MUST NOT ASSAULT GHOST.
At Least, in Germany the offense May
Bring Imprisonment.

Berlln.-A citizen of Wasungen
named Bach has just pleaded vainly
to the court Of criminal appeal at
Meiningen his right to attack a ghost
The story begins on December 81,
when a fellow citizen named Koenlg
told Bach II he would share his night
vigil as watchman he would see a
flckering light in the churchyard, as
Koenlg had done for years when the
old year died.
Bach went armed with revolver
and sword He saw a spectral light
and ran 20 the churchyard, where he
hailed a dim figure. Receiving no re-
ply, he slashed with his sword The
wounds caused the ghost to cry for
mercy. The ghost proved to be man
who, influenced by an ancient supersti-
ton, burned branches of a certain
tree in the churchyard to immunize
himself and others from supposed
evils.
Bach was subsequently sentenced
to six months Imprisonment for
wounding him. He appealed on the
ground that he really attacked a
specter and II was merely an accident
that he hurt a man. The judges seem
TO have held that even ghost is en-
titled to protection, and the sentences
was confirmed

CLARK CABIN FAMOUS.
LOG HOUSE NEAR LOUISVILLE
CRADLE OF NORTHWEST.
One Of the Most Curious Landmarks
Of Kentucky, from Which the

Standing.

Louisville Ky.--Just south of this
city, between the Newberg and Bards-
town roads, there stands log house,
more than century old, which is
one of the landmarks of American his

the cradle of the great northwest, for
It was from this house that the Lewis

The homestead which was known

A NOlSELESS GUN.
Dangerous Possibilities Of the lnven-
tion Of Hiram Percy Maxim.

Dangerous Possibilities Of the InVen-
tion Of Hiram Percy Maxim.
The terrible possibilities Of the new
silent gun, the invention of Hiram
Percy Maxim, have almost appalled,
the man who fathered the idea. The
Maxim family is a very inventive one,
especially where guns are concerned.
The Maxim In question is son Of Sir
Hiram $. Maxim, whose name is associ-
ated with many inventions of much i'm
portance and especially engines of war.
AS the elder Maxim invented the
Maxim quick firing gun and the auto
matte system of firearms, rs well as the
smokeless powder known as cOrdlte. 1t
seems quite in line with family tradl-
tlons that the younger man should in
vent a gun which may be fired without
making loud explosion. The principle
of this firearm is similar to that Of the
automobile muller. the gas produced
by the ignition of the powder being
allowed TO escape gradually, thus pre-
venting the sudden impact with the at
mosphere which causes the noise when
the ordinary rifle or pistol is fired. The
device may be applied to any ordinary
pistol or gun. Mr.. Maxim has FOX some

years been interested In the manufac-
ture OF automobile apparatus In com
mon with many others he was seeking
means of mulIling the reports Of gas
engines, and 1t was while doing so that
he ran across the invention he has just
patented. In the case of the automobile
he located the seat of the trouble in the
piston of the engine, and when he ar
rived at the solution OF the problem the
idea flashed across his mind that If he
could kill polse In the motor vehicle by
application Of the principle he had dis
covered he could apply the same theory
10 weapons OF war. Strangely enough
like the mythical individual who open
ed Pandora's box and let out the mis-
chief makers, Mr.. Maxim once he had
invented nolseless guns began TO re-
gret it on account Of the dangerous pos
sibilites he had created.
II am fully conscious" said he, "of
the awful possibilities of this gun,
and my conscience Is not at all easy
on the subject II It could be taken
hold Of by the government alone and
its manufacture be restricted TO the
government, 1t might not be so bad.
1t is not perfectly noiseless affair
that Is to say, there Is a slight Kissing
sound, perceptlble a few yards away
perhaps. But in the open air the rus
tling of the leaves in the trees or the
noise of passing wagons would com
pletely drown the sound of the gun.
You would not even know what had
killed the victim until an examination
was made"
Mr.. Maxim's fear Is that foreign
governments may learn the secret and
arm their forces with noiseless guns
or that the latter may get In the
hands OF the criminal classes, the
Black Hand conspirntors, for instance.
Perhaps" he says, I'D better get to
work right OFF and try to devise some
thing that will offer means OF pro
lection against the gun"

The governors friends say that Mr.. Al
llson ought to be content with the hon
ors he has had and give the younger
blood q chance. Mr.. Allison is the
dean of the senate, which he entered
In March, 1873, having previously
served in the house in the Thirty
eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and For
ty-first congresses. His service in the
senate covers period of thirty-hve
years. The senator recently celebrated
his seventy-ninth birthday. While he is
not the Oldest member of The senate.
his continuous service covers a period
longer than that which can be credited
to any other member.
Senator Allison and Governor Cum
Minis were born in adjoining states,
the former in Ohio and the latter in
Pennsylvania. The governor ~ fifty
eight and in the prime of his manhood
with iron gray hair and erect. athletic
figure. He is nearly six feet in height
1t has been said of him that wherever
he sits down there is the head of the
table. He Is the author of the iowa
idea" regarding the tariff and is the
first man in his state to be nominated
and elected governor for third term
He broke up the operations of the
barbed wire trust west of the Missis-
sippi and has fought the railroad lob
by In his state to standstill. Cum
Minis has been llkeEed to La Toilette.
The two have political histories in
many respects similar. Both have
presidential aspirations. Both stand
for tariff revision, for railroad control,
for primary reform and popular elec.
tion of senator's and elimination Of cor.
poration influence from politics. Cum.
minis has been carpenter, express mes.
senger civil engineer and lawyer. He
was candidate for the senate in 1899
and was defeated by three votes
through railroad influence.
Governor Cummins was pointed out
at the Republican national convention
in 1900 as the handsOmest man on the
platform. The first time he ran for
governor of Iowa they called him
"Handsome Albert" and the Des
Moines Apollo" in the notion that those
were damning epithets, but he was
nominated, and the veriest hayseed in
the convention that named him said.
"Well, our county want much for him.
but when | seen i'm up in IL room he
looked so much like a guv-ner that
concluded I'd vote for i'm, anyhow"
Senator Allison is recognized as one
of the foremost statesmen of his day.
He has been described as "the youngest
old man in the senate" He has red
cheeks and handsome head of rum
pied white hair. He Is polished, lei
surely and courteous upon all occa-
slons. was never known to be excited
or angry and In the course of his thlr-
ty-hve years OF service In the senate
has accumulated a store OF knowledge
which has made him of great value as
legislator for the nation. He has oft
en- been talked Of for president, but, as
some one put 1t, "the bee Of emulation
was In his bonnet; the canker OF dis
appointment was never In his heart"
His quiet. easy manner and his eau
tiousness In taking a position on any
question have led TO many jokes among
bis colleagues In the senate, with
