AN OLD DUELING PISTOL.
1t Has Seen 400 Years OF Service and
is Still IA Good Condition.
L.. A. urs.I.- IL. II


Is Still IA Good Condition.
From the Washington Post.
Maj. Moore has among his collection Of
curios a dueling pistol which was brought
to this country from England by one of the
earliest settlers OF Virginia. The weapon
which is flint lock, is fully 400 years old
and is still in good condition, and If capped
with bit of flint and loaded could be fired
The pistol has brass barrel, which un-
screws about an inch from the f1ash-pan.
To load it the barrel is uuscrewed, the pow
der poured in and rammed down The bar
rel Is then replaced and the bullet, about
three times as large as a buckshot is dropped
in. The sight is on the side Of the barrel,
about midway between the trigger and the
muzzle. Instead Of sighting over a point
on the extreme top Of the barrel, "a one
does when handling modern revolver, the
old pistol was held so that the sight was
taken over the kRuckles Of the persons using
il.
The pistol was manufactured in London,
and vas brought TO this country by a man
named Mason, who was related to Lord
Fairfax. IL remained In the Mason family
until 1879, when it YVES given b an old fish
srman by Miss Macon, a granddaughter of
the msn who brought it over from Old Eng
Land The old fisherman gave IL away, and
% finally found It's way into the hands Of

Tie parlOrs Of the hotel had been prettily
decked with flowers for the occasion, and
from o'clock until $50 introductiOns and
social intercourse were the order of the
evening. A string band rendered sweet
music in the corridor while the reception
was in progress.
After an hour and half had been whirled
away In a delightful manner, the guests
were invited to the large dlning-r0om,
where the event OF the eYening-a banquet
was to take place. Covers had been laid
for 200. and every seat was occupied.
The menu was an excellent one, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all the guests. After
the viands had been disposed of address ses
were called for. Bishop Thoburn spoke
upon the subject of Methodist Work in
years Of his life. Bishop Mallalieu then
spoke regarding "Our Work in the Southern

remarks upon sour Work In this City,"
Several OF the returned delegates next made
