most of these officers are serving in Morgan, Foraker and others who

report that they possess a limited Yorker heard their names without
knowledge of Spanish. This makes manifesting the slightest degree of
a total of some 600 officers who are interest. He had no response to

A JUNKSHOF GUN.
“During the recent Chinese trou
ble,” says the Philadelphia Press,
“Gunner Joseph A. Mitchell of the
cruiser Newark was stationed at
Peking when the trouble was at its
worst and when Peking was a hot
bed of revolt and defended the lega
tions with an old gun resurrected
from a Chinese junkshop. The gun
afterward became famous as ‘Betsy,
the international gun.’ It was
mounted on an Austrian gun car
riage and Italian wheels, with the
trail made from a beam taken from
the British legation. It fired Bus
sian cartridges and Chinese balls,
molded on the ground by a British
smith. It was cared for and loaded
by an American gunner. The very
first shot splintered a Boxer barri
cade. As a ruse, Mitchell moved
the gun from place to place, giving
the impression that half a dozen
guns were in action. He operated
the gun up to the very day Peking
was relieved and escaped unscathed
until the troops were in sight of the
city, when he was wounded in the
arm by a chance bullet.”
EXERCISING DISCRETION.
“I was in New Orleans a week
ago,” said a man who travels to a
writer in the Washington Post, “and
went to a neighboring city on busi
ness. I met the judge of a circuit
court and the chief of police of the
town, and we talked after dinner.
We had a drink or two, and then the
talk turned on guns. The judge
reached around to his hip pocket
and took out a big six shooter. He
showed us how quickly he could
draw it and expatiated for fully
five minutes on the virtues of the
weapon. When he went away, I
asked the chief of police if there
was no law against carrying conceal
ed weapons.
“ ‘There is, seh,’ said he.
“ ‘Why do you let the judge carry
one, then ?’ I asked.
“ ‘I do not use the full powah of
the law, seh,’ he answered; ‘not with
southern gentlemen, seh. I use
something moah powahful. I use
discretion; discretion, seh/”
TWO OLD PRISONS.
The news that the New York
state board of health has declared
that the Sing Sing prison is in such
a fearful sanitary condition as to
he unfit for the confinement of hu
man beings and the possibility that
the prison may be tom down draws
attention to the fact that the state
of New York maintains three pris
ons for convicted felons. These
prisons are situated at Auburn,
Sing Sing and Dannemora. The
first mentioned is the oldest in the
•country. That at Sing Sing, on the
Hudson river, north of New York,
is the next in age, and it is also the
largest on the western continent.
Auburn is said to have been indebt
ed to political influence for securing
for it the erection of the first pris
on. Sing Sing was selected for busi
ness reasons. The gloomy gray pile
which is called the main hall and in
which are most of the cells was
erected in 1825.-—Leslie’s Weekly.

A rich lady, cured of her deaf
ness and noises in the head by Dr.
Nicholson’s Artificial Ear Drums,

that deaf people unable to pro
cure the Ear Drums may have
them free. Address No. 1474. The

VICTIM TO TOO MUCH INFLUENCE.
It is not often that a man falls a
victim to too much influence, but
an architect .of Cleveland named
Swinefurth has had this unusual
experience.
Some days ago Senator Hanna
and Congressman Burton, both of
whom live in Cleveland, were asked
by the supervising architect of the
treasury to submit lists of six archi
tects, from whom bids for the new
public building might be invited.
Both complied, and * the name of
Swinefurth headed each list. Later
the supervising architect decidec
that the list must he reduced to a
total of six, three from the senator
and three from the congressman.
Mr. Burton took bis list of six
to revise it. “Surely,” he said to
himself, “Senator Hanna will put in
Swinefurth.” So he left out the
name.
Senator Hanna began to revise
his list. “What’s the use of putting
Swinefurth in?” he asked himself.
“Burton will remember him.”
When the revised lists were sub
mitted, Swinefurth was not on ei
ther. He had fallen down between
two stools.—Washington Post.
