mounted SO as to be fired from any angle from
so degrees below to so degrees above the hori-

carrying percussion fuse, and the meinite

is steel plated, contains 90 pounds of melinite
and when loaded weighs about $50 pounds.

Christian Scientist who is not Going
to Die-Perhaps

From the Ne1U FORK Tribune.
Mrs. Mabel MacCoy, head of the Hop
kins School Of christian Science in New
York city, is charming woman, intel
lectually and physically A large num-
Der of young women are studying
Christian science under Mrs. MacCoy.
She begins by teaching them that every
person is three persons-John as he is,
John as he thinks he is, and John as
other people see him. Being asked by
the writer If she expected to go to Heaven
when she died she declared she was not
going to die, adding; "Go to Heaven
Where is Heaven, prayp' When in
formed of the common belief that it
was somewhere overhead, she smiled
angelically, and placing her dimplcd
hands over the spot where her heart beat,
murmured: Heaven is here"
Where am going when | dio?" was
the next inquiry.
Where are you now2' she said
"Humph! Why--er-why, / am here
just at this moment
"WhereY | don't see you"
This was stunning. She looked
through the inquisitor as tailor looks
through the eye of needle, and many
seconds passed before he understood
that he was searching for his other
manifestations. He asked one more
question and departed.
Madam, are you in Heaven now"
81 am Just at the threshold. The door
is open the least little bit, and can get
a tiny glimpse of the great beyond"

A pieco of Money I'm His Lee.

james Mcneil of Cambridge, Mass, carries
in his leg piece of money which has had q
strange history. When an elght-year old boy
in Prince Edwards Island Mcneil swallowed
the coin while running. Seven years ago he
noticed what seemed to be ruptured vein in
his leg in about the spot where the coin now
rests, aud In year or two was able to feel q
little hard, round bunch. It now lies under
not more than quarter of an inch Of flesh and
skin, does not trouble its owner In the least,
and can only be found by pulling up the flesh.
Four or five physicians have examined the
projection and declare that 1t is a silver coin
beyond all doubt Mcneil has been offered
500 by a doctor to allow him to cut the coin

The Spirit of captain Kidd.

A 'ghost" in the old Rock Hill estate at
Medford Mass, is the subject for gossip in
that vicinity. 1t is said to be the spirit of
Captain Kidd, aud the belief is founded on an
old tradition connected with the estate. 1t
was one of the numerous places where the
tabled treasure was hidden. Another theory
is that the midnight visitor is the spirit of a
New Hampshire farmer who was robbed and
murdered there. The majority of people,
however have no story at all, and will believe
in none. The visitor has the usual character
istics of ghost and has disturbed all the in
habitants In the vicinity.

Results in Cotton Planting.

A farmer in Wilson County, Texas, reports
some rather remarkable results of experiments
in cotton planting. His purpose was to ascer-
tain the result Of planting In rows of different
widths. Most Of the cotton was planted In the
usual width, but five acres were planted with
the rows eight feet apart, and lie reports that
the cotton In this field did not cease growing
the entire year, and made twice as much to
the acre as that planted the usual width.

And the good work goes steadily on.
A week ago we had fire at our store,
and after having fixed up insurance mat
tiers with the underwriters we adver-
tised the sale of every garment in our
establishment at one-half O-2) price.
To-day this sale is the talk of the town,
far and near the sensation of the hour.
The reason is apparent. People are
awake to the fact that dollars saved are
dollars made. Just think of buying $50
overcoats of Hamburger's own reliable
make for S 10, $25 suits for S 1850 and
so on. Eery garment at positively half
price. Our mems overcoats are all cut
from the finest fabrics and trimmed in
the most elaborate manner. Every gar
ment made by a first-class journeyman
tailor and perfect fitting. Storm over
coats are going like hot cakes at half
original price. Cape coats cut in two.
Sack and cutaWay frock suits as good
as can be made to order, all at half price.
Our guarantee: To return money to
any purchaser who is dissatisfied with
his bargain holds good. Owing to the
rush Saturday we we're compelled to
lock our doors several times during the
day, so we would advise all who can
come during the morning to do so and
avoid the afternoon rush.
