New York, Dec, 1.-They saw the
star last night--those hopeless human
derelicts in Madison Square, and per-
haps they will be more hopeful. The
Idealsts aimed at that result. Though
hope is supposed to beat eternal in the
human breast, the brand Of expectancy
common around Madison Square has
been at low ebb for many years. The
homeless and iobless have first claim on
the benches in the old rectangle, and
their share Of hope has been limited,
but the star may help.
The Ideansts--a group of charitable
and benevolent New Workers, with
more money than their needs require,
who were careful that their names were
not made public--erected the star. IT
is a five-pointed emblem, two feet
across, set on high pole. Scores Of
electric bulbs that compose the star
shed their pure white rays over Madi-
son Square, from sunset to runrise. The
star will shine every night, except dur

INVENTION OF THE REVOLVER
With Rotating Chamber Breech
His Career in Brief

The first successful revolver, or pis-
tol with rotating chambered breech.
was the invention of Samuel Colt, who
was born at Hartford. Conn, ninety.
nine years ago. Colt was the son OF a
manufacturer, and his inventive ge.
MUS first found expression in his IA
Tiers shop. He was sent to school at
Amherst, Mass. but ran away to sea
and made a voyage to India. On re-
turning he was apprenticed to a chem.
list. but after which. under the name
of Or. Coult," he visited all parts OF
the United States and Canada lectur-
ing on chemistry. He earned a con
siderable sum OF money, which he
spent in perfecting his invention Of
the revolver, the germ of which he had
tn. He was only fifteen when he
made his first model, in wood. which
is still in existence. At twenty-one
he patented his first revolving pistol
In England, France and the United
States. At this time he did not know
that others had conceived the idea
OF revolver. but, while such was
the case, they were far more likely
TO kill the man who used them
than the object aimed at, Colts first
factory was established at Paterson,
N. j., but failed. Later he opened a
plant in his native city. and became
wealthy from the sale OF his inven-
ton. Colt also laid the first successful
submarine cable, between Coney Is
land and New York, in lS43.
