LONG SHoTs.-The longest distance
that shot has been fired is few yards
over Is miles, which was the range of
Krupp's we'll known "monster" 130.
ton steel gun, firing a shot weighing
2, 900 pounds. The Hilton Armstrong
gun has an extreme range of IA miles,
firing shot weighing ! 300 pounds and
requiring $50 pounds of powder.
These guns, however, proved TOO ex-
pensive, being unable to stand firing
100 times, and their manufacture has
practically been abandoned. The o.
ton Armstrong gun hurls a solid shot
for distance of IL miles, and the dis
charge of the gun cannot be heard at
the place where the ball strikes. From
IL to Is miles is the computed range of
the most powerful guns now made,
and to obtain that range an elevation
of nearly As degrees is found to be nec-
essary. Quick firing guns are more
depended upon at the present day
than extreme length of range, and in
this respect what is considered the
most wonderful of guns, perhaps, is one
of the Maxims, which can fire as many
as 600 shots minute and yet is so light
that a soldier can carry it strapped to
his back. Financially regarded, the.
immense sum of $195,000 was ex-
pended in constructing the monster
Krupp gun, and each projectile cost
S4,750.

The IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER
Prayer is, in the plan of God, a vital
force in the universe-as truly a force
in the moral world as electricity or
gravitation is force in the world of
nature. 1t is, therefore, not enough
to say that because our Father knoweth
what things we have need of before
we ask him, we shall gain nothing
through an attempt to make known to
him our needs and desires. God has
chosen to condition certain gifts to US
on our request for them, and unless
we pray accordingly we have no right
to expect or receive these gifts. The
Son of God while he was the Son of
Man realized the Importance of prayer
for himself and for his loved ones, and
he enjoined on his disciples the priv
ilege of prayer. five would be blessed
we must pray for ourselves. If we
would have others blessed we would
pray for them. 1t is often the case
that we can do more for those whom
we love by prayer in their behalf, than
by any other mode or epdeavor. And
to know that those who love us are
praying in our behalf, is something to
be profoundly grateful for. God may
honor the prayers for US ofthose whom
we prize but lightly.

CORNS AND THEIR CURE.
Observations of Chiropodist on Pre-
vailing Af1ichon.


vailing Af1iction.
From the Washington Star.
A chiropodist says: "One of the
most popular corn plasters is made in
Baltimore, but not long ago the manu-.
facturer brought his wife over to me
to be treated for corns. asked him
why he did not try to cure her himself
He told me that his plasters were very
good things to sell to druggists, but
that they did not seem to benefit his
wife in the slightest. 1t is my expe.
rience that at least 80 per cent. of the
people suffer more or less from cornsD
Washington is one of the worst cities
in the country in this line. 1t is on
account of the asphalt streets, I think.
At any rate, people who come from
other cities often develop some form OF
foot trouble after they have been here
q while.
"Who are your best customers ?"
"Women always. They will persist
in wearing high heels and shoes that
are too short for them. Now, short
shoe is much worse than shoe that
is too narrow, for, as the ,verage
person is not blessed with high in
steps, the toes are forced down against
the end of the shoe and either corns OF
deformities of the joints result. In my
opinion Southern people have the best
feet. The reason of it is that they are
great horseback riders. Holding ones
feet in the stirrups results in making
high insteps, and high insteps prevent
the feet from being forced down into
the end of the shoes. 1t is true that
Southern women like to wear high
heels and tight shoes, but the effect is
not nearly as bad on them as it is on
Northern women with their fatter in
steps.
"Yes, bicycle riding is just about as
good for the feet as is horseback riding.
The foot gets freer play than it does in
walking, and if the shoes are well
made and properly fitted it has a ten
dency to make the feet arched and
graceful. firmly believe that the fact
that so many small children are now
riding the wheel is certain to result
in better shaped and healthier feet in
the coming generation. Parents real
ly ought to pay more attention to the
condition of their children's feet. They
ought to take more care about their
shoes, seeing that they fit properly and
do not rub or are loose. That parents
do not, as a rule, exercise such care is
shown by the number of children from
Q to years of age who are brought to
be treated for corns and bunions.

THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL OF s. C.
Written for The Enquirer.

Written for The Enquirer.
The one hundred. and sixth annual
council of the Diocese of SoutE Caro-
lima was held in St. Philips church
Charleston, the "Mother church of the
Diocese"-on the 9Th day of May. Al
the opening service the Rev. T. D.
Bratton, B. D., of spartanburg, was
preacher, and the bishop was celebran1
at the holy communion which fol-
lowed.
The annual address of the bishop,
the reports of the secretary of the dioce'
san board of missions, and of the arch
deacon for colored work, showed the
finances of the church in South Caro-
lima to be in better condition than for
years, and that in the main, steady pro-
gress is being made. The number Of
her own sons who are preparing to
serve the church in the sacred minis
try is gratifyingly large. The reports o1
the trustees of the University of the
South, and Of the Porter academy,
gave full and interesting information
as to the conditions and prospects OF
these institutions. The property ofthe
Porter academy comprises st acres:
we'll located in he city of Charleston,
and finely improved, having chapel,
ample dormitory quarters, class rooms,
dining halls, work shops, steam laun-
dry. gymnasium, library, and all the
conveniences of a well equipped acad-
emy. Without an endowment, this
school as shown by the report of the
trustees, has educated since the war
5000 boys, many of whom otherwise
would have been without instruction
and preparation of this kind for life.
Besides these matters of routine
business, few special subjects were
discussed. The committee appointed
to take into consideration the proposal
to purchase an Epiccopal residence in
Columbia, reported recommending the
purchase of the house now occupied by
Bishop Capers as permanent resi-
dence for the bishops of the diocese.
The committee appointed to collect in
formation as to the vested funds of the
church in this diocese, reported that
these funds-now invested, and held
for various purposes of church work
in the State-amounted to more than
100000. The proposal to publish a
volume in commemoration of the life
and work of the late diocesan of South
Carolina, the Rt. Rev. w. B. W. Howe,
S. T. d., was again brought before the
council, and it is hoped that it will be
Immediately put into effect. The pro-
position is to publish volume con-
tanning a number of sermons of the
late bishop whose great theological
learning, deep earnestness, and i'm
pressive eloquence, made him preach
er of vast power and effectiveness.
During the sessions of the council
very important meetings of the dio'
cesar branch of the Woman's auxilia'
ry to the general board of missions

There are only few United States
coins so rare as to command premium
when not in excellent condition.
Among these precious exceptions are
the dollars of 1894, 1904, 1888, 1889,
1851, 1852, 1859; half dollars of 1895
and 1897; quarter dollars of 1928 and
1927; dimes of 1897, 1900, 1902, 1904
and 1922; half dimes of 1894, 1902,
1905 and 1S46; 20-cents pieces Of 1877
and 1878 big copper cents of 1898,
1899, 1904 and 1909 ; half cents of 1893,
1896 and 1902.
There is market today for Con-
federate notes, though only few Of
them are salable. The $1,000 Mont
gomery issue is worth 500, and the
same issue of $500 will fetch form s15
to $35. These notes are Of 1861 and
1852, and they must be in good condi-
ton in order to command the prices
mentioned.

sum from MS business prectpttated him
into BANKRUPTCY. He had scanty means
to prosecute his suit, and the treacher-
GUS thief who had robbed him, having
the money, could employ the best legal
talent for defense against him. Worse
that all else, the most material witness,
the man who held that secret writing,
mysteriously disappeared While the
contest was still on in the courts my
husband died. Then the case was quick
ly decided in favor Of the robber, who
is now very rich man and highly re-
spected citizen. read in the papers a
few days ago speech made by him up
on some public occasion, in which he
said that heaven had prospered his en-
deayors. I suppose that is correct. And
his most successful endeavor, the one
that laid the foundation for his great
wealth, was the spoliation Of the widow
and child Of the man who had trusted
him as friend"
although fully sympathize with
you in your misfortunes and share your
indignation at the abominable treachery
of which you have been victim, I fail
to see why these things should stand in
the way Of your daughter becoming my
wife. I love her She loves me. I shall
be good husband to her. 1t seems tome
that it would be more philosophic to
seek whatever happiness may yet be in
store for you and her under improved
conditions of life than to go on brooding
over such melancholy past and sacr1-
fcing all the joy Of life to il"
"You must permit me, Mr.. Latham,
to be the judge Of what is best for me
and mine. My life is vowed to ayenging
justice, and my daughter has shared my
VOW. Not until the lost witness is found,
the robber and assassin of my husband
punished, restitution made and our hon.
orable name cleared from the stain that
scoundrel put upon it to shield himself
may Adele think Of love and marriage.
Perhaps, if you would permit me to
do so, might be able to aid you in at
tainment Of the end you have in view,
or at least in demonstrating the practi-
cability or impracticability Of the en-
deavor to do 3d."
The old woman seemed to reflect upon
the suggestion, and he began to hope he
had found way for ultimately winning
her favor, but when, after little 81
lence, she answered him her words soon
dispelled his hope.
NO." she said "You could not help
us The strands Of our lives will never
be twisted into one cord. Go and forget
us if you can. Let Adele alone She has
voluntarily taken my obligation upon
her and must keep the vow. "
"But if l could help you by finding
the witness you WANT 80.
"Your claim upon my gratitude would
be greater than any other living mans
But it is useless to talk Of it. The curse
of the past may not be transferred The
duty of vengeance is ours, and ours

IT LOOKED SoUALLY.-A letter to
The New York Herald from Havana,
tells Just how near the United States
came to getting into war with Spain
on account of the threatened execution
of the Competitor prisoners, not long
ago.
Consul General Williams was not
officially informed of the approaching
trial of the Competitor prisoners, and
although he knew what was going on
was not present. AS soon as he learn
ed that the trial was concluded, how
ever, he assumed that the prisoners
had been condemned to death, and he
promptly cabled Washington for in
structions. Upon receiving reply, he
called upon General Weyler.
The captain general told Consul
General Williams that he did not
know whether or not the men had
been convicted but if they had been
they would surely be shot at sunrise.
"Then," replied Consul General Will
liams, II shall Immediately demand
my passports and the consequences
will be upon you and upon SPAIN" At
this Weyler grew furious. He called a
meeting of the most prominent Span
ish officials in the city, laid the case
before them and said that unless the
men were executed he would resign
his commission. In the meantime,
Washington was bringing pressure to
bear on Madrid, and presently Madrid
cabled Havana to postpone the matter
for the present, and also instructed
Weyler not to resign until more
fitting time. Thus the matter was
temporarily smoothed over.
Although there seems to be no ap-
prehension of any immediate trouble
between the United States and Spain,
the United States isbIsy making on:
rangements for the worst emergency.
All the available ships of the navy are
being mobilized off Brooklyn, New
York, and within few days from now,
a powerful feet will be ready to sail
in the direction of Cuba even upon a
few hours notice. The United States
is evidently getting somewhat inter-
ested.
