Some New Rifles.

Mr.. Henry Brewer, representing the
Winchester Fire Arms Company, was
a passengers for Shanghai by the
Gaelic He goes to Orient to display,
explain and introduce the new 1897
models of navy and army rifles turned
out by his concern.
While in Honolulu, Mr.. Brewer called
upon Minister Cooper and exhibited to
that official the new life destroyers.
Mr.. Cooper called in Captain w. E.
Wall and Mr.. F. S. Dodge of the Sharp
shooters Company to examine the
guns and the ammunition. There were
in the lot two 36-caliber navy and one
3O-caliber army rifles. All carried a
long steel-cipper bullet.
The bullets will pierce through five
inches of plank, and will easily so
through an ordinary bulk-head. In
the hands of Sharpshooters the guns
would be exceedingly valuable, espe-
cially as they have a long and accurate
range. They are put up after Lee
pattern. which, also, Mr.. Brewers
house was instrumental in bringing to
the attention of the army and navy.
1t is not unlikely that sample OF the
new rife will be ordered for expert
ment here.

corLDN,T FooL WITH HE.

When Vivekanandi. the Hindu monk,
visited Chicago during the Worlds Fair,
he was greatly delighted one afternoon to
learn that the international Beauty
Show" on the Midway Plisance. contained
an East Indian princess. He lost no time
in visiting the show In one of the booths
was a dusky damsel arrayed in East In
dian costume. and prominently placrded
as charmer from the land of the Ganges.
Vivekanandi addressed her politely in
Hindustanee and for his pains was reward
ed by a look of blank astonishment Then
he tried Cingalese with no better success,
and also the several allied dialects of the
interior provinces of India. At last the
dusky beauty spoke in self defense:
Go way, man" she said, you mus be
crazy"
in faultless English but where will you
kindly inform me where you were born. -
Use born in Savannah. and Use dun
lived in Georgia all my life she said. but
YOU can't fool wid me. II yos stuck-up

do so.-Chicago Times Herald.
