eral Miles has at all times urged this
idea. He has contributed many arti-
cles to the public press, and on many
occasions, has spoken in public in the

The caiber Of a f1rearm is the dame
ter Of the barrel; that Is. the hole
through which the charge is projected.
Rifles are measured by caliber and
shotguns by gauge. says the Buffalo
Express. The term bore Is frequently
used INTERCHANGEABLE, though in Its
most general use 1t refers to large
weapons Of special make. The ele-
plant guns of African travel tales are
always referred to as having bore.
But hereabouts caliber and gauge are
the terms most used.
A 1-caliber rife would be a rifle with
an inside barrel diameter Of one inch.
Thus a 50-caliber weapon would have
an inside barrel diameter of half an
inch. and the 32-caliber arm would
carry a ball sized for a barrel .32 of
an inch in diameter.
Rifle and revolver measurements are
made on a scale of their own. One
might think they would follow the
theory Of cents. dimes. quarters and
halves. so long as they are reckoned by
decimals. but they don't. The small
est caliber, unless a special size. is %.
From that rifles and revolvers are
built In recognized sizes VI to 50-cali-
Der. Beginning with the 22-caliber.
the standard American sizes are as fol-
lows: 20. 80. .32. .3S. IA. AS. so.

WANTS N A c
Didn't Gel The Girl and 10 now Suing
Her Mother On Note.

Toledo. Ohio, March 21.-Ernest D
Ffndley Of Detroit, a young man travel
ing for a Chicago house, is suing Mrs
Fredericka Rapp, who lives in this
city. for $275 which he loaned her from
time to time and for which he holds
her note. At the time he made the
loans he was engaged to the daughter
of defendant, Miss Julia Matthias. who
Is with her mother q. the trial. The
defense is that the plaintiff told de.
PENDANT to transfer the note to her
daughter, and she claims to have done
so. Later he wanted the money, and
when he could not get it, defendant
says he married another girl.
Miss Matthias is still single. She
has not the kindliest feeling for the
man who was formerly her all-in-all,
and when he went on the stand she
made faces at him and the court had
to rap on the desk and tell her that
there must not be any expressions from
any one but the witness.
He must have known we would not
pay the money under the circumstances
as they were," Mrs. Rapp said. for he
and got married" g.
The daughter has a $25, 900 damage
suit for breach of promise pending in
Detroit.

RAILROAD MEN
MEET AROUND the BANQUET BOARD
4 FINE DINNER
Enjoved by Members of Morgan
Lodge and a Few Friends.

Last Tuesday night the large
dining hall on the second floor Of
the new Demengeaux hotel was
filled with the members of Nor
gan Lodge, No. 317, of the
Brotherhood of RrailrOad Train
men. A number of ladies' graced
the occasion with their presence
and several guests were there to
partake of the hospitality of the
trainmen. Mr.. and Mrs. Domen-
geaux had displayed much taste
in arranging the tables, the ar
tistic decorations being in keep
ing with the excellence of the
menu. A committee of railroad
Ren had been actively engaged
for two or three days and evi-
dences of their work were seen
in the faultless arrangement of
every detail of the celebration.
A string band enlivened the ban
quet with good music and gave
an opportunity to the young peo-
pie to conclude the evening with
a most enjoyable dance. Appro-
pirate tOaStS were made by
Messrs. F. G. TRAY, F. V. Mou-
ton, A. NJ Martin and John F.
Bowen, all of whom paid de-
served tributes to the Brother
hood and expressed the wish
that it will continue to uphold
the dignity of labor, preserve it's
rights and protect its interests
against those who would be dis
posed to ignore the great truth
that the ''laborer is worthy of
his hire The sentiments ut
tered by the speakers touched a
responsive chord in the breast of
every one present.
Morgan Lodge forms part of
the great Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen which was Or
ganized in Oneonta, N. Y, on
Sept. %, 1888. The Brotherhood
soon grew from an humble be-
ginning to a powerful organiza-
tion. It's high aims, based upon
the principle that Justice should
be accorded to both the employe
and the employer, appealed to
throughout the country
and before long it's membership
enormous proportions.
With it's 617 lodges and 81, 900
members and 232 lodges of the
ladies' auxiliary, it is now re-
as a potent force in the
railroad world, and yields much
power in cultivating friendly re-
lations between the trainmen
and the railway corporations.
AS evidence of the great help it
has been to the members it is
only necessary to state that it
has paid claims amounting to the
total of $6, 743, 96O. 80,

Morgan Lodge was organized
on J uly Is, 1889, with about fif-
teen members. 1t now has d
mbership of fifty-eight. The
lodge is in a most fiOurishing
condition. It has been a source
of much assistance to the local
railroad men. AS an adjuster of
differences it has rendered in
valuable services. Having in
view the welfare of the members
it has always pursued a conser-
vative policy, exerting at all
times it's best efforts toward a
peaceful and reasonable settle
ment of the difficulties which
arise occasionally between the
men and their employers. 1t is
safe to say that no other Organi-
zatiOn possesses a more earnest
and enthusiastic membership
than Morgan Lodge. The
men understand that in unity
there is force and while they are
not unmindful of the fraternal
relations which the society pro-
notes, they appreciate the ma
terial advantages derived from a
a strong, well-suppOrted Organi
zation.
