Springfield, Mass. August q, 1908.
"A pistol, not a revolver, which VIII
fire seven shots a second which has
no projecting hammer nor cartridge
cylinder, and which can not be acct
dentally discharged, seems strange
and impossible weapon, yet such an
demonstrated as successful by no less
person than Mr.. John n Browning,
the inventor of the deadly automatic
machine gun, capable of firing 400 to
500 shots a minute.
Mr. Browning's fame as a gun in
ventor is indisputable, having invented
and sold the patent rights Of no less
than fifteen distinct types of guns, and
but recently devised I; practical auto
matte repeating shotgun, a problem in
firearms which has always been con-
sidered impossible.
The chief idea i'll deVising the new
automatic pistol was compactness and
light weight For a gentleman's fire
arm, as this was designed to be, Mr..
Browning worked to get the greatest
efficiency in as small a space as possl-
BILE. and the result is a pistol only
seven inches long three-Quarte.s o. an
inch thick. and weighing only twenty
toll
an averaged sized paper novel and
imagining a corner two inches wide
by three long taken out of it, you have
approximately the size and shape or
this new weapon. One point about
this pistol which ought to commend 1t
to the public is it's smooth exterior,
and the absence of any of those pro-
iectiOns so prominent in reV0lVerS
which entail a constant wear and tear
on the clothing when carried in ones
pocket. Picking UP one of these pls
tolls Your first impression is that it Is
the outside ease for weapon so en-
tirely absent from sight is the mechan-
ism. On this account the pistol Will
doubtless be preferred to a revolver
by those who have occasion to carry
such arms in their pockets.
The essential thin1 to remember
concerning an automatic pocket pistol
is that it is not a revolver the latter
inc knows a
cylindrical magazine carrying the cart
ridges In the automatie pistol The
cartridges are supplied from a dctacha
BILE magazine inserted IN the handle
al the butt. and eighs or any smaller
number may be put IN al one time The
caiibre is 80 of an inch. and the cart
ridge is rmless and sm0keless.
No shell is left in the barrel when
the pistol is fired. and such is the
rapidity of its fire that eight shots haze
been discharged in one and three-ffths
seconds. or seven shots in practically
one second. The action of the pistol
is automatic except that the trigger
r1ust be pulled to fire each shot, the
cartridges being supplied from the de-
tachable magazine. After the pistol
is charged with filled nagazine. one
opening movement is made by bring
ing the first cartridge into the cham
Der. On pulling the trigger the cart.

"PINCHBECK IMITATION"
That's the Way English Look Upon
the Monroe Doctrine.

London March 14.-One of the interest
ing squabbles in the Venezuelan affair
is shown in leading article in one OF
the principal publications just out.
The "pinchbeck imitation" expression
will amuse Americans
The article is quoted verbatim.
1T was King Ferdinand ii of Spain,
and not James Monroe, President of the
United States of America, who was the
real originator of the Monroe Doctrine
THE latter invented the name; but the
policy which the name represents was
Ferdinands and SPANS.
THE Spanish Monroe Doctrine was Tar
more comprehensive and all-embracing
than is the United States pinchbeck imi-
tation.
The latter says that no European pow
er shall be allowed to annex any portion
of the soil of the two American continents.
The former laid down the principle
that not only the two Americas belonged
absolutely by right Of prior discovery to
the Spanish crown, but It also insisted
upon SPANS right to the entire Pacific
Ocean and forbade ships Of other ma
tions TO invade its waters.

London, March 1.-THE most extraordi-

probably, was William Hughes, who suf-
fered the death penalty few days ago
for the murder of his wife. When told
that a reprieve had been refused, the con-
demned man displayed extreme callous-
ness as to his fate.
The night before his execution he STAR
tied the warders on duty in the con-
demned cell by indulging in the most ex-
traordinary acrobatic feats. He also ran
around the cell on all tours, Ito show he
was in good spirits and then stood on
his head against the stone wall. a puZ-
zled guard asked him why he did this.

American League Clubs Standing.

The Senators started q series Of three
games in Chicago yesterday and as usual
came out at the tail end, the White Sox
being victors by the score OF to 2 Man
ager LOTUS was not on the bench, but his
orders as to the pitchers were carried out
and Case Patten went on the rubber. Mr..
Patten evidently lacked the speed Of his
recent games, the ball being batted hard
from the start, and he was taken out after
a disastrous three innings experience.
Howard Wilson, whose arm has evidently
recovered from its recent injury, then re-
ieved Patten and not another run was
made by Chicago. Patterson did the twirl-
Ing for the White Sox and was a great
mystery to the Senators, but four lone
some singles being made by the LOTUS
tribe. Many of the Senators hit the ball
savagely. but the brown legs in the out
field pulled down the drives in the most
sensational style and prevented runs. Dele
hanty and Robinson were the worst suffer-
ers In this way, the former losing two
beautiful drives. while the latter thought
he had three-bagger sure until Jones
rushed to the fence and pulled down the
ball.
Ex-senator "Duckey'' Holmes started
the game for Chicago with a beautiful
triple to the center field fence and scored
on Green's single over second. After steal
ing second, Green was pushed home by a
double from the bat Of Isbell and the lat
ter scored on Magoon's single.
cipher went up for the Chicagos in the
second, but in the third they got busy
enough to score four runs and chase
Pitcher Patten to the stable. After Magoon
had been passed to first. TannehiIl smash
ed out a double. the former stopping at
third Mcfarland singled into left and
Magoon and Tannehill raced home. After
Patterson had struck out, Holmes hit hot
one at Patten and beat 1t out Jones fol-
lowed with hot drive toward left which
Moran partially blocked, and the bases
were filled. Green then sent up one Of
those tantalizing short files that fell safe
back Of second with several Senators try
ing in vain to get under the ball and Nc
Farland and Holmes rushed home. Drill
closed the inning through a bluff throw
to second that pulled Jones far enough or
third to allow a swift throw to Coughlin
and a consequent out. This ended the run
getting for the Chicagos, but the score
was large enough to win the game.
The Senators two runs were hung up
in the eighth inning. Delehanty leading OF
with a single through the infleld and going
to second on Coughlin's out from Patter-
son to Isbell. Clarke followed with line
safety into center and Jones made a good
effort to shut of Delehanty at the plate
The ball got away from Slattery and Pat
terson with the result that not only Dele
hanty scored. but Clarke reached third and
scored q minute later on Robinson's fly to
the Outfeld Score:
