HE REPRESENTS KRUPP.
Capt. Piorlkowski of Great Diamond
Island is the Great German Gun Firms
Representative in this Country.

One or the cottagerS on Great Diamond
island this summer is Captain A. e. Pork
oWok1, OF New York. He came to America
IN 1885 as the representative of the great
krupp Gun company of Germany. In that
year the movement began for the United
States coast defences and the Krupps sent
man to be on the lookout for business
for them. Why? Because the Krupps are
the onlytirm in the. world that can:cast coast
defence armor of chilled cast iron five feet
thick and in plates weighing 100 tons.
We can cast plates only one third as large.
Ii any firm here should undertake the
manufacture of coast defence armor in all
probability the method of making such
armor would have to be secured from the
Krupps and royalty paid. That is why
Captain Piorkowski is in America. AS yet
there has resulted little or no business for
the Krupps but at any time very large
business will begin if their methods should
be introduced here.
Theer years ago Capt. Piorkowski who is,
by the way, Polish by descent, was ordered
by his firm to make business trip into
Northern Mantchuwa. The Chinese are
among the heaviest patrons of the Krupps
and have much better coast defences than
we have. He made the journey all alone.
with the exception of native servants. The
only white men who had preceded him into
those regions of northern China, were
Catholic priests, French and Italian, one
OF whom he occasionally encountered here
and there.
That was commercial travellers trip of
tremendous proportions, for purposes of
tremendous Importance. Think of going
into the depths of China to sell goods. That
is German enterprise, and it compares with
American very respectfully, to say the
least.
Capt. Piorkowski is brotherIn-law of
Mr.. II. W. Bryant, ESQ.,, of this city.

A woman,s Use Of Gimlets.

A short time ago modest little lady
entered the hardware store on Central
avenue in this city and asked about our
stock of gimlets. Being informed she
said that she wished to purchase some.
They were brought forth and Eplaced
upon the counter for her selection. In
the meantime she had proceeded to
make herself at home by placing her
numerous packages and umbrella in a
convenient place. Stepping once more
to the counter she opened the CONVERSE
ton thus: "Young man you are not
aware of the new use / make of these
little boring machines"
My thoughts began to wander to nu-
merous things out of the ordinary use
Giving me no time to make reply she
continued: "Some years ago | was in a
hotel IN the town of B. | engaged board
and room for one week. The second
night my room was entered and my
valuables consisting of one mileage book
and few dollars were confiscated by
some unworthy scoundrel who had
gained an entrance with skeleton key.
concluded that if I was to associate
with that class of people while there
had better prevent their visiting my
room again while asleep. After inform
ing the proprietor at breakfast conclud-
ed to visit the hardware store which by
the way was a com blnation store selling
every thing from potatoes to key Of
nails. After carefully looking over his
stock purchased three gimlets. That
night fastened the window by borning
through the sash into the frame leaving
the gimset in. Also the transom and
dool. retired for the night feeling as
secure as could be- After having been
asleep two hours or more heard the
cry of Fire! Fire Jumping out of bed
nv first thought was escape. Without
waiting to arrange my toilet grabbed
the door, pulled the gimlet, turned the
kew and opened it part way when Twas
blinded by smoke. Closing the door
again thought to escape by the window
route. Raising the window | found
would have to jump from the second
story. Once more my thoughts came to
my assistance. Gimlets! gimlets! where
are my gimlets? Picking up two Of
them that l had previously removed
I bored them into the window frame un-
der thetsill Taking clothes line from
nv trunk I tied it to both of them,
threw the rope out of the window, and
CHM bed out and began to descend, and
safely reached the ground amid the loud
cheers from those that saw me. / tell
YOU. Young man, shall never forget
that experience, and owe my life to
two gimlets and "a clothes Zine. Now
want these for any such emergencies
as | have mentioned. Please pick me
out one-uuarter dozen rather small.
Those / want to use for coat and hat
hooks. Sometimes I stay over night
where the room has no wardrobe or
nails to hang my garments on, so bore
them into the casing for that purpose,
thereby keeping everything hung up.
There are numerous other things they
can be used for, but / have not time to
talk further, and it is train time. How
much? Twenty cents? Thank you.
