The BOstOn'S Big Gun,

Naval officers are delighted with the
Boston. This gun is a bowler, and
can throw large projectile nine
miles as easy as winking. The charge
for this gun is l25 pounds of powder,
and the government orders it to be
fired for practice five times every three
months. No jewelry in a woman's
casket is kept more beautifully bright
than this gun. 1t is cleaned so care
fully that not a speck would be left on
lace handkerchief if passed through
it from breech to muzzle, says tie
New York Sun, and nothing less than
the purest glycerine is used in the
automatic cleaning process. 1t is
screwed not only through the gun deck,
but through the orlop deck as we'll,
for one discharge from its mighty
Jaws would tear single deck all to
pieces. 1t has "a engine of its own
down in the bowels of the ship to turn
it on its pivot. 1t stands to-day as
the equal, if not the superior, of any
piece of naval ordnance in the world.
There are other rifed guns on the
Boston that have range of six miles,
three miles and a half, and three miles,
and some little guns worked like an
old-fashioned coffee-mill that can
make things hot at mile and half.
But when the eight-inch rifled gun be-
gins to shoot she does not need to
shoot very often, rs she can make a
big hole in 16-inch armor plating
nine miles away, aud the armor-plat-
ing would probably roll up itself if the
gun got any closer.

The railroads leading fro'nSt. Paul
to Duluth have made several cuts
in rates, much to the annoyance Of
the Chicago roads. The proximity Of
Duluth to the Northwest makes il
certain that the time is near at hand
when Chicago will no longer be able
to dictate the shipping price of all
commodities to and from this section
This territory is not Chicago's.

Of men who have been promoted to

have been chosen to responsible and
important positions, positions in
which a large army of railway EN-
ployes are vitality interested, whose
only recommendations have been their
relationship or close friendship to the
controlling stakeholder or stockhold-

weight as rule. But Mr.. Mellen

the kindest wishes for his future sue

Tho Prosperous Flannel Shirt.

The flannel shirt has come to stay /,
& This season has settled that fact be-
You'd question. Never before has there
been 80 many goods sold by the manu-
EfActurer to the retailev; never before
has the retailer sold outso thoroughly;
never before has the public bought
fiannels so readily, SO expensively, Or
used them for such variety of pur-
poses. Their comfort, convenience,
and fitness as hot-weather garments
has become so fairly fixed that to ques-
ton it is idle.
A year ago manufacturers went into
tlaunels with good deal of confidence
ON their own behalf, but there was a
good deal of quietquestioning whether
or not the retailers would be able to
.'clear upn all their purchases. Some
thought they would not, that the de-
mand for flannel shirts was temper
ary thing, and thatretailers would suf-
fer. There is no such belief this year,
and manufacturers are making pur-
chases of f1annels for next season
which indicate an entire freedom from
timidity. j.
The apparently high cost of flannel
shirts, as it appears to the consumer,
is easily explained away. 1t does
seem somewhat expensive to the man
who pays the bill; to pay from s. to
q, for a shirt which bad washing
causes to shrink out of use in one sea-
son.
"Well." says the dealer, "you actual
ly save money on your flannel shirts.
Suppose you do pay twice as much for
flannel as for white shirt, and thai
the former lasts only half as long. TO
begin with, you only require one-third
as many fannels as white, so that your
investment is not as much, even if you
wear the t1annels only one season, and
during that season you will save about
so cents week on your laundry bill,
so that you will actually make money.
But there is no reason why your fan.
mel shirts need last only one season. 1t
is only question of washing them
properly, and they will last as long as
you want to wear them"
This feature of washing so as not to
shrink lannels is an important one.
Some laundries have learned how to
do it, and guarantee not to shrink fan
nels. To aid in making the knowledge
general, some manufacturers have
printed instructions accompanying each
garment; and those who do not send
out such instructions should do it.

The Democratic papers that are

narrow partisan basis. At present
Republican papers are not allowed to

printing of settlers notices was neve,

The following is taken from q let,
ter in last weeks Mortified News,
from that papers special Washington
correspondent: ,
Republican politicians here are
taking much interest in the fight over
the appointment OF district attorney
for Minnesota. Senator Washburn
> on the field, and although he has
been quite i'll, he has done everything
III his power to secure the place for
his friend, Eugene Hay. Steenerson's
friends are not asleep and his claims
have been strongly presented to the
president. The contest is virtually
one for supremacy between the two
Minnesota senators, and is much de-
plored by prominent Republicans
here who desire harmony in the party.
Hay is known to be personally very
intimate with President Harrison, but
the fact that all the prominent Min
nesota appointments save one have
been given to Minneapolis will, it is
thought, have some effect in deterring
him from making an appointment
which W ould otherwise be very salts
factory to him on personal grounds.
A prominent Minnesotian who was
recently in the city said to your cor
respondent that the only proper
solution Of the difficulty, in view OF
all the facts, was for Davis and Wash
burn to agree on some third man for
the place. '"The President made the
rule early in his administration" he
said, never to act as referee in
quarrels over the patronage in any
State, and he will adhere tc this
decision. There are plenty of good
men in the State who would be
acceptable to the Republicans of
Minnesota, without dividing the party
by factional quarrels in the endeavor
to pay off personal debts" Wash
burn is regarded here as q man very
active in securing places for his friends,
but much amusement has been caused
by his efforts to pose as a statesman
ofweight in the recent oratorical
utterances of his which have been so
widely published and with which your
readers are familiar"
