The first guns of this type used in the
United States were made under the
Hotchlxiss patents for the Boston. At
lanta and Dolphin. In all ninety-four
have been made of this type by the
Pratt & Whitney Co. of Hartford. Conn.
Two lieutenants in the navy, w. III.
briggs and Seaton Schroeder, thought
they could improve on the HotchlSiss
gun, and about four years ago they
manufactured an arm, which, in its
improved form, is now admitted to be
one Of the marvels of ordnance.
The popularity of the briggs Schroe-
der gun has been remarkable from the
first; Is of 4-inch caliber are building
ut the Washington navy yard, and 80
more are ordered; of 3.2-iuch caliber
is building at the Watervliet arsenal
for the army: 1870 of, ..2i-inch caliber,
10 of |. s5-inch caliber and Is of /. 4G-
inch caliber are building at Colt 5
armory in Hartford for the army and
navy. The largest of these throws a
projectile weighing SO pounds. They
are made of the finest quality of steel
which can be produced, having ten
sic strength of 10000 to 1885,,
pounds
The length of these guns is always
Just forty-6vc times their caliber
They consist of u long steel tube over
which red-hot jacket is fitted, and
then allowed to shrink tightly as it
cools, just as a wagon tire is shrunlI
on wheel The breech is closed by
n blocli-shown open in figure 3
which is provided with n series of
ridges, fitting into grooves in the
brecch When the gun is to be closed
the heavy handle is turned, revolving
the block into an upright position, and
then lifting it in nearly vertical di-
rection until the ridges and grooves
are so thoroughly interlocked that
there is no probability that the cxplo-
sion of the powder can loosen the
parts The operation is very quickly
performed, and the whole mechanism
is marvel of simplicity as compared
with the older Maxim and IIotchkiss
movements.
At present France is apparently the

His name is Jumbo. In his veins flow
in equal parts the blood OF the Hol-
stein and the Durham stock-a COM
bination which all breeders are fond
of. He is years old, and was calved
in Michigan, where he lived up to
eighteen months ago. The OK is very
gentle. In color he is black and white
mostly blaclS-and his horns have
graceful turn. County fair committees
who have heard of ,Jumbos blue
blooded existence have made bids for
him, and many people have journeyed
from considerable distances TO view
his mammoth proportions TO all the
varied inducements Col. Singerly has
turned deaf ear, preferring to exhibit
him in all the glory of his greatest do
velopment in Chicago next year. Ono
reason for the Coloners expectations
is that Jumbo's parents were both Of
tremendous size.

and there can be, in direct contrast, u
charming and delightful affair costing
very little in comparison.
At home wedding the bride can suit

Ihirteenth-Shem maintains fine libraries
and the only public art gallery in the

mas more churches, benevolent and phi
lanthropic organizations than any city in
the State to the population. Her moral
tone Is as high, and public order as good,
as IN any city, and the records of the
courts will show it; she has an undis-
puted reputation for hospitality of her
people and her taste and iberality in en-
tertaining. She is not extortionate or I'M
reasonable in dealing with visitors, de-
spite the charges to the contrary. Her
school system is in the front rank, and
second in all-around excellence to that of
no other in the State, q fact that all edu-
Gators know.
Eourteenth-Her central location makes
her commercial advantages next to those
OF San Francisco, and her wholesale trade
therefore exceeds that of any city of the
State outside of San Francisco and Los
Angeles. She has given to the State more
Jurlsts, statesmen, State-builderS, COM
merclal successes in life, and foremost
men in State history, than any other city.
She has risen superior to debt the
largest ever imposed upon a California
community, and that was the result of
her charity in succoring the pioneer ele-
ment that poured into the State between
1919 and 1852.

WHY Sacramento Is the Best Place for

If Mayor Comstock had not been lin
tied to 1000 words, or if he had not been
pushed for time in which to prepare the
article he might have added:
Seventh-Sacramento is the most CEN
trial point in the State, especially as relates
TO transportation. 1t is the chief CITY
upon the chief navigable stream Of the
State, its navigable relation extending
from the Golden Gate over 300 miles into
the interior. Its railway connections direct
are with the tranSmC ntane region east

valley to Puget Sound and the great
Northwest: south, through the whole
length of the State to the Gulf of Mexico.
and the South and Southwest; west, by
three direct lines to the coast; northeast,
to the Sierras, by two lines-in fact, seven
direct distinc: lines of carriage and travel
radiate from this city.
Eighth-She is the chief fruit and in
terror shipping and terminal point, re-
ceiving and sending out more shipments
than any other two combined, excepting
San Francisco.
Ninth-In the matter of improve
ments, Sacramento inside of five years
has expended by taxation $500, 900 and by
loan SlOO, 900 upon her streets alone. con-
structing in that time twelve miles of
graded streets. She has ample masonry
sewers, crossing the city, with thirteen
miles of tributary sewers, and is now ar
ranging to complete the system with a
new sewage disposal plant of the most APP
proved scientific character.
Tenth-It is history that no city in the
State has made more heroic triumphs in
the face of greater disaster, and she has
risen superior to every adverse circum-
stance. This has been in all State history
q common cause for expressions of pride
by all Californians.

Twelfth-She has never received from

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
Entertainment at the Congregational
This Evening.

Entertainment at the Congregational
This Evening.
The dramatic and musical recital, to be
given in the auditorium of the Congre-
gauional Church this evening, under the
management of the Young Peoples So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, promises to
be an entertainment of unusual merit and
excellence.
Miss Emile Mae Connolly, popular
young lady of Sacramento, and well
known as talented reader, will recite a
number of selected sketches covering a
wide range of subjects.
The recital has been arranged mainly
through the efforts of Miss Connolly, and
a host OF her friends have contributed to
support her in making the occasion in
every way successful.
This being the first entertainment the
young lady has undertaken largely upon
her own responsibility, although She has
contributed frequently to public and
church entertainments, she should be
greeted with full house.
The society has given many successful
lecture-socials this winter, and upon the
whole their work has been of material
importance as well as a contributor to
public enjoyment.
This evenings programme, in addition
to the readings of Miss Connolly. will
comprise musical selections by the best
talent and the affair will doubtless meet
with appreciative recognition. The pro-
gramme to be given is as follows:
Violincello solo, lie Lac" F. Jay Lewis;
"A Tale O. Sweethearts," Miss Connolly;

DOUBTLESS THE SAME.
The Gold Brick and Check SwindIers
Working san .Ionduin.

Working san Joaquin.
A telegram from Stockton states that a
smooth rascal worked several merchants
there last Tuesday on forged checks and
orders, but so far as heard from he got
away with only $50. He claimed to be a
farm hand and appeared countrifed, but
he was as slick as such fellows usually
are. He appeared to be about 50 years of
age, was of medium hight and weight,
lair complexion and clean shaven. His
penmanship was poor and his counter
feited signature was careless, but his ease
and apparent frankness made him dam
gerous.
Two sharpers, believed to be the gold
brick swindlers who worked a Sacra-
mento County farmer out of 5000 re-

county, on the old lottery-ticket game.

but finally became alarmed and the game
was at an end. The swindlers pretended
to be anxious to buy the farmers ranch,
but hesitated about going into the court
house to examine the title, and their will
lngnesS to accept the farmers verbal
guarantee of title spoiled the swindle.
