home with the little girl. We were all
going upstairs to hide in the garnet when
the shooting commenced. There were few
single shots and then a volley. l did not
hear any shots after the volley.''
stephen Guttenmiller gave the first evil
deEce to substantiate the assertion of the
defense that a man stood behind the line of
deputies and urged the strikers on. He
said: .! Was driving from West Hazleton
to I-atttmer and got there just as the dep
uties lined up along the roadside. I stood
some little distance behind them and saw
the strikers come up. AS they approached
He was a big fellow and had no coat on.

strikers to come on. They did so. After
stepping moment with the sheriff they

was no Shooting
On cross-examination. he said many men
were lying dead and wounded in the road
and he saw one of the latter trying to rise,
WEereupon two men, who he thought
were deputies, kicked him.
John Wolfe, a conductor on the trolley
read, said he saw the strikers near Har-
ley's Hotel. just at the entrance to Lattf-
mer. They were armed with clubs, some
large. others small.
George Name of Hazleton was at Latti-
mer on the day of the shooting and heard
the firing. He described it as "a single
shot, then two. then lot like the roll of a
drum, ending with few scattered shots.
1t lasted about half a minute"
Mr.. Name said that he was with the
sheriff at Crystal Ridge a few days be-
fore the shooting, and saw the sheriff dis
rerse a number of strikers. AS they went
away one cried: Wen come back tonight
to burn the breaker"
Mrs Katharine Craig, whose house Is
near the spot where the shooting occurred
at Lattimer, saw the sheriff advance, to
stop the strikers.
They pushed and pulled him around
she said, land crowded past him and went
toward the deputies Then became fright

boys. One Of them ran to the window and
cried: oh, mamma, they are killing the
sheriff.! The shooting commenced about
that time. There were few scattered
shots, then volley When it was all over
the deputies came to my house for water
and linen for the wounded men. That
night We heard the strikers were coming to

MIR. BARLEY INVITED HERE.
Chicago Man Who Has Discovered a
High Explosive.

EApAoshSS.
CHICAGO, February 2S-The Chronicle
says: William S. barley of Chicago in
ventor of 'rnirex, one Of the most powerful
explosives known to naval warfare, has
been invited to visit Washington and
demonstrate the powers of the product to
Secretary Long and his associates.
Fifty pounds of 'mirex' are said to be
as effective as five times that amount Of
gun cotton. Mr.. barley first attracted the
attention of naval experts two months ago
by his experiments in Chicago harbor. The
new explosive only serves the purpose of its
invention when 1t is thrown into water.
On land it is harmless and cannot be ex-
plcded."

What Privateering Means.

Here is working definition of priya
teering, term which we hear often ii
these days of maritime warfare.
Privateering is conducted thus: A
license is issued to a certain person
having some opportunities to conduct
a sort Of sea guerrilla warfare. He
ships number of able-bodied fighting
men, and under the authority granted
In what are called letters of marque
and reprsal these seamen seize ships
flying the enemy's colors or ships of
neutral nations carrying contraband OF
war.
If a private individual does this with
out having the letters Of marque and
reprlsal, he is not a privateer, but a
pirate.
Since April, 1856, Austria, France,
Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, Sardinia
and Turkey have abolished privateer-
Ing as a cruel and indefensible prac-
tice. The United States, Spain and
Mexico, however, have never signed
the treaty containing this statement.

bed and proceeded to carefully drive
the brass-headed nail into the sacred
walls of the Annapolis Naval Academy.
He then hung the framed text on the
nail and stood back, with his head on
one side, to see if the text was hung
up straight.
At this moment one of the officers,
who had heard the pounding on the
wall, entered the room, and, on seeing
the text, suffered a shock that almost
rendered him speechless. Finally he
managed to gasp an indignant order to
the new cadet to Take that thing
down"
What thing?" demanded Evans,
with his hands in his pockets and his
chin advanced.
"That-that picture thing" splutter-
ed the officer
"'Tisn't picture" said Evans, con-
vincingy.
Take it down." roared the officer.
go to blazes!" retorted Evans.
I The young official looked at the
stockily built figure Of the champion Of
the text and decided that dignity might
be compromised if he tried to PERSONAL
ly enforce his command. So he re-
ported the matter to the officer of the
day. The officer of the day called
Evans before him, explained that Or
ders at Annapolis must be obeyed, and
directed the new cadet to return to his
room and at once take down the text.
Evans politely but firmly said that his
mother had given him the text and
asked him to hang it up. He said that
he had hung the text up and intended
to have it remain there as long as he
was pupil at the academy.
Accordingly the matter was referred
to the Navy Department, and an as
sistant to an notwithstanding of the
navy wrote to Evans, commanding him
to at once obey the rules Of the insti-
tuition and remove the text.
While all these things were going
on Evans had written to his father and
him with the circumstances
the hanglng-up of the
text. Evans father, staunch
told his son to stand by
his guns-or, rather, his text-and
added the advice that, if his son was
to take down the text, he
should Immediately pack his trunk and
come home. In the midst of his in
dignations Mr.. Evans, ST., told the
church people about it.
That settled it. The leaders of the
church communicated with Congress-
men in general and especially with the
who had appointed
Evans to the Annapolis Academy.
Then the trouble reached a head. The
church members held an indignation,
meeting and some hints Of the matter
got into the newspapers. The Con-
yressman asked questions in the House
