"a Gan That becomes Automatic Aftor
the First Shot.
One of the most remarkable rifles ever
Invented is the Pitcher magazine rifle
recently tested at Fort Sheridan. This
gun, says the Chicago Graphic, becomes
automatic after tho firing OF the first
cartridge, the gas caused by the COM
bustion escaping into gas chamber
and acting on n piston set against a
spiral spring, tho recoil of which sets
the mechanism of the gun in motion.
The empty cartridge is removed by this
mechanism and the gun is also cooked.
This is done SO rapidly that by pressing
against the trigger the nine cartridges
requiredto fill the magazine arc dis
charged in two seconds.
In the first illustration is shown the
workings of the rifle, the result being
obtained by the application to Il barrel
and lock mechanism of Il cylinder in

The firm OF Orr a. Mullen is a compare

no dealers in the city enjoy the confidence
of their customers any more than the
young men who compose the firm above
mentioned. The firm name was formerly
Grant & Mullen. They started in busi-

ago and Mr.. Orr was taken in partnership
by Mr.. Mullen. These young men have
built up a very substantial business and
now rank among the foremost in their
line in the city. Their place OF business
is known as the "White Front Shoe Store,'
on account OF the handsome white and
gold paint with which it is decorated.
Those who call once are sure to come
again as a full line of the finest quality
and latest styles in ladies', gents, misses ,
youths and children's boots, shoes, slip

An Ella abOrate Dry Goods and Notions Em

Everybody in the city, State and the
greater part OF Massachusetts, knows
where the New Idea Store is located, for
they have traded there and will do so
again, for the simple reason that at no
other place are such bargains offered. The
store is on Main street, at the foot of Park
Place, and occupies the whole of the
Weeden building.
Messrs. Shartenberg and Robinson are
the proprietors, and no firm in this city
can boast OF such an enormous trade as
the New Idea Store, although the rival
firms may be much Older. Beginning on
a small scale in Main street square, by
close attention to business and giving
every customer their moneys worth they
now have as fine - store and as large
business as any firm in New England.
They deal in dry goods OF every descrip-
tion, ribbons, iaces, millinery, cloaks,
hosiery, underwear, carpets, draperies,
boots, shoes, ribbons and crockery and
glassware OF the finest quality. The diff
ferent kind OF goods crowd their depart
ment and an elevator carries shoppers
from one floor to another. A small army
OF clerks are employed, and are always
found at their posts and ready to show
goods.

Landlord Donath Has the Finest Hotel In

There is no question but that the Bene-
dict House is the leading hotel in the city.
And no wonder with such a man as Mr..
Donath at tue head it. A hotel business
is one that is hard to run and suit its pa
irons, but Mr.. Donath has succeeded in
doing both to great degree OF success.
1t was about Is years ago when he pur-
chased the place and 1t was not long be
fore he had changed the business from
one that was dwindling down to a pro-
nounced success, and his wealth and
good name, which he has today are due
to his pluck, honesty and square dealing.
He has recently erected new hotel in
Providence and his success there bids fair
to be as great as 1t has been in this C ty.
He divides his time between the two
cities and all in all is a busy, though al
ways happy and courteous man.
He is perfectly safe in leaving his busi-
ness hers for any length OF time, for his
right hand man is Henry Krshl, who has
been at the house nine years and is popu-
lar with all. The night clerk, Lion"
Gardner, is one OF the best known men in
the bus mess and was the first night clerk
the house ever had.
