Officers Injured by Explosion.

Newport, r. 1.-Two officers were
injured here recently by the prema.
ture explosion Of a 10.inch gun at Fort
Wetherell in jamestown, which guards
Newport harbor and the entrance to
Narragansett bay. The officers were
Lieut.. Col. ]. H. Willard Of the Engi.
neer corps and Lieut.. Frank w. Rawl.
ston of the coast artillery, both hav.
ing their eyesight and hearing affect
ed and faces cut.
The explosion blew the parapet
away, lifted the gun from it's carriage
and threw it back on the trunnions,
partly wrecked Twenty artillerymen
were thrown to the ground but were
not injured.
The explosion was due to defec'
tive primer on the gun, which was re.
Gently installed in the fort and which
was being tested by the officers.
Lieut.. Col willard and Lieut.. RaWl.
ston were standing on the platform
of the gun carriage, while the men
were grouped about. Suddenly the
gun exploded, hurling officers and men
to the ground. The 570-pound shell
in the gun passed through the parapet,
wrecking it, and then continued out to
sea. The gun was badly damaged.
The only cause given for the explosion
is that the primer was defective.
The two officers are not seriously
injured. They were treated at the
fort hospital, The artillerymen are
members of the 9th coast artillery.

Women are constantly demonstrating
more clearly their capacity for success
in newspaper work.
Thousands of women hold positions
on newspapers IN this country. In fact
the daily newspaper in the United
States that has not woman or women
on it's staff is very rare exception.
Many women are newspaper proprie'
tors and show ability for business
management as we'll as editorial and
reportorial work.
There are wOman's press clubs In
nearly every State and women news.
paper workers are as enthusiastic de.
vOtees to their profession as men. They
have contributed largely and variously
to the success and popularity Of the
newspapers of this country and are
now recognized as great and grow.
ing factor in the profession.
Women are not restricted to any one
department of newspaper work. WO.
men are employed not only as society
reporters and correspondents, but as
news reporters, news editors and edi-
torial writer's. In fact, bright wo-
man can make herself useful in al
most every line of newspaper work
and the retirement of women from
journalism would be great loss t"
the profession and to the public.

COMPLAINS Of His Initiation.

Middletown, Conn--John Hunns,
the complainant against 10 members
OF the degree staff Of the aerie OF
Eagles here, described his experience
In the Initiation ceremonies when the
assault case came up for q hearing in
the city court.
He testified that when he was TAX
en- into the aerie he was blindfolded
and first of all laid on table. BY
means of an electric battery, he said,
the letters "F. o. E." we're tattooed up
on his breast. He was then given a
pair of boxing gloves and told to de-
fend himself. He did so, he said, as
well as he was able, but nevertheless,
he testified. he was soundly cu1ed
about the head, SO that his ears were
black and blue from bruises after
ward. He said that his shoes were
next removed and he was given pair
Of clogs and made to run. In trying
to get away he said that his arm was
hurt badly. He also was placed in
rope harness and made to go through
various Stunts"
r. w. Stebbins, a brother.in-law OF
the complainant, said he went into the
aerie at the same time and saw the
performance as described by Hunns.
Two physicians testified that Hunns
ar,,a <,as badly ,vranohad. and 1h mann
bers Of the aerie were then put on as
witnesses for the prosecution. Their
testimony in a general way agreed
with the statement made by Hunns.

One q the first cases which Chaun-
cey Dcpew had after being admitted
TO the bar was a civil suit involving
somewhat complicated question of in
heritance.
In no way daunted, oung Chauncey
tackled it, looked up authorities all the
way back to Julius Caesar, and pre-
pared an argument of Il few hundred
pages which seemed to him more than
unansw erable. His only fear was that
it might be beyond the comprehension
of the court.
When the time came the young man
rose aud plunged in boldly. The Judge
seemed Interested, and Chauncey took
further courage. But at the end OF an
hoar and a half, in the midst Of the
most intricate part of his plea, he was
pained to see what he thought was a
lack of interest on the part of the
Court. 1t was just as he had expect
ed; the Judge was unable to appreci-
ate the nice points of his argument.
He paused, hesitated, and then said:
"Your Honor, beg pardon, but do you
follow me?"
II have so far" answered the Judge,
shifting about in his chair; but I'll
say frankly that if thought l could
find my way back I'd quit right here"

ORIGIN OF COINAGE
'ho First Inventors of Gold aud silver
Coins Ages Ago.

he First Inventors OF Gold aud silver
Coins Ages Ago.
1t has been recently stated that Pas
or Losmann, of Berlin, during a late
visit to Northern Syria, obtained a coin
,f pure silver in good state of pre-
.arvation upon which is an Aramean
inscription of king known to have
.eigned 800 years before Christ. The
oame of the king Is not given. and the
account is somewhat vague, but it has
attracted attention from the bearing
# has on the origin of the coinage or
The precious metals.
The invention of gold and silver coins
has been attributed to the Lyndinns
md to the Greeks. HerOdOtus hscribes
the first coin to the Lydians, and the
date has generally been fixed at about
100 Il. c. Others claim the credit for
Pheidon, who was king Of Argos some
where about $50 b. c.. according to the
calculations generally accepted. AS the
last of the Aramean kings is said TO
have yielded to Tiglath-Pileser, Of Sy-
ria, between 745 and T25 h. c., the re-
cent discussion would seem to give the
earlier date to the Aramean coin.
OF course, it is premature to conclude
that this is established until the sub
iect has received more mature inves-
lgation. We are, at frequent inter-
vals, treated to discoveries of speci-
mems Of "the shekel of Solomon" and
coins purporting to be such are exhib-
tied. They have Cn them Inscriptions
in Hebrew characters that were not
in use until long after the time of Sol
ONION, who lived 1000 years before
Christ. The temptation to make these
antiquities to order is very great, and
an extensive business is done in them.
The new find in Syria may be OF mis-
character, or there may be a mistake
as to its date. At the same time, 1t Is
not improbable that there are silver
coins older than those Of the Greeks
or Lydians, and If so they may natur-
ally be expected to have existed in the
great monarchies of Asia.-Louisville
