as daylight was breaking, too early TO at
tract much attention, but from 9 o'clock
till late hour in the afternoon the P0trero
cars did land Office business in conveying
the curious to and from the temporary rest
ing place Of Uncle Sans latest addition to
his naval armament.
Interest in the great gun attaches from
the fact that it is the first piece of ordnance
Of its Kind turned out by the Government,
In length 1t measures AL inches, it has a
length of bore of 30 calbers, twist In
calibers at breech 1870, twist at muzZle so,
number Of grooves 4S, depth of groves u
inch, length Of powder chamber 65.8 inches,
diameter Of powder chamber 145 inches,
weight OF powder charge 425 pounds, pro-
jectle $50 pounds, muZZle velocity 200 feet
per second, total energy %, 990-fOOt tons.
1t is composed of a steel tube of the
dimensions given. A jacket is skrunk on the
bTeech, and 1t Is hoped 10 the muZZle. The
jacket itself Is also hoped with three sub
stanLia bands provided on each side with
loops. 1t Will be mounted by means Of
these loops on a saddle which will enable it
10 make a complete circuit Of the turret ia
which it will be placed.
The layman will be able to form some
idea OF the power Of this gun when he
learns that with the service charge
named above. and with an elevation Of go
at the muZZ!e, the proiectile will be
thrown about twelve miles, In actual ser
vice, however, 1t will never be put
TO that test as naval battles are never
fought at greater distance than mile. At
the latter range it can penetrate the side of
every arm0red vessel afl0a', consequently
larger guns are not now needed. One great
advantage Of the piece is the simplicity of
its mechanism, and the fact that should its
machinery ever be out Of order it can DO
worked by hand.

Z. II. Parker SAYS His Wife Was Such In

f. II. Parker, who has been sued by his wife
Jane for divorce for deSertion, files an affidavit
In which he denies her statement that he is worth
100000 but declares that he is worth only
$4,000 Parker says thar he married his wife
in 1857, and that they lived together I'LL 1879.
Since then she has been such In name only. A
separation was brought about by his having 10
so East. On the morning OF his departure she
did not even leave her room 10 say goOd-by. He
summoned her and asked her TO kiss him. This
she refused 10 do, but she shook hands With him
and their parting was friendly.
He spent three years In the East and during
that time he received no word from her. Re
turning TO California he found that she was liv-
ing In a cottage at Fruityae. He took up hrs
residence at the cottage, but did not live With
friendly.
In 1888 he took rooms on Post street, In this
city, and visited hIs wife al FTuitYale as 4 friend
might until she also removed 10 this side OF tbs
bag and took up her residence IN house which
she owned on Howard street. Parker soon after
took apartments IN the same house and paid her

Quently he acted as her representative, aud re-

Women Applicants VIII Not Accept EN-
ployment
During tie week the Associated Charities
received 147applicatiCns fOrrelief, of which
80 were from married couples, 81 from
widows, and a from single men. The
charities found positions for applicants
and 36 were given employment ia the wood
yards conducted with the institution. For
work there 1i2 tickets emitting receivers to
lodgings or meals had been issued in return
for 252R hours OF w00dcut,ing,
The belief that many Of the men assist ed
are in the habit Of selling the meal an d
lodging tickets for liquor was refuted by
the observations Of the officers Of the So
ciety. With few exceptions the men who
ask for aid can write fairly WELL and in
manner and appearance show s0briety.
OF the female applicants as much cannot be
said, Within a few weeks more than one
hundred women have been sent by the
charities to the various employment Offices,
with cards guaranteeing the payment Of
the charge eXacted for each position pro-
cured. Not one woman has been willing 10
take any position offered The places we're

the English Navy, the combined weight Of
two such guns as tie Betsy is twenty tons
less than the English 110-ton. If the weight
of the ammunition, etc. be taken into ac-
count, the American war vessels can carry
three OF the Betsy class and have no more
dead weight 10 provide for than an English
man-Of-war mounting one 110-tOn gun.
There is this further advantage in favor Of
the American armament that the small
guns are more reliable than the larger
class, which become defective after time
by the dropping of the muzZle.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the crew
engaged in unloading the formidable
weapon, that work was not completed up
to dusk last evening. 1t will rest on
staging alongside the switch where it
stOt d yesterday until It's mate arrives from
the East. The car upon which it was con-
veyed here will be returned to the Wash
ngton proving ground at once, In order to
bring out the companion piece to Betsy.
tlJhe journey across me continent was
without accident of any kind to the gun,
but the car, though built srecially for the
