MIR. HALLE HAS RESIGNED

Mr.. Sidney Halle, agent at the Sea-
board depot, where he has been for a
good many years, has rendered his
resignation and will be checked out
and his successor appointed as soon
as the arrangements can be made.
Mr.. Halle is one of the most capable
and popular railroad me in the city
and every man here is his friend. 1t
will be a source of much regret to
them all that his health is such as to
decide him to give up Office work. Mr..
Halle will go to his farm west Of
Gainesville a few miles, where he and
his brothers have a very valuable
property and he feels sure that the
open air work he will engage in will
soon restore his health. His family
will remain in the city for the winter
at least in their pretty home on Okla
waha avenue. While it has often had
occasion to "kuss" his road, this pa
per will feel in the resignation of Sid
Hale that it has lost a warm personal

six and half feet high and three feet
wide in the form of half an irregular
octagon. The walls and Ceilings are of

travels from end to end.
The cathedral Of the Tai MahaI in
Agra, India, has most marvellous ech
Oes and reverberating qualities, but IS
scarcely a whispering gallery. The
whole cathedral Of Girgenti, I'm Sicily.

GuNPOWDER IN WAR.
For Centuries Its Use Was Opposed In
the Name of Humanity.

the Name OF Humanity.
There was q period when any kind Of
explosive" lighting il war was con
sidered barbarJus. The discovery OF
EunpOwder put a stop 10 the old fash
iOned method OF attack, in which only
missiles anu sharp edged weapons were
considered ethical but gunpOwder did
not come into approval without a
struggle. In fact. it was under the
humanity" ban for almost three cen
turies.
This remarkable compound OF salt.
peter. sulphur and charcoal. which was
given its first tryout at the siege of
COnstantinOple in 1453, had been
known 10 both the chemist and the
soldier for 4 hundred years or more
Ii is said 10 have been discovered by
Roger Bacon in England about the
year 1890 and by a German monk
named Schwarz twenty years later
Another independent discOverer OF the
same dangerous mixture was an IN
known and uHcelebrated Moor. whose
secret was ultimately carried into Eu-
rope in the fourteenth century. Even
he was not the first TO make an ex-
plosive compound The Chinese beat
him 10 il" having used this same kind
Of mixture for rocket signals before
the Christian era.
The fall Of COnstantinople was
brought about by the use, the wholly
unethical and altogether barbarous use,
Of cannon balls, and il was not until
about a century later that the world
gave its full sanction to the Killing of
men by means Of gunpowder.-StL Louis
