An interesting item in the last pub

is the statement of the naval construc-
tion that the Spanish government has
in hand. Orders have been given to a
big Italian firm near Genoa to build i'm
mediately an armored cruiser, which
will be ramed the Pedro Aragon. She
will be on the lines Of the crack cruiser
Guiseppi Garibaldi ii, which Spain has
purchased and rechristened the Cristobal
Colon. The latter is to be delivered by
the builders to the Spanish government
complete next February. Only 10
months are allowed for the construction
Of the Aragon. Both of these cruisers
are to be supplied with the tubular
boilers in vogue in the French navy.
When finished, the vessels will be slight
ly more formidable than our best ar
mored cruiser, the New York

Fall River. Mass, Dec. 31.-The annua
dividend list of the Fall River mills was
issued yesterday from the Office OF c. M.
Haffards a. Co. The year has been a
hard one for the print cloth mills, and
yet ony three have passed on dividends.
The Anawan and Fall River manufac-
tory are old mills and the Barnaby ging-
ham mill has suffered from the stagna-
tion which prevails in the gingham trade.
AS, in 1895. these companies paid their
stockholders nothing
The amount of capital represented in
the list of 80 corporations is $22, ,933, 900,
which is an increase of 81, ,655, 900 on last
years list. The larger part OF this in
crease is due to the fact that the Kerr
Thread company. established in 1888, ap-
pears in the list with capital of $780, 600
The earnings have been I,36S,S75. an
average OF 5.95 per cent Last years

MAD FOR COCAINE.

Residents Of Manchester, Conn.,, Afflicted
with = General Craze For the Drug.
The cocaine habit has taken such q
hold on the residents Of Manchester,
Conn, that steps are being taken to OBJ
tain Legislative restriction on the sale
Of the drug. The evil had it's inception
when local druggist year ago made
o preparation Of cocaine and menthol
which could be used as snuff. 1t was
intended as specific for asthma, but
the prescription was passed around, and
now hundreds Of persons have become
slaves to the stuff.
One prominent druggist said that
while he had made a lot Of money on
the sale of the compound, he was one
of the prime movers in trying to check
the evil habit. It had got to such q
point that well known men and women
went to his house at all hours Of the
night and made him 60 to the store and
get the stuff for them, threatening if he
did not that they would break into the
place. He says their condition is pitia-
BILE.
The persons affected with this vicious
habit can be seen on the streets at night
"pinching'-asi it is called-and at al
most any public entertainment they can
be seen getting in dark corner, where
they oan enjoy good pinch. As q
rule, there are three or four together,
and they all have their turn at treating.
The preparation costs 80 cents an
ounce Some Of the habitues consume
as much as IS worth in week.
An experienced physician said that he
never heard of place where the abuse
of the drug had become SO general and
that the future prosperity of the towr
| was involved.

How He Caught Bullsts Fired By Expert
Marksmen of the National Guard.

How He Caught Bullsts Fired By Expert
Marksmen of the National Guard.
Now that Hermann the Great is gone
there can be no harm in explaining how
his wonderful trick Of catching the bull
let's shot at him by six national guards
men was done.
On both occasions the famous presti-
digitateur stood alone upon the stage
while six picked marksmen from the
New York state national guard fired
point blank upon him from platform
built in the audience On both occasions
Hermann, pale of face and painfully
alert, caught the bullets, previously
marked by q committee of noted army
men, and handed them back hot from
the barrels for Identification.
OF course it was trick. but it was q
dangerous trick, and one that Hermann
disliked to do But even he was less
nervous than the .marksmen. who, act
ing in perfect good faith, feared that
they might kill the plucky magician.
OF course there was an acoomplice,
and this accomplioe was not one of the
marksmen. but the sergeant in charge
Of them. This sergeant took the six reg
ulation army bullet cartridges on q sill
yer platter to the committee.
The committee examined them, made
sure they were genuine, marked them
plainly and replaced them on the plat
ter. The sergeant instantly raised the
platter in plain sight at arms length
above his head, walked over to the
marksmen, and they themselves each
took cartridge, examined it and placed
it in the rifle. Then came the shooting.
The trick lay In the platter, which
had false bottom. Under this bottom
lay six other cartridges, identical in
size, weight and appearance, but hold
ing bullets made Of q composition Of
plumbago and mercury. When the SER
geant held the platter aloft. he touched
a spring and by clever mechanism
these six fake" cartridges jumped into
the platter, while the genuine cartridges
disappeared beneath the false bottom.
So it was the composition cartridges
that the marksmen unkowingly put
into their rifles, and on firing-this COM
position was instantly melted by fric-
tion through the barrels and dissipated
in the air.
Meantime, however, the supposedly
empty platter was taken behind the
wings, where the genuine cartridges
were drawn ont, quickly heated and
carefully placed by an attendant on o
table, where Hermann, just before the
firing, carelessly picked them up and
palmed them. Holding them in his
hands during the firing, he immediate
ly produced them as the smoke cleared.
A simple trick, but very dangerous
one, for if the platter's mechanism fail
ed to work completely one or more Of
the genuine cartridges might have got
into the rifles Of the marksmen and
thence into Herrmann's body. New
York Herald.
