Special Correspondence Telegraph,
London, Sept. 19.—There are half a
dozen milliners in London. Afternoon
tea as a milliner’s institution has been
duly celebiated the world over and imi
tated to some small extent in New York.
But the growth of the social side of mil
linery here is something surprising. It
seems to lie the milliner’s aim to supply
in some measure the lack of clubs or social
rendezvous for women, and to attract to
themselves the tired shoppers, overtaken,
perhaps by a shower, who ask nothing
better than a cosy place in which to sit
down, look over their parcels and chat
with a friend.
FALL MILLINERY.
The milliners make themselves women’s
headquarters, women’s reading rooms,
women’s lounging rooms, women's most
appreciated resorts London women seem
to like to depend ou their milliners, and it
is certainly to the milliner’s advantage.
Is is 4 o’clock and wet underfoot. This
is the hour at whieh toa is drawn fresh
every afternoon at home, for an English

than her afternoon enp of tea. Yon are
just pas-in* Mon*. 's. There are sure
to be people yon know there. .Suppose you

A half dozen intimates are enjoying
their second cup. Madame it all hostess,
hot a bounet is in sight. The talk is of
tha wretched weather, of the theater, and,
by the by, of fall costumes. There is a
portiere hanging in the doorway yonder.
Brush it to OSS slue a» everybody does
sooner or lator and the business end of the
'establishment is in view. It U impossible
that, madame’s tea being so good, her bon
nets s ouid be otherwise. And indeed i
is not the rosy glow ot good nature induced
by icst and refreshment that disposes of
the confections. Women clever.enough to
originate such methods of inducing the
rosy glow are clever enough to make good
bonnets, too.

usual this season—a white seabi d very
commonly— and he perches with out
stretched wings against folds of velvet or
ribbon at the back of the hat’s crown.
It is seldom that hats are trimmed at
the back lor many seasons in succession.
Milliners worked for two or three years to
get the bows and posies away from the face
as a novelty, and last spring they suc
ceeded. This fall there are already signs
of a coming return to the old way. ’ In the
London milliners’ windows hats are about
evenly divided. Half of them have the
garnitures massed over the forehead and
half of them have the trimmings behind,
as during the summer season.
Fall gowns fill the shop windows, though
Londoners will not be at home for weeks
to look at them. A striy creature, back
from Trouville for a day possibly, pas»d
down Begent street this morning iu front
of me. rhe wore a Russian walking gown
in a rough finished gendarme-blue doth,
edged about neck and sleeves and about
the bottom of the skirt and pleated panel
with Lapland fox fur. Everybody here
puts on furs months earlier than with ns,
and iudeed it is hardiy taken off all sum

seen in the streets in July.

The especinl novelty of the season in
London are the long and richly ornamen
ted cloth mantles, which will, to some ex
tent, take the place of the heavier fur
wraps this winter. For theater and opera
wear women who pride themselves on
keeping quite up with the modes will like
something resembling a study in old blue

Killing criminals by hanging will per
haps soon be out of date—none too soon.
For we apprehend that hanging when
skillfully performed is but a batbarous
mrde of putting an end to life, and un-
skillfuliy performed there is rrason to be
lieve that it becomes a positive torture;
and moreover, the mere difference in the
weight of the culprits renders it at all
time? an unequal punishment. Heavy
murderers escape much of the pain we in
dict on lighter ones.
FRENCH CIRRET8.
The modern gallows is not like the
ancient gibbet. Down to the French revo
lution gibbets used to stand in every
French town and village. They were gen
erally composed of pillars "or (tone,
joined at the summit by wooden
ravenes, to which the bodies of male
factors hung until they had crun bled to
duit That of Montfaucon, which is so
famous in history, stood ou an eminence
by the high road leading to Germany. It
consisted of a mass of masonty composed
of ten or twelve layers of rough stones,
and formed sn inclo-ure of 40 by 30 feet.
At the upper part was a platform, reached
by a stone stair case In the center ci the
inclosure was a dtep pit, where pell-mell
the skeletous were thrown. Cross and
bnzzards flew about and fed upon the
corpses, and the stench was horrible. As
many as filty-two were sometimes hanging
at once. Sometimes the remains hung iu
wicker baskets or iron ciskets. Those of
Herre des E sarts hung three years before
they were delivered to liis family for
burial.
The victim yido in a cart to the gibbet,
and, when tbe*c rt arrived at tbe foot,
the executioner ascended the ladder back
ward, drawing the culprit after him by
rneaus of roues, and on arriving at the
top he quickly fistenel two ropes of the
size of the little finger, each having m
slip-knot, around his neck, to the arm of
the gibbet, and by a jerk of tbe knee he
turned the culprit off the ladder. He
still held in his hand a email rope called
a get, used to pull the victim off the lad
der. He thin placed his feet on the
hands of the condemned, ami suspending
himself by his hands to the gibbet, he
finished hie victim by repeateJ jerks, which
complete 1 strangulation. XUc otoiy
has been for so many yean discounted
that the mnnu-rof it is no longer generally
known, and many might ima.ine that a
chain was really used for the execution of
the criminal instead of a rone. But this
was not so; he was in the first instance
hanged ia the ordinary way with a hemp
cord, and after he was dead and cut down
from the gibbet a stout canvass'dress
was put on the body, well saturated
with tnr; the face, bands and feet were
lidewise daubed with it ami then a
light frame of hoop-iron was fitted round
the legs, body and arms with the object of
causiog the ghastly remains to hang to
gether as iong as possible. At the top of
this framework was an iron hoop, which
went over the head, snd to this wat
secured the chain by whieh the corpse was
finally sue,ended to a lofty gibbet made of
oak.and studded with tenter-hooks to pre
vent any one from climbing up to remove
the body. The last of these hideous spec
tacles might have been seen in England us
recently as the year 1810, on the point
formed by the curve of the river Thames,
a mile below Greenwich, where the wasted
corpses of four Lascars, hanged for mu
tiny aud the murder of the captain and
most of the crew of an Indiaoian, were
still hanging in chains from a lofty gibbet.
ENGLISH SUSPENSIONS.
In England, Irorn 1191, when Filyas-
born was barged there, to 1783, when John
Austen was hung at Tyburn—a place no
torious in the criminal annals of England
—many eminent people we e executed
Among them were the pretty and wicked
Lady Agnes Hungerford, for poisoning
her husband; the poet Southwell: Sir
Thomas Armstrong, a victim of the Rye
House affair; Lord F-rrers, who would be
hanged in his wedding clothes, and Rev.
Dr. Dodd, that once fashionable preacher,
for whom one cannot help feeling a little
sympathy. People went to the Tyburn
hangings as to a festival. The vulgir
drank and swore while tbe “quality" msde
a picnic of it.
In Massachusetts in the seventeenth cen
tury, several women were among the vic
tims of the witchcraft delusion, among
them being Mrs. Hibbens, who was a sister
of uor. Bellingham and widow of a man
of good position in the colony. Some of
those persons who were hanged at the tjmc
ol the ‘'Salem witchcraft" were women of
good repute. One was hanged in New
York, charged with having been concerned
in the “negro plot” ol 1741, one of the
strangest events of colonial history. Mrs.
Bathsheba Spooner was hanged in Worces
ter, _ Mass., on July 3, 1778, she
having taken pait in the murder
of her husband. Mrs. Spooner was c
daughter of Gen. Ruggels, a public man of
great note 100 years ago, but who took the
tory side of the revolution and was ruined;
and Mrs. Spooner vm « *WT*tR{tf
who was unhappily m a riled. She seduced
a young American lohlier, Ezra Ross, and
Ross and two British (oldiersof Burgoyne’s
which could only he proved against the
unforturftite prisoner by much straining of
the law. Thitf severity and a knowledge
of the wrong which she had suffered in
other ways made her an object of much
public sympathy. The hanging was accom
panied by certain coarse and shocking
jiullirg and striking of the body and
limbs, w hich in those days were supposed
to insure more ifftcluslly the death of the
victim and to lc-.-entli- period of suffering
After hanging the usual time stio was cut
down, actually trampled on while pros
trate, and left with the rope tinslackeoed
round iter neck. She was put into a coflin
and consigned to thfdoctors fordiaes-clion.
To the surprise of all, when the cofliti was
opened the bosom was seen gently to
heave.
The incident was too remarkable, how
ever, to remain concealed, and men of
superior position took up tho matter. Sir
William Fitly, Dr. Wallis and Dr. Clark,
who at that time tilled the three offices of
professors of anatomy, president of Mag
dalen col lege and vice-chancellor of Oxford
university, being present at the intended
dissection, perceived that the heaving of
the bosom was followed by a slight rat
tling in her throat. Dr. Plat writes ol
this case as follows: “Hereupon, desisting
from their forme* purpose, they presently
used means for her recovery by opening a
vein, laying her in a warm bed, and using
divers remedies respecting her sensefess-
r.c-s, head, throat, and chest, insomuch
that within fourteen hours 6he began
to speak, and the next day fjlkroi and
prayed heartily.” During the time of her
recovering the officers concerned in her
execution would have had her away again
to have the execution completed, but by
tho mediation of the worthy doctors and
some other Iriemls with the then governor
of the city, Col. Kelsey, there was a guard
set upon her to hinder all further disturb
ance till he liud.sucd out her pardon from
the powers then in being, thousands of
people in the meantime coming to see her,
and magnifying the just providence of
heaven in thus asserting her innocence of
murdi z.
OANOIXO PROOF.
In 1383 Waller Wynkihurn was hanged
at Leicester. When cut down he was car
ried, in a enrt to> the cemetery of the Holy
Sepulcher in- that city. He gradually re
gained sensibility while the cart was rumb
ling along and escaptd with life. Similarly
in the fifteenth century Dr. Plat mentions
the strange case of a Swiss, on the au
thority of Dr. Walker, masteref University
college. This man is said to have been
hung no.less than thirteen times without
losing his life,,his windpipe having been
converted by disease into a substance
almost as hard as a bone,
Assumed that it is necessary to put an
end to the earthly career of a certain class
of criminals, that object is fully gained by
the quickest and most merciful means.
Life should be extinguished without tor
ture. Id the future it will stem odd to
hear a judge when giving an order for the
ex«cu ion of a criminal to say: “Your
sentence is death by an electric shock.”
Man makes a death which, nature never made.

Tlietr Life One of Wretchedness and Misery
Without a Pnrolte!.
From Harper's Magazlno
The gray and wretchedness of the after
noon was a fit prelude to Barra. When
we came to Castle Bay iVm was falling
upon its waters, on the battlement castle
perched upon h rocky seaweed-covered
islet, and on the town, set against aback-
ground of high, bare hills. But the steamer
stopped and we went ashore to look nluut
us. A few ugly new houses, shops with
plate-glass windows,.often cited as proofs
of the {stamp* jiro»p»ri«y, sed then the
real Barra, a mass of black cottages—com
pared to which those of Mull were
mansions, those of Kilehrennan pal
aces—running up. and down' the
rocky hillside. Only by a polite figure of
speech can the stone pilo in which the
Hebridean crofter make* his home he
called a cottage. It is, as it was described
many years ago, but “a heavy thatched
roof thrown over a few rudely put together
stones.” The long low walls are built of
loose rotk blackened by constant rain. The
thatched roof, almost as blsvtk, is held in
place without by a net-work of ropes,
within by rafters of drift-wood. The
crofter has no wood save that which the
sea yield#, and y*t in some districts he
must pay for picking up the beams and
spars washed up on His wild shores, just
as he must fur the grass and lietther he
ent* from tbe wilder mourlaud when he
makes his roof. Not until you come close
to the rough stone heap can you see that
it is a house, with an opening for doorway,
one tiny hole for window. From a dis
tance there is but its smoke to distinguish
it from tha rocks strewn around it.
At Castle Boy, where many of these
“scenes of misery,” as Pennant called them
one hundred years ago, were grouped lo
go her, tliere waa uot even the prrtenre of
&. sir. e , but just the rock, rough, ragged
and broken, aa God made it. The |ieople
who live hire are almost all fishermen,
and, os if iu token of their cilling, they
have fastened the thatch of their roofs into
tbe shape of boats. One cottage, indeed,
is lopped with a genuine boat, There were
a few chimneys, but smoke came pouring
from llie doors, from holes in the thatch
and walls. Many of the roofs had « lux
tirianl growth of grass, with here and
there a clump of daisies, nr of yellow
flowers which give color to Highland road
sides. But this was all the green we saw
on their hillsides of ruck and mud.
Monday, Nov. 5th, is tho day on which
the g’reat state fair will open in Macon.
That is the date fixed by the joint meet
ing of tlie citizens’ committee and the fair
committee of the Agricultural Society
held at the Hotel Lanier last night,
Agreea le to the notice published in the
TklEobaph of yesterday, the citizens com
mittee composed of the following: Geo. L.
Mason, D 1 . A. Keating, J. Van, W. Q. Solo
mon, J. C. Hannon, G. M. Davis, if. M.
Block, W. A. Huff, Sul Waxelbaum, I. D.
Crawford, Geo. B. Wells anil R. L. Henry,
met in parlor No. 3 on the second floor.
The fair committee of tho agricultural
Bociety, composed of the following: Presi
dent W. J. Northen, Vice-President J-. tjt
Waddell, Treasurer R. J. Powell, Supt.
Pearce Home, Dr. II. H. Carey, Ir. Sara-
Hape, Col. A,T. Putnam, Col. George Hi
Jones, and Secretary Nisbet, met in parlor
No. 2, on the first floor. Both bodies went
to work on the question whether or not a
fair should be held.
The first step looking to. a decision in
the matter was tlx; appointment by the
committee in No. % of a committee com
posed of Messrs. Wells, Davis and Van to
go below and ascertain at what time the
committee in No. 2 would be ready for a
conference. In a short time the’ entire
committee from below tiled into No. 3 snd
the hall was opened by M yor Price, who
said that possibly the quarantine might
be regarded by the fair officers as an obsta
cle in the way ofholding a fair* this year.
That being the case he would state tlifft at
a special meeting of the board held that
afternoon, the following resolution had
been adopted r
W ltereas, The oontinued cool weather
and the subsiding of the yellow fever in
in Florida, coupled with the government
quarantine which prevents travel fron
Florida - in this direction, has lessened the
danger, and the excellent sanitary condi
tion of this city, and frost in this vicinity
has made it impossible that yellow fever
can get a foothold here,, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we are ready to raise
the quarantine whenever the business
interest in the city demand it and circum
stances indicate it.
Resolved, That a> copy of these resolu
tions be'furnislted the mayor and council
oi the city of Macon. %
This was followed hy sperchcs from Mr.
Huff aid others in favor of holdings fair,
aud then tho fair* committee returned to
No. 2 to discuss the qtieotion. They re
turned after-roeie time and said they
would be able to hold a fair provided the
city could raise $3,009-fur them to reim
burse them for losses, etc. •
They then returned to No. 2 and were
followed hoi no time nfterwurd by Messrs,
lluff, Buonun and WaXelbamu with the
foil-wing proposition:. .
“We, the chizeus’ ooaimittce, will raiso
$'2,2-1(1 in addition to the amount our citi
zens have already contributed to vour asso
ciation, which will make the amount about
$3,000. We pray you. to accfpt this propo
sition, and we further agree to have the
Amount $2,250 deposited to the credit of
President \V. J. Northen at the Exchange
bank by Oct. 5th, subject to his order,
toward paying the expenses of the fair ot
1888.”
Messrs. Huff, Bannon and Waxelbaum
returned to No. 3;and waited with the com
mittee until the arriv.l of Srcreta-y Nis-
bet, who tinted that he was authorized to
say that for $2500'tke fair would beheld,
atid that the fair would open on Monday,
Nov. 5 and hold one week.
The questson was then settled.
The citizens-’ committee then appointed
the following gentlemen to start cut this
morning for the pu pose of raising the
$2,600: Messrs. W. A. Hnff, Sol Waxel
baum and Mayors. B. Price.
The entire* meeting was entirely har
monious, and when it was settled that the
fair would be held, both committees were
enthusiastic, and will stun out on the
work w ith a big boom.

place set apart exclusively for ladies,.and
no man, however high his station, otficial

fathers or brothers, who leave them at the

the ladies home- The South American
ladies are very pretty and they dres« ut
