A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Mrs. Cleveland's Last Communion
at DR.. sunderland's Church.
Members of Church at Invitation of
Pastor Take Hand of President's
Wife In Anectionate
Parting.

A touching incident marked Mrs.
Cleveland's last communion Sunday at
DIR. Sunderland's church, says the Wash
ington Times. DIR. Sunderland, the
venerable pastor of the church, who
had officiated at Mrs. Cleveland's mar
riage and who has baptized her chill
dren, addressing the congregation,
said:
"Mrs. Cleveland is with us at this COM
munion service, where she has been
many times before, but us this is prob.
ably the last time she will be present
on such an occasion ]. have felt that it
would be appropriate to testify to the
esteem and affection of the congrega-
ton toward her, rs one who in her high
place has shown an example of wise
Christian womanhood, and that if she
would kindly remain in her pew until
the people pass by and take her by the
hand it would be source of great sat
!sfaction to us ALL"
This outburst Of emotion on the part
Of DR.. Sunderland affected Mrs. Cleve-
land. The congregation began to file
by her, and TO ell she extended her hand
and gave them cordial handshake.

POWDER WAR ENDED.

Pacific Coast Companies Conclude 1t Il
Prohtless to Fight One Another.
The powder war which has been
waged on the Pacific coast for nearly
five years is over. During that time
the contenHng companies, it is esti-
mated, have lost between 81, O00,O 900 and
s1,5o0,000 In profits from them, and the
holders Of stock have gone without divi-
dends. For several months, however,
negotiations have been in progress re-
sulting in the adjustment of all diff.
culties, and the attorneys of the three
companies interested were instructed
to draw up the final papers for sigma
ture.
Upon the general proposition of an
agreement as to the prices of dyna-
mite, the Judson, California and Giant
companies have been in accord. They
manufacture over !5,O00,0OO pounds of
high explosives annually. A general
advance on those products of about
two cents pound is anticipated. This,
it is judged, will not be sufficient to in
vite outside competition, while it will
enable the manufacturers to divide be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 yearly be.
tween them.

Before the average person can set the
figures down with a pencil Gardhire
has given the correct answer, and yet
he cannot say how he does it.
He was asked what was the sum total
of 80 times 81, and without repeating
the figures to himself Gardhire an-
swered off-hand $685." GLOW much, !"
asked some one, "is sol times 32?"
Without stopping a second Gardhirere-
piled "16,032." And thus for over half
an hour numbers We're thrown at him
and he gave the correct multiplication
likeaflash In the multiplication of frac-
tions the man is equally proficient, and
there seems no limit to his powers,
which are almost occult.
Gardhire cannot remember when he
first became aware Of his power, and
does not even know how he discovered
it. He says that when the figures are
given to him he sees their answer i'm
mediately. Simply by glancing at a
long line of figures he can tell immedi-
ately what the addition is.

TO RUN NIGHT AND DAY.

Unusual Activity ut Arsenal mt Wa
terto,vn, Mass.
The Watertown arsenal has Just COM
menced to run night and day Maj.
james w. Reilly, the commandant, de-
cided on this course and has been pre-
pairing for night work for several
months, and the plan of running the
immense gun carriage plant 1G hours
u day will be tried. The most impor-
tant step in connection with the night
work is the selection of gang of men
to operate the machines. AT first only
a few of the largest machines will be
operated, and men now working days
will be selected for the work. Green
hands, although they may be the finest
of mechanics, cannot take the work
as left by the day hands and carry it
on during the night, because they are
not familiar with the drawings or with
the work. For this reason it will be
several weeks before the plant will be
in full blast at night as we'll as dur
ing the day, or until Maj. Reilly has
selected a night gang which will be
composed of men as skilled as those
now employed days.
