| lively.
| The great artillery lesson of the war
| has been that very heavy and powerful
guns can be made much more mobile
than we, or, indeed, any other European
nation, had contemplated as feasible.
Our forces were, when they first took
the field, provided with the same class
of gun (Whether the very best of it's
class it matters not for the moment) as
that of the field artillery in France,
Germany or Russia, and they found
themselves confronted by fortress guns
which were hauled from one tactical
position to another with astonishing
ease. Our generals had practically to-
attack fortresses with only field equip
ment. Fortunately our ever ready navy
was able in measure to save the situa-
ton But now we-and all the world
have learned that a proportion Of very
heavy guns must accompany field
army in all its maneuyres.
| Our horse artillery must remain as
agile as ever for it will still have to
accompany cavalry, but the armament
of some of our present field artillery will
be changed for guns Of greatly in
creased weight and Importance, which
will travel at leisurely pace, but will
be capable Of moving quite fast enough
to cover infantry manoeuvres. The
horses will be bigger and more massive,
and the teams will be increased from
six to eight, or possibly more, but field
guns that can crush all opposition and
that have considerable mobility, are I'M
questionably ecessity.-London Mail.

REFoRMERs BEHrAbED.
Cruelty of the Chinese Empress Dow
age1 II shookingIy Illus =
trnted. q; H.

When the emperor Of China abdt-
Gated two years ago, forced to that
action by the empress dowager the
latter had an opportunity to display
her sanguinary despotism, and she Inn
proved 1t to the utmost. Six Of the re-
formers who had been held RESPONSE
BILE for their too precipitate method
OF recognizing the government Of the
empire lost their heads, and some 300
others We're marked out for slaughter.
The numbers of the prescribed have
been considerably swelled by those
who got up the petition against the
emperor's dethronement. That this
was deliberately planned does not adj
NIT OF a doubt, though the empress
dowager did leave herself the loophole
by means of which she escaped the
consequences of her own somewhat
rash design. The child who was Sc
looted to succeed the present emperor,
and who is still his official successor.
was designated as the heir of Tune-
Chih, the emperor who died twenty
tive years ago, and not Of KuangS Hsu.
BY this action 1t was proposed to blot
out the latter from the list Of emper-
ors OF China, and the year beginning
with the s1st Of January last would
have been known as the first year of
whatever dyuastic title should be se-
lected for the siS-year-old son Of
Prince Tuan.

HIS FIRST FIRE ASSIGNMENT
The Excuse Given by New Reporte,
for NeElecting His
Duty.

SAY, hustle down to the stoclSyards
right away" said the city editor to
the new reporter, says the Chicago
Chronicle. There's fire down there.
1t may turn into something big, but
even II 1t doesn't we want good Ut
tie story on it anyhow"
The new reporter shot out of the
door, with perspiration starting at
every pore. The fire did not turn out
to be q great confagration, SO no
moro reporters were sent down to the
yards to take care Of it. The city
editor depended upon his new man for
the story. But for some unaccount-
able reason the reporter failed to re-
turn to the Office and the paper had
to go to press without the account of
the fire.
The next day about noon the new
man strolled leisurely into the office
entirely unprepared for the thunder
storm that broke over his head as
soon as the city editor caught sight
Of him.
Say, what the dickens is the mat
ter with you anyhow" said the edit
or. "Why didn't you write up that
fire that 1 told YOU to?"
why" gasped the youth, there
wasn't any use to write 1T up, every
body was there and saw It,"

CALLING A MAN A LIAR.
Question Under Discussion in New
York Stock Exchange as to When
1t IL safe to Do So,

"A grave question has arisen on the
New York stock exchange as to wheth-
er 1t is punishable offense to call
man liar when the epithet is qualified
that he is only liar between $3.50 p.
m. and 10 a. m. This, according to the
claims Of James A. Taylor, does not in
any way reflect upon the veracity of q
member In his business capacity.
Frederick 7. Bonecou, of Cox & Sharp,
80 Broad street, declares that 1t makes
no difference whether the epithet is
qualified or not.
The committee of arrangements and
the board OF governors have gravely
sat upon the question seyera, times
The original controversy took place
about D week ago, just after the closing
OF the exchange. There had been q
great deal OF excitement around the
Atchison post. in which both Mr.. Tay-
lor and Mr.. Bontecou participated.
There was some dispute over the clos
ing quotation, and Mr.. Bontecou ac-
oused Mr.. Taylor of closing the stock
one-eighth above the actual price of the
last sale. Mr.. Taylor's retort, accord
Ing to the charge, was that Mr.. Bonte-
cou was q Lar between the hours of
$3.50 p, m. and 10 a. m.
Mr.. Bontecou contends that Mr.. Tay-
lor's threat was merely an evasion of
the strict law OF the exchange, which
forhids members calling each other
liars or crooks between the hours of
10 a. m. and $3.50 p. m.

KNEW ALL ABOUT GUNS.
"Piet" Joubert Astonished All Hear.
ers, Including IIrupp the
Famous Himself.

An American woman tells of visit
she and some friends paid to the
Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany,
years ago, and of encountering Peter
Joubert before he thought Of going
to South Africa. The woman was the
guest Of the American ambassador
and his wife, and at the works they
We're met by Krupp himself. In max.
ing their tour Of tho arsenal they
were Joined by man who followed
through each department., and in o
few moments responded to a casual
question about guns from one OF the
party. Once having spoken he
launched forth into such detailed de-
scriptions of their manufacture that
Krupp, who had hitherto been talk
ing, kept still and simply followed as
one of the auditors. The man accom-
panied the party, explaining as he
went, until the tour had been made.
Then he bowed and retired.
"Who is that man who knows SO
much about guns?" demanded one of
the party.
"Oh. that's a Dutchman named
Pete Joubert," replied one of the off,
cials.

CAPITOL rs TORN UP.
House Where Congress Meets Being
Thoroughly Overhauled.
Should a Special Session of That Body
De Necessary in the Next Three
Months There Would be No
Place to Meet.

If 1t should become necessary to
call an extra session OF congress that
body would have to find other quarters
than the capitol in which to hold its
sessions This building is now in full
possession of a large corps of me-
shanics and it will require three or
four months steady work to put it
in shape for occupancy. The senate
chamber and the hall of the house arc
being renovated.
AL the carpets, desks, chairs and
other furniture has been removed
from these two famous halls and are
scattered through the corridors in a
most negligent manner. Work of all
kind is being done, such as installing
new machinery, elevators, replacing
worn-out floors, gas and electric fix
lures, and painting.
The rotunda resembles a room that
has been wrecked by dynamite. 1t is
filled with old furniture, debris and
hundreds of huge pieces Of timber
have been laid on the floor to protect
1t from injury while the work of re-
pairing is in progress. These timbers
are necessary for the use of the trucks
used'in. disposing of the material taken
from the original Congressional IL
brary, which is being converted into
committee rooms and reference IL
brary.
When this work 1s finished there will
be library near at hand for the con-
venience of the senators and repre-.
sentatives, who have complained of
the delay in securing books from the
congressional library beyond the CAPT
tol plaza. There will also be 90 COM
mittee rooms in the space formerly
used as q library, half OF which will
be assigned to the senator's and mem
bers. When congress reconvenes 1t
will find a great deal has been done in

REASONS FOR REFUSING.
Capriciou. Women Who Preferred
No Lovers to Those They Had
Accepted.

A young woman of Birmingham,
England, became betrothed last sum
mer to young solicitor, preliminaries
were arranged and the fond couple
only awaited the arrival home of the
bridegroo1h's father from a lengthy
sojourn in America to be made one.
In due course he came, but when the
bride beheld one who, while he would
have easily qualified for "fat man"
at fair, asserted that in his son he
once again beheld himself in youth,
she refused to fulfill her promise, and
now seeks lover to whom the future
does not threaten such ample proper
tions.
Some years since lady was en-
gagged to gentleman who bore the
name and was relation of certain
gallant soldier, who, q month previous
to the date appointed for the cere-
mony, while on service abroad had
the misfortune to meet with severe
reverse. No sooner did the news come
to hand than the lady, member of
whose family had been wounded in
the disastrous action, declined, unless
he should promise to change his
name, to become his wife. To this
caprice the gentleman refused to sub
NIT. SO the match fell through.

ROGERS KEPT HIS WORD.
A Promise Made When boy Was
Faithfully Fulfilled in Aft
er Years.

Fairhaven, Mass, has guardian an
gel in the person of Henry Rogers, one
Of the Standard OIL magnates, says the
Chicago Chronicle. 1t was there he was
born and there as boy he earned his
first money carrying newspapers. To-
day Fairhaven boasts of library and q
town hall--gifts outright from him
and on the principal street stands an
ideal building, the Rogers school.
This structure is the fulflllment Of
a pledge made years ago, when Mr..
Rogers was a small, serious-minded
boy, who delighted to sit in the COM
pany of older people. 1t was in the gro
Gerry store one day that he sentaPed to
remark that he thought FatahaRen
ought to have a new school.
To those who listened new school
meant increased taxes.
WALL" drolled out the spokesman,
II think SO too; why don't you build
one? You might save up for starter"
There was n chorus of "haw, haws"
as the small boy slid off the top of the
barrel to the floor and then drew him
self up red and Hlrning. "Tll do it,"
he said, land I'll give some of you peo-
pie the chance to put the furniture in it
when it's finished"
The episode ended there. The boy
grew, went to Pennsylvania and thence
to Brooklyn. One day it was announced
that Mr.. Rogers was going to build q
school In Fairhaven. When it was fin
ished he went back. On the main street
he met the scoffer of his boyhood.
I'm waiting for that furniture" he
said.
The man laughed sheepishly, but
said nothing.
"Never mind" Mr.. Rogers went on,
y guess I'll put it in myself, but I want
you to be on hand to sec that have
kept my word"

church of New Brunswick, n. j., does

blushed and started singing Annie
Rooney" the only song he knew. They
fined him SIS on general principles.
William Clark recited 'tCurfew Shall

ROYAL ETIQUETTE.
In Spain No Subject Is Ever Permitted
10 Touch the Person of
King.

Old world privilege and res friction
reign supreme in Spain, where there
is law that no subject shall touch
the person of the king or queen, says
the New York Mail aud Express. The
present king of Spain nearly suffered
severe fall from this rule in his
childhood. An aunt of his made him
present of swing. When be used it
for the first time the motion fright
ened him, and he began to cry. Where
upon lackey lifted him quickly
out of it and SO, no doubt, preserved
him from falling. The breach
of etiquette, however, was fla
grant and dreadful. The queen
was obliged to punish it by
dismissing the man from his post. At
the same time she showed her real
feelings on the subject by appointing
him Immediately to another and bet
ter place in the royal household.
In another case queen of Spain
nearly lost her life in dreadful way
owing to this peculiar rule. She had
been thrown when out riding, and, her
LOU catchlnB III the stlfrup, she was
dragged. Her escort would not risk
interference, and she would have been
dashed to pieces but for the heroic IN
terposition of young man who
stopped the horse and released her
from her dangerous position. AS soon
as they saw she was safe her escort
turned to arrest the traitor who dared
to touch the queens foot, but he was
not to be seen. Knowing well the
penalty he had incurred, he made off
at once, fled for his life and did not
stop until he had crossed the frontier.
