SINGING BULLETS

Are Harmless, but the Silent Missiles
Cause All the Trouble.
Don't be afraid Of a bullet that
you've heard whistle" said another old
soldier. IF 1t sings in your ear, rest
! assured that it will never harm you.
1t is a fact, as any old soldier will tell
you, that you never hear the bullet
which hits you. 1t is a problem of
'windage,' as the boys in the army call
ed it. In other words, the bullet which
you hear sing has already sped past
you, and the bullet which hits you has
Kissed in the ear of some other fellow
in passing before it got TO you. 1t is
a simple proposition, after all. The
singing of the bullet is the atmospheric
vibration which is created and the re-
sistance which the air offers to the
progress Of the bullet. This cannot be
detected by the ear until the bullet
has crossed a parallel line with the ear.
1t may sail over -our head or whizz
close to the grouno but if 1t passes
you at all the ear viii catch the sound
of its flight To the soldier of man
battles the voice of the bullet is music.
He knows that he ned have no dread
Of the bullet that sings in his ears. 1t
Is the bullet that he does not hear that
must be feared. and 1t is this bullet
which always brings harm TO him. No
soldier ever heard the bullet which in
fiicted a wound on him. l was amused
by raw soldier who was attached to
our command. 1t was his first time on
the firing line. We were skirmishing,
and some sharpshooters were having
some fun at our expense. A bullet
whizzed close to him. Family we
could hear the crack of the rifle, but
it was not distinct enough to alarm
even a novice The singing OF the
bullet, however, brought a blanched ex-
preston to his face. He did not vince,
however. We were lying in the edge
of the woods. Another bullet buzzed
by. I don't like the sound said the
younger soldier. Zip! Another bullet
spent the air close to his head. He
was paler still. 'Comrade,' he said to
me, between bleached lips, L don't
want to be shot from ambush; let's
charge the devilsn / told him not to
fear a bullet that had spoken to him
on its flight but he did not like the
listening to the voice of these invisible
messengers of death. "-Baltimore

THRICE A MILLIONAIRE
EDWARD l.. DWYER FAILS, WITH
ASSETS OF But $3.50.
Liabilities Are Placed at 1914 4,S55-Re-
markable Career of a Man Who
Is Still Young.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13-Edward l.. Dwyer
who thrice has been a millionaire, to-day
filed a petition i'm bankruptcy with the
clerk of the United States District Court.
The liabilities are fixed at s374,S55, and
assets $3.50.
Edward i. Dwyer was born in Connecti-
cut forty-three years ago, and at the age
of twenty-five years went to Mexico, where
he realized million dollars through the de-
vefopment Of land and the construction of
railroads. Then he went to Chicago and
entered into wheat speculation. In his
wheat speculation it is said he made sew
eral million dollars. but finally lost all.
In 1893 he met and married the Duchess
De Castelluchia, New York woman, who
many years previously had married Ital-
ian nobleman. The duchess possessed many
acres of orange groves i'm Florida. She was
seventythree years old and Dwyer was
thirty three.
Not long after the marriage Mrs. Dwyer
died, leaving an estate of over $3,Oo0,OO0
She bequeathed SO of this amount to
Dwyer. The will was fought for six years
but finally admitted to probate by the
surrogate of New York city. After the
death of his aged wife Dwyer went all over
the West organizing mining and land COM
panies, many of which are said to have
returned vast sums of money to the inves-
tors. From these deals he says he has re-
ceived little or nothing.
In 1900 Dwyer enlisted in the marine corps
In the Brooklyn navy yard for a term or
three years. and was sent to Manila, where
he was known as the Millionaire Marine.
After one years service, the application
of friends, he received an honorable dis
charge.

Last evening Mr.. Bruner talked on 1.-The
Evolution of the Pioneer" delving into deep
theories. which he cleverly argued into
facts. The word ..pioneer'' used in connec-
tion with his speech referred TO the be-
ginning of all things, animate and inani-
mate. He said that God, as the starting
point, has been and is subject to the nat
ural law of evolution; that cons upon cons

the evolution of man from the ape: of the
gradual development of the mind towards
the highest degree of perfection: of the

nature through chemical and other pro-
cesses, as but part of the evolution of
God, and consequently, he concluded all

YOUTSEY ON THE STAND

GEORGETOWN, Ky, Aug. 13.-On the
witness stand for three hours this after
noon Henry Youtsey gave very damaging
testimony against Caleb Powers in the
Goebel murder conspiracy case. He testi-
fed that in January, 1901, he signed an affi-
davit for Powers. as to his innocense, to
present to the Republican judges of the
Court of Appeals, to secure from them
reversal of the life sentence given him
Powers). He said that at the time he
signed that affidavit both Powers and him.
self knew it to be false. and that before he
would consent to affix his signature to it
he Noutsey) required Powers to sign an
agreement waving the truth, or falsty of
it. and also agreeing to never let it be-
come public or to use it openely in court,
and to return it to him (Youtsey) within
fifteen days. He says the affidavit was not
returned by Powers, and he CYoutsey) kept
the written agreement. He produced the
agreement in court with Powers's signature
attached. and the affair created quite a
sensation.
Youtsey's wife has been for two years the
innocent custodian of this document. Fear
ing that he would lose it in the Jail, to
which he sent from time TO time, Yout-
sey sealed it up in an envelope and sent it
to her with instructions not to open it.
She kept it until he sent for it to go before
the grand jury, and unaware of its char
aCter. she restored it to him and 1T was
opened in the presence of the jury.
Youtsey's cross-examination was not
completed to-day and will be resumed to-
