GRANDrsT SPECTACLE OF ALL

It the first national Inauguration since the Civil
War. The south sent up its warriors and its state
officials. Men who fought together in the with
Spain under flag executive officers of the states
that upheld the stars and those that for
the flag OF the nation marched together in review be-
fore their common president also soldier of the
public"
That paragraph in the report Of the inaugural
mony is worth thousand times than all the rest.
The spectacle of the north and the south shoulder to
shoulder again keeping step the music of the Union
sight to fire the patriotism of every Ameri-
It was the crownng act of reconciliation between
the once begerent sections of the country. 1t
formal notification to all the world that the blue and
the gray blended into single Color that the north
and the south brothers again, nov and forever,
one and nseparable."
Grand and glorious as all features Of the inaugural
display were, how insignificant the whole appears in
comparison with that blending of the blue and the gray.
Separate that inspirng feature from the rest and the
result is as chaf to wheat The professional pageant
the grandest witnessed in the United States,
probably Compared with that sublime spectacle of the
north and south touching shoulders however all else
was "as sounding brass or tinkling cymba."
The thousands of soldiers in line and the gaudily
arrayed officers we're typical of and its horrors
the rough riders cowboys and Indians suggested Buffalo
Bill and his great wild west aggregation" the
Hawaians, Porto Ricans and Filpinos reminders
of American conquest and ENHANCEMENT abroad. and
the great inaugural ball recalled Bunyans vanity Fair
Long after all these passing features of the Roose
welt Inauguration forgotten the picture will be vivid
in the American mind of that final hand-clasp of the
north and the south at the national capital and the
eternal pledge of "A union of hands, union of hearts

Judge Crutchfeld Of Richmond, va,
is credited with q sharper wit than
any jurist IN Virginia. on one occa-
sion he had two cases before him, one
being that of RED" Foster Of the
Richmond baseball team and the other
man charged with picking pockets.
The Judge is a baseball enthusiast,
and Fosters case was called first, in
order that the baseball player might
get into a game which the Judge In
tended to see. In fact he often adj
journed the police court in order TO
attend a game. The testimony was
conclusive and "Red" was fined $40
for striking a negro.
'If you could hit the ball, Red as
hard as you hit that black man you'd
be STAR" remarked his honor.
The pickpocket then came UP and
pleaded not guilty, but he was friend
less and the Judge said that he was q
suspicious character, anyway, and fined
him $40. The unfortunate fellow said
that he only had 81 in his possession,
whereupon the judge said to the balliff:
Turn this man loose in this crowd,
and if he doesn't raise enough in half
an hour to pay his fine he is inno-
cent; let him CO."
BY picking no pockets for half m
hour the fellow proved his innocence
and was charged.--Saturday Even

A NEW INDUSTRY
shaIe Is Used In the Manufacture OF
Paint

Paint
There are large deposits of black
sbale in the vicinity of Nashville
Tenn, which has never been found to
be of any use, but recently j. S. Hen
derson of that slty conceived the idea
that this material must have some
value, and gave the matter consider
able investigation, with the result that

article for the manufacture OF black
carbon paint. The gentleman sue

THE ARMY'S NEW GUN
It Is Superior to the Weapon Now
Used

1
Used
From the Washington Post
1t is announced that b. the first of
the next year there will be $4,000 new
guns ready to be issued to the soldiers
of this country. These will be superior
in number of ways to the Krag-Jor-
gensen, which is the type in use at
present Col. Frank H. Phipps of the
ordnance department is largely respon-
sible for the new gun. 1t is known as
the United States magazine rifle, model
of 1903
At the tests which were made when
the new weapon was under considera-
ton the accuracy of the new rifle was
found to be greater than that of the
Krag- -Jorgenesen, while its penetrating
power was far in excess. The bullet
penetrated $50 inches of white pine at
1900 yards. The striking energy of the
bullet at this distance is nearly 80 per
cent greater than that of the Krag.
The gun may also be fired with greater
rapidity and has the advantage of be-
ing fed by cartridges in clips, which
results in an appreciable increase in
the efficiency of fire, as the eye need
not be taken from the target during
the firing of each five cartridges.
The new rifle is covered with a
wooden case up to within two inches
hands during rapid fire. In the old
rifle practice the barrel became so hot
with rapid and continuous firing that
the users hands were blistered. The
magazine is entirely within the stock,
and altogether the new weapon is more
symmetrical than the old, as we'll as
| lighter. 1t weighs few ounces less
than nine pounds.
The rifle uses a cannelured cartridge
shell, with forty-four grains of smoke
less powder, and a smooth, sharp
pointed bullet weighing 22O grains.
The muzzle velocity is 2SOo feet per
second, 300 feet per second faster than
that of the Krag. The powder pres
sure is $4,000 pounds per square inch.
The ri1ing in the barrel makes one
turn in ten inches.
There are only ninety component
parts of the new rifle, as compared
with ninety-nine parts in the Krag
model of 1898. The bolt and magazine
mechanisms can be taken apart and
assembled much more readily. The
energy of the recoil is slightly greater
than that of the Krag. but that is a
thing that cannot be avoided If greater
velocity is to be secured. The weight
of the new rifle is 16 per cent less than
the Krag. which weighs 1854 pounds.
With the new rifle twenty-three
aimed shots have been fired in one
minute, using magazine fire. Firing
from the hip without aim. twenty
seven shots have been fired in minute
as single-loader, and thirty-tive with
the magazine. The maximum range OF
the weapon is computed at 47S1 yards
recurring an elevation of AZ degrees

A RAILWAY SCARECROW

mass of literature has sent recently from
certain eastern points, evidently at the instance of
the railway companies, with the obvious purpose of
checking the trend of public opinion relative to the
proposed enlargement of the interstate commerce COM
missions power.
The railway managers a unit, of course, in op
position to any interference with their traffic schedules.
Having long been accustomed to ignoring the rights
of shippers they cannot brook the thought of
plan intended hedge their assumed prerogatve. How
they causing literary matter to be sent broad
cast embodying arguments against any such super
vision of traffic is contemplated in the presi
dents plan for giving the interstate commission certain
supervisory power in ratemaking.
The method employed to influence the public mind
on this subject is characteristic of monopoies All
arguments adduced in the literary stuff referred to has
for it's basis the assumption that the whole financial
and industrial underpinnng of the country will be
knocked to smithers if the proposed plan succeeds
The people told gravely that the fourteen bill
lion dollars of American wealth represented by the
railways is in jeopardy. "The only possible inherent
value of that wealth." declares output of the rail-
way literary bureau, lis in prospective net earnings;
destroy confidence that this becomes doubtful and
the consequences cannot be imagined
The ever-ready pen of Henry Cews, Wall street
banker and exponent of monopolies, contributes his
share in aid of the railway companies in this fashion,
"Rate-making would be unjust exercise of govern
ment power. No commission that be organized
would be competent to deal with such vast and COM
plcated piece of work 1t might logically attempt
to fix the price of butter and eggs with different
ditions in nnumerable markets.
But all such palaver is blind intended to deceive
the public Henry Clews and his collaborateurs in
the of the railways, know well that there
is no thought of empowering the interstate commission
to take charge of traffic schedule making. In assuming
such purpose the scribes merely setting up
straw man and then knocking it down. They start
with false hypothesis and their deduction is
sarily falacious.
All that is expected desired in the proposed in
crease of power for the commission concerning the
railways is that the fragrant abuses in rate-makng
notorious that they cannot be defended shall be
stopped The idea that there is any intention of ex
tensive interference with railway traffic arrangements
is ridiculous.
1t is an old trick of monopoists to frighten the
public if possible, by dreful predictions of disaster
likely result from interference with their schemes.
But no such apparitions will scare the American
people
There is marvellous unanimity of sentiment
throughout the country in favor of curbing the trusts
and controlling railway rates where they are mani
festy unjust and that feeling will not down" until the
purpose has been accomplished.
