Fooled With Flying Horses.

from the flttsDurS DISPATCH
Until few days ago merry-so-round made
dismal vacant lot on 9Th avenue very para
disc to the young folks of Soho. The man
| who owned the whirligig made lots of money
while he tarried there. gentleman who lives
near by calculated that no less than $50 were
exchanged for rides on the merry -go-round
every day that was fine.
Still the owner OF the flying horses did not
have things all his own way. Now and then
q gang of toughs would descend upon him and
insist upon running things to suit themselves.
After one or two such visitatons the Snowman
determined to give the toughs n surprise party
the next time they came. A day or two after
ward dozen hard Characters ranging from
twelve to sixteen years. appeared upon the
scene. and young fellow with closely cropped
hair, a black eye and square chin stepped up
to the Snowman and said: Say, mister, we Sc
goin' to ride on dis yer machine an we amt
goin' to pay-seeT'
To the surprise and even disappointment of
the young sluggers, their victim smiled pleas
antiy and said: 'All right-get on"
SO the short-halred citizens mounted the fly
ing horses and the Snowman started the
machine. Around went the toughs in great
glee. The machine went a little faster and the
riders howled for joy. Again the speed in
creased and the howis grew fainter and further
apart. The Snowman turned ON ali the steam
and the merry So-round whirled like hum
ming top at its first gait The boys were shout
ing no longer. Silence would have reigned
but for the rattle and creaking of the machine
For two or three minutes the big wheel re-
volved with tremendous rapidly.
Then. like ripe apples, the young touShs
with pale, scared faces. began to hustle through
the air. They struck the ground anything but
softly, but they usually got up quickly and
staggered away. If they fingered the Snowman
helped them along with a base ball bat. When
tine machine stopped only two despcradoes,
looking deathly sick. still chung to the hobby
horses. They looked miserable that the
Snowman allowed them to climb down and
stink away without any assistance from his club.
He was never bothered with the noble COM
rades of the owl gang again.

MONSTER CANNON.
A Description of a Few Of Europc's Big
Guns.

From the Memphis Avalanche.
The recent completion of 1S5-ton gun al
Essen for the Russians and its shipment from
Hamburg to Cronstadt, says the New York san,
| after successful test at the Meppen range,
has marked another stage in the making OF
monster ordnance. The largest Krupp gnn
previously made was one of about 119 tons,
throwing proiectiles of 2,314 pounds. Italy has
two of these mounted in shore battery and il
is for coast defense also that Russia intends to
use the new gun obtained from krupp. 1t has
been said that the next step in advance under
taken by the Essen works will be the making of
15O-ton gun. which will throw a projectile
weighing 5000 pounds.
Hardly less interesting than these calibers
are the more familiar 110-ton guns of the Els
wick works, inasmuch as they are used for the
batteries OF British ships. as, for example, on
the Benbow.- This gun is forty-fOur feet long,
or about two feet less than the 119-ton krupp,
and Its callber is sixteen and half inches.
The diameter of the powder chamber is twenty
one inches and the maximum charge is $50
pounds, to be used with projectile weighing
1,SO0 pounds With the exit eme powder charge
muzzle energy of 81, 700-foot tons is expected
These figures show great change from thirty
years ago. when the largest cannon mounted
on war vessel threw shot weighing only
sixty-eight pounds and possessing an energy Of
only 1,l00-foot TONS
Still there are not lacking complaints against
the 1lO-ton guns. Those which have been built
for the Victoria and Sanspareil are said to have
developed serious defects, two out of the four
already delivered having failed on the test
and one seriously collapsed. gun of this
size costs over 100000, so that the loss is
serious in case of failure. Yet this is a matter
that may not concern the government where
private works, like those of Elswick and Essen,
supply the guns. The makers have to stand
the loss if the gun does not come up to the
contract requirements. There is apt to be
much exaggeration in the reports of the short
comings OF heavy guns. Krupp has made four
1l9-ton guns for Italy, and the Elswick works
have made many 110-ton guns for the Duillio,
Dandalo. Italia and Lepanto, besides the l05-ton
guns for the Andrea Dosia, the Francisco
LAURA and the Morosini. The French have
also many heavy guns, although none of quite
as great weight as the Krupps and Armstrong;.

The wraps are equally striking. Ono
which is acknowledging is OF Eitfel red

Over the tight front is a flap finished

trimmed with shaded green plumes. 4
much richer garniture is princess

This is to be church wedding. Many
pretty toilets were seen at house
wedding yesterday. There were three
bridesmaids, and these wore simple
figured silk with pointed bodice belts

Hoard of Health.

The youngest of the Madden chill
dren died Wednesday morning of diph-
liberia. The other case in the same
family is improving, and hopes are
entertained of her ultimate recovery.
The Board of Health last Wednesday
held a meeting to consider the con-
dition of the family, and approved the
acts of Health Officer Trainor in con-
nection with the case.
On Sunday last a nurse answered the
advertisement in the SUNDAY FREE
TRADER, and has been there all week
rendering material aid to the health
officer and the afflicted family. The
statement made by the ''evening ire
sponsible" that after the death of the
child yesterday a woman from the
house rushed down with the news to
the health officer is denied by that
officer, by whose order the house has
been thoroughly quarantined, so that
no one has passed In or out of the
house without his knowledge; and
every possible precaution has been
taken; and thus far, to all appearances,
with entire success.
The case apparently comes from
Marseilles, the Oldest child having
visited in that village when there was
diphtheria there, just before being
taken sick herself. Probably as an
aggravation OF the disease in this case,
ii must be said that there are no
artesian wells In the neighborhood.

tan-colored silk with narrow vest OF
warm brown velvet. On each side oil
this was band of cream-colored silk,
brocaded with big ragged chrysanthe.

The bodice was pointed and had high

bordered like the vest by chrysanthe.

The rooms were full and there was
much pressing and pushing forward to
see the bride. Somehow parlor man.
ners are not good always. The age OF
steam is not favorable to anything that
is polished or leisurely. Somebody
says that Stevenson could not have
dreamed that his invention would affect
the manners and customs of walters,
but certainly he would be more sur
prised to know that it has not been
without it's influence on the way in
which people drink tea
An unusual dress that was not unbe.
coming was of scarlet silk with black
MORE sash and large jet combs in the
hair.
There have been good many pretty
ttds, SOHSlleTlHg uoW early ~ 10 III wv
season. Miss Nellie Hewitt filled the
cups at one recently, sitting table
which was draped in pale yellow silk
embroidered with white sphinx beads.
The candles were yellow and had yell
low shades decked with yellow chrys-
anthemums.
Now that the opera season is fairly
under way the two circles of boxes are
gemmed with beautiful women resplen-
dent with color and flashing with innu-
merable jewels. Miss Morosini wore q
delicate pink toilet last Wednesday
evening which was exceedingly effect
i've. A beautiful woman in the next
box wore pale-green satin with tablier
Of silver thread over which were scat
tered stars of pearls. A very graceful
young married woman was in white
crepe de Chine with a design of white
roses. The biggest diamonds shone on
the neck of a handsome woman in
black jetted lace gown which made
striking background. Magnificent stones
are common enough in the boxes, but
the blaze of these cast all others in the
shade.
There were many dressy toilets at
the Kendals' performances last week in
Brooklyn. A middle-aged lady wore
violet velvet, made in princess shape
and trimmed with narrow border of
fur. A young girl who appeared to be
with her wore pretty costume Of
blush gray material and huzzar blue
velvet made with shirred corsage and
velvet yoke. ELLEN OSBORN.

The Brush Light-El ectrlc Notes.


The Brush electric lighting ma.
chine, owned by the original pro-
moters of electric light in Ottawa,
has been reSurrected from innocuOus
desuetude by its owners.
A contract has been entered into
with the Thomas Electric Light Com
pany for power and supervision, and
the old machine, thoroughly reno
waited and repaired, will be running in
"A few days, supplying light to Fiske &
BEEN, Lutz & Briggs, and others.
The owner of the Armory block has
notified his tenants to remove all
electric light wires by the first of jan
uary. 1t is understood that they
will not comply with the demand,
maintaining that it is not specified in
the lease what light shall be used.
The matter may end in a law court.
Several incandescent lights have
been placed in the office of the electric
street railway. They are run by
CREASED lightning from the Street-car
line.
Since the putting in of the new
water-wheel at the electric-light
house Superintendent Moody has had
a monkey and parrot time in keeping
the long shaft oiled. He and his as
sistants have been forced to crawl
over one hundred feet on their hands
and knees to keep the ''pesky thing
oiled.
The Heisler light behaves splendid
ly, now that Mr.. Ballard gives the
plant his personal supervision. In
deed, the light gives good satisfaction
in all parts of the city.

The English ROYAL Succession.

hear that the Duke of Edinburgh has
worried the queen considerably about
the question of the succession to the
throne in the event Of Prince Albert Vic
tor and Prince George dying without
issue. The duke of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha
and the Empress Frederick are under
stood to be strongly of opinion that, in
order to prevent any possibility of dis
putes and troubles in the future, there
ought to be formal understanding on
the subject. 1t is undoubtedly desirable
that such questions should be properly
and publicly settled in good time, and,
human life being uncertain, the antici-
pated situation might arrive any day.
Lord Salisbury has been much to blame
for letting the matter slide in order to
avoid threatened disputes, as formal
announcement ought certainly to have
been made to parliament before the mar
riage took place.-London Truth.
