A Hint to Anarchists.

One form of Mr.. Maxims invention contains
gentle message to Anarchists, or other exc1t-
able and revolutionary mortals, or to workmen
who insist too vigorously for larger share of
the proceeds of their labor than their en-
ployers choose to give them voluntarily. 1t is
called the 'riot gum" and is light little affair
that can be transported in ones arms with
enough ammunition to drive any ordinary mob
out of the streets out of existence. 1t is curl
GUS how all of the most recent inventions in
this line look toward certainty of riotous
mobs Since when did the inventor turn
prophet? Well. this "riot gum can be worked
at the rate OF ten m urderous shots a second,
with the gunner all the time concealed and in
perfect safety, even from a mob armed
with guns or pistols, provided that
same mob does not conclude to make
rush and capture gun and gnn-
ner. 1t seems to be expected by inventors like
Mr.. Maxim that modern mobs will stand in the
streets to be shot down without acting either
on the defensive or the aggressive. and that
they will not stand around safe corners with
boombs, or blow up or burn a city in their
frenzy. However this may be, he has done all he
can n the way of gun for mobs. This little
weapon can carry enough ammunition with it
to clean out a street at one round, and in few
seconds, and it can be operated from walls or
windows with as great facility as in the open
street. With twist of the wrist it can be
turned up or down on the point of its carriage,
and made to kill directly below or above the
gunner without endangering the life or limb of
that deyotee Of the fine art of murder.

Where my feet turned oft to the meadows Of rest.

Where slumbered a laughing-eyed boy;

We nodded the turf that his feet had pressed
And kept his grave green In the meadows of rest.

Who walked by the river wave
To watch the reeds grow or the sweet waters flow,
Or to muse by that little grave.

To the infinite peace of Gods meadows Of rest.

The End Will be Pence.

What must necessarily be the end of this
condition? Why, surely, that there will be no
war at all. When it comes to that no con-
serption or coercion will enable the politicians
to organize an army to do their fighting for
them. No patriotic outcry will call men to
arms when they know there is no earthly chance
for them to escape with their lives. IL Is all
well enough for soldiers to talk of being will
ing to lay down their lives for their country,
but if it were not for the chance OF their
escaping with those same lives mighty few Of
them would be so ready to enlist.
Therefore, the end must be peace, but peace
will come only when nations have discovered
that they no more dare to go to war, and when
the oppressed classes of all codntr1es have Sc
cured absolute justice. This time IS vastly
fastened not only by the invention OF indus
trial Implements. but also by the wonderful in

The struggle for precedence among the
local Republican managers yesterday vas
several degrees hotter than the weather.
While the public will watch the outcome
with interest, and the prominent workers IN
the party ranks regard it with the concern
which always attaches to the query "Under
which King, Bezonian?" it stands out
clearly that the issue for the present is one
of personal leadership almost wholly.
Within political parties, as well as between
them, these rivalries for control are usually
productive. of benefit in one direction.
Where the forces are fairly we'll balanced,
each section is put to consider courses, and
candidates who appeal to the public, which
holds the balance of power.

A RELUCTANT BRIDE.
A Girl of Is, Forced TO Marry a Man of 20,
Quickly Deserts Him.

quickly Deserts Him.
TWEED, GA, May l8.-There is much excite
ment in this section over the marriage of Lewis
Hutchinson, prominent farmer aged 7C
years, and Miss Annie Wilkins, an 18-year-old
belle. Hutchinson was widower with nine
children. ranging in age from to 20 years.
When services were concluded at Shiloh
Church few Sundays ago the pastor, Rev.
Benjamin Fortner, accompanied Mr.. Hutchin-
son home for dinner. On the way home the an
cient widower coolly asked the pastor IL he
could recommend young lady who would
make him suitable wife. Mr. Fortner re.
piled that he could recommend to him Just
such girl as he desired.
Miss Annie Wilkins. the young lady who
figures in the episode, resides in Johnson coun-
ty. on the Ohoopie river, with her father and
stepmother She is described as being of a
well formed blonde. Mr.. Hutchinson went
with his pastor to call on the young lady. and
before his departure he received an assurance
from the parents that Miss Wilkins would be-
come his wife when he came again, In due
time, armed with the license, he appeared with
preacher Fortner at the abode of Miss ANNE.
The groom sat in the parlor waiting patiently
for the bride. Soon guests began assembling.
Hours passed, however, and there were no
signs of the anticipated wedding. The BRIDE
groom and people grew restless
It was finally decided to institute a vigorous
search for the BRIDE The men were formed
into several divisions and instructed to and. if
possible, the whereabouts of the young lady,
In short time her hiding place was discovered.
She sent word back that she would die before
marrying Hutchinson, but, after considerable
persuasion, she reluctantly returned and. while
the tears were coursing down her cheeks, the
ceremony was performed. The day after the
nuptials the bride fed to johnson county, Mr.,
Hutchinson, when apprised of the abrupt run
away, started IN pursuit She reached her
fathers house before he overlook her. The
deserted bridegroom pleaded in vain. Then
the father and stepmother tried to induce their
daughter to return to her spouse, but instead
She says she will never no back to Hutchin-
son.

Thinks Beelzebub !, Amer Him.

Early this morning a man, hatless and coat
less, ran into ferry waiting room near the
battery. He cried out: "Give this to the
press" threw down paper, and minute later
he was in the act of throwing himself into the
river, when an officer seized him. He was
Captain James Chester, OF the Third United
States Artillery, stationed at Governors Island.
The paper which he threw down related how
he had suffered from insomnia and delirium
tremens for the last ten days. He imagined
that Beelzebub and several she-devils were
maltreating him, and he wished to escape them
by death. Captain Chester has been in the
service 35 years. An officer from Governors
Island met him at the Tombs this morning and
took him back to his quarters.

An Expert Persuaded MIR. Yerkes to Grease
the Chicago Gable.
CHICAGO, May l8-The wear and tear on the
Northside cable loop line has been something
fearful from the first, and he frequency with
which new cables have had to be purchased
was cutting considerable of figure in the ex-
pense account of the road. Mr.. Yerkes sent
for the wise man of San Francisco, who is sup
posed to know all about cable roads. He
looked things over and said: "Oh, we can fix
this easily. Your grips wear out the rope. I'll
grease the rope and then the friction will be
reduced"
So Mr.. Yerkes creased the loop line and
since then people have been walking. The
cable is so slippery that when the grip strikes
a place that brings an extra train it fails to
hold to the rope, the car stops and the passen.

While this is the latest and most destructive
of the recent inventions, it by no means follows
that it is the last or the most effective that will
be contrived. 1t gradually dawns on the mind
of one whose attention is called to this matter
that we are but well begun in this thing. We
have been trying to keep pace in the matter Of
defenses with the progress of the means Of
effective attack, but in vain. No vessel can be
constructed to float that will withstand an ex-
plosion of the modern torpedo. No nation is
rich enough to build forts that cannot be de-
stroyed in short time with the latest and most
villainous form of dynamite projectile. Bal
looms can now be steered with almost the same
facility as vessel in the water, and will be ex-
tensively used, in the wars soon to occur. for
the destruction of armies and forts. Death
dealing machinery is being made so simple and
Inexpensive that one man may destroy an
army. If the strong are more fully equipped
to destroy the weak, on the other hand the
weak may easily be made strong enough to de-
stroy the strongest On both sides war will
mean annihilation. The armies of the land.
the monsters of the sea and the war cruisers of
the air will simply wipe each other out OF ex-
istence If they come to blows at all.
