other hack while on the stand and the
horse becoming frightened, slipped it's
bride and started off at break-neck speed
down King street.
The horse turned down Alakea street

trians in pursuit and the rig neatly pluck
ed a BARRIERS pole from the sidewalk in
front of the Occidental hotel. Another
turn was safely negotiated when Hale

undoing and a minute later a handsome
vehicle lay in the gutter. pile of junk
and kindling wood.
The horse broke loose from the har-

THE HOMLIEST MAN.
Mr.. Eddy's Retirement from Congress
Passes the Distinction.

The Brooklyn Eagle Correspond
ent under the caption, ''Homeliest
Man in the House to Retire. pays
bis respects to Congressman Frank
NJ. Eddy of Minnesota as follows:
Representative Frank M. Eddy of
Minnesota has decided not to run
for reelection this fall. In his re-
tirement the house will lose what is
known as the homliest man in that
| body
Many a newly elected representa-
tive, famed throughout his district
for lack of beauty, has gone to Wash
ington with the intention of disput-
ing Mr. Eddy's title, but after look
ing the field over these aspirants
have invariably yielded the palm to
the Minnesota man,
Mr.. Eddy is fully aware that be
is not Appollo or Adonis, but be is
not worried over the failure of ma
ture to endow him with good looks
and comely manners.
It was MIR. Eddy who created
such stir early 10 the session by
declaring that Representatives we're
overpaid and that there we're not a
dozen in the house who could step
into private life and at once COM
mand a salary OF $1,000 a year out
side the halls of congress.
| This announcement got the Min
nesota man into hot water until he
explained that what he wanted to
say was that there were not twelve
men IL the house who could step
into private life and at once COM
mand a salary of So 900 year.
Mr.. Eddy believes that be is one
of the select dozen, for he proposes
to enter the pursuits of business.
The district is largely populated
by a foreign element, and it was
through his ability to control their
votes that Mr.. Eddy has been so
successful in his campaigns.
| He speaks several languages ir-
cluding Swedish, and during the
campaign spends most OF his time
travelling about in a rough garb, ad-
dressing the foreigners wherever
found at their work. His old district
was normally democratic, but Mr.
Eddy has been able to carry it with
out much difficulty.

ARMY POST EXCHANGES.


Washington, Nov. 2l.-Gen. Corbln
and Gen. Young, constituting board
Of officers, will shortly report on the
proposition to establish post ex-
changes at different army posts in
the west. They have an appropria-
ton Of $5O0,O0O for the erection Of
such buildings. The appropriation
was put in the bill as a concession Of
the anti-canteen people. The terms
OF the appropriation are somewhat
vague, but it Is presumed that the
Exchange" will be in q measure club
houses to take the place Of the grog-
shop lounging places and meet the
condition created by the abolition of
the canteen, q condition which Is
complained Of by nearly all Of the Of
fcers in the service who were re-
sponsible for discipline before and
since the abolition Of the canteen.
An investigation has been ordered
which will be conducted by subcom-
mittees in the department to estab-
lish the character Of building and
how many can be erected witL va.
sum available. They will be in most
respects similar to Y. M. c. A. club
rooms or business mems gymnasiums
in many of the larger cities Of the
country. The first one will be erected
at the preside, near San Francisco.
The posts which will be next in order
for this preference will be Forts
Leavenworth and Riley in that order.
The consideration Of posts has not
gone further than these. The Cali
fornla post will be favored because it
is the temporary home of so many
soldiers about to embark on the Pa
cifc transports, who feel the first
pangs OF inconsistencies there.

A Warm Sofa Pillow.

A girl who has recently become en-
gagged has made a sofa pillow, for her
fiances couch that Is a trump for
him, says the Kansas City Star. She
is a very popular girl and her collec-
ton Of letters from men was aston
ishingly large. From her school days
she kept every note and letter that
came to her from her man friends,
whether the communications were of
much or little Importance. Some Of
them had merely accompanied flowers
or a book, others were declarations Of
love and even proposals. AT length
she met the real man and fell In love
with him and the letters lost their
significance. At first she determined
to burn them, then she thought she
would give them to him, but torn in
to such small pieces that he could ney-
er read them, while he would always
have them. They would be TO him
the spoils Of war ard sacrifice from
her to show her surrender and fealty.
She made for them a big cover OF
good, serviceable denim, strong enough
and big enough to hold the love letters
Of lifetime, and filled 1t with burn
ing words well scattered that they
may work no harm. On the cover she
embroidered red roses entwining a
pair Of scarlet hearts from which Is
sued twin scarlet flames. Tho young
man is very proud Of IT, and says that
1t Is the hottest" sofa pillow in town.
But the adjective Is only slang, Of
course.

THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.
Has Never Ridden Out and Spends His
Time in Prayer.

We know that the emperor Of China
has never ridden out walked out or
driven out, as other young men do,
says the Cornhill Magazine. His out
ings have been to pray at the Temple
Of Heaven, to offer sacralfce to the
god Of agriculture, and to pray for
rain. In a great jade palanQuin car
cled by thlrty-two men he has gone
forth, and after long ritual observ-
ances has returned to sit down to a
banquet in the lmmeasurable chamber
Of the hall of abstinence at 4 o'clock
in the morning. Gentlemen In waiting
duly serve his imperial majesty, but
not till they have set up opposite to
him the bronze statue bearing on ito
head the inscription, Abstinence"
When the emperor goes 10 pray for the
harvest he passes the whole day be-
forehand in this same hall of absti-
nence in prayer, fasting and medta-
ton. Yet when he moves out OF his
palace the roads are remade before
him, yellow sand Is sprinkled over
them
All people of the baser sort-that Is,
every one but those who 80 before and
follow after-are ordered to keep with
In doors. The emperor, wearing a
dragon robe and a cap Of ermine sur
mounted by a knob Of crimson velvet,
ascends into his palanquln by a ver-
million fight of steps, held by equer-
ries In waiting. All his bearers wear
robes Of red silk over ash-colored linen,
al their boots are trimmed round the
top with black fur, their caps are Of
leopard skin, dappled with coins Of
gold, and with red velvet plumes kept
in position by gold filigree plates, from
which float yellow feathers down their
backs. The palanquin Is eight feet
high and weighs about one ton sixteen
hundred weight, but, as the Chinese
chronlcler records, "the bearers walk
swiftly under it weight, like lightning
flashes or shooting stars rushing across
the sky"

THE QUICK-FIRING CRAZE.
Like All Good Things They May Go
Too Far.

The Austrian press, including even
the military Journal "Relchswehr."
has been giving prominence to the al
legged invention Of Z remarkable quick.
firing rife, says the London Globe.
This truly wonderful weapon will In
the hands Of q trained soldier" emit
no fewer than 2,700 bullets an hour,
or forty-fve In one minute. Thus in
an engagement which lasted several
hours each soldier could loose of q
carload Of ammunition, II he had It
at bis elbow; and an army Of $4,000
men-a mere handful Of men as con-
tinental armies go-would require Co.,
900 carloads with the firing line In
one serious engagement. For a cam
paign Of invasion each soldier would
require to be followed by a magazine;
and a shell exploding In q company
would produce as many devastating ex-
ploslons as there were men. II, on
the other hand, each soldier marched
with, say, his own 200 rounds, he could
fire them all in less than Ave minutes
and be left without ammunition for
the rest Of the engagement.
Such considerations are, Of course,
extreme; but they show that the ire
ductio ad absurdum" Of quickfrlng
rifles Is easily reached. Even now the
difficulty Is to get enough ammunition
to the firing line and to keep control
Of the fire. II rapidity Of fire Is much
increased without some entirely new
method Of bringing up ammunition the
occasional advantage Of being able to
pour In deadly hail Of bullets for a
minute or two will be dearly purchased
at the cost Of whole brigades perhaps
being rendered "hors de combat" for
want Of ammunition at the beginning
Of fight. What applies to rife fire
applies also to artillery; and the armies
which have been In a hurry to arm
themselves with so-called qulck-hring
artillery before the machinery was per-
feet or the ammunition problem solved
may find themselves In a worse guam
dary than II they had retained their old
weapons.
