CIRCUIT COURT.
The Cowan Case Finally Disposed
of-MoOnshiner Acquitted.

After a trial lasting through two
DAYS Mr.. Cowan, the grocer, has
been relieved of the unpleasant
charge of enlightenment which
has hung over him for several
months. At the first trial the jury
could not find enough evidence
against the defendant to convict
him. and the second trial had the
same result, the jury standing
seven for acquittal and five for
conviction.
After they had been in deliber-
alton forty minutes they reported
to the Court that it was impossible
to agree. Judge Carter sent them
back for half an hour longer, but
the poll had not changed and he
released them and discharged Mr..
COwan from further prosecution
on this charge.
w. y. Kinney represented the
complainant and Geo. A. Davis
the defendant. Both the LAWYERS
made able addresses.
Attorney \. G.. NJ. Robertson de-
Tended Akana, a Chinaman, charg
ed with moonshining and conduct
ed the case so ably that Mr.. Akana
may have konohi any time he
wishes. One of the spies admit
ted on the stand that he did not
know the difference between oko-
IehaO and Scotch whiskey, but
knew that what he drank was not
samshu. The jury evidently felt
that the man did not know what
Akana had offered him and re
turned a verdict of acquittal.

SAVED BY HIS PIGTAIL.

John Chinaman Was After Cooking
and Came Near Being Cooked.
From the St. James Gazette.
John Chinaman has penetrated even to
the heart Of Matabeleland. At least there
is one adventurous Chinee who reached
there, and who now owes his life to his
pigtail and the quaint personal peculiaritics
of lis race. He was on his way to GER
tain mining district to act as cook. ETC.,
to some prospectors when the present dis
turhances began. Poor "Pigtail found
that to continue his journey or to return
would be rather risky. but decided on the
latter plan. He had passed the remains
Of many murdered whites lying along the
road, when he was overtaken by some
ten or twelve Matabele bloods on murder
bent, and armed in various ways. On
reaching him and finding that he was not
"Beoongar," or white man, they consult
ed among themselves, and finally, after
tating manner they drew nearer, and,
with respectful awe, touched him. to make
sure that he was In reality flesh and blood.
He was certainly neither a Cape half
breed, Hottentot nor anything else they
had ever seen. so. after an exchange of
and Chinese respectively, they withdrew,

bat of a larger type, for the specific serv-
Ice of destroying in warfare that class to
which the more numerous boats belong
The origin of these larger boats, known
as ''destrCyers." was due to the supremacy
of the French torpedo-5oat fiotilla some
few years ago, and the advent of the tor
pedo-t cat catcher was the first fCr- on
the part OF the British to meet that menace
to their merchant service. These boats

The result Was that class known now as

battle ships.
In prolonged war that type will survive
which IS either easiest repaired or replaced;
and with our present knowledge of the COM

plain to see that only light gunboats and
torpedo craft must then answer our needs
with European powers, armed to the teeth
so to speak, with this class of naval might,
1t Is not hard to realize how urgently we

MADE BALD BY x RAYS,
Mr.. Levy Finds the Bullet Inside His
Skull, but Loses His Hair.

Mr.. Levy Finds the Bullet Inside His
Skull, but Loses His Hair.
From the st. Paul Dispatch.
William Levy of Eau Claire, Wis, who re-
Gently had an X ray examination of his
skull made by Prof. Fred S. Jones at the
physical laboratory of the Minnesota State
University, had an experience in conse-
quence not generally supposed to accom-
pany that process.
Levy was shot in the head about ten years
ago by an escaping bank defaulter. The
bullet has been somewhere in his head ever
SINCE and in July he made up his mind to
have 1t located. Accordingly he came up
and sat from o'clock in the morning till
10 at night for Roentgen ray picture of
his head. The bullet had passed into his
skull just above the left ear going toward
the back of the head.
After taking a couple of negatives they
finally found about where the bullet was
located. The doctors wrapped his head up
in wires which were definitely located. A
picture was taken through the skull from
the front toward the back of the head, the
tube from which the rays radiated being
for this purpose placed inside his mouth.
The picture thus secured showed the bullet
very distinctly to be lying at the juno ton of
two Of the wires which crossed right under
the occipital bone. 1t indicated also that
the bullet had struck the back Of the skull
the bullet, being further from the plate,
showed DINNER on the negative. These ex-
posures had taken up nearly the whole day,
but the patient felt no bad effects at the
time. He had been warned that the expert
ment might cause him the loss of his hair,
but that did not deter him from taking the
risk. A very strong current, about 100000
volts, had been passed through the tube TN
making the exposures.
The next day Mr.. Levy began to notice a
peculiar effect on his skin wherever it had
been most exposed to the rays, and the hair
on the right side of his head which had been
near the wire began to fall out. In a few
days the right side Of his head was perfect
ly bald, his right ear had swollen to twice
Its natural size and presented the same ap-
pearance If very badly frozen. Sores
were visible on his head, his mouth and
throat were blistered, SO that he could not
eat solid food for three weeks, and his lips
were swollen, cracked and bleeding. In
fact, the long exposure of the x rays while
giving him no pain at the time, seemed tc
have produced very similar effects to a very
severe burn.
Mr. Levy has recovered from the effects
of his burns, but he still has half bald
head. He is a plucky man, about thirty
years Of age, and intends to have the in.
vestigations carried further and the bullet
removed. He has already written to Pro.
fessor Jones asking for another sitting. II
is necessary now to have negative show.

ON THE FRONT SEAT,

Sociable and Friendly With Every

From the New Orleans Times -Demotr rat
He must have been his mothers darling
At any rate he was one of the handsomest
manifest little fellows who ever wore gold
en- hair that hung down his back and a
nobby little sailor suit of white linen He
was kneellng on the frCnt seat of a ST.
Charles avenue car on its way down town
last night, and was in talkative mood.
The motorman stopped the car suddenly.
My" said the little fellow, enthusiastical-
ly, didn't he do that thing round fast?''
Then he asked the gentleman seated be-
hind him where he was going. On receiv-
ing the desired information the youngster
became confidential, but his tone didn't.
my names Allie" he said to the gentle
man. That's john" pointing to the boy
on the seat beside him. He's 'leven and
I'm six. but I'm the biggest. That's my
sister Nellie" and his forefinger singled
out a pretty girl on the opposite seat, who
was evidently taking a great interest in
what the tattler was saying. "She's seven
teen. and that's her sweetheart with her.
They're going to West End
The girl tried to shut the flow of words
Off but 1t wouldn't work, and the boy con-
tinued:
I'm going there, too. Sos my brother
He's going to buy us some ice cream, cause
he's stuck on sister,"
By this time everybody within sound OF
the youngsters voice was laughing, and
that meant nearly everybody in the car
Something desperate had to be done, and
the sister yanked the conversational young
ster from his seat to her lap and whisper
ed something to him.
Say" he called to the gentleman, ''sister
says I mustn't talk to you any more on the
car. Can't you come out to West End
too?'
His sisters sweetheart was thinking
about gagging him, when Canal street was
reached and the party left the car. But i,
was picnic while 1t lasted.

A wide strip Of linoleum on the upper
or main deck will form secure footway,
and an electrical plant, with a capacity for
something like eighty lights. will supply
illumination within the boat and for the
ordinary running lights.
Triple-expansion engines, one on each
shaft. and in a common compartment, will
drive the boat To save lateral space, there
will be two low-pressure cylinders on each
ergine, and the respective diameters of all
will be 20, % and 80 inches, with a uniform
stroke of Is inches and a revolution speed
Of 400 turns when making thirty knots an
hour
The boilers. three In number, and In two
separate compartments, will supply steam
at working pressure Of 24O pounds, and,
as in the other boats, forced draught will
be induced by blowers in each fire room.
Here. too, the quarters for officers and
crew are all that could be expected.
Compared with any Of the foreign boats
OF the destroyer class. We shall have reason
for present satisfac ton, while in many re-
spects they meet the requirements Of our
coasts with peculiar fitness.
In the Other Classes.
The two % 1-2-knot boats to be built by
Wolff Zwicker Of Portland, Oreg, have
been designed with especial consideration
for duty on the Pacific coast, where greater
radius of action Is called for through the
absence Of frequent safe ports.
The motive power will consist of two sets
Of triple-expansion engines. one for each
| shaft. and will have cylinders of II 7-S, 19
and % rs inches in diameter
The armament will consist of four tubes
for the discharge Of 14-inch torpedoes, and
will be arranged one abaft each Of the two
coming towers, and two abreast, one on
each side, amidships The forward and
| after tubes fire from the center line and
upon both sides, while the midship tubes

sets of triple-expansion engines in COM

sets Of triple-expansion engines in a COM
mon compartment.
The boat will be lighted by electricity,
and accommodations for eight officers and
will be housed aft.
The two twenty-knot boats will have
triple-expansion engines. There will be
but one screw, and the coal supply will be
eight tons.
The torpedo armament will consist of two
fourteen-inch torpedoes, placed on the CEN
ter line and mounted just abaft each Of the
coming towers. In addition, each boat
on top of the forward tower.
The particularly light draft-three feet
six inches-makes these boats peculiarly
well fitted for shoal water work.
The one boat to be constructed by the
Columbian iron works of Baltimore, Nd. is
upon the departments plans, slightly mod
flied. The engines-of the four-cvlinder
triple-expansion order-will actuate a single
screw. There will be two fourteen-inch
torpedo tubes on the center line, one abaft
each coming tower. and firing upon both
screw. A single One-pounder rapid-f1re gun
will be mounted on the forward tower.
The boat is cut up into eight non-com-
municable compartments; and quarters are
provided for a complement of twelve.
The single boat to be built by the Charles
Hillman Ship and Engine Building Com
pany Of Philadelphia, Pa, is upon the de-
partment's plans, unaltered, and with en-
gines and power similar to the Columbian
iron works boat. She will also have the
same complement. the same battery and
the same coal supply-that of sixteen tons.
Use on the Great Lakes.
In all four of these twenty-knot boats
the crew have been purposely placed in the
most comfortable part of the craft-that
aft-the load Of the working strain falling
heaviest upon them.
The maximum length Of 1O1 feet inches
Is such that they may be taken through
any of the locks of the Erie canal: and
brought. should occasion arise, to bear up
on the great lakes. This is really the first
serious step to meet the menace of En-
glish possibilities through the Welland
canal
Destroyers and torpedo boats will carry
liberal supply of rapid-fire ammunition,
and each boat will have one torpedo more
than she has tubes.
The advent upon the active list Of these
new boats and those others building will
bring us face to face with new fields Of
naval training, and the officers and men
have yet really to be developed who shall
make the most of these possibilities and,
perhaps, win the laurels Of undylng fame.
