belle Flame, Nlnn.-MrS. Ann hlVel

county, on Saturday night, March 30,
at the advanced age Of over so years.
She had been feeble for many years
from the effects of old age. Deceased

James and Dominick, and two daugh-
ters, Miss Winnifred and Mrs. Thos
Nealy, the latter two residing in ST.

church of the above parish and was
largely attended by the many old sett-
lers and neighbors Of Mrs. Nancy"
Kivcl, the name she was probably bet
ter known by.
Shakopee Tribune: James Sullivan,
mayor-elect Of this city, was born at
New Castle, Ind, on September 4, 1857,
and came to Minnesota in 1868. He
was married in 1882 to Miss Bridget
c. Regan, of Dakota county, and re-
moved to Shakopee that same year:
hence for nearly twenty years he has
been a resident of the city which has
now honored him with the highest Of
flee within it's gift. During his youth
he was engaged in farming, and for
three years taught school. He was
clerk of Eagle Creek town in 1881, and
in 1883 he was elected treasurer of
Scott county, which office he held con-
tinuously until 1896. He is now owner

ments. Mr.. Sullivan is a member Of
the school board in the Union district,
and takes an active part in all matters
that tend to the bttterment of the city.
Judging his future official conduct by
the past, there can be no doubt of the
bcncticcnt effects of his administra-
tion.

A Chinase Choir.

A church choir, complete in all it's parts and composed exclusively of Chi nese vocalists, accompanied on the or gan by a young Chinese matron, is one of the unique practical sights and re- suits of Christian effort in San Fran cisco. Of course it has required years to accomplish this result, but in those years the zeal and hope of Rev. I. M. Condit and his missionary wife have known neither hickering nor wavering. As result, Dr. Condit presides Sun day after Sunday at the services in the Presbyterian church on Stockton street; Chinese congregation com. posed of men, women, children and in- fants in arms attend for worship, and HOW sufficient advance has been made to have the music of the service rem dered by Q double quartette of male and female voices.

in the UnIted States service. TKe hr. gest of these had an eight and len inch bore and were cast hollow and cooled from the interior on the Rod man plan. They were strengthened by shrinking coiled band of, wrought iron over that portion of the gun which surrounds the powder charge. The eight-inch Parrott rifle fired an elon. gated projectile weighing 150 pounds with a charge of sixteen pounds of black powder. The ten-inch rife fired 250 pound elongated prejectile with twenty-five pounds Of powder.
 Inside of the main Government build. ing will be exhibited the machine guns of all kinds, including the automatic gun now being used by the United States Army in the Philippines and China; also several hundred small arms, showing the development of these arms from the match lock-, wheel lock, flint lock and percussion cap lock to the breechloadirg magazine small arms of today.

GREAT GUNS AT
 PAN=AMERICAN
Uncle Sam Will Show Mammoth Coast Defenders at the
 Buffalo Exposition.

It has sometimes been said by un-
 thinking people that the seacoast cities
 of the United States are not well de-
 tended. A flood of new light will be let
 into such gloomy minds by the Ord
 nance exhibit of the War Department at the Pan-American Exposition. When the Exposition opens for its six months season at Buffalo on May l of this year, the early visitor will find the largest and most powerful guardians of our seacoasts ever exhibited by the United States Government. Even the
 smaller of the two great new guns in the Government exhibit at the Exposi- ton will be larger than any ever before displayed by our Uncle Samuel.
 Captain Peter c. Harris, who repre- sents the War Department, in charge of the entire war exhibit, has been en- gagged actively for months upon his great work of collecting the newest dis play of the kind ever made in this country. It was an absurd question perhaps that I asked when I inquired if his exhibits would be ready on May 1, as though there were any other al- formative for soldier. The Captain looked reprovingly at me.
 But of the guns great guns. indeed; big around as locomotive boiler, thir- ty odd feet long. with Q more savage muzzle than ever coughed destruction upon any hostile fleet; built with the accuracy of q watch; so delicate in ad- justment that little finger may trav- erse the gun. thus moving q weight of nearly half million pounds, yet q ma chine to spout volcano blast and to create an earthquake at the will of man!
 The big gun of which speak is D United States Army twelve inch breechloading rifie model of 1895, mounted upon disappearing carriage. Its weight, stripped of everything, even the breech block, is 115,000 pounds. It's total length is SC SS-100 feet. The maximum diameter at the breech is 44.5 inches. It throws an Rrmor piercing shot weighing 1000 pounds, the length of which is three and one half feet. It also throws pro- jectile, an armor piercing shell weighing 1000 pounds, four feet long, carrying n 0QA6lAhS %AA]A 5C VI 0Os1 RCoAoS OA 0 hAA cotton. The charge of powder is 240 pounds of smokeless or 490 pounds of brown prismatic powder. The muzzle velocity of the projectiles under the above conditions is 2.30O feet per sec ond, with maximum pressure per square inch of 37.o0O pounds. The muzzle energy is S6.671 foot tons. The power Of penetration in steel at the muzzle is S0.9 inches, at 1000 yards 2S.5 inches, at 2.500 yards 25.5 inches and at $500 yards 23.5 inches. The total weight of the gun and carriage is ATT, ,959 pounds. The carriage is twen- ty-five feet in diameter at the base, and the gun when in firing position is seventeen feet above the base of the carriage. When the shot is fired, the recoil causes the mechanism to lower the gun seven and one-half feet, be- hind the parapet. The gun has an ac- curacy of aim for about eight miles. and the extreme range is about double that distance.
 As ! have said. guns of this type have Fever before been exhibited by the United States Government, and

models of engineering work, both mill itary and those constructed by our Engineer Corps in the river and harbor work. Among the latter will be mod els of the breakwater being construct ed in Buffalo harbor. A very inter- esting collection of models of engineer ing work on the Mississippi River win also be displayed. Two of the Missls- sippl models-the Hydraulic Dredging Plant and Hydraulic Grader-were given the grand prize in the recent Paris exposition. ..--s...
 In the Signal section of the War De- partment exhibit will be displayed all instruments and appliances used in communication by flag. helioeraph, wire, telegraph. cable and by wireless telegraphy. Wireless telegraphy will be in operation at all times during the Exposition, one station being located at the Government building on the grounds and the other station some miles away, probably at Fort Porter.
 The Military Academy at West Point has never been represented at any pre- vious exposition. A very complete and interesting exhibit, showing history. curriculum, plant of the Academy, it's work and workings, will constitute part of the War Department exhibit. The inclosure of the West Point ex- hibit will have the form and appear ance of regular cadet barracks, the top of the partition showing battle ments, with tower at each corner. A committee of professors of the Military Academy has been appointed by tho superintendent of the Academy to pre- pare this exhibit. O. W. Larned, Pro- lessor of Drawing, who Is member of the committee, has recently sent Cap tain Harris plan of this feature.
 Tn the Quartermaster's section will be shown paintings. photographs and drawings illustrating the Army Trans port service. Uniforms of the army at different periods from the Revolution to the present day will be exhibited on about forty lay, figures.
 The entire exhibit of the War De- partment under Captain Harris will be of most entertaining character, as the Captain has visited all the arsenals, of the country, gathering such things as to him seemed of public interest, and value in order to make an entirely new and attractive exhibit.

COURT WILL RETURN
The Chinese Government is
Going Home
GREAT PREPARATION MADE
People Can ill Afford the I'm
menSe Cost


PelSin, Oct. ,. 2.-Dispatches from
Sianfu announce that the Chinese
court is preparing to start about Oct.
9Th. The temporary palace there is
being dismantled and all the furnish
ings will be carried for use en- route.
The officials sand servants will con-
stitute caravan numbering from
5000 to 1000 persons, with l POO carts
and several thousands of horses and
mules that have been collected in the
Sianfu district.
Two parties of officials have already
started to make preparations along
the line. The towns through which
the court will pass are engaged in
decorating temporary palaces and
collecting supplies. The emperor, or
the empress dowger in his name, has
issued an edict strictly commanding
the officials to pay for all supplies.
The native papers report that sew
eral eunuchs have been beheaded for
practicing extortion upon the people.
An imperial edict commands Ii Hung
Chang, as governor of the province of
Chi Ii, to borrow 700, 900 taels from
the other provinces to defray the ex
penses Of the courts Journey. Special
taxes are being levied, which the peo-
pie, already impoverished by ban
dints, foreign punitive expeditions
and missionary indemnities, are i'll
able TO afford.
Ii Hung Chang said today; "The
court will certainly arrive in Pekin
within two months"
Despite such official statements,
many foreign officials here believe the
empress dowager fears the foreign
troops are kept to entrap and punish
her, and their theory is that she will
pass the winter in Kai-Yuen-Fu, send
ing the emperor TO Pekin.
The continual broadside of reform
edicts is the topic of much varied com
ment, The best able to Judge of their
sincerity of effectiveness withhold
judgement. Prince Ching, conversing
with foreign officials today, asserted
that the emperor and the empire IS
dowager were agreed as to the nee
essity of changing the Chinese me-
thods of government, and that steps
for the enforcement of edicts would be
