Mnuser Bullets in Remingtons.

Capt. Frank f. Eastman, who has re-
Gently returned from the Philippines,
has presented to the ordnance depart
ment an interesting device by which
the Filipinos utilized old Remington
cartridge shells to enable them to fire
Mauser bullets from Remington rifles.
Capt. Eastman says that many of the
insurgents are supplied with Reming-
ton rifles, but they have nothing but
Mauser ammunition. Large quantities
of empty Remington shells are to be OBJ
tanned, however, and to make the Maus-
er cartridge fit the Remington rifle they
cut a hole in the head of the exploded
Remington shell and insert the car
fridge so that the latter has an outer
Jacket which fits without trouble in
their guns. In a measure this accounts
for the inaccurate firing of the Fill
pinos. The bullet is too small to take
the rifing of the Remington gun, so
that it is impossible to fire them with
any degree of accuracy. The bullet
frequently lattens out in its passage,
and when it does strike makes a very
ugly, jagged wound. AT other times
II expands so that it jams the gun and
makes it usele5s.-N. Y. Sun.

IN A MUSICAL BAND FOR LIFE.
Georgia Convicts Have an Organise.
ton Which Death Alone
Can Disrupt.

very peculiar quallhcationS are re
quired for membership in a Georgia
musical organization, which is said to
excel all others known in rag-time
music, negro melodies, in buck dancing
and in other forms of entertainment
in which the colored brother seems
to lead in talent.
To belong to the band every appli-
cant must have committed murder or
enough to earn for himself a life sem
tence in the Georgia penitentiary or in
one of the states convict camps. This
particular band is composed of life con.
victs, leased to the Chattahoochee Brick
company and kept in the prison near
the city of that NAME. All are negroes
save the in%terlocutor, who is a one
armed white man, with a desperate
criminal reputation in the east. He had
served a term in the Sing Sing prison
and in several Others before he fell up
against the law of Georgia, which set
tied him for life. Capt. English is the
contractor who leases the $50 convicts
at Chattahoochee. Recognizing the
difficulties to be met with in caring for
men sentenced for life under such a
system as prevails he does whatever
he car to make them as contented as
possible. He has more than a dozen
"%lifers" in his lot, but only those par
~ticularly well endowed with musical
talent or some other stage gift may get
into the band. 1t is the only musical
organization that nothing on earth
save death, and maybe some merciful
governor of Georgia, can disrupt. There
is no union to make rules for it.
The man with the guitari is the recog-
nized leader Of the band. He is what
is known down south as a white mig
GER" but is corked up for the OCCASION
He was a notorious, voodoo doctor,
known north and south. The end men
were both convicted of awful crimes
and are glad they are alive, which is
likewise a wonder considering how
promptly Judge Lynch acts in the state
under certain conditions.
One of the men is a former pugilist
of some reputation who has taught the
manly art to one of his fellows, witt
whom he gives exhibitions both violent
and artistic. The band has a stage IL
the prison yard, where it gives enter
tainments. Its concerts are very popu
lar with tourists, large numbers Of
whom visit the penitentiary just te
hear this strange organization sing anc
play and see it's members do theil
turns. Whatever they pay goes to the
men, who expend it for new musica
instruments, cigarettes and watermel
ons. They are up in all the rag-tim'
and popular airs and besides have lot
of quaint, weird and rollicking music
peculiar to the race which predominate'
in the membership of the band. Th'
band has a regular uniform, consisting
of canvas suits, with stripes running
around, and iron ornaments and chains
which they wear on either leg. Will
it is probable that none of them IS over
sensitive, Capt. English looks out TO
the feelings of the members of his ban
and will not give out their names or tn
history of the crimes for which the.
are in prison.-Chicago Chronicle.

GREAT SEA TRAGEDY
Waves Tore a Steamer to Pieces In
Puget Sound.
On the Night thu ChalIam Sank When In
Sight of Pore-Women and Children
Perished By Life Boats
Capsixfng.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE steamer
Callam. Of the Seattle-V Victoria fleet
vent down early Saturday morning
midway between Smith island and
Dungeness, In the straits OF Juan de
Fuca- Fifty-two persons were
drowned, among them being A. K.
Prince and Guy Daniels, both Of Kan
sas City. Mo. Within sight Of her
destination q huge sea overwhelmed
the little steamer, smashing in her
dead lights, flooding her hold with wa
ter, extinguishing the fires beneath her
boilers and placing her at the mercy
Of the bowling gale.
Then two boats were launched and
In these some of the passengers were
Entrusted. The first boat contained
only women and children, three deck
hands from the Clallam and Capt
Lawrence, OF Victoria The boat was
overwhelmed 600 feet from the Clallam
and its occupants shrieked in vain for
aid from those aboard the steamer.
Not hand could be raised to aid them.
The second boat then rowed away into
the darkness. On board the Clallam
men were seen as the waves tore them
from the boat, but later she was still
afioat The third boat, containing only
men, then swamped in launching.
But still more lives were to be sacri-
feed. The hull of the Clallam began
to give way before the terrific assaults
Of the waves and the strain Of the tow
line completed the work the seas had
begun.
The tug Sea Lion sighted the Hol-
yoke and her tow about midnight and
stood by to assist At 1890 o'clock
she went on her beam end and began
sinking rapidly. At 1:07 o'clock she
settled and the tow lines were cut A
few minutes later she lurched and dis
appeared beneath the waves. BY he
roic efforts the crews Of the two tugs
saved the lives of nearly all who re-
manned aboard the Clallam. A few
were swept away and persisted in the
blackness Of the storm, with none to
heed their shouts and cries.
