found, after much energetic toll in sew

Although man of fine presence, good
manners, Industrious habits and per
sonal honesty, this gentleman was un-
able to win success. He tried venture

each case at the outset, but failure came
with disheartening promptneSs- His
peculiar name on a business card or ap-
penCed to a letter never seemed to have
any weight in business circles After
great many vicissitudes he reluctantly
came to the conclusion that it was his
name which brought him bad luck.
he resolved to try the effect OF q
change, and with the permission Of the
legislature he simply reversed his
name. For the sake Of illustration,
supposing it was Abel Smith, he OBJ
tanned the legal right to change it to

was magical. The hitherto Elusive sue

A Novel Way of Protecting Vessels from
Cannon shots.
The Danish government, which is ac-
tive in perfecting it's small but power
full fleet, has given practical demon
stration of the value of cellulose as a
defense against the entrance of water,
following the piercing of a ship Of war
by projectile. The vessel upon which
the experiment was tried was the Hec-
La, the latest addition to the fleet.
While at anchor another cruiser, the
Absalom, took position about forty five
yards from the Hecla, which is pro-
tected with an inside lining of cellulose
three feet thick. The Absalom dis
charged projectile from fve-inch
gun, which pierced the Hecla at point
near the bow and at the water line. The
latter Immediately got under way and
cruised about for three hours, the water
I'm the meantime flowing freely above
the holes caused by the shot. The cell
1ulOse, which dilated upon contact with
the water, gave results apparently ef-
Recent, inasmuch as the compartment
which had been pierced at the conclu-
sion OF the three hours cruise contained
hut triAing quantity of water.

NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE.
1t Gives Rise TO a proposed New
Law.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The most inter
esting topic of national concern is that
one of the probabilities on the senate pro-
gram this week is connected with the
New Orleans Italian incident. 1t is in
the form of bill reported from the com
mittec on foreign relations, and its aim
to carry out the recommendation in
the presidents last annual message, in
spired by the parish prison massacre in
New Orleans. 1t provides that iurisdic-
tion shall be given to the federal courts
over crimes committed in any state
against subjects of powers with which
the United States has treaty relation.
The principal difficulty that confronted
the United States in its dealings with the
Italian Government over the New Or
leans incident was that the men con-
ccrned i'll the killing OF the Italians could
not be tried in the United States courts,
but only in the courts of the state of
Louisiana. The Italian Government bit
tcrly complained that this Government
was violating its treaty agreement i'll
not taking into its own hands the pun
ishment of the culpable persons.
Secretary Blaine explained to Italy
