bine twenty-four. 1t has a pistol grip

Its calibre is thirty. This rife has an
extreme range of $500 yards, and a
killing range of 1000. At that distance.

quite enough force to kill, IL the bull

1t Will shoot through fifty inches of
pine. The bullet for war is full
mantled, with a fine outer skin of cop
per or nickel That for game shooting
Is only half mantled, leaving the lead
point exposed so that it opens back or
mushrooms when it strikes. For deer,
elk and bears there can be no better

small orifice where 1t enters, the ex-
pansion causes 1t to tear a hole as
large as a mans finger when II makes
its exit. Travelling at the rate of 1000
feet a second the force of this bullets
blow is tremendous. There has been
much discussion over the Dum-Dum
bullet. 1t is a soft-pointed missile, but
by no means so deadly or destructive
as is this Haenel- -Mannlicher bullet
which the Beers are using. If it strikes
at close range, or 1000 yards or under,
and does not flatten, the Mannlicher
bullet bores a hole right through
bone without splintering. But when it
upsets the shock is terrible. The bull

that the Beers are using the soft
pointed bullet in their deadly Haenel-
Mannlichers.

SOLDIERS PRAISED

The behavior of the American SOL
diers in far east has attracted atten-
tion in all parts of the world. SO
recent as just before the outbreak of
the Transvaal war the Daily Mail Of
Grahamstown, Cape Colony, in an ap-
preciative editorial on THE American
Troops in Manila" said:
"Ore lesson taught by the struggle
in the Philippine archipelago is the
amazing fortitude Of the American
troops. Practically every man in the
volunteer forces has been under fire.
almost continuously since Feb. 4, and
in addition to constant lighting, has
never had a moments freedom from
anxiety as to possible manoeuvres of
skulking, willy foes, who know every
inch Of the country, and know how to
take advantage of it's potcntiolities.
The lines have been so long that it has
been necessary to keep every regiment
TO the front. The regulars have had al
most the same experience but not quite
so much of 1t. If the campaign has
demonstrated nothing else it has shown
the marvellous staying powers of Uncle
Sans troops suddenly transferred to
the tropics"

Sullivan Coal Belt.

The following extract is from the
Sullivan Gazette, DushOre, Pa: "W
w. Jackson of this town is putting a
drift into the coal lands of the heirs
of the late Hon George d. Jackson, and
building a road to the new opening
We are fully convinced from expert
ments made that this coal, when intro
duced into the markets, will prove to
be far superior to the coal from the
other mines along the valley, being
free from slate and harder" From
the article 1t would appear that capital
lists have been investigating and in
spectng the property with a view OF
leasing the lands to extensively de-
velop the coal.
"The Jacksons have 40 acres Of land
in one block, under which there is a
four-foot and an eight-foot vein, mak-
ing twelve feet Of coal, which has been
demonstrated by several openings and
tests made with diamond drill. At the
usual basis Of reckoning there are at
least 100000 tons of anthracite coal Of
q superior quality"

Plans of the Lehigh Valley.

"The regular monthly meeting OF the
Iehigh Valley Railroad company. was
held in this city yesterday" says the
Philadelphia Press. president Wal
ters, of the company, was seen after
the meeting and was asked if the COM
pany would continue to keep on spend
ing large sums of money for the i'm
provement of the road and making the
necessary alterations. He replied that
for some tin e large sums of money
would be expended. and it would not
cease until everything was in a first
class condition.
IN regard to the anthracite coal
trade he stated that it is in better
shape now than it has been for a
number of years and prices are being
well maintained. All the companies
have more orders than they can fill,
and the mines are being worked to
their fullest capacity. He thought that
there would be a good demand for an
thraCite coal during the winter, and
owing to the scarcity in the east prices
would be stiff.
I'm reply to the question as to what
kind of work the company would do
during the coming year he stated that
most of the money would be expended
on locomotives. relaying tracks, new
Sidings and enlargement of terminals
Radical changes will be made in the
various freight yards. These are to
be enlarged so that facilities for quick
handling of freight will be far superior
to what they are now"

Miners Fooled Again.

Some time ago John Sheath. Of
Mahanoy City chaperoned forty-four
men from that place to Montana,
where they were promised steady work
i'm the mines with wages ranging from
$2,75 per day and upward. When the
party reached Billings, Montana, which
is forty miles from the scene of the
mines, they were met by a labor or
gan2ation leader.
He informed the men that a strike
was in progress at Beecher, where the
mines are located, and to avoid trouble
they should not go to work when they
reached their destination. The organ
izers information was correct The
men reached there and refused to go to
work and are now trying to obtain en-
ployment at other work.

tween HOnesdale and Carbondale will
be fully equipped and the large yellow
coaches running over it by Jan. l. 1900
Early in January a through car will be
run each way between Honesdale and
Wilkes Barre.
Some five miles of the heavy rails
have already been laid west of Far

track layers putting in the heavy rails
between Honesdale and Waymart. A
turntable siXty-fve feet in diameter is
to be Dut in at the lower end of the

THE PUNGENT GREEN PEPPER.

= ".
The basketfuls of green peppers sng-
gest all sorts OF good things to the house
keeper and makes her sigh that she
cannot keep this most useful vegetable
within reach the year round, says the
New York Evening Post. Combined
with also any "left.over," the green
pepper possesses possibilities tor an un-
limited number Of appetizing dishes.
If the small ends are cut off and the
seeds removed the peppers may he fill
ed with creamed salmon or creamed
chicken and served hot for luncheon,
or they may be filed with bits of Gel
cry or cabbage, mixed with msyonaise,
chilled, and served as a salad on let
tuce leaves. They may also be cut
into rather large bits, fried in olive oil,
and served with chicken ss vegetable,
or, cut rather small, may be added to
chicken mince TO its great improve
ment.
Perhaps in no way do peppers con.
tribute more pleasantly of their pun
geut flavor than when 5teWei with to-
matoes and bit of Onions to smooth
consistency before being folded in an
omelet. Any one who has not tried
this dish has ga3tronomic treat yet
ln store. This same mixture may also
be poured over buttered toast and used
as q luncheon dish, with or without
the addition OF eggs, as is preferred.
The eggs, if added, are boiled just suf
tiCiently to hold the whites firm. The
shells are carefully removed and an
egg put on each slice of toast. The
pepper mixture is poured over and
around as sauce. a recipe is scarce
ly necessary for this tomato and pep
per combination, as individual taste
must decide the proper amount OF each
Ingredient. A beginner may take two
peppers to medium-sized tomatoes and
half OF an onion. After removing the
seeds of the peppers, cut all into bits,
add seasoning and simmer for 10 or Is
minutes.

ELECTRICITY IN WATER MAINS
Officials OF the Water Bureau have
discovered that the water main leading
from the Roxborough reservoir, across
Weiss, Mill road, 10 Germantown, hss
become heavily charged with electri-
city, and to that fact have been attribut-
ed the recent numerous breaks, as the
sections of the pipe were found to be
honeycombed to considerable extent.
The electric current is supposed to
come from some underground connec
ton with the feed wires OF the German.
town or Ridge avenue trolley lines.
While repairing break last week on
Weiss road one of the workmen YVES
badly shocked. Assistant Engineer
Fuller had a test made and found
about 40 volts in the pipe. Another
test made yesterday at Ridge and
Shawmont avenues disclosed 200 volts
and one of the workmen had the sole
of his shoe burned and charred while
holding the test wire on the pipes.
Both the Traction Company and the
Wissahickon & Norristown Trolley
Company have been notified to search
for the leak or connection. An en-
ploye of the Wissabickon and Norris
town road admitted that his company
was being benefited by the leak, as he
claimed it came from the Germantown
eud of the pipe. His company, he said,
had saved 100 tons of coal since the
leaking began.
While the Water Bureau officials
claim they will lose considerable by the
pipes being destroyed by the electrical
current they also state that the water
is purer by coming in contract with the
electricity, as all germs and microbes
are killed by the strong charge
