Dur as early as 1866 a French ott1cer,
Chassepot by name. invented a rife
having a caliber Of ID millimeters.
which carried 1000 feet Ten years be-
fore this accomplishment would have
seemed quite impossible On Nov. 4.
1867, the new Chassepot rifle was sub
mitted to Il practical test. The French
sent detachment Of men to occupy
Rome and to hold 1t against the ad-
vancement OF Garibaldi. The effect of
the new rife In the engagements was
so remarkable that the entire French
army was Immediately equipped with
Chassepots.
The Chassepot rifle weighed nine
pounds, and the Gras rife, which was
introduced In 1874. weighed nearly as
much, but 1t had carrying distance Of
5000 feet. After remaining the same
for 217 years. the carrying distance Of
firearms was thus increased in fifteen
years by 5,165 feet At the same time
the 1rearms of the Austrians. Prus-
SLAMS and Italians were also greatly
improved, and 4 repeating rife firing
sixteen shots q minute and having a
carrying distance OF 1900 feet came
into practical use.
The rifles in use today are much
lighter, are more easily handled and
carry a distance of more than 10000
feet at the rate Of 2,T00 feet per Sec
ond. The revolver was first introduced
in 1850; since then it has also under
| gone great improvement. Its carrying
distance, whieh e.t nrst was only about
100 feet, was increased to $50 feet,
then $50, and finally 1000 feet
In comparison with such means OF
defense and offense 1t is interesting to
call to mind the weapons Of the an
clients. a javeln could be th own
about eightyfo four feet; the sling ordi-
narily hurled its missile 266 feet, the
Baleartc slingmen being famous, how
ever, because they could hurl a stone
333 feet The wooden bow was in use
until the middle Of the fifteenth CEN
tury; by means of 1t an arrow could be-
propelled q distance Of 265-330 feet,
while the steel crOSsbow, which came
into use later, carried from $50 to $40
feet. The old blunderbuss OF the pill
grims, which was supported on fork,
was effective for about 500 feet The
early musket carried about GOO feet
This drearm was much improved, so
that 1t could shoot a distance OF 835
feet and this was the best the world
knew until Philadelphia Press.

Police Arrest Organizer Mcmahon
But Remains On Job. Samuel
Gompers to Speak There
Decoration Day.

1t has been reported to this Office
that the machinists have some diff
6culty in their work of organizing
in Columbus, Ohio. The machin-
lists in the capitol city are gradually
making application to the union
but all kinds of methods are being
used by the manufacturers to keep
them from doing SO. A few weeks
ago one of the sluggers employed
by the manufacturers enticed Or
ganizer M. ]. Mcmahon to nearby
cafe and after being in his company
for more than an hour assaulted
Mcmahon in a cowardly manner.
The slugger who did the work was
life long friend of McMahons but
allowed himself to be used to do
this dirty work.
Mcmahon was also called before
the city authorities and gwen
twenty four hours TO leave town.
He as free American citizen re-
fused to leave and Is still there.
He was again arrested the other
day and again told to leave, but he
is not going to leave Columbus un-
til the Grand Lodge of the Inter-
national Association of Machinists
order him to do so. The late ar
rest was another bluff concocted by
TIE manufacturers and put over by
the police who we are told are do
ing every thing possible TO check
the organization work of the union.
Samuel Gompeis President of
the American Federation Of Labor
will speak in Columbus, Ohio,
ID coration Day, May Both. Com
pers will without doubt enlig hten
the citizens of that city, just what
kind of police force and city adj
miuistration they hare President
Johnston, who was expect, d to be
in Columbus and other parts of the
state this month, has sent word
that it will be impossible for him
to come. AS soon as pressing mat
ters in other parts of the country
are attended to he will again visit
Ohio.
Organizer Mcmahon organized
the Hooking Valley machinists last
