On Tenth street, on the alley be-

st. Louis paper, stands little frame
house of one story that attracts more
attention from the passers-by than does
the finest residence on the street. Its
attractivenes does not consist entirely
in the clean white curtains that hang
behind the windows, nor in the archi-
lecture of the house, for it's position on
ton would lead to the impression that
it had once been a barn. The magnet
that draws all eyes, however, is an ar

Military Powder.

OF powders now made, there are prob
ably hundred kinds. They may be
divided, however, into three classes
blasting, sporting and military. The
military powders look as little like or
dinary gunpowder as it is possible to
conceive. That intended for the 30
caliber rifles, with their lead-pencil bull
let's and 2,0OO-yard zone of. Rre, is a
very good imitation of clean, yellow,
well-grained sand. Then there is a
powder intended for similar use that is
of reddish brown, and is cut into thin,
minute squares. Powder to be used in
some of the field guns looks like nothing
in the world SO much as sheet glue, one
sixteenth of an inch thick and broken
into irregular bits. The powder for
the Hotchkiss gun is in blocks, one
fourth of an inch square and as solid
as coal. There is spherodical kind,
whose grain is something larger than
an ordinary marble. 1t looks like a bit
of lead, hardened into giobular form.
This is also a feld-piece powder. The
13-dnch guns take the brown prismatic
and the black prismatic. The black,
which is the quicker of the two, is used
merely for purposes of ignition. These
powders are called "prismatic,' be-
cause they are many-sided, like
prism. Each grain has hole through
its center, also an aid to the general
ignition, A grain of these powders is
one inch in height and two inches in cir
cumference. These explosives are of
saltpetre and charcoal bases. They
make much smoke and much noise.-

FROM THE FIRST WARD.

Jackey Kearns says the "0ld Lime
Kiln Club did not give him the shake
but he gave them the go-by. We are
not in a position to know the exact
particulars, but we do know they
"never speak as they pass by" each
other, and that there is pretty bitter
feeling yet existing concerning GER
tain election, and some of the "Old
Lime Kilners' are only too anxious to
retahate, as their grievance warrants
at least such n stand, in their estima-
tion. There is blood in their eye"
and the time will soon come when they
expect to show just how to retaliate.
So we will whistle and wait, and when
we do catch the drift, no doubt there
will be something interesting to
chronicle which will be given for the
benefit of the readers of TnE RECORD.
The work of improvement is being
rapidly pushed at the Rubber Mill and
all efforts are being made for a speedy
start, which they hope to accomplish
now rs soon as possible, and when
once started, no doubt there will be
plenty of work for all the old hands rs
we'll as for some new ones The men
are getting very anxious to get to work
again.

THE SAME OLD GANG.

After so much has been said about
the honorable intentions of the bosses
of the Democratic party III the selec
ton of the Assembly nominees i'll Els
sex county, we naturally expected that
the men chosen would be exceptionally
clean, but the nominations have been
made, and nowhere in the State has
the hand of the old gang of treasury
looters and highbinders been more
plainly shown in the selection of
Legislative ticket.
In the list We find the name of
Mike" Barrett, man who figured
conspicuously in the famous eoal com
bine and the race track deal.
Next comes Jim Connolly, the
ringmaster who controlled the Essex
county delegation with the crack of
his whip in the days when the State
was being robbed and the interests of
the people downtrodden by the Demo
cratic dictators.
Another nominee il Henry c. GLENN,
who was 40 faithful servant of the
old gang that he was rewarded with
several "soft snaps " that the leaders
had to give out.
Next comes the faithful "Jake -
liaussling, who was Sheriff of Essex
county when Grand Juries were 80
lenient with evil doors and so severe
with those who opposed the bosses.
John Dusenberry is another obedient
servant of the bosses who always did
what he was told to do and got the fat
emolument of the Surrogate's Office as
n reward.
And then there is Timothy Scales,
who was willing and humble, and as n
reward for his faithful service to the
gang, was for years made Clerk Of the
Grand Jury.
These are the men who have been Sc
lected by Jim Smith TO represent
the people of Essex county in the Leg
islature next Winter. 1t is II move to
restore the old gang to power. Moth
ing more, nothing less
1t il not likely that the people will
jeopardi2e their interests by electing
them. Stafc GazcHe.

Democrat and earnestly supported Bryan
"Why of course he is Does any one
believe that any other kind of can
didate would have ghost of n show

Never has the Democratic party
offered to its constituents better can
didate for Congress than the Fourth
District presents to it's voters in the
person of Joshua S. Salmon. He is a
life long Democrat and one that did
not desert his party in its hour of need.
Nor did he equiyocate or hesitate, nor
was it necessary for him to be driven
by any party lash to be bearer of the
party banner two years ago. The
broad and honest planks in the plat
form on which William J Bryan made
one of the greatest political campaigns
ever fought in any country on earth,
contained the very principles that
Joshua s. Salmon had advocated

At first the schedule was fixed at 10
days an average of 8 miles an hour
from start to finish. This was cut down
TO days requiring an average speed of
10 miles. The quickest trip made was
i'll carrying President Lincoln's inau-

and II hours, an average speed of 10.7
miles per hour, the fastest time of any
one rider being 1870 miles, from Smiths

in hours and 10 minutes, or lat
miles per hour. Considering the dis
lance and difficulties encountered, such
as hostile Indians, road agents, floods
and snowstorms, and accidents to horses
and riders, the schedule was main
tanned to an astonishing degree. The
