BORROWE'S BOLD TASK.
Gotham Butterfly Now Cares For a
Gelatine Gun.

New York, June 16-Among the
Roosevelt rough riders their way to
invade Cuba is Hallett Alsop- Borrowe,
who has care of the gelatine gun. The
bursting charge for it's shells is gela-
tine. It's power is greater than that of
guns charged with any other explo-
siVe. To take care of the gelatine gun
is to be smoking a pipe near a barrel
of gunpowder. That is what HalIett
AlsOp Borrowe does. Nobody else would
assume the dangerous duty.
BorrOwe formerly lived in London or
in Paris, doing nothing. He was well
dressed, frivolous, inactive. He was
impersonally elegant. nothing more.
When his name that his father, Samuel
Borrowe, had made estimable, appear
ed in print it was attached to a scan
dial. Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton, who was
John Jacob Astor's sister, was left in
London by her husband four years ago
and sued for divorce. In connection
Borrowe was challenged to fight duel.
He declined to accept.
He went to Bernardsville, N. j.,
where, in order to become acquainted
with the business of the Consolidated
Traction company, he worked in every
department of it, to the extreme of
driving a street car. He became an es-
teemed man of business. Austin Cor
bins daughter became his wife. She
was in the hotel at Tampa while the
rough riders were there, receiving from
him every attention that his military
service did not claim. Mrs. Borrowers
admiration for her husband is absolute.

PORTABLE BREASTWORKS,
Protection for Army Raiders of Rifle
Pits in Cuba.

Washington, June 16.-Two hundred
portable protective shields for use by
the invading army of the United States
in Cuba for raiding rife pits have been
manufactured in this city and will be
shipped to Tampa.
The portable breastworks," as the
affairs are dubbed by the workmen en-
gagged on them, consist of two large
wooden wheels at either end of a wood
en- axle about feet long. To this axle
is attached a 20 foot ladder, the ladder
being fastened about Is inches from one
of it's ends. The ladder is used as a
lever for the shield, which is fastened
to the short prOtruding end, while the
longer portion of the climbing appara-
tus is used as the means of pushing the
affair along. With the steel plate in
front of them, proof against all infant
ry bullets, it is believed that a small
detachment OF soldiers will be enabled
to take a rifle pit filled with men. 1t is
to avoid the raking fire of the sharp
shooters that the shield is designed and
is to be used. Once adjacent to the pit
works the ladder is let gothic shield
tween the wheels and beneath the axle.
while the ladder is brought to a per-
pendicular position. 1t may now be
used for scaling purposes.
The shields are very simple, indeed,
and We're made comparatively rough in
order that the plans may be followed
and new shields constructed by soldiers
in the field. The shield has been tested
and found to be absolutely bullet-proOf
although small machine gun would
doubtless play havoc with 1t. One of
the steel shields has been shipped to
Washington and an entire portable
protector, which has something the APP
pearance, in construction, of the bat
tering ram of olden days, has been set
up, to be inspected by the army author
tiles tomorrow. The order for the ma
and they were all completed within the
specified time.

chance admirers, but such has been the
case with Miss Fidela Casual, who was
married Thursday morning to Augustin
Blamire.

before the marriage, enamored of each
other. and after securing the services of

cupied her time by making herself agree
able to the numerous patrons of the place
and Turing them by her sweet smiles and
pleasing ways to pay 50 for four-bit wine,
she receiving certain per cent of the
money thus obtained by the house. That
she must have been eminently successful
in securing the elusive dollar for herself
and employer is evident from the short
time ii took her to win Mr.. Blamire.

the Features.

Chicago, June 16.-Peculiar complica-
tions have arisen out of a divorce
granted in favor of P. G. Jensen a few
months ago. Jensen had previously
given his wife a diamond ring valued
at $3.50. After the separation Mrs. Jen-
sen took the ring to a pawnshop and $40
was loaned on it.
Charles Spairen, it Is said, gained
Mrs. Jensen's confidence by champion
ing her side in the divorce case and
when he playfulIy took her purse a
week ago and returned it Immediately
the woman thought nothing of the mat
ter. Last Friday she missed the pawn
ticket from the purse and went at once
to the paWnshop to stop payment on
the ticket. She was informed that two
men had presented the ticket on Thurs
day and were given the ring.
A description of the men was given
and Sparien, who was identified as one,
was arrested Saturday. Through him
the ring was tracked back to Mr.. Jen-
sens attorney. Justice Kersten contin-
ued the case until June 10.
