metallic frames, five cartridges in a

thus be fired in rapid succession. the

three pounds weight. The Springfield
rifle used by United States troops pulls
at nine pounds.
At the test yesterday a quarter-inch
iron plate, three-eighths of an inch and
half-inch steel plate were placed in
position one at a time. and each of them
perforated by assteel bullet, it cutting
hole half an inch in diameter and leav-

plate test was a surprise even to Ack-

YOUTHFUL GREAT MEN.
Famous at an Age When Most Men Be
That 10

Famous at an Age When Most Men Begin
Their Careers.
IL IS undeniable that many of the
greatest careers have been made by
young. men. Washington was but 43
when he was called to the command
OF the American Revolutionary army.
Henry Clay was speaker of the House
Or Representatives at 81. Stephen A.
Douglas was but 80 when he first be-
came candidate for the presidency.
John Jay was chief justice of the Unit
ed States at 45. James G. Blaine was
only 80 when he became speaker of the
house OF Representatives. Alexander
Hamilton took charge of the treasury at
81 years of age. Martin Van Buren,
at 81 organized the famous Albany re-
gency and was governor of New York
at 40. John c. Calhoun III his 42d year
was vice-president of the United States
John Z. Breckenridge of Kentucky was
vlce-presldent at 81 and candidate for
the presidency at 35. George B. Nc
Clellan was only 80 when nominated for
the presidency
In military life especially young men
nave been most conspicuous. Gen. Grant
was but 40 years. of age when he began
winning name for himself in our Civil
war, and was only 43 when the war
closed. The great Napoleon was master
OF France and Europe before his Both
birthday. Alexander the Great had CON
quered the world and left it before he
was 33 years old. Fremont. the Path
finder" had explored the Rocky noun
tains before he was 30. and was running
for the presidency at 43.
Columbus was in the 3O's when he
explained his ideas of the Western pas
sage and enlisted the Spanish sovereigns
in the project that led to the discovery
of America. Richard Golden was but
81 when he founded the Anti-Corn Law
league which revolutionized the commer-
cial policy of Great Britain. William
Pitt, ranked by some historians as the
greatest of modern British premiers, was
practically ruler of England at "a. The
list of youthful great men might easily
be eXtended.-Baltimore Sun.

Tangcrines and Navel Oranges.

1t has been shown that the tangerine
orange. and possibly some other varie-
ties, are formed through the effort of
the orange to make a secondary growth
ut the apex of the original one, only
that it failed to make any original at all.
In other words. the tangerine orange is
Il Well-developed secondary fruit. How
this can be brought about may be readily
understood by carefully examining the
oranges known in the market as the ma
vel variety. In these cases small
orange can often be found at the apex,
sometimes of considerable size. When
the small one is largely developed and
the larger one wholly suppressed, then
we have the tangerine.

4 wedding with an unexpected ending
occurred the other day in Frankfort,
son were before the preacher. The
clergyman had reached the part of the
ceremony where he demanded if any
body had any objection to the match.
With that John Hughes stepped forward
and said he had an objection. He ex-
planned that the prospective groom had
twice promised to fight him for posses
sion of the girl and had SHE'D both times.
Then he coolly knocked Myers down,
threw him out of the window and, tax
ing his place beside Jemima, directed
that the ceremony proceed. The young
woman and the parson both seemed sat
isfied: so the valiant Hughes became the
bridegroom. while nobody seems to have
taken the trouble to inquire what became

MERCHANT oUTWITs HIS RIVALS.
Sells Them Salt for Sugar and Thus Ends
Lively War of Prices

a Lively War of Prices.
A sugar war between rival grocery
firms in the village of White, S. D., has
terminated in curious manner. The
chants offering twenty pounds of sugar
for 81. A couple of rival business men
entered into scheme to punish the mer
chant for offering sugar SO cheaply and
sent confederates to him to secretly buy
sugar for them at the reduced price.
After removing couple of pounds out
of each 81 package they sold the re-
mainder to their own customers, thus
beating their rival out of two pounds on
each investment of 81. The victim
learned of the scheme, and in retaliation
filled some packages about half full OF
salt, put sugar on top of it and disposed
of the packages to the parties whom he
knew were buying the sugar for his
rivals. These packages were then sold
ers, after deducting the customary two
pounds. After the man who made spc-
cialty of sugar had sold his rivals about
a dozen barrels of salt at 5 cents pound
some of the customers of the dupes EN-
tered protest against paying sugar prices
for salt, and the trick was exposed and
the war brought to sudden end.
The Salaries of Dramatic Artists.
Sarah Bernhardt's salary is $500 a
week. Yvette Guilbert receives under
her present contract, $1,000 a week, and
Calve earns $1,000 for each of her ap-
pearances. Olga Nethersole earns $3.50
a week. What with his salary and per-
centage of the receipts, John Drew
makes in good times $500 week. "A
competent leading man or woman, like
Henry Miller and Herbert Kelley, Viola
Allen or Isabel Irving. can be had for
5000 a week. The only player that has
ever received even in this prodigal coun-
try, salary equal to that of Bernhardt
was Nine. Modjeska. Edwin Booth,
who knew nothing about the value of
money. once engaged the Polish actress
at salary of $500 a week.
Mr.. Grau's contract with Guilbert
lasts only two weeks, after which she re-
turns to the cheap prices of Paris.
Calves contract lasts five months, but
during that time she sings only twice or
three times a week. after which she re-
turns to the moderate salaries of Europe.
Melba receives $500 a night in this
country, but in Paris she is content with
$500 a performance. But Sarah Bern
hardt's contract continues through sum
mer and winter. and every Saturday
night she pockets $500. Taking one
thing with another, the actress is better
off than the singers. Averaging the en-
tire income of each performance. we
should say that Calve earns $4,000 a
year. Guilbert about $50. 900, while
Bernhardt is sure of $4,000 annually
for five yearS-GOthamite.

BRICK TRUST NOW
Another Gigantic Combination in

Proposed to Form o Corporation

With q Central Selling Agency
in Chicago to Control the
Output.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA brick trust is
among the probabilities of the near
future. Several of the largest firms in
the city are reported as promoting the
scheme. The proposed plan is to form
a corporation of all of the concerns in
the country with q central selling
agency in Chicago which will con-
troll the output and fix the price
after the manner Of the coal COM
bination. All of the m%anufactur.
ers are to turn i'll their property
and receive stock in return. At pres
ent the intentions are to capitalize the
organization to the amount of 81, 500, 600
with a working capital of about $500, 600
this is merely for the purpose of or
ganization. The capital will be in
creased later III. Seventy of the firms
in this city have, it is said, signified
their willingness to enter the deal, and
a call for a meeting next week has been
issued.

through the efforts of the United States
