ROBBED WHILE ASLEEP.

But the Compassionate Burglar Left Hin
Enough to Buy Breakfast,
The detectives are at work today
on a case Of robbery of a German
named Edwin Vogt, recently from
the old country, in which he was
victlmized Of about 5000 in cash.
Last night he attended a rehear-
sal Of the Frohsinn singing society
at Mission garden, and afteward he
walked to his room in a boarding
house near the Arkansas Pass depot
and went to bed. He had about
S4O0 in cash in his trunk and this
morning when he awoke
he found the trunk had
been broken open and it's con-
tents turned over thoroughly. He
found 5000 Of the money which the
thief had overlooked, but the other
5000 were gone.
Vogt is the same man who, while
in New Orleans some weeks ago,
bought % cents worth Of fruit from
a street stand and gave the attend
ant 500 bill, thinking it was a
dollar. He received rs cents change
and only discovered his mistake
when he counted his funds later in
the day.

jokes appeared in new cloth

The farce at the finale went off

DAMASCUS GUN BARRELS.
The secret of Their Manufacture
Kept in One Family for Many
NeHrS
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Consul Henry w Gilbert, of Liege, Bel
GUM. has in one of the recent issues of
the consular reports an interesting de-
scription of the manufacture of and trade
in Damascus gun barrels, which are
wholly handmade and only turned out in
the valley of the Vesdre, in the province
of Liege, in Belgium. These barrels are
for sporting guns. and the industry is
many years old, the worl1men in the viii
lage being almost all gun barrel makers,
and the trade descending from father to
SON.
The best barrels are a combination of
the best primary substances, welded and
forged by the martelage a froid process;
the steel comes from Westphala; the iron
is manufactured at Couvin, in Belgium;
the coal, which is especially suited for the
work, from the Herve Highlands, in Bel
GUM, while the motive power of the fac
tories is obtained from the River Vesdre
The industry has increased greatly in re-
cent years. These armeS de luxe, as they
are called, are made 0y men working in
pairs each pair in its own little factory.
quite Independent of all others. They are
paid by the piece. the wages being good,
and about 1000 men are engaged on the
work in the valley. Medium quality bar
rels are made of coke iron and steel while
the superior quality, which are produced
in the Nesdre Valley, are made of char
coal iron and steel An ingenious mar
rage of these metals gives a compost
tion which, when manufactured guar
antees the required soddity and resist
ance
The Improvement in these Damacus
barrels dates from the introduction of
perc Ussion caps in place of the old flint
lock. Formerly iron barrels alone were
produced. Now. to manufacture the curl
ed Damascus the ingot is composed of
thirty sheets of iron and steel, each hav-
ing a thickness of four millimetres, which
are enveloped in a sheet-iron box. placed
in an oven and welded together at the
lowest possible temperature Each bar
rel receives $50 welding beats while being
forged. and if a single one of these is nm
successful the barrel may be a failure
either by alteration of the Damascus
work or an imperfection in the welding.
There is no official test of these armes
de luxe, but they are thoroughly tested bv
the manufacturers before delivery The
annual production of Damascus barrels
in the Nesdre Valley is about three hun
bred thousand pairs, of a value of about
$4,000 francs. OF this the wages alone
for all the guns are acknowledgements
TO 100000 francs. The principal markets
are Great Britain and the United States
About half of the barrels made in the
Nesdre Valley are sold to manufa cturerS
