A deluded victim writes from

A deluded victim writes from Juticalpa, Honduras, recently, to the editor of the Chicago Tribune as follows: "A few days ago I re- ceived a paper from New York which published an article headed "California's Rival" Well, for hu- manity's sake, beg you to allow me few lines in your most valu- able paper to state what is the new "Eldorado." There is certainly gold in this country, but not in quantities to pay a mans living unless he has a large capital. That is to say, it requires a mine to work a mine. Having been pros pecting in this country for about a year I have not been able to pay my passage back to the States. It is very difficult for prospectors to get provisions, and it is not so healthy as represented. I have not yet met foreigner who has not had fever and ague. All those false reports have been given by men who have claims here and want to sell them. They make a big humbug just to try and replace the money they have invested. Those who intend to buy diggings I advise to come and see the place before they put up their cash. As for those who have not capital, let them stay at home. Four men came here yesterday from New Orleans in search of the new dis covery, but aftsr having learned the truth decided to return ln a day or so. Having myself been enticed here through false reports and having had a lot of hardships, 1 do not wish to see any of my fel- low citizens in my boat. It is for this reason that I wish so much you would publish this statement to prevent any poor men from com ing into a worse country than that in which they are"

KEW AMMUNITION.

A new thing in guns has been invented, Col Henry F. Clark of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., is responsible for it, and he has found some ex- perts in rihe-shooting to share his enthusiasm over device in the way of ammunition which upsets all accepted theories, and prevents just what every one said it would inevitably cause-namely: the fouling of the gun.
 Col. Clark's gun is a military rifle of only forty-salibre. The present weapon used by the Ma tional guard has a calibre of forty five, but Col. Clark has adopted the English standard, which, with the regulation weight of eighty grains of powder, gives, it is alleged, a much greater velocity. The action Is what is known as an under lever. It Is simple in construction and compact, and is so protected by a solid block of metal as to be in lit tie danger of damage from rough usage in active campaigning. A single pivot holds the movement in place. The movement is con trolled by two screws.
 The special feature of Col. Clark's invention, however, is in the ammunition. The cartridge is so constructed as to contain the 80 grains of powder in a brass shell of diameter of 45-100 inches. The ball, weighing 400 grains, IS but 40 calibre, it rests directly on the powder. and about it is a wa terproof patch of paper. The shell is crimped over the apex of the bullet, and between the patch and point a lubricant is held by the crlmped shell. According to all earlier theories, it has been held that a crimped she'll of this sort would tear the paper patch around the ball, and foul the rife cores pondingly, but in recent experi- ments with this ammunition it has been found that this not the case. With Col. Clark's cartridge it is no longer necessary to blow down the barrel of the rife or to clean it.
 Col. Clark sailed for Europe on March 24th to show his gun to the crowned heads of Europe, and also to introduce a new railroad torpe- do of his invention.
 Col. Clark's gun has been tried by Thomas Dolan, at one time the crack shot of the American team at the Creedmoor range. Sergt. Dolan is himself something of an inventor, and he has a device of his own for keeping the barrel of his rifle clean in use. He tried Col. Clark's gun with an Idea of disproving some of the claims made for it and its special ammu- hilton. He was forced to admit, however, that it was good thing T don't think much of the move ment," he said to a Sun reporter; ''it is good gun, but the feature of it is in the ammunition, and if it works as well in hot climate as 1t worked with me one day in March, it is certainly a clever in- vention. I fired twenty or thirty shots with it at Creedmoor without breathing in the gun or cleaning it, and at the 900 yards range, I made thirty bulrs-eyes in thirty fhraa cb0tc N V Sup
