ELLIS GLENN LOSES.
"Mnn-Woman' Case From West gir-
ginia sent Back For Trial.

The Supreme Court of the U lited
States yesterday quashed the .rit OF
habeas r granted by Jud xe lack
son. Of the Northern. district OF West
Virginia. in the case of Ellis tGlenn.
alias e. b Glenn, and rdmanded the
case for trial.
This is the "mAn-woman'f which
has attracted considerable attention
in West Virginia. The woman for
years masaueraded as a man under the
name Of Ellis Glenn. She was tried
tor forgery in Wood County w. Va,
at the Max term of court, 1901, and
the jury disagreed. She claimed at
that time that she was the sister of
ELLIS Glenn. at the fall term Of
court. when she came up for retrial.
she contended that she was twice
placed in jeopardy for the same Of
Tense, and sued out a writ Of habeas
co rpus before Judge jackson. The
writ was granted, whereupon Hum
ter FL. Moss. jr.. prosecuting attorney
appealed from Judge Jackson's de-
cision and the court Monday sus-
tanned the appeal.

The prince is the o of the late
duke of Teck and, incidentally, the
brother of the princess of Wales,
who, in all probability, some day will
be queen of England.
The firm of Gordon, Hill a Co. Of
fered his highness $4,000 a year for
his services. Then several other
houses made still higher offers, and
it began to look as il the prince
could get about any salary he
pleased if only he played the differ
ent bidders against each other skill
fully enough. At this point, how
ever, the king stepped in with the
remark that Prince Francis going
on change was out Of the question.
His highness' position as the close
relative of one of the most promi-
nent members Of the royal family
would, Edward VII. pointed out, be
a delicate one as matters stand at
present; while, in the event of the
princess of Wales becoming queen,
it would be impossible. So the prince
will not go into the city-which is
rough luck, for he gets no a%ppropri-
alton from the royal till, and is a
bit hard up, as his father was be-
fore him. His highness, who is now
33, has had a military career thus
far, being now major of the First
dragons. He was educated at Sand
hurst, and has served in India, Egypt
and Ireland. He saw part Of the
South African campaign as a captain
in the remount department.

son, and it is due to their knowledge
that this British drum is to-day pre-
served for the present generation.
With a continuance of the care which
is given it, it will long remain an OBJ
iect of interest,". to all students of Ameri-
can history.
1T is this fact which has caused the
leading historical societies of the coun-
try, having knowledge of its existence,
to make ~overtures to the Smith family
for its purchase. 1t is to-day the equal
in tone Of any Of the modern snare
drums. Like an old Cremona violin, its
tone cannot be excelled. Recently
the venerable band leader manipulated
the sticks in the presence of a Boston
Globe reporter, sounding the various
beats in army life during the civil war.
Tt is much larger than the snare
drum in use now, Inside of the barrel,
which. by the way, is cracked nearly
half around it's circumference, can be
seen the name, although somewhat OBJ
liberated, of the maker, whose place
of business was London. A silver plate
descriptive of the drums importance,
has been placed on the barrel, which
reads as follows:
"This British drum was captured at
Bunker Hill, and assigned by lot to
Levi Smith, a drummer inthe continent
al army. Descended to his son, Israel
Smith, a soldier Of the war of 1872.
Descended 10 his son. Israel Smith,
! TOnIar IL 4Ia IanI - a.. n Lsntr D. .rA
Massachusetts infantry, the headquar-
tiers band which marched with Sher-
man from Atlanta TO the sea in 1864,
and presented by him to r. A. Pierce
post, 100, department of Massachusetts,,
G. A. r."
The story, as told by Mr.. Smith, who,
when a lad, got it from his grandfather,
is a brief one. The lad who carried the
drum when the B%ritishers made their
first attack on Breeds hill, was shot
down at the first yolley, and the barrel
of his drum almost riddled with bull
let's. After the second assault, and
while King Georges troops were being
| rallied for their third and successful
attack, one of the members of the
Rhode Island company in question
went over the intrenchments and car
ried back with him this relic.
Taken to the company after the
British had taken the hill, the men in
the company drew lots for its posses
sion, and afterward, by unanimous
consent, gave it to the Rhode Island
drummer boy, Levi Smith.
At the beginning of the last century,
Levi Smith, the grandfather, gave it
to his eldest boy, Israel, Jr.. and he
had it ~redecorated by s. Brown, of
Providence, who adorned 1T with coats
of arms of the United States and Rhode
! Island, while near the top were the
initial letters Of his father. IL. S."

DoUBLE-BARRELED GUN.
Confederate Army, But Never
Used In WAR.

In one of the city squares Of
Athens, Ga, stands an interesting
relic of the civil war-what is prob
ably the only double-barreled cannon
ever made. 1t was designed by a
resident of Athens for use in the
confederate service, the idea being to
discharge a projectile from each
barrel simultaneously, the projec-
tiles to be connected by a chain. No
chain was found to be sufficiently
strong, however, to withstand the

strain, and the weapon was never
tested in actual warfare. The can
non is made of cast iron, says the
Scientific American, and was nodded
at one of the local foundries. 1t Is
of three-inch caliber, having a di-
ameter across the muzzles of eight
inches, and across the barrels of 10
inches, while it Is So inches in length.
1t is provided with what is Familiarity
known as a ''touchhole" in the
breech, connecting with both barrels,
so that it could be discharged by ig-
hitting a fuse if desired. The idea of
the inventor was to connect the balls
by a chain several feet in length, the
ends of the chain being fastened into
each by staples. Chain-shot was
often used in naval battles to car
ry away the rigging Of an enemy.
1t was discharged once after being
built, but unfortunately n barrel
for some reason did not ego Off"
The force of the explosion of the
other barrel tore the chain from the
ball which remained, and gave a
curved motion to the projectile. As
a result of this accident, it was con-
sidered too dangerous to adopt for
use, and was stored away, finally
being discovered only a few years
ago in a shed. 1t was then mounted
upon its present carriage and placed
in the park for an ornament.

1t is interesting to compare statis-
ties regarding American trade with
Germany at the present time. when
the Venezuelan question has been oc-
cupying so much attention and the
United States is deeply concerned in
its satisfactory adjustment.
A comparison of trade returns for
the past decade shows that in the
period noted American exports to Ger
many have more than doubled, while
imports from Germany have increas-
ed in a much smaller degree. so that
we now sell 10 Germany 20 per cent
