Young Men of Washington of Good
Habits said to he Anxious to
Set Up Housekeeping.

Five hundred good looking, healthy,
Industrious young women for wives
are wanted by as many desirable
young men of good appearance and
habits and steady workers in King
and Pierce counties, and Tacoma and
Seattle, Wash.
This information comes in letter
to the postmaster Of Plymouth, Pa,
from James Evans, former resident
of that place. lie evidently appreci-
ntes the merits of the home product,
for he says: 81 know there must
be some good looking, healthy poor
girls of neat and tidy habits in your
vicinity who want good home in
the finest state in the union with
young men of merit"
Mr.. Evans is not particular as to
nationality, but expresses a prefer
ence for Welsh, English, or Ger
man girl, and says that there are
500 young men longing for partners
from the Quaker state.

MONSTER GUN SHIPPED.
Giant Coast Defender lis Sent from
Wntervliet Arsenal TO sandy
Hook Proving Grounds.

The 1G-inch coast defense gun, which
was manufactured at the Wateryliet
arsenal, has been shipped to the Sandy
Hook proving grounds. The largest
crane in the world had to be pressed
into service to load the gun on the
boat.
Under the direction of Col. Farley,
commandant at the arsenal, the gun
was loaded or specially constructed
car weighing 34,270 pounds and slowly
moved to the arsenal dock, where, by
means of the crane and a mammoth
derrick, it was swung onto the barge.
The following are the dimensions of
this great weapon of coast defense:
Length over all. 40 feet 20 inches;
diameter at breech, 5 feet; bore, 16
inches. Its construction was begun
May IA, 1S9S, and it was finished June
~. 1902. Some faint idea Of its power
can be obtained by the statement that
it shoots a projectile weighing 1870
pounds a distance of 81 miles. If
smokeless powder is used it will re-
quire $40 pounds, or about 900 pounds
of black powder. The crude steel
from which the gun was assembled
weighed 3GSOO0 pounds. 1t has cost,
in material. labor, and machinery,
about Sl5O,000.

NEVER so CRUEL GOVERNMENT
Ambassador White Declares Treat
ment of Hebrews In Roumania
Not Eaunlled In History.

A private letter written by AmbaS-
sador White to Henry Seligman of
Frankfort-on-theMain regarding the
treatment of Hebrews in Roumania
appears in the Frank .urter Icitung.
The letter. which was not intended
for present publication. is in part as
follows:
"The'Roumanian atrocities are SIM
ply monstrous and startle the civil
lied world. | have just received the
Roumanian bulletin. No document
equals it in cruelty since the series
of laws with which Louis XIV. per-
secuted the IIuguenots. But even
these. which have hitherto been re-
garded as the acme of cruelty, are
exceeded by those in the Bulletin.
cannot believe that right-thinking
Roumanians or the civilized powers
can allow this condition of things
to continue. II appears to be open
defiance of law, justice and common
decency."

story of How Little bouquet

1t was said the desk of Mr.. Cannon
in the house contained the first bunch
of flowers that had appeared there on
an opening day in all his quarter cen
fury of service. The story of the en-
ception explained the violation of the
rule. "Those flowers" said Mr.. Can
non, "wrre sent here by little girl
from Illinois. | got place for her
in Washington some years ago. She
was recently married, and hence this
bouquet. When she first came on
here she was so grateful that she
wanted to send up something of this
kind on the opening day of congress,
but | got wind of it and told her not
to do so. VIII never have on my desk
flowers from anybody for whom have
got position, and they all understand
it. But after she left the service she
wrote me a note saying that the rule
could no longer apply"
