THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1898-16 PAGES. eRe aanRES 1G: AND, PEO WEE FIGHT|MOTION” "OVERRULED 729 & 731 7th St. * mee XPERIENCE is a teacher that commands respect. This twentieth annual “first showing” of Spring Style Suits and Wraps at the Palais Royal will prove interestingly instructive. Experience has taught us to avoid extremes and thus visitors here tomorrow may be sure of avoiding the high- “priced novelties called “‘extreme” but really ab- surd. Extremely low-priced garments--trash-- have been likewise rejected. Experience, aided by good taste, has guided the Palais Royal selec- tions. A cash business has enabled advantageous buying, and so we have feast possible prices for ultra fashionable garments that are neither cheap and nasty nor high priced and absurd. The “first showing” tomorrow, to which you are re- spectfully invited. - tension Verdict, _ Right of Way Condemned—The Com- . the ral Parcels, - - Before Congress. - The Telephone Subscribers’ Association has ‘learned that the Chesapeake and Po- tomas Telephone Company is preparing to make a Vigorous fight against » reduction cf rates, and against permitting a cont petitor or competitors from entering the field here, and it is assumed by the associa- tion that the American Bell Telephone Company is back of the local company. 1¢ is said that ex-Senator Edmunds has been retained as counsel to represent the local company in the investigation to be made by a congressional committee, and it has been said that Mr. Edmunds is also one of the counsel for the American Bell Tele- phone Company. The local company has been called upon by the House committee to furnish such information as may be given that will enable the committee to de- % | termine as to what rates for telephone ser- § vice are just. y In this connection the association has learned that the tel ephone company ‘hits asked for time in which to prepare a staté- ment as requested by the House commit- tee. z z “In view of the activity of the company,” cbserved one of the subscribers today, “the association should double its energies and make a still harder fight, {f we hope to se- cure rates that are reasonable and a ser- vice such as we demand.”” No Change i - Judge Cox, #ittiie in the District Court, today ‘signed aiK@der: overruling the mo- to set, asia Verdict of-the.jury in ‘matter of f hing of the Suburban ‘Spbdivision “110. jDeralsoh and’ Leigh- ton’s subdivision, included within section 1 of the plan for .the extension of a per- manent system of highways in the District of.

French and Germun Armies Re- Armed. From the London Chronicle. Some little time aze—we think in July, 1s07—the German Emperor invited the mili- taches to breakfast, and after the told them it was no use keeping it @ secret any longer, but the German army had had its artillery changed without any- thing being known nut It. No fewer than five army corps had up till then been armed with the new gun, a quick-firing weapon made by Krupp, and by the mid- le of the present r all the field guns will have been replaced by quick-firing guns capable of throwing ten to twelve shells a minute to as great a distance as field guns and with higher destructive shells. How well the secret understood from the fact that Krupp employs 16,000 workmen end that yeral powers try to spend large sums in Germany to obtain military. and uavul Intelligence. Upen the kaiser’s revelation, the French military attache at once took train for Paris, and found his kovernment not un- prepared to deal promptly with the ques- ticn. In fact, a modet had been deter- mined upon some time before, and orders were immediately placed, not only with the government factories, but with a num- ber of private firms. Only the question of gost had prevented the French war office beforehand with the Germans, reason for this hesitation will bs grasped when it ix stated that the extra expenditure involve? within a very brief period exceeds ten millions sterling. The secret has been kept by the French nearly us well as the Germans kept theirs, but it 1s now known to several European govern- ments. ‘The weapon now in course of rapid manu- facture is a quick-firing gun, capable of iring at least ten shots a minute. It has & caliber of seventy-five millimetres (8 in.), the caliber of the French field gun being 90mm. G% in). and of the horse artillery gun Somm, weapon is very stmilar to the latest pattern of the Nordenfelt can- non. Its weight, fitted with automatic hydraulle or glycerine brakes to check re- coil, and with steel shields to reduce the tisk from infantry fire, is somewhat great- ¢r than that of the 9mm. field gun, but the range and the bursting power of the shell ure greater. The shell ‘is fitted with a very perfect percussion fuse, the accu- racy of which has Leen tested in the most thorough fashion. As many as 5,000 of these quick-firing | | \ guns for the French artillery aro bein; provided at a cost, including 1,000 Saari of ammunition for each, of £2,000 per gun. Up till January 1 this year 800 guns were completed, with their due proportion of projectiles. There will be enough guns in being before the end of the current year —— Papell ee mee artillery, and the le of e al lery will fore the end of 1808.” Reeroermed tice The French have satisfied themselves that, for effect, two of these guns are equal to a whole six-gun battery of fitld guns, with a margin to spare. Nevertheless, the superior council of war has decided that each battery shall, as heretofore, consist of six pieces. Thus the effective power of the French artillery will be at least tripled by the adoption of the quick-firing guns. In view of this decision it has been re- solved that each gun shall have not one, but two ammunition wagons, which will not remain in the rear, as in the case of the field batteries, but will come up with the guns Into action. This involves the — of thirty-six horses for each bat- ery. It must be remembered, first, that the problem of supplying ammunition in the field is made immensely more difficult by this new departure; and, secondly, that neither France nor Germany has adopted machine-guns ag we have done. These two facts enter materially into the question of the change from fleld guns to quick- firing guns. ————+ee_+__ A SALOON KEEPER'S PRICE LIST. Missour!

It is one of a few medals Presented by the President to certain gen- erals of the war of 1812. This~ particular medal was given to Brig. Gen. James Mil- ler, and on one side bears the portrait of Gen. Miller, and underneath {t his name and the words, “I'll try.” On the other side are recorded the resolution of Congress and the battles for which the medal was given. ‘Dhe battles recorded are: Chippewa, July 5. 1814; Niagara, July 25, 1814, and Erte, September 17, 1814. It is mounted on @ wooden base made out of timber from the hulk of the frigate Constitution. The medal weighs about elgnt ounces and a “There is a good story in the history of the Highlow National Bank,” said a di- rector of the institution, who was convers- ‘ng with a newspaper friend. “Our organization of that institution was looked upon as a somewhat questionable experiment in practical finance, but the event proves that we were equal to the un- dertaking. One of the first things was to create confidence. To. this end we inter- ested es many solid farmers es we could, and then chnched the matter by appointing the rural stockholders to select a presi- dent. As a matier of course, he was one of their own number, and notice of the honor conferred upon him was sent es a Christmas token. “This farmer president was as honest as the ddy is long, but his special fitness for the position open to question. We re- ceived from Washington a lot of bills, which es you know, had to be signed by the cashier and the president. The cash- ler affixed his signature and then sent the uncut sheets to the president, who took off his coat, stirred up the grate fire, and rolled up his sleeves preparatory to the unusual task placed before him. He scratched away for hours, and finally re- turned the sheets to the cashier. The prudent official soon discovered there were bills missing to the amount of about $600, but inferred that the president had charged the amount to himself and said nothing. After waiting till the new year called for a statement, the cashier directed the at- tention of the president to the discrepancy. *‘Jest send me some more,’ said the president. ‘I made a bad fist on some of Pong, bills end chucked them into the in the possession of the Prescott family of Brookline, and has just been given to the was @ gradvate of Dartmouth.

London Letter to the Philadelphia Ledger. A case interesting to orchid lovers, as well as to those who appreciate the finer points of law, has just been occupying the attention of the court of appeal. It took the form of an application by Mr. Wells to have the decision of the divisional court directing a new trial in the case of Ash- worth versus Wells set aside on the ground that the original judgment was right and of a collection valued at something like $100,000. One of the lots that Mr. Ash- was described in the cata. gests—and after two years the su «uk is proved to be not an auk, but a fowl, you cannot claim damages from the seller based on the difference of the price given for the egg and the hypothetical value of such bird as you hoped would be produced; the measure of damages would be the mar- ket value of such an article with the de- fect warranted against and the value of the thing withaut the defect; not, I submit, the difference between tife contract price and the price for which if the warranty had been true it might have sold for at some future date.” Ingenious as was this argu- ment it did not satisfy the court, who held that as a white cattclva, if such a thing ever existed, would have been worth an enormous sum, the £50 special damages claimed by Mr. Ashworth for his disap- pointment must be paid by Mr. Wells, and judgment was entered accordingly. ————~o-—___ SNOW CURE FOR PNEUMONIA, Herole Treatment Works Well in the Case of a Hartford Pati From the Hartford Times.
