are the associations it has had with
the many noted men who made their
homes on its banks. The sanctity Of

and in this locality every village has q

women visiting not far from Peekskill
made inquiries as to whether there was
anybody in that tneighberhood who had
known Irving. They were informed
that little way back in the country
resided man who had lived near
Irving, and who had probably met
him. The young women resolved to
make the journey. They found the
place, beautifully kept farm. and
when they stood on the porch and
peeped through window they saw n
man reading near table on which
was number of mathematical instru.

but they summoned up their courage
and knocked. To their request for a
drink OF water he responded 10y simply
handing them glass and pointing to
the well. Cndaunted in her quest of

Hurtful monopoly is usually gained
in one of two ways: Either by govern
ment favor in the form of Legislative ad-
vantages, or by railroad discrimination
in the form of special rates or rebates.
Usually both advantages are enjoyed.
If the states visited severe penalties
upon railroads guilty of discrimina-
tions and upon corporations and indi-
viduals entering into combinations to
regulate production or prices, the trusts
and monopolies would be badly Grip
pied. The monopoly combinations
could be almost weeded out of the
states by the enforcement of the prin-
ciples of common law. Let congress,
in addition to making laws to prevent
the operation of trusts within the
scope of federal authority, adopt the
rule that every article handled by
trust or combination shall be placed on
the free list and the corner stone OF
monopoly will be knocked ont. If the

OF COURSE, NOT.

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 17.-Abe Stei-
berger, member of the executive COM
mittee of the National Reform press
association, has given out a letter
which Senator Marion Butler is said to
have written to a member of the ma
tional committee, who, it seems is a
middle-of- the-road Populist and not in
sympathy with the views of Senator
Butler. The senator is said to have
written as follows:
ALLOW me to suggest that what
would be better than a conference, but
would be better also than a meeting
of the national committee at this time,
would be for every Populist editor in
Kansas and Nebraska to attend the

Memphis Feb. %. Vandervoort, Wat
son and their crowd intend to try to
use this meeting of the Reform Press

THE LATEST MAXIM GUN.
It Fires at the Enormous Rate of
$50 Rounds a Minute.
And Yet the Weapon Weighs But twenty
Five Pounds. and Is Mounted on
Tripot Weighing Fifteen-Its
Practical Utility.

If, as you have occasionally been told,
the man who makes warfare more ter
rible is at the same time lessening the
chances of its outbreak among civilized
nations, Mr.. Hiram s. Maxim should
be regarded as having a prescriptive
right to an honorary vice presidency of
the Peace society. Here you have a por-
trait of his new light automatic gun.
The weapon weighs but 25 pounds, and
is mounted ON q tripod weighing Is.
1t fires at the enormous rate of 600
rounds a minute, and has made as many
as 90 per cent. of hits at 1000 yards.
1t may be packed in n knapsack, with
tripod, spare lock, spare parts, and inn
plements, and carried on a mans back,
the total weight being 531a pounds.
Or it may be packed for the use of cav
airy. The weight is then Sc pounds,
the gun being carried on the right side
of the horse, the ammunition on the
other. The enormous utility of a
weapon of this sort, says London Black

take on the borders of her possessions
in India and in Africa, is too obvious to

In 1Ss3-s4 Mr.. Maxim conducted .ex-
haustive experiments to ascertain the
best possible system of making an auto
matte gun and took out patents on vari-
Gus systems. OF these the three leading
ideas may be described in the creators

Ministerial Council Decides To Leave
The Pacification OF The Island
To The Powers.

Constantinople, Feb. i.-Copyright-
ed by Associated Press.-The council
of ministers, as a result of an all day
session at Yldiz Kiosk yesterday de-
cided to leave the pacification of Crete
to the powers This is regarded as
wise decision in face of the most COM
plicated situation in Crete, where the
flags of Russia, France, Great Britain,
Italy and Austria are flying alongside
the Turkish standard, while Greece is
seemingly defying the powers. The
ministerial council also decided to SEND
Karathedori Pasha to Crete as 1mpe-
rial high commissioner to adopt mill
tary measures on the Greek frontier.
AS previously intimated, 1t was also
decided to appoint Marshal Edham
Pasha. who directed operations against
the insurgents of Zeitoun in '96,to COM
mand the Turkish troops at Flassoda,
and call out redifs (first reserves) OF
the third army corps, which are now
at Salonika. These measures, how
ever, are for purely defensive purpos-
es and are taken in order to enable
the Turkish government to be prepared
for all enventualities. In spite of this
peaceful outlook it is known that the
debarkation of the Greeks for Crete
caused a great sensation at Yldiz XII
osk and it required the use of much
tact on the part of the ambassadors
to prevail upon the porte to accept
the situation as now presented.
