Wheeling Yesterday won a clear-cut
victory from Youngstown, playing the
game without an error, and doing good
work Throughout The attendance was
very fair, and the home teams work
was appreciated from start to finish.
O'Hare, right fielder, met with an ac-
cident late in the game and had to be
taken of the field, Poole taking his
place. Youngstown was not able to
hit Parvin with any effectiveness, while
Wheeling pounded Mcfarland to very
good effect.

cove, five miles from the start and she
lay there for two hours, while her rival
farther out in the Sound picked up a
nice southwest breeze and made the
gain that effectually put Defender out
of the race. Columbia was out beyond
Cuttyhunk before Defender was moved,
over ten miles astern.

The French Onick-firinE Gun.
London Times.

The Pesther-Lloyd has received from
what it describes as trustworthy source the
following interesting particulars respecting
the new French quck-iiring gun. The in
PRODUCTION of this arm has made such rapid
progress for several months past that in all
probability over 4S0 batteries Of the field
artillery will be fully equipped with it dur
ing the coming Spring In round numbers,
this will require 5000 quick-fring guns.
4.5G0 ammunition carts, and 6,O0O other
vehicles
At the beginning of the present year seri-
Gus uneasiness was felt among French artil-
lery officers at the advantage which the
German field artillery was supposed to have
secured, through an improved description of
ordnance 1t turned out later on however,
that the German artillery still retained their
old weapons, and that the adoption of the
new system had probably not been sane
toned, even in principle. In France, ON the
other hand, the preparations for the intro
duction of the new gun had been completed
last Spring.
All that is known of the new quick-fring
gun is that it has n caliber of 10 centimeters
(295 inches), and is capable of discharging
20 shots a minute. The projectile, shrapnel,
has muzzle velocity of 600 meters The
cartridge weighs 6.5 Kilograms. The re-
coil of the gun is greatly reduced by means
of an ingenious contrvance.

10 the reading OF light literature; transla-
tions from the French are the most generally
read. There are but few writers OF fiction
among them of any note.
In nraDy respects they still cling TO the
ideas that were prevalent III the days OF
Spanish chvalTy. For Instance, no Brazilian
white woman is found in any of the various
employments in which we frequently find
women of refinement and education en-
gagged in the United States. She never,
under any circumstances travels alone; If
she does she is considered to he woman OF
abandoned character. She is accompanied
on the very few journeys she finds it
necessary 20 make by her father husband
brother, or some very near relative. The
same rule of propriety will not permit her TO
promenade the street for the purpose of
visiting or shopping except she is in the
company of some other woman, who may be
q member of her family or an intimate ac-
quaintance
Viewing the sphere of woman in that coun-
try from the standpoint of the new woman
in this country, we are compelled TO admit
she is placed under unnecessary restrictions.
Social intercourse among the young is limited
by strict rules governing their conduct in all
good families; in fact, these rules virtually
amount 10 a prohibition of any freedom OF
conduct between the sexes. The only op.
portunities they ever have of meeting are al
the numerous balls which it is the custom oi
the clubs and occasionally of private families
TO give, where young woman is under the
eye Of her mother or chaperon She dances
and occasionally exchanges few words with
