gives different results when fired, it is difficult to determine accurately what one of the big guns will do or where the projectiles will go unless the age of the powder in the shell is known. Some officers, believe, this would be a great handicap in time of war when the powder factories might be called upon to turn out powder as rapidly as possible, and the army and navy would be compelled to use the green powder along with the more seasoned ammunition. They think that if a reserve supply sufficient for two or three years ordinary use could be kept on hand the powder used by both the army and navy could be. drawn from this reserve and thus be con stantly uniform in quality and weight.
 \ joint board has been appointed to look into this question and that of the present supply of ammunition in this country. It will also investigate the capacity of existing powder concerns for supplying the needs of the army and navy in time of war. During the Spanish war the powder concerns were called upon by the government and responded heroically, but had the war lasted any length of time it is doubtful if they could have kept up with the demands, for ill time of peace the gov ernment does not consume sufficient powder to justify the plants in main taining large establishments to be available merely in time of war. \ reserve supply of powder in the pos. session of the government would be quite safeguard. s-e...-s

New Haven officials favor the per manent adoption of the typewriter as a means of making public records. It is found to contribute to speed, legibility, neatness and uniformity, with mini mum of individuality. This being the case it would seem to be almost as much a business necessity that the use of the typewriter be taught in the pub lie schools as that students be required to become good penmen.-Anson1a Sen tinel -.,.

 According to our Washington Cor respondent. if anything is done with the tariff in the way of reciprocity and retaliation. it will be to add 9 per cent to the Dingley rates as against nations which are raising their customs taxes against Misunderstanding the full Dingley rates as a reciprocal conces- sion. This would of course be making a bad matter worse for it is the exces- sive Dingley rates which are causing such reprisals as Germany will soon put into force.

 General Bingham takes office under more favorable conditions than did MT Roosevelt or any of his predeces- sors. He is to be ''on the level" as befits an officer of the army and of the city government To show his good faith, he abolishes the ''shoo- fys." or police spies. So far, so good. The general plainly means to be Her culean in the Augean stables: history does not record. however. thar Her cules talked in the manner of the Eliz- abethans.

HIS INAUGURATION.
Governor Guild Opens Bay ae-t :. State Legislature.
BOSTON A GREAT METROPOLIS.
Massachusetts Has Demanded From Federal Government a Tarin Framed to Meet Modern
 Conditions.

Conditions. I BOSTON. Jan. ,. - The legislature was opened here with the usual ceremo- nies. The inaugural, address of Gov ernor Curtis Guild, Jr., at the state house was in part as follows:
 With deep sense of gratitude to the citizens of the commonwealth I ask your cooperation and promise you mine in the task of legislation that has been set before us.
 We are met in no mean city. The real Bostonis the greater Boston that includes the homes as we'll as the work shops and counting houses of this com munity. i It is great metropolis a greater metropolis than its own citizens perhaps appreciate. It should be devel- oped as such.
 ''The combined exports and imports of Boston are exceeded only by those of New York. This is the second seaport in the United States. It must not retro grade.
 Through the conventions of her two great parties. through her general court and governor, Massachusetts has al- ready demanded from the national gov ernment immediate construction of a tariff framed to meet the lines of mod, ern competition. Massachusetts asks the removal of such duties as are now needless, the reduction of such duties as were once just but are now excess sive. and the development not of our commerce alone. but of the commerce of the United States by more friendly trade treaties with other nations. In such investigation of the real needs of American industries Massachusetts asks no exclusive favors. We under stand that the removal of the duty on hides means a revision of the duty on goods that are made from hides.
 Massachusetts stands at the council board of the nation not as broken beggar. whimpering for an aims. but as strong man demanding aggressive action from his peers.
 Such action has already been urged on president and congress through our senators and representatives on whom alone the constitution imposes the re- sponsibility to the people for such na- tional legislation. We await their championship of our cause with trust and confidence.
 We legislate for a single common wealth. but that commonwealth is Mas sachusetts. The pilgrims faced cold and starvation to found an asylum for freedom: they did not arrange for in terference with the destinies of the far thest east. yet because of the fOunda- tions of American government. laid amid the winter gales at Plymouth. Anson Burlingame opened China to the world and Theodore Roosevelt sent peace among the nations. Those who have deserved best of their fellow men are those who. called to service. have sought to do the clearest. nearest duty well and have found that honor fol- lowed without seeking.
 The founders of Massachusetts set their hands to the rocks and the for ests. They did not impotently raise them to the skies.
 Amidst the storm they sang.
 And the stars heard and the sea

Whatever may be the cause, there

heard a quaint instance Of this in re-

among other buildings, a great hotel

| The story goes that when the mon

bell and book set his curse upon the
spot. Anyhow, there had been within
recent memory perpetual series OF
disasters connected with it. Buildings
erected on 1t were burned down, syndi-
Gates formed to developed 1t went
bankrupt; but a group of shrewd city
men formed a scheme for purchasing
this site and making AN enormous pro-

The cooperation Of a certain eanny
| Scot-one Of the shrewdest men in the
city-was invoked. He had almost
given in his adhesion when he heard
/ the story of the curse. He did NOT
break off negotiations, but he suspend
ed them Quietly he made inquiries as
to the whereabouts in England Of a
branch Of the order which had been
evicted in Henry's time. There was
i such a branch In Devonshire.

Upito six In the morning, we found
much doing in the camp. The big wag-
on attracted us at once, for the end

back, propped by stake in the ground,
formed a table around which stood
several cowboys disposlng of quantities
Of ham and eggs.
Around the fire stood pots and pans
from which others OF the crew filled tin
cups and plates. Oh, how good was the
smell of ham upon the keen morning
alrl Well, If this was the chuck wag-
on, we were indeed glad to meet it.
But these real cowboys didn't look SO
much like Remington pictures as we
expected; here was one In oyeralls,
dark flannel shirt, vest, small felt hat
named Boston, so the cattle owner s
wife said; but not realizing Boston's
possibilities, we turned from him to
Pete, There was the big hat, macki-
nav. sheepskin "chaps," blinking spurs,
heavy quirt-all the attributes of the
picture cowboy.
Al veil from the men interrupted our
contemplation. "Jack's horse is buck
ingr' And sure enough it was. Jack, a
well built Indian, sat his pinto" with
perfect calm, it bucking all over the
place, while his sonbrero, his counte-
nance and the heavy braids over his
shoulders remained equally unmoved.
His general get up was more like BOs-
toms than that of Pete, and he was one

Other men were saddling the ponies

by the river. This process, in addition
to Jacks riding, was as god as Wild

the bank was thoroughly approaching.
However, when cook looked up from a

our eyes on those who had breakfasted
before us, we found plates and cups
