HOT SHOT AND BOMB THROWING.
Big Artillery Training School to be
Established at Fort Monroe, Va.

New York, August 15.-An-
nouncement is made that a great
artillery training school that will
be to the United States army
what the school of Shoeburyness
is to the Brithish army Is about
to be established at Fort Monroe,
Va, for the higher technical of
the officers and enlisted men of
the artillery corps, United States
army. The scheme, which calls
for the consolidation into one
great school of all the existing
training schools of the coast artil-
ry,is being perfected by Brig. Gen.
Murry, the chief of artillery.
The next batch of young officers
and enlisted men to report for
instruction will be ordered to pro-
coed to the new institution on the
shore of Hampton Roads.
The government is determined to
make the coast artillery as perfect
an organization of the kind as
exists in the world today, and this
new school will increase in every
respect the efficiency of the men
who man the great notifications
that guard the sea approaches to
the principal American ports.
The Fort Monroe school will be
in charge Of a colonel, and each
of the departments will be pre-
sided over by a major. Col. Har-
rison, now in command at Fort
Monroe, will probably be the first
head of the institution.
At Fort Totten, Major g.. F.
Barney, of the coast artillery
corps, said that the scope of the
new school was on a larger scale
than vehattempted in this coun-
try before. As yet no official
name for the school has been de-
cided upon, although it is the i'm
preston among the artillery Off
GERS that it will be known as
either the coast artillery or the
coast defense school of the United
States army.

leased today from the Ohio State
penitentiary, is to engage in the
business of manufacturing auto
mobiles and if his plans 90
through a good motor car will soon
be within the reach of persons Of
moderate means. Hoover is a
former bank cashier of Newark

element.
While in prison he formed a
friendship for Harry Reynolds,
who was sent up from Cleveland
for bigamy. Reynolds, who was
recently released on parole, de-
voted much of his time in prison
to working on plans for a cheap
automobile. Before his release
he had perfected inventions and
plans for building a serviceable

WHOLE FAMILY POISONED.
Negro Cook Arrested, Being Suspected
Having Put Rat Poison In the Coffee.

Winston-Salem, August 49,
Charged with poisoning the fam
lily of G F. Wooster, in Salem,
by putting poison in the coffee,
Mamie Shore, a negress, who 2as
been doing the family cooking,
was given a hearing tonight be-
fore police Justice Ellis, in Salem.
The justice held that there was
probable cause and in default of
bond committed the defendant to
jail
About fifteen minutes after eat
ing supper last night Mrs. Wooster
and four children we're taken vio-
lsntly i'll. Physicians were hur-
riedly summoned. One of the
children had recovered in ten
minutes after being taken ill.
Mrs. Wooster and the other chill
dren continued very i'll all night
and during today, but they are
now regarded as being out of dan
ger.
Mr.. Wooster, who conducts a
barber shop, was at his place of
business. His supper was sent to
him, but for some reason he did
not eat any of it. The arrest of
the negress was made by Wooster,
who is a private detective and
special police officer.
DR.. A. A. Lott, the physician
who attended the poison stricken
family, makes no statement as to
the nature of the poison. He
says that there is no doubt but
that there a poison but says he
does not know what was used.
A box of lightning rat killer was
found near the home this norm
ing by Harrel Kerns, a little boy.
Wooster thinks that this is what
was used by the cook. He thinks
that it was put in the coffee. The
only motive for the cooks deed is
that Mr.. Wooster had scolded her
for n%egfecting her work about the
house. There are several rumors
regarding the affair and there may
be some sensational developments
before the matter is finally DIS
posed of.-Special to Charlotte
Observer.

The Islands Resources.

The agricultural resources of the island
of any land on earth and is capable of pro-
ducing an unlimited amount of sugar,
coffee, cocoa, tobacco and other tropical
staples and fruits. The highlands in the
interior are covered with rich pasturage
capable of sustaining millions of cattle and
sheep; the forests are rich in rosewood,
satinwOod, cedar, lignum vitae and other
valuable cabinet woods, while experts be-
lieve that the mountains are full of min
erals. Although San Domingo was the
earliest settled section of the American
hemisphere although millions of dollars
have already been taken from the mines,
and the enslavement of the natives to dig
for gold and silver was the chief cause of
the troubles of Columbus yet the Island Is
practically UNEMPLOYED. No one knows
what is concealed in the mountains in the
interior, and prospectors who have been
housing around believe that the deposits
of gold, silver and copper very rich. 1t
has been demonstrated that there is plenty
of coal and petroleum. There is already

ramon Caceres, who now occupies the Of
flee, is making fairly good president. The
Ola parties are still in existence, and there
Is no telling when they may organize an
other revolution. But within the last few
months several of the chronic revolutionary
leaders have been killed executed and
the probabilities of a successful insurrec
ton are being gradually diminished
EX-Presdent Morales is either at San
Juan, Porto Rico, or at st. Thomas. He is
dividing his time between those two places
and, while he has not given up his ambi
ton to recover power, he has recently
fused overtures from ex-President Jmenez
one of his former rivals, to pool their issues
and make a combined assault upon the
present government. The difficulty seems
to have been that neither of these amiable
gentlemen would trust the other. Morales
has been lying low ever since his expulsion
from the country. He has been doing moth
ing, but is believed to be waiting for an
opportunity.
A FOOLED Revolution.
Gen. Jimenez visited New York last sum
mer and succeeded in obtaining a large
quantity of arms and ammunition from
the agents of the Cuban revolutionists, who
had no further use for them. These sup
plies were shipped by steamer to Turks
Island where Gen. Enrique Jimenez, a
nephew of the eX-president and a boy
only-twenty-siX years oid-and Gen. Pedro
LaSala, another of JimeneZ's ieutenants
received them. loaded them upon little
schooner and landed them upon the Domint-
can coast near the city of Santiago de las
CaballeroS where Gen. Lasaa had a planta-
ton. 1t seems to have been the intention
of the party to conceal the arms and am
munition upon his premises until tfey coulc
organize a force to use them, but within a
few days after their arrival they We're be-
trayed and the house of Gen. Lasala was
attacked by a large body of government
troops. He was killed and young Enrique
Jimenez and one of the other leaders are
reported to nave been hanged to a tree in
the neighborhood. The remainder of the
party, fifteen or sixteen in number were
all killed captured. This episode has
had very discouraging effect upon the
revolutionary leaders, and since its occur
renee in November last they have been I'M
usually quiet. EX-President Jimenez Is
supposed to be in New York city.
The funding of the debt of San Domingo
into longtime bonds and the assurance
that its revenues, which amount to more
than s.. 600 600 a year, will be honestly col
lected and applied to legitimate purposes
ought to bring about permanent peace AMI
permit the development OF the marvellous
resources of that island. So long as the
collection of the revenue is intrusted to
agents appointed by the United States gov
eminent the principal incentive for revolu
tiorary movements will be removed. As
pirants for the presidential cthce have not
been actuated by ambition so much as by
avaTiCe. When they become convinced that
the revenues are out of their reach they
will not be so anxious TO organize revolu-
tons.

A Wb;rIuind Shin.

''Typhonoid," a word derived from 6 Greek term meaning whirlwind, has been applied to a new type of boat in- vented by a French engineer, who seeks to do away with the present day screw propeller. The new screw Is placed at the bow of the boat instead of at the stern, and it is believed that by 1t the centrifugal displacement and the central void of the present type are converted into benefits, and the limit to the advantageous increase in veloci- ty of rotation of the propeller is re- moved. The apparatus is designed to work by suction in the manner of a waterspout. The inventor figures that his boat, with a thirty-two and a half inch screw, will go through the water at a rate of more than sixty-two miles an hour.

BUCKING AN ICE FEOE.
An Incident In One of Peary's Arctic
 ExpIoratIon Trips.

Exploration Trips.
 One of the most striking passages in Robert D. Peary's Nearest the Pole" is his description of the action of an ice foe which threatened his ship. He writes: "Its slow, resistless motion was frightful, yet fascinating. Thou sands of tons of smaller ice which the big foe drove before 1t the Roosevelt had easily and gracefully turIsd under her sloping bilges, but the edge of the big foe rose to the plank sheer, and few yards back from its edge was an old pressure ridge, which rose higher than the bridge deck. This was the crucial moment. For minute or so, which seemed an age, the pressure was terrific. The Roosevelts ribs and interior bracing cracked like the dis charge of musketry, the deck amid- ships bulged up several inches, while the main rigging hung slack and the masts and rigging shook as in a vio- lent gale. Then, with mighty tremor and a sound which reminded me of an athlete intaking his breath for a su- preme effort, the ship shook herself free and jumped upward till her pro- peller showed above water. The big foe snapped against the edge of the ice foot forward and aft and under us, crumpling up its edge and driving it in- shore some yards, then came to rest, and the commotion was transferred to the outer edge of the foe, which crum- bled away with dull roar as other foes smashed against it and tore off great pieces in their onward rush, leaving the Roosevelt stranded, but safe."
 On another occasion it required thir- ty-five and a half hours of incessant strain and struggle to clear way through the obstructing ice foes to the open water beyond. Mir Peary says: "The Roosevelt fought like gladiator, turning, twisting, straining with all her force, smashing her full weight against the heavy foes whenever we could get room for q rush and rearing upon them like a steeplechaser taking fence. An, the thrill and tension of 1t, the lust of battle, which crowded days of ordinary life into one! The for ward rush, the gathering speed and momentum, the crash, the upward heave, the grating snarl of the ice as the steel shod stem split it as a ma sons hammer splits granite or trod it under or sent 1t right and left in whirl. ing fragments, followed by the violent roll, the backward rebound and then the gathering for another rush were glorious"
 At such times the physical tension was intense: Every one on deck hung with breathless interest on our move ment, and as Bartlett and clung in the rigging heard him whisper through teeth clinched from the purely physical tension of the throbbing shir under us: Give 1t to 'em, Teddy; give 1t to 'em" More than once did fire man come panting on deck for breath of air, look over the side, mutter tC himself. By thunder. she's got to gC throughr then drop into the stokehold with the result moment later of ar extra belch of black smoke from tho stack and an added turn or two to tht propeller."
