Spanish war and which at that
time was regarded as faultless, is,
according to the recent tests, but
a mere toy as compared with the
new weapon.
The demonstrated advantages of
the new rifle as compared with the
Krag Jorgenson, which many cx-
perts consider equal or superior
to the small arm in use in any
European army, are decreased
weight, greater velocity, greater
penetration and an improved sight.
A special cartridge, which has
been designed for use in riots, has
a comparatively small range, SO as
to obyiate danger to innocent per-
sons who may be a mile or two
distant from the disturbance.
Round shot are substituted in this
cartridge for the penetrating steel
bullet used in the enemy's country.
Tools for the new rifle are now
being made at the armory in
Springfield. 1t is expected that
equipment of the regulars with the
new model will begin in about a
year.

Clean, temperate, truthful, hon.
est resume, occasionally, of the in
dustrial conditions of the State,
mining, stock raising and agricult-
ural, by the news papers, covering
their field, is all the advertising
the State needs. Above all things
let us have the truth. In the
course of time, those who are look
ing around for location and settle
ment will subscribe for Nevada
papers; they will read descriptions
of different industrial opportun-
tiles; they will see that they are
reasonable and plausible, and they
will become interested, and they
will make inquiry, and the first
thing we know a tide Of immigra-
ton will set in this way. People
who have saved from fair earnings
say one or two thousand dollars,
are the very best reasoners on
earth, and compose the very best
aud safest class of citizens. They
cannot be misled or led at all by
fabulous tales of wealth; they
manage to get ahead one or two
thousand dollars by the fact that
they do not seek to get the best of
others; they are satisfied with
their earnings and savings and
look to save investments, rather
than to speculative chance. This
is the class of people that is most
desirable for Nevada. A news
paper reporter, doing a stunt in
Nevada, may have his wallet burst
ing with shares of mining stocks,
given to him for the purpose of ~
ing about a mine or a series of
mines, and very naturally, he will
lie for all that is in him; but
another newspaper should be care
full not to pour water on his wheel,
such reports should be strictly
ignored. The original writer is
simply a buncoe man, and the re-
producer of the article becomes a
buncoe steerer. The clean. un-
vanished truth is all that is need

desperate men dropping through
the ceiling into the guard room
where q pitched battle followed
with pistols, rifles, lead pipe in a
stocking to be used as a sling shot
and knives played an important
part. Lieutenant Governor Den

shot through the thigh, several
guards were killed and one or two
men from the hotel adjoining were
killed while attempting to subdue
tho convicts. The twenty or
twenty-five desperate men won the
battle, took possession of the prison
provided themselves with food,
and arms and started out across
the country. The whole of the
western part of the State was
stirred as it never was before or
has been since. The break at
Folsom wildly brings to mind the
startling incidents enacted at the
Nevada prison a generation ago.

Colombian Commissioners Reticent
About His Errand


General Jorge Holquin, colleague of
General Rafael Reyes on the Colombian
commission to Washington, sailed Thurs
day on the steamer La Bretagne for Havre
from New York His destination is Lon
don.
Among New York Colombians there was
much speculation as to the object of Gen.
eral Holquins trip abroad He declared
that 1t was on a purely personal matter,
although rumor had 1t that he goes to
London to discuss the Panama Colombia
situation with the British foreign Office
General Holquin is an important figure
in the politics of Colombia, and was min
lister of foreign affairs in the administra-
ton of President Caro-
General Pedro Mel OSpina and DIR. Lucas
Caballero, two other members of the
commission from Bogota, were in New
York Thursday General Mel Ospina is a
member of the Colombian senate, and at
the recent election was candidate for
the presidency. Both commissioners were
as reticent as General Holquin regarding
affairs in Colombia, and on the isthmus.
They came from Washington on private
prominent Colombian. discussing the
reports of the war spirit prevailing in Co.
lombia, said:
This talk of Colombia making war on
the United States is sheer nonsense AS
to a probable conflict between Colombia
and Panama, that depends entirely on the
attitude of this country. II it intervenes,
why then, of course such a war is out of
the question. But If we are permitted to
fight without interference, then there can
be no doubt as to the outcome. Colombia
WILL in such event. surely recover Panama.
There will, however, be no rash action by
the Colombian army. 1t will not open
hostilities unless so ordered by General
Reyes. He controls the army, and 1T is
Within his power to bring on war or
avert it. No. I cannot predict what he
will do"

Corean Architecture.
From the Housekeeper.

From the H0usekeeper.
The Corean style of architecture is suited
to anything but an extreme climate such
as prevails there. During the winter
months it is very cold. The houses are
made of bamboo frame work, plastered
within and without with adobe mud. The
roof is matched with rice straw. which is
weather proof. The inside may be made
into one room by the sliding back OF
screen-like partition. Just why these were
introduced 1T is impossible to say. for they
are but rarely used, as privacy is never de-
sired in Corea. This open space becomes
the living room, and even when travellers
are passing along and must halt for the
night, they are invited to share common
sleeping place on the floor with the entire
family. The discomfort of such an expert
ence is extreme during the summer. In
the kitchen, which Is just without the living
room, there is located a most curious kind
of stove. From this clay pipes extend
under the floor to the living room. They
warm the house summer and winter alike
for 1t has never entered their minds that
some means could be devised whereby the
heat could be turned off from the other
quarters.

John D. Rockefeller went to Tarrytown

them So, $40 and $50 apiece. The conductors
on Mr.. Rockefeller's train also received

He also visited his estate and distributed
gold. William Rockefeller also remembered
the railroad boys and the employees on his

Miss Helen Miller Gould duplicated her
gifts of last year by giving $40 to her

There Is no real connection or utilization
