Expanding Mauser Bullets.

i'u INV ii'Nlilal
Sir William Stokes, writing on the sub
ject of the Mauser bullet and the wounds
produced by it, points out that, notwith-
standing all that was said in the earlier
stages of the war as to the Mauser being
a merciful and humane weapon. later ex-
perience has gone to show that the in
juries produced by it have been of a much
more serious character than those at first
described. He specially refers TO certain
remarks made by Sir William MacCormac,
MI Treves. Mr.. Dent and others who adj
vocated the desirabiity of mastery in
activity in this department of surgery.
ana goes on to say that his experience in
the Maritzburg military hospitals and in
the general hospital, Moot river, compels
him To hold opinions which differ largely
from the views mentioned. He believes
that the guCzhot wounds met with in the
earlier part of the campaign differed ma
terially in character from those observed
of late, and that the increasing gravity of
the wounds has been the cause of the in
creased difficulty which has arisen in keep
ing them aseptic
This change he attributes to two causes
First. the frequent conversion by the
Beers of the Mauser bullet into an ex-
banding one; either by removing a small
portion of the case from the apex of the
bullet thus converting it into a soft
nosed' one. or by making longitu dnal Sits
round the case. and he adds that when re-
Gently at Ladysmith he got ample evil
dence of he means which were adopted
by the enemy to increase the gravity of
the wounds they inflicted. Secondly, an
other cause for the greater severity of the
wounds observed OF late has been that the
ranges have been much closer than they
were formerly, 1t being clearly established
that the closer the range the more serious
Is the injury likely to be. In illustration
of his conclusions. he gives details of
series Of cases in which such grave in
1nrles were produced by these bullets as

PARIS. July Is. 1900
Two men one Partisan and the other
an American. We're strolling through the
exhibition the other morning. The man
from the United States had devoted three
solid days to an inspection of the great
show. and had seen 1t pretty thoroughly.
As they were passing a mammoth steam
engine in Machinery Hall the American
locked at it for minute and then turned
toward his Companion.
We'll, You are wonders you French"
he said Il used to have an idea that all
You cared about was to amuse yourselves
and that the only trades In which You are
experts were the making Of srimcracks-
paintings. sculpture. women's clothes,
feathers. ribbons etc. fancy things that
the world could get along just as we'll with
out This exhibition has been a revelation
to me. II shows me that you Frenchmen
are the equals of any nation in the prac-
teal things Of life Look at that engine,
for instance. There's no country in the,
world that could produce its superior And
over there in the Champs de Mars is the
Elfel tower the biggest thing ever made
by man
Thank YOU" replied the Frenchman,
mOdeStly- Il am sorry you had such a
poor notion Of US before but | am glad
you have changed your views. | hope lots
Of your people will come TO understand
that We can do big things well as small"
From the mass OF colossal machinery on
the ground floor the men proceeded by 4
wide stairway to a gallery overhead.
Now said the Frenchman. you are GO
ing to see the antipodes of what have
been looking at down there. Everything
on the floor below tells Of the practical
purposes Of life. the mechanical inventions
that enrich the world. Here the whole
aspect is the reverse. This is the depart
ment where sentiment dominates-the SEN
tlment Of charity
Founded by Marbeau.
1t was the part of the exposition reserved
for the exhibit of the ministry of the in
terror. in the particular department known
as public help a large portion of the
section was devoted to the display of the
famous French institution known as the
"Creche." 1t was to this part that the
Partisan led his American friend. Look
around here" he said, ''and you will find
that the French are not always thinking
exclusively Of amusing themselves.

This is the first instance. so far as
has been heard, of an Injunction of
this character bein. issued in the
Southern States.

Injunction" aud in some instances is
considered necessary and salutary.
Judge Hill simply enjoincd the
strikers from threats, intimidation

are satisfied with their wages and

NEGRO EXCURSIONS NOT WANTED

Oceans Springs Progress.
Scranton has had enough of negro
excursions. A big train load OF black,
swooped down from Mobile early in
the week and raised Cain for a day,
Heretofore the town authorities have
tolerated these drunken crowds, but
the people have got enough of it and
are determined to stop further visits.
The Pascagoula Commercial Club at
its meeting Monday night adopted
resolutions condemning the excursions
and calling on the council to pass an
ordinance f%orbidding their stopping / n
the town in the future without per.
mission. The move is certainly a
good one and should be adopted by
all the coast towns.
The excursions leave a little money
IN the towns in which they stop, it is
true, but their visits are always char
actcrized by drunken brawls and Gen.
eral lawlessness, and the harm done
Is much greater than the money
gained Fortunately in the past
Ocean Springs has escaped a visit
from these excursionists, but with
Scranton barred against them they
may seek to come here. Our authori.
ties should therefore take the cue
from our ncighfor and pass a like or
dIlance excluding them from the
town without permission. Ocean
wants visitors, but we don't
want any Mobile negro excursions,

and hunured citizens, in the person OF
Mr., James O'Douohoe, was gathered
To his fathers, after having passed far
beyond the three score Years and ten
allotted as the span Of life for man.
The deceased was born in Rath Var

year 1919, aud was therefore in the
SlsL year Of his age. He came To this
country early in life, having resided in
New Orleans about eight years, after
which he came To Biloxi. Of which
place. he had been a resident for 30
Years, four years Of which time he
served c%reditaply and houorably as one
OF our city c0unci,men. He was a
man OF great force Of character; Of
rugged, unQucstiOned Integrity, and
with the faculty OF making enduring
friendships. Beneath his rugged eX-
terror there was a heart as gentle as
n W0naan's. and a love for his fellow
uusn thUt induced him To do deeds OF
good and CHARITY, Of which no one
knows but himself, the recipients of
ms bounty and his creator. he was
one OF natures nOhlemen, and there
are none but will sorrow at the death
or this noble. good and generous man.
