Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, Is
said to be the longest street in the
world. extending. as it does, for seven
teen and one-half miles. The shortest
street is the Rue Bile, Paris, which is
thirty feet long. Havana has the mar
rowest street in the world in the Via
Sol, which is only three and one-half
feet wide. Main street, Denver, is be-
lieved to be the highest street, and
Main street, Georgetown, Demerara,
the lowest street. The most crowded
street is probably the Rua do Ouvidor,
in Rio de Janeiro. This narrow thor
oughfare is as crowded at all times as
Nassau street, New York, in the bust

or wheeled vehicle is allowed to enter
it. 1t is lined with houses painted
white. blue, pink, yellow and other

SHARPSHOOTER DUEL.
A GRAPHIC STORY OF THE CIVIL
WAR.
How the Fatal Reign of ~Suredeath's"
Gun Was Ended-An Early Morning
BattIe-A Little Girls Letter-Haster-
mans Order.
ESPECIAL Letter.l

At Lincoln. Neb., lives a man named
Masterman. now nearing his Goth year,
who acted as a guard at the marriage
of Queen Victoria and who fought as
a sharpshooter in the Union ranks dur
ing the civil war. 1t was while the
war was raging along the southern
boundary of Tennessee that the wing
of the army in which Masterman be-
longed was sorely beset by the enemy's
sharpshooters. Most of these Confed-
crate ri1emen were well known to the
Union soldiers. There was some pc
culiarity in mode of operation or sound
Of the gun which distinguished one
from the other, and as time went along
glimpses of them were caught, so that
even the rank and file of the Federal
soldiers had a good idea of what these
dangerous men were like.
One Of them was dubbed 'tSuredeath,' .
and there was good reason for giving
him the name. He was the prince of
the Confederate sharpshooters. At any
hour of the day the clear crack of his
rifle might sound, and the men always
locked to see who the victim was, for
there was always one either killed out
right or mortally wounded. One even
ing the colonel sent an orderly to the
company quarters with instructions Tor
Masterman to report at once at his
tent

Sergeant" said the colonel, "this
man 'Suredeath' must be stopped. Not
a day passes but he gets some of our
men. The next thing he'll do will be
to kill the general himself. Now, I'm
going to depend upon you-do you IN
derstand-upon you to silence that
murderous grin of his
Masterman went back to his quarters
turning the situation in his mind. He
was acquainted with the habits Of the
Confederate, for he had tried to bag
h>m before this time. He made up his
mind that the following day would see
the end of either ''Suredeath" or him
self. He told his son, who slept near,
of his orders from the colonel and his
determination. He gave the young man
a few trinkets to take home as keep
sakes in case he did not return, crept
, under his shelter tent and slept like
a log.
He awoke in the early morning be-

Masterman caught a fitting glimpse
of his enemy creeping along the
ground, but no shot offered itself.
'Suredeath" was safely stationed in a
tree before the Union man again found
out where he was The familiar sound
OF his gun and the smoke floating
away from the tree then disclosed his
whereabouts. Masterman watched
closely After a time he saw the muz-

from beyond theleaves. The man was

advantage, for after a shot he could
change his PETITION slightly, while his

Carelessness was Lucky.

Bernard Lauth went to work in a
Pittsburg rolling mill when he was
IL years old, and at 80, by industry
and frugality, he had become manager
and part owner of a small iron plant
One day, in examining some iron
which, it was thought, a careless work
man had spoiled in rolling, he found,
to his surprise, that the supposed
worthless iron was superior in many
respects to that produced by the best
equipped mills, says Success. Lauth
said nothing, but at once began to
search for the cause of the singular
change The result of his own expert
ments, and his workman's careless
ness, was what is known among iron
men as the cold rolled process. In
consequence of his discovery his small
plant in a few years had grown into
a mammoth establishment and he and
his partners were millionaires.

FRANCE WILL LEAD THE WAY.
Likely to Be First to Use Wireless TeIe
graphy Extensively.


The French government is likely to
be the first in the world to adopt the
wireless system of telegraphy on an
extensive scale. Encouraged by the
helpfulness of the system to the Brit
ish army in South Africa and by the
results of the experiments made by
the prince of Monaco, trance has de-
termined to take steps in tentative
way to introduce the system into the
African colonies. Arrangements have
been made to carry out the expert
ments simultaneously both in the
moist tropical regions and in the dry
Sahara. The work is to be advanced
only so far as it's success seems to be
assured between the stations where
the apparatus is placed The expert
ments in the moist tropical regions
will begin in Senegambia and GabCon,
on the west coast CT Africa. They will
be under the charge of M. Magne, di-
rector of the postal and Geographic
service in the French west coast col
onies. He has recently left France
with apparatus sufficient to equip sew
eral stations, His first endeavor vii!
be to establish wireless communica-
lions between Rufisque and Goree. The
latter town is a mile and a half from
DaKar, the excellent port of Senegal
where large ocean vessels ride safely
in deep and smooth water and where
the Atlantic cable from Europe first
reaches the mainland. About twenty
miles to the east is Rutisque, separated
from Goree only by water surface
Magnes second experiment will be fur
Their south in the still more humid eli
mate of Gaboon, where he will test
the practicability of the wireless sys
tenn between Libreville and Denis.
These towns, about twenty-five miles
apart, are also separated only by
water surface, the purpose being ii
both these experiments to have the
most favorable conditions as to surface
and thus be able to study under the
best circumstances the meteorological
influences that may determine the
practicability of the system in trop-
ical Africa. If wireless telegraphy
proves to be a success at these sta
lions the next step will be to extend
it inland.-Chicago Chronicle.

D1pes.
London Letter.

High society of the old world fur
nishes for the great mass of humanity
outside the exclusive inner circle fav-
ored by those whose titles distinguish
them from the ordinary mortal many
choice sensations The extraordinary
happenings in which the names of
princes and princesses, lords, dukes,
duehesses and others high in the So
cial scale are concerned are of great
interest to the lay mind as showing
that. however exalted a position the
person may hold in a land where class
es are greatly in evidence, he IS but
human and not invulnerable to the
sins with which those less favored by
birth are .beset. The latest sensation,
which has set all London talking, has
been furnished by a woman whose OPP
erations with all sorts of men, peers,
generals dignitaries of the church and
diplomats, stamp her as possessed OF
an unusual lack of good morals as well
as an unusual power over those whom
she wishes to crafty her desires. She
is Mrs. Howard kingscote, daughter
of Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, and
she has had a remarkable career. On
the himsiest pretexts she has induced
men whose shrewdness in the business
worl~ has made their names prominent
in the circles of trade to loan her vast
sums of money, and when they APP
pealed to the courts to reimburse them
she would laugh them to scorn- Mrs.
Kingscote courts a sensation, and
to produce one will resort to almost
any. means. Now she has turned her
literary ability to account and has
published a book in which she holds
her dupes up % ridicule. AS among
them are Lord Byron, Lord Burton
and the Duke of Cambridge, the publ
cation has produced more than rip
pie in the social sea.
Has Extraordinary Power.
Mrs. Kingscote has an eX -raordinary
power, her victims claiming it to be
an hypnotic influence, which gives her,
it would seem, complete control over
another's faculties and compels him to
do her bidding. This, it is claimed, she
has acquired from personal study and
observation in the east, and also it is
due partly to atavism. Her paternal
grandfather, Joseph Wolff, was He

Drew by birth and faith. Becoming
converted to Christianity, he volun
teered as a missionary to serve in m
dia. Many years he passed in the
northern mountain ranges of India,
and there he acquired that mysterious
eastern knowledge of forcing men and
women to do his will, an art of which
Europe and America possess only
very small knowledge under the name
of hypnotism. Wolff was a man whose
face was unattractive, body misshap
en-, and general appearance repulsive.
Yet, presumably by the exercise of his
will power he compelled the daugh-
ter of the Earl of Oxford, one of the
most gifted, beautiful and wealthy
debutantes of the year, to lay both her
hand and fortune at his feet
AS a result OF their union two sons
were born, the elder of whom is en-
