CRAZY GUN OF YoRKToowN
Mysterious Weapon Which
Dazcd the Confederates.

A Mysterious Weapon Which
Dazcd the Confederates.
New York Times.
The booming of the big guns at the
seacoast battery yesterday reminded
Gen. Agnus of story, which, as none
present had heard it, he proceeded to
relate.
''At the siege of Yorktown, in 1861.
we had big gun mounted on parapet,
and manned by detachments under the
Comte de Paris and the Due de Chartres.
The gun was supposed to be terror;
it had been scientifically built, and
great interest was felt III its test.
When the day arrived everybody
was there who could come.
They were Gems. Mcclellan, Sum-
ner, Hooker. Warren and Sprague. Our
French brethren were from the English
artillery school at WoOlwlch, and they
had promised great things for the gun.
The projectile was about three feet long
and looked like section of stovepipe.
Off went the gun and Off went the pro-
jectile. But you never saw such an &C.
centric thing. Instead of going in
handsome curve for the enemy's works,
it turned somersaults as it went. 1t
whirled along like a crazy shot. But 1t
struck the parapet aimed at all right.
1t sustained even then its eccentric con-
duct. 1t fairly walked up that parapet
and over end and disappeared inside.
1t was thing endowed with life. So
it was with every shot fired from that
gun; every shot would tumble.
We could hit the works, but
there was no telling where the
shot would explode. So the gun
was condemned as useless. About that
time we captured stray confederate,
and from him it was learned that the
performance of that gun was subject
of wonder and study inside the York
town intrenchmentS. Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston was said to regard the gun as
wonderful invention and to be study
ing it as closely as he could, for the
havoc wrought by those whirling shots
was something terrible. They would
would walk up the parapet, climb down
the inside, aud then zigzag about the
streets of Yorktown. looking for the
points al which they could explode
and do the most damage. Magazines
were favorite places. 1t was reported
in Yorktown that all the Yankee artil-
lery was to be armed with guns firing
these automatic projectiles. That
.caused a profound sensation, a disin-
clination to continue the defense. And,
as you know, Yorktown surrendered"

complete shutdown, thus causing a
stoppage of a number of small factories
that depended OH them for power.
The discovery of vanadium minerals
in considerable quantities in the prov
ince of Mendoza, Argentine, has been
announced. .Vanadium is a rare metal,
worth 500 an ounce. 1t is sold chiefly
in the form of ammonium vanadate as
dye-stutf. producing in combination
with analine, the most absolute black
known to the dyer.
MIR. Sims, one of the inventors of the
Sins Edison torpedo, has prepared
drawings of a life-boat OH the same
principle as the new famous torpedo.
The propeller is to be placed in the
STERN of the boat. which is to be pro-
vlded with three or four miles of cable
-and'an electric search light The cur
rent for propelling the vessel can be
generated at a shore station three or
four miles from the starting point of the

At Hotel; Sixty-Five Years of
Age, and One of the Earliest Set
tiers in the Red River Valley.
Such is the sad intelligence flashed by
electricity over the country of the sud-
den and unexpected death of FL. Nc
kenzie, of Fargo, N. d., who had been
taking the -- Cure for the Drink
Habit. 1t is the same sad old story of
death while under treatment, and that,
too, surrounded by other than home
comforts. Quite often death is the re-
suit of poisonous medicines rather than
disease. Death has his home in the
today, accounts of which flood the pa
pers. The long story cut short of
Drunkenness cured by institutions
claiming great things might read like
this: "Died in sanitarium or hotel,
away from friends; or, He has returned
home, not cured, a wreck. ment-
tally and physically; doctors call
1t a hopeless case" AtrOpine
aud Strychnine continue to do their
deadly work despite the warning of
| friends. Now, there is nothing more
| certain than this: Drunkenness can be
cured at home. and the patient suffer
no Inconvenience whatever, by REM
edy whose ingredients are known to
the medical fraternity. Fifteen years
ago DR.. Haines discovered a remedy
known as Golden Specific, on the dag
nosis of drunkenness as disease. This
remedy is known the world over as be-
ing positively absolutely harmless and
effective in its results. In it the devil
of drunkenness has found conqueror.
1t is purely home treatment. BY it's
being tasteless it can be put into the
tea, coffee or food of the subject to- be
treated, with or without his consent,
and 1t will work like charm, making
desire for stimulants an absurdity.
"After brief treatment. repugnance
to the taste and Odor of liquor manifests
itself. AS the treatment advances the
aversion increases until the patient has
an utter detestation of anything alco-
holic." One package, which may be Sc

TOO MUCH HAT.

A Granger Finds Out That 1t
Doesn't Do to Trust q Barber.
Chicago Mail.
,e5 An old granger dropped into the
Sherman house barber shop yesterday
afternoon who would have proved a
gold mine If Denman Thompson could
have captured him for his rural drama.
His hair looked as if it had not been cut
since the last Blaine campaign, and
after he had passed through the
hands of barber it is doubtful if his
own family would have recognized him.
He paid his check and the porter
brushed the hayseed from his coat and
handed him his hat. The old man put
on his head-covering and it Immediately
sunk to the level of his ears, practically
snuffing out its wearer like candle.
Here! See here! Tarnation, that
amt my hatp' he cried, throwing it
every bit of indignation in his giant
frame aroused.
BEG pardon. sab: but dat's yo hat,
sab, shores yOi bOhn," said the highly
amused darky.
Don't ye s'pose don't know my own
hat"' snOrted the rural visitor. 1--WE
worn it every day for the last two years.
Guess ouxhter know it purity we'll by
this time.
The porter made no reply, but stood
holding out the hat and laughing at the
old mans earnestness. Suddenly the
latter turned loose" like tornado,
and the language be used would have
made his own cattle flee in terror. The
foreman of the shop hastened forward.
IL don't want any of you fellers ter
think that accuse you of takin' it," ex-
claimed the irate customer. "But I kin
lick the low-down sneak who crept in
here and stole it while l wuz havin' niy
head shingled. And l shall hold this
shop responsible fer it, too. Cost 81 so,
and kin prove it.''
''But, Mr.. Butler. are you quite sure
that" began the foreman, balancing
the hat in his hands.
Butler! How in thunder did you
find out that my names Butler?"
1T is written on your hatband here.
See9 'Abner Butler, Piper City, ILL.,"
The old man hastily snatched up his
hat. jammed it upon his head. and
rushed out into cold and cruel world
again, saying several things which can
not be put into cold type.

BILE.
ST. Nicholas.
How many of my young countrymen
who have read of the "prayer- w heels''
OF Burmah, and the paper prayers of
the Chinese, know. that there is me-
chanical prayer used by thousands Of
people in the United States. The Pu-
eblo "prayer-stick" is quite as curious
device as those of the heather Orient;
and the feather is the chief part of it.
Prowiing in sheltered ravines about
any Pueblo town. the curiosity seeker
will find, stuck in the ground, carefully
whitfield sticks, each with a tuft of
downy feathers generally white) bound
at the top. Each of these sticks is
prayer-and none the less earnest and
sincere because SO misguided. Around
the remote pueblo of Zuni l have
counted over 5000 of these strange in-
vocations in one days ramble, but never
a tithe as many by any other pueblo.
According to the nature of the prayer,
the stick, the feathers, and the manner
of tying them vary. The Indian who
has favor to ask of the Trues prepares
his feather-prayer with great sOiemnity
and secrecy, takes it to proper spot,
prays to all those above, and plants the
prayer-stick that it may continue his
petition after he has gone home.

A Word for the Rustler.

Milwaukee Journal.
The ''rustlers'' are small ranchmen
who have taken up small holdings and
fenced them in, giving their small
herds good water and feed and also pro-
lection from large herds. These people
look ultimately to cultivate the arabic
portions of their ranches, and have in
most instances selected them with this
in view. Thas located, they seek to
become permanent settlers, and conse-
quently the cattle barOns seek to drive
them out. In order to accomplish their
purpose the small ranchmen have been
subjected to series of petty prosecu-
tions. The ''Stock association has
issued lists of ranchmen owning brands
and small herds, with instructions to
foremen not to give them employment
and with a practical promise of 'immu-
nifty from any manner. of injustice to-
ward them. The barons own the state
and make the laws, cOnseQ uently those
who fall under their displeasure are
likely to find the way to wealth and
happiness rather thorny.

Marked With Cigarette Stains

Cheyenne Dispatch.
A sign new to the fraternity and fire.
quenters was posted in all Cheyenne
gambling houses last night. 1t is over
the poker tables, ana reads, Cigarette
Smoking is Barred at This Came" The
emaciated Oregon Dick and two COM
pahion card sharks have been beating
every poker game for three weeks.
Their work was not discovered until
few days ago. All smoked cigarettes
and marked cards with nicotine stain.
After half a dozen hands they could
read the decks by the backs. All the
educated sports in town were fieeced,
and the winnings of the trio are esti-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000.
The stains were found by black en-
plOyed as porter III one of the houses
after the artists had failed to find any.
thing under microscope. When once
known the stains are very plain.
