by the news that Frank Hancock, lumber
man, living at Blue Run, near the Tloga and
Potter County line, had murdered four of
his children and committed suicide by hang

made known by Hancock'S wife, who was alb

Her story was that she had gone home and
found the four children lying dead, some in
the house and some in the yard They had
been stabbed and frightfully muilated with
big butcher knife. The Oldest child was
IL years old. A fifth child, a babe, was
asleep and uninjured in a pool of bleed at

alarmed at the threats that her husband
had made against her because of her per-

two men she resolved with their aid to put
Hancock out of the way. The plan was to

HIGH EXPLOSIVES IN GUNS.
Exhaustive Experiments in Their Use to
b e Undertaken by ARMY Experts

Exhaustive Experiments in Their Use to
Be Undertaken by Army Experts.
While pneumatic dynamite guns have
been ordered to aid in the defense OF the
harbors Of New York, Boston and San Fran
cisco, the ordnance authorities of the army
are by no means disposed to limit their use
OF the high explosives to the capabilities of
the Mefford-Zallnski invention. At best its
range is SO short as greatly to circumscribe
Its practical value, while its method of
mounting gives none of the advantage of the
horizontal she'll firing, and puts it rather in
the class Of aerial torpedoes or mortars.
Accordingly the Ordnance and Fertilization
Board has been for some time considering
the best manner of firing high explosives
from powder guns, aud has at last ordered
nearly hundred finch steel shells for this
purpose, The well-knOwn Mdvale Com
pany VIII manufacture them, and they will
be loaded with various high explosives in
such proportions as may deemed advisable
The old Finch guns to be used for this pur-
pose, even If they perish in the course of the
experiments, will be no great loss, and yet,
although superseded by modern high-power
guns, they Will be as suitable for the pro-
posed tests.
In this country many efforts have been
made to use high explosives in large quaint
ties for the bursting charge of shells to be
fired with ordinary powder as tile propelling
force. In such cases the aim has often been
TO check the violence with which the pow
der acts on the projectile, so that the latter
may not burst before leaving the gun. For
this purpose various shells have been in
vented. But while most of them have sue
ceeded In using fraction of pound, or in
some cases few pounds, OF the high ex-
plosives. occupying small part CT a very
large projectile, yet they have come to grief
In the attempt to employ even a moderate
proportion of the high explosive. The fail
ure OF DR.. Jussin's attempt was one of the
latest of these mishaps, while Lieutenant
Graydon, formerly of the navy, after some
promising experiments at Sandy Hook, un-
eXpectedly went over to the opposite party.
and manufactured in England dynamite
thTower on the pneumatic principle
nevertheless, some of our ordnance ex-
perts still look to seeing the high explosives
safely thrown in large quantities from pow
der guns; and it Is said that DR.. Justin will
also resume his experiments in the same
direction: The substantial ground for be-
leving that these efforts will be successful
Is That IN several countries of Europe what
our authorities are aiming at has already
been accomplished. Labor and Ingenuity
have not there been directed as here to find
propelling force that will not prematurely
explode the shell, or method of construct
Ing. the Shell so as to cushion the shot, but
rather to procuring high explosive that
cannot be exploded in the act of firing. 1t

Not Exactly Swell, But Brand New, Nice

An Illinois Representative in Washington
the other day vas seen swelling along
Pennsylvania avenue. Washington, in
what was evidently new suit of clothes
In response to a ocular comment upon his
carriage and apparel. he grinned and said:
How much do you suppose l paid for this
suit? One dollar and thirty-fve cents was
the price. | got it for n trife less, because
we Statesmen have right to expect a re-
duction. The dealer told me that when he
let me have the trousers for 80 cents he
wasn't making decent profit on them. Fifty
nve cents was the regular retail price, and
the coat was IS cents. l didn't get any
reduction on that Vest? Oh, didn't get
one 1t was 80 cents more, and l don't set
up for swell, at this season anyway But
you can see for yourself that the suit is a
very reasonable one, such as man might
wear in fall or spring and not be ashamed of
his costume. It's none Of these cheap
himsy summer garments, but good suit of
clothes for the season. Maybe it isn't wool,
9 9l 1t looks ike it. No. It isn't wood-pulp.
There's wear in it. too. The man who sold
me the suit said that if it wore out in three
months he'd give me another.
What want to say is how much ex-
cuse Is there for anybody's being shabby
when good suit of clothes can he bought
for 81 So? Where's the mystery in the manu-
facture? Machinery does it all. 1t might
almost be said that human hands don't
touch these garments from tho raw material
to the finished product The cloth is cut out
in patterns, thousand at a time with
knives; the buttonholeS are ali made by ma
chinery and the buttons themselves are
stamped upon the cloth, instead of being
sewed. 1t is like the pig that is put into one
end of a piece of mechanism, with its throat
cut and comes out at the other in the shape
of a sausage and toothbrushes.
Furthermore-and mark me when saw
1.-THE people who made this suit of clothes
wear got more for their labor than any
wOrkmen before them ever received for the
same sort of toll. The cry against machin-
cry, alleging that it robs the laborer With
hands, has been going on ever since the in
ventiOn OF the printing press. 1t began long
before that But the fact is that working
men and workingN omen get twice the
wages they did thirty years ago. Even OF
the sewing woman this is true, and the
Song of the Shirt ought to be sung an oc-
taye higher than a generation back. Talk
OF prices before the war Why, for every
thing that is bought, save few staple COM
niodlties, prices are one-half what they were
then. So let us appreciate the advantages
OF mechanical civilization and enjoy the
privilege Of wearing clothes at 81 IS suit.
This is the age when even the tatterdemal-
ions at the street corners can afford to be
well dressed If they chose. 1t is only for
want OF ambition nowadays that every beg
gar Is not swell. Star Sa wings.
