Pistol Carving.

The recent War Department shooting by
a paroled patient from the hospital for the
insane has revived the discussion of the
matter of pistol carrying in the District.
The law provides that any person who
shall have concealed about his person any
deadly or dangerous weapon. who shall
carry such a weapon openly with intent
unlswfully to use It, shall be fined not less
than $50 nor more than $500 or be impris-
ored for not more than one year, or both.
This does not apply to persons who keep
such weapons I'm their residences or places
OF business or carry them back and forth
between those places. The law likewise
provides for the granting of permits by the
courts to carry weapons under certain re-
strictions. 1t prohibits, under penalty OF
a. nne OF not more than s100 or imprison-
u,ent for not more than three months or
both. the sale OF weapons to minors. 1t
restricts the sale. exchange, loaning or
bring of weapons to certain licensed vend-
ors, who shall report under penalties for
failure, to the police authorities once a
month the names of all persons who have
received weapons from them
The clear intent OF the law is to prohibit
the ownership and carrying of weapons
save In lines of legitimate domestic or bust

known to the court. The licensing of vend-
ors is equally clearly provided for the law

That TRADITIONAL Friendship.
From the indianapolis Journal.

The whole truth of the matter is that the
so-called traditional friendship between the
United States and Russia is largely fanci-
full. The relations of the two governments
have been friendly. as. considering they
have no conflicting interests, they ought to
be. Russias attitude during the civil war
entities her to- grateful remembrance and
just treatment by Americans, but that
should not prevent them from holding in
dependent opinions In the present war
Little Japan is our warm friend, too.

Never was the United States gov
ernment so deeply interested in an ex-
position as 1t is in this 1904 World s
Fair Already the governments in
vestment has reached the $11 100000
mark and this does not include the
Philippine expenditures, which were
paid out of the insular treasury. The
result is the greatest exhibit ever
made by Uncle Sam.
One of the interesting government
exhibits is the great map of the
United States, worked out in growing
crops, each state being represented
by crops chiefly grown in that state.
This map covers six acres of ground.
One who has not seen the map may
have an idea of its immense size

She was a dear little girl. and had
spent most of her life in a country
rectory. 1t was not surprising, there
fore. that her knowledge of things
maritime and warlike was not ex-
tensive.
The young gunnery officer of H. NJ.
S. - had been showing her round
the battleship. 1t was the very first
warship of any kind she had ever
visited. and her mind was full of the
wonderful sights presented.
Being an industrious and a thor
ough young man, the gunnery lieu
tenant had explained very fully the
mechanism and the use of the tor
pedo in warfare.
She examined the long, deadly, ci-
gar-shaped engine of war critically
and fearfully.
Then she tapped 1t with the point
of her parasol and let her glove run
over its FURNISHED side. and finally
