SCHUYLER Colrax as a Hotel Clerk

The Dubuque Herald tells Il good
story about Mr.. ColfaX and Il landlord
at Warren, iowa. Mr.. Colfax was
travelling in Iowa lately, and arrived ut
the latter station at 3a. m,. and had to
wait several hours for a train. AS the
guest decided to remain in the waiting
till daylight, the landlord, not
knowing who Mr.. ColfaX was, and
wanting IN hours rest, asked the eX-
vice president if ne wouldn't wake the
porter ut a certain hour, and also tap
ut the room-Ioors of the female ''help'
and make himself generally useful. Mr.
ColfaX readily assented, and began by
polishing the stove, sweeping the floors
and doing what any other handy and
industrious citizen would have done.
The porter was awakened, the girls
raped up and Il roaring fire greeted
''mine host" who on rising compli-
mented Mr.. ColfaN on his efficiency.
When the train arrived, some one step
ped on to the platform and salutcd Mr..
Colfax with, "God bless you, Schuyler
ColfaX; what in the world are you do
ing here?" The landlord was amazed,
and was just able to ask: care you
Schuyler ColfaX?" And when the inn
keeper left, you could have played
marbles on his coat-tails."

it is only necessary to aim it once, If
the object does not change. In the
second place it can neither he damaged
dismounted by the enemy. The
artillerymen who serve it are sheltered
in n sort of sentry box formed by iron
plates of about twenty inches in thick
ness. This sentry box contains the gun
| and the gunners. The roof and exter-
| ior sides are protected by earth, while
| the front is pierced by Il hole for the
passage of the mouth of the gun. The
| enemy can see nothing but this hole.
The experiment was so decisive that
| almost all the officers wanted to go into
the sentry box while two enormous
siege guns showered shot upon them at
short range. This invention may bring
| about a revolution in the art of defend
ing stronghoids.
1t is known that the Emperor, while
at the military maneuvrcs at Essen,
visited the factory of the Messrs.
Krupp, and this affair recalls the origin

the first chief of the factory came to
Essen, the village had only 5000 inhab-
itants. To-day it has 10000. krupp
commenced in 1910 with ten workmen,
and in 1S43 he had one hundred. 1t
was his son, Albert Krupp, that gave
the establishment the prodigious devel-
opment to which it has reached to-day.
1t was from England that he brought
his method for making steel, and lie
has wonderfully improved upon it by
combining it with the Bessemer pro-
cess. In 1868 he had 1000 hands en-
ployed, and he has 1900 at present.
The buildings of the factory cover n
space of two hundred acres, and are
surmounted by one hundred chimneys.
A workingmen's city, with three thous-
and houses, gives to the hands apart
ments which are rented at from forty
to eighty dollars per year. An associa-
tion for providing food, with twenty
two salesrooms, furnishes the inhabi-
tants, at reduced prices, with all that
they desire. a single bakery makes
400, 0 pounds of bread in u month.
There is in this factory of Essen Alb
steam engines, representing a total of
II, 900 horses, and se~venty-seven steam
hammers for striking iron, among
which figures the famous hammer called
Fritz" and which weighs 1000
pounds. There are thirty miles of rail
way communicating with the different
parts of the mauufactory, us well rs
forty miles of %telegraphic lines. The
establishment can manufacture i'll

comotive wheels, 1870 wagon wheels,
and / 800 shells; and in II month, 80
field pieces, and fifty four others of
larger calibre.

KRUPPS' GREAT GUN FACTORY.
Its Progress from Ten Men Employed in
1910 10 Nine Thousand In 1877.

An International congress of a rare
character assembled Il short time ago
at Bredelar, in Rhenish Prussia. Mr..
krupp, the greatest gunmaker of the
entire world, and director of the cele-
brated foundry at Essen, invited rep
resentatives of all nationalities-Rus-
sian, English, Austrian, Belgian.
Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Brazilian.
and even Japanese-to witness the ex-
periments of a new piece of artillery,
the plated cannon, or, as it is called in
Germany, the ''panzer cannon" The
number of officers present at these in
teresting experiments was ffty-ive.
The object was to solve two problems
considered extremely difficult, and
which have hitherto defied the ingenu-
ity of inventorAs First, a permanent
pointing in aim; secondly, the protec-
ton of the piece. Now, this new
Krupp gun has no recoil, and therefore

TnE Montpelier Journal having intimatod
that there was something undignifed and
uncalled for in Mr.. Morrill's presence at
Montpelier, for several days during the
Senatorial canvass, it may be well enough to
say, that while no one of our Senators or
public men needs to make any apology for
appearing at Montpelier, during the session
of the Legislature, in this case it happened
that Mr.. Morrill, did not 90 there till repeat
edly and urgently requ, sted so to do by
many of his friends. His opponents were
stoutly claiming that Senator Morrill, was
superannuated-too old and feeble for ser
vice-that nothing was left Of him but
tradition. The best answer To this was the
presence of the Senator himself. It
was altogether proper that he should
allow the members to judge for them
selves on 50 important point. He
went accordingly to the Capital. The
members looked in vain for any signs Of de-
crepitude in his tall figure, quick step, fine
countenance with the wholesome hue of
health, and hair not yet white. though
streaked with gray. They pretty generally
declared that. though really thres or four
years older than his competitor, he looked
ten years younger, and was, to all human
foresight, good for ten years more of public
service Senator Morrill, asked no man for
support. He did not, and did not need to,
argue questions Of his own or his would-he
rivals fitness or unEtuess. lie conducted
himself. it is not necessary to say, with per-
feet dignity and propriety and while the
result would not have been materially differ
ent had he not gone near Montpelier, there
is no question that the presence of both Of
the candidates cjnduced to the substantial
unanimitY of Senator Morrill's reelection.
