BUSINESS DOESN'T MIX.
Cigar and Restaurant Men at Outs
With Jointists-

Several restaurant keepers and cigar
dealers are bitter against the jointists
and are glad to see the places being
closed up by the police.
The reason is that several joints are
operated in connection with restau-
rants and cigar stores which detracts
from the legitimate business. A rest
aurant keeper said today: Il don't
care particularly about the joints run
ming if they will stick to the joint bus
mess but when they run in connection
with a lunch counter it ruins our trade
We simply can not compete with them.
Before this state of affairs commenced

The legitimate cigar and toOacco
dealers make the same complaint. At
one time two joints were run in con-
nection with barber shops. The local
BARRIERS union took the matter up and
as a result a first-class barber shop

BIG GUN AT SANDY HOOK.
Location of the Most Powerful Weap-
on Ever Forged Decided Upon.

New York, April 25.-The war depart
n1ent has decided TO mount at Sandy
Hook the largest gun ever forged in the
world This is the great 126-ton rife
now at Watervliet. N. Y. 1t is not
only the longest and heaviest gun ever
built. but 1t is the most powerful
When the great weapon was designed
several years ago it was the idea of
Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance, that it
should be mounted on Romer Shoals.
On this site the gun would have COM
pIete command of the channel. The
war department, however. believes that
the Sandy Hook position offers all the
advantages of the Romer Shoals site
1t is proposed to place the gun in a
Gruson turret. The plates will have an
average thickness of thirty-three inches
of chilled cast iron.
The Gruson turret will be dome
shaped and will lie close to the ground.
All that will be visible OF the great gun
will be the muzzle.
The cost of the turret, emplacement,
and machinery at Sandy Hook is esti
mated at 81 500 600. The gun alone costs
about $4,000. The cost of the turret
alone is placed at 81, 800, 600.

I suppose these ages-these
frightful crimes-make the same i'm
preston on my mind that they do on
the minds of all civilized people.
know of no words strong enough. bitter
enough, to express my indignation and
horror.
These horrors were Derpetrated in
the name of justice The savages who
did these things belong to the superior
race. They are citizens of the great re-
public. And yet it does not seem pos
sibIe that such fiends are human beings
They are a disgrace to our country and
the human race. Let me say that what
I have said is fattery compared with
what 1 feel. When think of the other
Iynching-of the poor man mutilated and
hanged without the slightest evidence
of the negro who said that these muir
ders would be avenged and who was
brutalIy murdered for the utterance OF
a natural feeling-I am utterly at a loss
for words.
Are the white people insane? Has
mercy fed? Has the United States no
power to protect citizen2 A nation
that can not or will not protect its citf-
zens in time of peace has no right to
ask its citizens to protect it in time
of war.
