Paper Cannons.

To add to the number of astonish-
ing things that are made of paper,
Krupp, the great German manufac-
turer of cannors, has lately com-
pleted number of paper field pieces
for the use of the German infantry. .
Their calibre is FIVE centimetress,
or little less than two inches; and
the pieces are so light that one SOL
dier can easily carry one. But the
resistance is greater than that of a
field piece of steel of the same cali:
bre.
1t is not to be expected that thee
pepper guns will replace those Of steel.
They are intended for use in situa-
tions where the movement of field
artillery would be impracticable.
Paper artillery on the field of bat
tie seems a most extraordinary
thing, but it is hardly more so than
paper wheels for freight cars on rail-
ways appeared when they were first
introduction, for that matter,
than paper waterpails were.

Need Have No Fears.

Something has been said about an
effort on the part Of the Spanish
government to secure some guarar-
tee from the United States that the
lives and property Of Spanish citizens
in conquered territory shall be cared
for. The idea of the administration
is that no such pledge or guarantee
is necessary. Assuming sovereignty
over conquered territory and exer,
cising it either through civil admin
istration, as will be the case with
Porto Rico in the end, or through
military goyernorship, as we'll be the
case in Cuba, for an indefinite time,
the United States assumes a strict
obligation to protect the lives, inter
ests and property of all citizens Of
all stations, and it must be remem-
bered that when the treaty of pc
is signed the citizens of Spain, now
enemies, will be in that category.

A Girls Brother.

Two girls were walking behind me
and one said to the other, after re-
counting a series of misdeeds CON-
mitted by some dreadful boy.
"Aren't brothers just horrid, and
don't they do mean things?"
May brother doesn't do mean
things said the other girl promptly
enough.
That was all I heard, but what
pleasant picture it gave me Of a home
where the brother never did mean
things, and where the sister was loyal
euough to defend him from unjust
criticism. And what happy mother
there must be in that home where
the children love each other in their
deeds.

a Florida Hurricane.
II Sweeps the West Coast and Does
Considerable Damage.

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. / Specials
to The Times Union and Citizen in
dicate that a hurricane of unusual
severity swept the Gulf coast OF
Florida yesterday. The storm had
all the characteristics of genuine
West Indian cyclone. Il was first
reported at Tampa on Tuesday,
where it grazad the coast, but caused
sufficient wind to detain steamers in
port. A wrecking barge in charge
of c. E. Hardester was set adrlft,
and Mr.. Hardester, 20 miles out ir
the bay, deserted the barge and took
refuge upon beacon, where he
remained is hours without food or
water until rescued.
The storm evidently pursued a
northwesternly course before making
a recurve, for it was next reported
between Apalachicola and Saint Ter
esa, Just south of Tallahassee.
At Apalabcicola the velocity of the
wind reach as high as so miles. -Four
tugs and many small craft were sunk.
Houses were unroofed and almost
every tree in the town leveled.
At Chipley negro church and
several other buildings were blown
down and thousands of acres of tur-
pentine forest leveled.
At Tallahassee, Saint Teresa, Mari
anna and Curyville considerable dam
ace was done to houses, fences and
trees, as we'll as to corn and cotton.
A deluge of rain fell. The wind first
blew from the northeast, but shifted
around the compass reaching furi5
Gus velocity on the shift. ;
Telegraph wires are all down in
west Florida and details are meager,
but so fur as learned there were NO
casualties.

Unfortunate MullhOland.

William Mullholand, the young man
who was shot by Gideon Logan while
burglarizihg the latters store in Tee
garden two weeks ago, died at the
county jail shortly after II o'clock Mon
day. Everything possible has been
done by Sheriff Marshall and his good
wife and the attending physicians to
save the life of this unfortunate young
man, but to no avail.
Logan's shot, while not aimed with
murderous intent. cut short the life of
one whose talents might have made
him prosperous and useful had the
young man so decreed it. Being out
of work, he, like many others. said this
world owed him living and he pro-
posed to get it. He entered Logan's
store at midnight for the purpose of
taking that which did not belong to
him, and as result met his death
wound. Sheriff Marshall received a
