A new supply of lists of retail mer-
chants and manufacturers. who give
votes in The Washington Herald's 5000
contest, has Just been received by The
Advocate, and will be given gladly to
contestants who call for them.
These lists are neatly and compactly
printed. Every contestant should call at
the business office of The Herald and
receive a supply. Many have already
realized the advantage derived from this
and have called on The Advocate for
copies Of the lists. These lists should
be distributed by the contestants among
their friends. with the request that they
patronize the merchants and manufac-
tured products and save the votes due
them.
The Advocates Office is open all hours
of the day and night, and these lists
may be obtained by merely calling at the
business office. The Advocate Is always
delighted to see contestants and talk
over with them any matters relating to
the competition which they may desire
enlightenment upon. Inquiries concern
ing the contest sent through the mail
will be answered through the columns Of
The Herald. Many contestants are tele-
phoning inquiries. In most cases II is
possible for The Advocate to give imme-
date answers, but at times there are
Questions which require his careful and
thoughtful attention. The answers to
such questions will be published in The
Herald from time TO time.
Scores Are Entering.
Scores Of persons are still entering the
contest daily. Every mail brings addi-
tional nomination blanks to The Advo-
cate. Upon the acceptance of the nomi-
nation the nominee is credited with 1000
votes as a starter. Only one nomination
Is accepted for each nominee. The re-
ceipt of additional nomination blanks
for the same contestant indicates the
popularity of that person, but does not
go to his credit in the race for the $4,000
in awards.

CAPT. M'HoRNEYs STORY.

Capt. Edward McHorney of the Jer-
sey City police department, who was
the principal factor in the capture OF
the First National bank burglars, was
one of the bravest men who ever won
a silver shield. Captain McHorney
died few years ago from a disease
that was indirectly the result Of the
with Nose Vogel, and shortly before
death sealed his lips told me this
story:
The capture of Vogel, Dago Frank
and Johnson was due 20 the curiosity
of woman. Her name was Mrs.
Francis, as I recollect 1t, and she ran
a boarding house over Narew's oyster
saloon, which adjoined the bank. One
of the thieves-Vogel, think-hired
a room from her on the second floor,
which adjoined the bank on the east,
and opened studio as a blind.
Every morning regularly Mrs.
Francis was called into the studio by
the sculptor to clean up the place.
The floor she always found covered
with marble dust and chips of stone,
and an elegant screen stood in front
Of the fireplace. The sculptor always
sat near the screen with big apron
on and chatted pleasantly with his
landlady.
Things went on for week or more
in this way. The sculptor kept ham
mering away, and Mrs. Francis en-
joyed her morning call. 1t was along
about housekeeping time, and Mrs.
Francis started In one morning to
clean the windows on the sculptor's
floor
"In passing through the hall with
step ladder it struck her that IL
would be good opportunity to see
the sculptor at work. She heard him
pounding on stone, in the room, and
cautiously put up the ladder in front
of the door. The fan light was open,
and it was this trivial oversight that
threw down three of the best men in

from every angle, and there were nu-
merous tiffs between girls, who had
disagreed as to the beauty qualifica-

women learned that Whitley Jack"
Lewis had been caught and brought

visitors, "Gyp the Blood is said to

PREPARING FOR ACTUAL WAR
Large Sums Of Money Expended for
Models Destroyed as Object
Lesson for Cunners.

Near Okehampton, England, the
other day dummy village that had
been especially built for the purpose
was blown to pieces by shell fire from
battery of heavy guns placed some
distance away, the object of the Gu
rious and costly experiment being, of
course, to find out exactly what would
happen to a real village In similar
circumstances, says Pearson's Weekly.
The idea, which is not exactly q
new one, was borrowed originally
from Germany, where some very elab.
crate experiments on similar lines
have been conducted.
One of these involved the construc-
ton of an exact model to scale of the
great Fortress of Spandau. The mod
ell was not toy, but real fort in
miniature, covering over four acres Of
ground and costing $675,000 to build.
Walls, bastions,- giacis, redoubts,
were all solidly and substantially
made. A powder magazine, in which
some scores of barrels of powder were
stored, was placed in exactly the same
position as the real powder magazine
occupied in the real fortress. Even
the money tower" wherein is kept
at Spandau, ever since 1874, the sum
of $6,OO0,O0O in coin for the purpose
of immediate use in case of war, was
duplicated, and dummy treasure
chests" filled with steel ingots, were
placed inside it. When all was ready
the bombardment commenced. The
guns used were real cannons, but they
were fitted inside the bores with in
ner Jacket" tubes, SO as to admit of
miniature shells being fired at the
miniature fortress.
Four hundred shots were fired, but
the magazine remained unexploded,
although every effort was made to de-
molish it. The money tower, how
ever, was wrecked and the treasure"
was scattered in all directions.
A far more elaborate experiment,
also conducted by Germany, was made
in 1869, when Bismarck and Moltke to-
gether were planning to attack
France A scale model of Paris was
built, with the Notifications and prin-
cipal buildings all carefully marked
oute These were then bombarded at
various distances, and the effects care
fully noted.
AS a result, when the real Paris
came to be bombarded in grim earnest
some two years later the German ar
tillerymen were able to place their
shells within the doomed city exactly
how and where they liked, having pre-
viously got the ranges by experiment
ing on the model.
1t will doubtless surprise many peo-
pie, too, to learn that similar tactics
have been adopted by Germany as re-
CARDS England. Large-siZe scale mod
els of the Notifications of Portsmouth.
at all events, were constructed and
blown to pieces by shell fire some
little time back on lonely spot in
the Island of Rugen, III the Baltic sea,
and doubtless other experiments of
like nature have been carried out.

A ss,ooo,ooo PLOT THAT FAILED

GE|a F all the thieves whom it has
HtZSNSAIH been my lot to know init
NEnSMt mately | have the kindliest
HNgITMB recollection of Nose Vogel.
Hl0ENH There was something in
tensely human about the
man; whimsical, humorous way, that
made you forget that he was one of
the most desperate bank robbers ever
dealt with by the New York police
He was closely associated with all Of
the best crooks of the world in his
day, and his shrewdness and pluck
made him in great demand as part
ner, even though it was well known in
the underworld that Nose had been
born under an unlucky star. He met
with more reverses than any crook l
have ever known, and as I do not
credit, of course, the infallibility Of the
little Goddess of Luck in guiding the
lives Of the knights of the dark Ian
tern and Jimmy, I am willing to offer
Moses misfortunes as cumulative evil
dence of the final futility of crime.
He has long since passed to his
final reward, but / remember as clear

in the old Mulberry street station and
