made themselves , or
allowed themselves to bo made drunk
prior to the moment of oxpiatio n mav
be called stum , but no woman whom I
have seen failed to quail at the last
moment.
Why ?
Well , I wouldn't bo surprised If it was
because at each occasion the woman was
surrounded , confronted , insulted , ban
daged and hanged by men , just this side
of brutes incarnate and liends most
damnable.
Como with mo to Elizabeth , New Jer

sey.Tho
The air is bleak , and the cold wind
cuts as with a chilly knife. The favor of
ollicials takes us beyond the iron-guarded
portal to the corridor. In a cell } see a
woman , comely , sturdywith magniilmmt
hair , with great big gray eyes , ana a
mouth indieativo of passion. Her heav
ing breast , tliu full llush of health , every
physical indication shows iier to bo a
woman of strong desire. Bridget Dur-
gin is her name. Keciproeating the ad
vances of her master , she became enam
ored of the husband of her mistress.
Day uftijr day passed in her company led
UP ( o nijlit ; after night iu which orgiecul
indulgence dominated the situation. The
wife being absent , thorr was no bar to
the progress of their lust. On her return
a .season of common sense relegated the
husband and recreant lover back to his
normal position. The woman , with her,1
passions excited , her blood stirred , and
her desires wide hori/.oned protested.
Thn man cowardly held back.
"What's the barrier , " said she.
"My wife's presence. " said lie.
"I'll kill her , " was the instant sugges
tion.
tion.And
And she did it. *
She bit her to death , and the marks of
her teeth were the pregnant witnesses
against her on the trial in ti Jersey court.
Beast !
Oh , yes. boast , with All the passions ,
instincts , desires , tremendously volcanic
insistencies of a boast.
She was caught , tried , convicted , sen
tenced and I find her on a bright clear
morning walking to her doom , with a
common scaffold built upon the ground ,
two uprights with a horizontal bar , a
noose depending over a pulley , under
which she stood , while a minister of God
pharisaically prayed for her deliverance
Women attendant there was none.
Woman sympathizer there wr.3 none.
What then ?
Five hundred smoking politicians ,
rounders , pressmen , men about town ,
favorites of the shortfl' , friends of the
governor , intimates of the judge.farmers
of the vicinage. Tito cold necessitated
whisky. Whisky started enthusiasm and
enthusiasm became a vulgarian exhibit ,
the like of which I never saw before nor
since , and while the pious phrasings of
the priest assayed doiiveranee , through
the clouds ot nicotine that circled about
and mantled the entire enclosure , the
woman stood and shiver.id. Men
pinioned back her arms , men put her
legs close together , men wound
about her limbs the cordage that hold
them tight together ; a man pulled the
black cap over her head , and when ,
with screech ami yell and terrified ex
clamation , she was shot into the air ,
there echoed in and and about that brutal
place pro-anities , indecencies and in
famies which no white man's pen ever
yet dared to put on paper.
And the body twirled.
And the body twirled and whirled and
swirled , the skirts were brushing against
those of us who stood near , while the
spirit was choked out from that brutal
mouth whoso biting teeth had .sent their
victim to its long account many many
months boforo.
Whom did this exhibit benefit ?
Has tiiero been one murder less , ono
liason less , one lliration less , one adul
tery less , one man and woman less in
duced to love or license ?
Nonsense.
I'oppvcoek.
In all the executions I have seenI have
yet to see oao conducted with decency ,
regard to humanity , with tlin faintest
pretense to courtesy and kindliness to
ward a man about to face his God. Now
you know if there is anything in this
Christian religion that wluin wo leave
this mundane sphere we are brought f.ico
to face with the eternal verities , with
that great Omnipotence who sent
us here , with that vast Omniscience
who knows everything before it is donn ,
and with that tremendous Potency which
fashions nil here and concludes every
thing hereafter , is it not a serious ma't-
ter ? Is it not something that tlm young
flippancies of the. press should regard as
sacred , and which the sturdy operations
of the law should approach witli a
solemn appreciation of the realism of the
occasion ?
See what was done with Mrs. Druse.
Guilty or not she is hanged.
The thirty deputy shnrifl's , reporters
from all the papers , men , women and
children and doctors' . . '
Doutors ?
Why , bless your soul , who ts.it that de
termined she Was dead live mlnutus after
she was hanged ? Who jumped upon
her body ? Who put his hand nil over her
palpitating form ? WJto pressed his head
and ear close against her beating heart ?
Who toyed with her pulse ? Who held
her limp hand in his while the death
agony rolled in her throat and spasms
ran through every limb ?
The doctors.
Jump baok with mo my friends to the
introduction of this letter. "At two min
utes of twelve the trap was sprung , and
the woman was pronounced dead at three
minutes past twelve , ' " What does that
mean ? It seems that when the trap was
sprung and the woman jerked into eter
nity these young doctors sprang upon her
as dogs upon a deer. One puts his long
ear against her throbbing breast , another
grasn.s her right hand , and his associates
I.er left , and while the final kick is given
and the convulsive three is de
veloped , with watch in hand , these
little practitioners , reckless ot the
fact that the God in heaven looks upon
un ascending soul , ignorant or careless
of the dogma that the gates of heaven are
opened to receive the penitent , exhibit
their little learning over the lifeless body
and jot down in their books of record ,
this , that and the other index of her dis
solution. Not to benefit science , not to
advance art , not to enlarge the volume
of human knowledge , but that each may
display his potty momentary authority ,
anil stand in the presence of his neigh
bors and his friends , as ono of the privi
leged who can dally and play and toy
with this mortal coil , 'while it is shuflling
off , is part of a procedure dignilied by the
law permitted by humanity.
Is this common sense ?
Is it decency ?
Is ir humanity ?
Would you treat a pig , a cow , n horse
in that manner ?
Come with mo fo my stable.
See a favorite mare who live years airo
cost mo ! ? 500. Silk hair , exquisite limb ,
with a keen , bright eye , full of loving
tenderness at its master's approach , with
a neat , well shaped head , a supple form ,
a waving tail , symmetry in every line ,
loved by the children , played with by the
stableman , potted by its owner and quick
at the faintest suggestion of desire.
CaU'h'ng cold , dropsy sets in her flank ,
and her days are numbered. Give her all
she wants to eat and drink. Brush her
carefully every morning. See that no
speck of dirt , no fleck of straw
rests on her gjossy skin. Pot
hsr gently day in and night out ,
lead her carefully as ono would a dying
mother , press her to nothing , give her
the daintiest bed , and 'when the moment
of dessolution approaches , rather than
let her suffer , put the jiistol to her brain
and quick , flash , crack , the vital spark
is gone , the body remains ana that but
for an hour , when decant sopulchoro is
given. t
And why. that's what I say , why ? Why
not utilize for the departure of the spirit
by the laws bohoit , the discov
eries of science , the advances of
art ? If my beofsUaik is to bo
called by the pressing of a
button , why not the all-protecting shield
of a heavenlv angel ? If my servant can
bo called from kitchen depths , why not
the ministering spirits of whom the bible
tolls ? Is torture what wo seek ? Is pen
alty what wo enforce ? Is suffering the
desire ? Nonsense. We know hotter than
that. Unto him by whom a life is snort-
liced comes the edict of the law : "Thy
life also must bo sacrificed , " There is no
suggestion of torture. There is no
suggestion of a penalty which
brings with it physical pain or disa
greeable .surroundings of any sort or
kind. God knows that death , thu great
black drop-curtain which falls at the end
of the scaffold , Is punishment enough ,
and possibly torture sullioient. Why
should wo , in the nineteenth century , re
serve for the pleasure and the conve
nience of the living the progress and adr
vahcemom'ont of the ago. ? Why not give1
the dying their share ?

HUSTON , Mnrch 2. [ Correspondence
of the UEE. ] In thcso days of trades
unions ami Knights of Labor everybody
knows what a "strike" is. Around Boston -
ton especially , within the lust few weeks ,
we have had opportunities to learn the
meaning of that ominous word in its
fullest sense. It is true that our strike
wasn't on such a largo scale as the one in
Now York , neither was it such a warlike
affair as that at Pittsburg a few years
ago but a strike it has been , and is yet ,
and will be , for no one knows how long.
That sounds like a strange statementbut ,
it is true , nevertheless , and hero the
question arises : When does a strike end
if the strikers are not successful ? As is
the case with the Cambridge & Boston
horse car line , the conductors and drivers
htruck. and cars were not run for several
days ; but at last the company hired new
men , and now the cars are running as
usual. As far as the company is con
cerned the strike is ended , but the strikers
are still striking , or think they arc.
Their position is a ludicrous one for it is
clear that they are striking against
nothing pounding the air , as it were ,
and with them it is only a question as to
how long they cart live without wages , or
how long the union will support them.
Hut the company did not _ succeed with
out an effort. The condition of affairs
last week reminded onoot the old Roman
times when the poor people would come
together in crowds on the streets and as
sert their rights. And when horse cars
could not run without n couple of police
men on each platform , and an escort of
mounted police at their side it reminded
onn of the times of the trench revolu
tion when every poor man looked with
an evil eye upon every one else who was
not as poor and nearly starved as him
self. For it was not an uncommon oc
currence to see a mob of yelling hood
lums throwing bricks through the car
windows ami performing such other little
freaks of barbarity as rendered the posi
tion of passengers equally uycomfortablo.
It may sound democratic and Ameri
can and all that to sympathize with the
laboring men in what they call their de-
demands for justice , but when I sco
squads of special police marching through
the streets , and troops of mounted police
patroling the car lines , and know that
the militia has been ordered under arma ,
and that all tills oven is not enough to
make it safe for a woman or child or
oven a man to enter a horse cur without
thn danger of a cracked skull , I begin to
think that sometimes wage-workers are
not angels.
MJAH COXDPCTOHS.
I stepped intoadriiz store on Main
street the other day and whom did I see
stretched on a couoli , with a white cloth
tied about his Itoad , but Mike , who used
to bu the man-about'tho-houso , at the
place where I roomed. I was bin-prised
to see him in such a pickle and more sur
prised to hear a lot of looo change ratllu
in his pocket Whim 1 saw "No. Mil 0.
it. It. " on his hat I knew that ho had be
come a "scab11 conductor. ' % 'lt was tliiin
divils o' strikers : H donu it , Mistlier Sip-
pie , sorr , " said Miko. And ( .0 it wtw.
I'oor fellow ! Two men had titcppad onto
, the back platform of his car , and while
ono engaged his attention the other
struck hint behind the cur. witli a , alun < ; -
shot and knocked him senseless , lint
Alike recovered in a few days , for this
blow was not hard enough to fracture the
skull , and it wis : lucky for both Mike
and the striker that it wasn't.
Mike is on his car again now , and
when the idea of big work and small pay
strikes him , I suppose he'll join a union
and strike too. Then if ho comes to mo
for advice , as ho has done on many other
occasions , 1 shall tell him to pick up his
traps and go west to Nebraska , for in
stance , where ho can buy a farm for a
trifle and bo his own master. If more of
the men who think they are too good to
drive a horse car for $ i a day would do
this , the world would bo the better for it.
THE HIIKUMATIC NAVY.
It is the fashion now to abuse the
American navy. This is merely a waste
of powder , since we have no navy. But
there is one feature ot American aquatics
which in part , atones for the nonexistence
ence of steel cruisers and battering-rams ,
and that is the success of our fast sailing
yachts. It has been some time since the
original Mayflower crossed the ocean
with its precious burden , and I can
not imagine anything more remote
from the minds of those sturdy fathers
than the thought that after a few cen
turies when the country they were seek
ing should have become one"of the na
tions of the earth , another Mayflower
would cross the Atlantic to sail a race.
Yes , General Paine's famous Mayflower
is gains' to England to compete with the
Arrow for the queen's cup. This will be
a very important affair since it will cost
more money and excite much more com
ment in the newspapers than the first
trip of the Mayflower did. Moreover ,
the English sovereign cuts a big figure in
both these events and the latter will
please the royal mind much more than
the former did especially if the Arrow
wins. Even Dr. Holme s feels that yatch
ing is as important as some graver ques
tions , when no says :
Let nut the mitre England's prelate wears ,
Next to the crown whose refill pomp it
shares ,
Though low before It courtly Christians bow ,
Leave Its rod mark en younger England's
brow ,
Wo love , we honor , the maternal dame ,
Hut li't her priesthood wear a modest name ,
While through the waters of the Pilgrim's
buy ,
A newborn Mayflower shows her keels the
way.
SULLIVAN AND OTI1EII SHOWS.
"The that ' "
hand grasped Sullivan's"
and broke his arm a second time , proves
to have been the hand of ono who know
his business. The last time I saw Sulli
van ho had his "powerful left "tied up"
in a sling , but now ho has removed the
sling ami the plaster cast and the arm is
in a fair way soon to bo ready for busi
ness. The champion is in strict training ,
taking long walks every day , and looks
to be in tine condition. Ho is going on
another tour in a tow weeks.
Notwithstanding the many rare attrac
tions at the olde'r theatres , the Holli.s
street theatre has been doing a paying
business this week. Mr. Dion Boucicault.
with Ills now and original "Fin Mac Cool , "
has been delighting largo and apprecia
tive audiences for five weeks , and still
"Fin's" popularity does not FCOIII to
wane. The play itself is a rare literary
production , abounding in line delinea
tion of character , filled to overflowing
with the author's peculiar wit , and hold
together by extremely ingenious plot.
The time and subject of the rebellion will
always bo of interest to Americans , and
in handling such a delicate subject and in
painting characters of true devotion to
both slues , Mr. Houcieaull has succeeded
admirably.
Till : TWO SAM8
have come and gone , anil now tiiu ques
tion is , diit they do. any good ? There is
ho doubt that HosUm is irreligious. It
seeing a straugo anomaly that Puritan
Boston fchbiild be so , but It is. Our
church folks don't suom to pv. ke much
fuss nbout the- Lentofiseason , and it is
probable that the'theaters will W , us they
. If !
always have been before , as well patron- |
ix.ed during Lent as at any other timo.
"
The statistics are hard"to get , and it
may bo said , to the great credit of Mr.
Jones and Mr. Small , that they make no
boast of the hundreds of souls they have
saved. But it is very clear their work in
Boston has been fruitful , and the writer
in the New York Independent may not
have expressed It too strongly when ho
said that wo had undergone n great re
ligious upheaval.
The thinking clement was prejudiced
against the great southern revivalists on
their first appearance , but this prejudice
has entirely disappeared , and persons
whe were their harshest critics arc now
fully satisfied of their sincerity.
