ling experience Tuesday morning. An oil

scene and, taking the blazing stove in

into the snow below, where it was extin-
guished. The mems hands were burned
slightly, and Mrs. Dodge narrowly escaped

The entertainment given Friday evening
in Armory hall by Senior Feipo Saroni
Cato, under the direction of K. X. Burtin,
for the benefit of Company Ii was deserv-
ing larger audience that was present. The
first part Of the programme included a piano
| recital by Senior Cato. He is essentially a
virtuoso, brilliant, fascinating. and at times
astonishing. His playing has dashing
style that is exceedingly effective in the
composition he most affects His scale
| work is crystalline and pure, and he has
the power to coax the most limpid tones
from the instrument of which he is mas
| ter. This part Of the programme was
worth the price Of admission and gave
genuine pleasure to cultured listeners.
| The illustrated lecture on Cuba was not
wholly satisfactory because OF defective
| lights. 1t was necessary because Of this to
omit altogether the moving pictures.
Lawson q. Cummns has in his possession
genuine Mauser rifle that was picked up
after the battle Of Santiago. 1t was sent to
Mr.. Cummins by III. Il. Patch of East
Fletcher. VT, to be fitted with one of the
celebrated telescopes, manufactured by Mr..
Cummins. With the rifis were sent several
smokeless powder cartridges, for testing
purposes. These cartridges are impore
and are not manufactured in this country.
This weapon loads with five cartridges, is
rapid fire, and shoots with great accuracy.
1t weighs eight pounds, and was manufac-
tured at Berlin, Germany. Mr.. Cummins
had the rifle out Monday morning to test the
telescope sight with which he has equipped
it. A bullet fred from it went through a
green hardwood tree, eighteen inches in
diameter. and was embedded in the frozen
earth beyond. At fifty yards Mr.. Cummins
barely missed an inch BULLS eye with three
successive shots, demonstrating that the
Spanish sharpshooters, armed with these
rifles, could do murderous execution.
