Here is the latest episode of Partisan

rather severe ON the simian population
Of the gay capital, and it was keenly
felt by Maurice, the orang-outang OF
the Jardian d'Acclimatation. When
Maurice fell i'll, it was decided by the
managers Of the Jardin that inasmuch
as Maurice possessed far more resem-
blance to a man than to an animal, a
regular doctor should be summoned,
and accordingly the services of physi-
clan were invoked. On his arrival how

THE NICKEL STEEL GUN.

Interest at the Government Ordnance Shops
Over the New Method Of Assembling.
The force at the Washington ordnance
shops has nearly completed the assem-.
bling of the first nickel steel gun for the
navy, and the result is awaited with in.
terest. The ordnance officers have been
engaged some time in the construction
Of a furnace for heating tho tube OF
this gun, which Is of s inch caliber.
The furnace will apply the heat to the
gun in horizontal instead of in a per-
pendicular position. The jacket, the
piece of metal which fits over the base
Of the tube and gives it greater strength,
will be forced over the tube while the
latter is kept beyond the expanding in
fuences of the heat by the constant ap-
plication of stream of water.
The delay in assembling the gun, the
forgings of which have been ready for
some time, has been caused by the diff
ticuity in securing pyrometer, a deli
cate instrument for registering the fear
full heat Of the furnace. This instru-
ment has been received, and everything
is ready for the assembling of the gun.
There is naturally much interest among
ordnance experts over the result of the
new system Of putting great guns to-
gether, for, if the proposed method is a
success, it will take the place Of the old
way, which required a good deal of
shifting Of heavy weights and the use
Of a shrinking pit.
There Is also much interest in the
tr1al of the nickel steel gun. 1t is ex-
pected that twill prove stronger and of
longer life than the simple steel gun

POE,S HOME.
in Which the Poet Passed
His Last Years.
Harper.s WeekIn.

A few minutes walk from the railroad
station at Fordham, forCy years ago a
quiet country village, but now fast be-
coming a part OF the Greater New York,
stands the cottage In which Edgar Allen
Poe passed the last and beyond doubt the
most peaceful years of his feverish life.
1t is a simple affair, built more than sew
enty years ago; long, low and boX-Shaped.
The sides, as well as the roof, are shin
gled. A broad porch shades the entrance,
and near by grows a vigorous cherry tree
planted by Poe in / s4T and which rarely
fails to bring out fun crop of fruit. on
the lower floor OF the Gotta ge there are two
large square rooms and . kitchen. The
middle room was used by Poe as dining
and sitting room, and here he received his
visitors, until his wife became il. She
then occupied the front room as a bed
oom, and it was there she died. The
second floor has three 10 w-ceilnged rooms,
and the front room, which was the same
size as the one below, was, IL is said, Poe's
favorite. room. An old-fashioned brick
chimney runs up through the roof, and has
an open fireplace. where cheeful fire
can blaze and crackle in winter.
n ItI- tu, Iu 'UiIs ., ii.t- atEt. Eureka, ~
two of the best known poems, were written.
Poe rented the cottage in the spring of
1916, and with his wife and mother, Mrs.
GLENN, wenttolive there His wife Virginia,
was then suffering from consumption She
rallied for a time, but soon again tegan
to fail. and died in the following year.

The grounds about the cottage comprise
grassy shady hollow. A ledge of rocks
overlook the cliff and valley below. To
the east the view stretches to Connecticut,
and over the Sound to the hills of Long
Island, blue and Shadowy in the distance.
Here Poe spent the quietest and happiest
days of his life. His expenses were small.
and his duties only such as he cared to
assume. He took long walks, often 60
ing to the city on foot. and his labors
were lightened by visits from friends and
admirers. But the end came all too soon.
A few months after the death of his wife,
Poe set out on his fatal trip to Baltimore.
and u fortnight later silence had fallen
upon one of the strangest geniuses Of his
time.

He Rose I'm His Sleep and Walked
Off the Platform of a South-
ern Railway Train.

That James s. Cow don is still alive after
the peculiar accident which befell him
this morning on the Washington and Ohio
division of the Southern Railway is little
short of miraculous and the complete won
der and amaZemcnt OF the surgeons at the
Emergency Hospital, where the injured
man was taken in the ambulance.
Mr.. Cowdon is forty-two years old. and
clerk in the third division OF the Pen
sion office. He resides will: his family at
Vienna, Va, and boarded the train there
this morning which reaches Washington
shortly before 9 o'clock.
Immediately after taking his seat he fell
into deep sleep, and was only aroused
partially as the trains stopped at different
stations and other pa SseDgers came into his
car. When the train struckthc Long Bridge
he arose lii "A soIniiambulistic condition, and
with wild dash started for the door in
the front Of the car and out upon the plat
form.
He eappearedt TO have become suddenly CON
scious Of his surroundings, ard the pas
seneers thought he was preparing to leave
the train at the depot.
As the train shot around the curve at
Fifteenth street, Cowden. who was at
that time Standing on the platform near
the steps. fell sound asleep. lost his balance
and plunged head foremost off the car
and down an emba nk;nent by the side Of
the railroad tower house. The train was
going at good rate OF speed. not having
slowed down for entering the city, and
none of the crew on board saw the man fail.
A few moments after the accident som.
trackmen'passins along at tina point saw
the man lying in an unconscious condition
in the ditch and picked him up for dead.
y telephone message was at once sent to
the Emergency Hospital. and the ambu-

MARKET OPENED DULL.
Reaction Set In Shortly and Several
PROMINENT Stocks Advanced.

New York, Dec. THE security markets
were quiet and irregular during the first
hour OF business. general disposition
prevailed to await the publication OF the
Presidents views on the Cuban and cur
rency reform matters. The impression OBJ
tained that the President would not make
any new departure so far as Cuba is con-
cerned, and more interest was manifested
in his recommendation regarding the finan-
cial situation. Speculation in Consequence
was dull and the fluctuations, except in
rare instances. confined to narrow limits
Soon after the opening Manhattan fell

dated Gas 1-S to 161, and the other pronii-
nent issues 1-Sa1-2 per cent. Toward IL
O'Clock the market displayed more firm
ness, and on covering OF short contracts a
rally or 1-4a1 per cent took place. In this
rally General Electric, Sugar, Tennessee
Coal and Chicago Gas were most prominent.
In these speciaities Laclede Gas jumped
2 3-4 to 20 1-2. Foreign houses were not
active In the market, and commission
house trading was on a very limited scale.
The market at IL O'Clock was dull and
firm.
Stocks after IL O'Clock were quiet and
firm. Operators are still in a waiting mood
and no relief to the dullness is looked for
until the Presidents message is made
public. Tobacco was exceptionally weak
and was sold on the announcement of the
Incorporation of a new opposition COM
pany with a capital of $1,000, 900. The
new concern will be known as the Drum
mond Tobacco Company, and is backed by
Philadelphia capitalists Speculation at
midday was duh aud firm.
