AT LAW OVER A HORSE.
A Horse Trade in Which David
Harum Didn't Have Hand.

A rather unusual case wasA tried in
Magistrate Jones' Court yesterday. E. A.
Massart, the plaintiff. was given a horse
last July by the defendant, F. M Kelly,
because. though the horse came of valua-
BILE stock, it was sick and in a bad way
generally. and. as the plaintiff asserts.
Kelly claimed that he had neither the
money to get the horse medical attention
nor for that matter food.
Massart after receiving the horse, gave
the attention that the animal needed ana
after spending several hundred dollars got
ii in condition. He had entered IL for the
races at Thunderbot and the an NAL was
quartered out there when yesterday Kelly
took it and brought it to town. A pos
sessory warrant was taken out, the horse
taken into the custody Of the court, and
both the defendant and plalntin given a
hearing. The decision was for the plain

DOUBLE SESSIONS WORK WELL.
Report to the Board of Education
Will show Good Results.

The first week of the public schools in
the new term passed off well, the attend
ance being well up with the average This
was true of the schools that have their
sessions in the afternoon as well as of
those the children attend during the fore
noon. The reports for the weeks attend
ance that We're turned in by the school
principals to Mr.. Ashmore, the superin-
tendent, show that Chatham School No. l,
and Chatham School No. 2, are right up
with the others. it being quite apparent
that there is no disposition on the part
of parents to remove their children from
school merely because it is more incon-
venient for them at attend the afternoon
sessions.
In one way the removal of the Chatham
schools to the Cathedral and the Massie
Schools was an advantage, as it enabled
the superintendent to make room for
few more children who have been waiting
for admission The waiting list has been
considerably reduced, about twenty-five
children having been admitted. Mr.. Ash
more aScertained that there We're more
seats in some of the rooms in the build
ings to which the children were transferr-
ed than there were in the cor
responding rooms in the Academy
and places We're thus afforded for
weeks trial of the system of, double
sessions will be made known to the Board
of Education at the meeting tomorrow
night. Another matter upon which he will
report is that of the school furniture that
was damaged or destroyed by the fire. The
property was owned by the board, which
also had it insured. An adjustment will
be reached and the money used to pay
for the new desks that were ordered by
Superintendent Ashmore.
Mr. Lee Roy Myers is chairman of a
committee that was appointed some
months ago to consider the plans for the
new school building that is to be built
on Wells Square. The committee has been
at work and report will be made. Just
what the board will see fit to do is not
known. but it is presumed that some ac-
ton will be taken looking toward the
prosecution of the work. Preliminary
steps must be taken, but it is believed it
will not be great while before the build
ing is actually started.

Ironc'ad Fever
sier's Magazine.

From Casser's Magazine
 Probably the most striking event in the history of naval architecture is the substi- tuition of metal for wood as material for ships. The Monitor, in the days of the American civil war, not only demonstrat- ed the advantages of iron over wood for purposes of war, and revolutionized the methods of naval architecture, but also furnished a marked example of how sanitary ideas in shipbuilding have had their birth. In the fight between the Mon itor and Merrimac it was found that there was not sufficient air in the turreted steamer for the crew, and that the suffo- eating gases generated by the explosion of gun powder found their way below and rendered it practically impossible for the men to work. Necessity, therefore, com pelled the introduction of some apparatus for artificial ventilation. The old methods in vogue for hundreds of years had been retained, even under the new conditions and but for the striking exhibition of direct interference with fighting capacity would have remained for many years longer.
 It was in the early ironclads that a pe- culiar disease developed which, being con- fined to those vessels, was soon designated ironclad fever. In this affection the initial symptoms were much like those of typhus, but in a short time severe occipital pain was followed by complete aphonia, and this by coma and death. The introduction of ventilating appliances caused the dis appearance of this singular disease, and in time these metal boxes, almost antirely submerged came to be regarded as prob ably the most salubrious vessels afoat.

WOMAN AND SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the Woman's club was held yesterday afternoon in the head quarters of the club in the Commercial club building, and was largely attended. The meeting was perhaps the most inter- esting in the history of the organization, the reports of the officers giving a com plete resume of the work of the year
 The meeting was called to order by Mrs. R. H. Pearson, the president, who briefly reviewed the work of her administration, noting the progress that had been made in the various departments and the splendid results which had been obtained.
 After disposing of routine business the election of officers was taken up, and re- suited as follows:
 President-Mrs. Zach P. Smith,
 First Vice President-Mrs. George c. Ball.
 Second Vice President-Mrs. M. J. Gregg.
 Third Vice President-Mrs. w. E. Sorsby.
 Recording Secretary-Afrs James Bruce.
 Corresponding Secretary-Mrs. Solon Ja- cobs.
 Treasurer-Mrs. ". P. McCrossin.
 Auditor-Mrs. James A. Kirk.
 Director-Mrs. w. B. Leedy.
 Correspondent-Aiss Annie K Walker.
 The following resolution, which was n- troduced by Mrs. J. Morgan Smith was auopteu Dy rising vote: Be it resolved:
 l. That the Womans club in meeting as- sembled gives cordial and sincere thanks to Mrs. R. H. Pearson for her invaluable service as president from the date of the organization of the club to the present l time We realize that to her untiring, in- | telligent and wise care is due the success l of the club, and the fact that it has been | a potential factor in the accomplishment of necessary measures for our city's bene- fit and the welI-being of her citizenship. 9 That we will set apart certain day of the club year to be known as "Our First Presidents Day." to be observed with such exercises as the club may direct

 On motion Mrs. Pearson was also made an ex-officio member of the board of con- trol of the club.

THE POMPOM
A Dangerous Gun Which Fires 200
 Times Minute

From London Public Opinion.
 The pompom, which has been used by the enemy on the Modder river Spion Kop and elsewhere is most interesting weapon. It is an automatic Maxim gun, firing a one-pound shell at the rate of about 300 a minute. It differs from the ordinary rifle calibre Maxim in being larg- er in having a hydraulic cylinder to con trol the energy of recoil and in having two springs instead of one, to return the recoiling portions of the gun to their places. The front half of the gun beyond the shield is the barrel casing This is kept full of water in order to keep the barrel cool. The remainder of the gun be- hind the shield is known as the breech casting. It contains the feed block, through which the cartridges, which are held eross- ways in a belt, are fed one by one into the gun. The force that does all the work is the recoil, which drives the barrel back and also forces the lock to the rear. While doing this work the recoil congresses two springs, one of which forces the barrel to the front again and the other the lock.
 The force of the recoil is able to do far more work than is entailed in unloading and reloading the gun, if it were not given some other occupation it would abuse it's strength by knocking the gun to bits. Therefore, to control the recoil and to give it a harmless job to do the barrel, when it recois, is made to force a loosely fitting piston in a cylinder full O. liquid. This com pels the liquid to squeeze past the edge of the piston and the cylinder, which is so constructed that all the spare energy of the cylinder which thus uses up the surplus re- coil is at the rear end of the breech casing
 The cartridges are like overgrown rifle cartridges; they are about six inches long, but instead of having bullets they each have an iron shell loaded with powder and provided with a percussion fuse, which ex- plodes the missile when it strikes anything
 Each shell breaks up into from ten to twenty pieces so that a minutes continu- ous firing would cause at least 5000 whiz- zing, jagged bits of iron to fly about the enemy's position. Our only experience of the gun on service has been to act as a target for it in the present war. This em-

nently practical trial has taught us that when used at moderate ranges-say, with in 5000 yards-the moral effect is immense, and the material damage done is consider able. There is no weapon our men have greater respect for. Shells from field guns give you a little breathing time between their bursts at any particular place, but the pompom sends a stream of shells five a second to the same destination. Some of these guns have been sent out recently for our army in South Africa, but no mention has appeared yet of their having been in action.
