BULLET PROOF VEST RIppIEo.
Invention Of a Chicago Priest Pence
trated by Bullets of SO Caliber.

81. Louis Republic: After w~ithstanding
every other test the so-called bullet-proof
vest invented and woven by the Rev. Cas-
inner Zeglen, a Polish Catholic priest of
st. Stanislaus Catholic church, Chicago,
was penetrated by several bullets from q
3S-caliber military revolver at a public ex-
hibition I'm Brooklyn:
Before the tests wee begun c. w.
Ryder, who represented the inventor, said
Father Zegien was unable to be present.
1t was lucky for the inventor that he was
not inside his sample vest when Effng-
ham Wilson, the noted pistol shot, fired
at It, for II he had been members of St.
Stanislaus church would be mourning the
death of their pastor.
Three of the bullets cut clean holes
through the supposed bullet-proof cloth
and imbedded themselves I'm the rolls of
carpet against which the rest was placed.
The garment had been Pretty thoroughly
pounded by bullets in a former test.
Thinking that possibly this had weakened
its power of resistance, a new piece Of
the cloth was hung up. The 3S-caliber
weapon sent three bullets whizzing
through its meshes as they would have
penetrated a common 15-Cent vest.
Bullets from all the other weapons used
either fattenod themselves I'm the web OF
the cloth or fell TO the floor after the i'm
pact. These include all the different cali
Der bullets from % TO II.
The test, which was public, took place
in the hall above the Montauk theater,
and was witnessed by about 100 men.
DR.. Ashley a. Weber, the champion
revolver shot of the world, who was to
have fred the shots at Father Zeglen, IL
he had given the personal test as adver-
tised, had offered to bet 500 that a bullet
from the 3S-calibsr military revolver
would pierce the cloth. The vest stopped
one bullet.
The ammunition used was received from
the manufacturers in a sealed package,
and the shooting was conducted under the
supervision of a committee composed Of
two newspaper men, ii. Walsh II
Thomas Rooney, and three citizens, T.. A.
Dalton, Edward Higgins and Albert
Looetz. The velocity of the 3S-caliber bull
let's is S5 feet a second. That of the bull
lets fired from other weapons ranged from
SOS to rs feet. In preliminary tests the
3S-caliber bullets penetrated eight inches
Of poplar and those from the other re-
volvers one and three-quarters TO four
and a half inches.

Working People Interested.

Wuertsburg, Wis, Nov. 1.-THE
working men and women Of this dis
trict are greatly interested in the ease
of Mary Kowsky, who, in an interview,
says:
Il have almost all my life been a suf-
terer from Backache and two years ago
| caught cold on my Kidneys, and the
agonles that followed were almost I'M
bearable.
Il consulted different doctors, but the
relief they gave me was only tempo
rary. The terrible pains always re-
turned and my suffering tempted me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. They did me
good almost from the start till now,
after taking three boxes | am almost
completely cured.
Il want all hard working people to
know this, for with the help Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills 1 don't mean to suffer any
more Backache."

cURIosITIEs OF DIVORCE.
10000 More Divorced Women Than
Men, According to Statistics.

"SUp NSOoToIU9 W StdtlShiCo.
There are 1000 more divorced wom-
en- than there are divorced men In the
United States, the official figures being
$4,000 divorced men and 114,0 900 divorced
women The disparity Is accounted for
by the fact hat men procuring divorces
or from whom divorces have been pro-
cured more often remarry than women
under like conditions.
The number of divorced men is large
ly in Indiana, which has 800. There
are more than 1900 each in California,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana. New York
and Pennsylvania. Texas has $500 and
Massachusetts $500.
South Carolina is the only state
which has no law authorizing or per-
hitting divorces. 1t has 275 divorced
men among it's residents, and South
Dakota, a state which has become
noted by reason of the facility with
which a divorce Is granted, has 563.
New Jersey has proportionately, a
very small number, $50. n Kansas, a
much smaller state in population, a
much larger number, 2,165.
In Utah, where plural marriages were
the rule among the Mormons until re-
cent years, the number OF divorced per-
sons is S35, a little below the average,
and Idaho, with about half the popula-
ton of Mormons, has As.
The state in which there is the largest
number of divorced women divorced

Illinois has 1000 and Texas $500.

Precisely as Advertised"

New York Times: Soon after one OF
the largest American railways had
been opened a traveller noticed q
marked disregard for punctuality on
the part Of the officials, but he was in
terested in the country and made no
complaint. At last the terminus was
reached. There he met q beaming
official of the country, who, pulling out
his watch, said:
Just look and see what time you
make 1t, will you please?"
1T wants ten minutes to l." said
the traveller a little puzzled.
Yes, sir, 1850 exactly! And that's
the hour she's timed TO arrive. How's
that for promptness? Crossing the
continent, almost 5000 miles, and get
ting here at 1880, precisely as adver-
tised."
II can't deny that, you know" said
the traveller; how many days were
you late?"
"Oh, two or three, perhaps; but we
struck the coast at 1850"
