He clearly set forth the mistakes made
by Land, Knox and Cromwell in trying
to force q union which was repugnant
to the liberty loving, but that We had
learned by those mistakes; that the
teaching OF the gospel was better UNDER

OF men had overpowered the specula-

laid In Baltimore, by Charles Carroll, OF
Carrollton, who, as Is well known, was

This fact was brought to mind this
week by the removal from the Balti-
more & Ohio treasurer's vault to the
Masonic Temple in Baltimore Of the
Masonic emblems and tools which were
used by General Carroll during the GER
emonles Of laying the corner stone.
They consist of badges, q trowel. a
spade. and a stone cutters hammer,
and also the apron worn by Thomas
Young Nichol, a working stone mason,
who performed the actual labor OF set

: Sticking above the parapet Of the fort
at Willet's Point, Long Island, is a
big coast defence rifle. The muzzle
points up Long Island Sound, and the
position is significant. Back of the
piece are big derrick and a mass of
ropes and pulley blocks. The exposed
rifle is one of the new 8-inch battery
recently put in position at the fort.
All Of the new rifles are mounted on
modern disappearing carriages, and
when ready to be fred remain above
the surface for so short time that it
would puzzle an enemy's ships to To-
cate them. 1t takes only from three to
four seconds to fire one Of them, and
the recoil from the discharge takes
them out of sight. About three min
utes is required to load one of the RI
fles and aim it for another shot. When
in position the guns are deep in their
emplacements, and in order to wreck
them and kill the men operating them
an enemy would have to get the range

COAST OFFENCE GUN AT wILLET's POINT,
, so accurately as to drop a shell into
the emplacement. AS it would be alb
solutely necessary for a hostile war
ship to be continually on the move
while fighting the fort, it would be
difficult for the most expert gunners to
accomplish this feat.
The system for aiming the big guns
before they appear above the parapet
for firing is such that a war ship would
have little if any chance of escaping
shot. The entire Sound above the forts
has been plotted off into squares and
a chart made of the entire space.
This chart, it is asserted, is so mark
ed and arranged that when the officer
on watch reports the plot in which a
hostile ship is located, and the rate of
speed at which she is going the officer
aiming the gun will be able in an in
slant to locate the ship at the moment
of firing and quickly aim the gun to
strike her.
The projectiles for the largest rifles
at the forts weigh 575 pounds each and
will penetrate steel armor fourteen
inches thick at distance of two miles
The 1O-inch rifles are thirty feet long
and weigh thirty tons each. They are
operated by hydraulic power and can
be raised and lowered quickly by one
man

If this should meet the eye of the

that an outrageous confidence game
was played upon him.

M'GlFFIN'S GREAT DESIRE.
The Hero Of YaIu Lonsed to Fight

The Hero OF YaIu Longed to Fight
- Under the stars and stripes.
The war excitement made the men
who knew Capt. Philo McGifin well
think of him regretfully in these days.
He was a born fighter, as he proved
in the battle of the Yalu; and all his
life he longed for chance to put up
good fight for the Stars and Stripes.
I'm not fool enough to wish for
war;" he said, but if Americas bound
to have one, hope it will come in my
day, that's all. My idea of absolute
happiness is to be on a good American
man-of-war with battle on hand and
an enemy worth whipping"
For few years he gave up naval
life and tried to resign himself to stag
nation in little Western town; but
the experiment went hard with him.
The only water near the place was a
miserable little stream that went slid
ing along in disconsolate way. A
foot bridge crossed it on the edge of
the town; and there, leaning over the
railing, staring in a homesick fashion
at the strip of water and putting at his
cigar, the ex-navalman could be found
at almost any hour of the day. Most
of his matter of-fact Western neigh
bors thought 1t was funny, but there
were few who called it pathetic.
When news of the Franco Chinese
trouble came the fighting blood in Nc
Giffin's veins boiled and the West had
to 60 by the board.
I'm dying for the salt water, any,
way" he said, land spelling for fight,
and I'm going to take hand in this
shindy. may never have another
chance, we're so blamed peaceable in
this generation"
He started for China, but the trou-
BILE was ended before he had a chance
to join in, and then fate dropped him
into the place in the Chinese navy
where at last he found the fight he
had been looking for. The Yalu was
hot enough to satisfy even him. Ev-
cry one knows how be fought; and
when, after 1t was all over. he came
home physical wreck and with death |
staring him in the face, he had only
one regret.
1T was great fight" he said to an

To her neighbors the old woman Is
known principally as the keeper of one
OF the kiosks in Central Park, and il
you want to find her you must ask
for her there, because few, if any, OF
her neghbors would ever recognize her
by name.
Some are more observant. An army
veteran once remarked as he saw her

man I'd swear she'd been before the
drill sergeant" And he was nearer the
truth than he knew.
For this woman-gentle and submis-
sive, patient, accomplishing in trou-
BILE, sickness and all the sorrows of liv-
ing against heavy odds-this humble
servitor of the park cottage has played
her part in the history of the country
and taken her share in the preservation
of the Union.
She Is Mrs. Robert G. Brownell.
Speak Of her as Kady Brownel and
scarcely veteran in all New England
but will recognize the name and recall
the deeds with which it is associated.
!. "Comrade" Brownell they call her
down in Providence. That is because
she is member of Silas Howe Grand
Army Post, No. s. To be a member
Of Grand Army post one must have
served and fought in the civil war.
Kady Brownell did both. She is the
only woman ever regularly enlisted in
the army of the Union; the only wo-
man who ever marched to battle side
by side with her brothers in arms.
In her life her 1ecompense is So a
month pension money allowed her by
the Government for her services in the
field.
Neatly framed on the mantelpiece of
her room is a modest little notice in
the handwriting of Major-Gen. Burn
slde~that "kady Brownell, of the Uni
ted States service" had, through her
devotion to the cause of the Union,

Of all officers under whose command
she was placed" and that "she had |
saved many worthy officers and SOL
diers from death"

1t is not probable that any one Of
the hundred poor in the big barrack-

ugliness on the southwest corner Of
st. Nicholas avenue and One Hundred

glance or thought to the stout, COM
Portable, motherly looking woman with
the gentle, placid face and mild blue
eyes who may be seen at dawn making
her way along the street that leads to
the Central Park gate.
Beyond the immaculate neatness Of
her dress, and perhaps an indefinable
air of precision in her carriage, there
is nothing in her appearance that
would suggest anything but the hum
drum struggle to live. And poor peo-
pie, to whom life means the eternal

rows breakfast cannot afford time for
