HOW TO KILL MEN.
NJ. Turpin Proposes to Wipe Out
Armies as by u Guest of Wind.

M. Turpfn Proposes to Wipe Out
Armies as by "a Guest Of Wind.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph says: NJ. Turpin, the in
'ventor Of melinite, is naturally very feti-
cent on the subject of the new engines of
destruction which he has planned He has
assured the correspondent that it was not
his intention to give any informa ton about
the formidable weapon to the public, as
his secret is reserved for the government
He did not. however, deny that some Of
what had already leaked out as to the ma
ture and capabilities Of the weapon was
true. According to these statements, NJ
Turpin goes SO far as to say that the fig
ures already given as to four discharges in
a quarter of an hour, each belchng IS 900
projectiles, only represent a minimum. He
believes that his gun could in fact. be
brought to such a pitch Of perfection as to
enable those using 1t to sweep several army
corps on field of battle as by gust Of
wind.
NJ. Turpin remarks that people have al
ready referred to him as being insane ow-
Ing to his incredible schemes Judging from
his appearance, says the correspondent he
Is the last person whom one would suppose
to be afflicted with tendency to lunecy
He is a middle sized, stoutish, fiorid -featur-
ed man about forty, the picture of health
Notwithstanding his recent prison expert
enceS, ana ne speaks with all the sincerity
and calmness of one not given to enthu-
siasm or exaggeration. He is, therefore, the
more easily able to impress those with
whom he converses, even when he says that
his gun will do a hundred times more dam
age than heavy siege ordnance; that fortifi-
cations will be of no avail against it. and
that iron -clads will be rendered absolutely
useless through its effects.
AS to the principle on which the terrible
weapon works, NJ. Turpin says 1t has an
electric basis. and is Of the utmost simplici-
ty. His secret. as he emphatically reiter-
ates when spoken to about the matter will
only be divulged to his own government
and under certain conditions. These are
that committee Of officers should be ap-
pointed to try the experiments with him on
a secluded headland on the Finistere coast,
with Gordon of troops round in
order to keep back the inquisitive
As to taking out patent, he
means to do nothing of the sort, as his
secret might thus be communicated to a
German. Englishman, Italian, or, as the
inventor expresses 1t, un Armstrong quel-
conque His melinite is now in use in every
country from Germany to Japan, and he
does not want his gun to become in the
same way the property of nations.

Mr.. Richard Matteson OF Pawtrckct has
|1nyentod a self-oliing box, which is said
TO be great improvement over those pre-
Eviously in use. One OF the advantages
|c1ained for II Is that II prevents the oil
|Drom running out on the shaft This will
|be appreciated by mill men, especially in
|4hc weave shops, where many devices
have been tried to prevent the oil dropping
|on and iniuring the goods. Some have
|used pans under the hangers, but rusting
|out and leaking gives almost as much
|tfoubIe as the hanger itself.
Another feature OF this box Is the man.
|ncr in which the oil is transferred from
|tho reservoir to the shaft, making 1t inn
|possible for the felt or wicking to glaze
lover and become useless, as Is often the
|cose after few months run. Then, too,
|sho box is a labor saver, in that it runs a
hong time without reflling; all dust Is
kept out, and the oil continually Ia mo-
|fion, does not thickcn. The oiler does not
|hhye 10 keep climbing up to the shaft to
bee how nearly empty the box is, or to
hour in more oil, which may run over and
Down on the floor, for the oil reservoir

|1aver, as nine-tenths OF an oilers work
- climbing up TO see how the oil is in the
boxes.

lished in the Evening Star, Minister
Willis is reported to have said:
"You are authorized to state that no

place for several weeks. / brought with
me certain instructions from the United

carry out my instructions, the peace and

undisturbed in the interests of humanity;

you may put the matter more plainly
and say that even IL the provisional, gov

lawlessness would be allowed for one mo-

sPAsM OF VIRTUE.
Every Disreputable House In the Tcnder
loin District Closed by Police.

loin District Closed by Police.
New YORK, Dec 6.-For the first time
In the criminal history Of New York city
every disreputable house in the tenderloin
precinct was closed rs tight as drum last
night. The orders came from police head
quarters and the work of closing the houses
and evicting the inmates was done so
quietly aud systematically that there was
but little excitement.
The result of this sudden spasm Of virtue
On the part Of the police department was
that several hundred unfortunate women
were driven to the street without word
of warning. Many Of them were not per-
fnitted to stop in the house long enough
to have their baggage removed. As many
of them possessed only the garments on
their backs, they had to face the wintry
night with but little covering.
The streets and saloons in the precinct
were overrun by the homeless creatures.
Many of them were hustled out before
they mad their dinners, and the pangs OF
hunger, coupled with the biting atmos-
phere, made them suffer intolerhbly.
Groups OF the poor creatures stood on
nearly every street corner, shivefing In the
cold. 1t WAS not uncommon to.sce knots
of the evicted ones weeping in doorways,
while Others, in fimsy silken gowns, sat
in slippers and bare hends, begging cab
men to trust them with "a ride in seVch OF
friends
After midnight the more hardened ones
got drunk aud roamed through Sixth ave-
nue.. cnrsing tie polica and asking aims OF
passers-by Pittsburg was the only Amer
ican city that ever did the like.
Many of the women were so poor that
they sought lodgings In the police station
houses. Some of the propretors OF disrep'
utable houses received the 'tlp' in the
afternoon that the houses were to be
closed, but they did not inform the in
mates. The proprietors had vans to re-
move their furniture and baggage.
Fifty-six houses in seven blocks were
compelled 10 close, and their inmates were
turned adrift.
