NEW GLYcERINE pRoIEcTILE,
californian Claims to HAVE Invented
a Most Powerful Engine of
Destruction.


D.. Pettingill, Of Oakland, CAL, has
invented a slycerine ~projectile,
which, iflthe claims of the inventor
hold good, will prove of great impor-
lance. The mechanism CT the inven-
ton is a secret and Pettingill is low
negotiating With the United States
government for the sale of the de-
vice. The matter will be considered
by the ordnance department immedi-
ately. The invention, Pettingill says,
is a she'll that will carry without the
least conclusion from so to 200
pounds of %glycerine oil as far as the
ordinary shell. can be carried by the
ordinary modern ordnance. The
conclusion necessary to project the
shell, he says. is by his device, re-
1ected back to the sides of the shell
so that the glycerine oil is not so dis
turbed in the least.

The managers representative said
that Mr.. Stewart had started in by
initiating a system of daily reports of
the progress from each of the Is fore

The first two weeks showed no par
t,cular record except that a great deal
too much money was speHt for the

after that we got to 900 bricks for a

elimination, guided by the daily re-

Yes, trouble was threatened by
trade unions at times, but we met the

HAS A LESSON TO LEARN.
BaitaiH Reallsins That Trade with
Her Colonies IL Far Too
Small.

The London Standard, referring to
tina statistical abstract of the trade
o the British colonies which has
ju,t been issued. says: "The main
lesson Of the return is only too plain.
an it is that the business. done by
England with her colonies is too
often smaller than it should be. In
regard to Canada. it is only natural
that her chief customer should be
her close neighbor; nor is it surpris-
Ing: that the United States runs
Great Britain very close in New
fonndlnnd and the West Indies. It
Is, however. disappointing to see that
we are excelIed in Australia, and SO,
too. it is to find confirmation Of the
rather disgusting fact that Canada
has difficulty in attracting s-ttlers,
md that her territories remain
empty in spite Of her improved
of communication and IKE Of
fers made to colonists."

AMERICAN sILvERsMITHs.
Are Preparing to Invade the English
Market with Their Artis-
tic Wares.

American manufacturers of silver
ware are preparing to invade the Eng
lish markets. The originality and ar
tistic finish of the American product
has been recognized in the British Isles,
as elsewhere, but without the English
hall mark as a guarantee of the purity
Of the silverit was impossible to make
any Roadway. One difficulty in the
way was that the hall mark could not
be affixed after the goods were fin
ished. as the tests for purity would
disfgure them.
To obriate this the manufacturers
made arrangements to ship the silver
ware to England in partly finished
condition, have the hall mark affixed
and sent back to the United States for
the final stages of manufacture, after
which it is to be shipped to England
for sale.
Inquiry mas made at the treasury
department whether or not duty
would be assessed on the goods when
brought back from England, and the
department has ruled that no duty
will be levied, as the siIverware would
not be considered as having been ad-
vanced in manufacture within the
meaning of the law by the afixing of
the hell mark

special meeting last evening. A COM
munication from the Rev J.. G. Daven-
port, DID,, and members of the Sec
ond Congregational church was read.
1t referred to the boxing exhibition to
be held here November 6 and COM
planned that it was nothing less than
a prize fight; that such an exhibition
would cast a stain upon the city,
would foster brutal tastes and re-
minded the board that the letter was
the result of formal action of the con-
gregation Of the church, mentioned
the pastor and members in general
The communication closed asking that
the exhibition be prohibited 1t. was
voted to table the communication and
to notify DR. Davenport that no license

deal Of discussion regarding the fire

decided to make provision for such

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

Candidates for the basketball
team Of the Brooklyn Athletic club
will shortly begin practice. The b.
A. G. has been represented by strong
basketball teams during the past two
or three seasons and it is intended to
have this years team fully as strong.
Another person has been injured
while playing that very gentle pas
time, football. James Baltruszaitis
who is about Is years old and lives at
% North Leonard street, is suffering
from broken arm which he received
While playing football with the Cy-
clones on Sunday. The injury was
received during a scrimmage, but the
young man paid no attention to it and
hnlshed the game. But yesterday it
caused him no little suffering and DR.
russell was consequently summoned.
He found that the young mans left
arm had been broken at the shoulder.
Manager Batters Of the st Thorn
as cadets A. G. football team has ar
ranged a game with the Acorns Of
bridgeport for next Sunday. The
game will be played at the Driving
park. The many supporters Of the
Cadets would like to see a few games
arranged before the Co A game. Only
one game has been played by the Ca
dets so far this season. The players
DO not wish to practice unless there
are some games in sight. The other
teams throughout the state must be
afraid Of the Cadets for Manager Bat
tiers appears to be having a hard time

would like to see a game arranged
between the Cadets and the Nauga-
tllcks.

ADVERTISING THE FIGHT.
Placard Placed in Window Of FIRST
Congregational Church.

New Britain, Oct 2S.- One Of the
windows of the basement of the chap
ell Of the First church was used part
Of yesterday morning for the display
of a placard advertising a prize fight
to take place at Waterbury next week.
AS soon as persons connected with the
church saw the sign in the window
they had it removed. A door lead
ing from Church street into the base
ment portion of the chapel was open
yesterday morning and it was an easy
matter for a person to sneak in and
place the sign conspicuously in the
window. It is~hardly possible that
it was the work of small boys as it
was placed higher than a boy could
have reached. The pastor of the
church, Rev DR. Hall. has been active
here in reform movements and this
made the dissertation Of the church
property more marked than otherwise

but that those plans will be corkers
goes without saying One Of the
pretty and unique features will be the
Chinese restaurant. The two best
chefs in New York will be here with
everything that can be found in any
hrst class restaurant. The furnish
lngs OF the dining room will be Chi
nese, the utensils and dishes have
come from China, the eatables will be
prepared in Chinese style and the ten
young lady mattresses and the cash
1ers will be attired in Chinese cos
tunes. In fact, the place will be a
yeritable Chinatown.
The Elks do not care to advertise
anything that they will not produce
and all this talk about Carrie Nation
coming mere has been simply just a
little horseplay. Carrie might be an
attraction, but it is doubtful if she
would draw the crowds which the 9th
er attractions will certainly do. There
will be novelty workers and side
shows in every part Of the hall and it
will take you at least two solid hours
to take in all the sights that will be
presented. Charters has been told to
spread himself on the decorations and
he has promised something out Of the
ordinary. The books are selling like
hot cakes and more than six thousand
have already been disposed of. This
means $4,000 and vet that will not
cover the expense the Elks have gone
to. Ten cents may win $1,000 and
even if you have to buy whole book
for 81 you get twelve of those ten cent
tickets. That is an investment well
worth trying.

POLICE COURT D0INGS

Man Before the Court for Neglecting
to Support His Wife. I
The republican rally last night made
the judges Of the courts so tired that
with only difficulty one of them could
be had. this morning. Judges Burpee
nor CoWell could be found anywhere,
and it was supposed that they were re-
covering from the effects of the rally.
Judge Peasley was only few minutes
IN his Office when he was summoned
by telephone. There was not much
business, however, in court Timothy
Flynn, employed by the ScOvill Manu-
featuring Go, was charged with failing
to support his family. He pleaded not
guilty and then his wife, who married
before, testified that he has not prop,
erly maintained her. Her children,
she said, have supported him, but they
will do SO no longer, she said Last
week he charged her with taking
money out of his pockets, which she
denied and he got angry and left her.
He was willing to pay her sum every
week, but the amount was the ques-
ton. He earned $3.50 a week, and he
asked how could he pay anything out
of that sum to her support. He was
ordered to pay So week, however,
and If he fails to do this he will have
to go to JAIL
