The Navy Department has recently j
placed orders for forcings for guns o '

supply tho new battleships, and in a '
short time tho navy yard factory will ',

fective as the present Ki-inch trun in
range and striking force. 'The new gun '
will send its projectile at tho enormous

is about r0 per cent, greater than the
velocity of the present Pbiueh shell.
Where America is Winning Her Way.
The United States cousul at Vienna
in a leport to the State department on
the trade of Austria-Hungary for bv7
ascribes the general decrease in ex
ports to this country to tho fact that
the same goods are now manufactured
in the United States and can be sol.lnt
the same or lower prices thru the Aus- j
trian goods. The report is that Amen-
can silk is being sold in Lyons, the ,
real silk centre of Europe, and the :
French manufacturers are buying it iu '.
largo quantities, especially that used j
for lining purposes, to take the place of j
that formerly imported from Austria '
and Germany.
The Reason Why. !
The impression is daily gaining ere- j
denco that tho so-called "secret" which '
intlueuces each war minister to oppose '
the revision of the Dreyfus case at any
cost, is the appalling fact that a ma- '
loritv of the general stall' was leacued
in tfite corrupt and traitorous practices '
of which Drevfus was the only 6care-
goat. 1 he disclosure of the humiliat
ing truth would incite the outraged
Frenchmen to revolution.
Schwarzkoppen May Tell What He knows.
According to the London National
Review, if France requests, Germany
will permit General Schwarzkoppen,
formerly German military attache iu
Paris to reveal all he knows regarding
the Dreyfus affair. The National Re
view's article indicates that much of
the information published in Loudon
by Mr. Conybeare and others really
emanated from Gen. Schwarzkoppen
and Colonel Pauizzardi, the IV.lian
military attache in Paris.

the diplomatic- atmosphere, does not

erai impression here that the American

Drcsms of Death.
A circumstance in connection with
the funeral of Miss Winnio Davis,
which Ins created much interest and
no little discussion iu .Richmond, was
told by Mrs. Iavis to an intimate
friend. Immediately preceding her
departure for Atlanta last July to at
tend the Confederate reunion, Miss
Winnie Lad a dream of a distressing
'''i-iracter iu which she was tho ceutral
figure, and her surroundings wore
those of the valley of the shadow of
death. Mrs. iJavis also had a dream.
It occurred a few days beforo starting
for Narragansett Pier. Mrs. Davis
says she dreamed she was in some place
unknown to her; there was a great
commotion and stirringof people which
she could not understand. She asked
a hurrying passer-by the cause of the
excitement, ami he replied, "Winnie
1 avis is dead. "
The Revision Denounced.
The Right Party Senators and Depu
ties, at a meeting held in Paris, passed
resolutions denouncing tho revision of
(lie Di.vfus case. A deputation of
twelve members of the Right t arty was
appointed to pieseut the resolutions to
President Faure, but he refused to re
ceive the deputation on the ground that
the procedure was unconstitutional.

Conservative pajers, however, counsel
the people to remain calm. It is doubt
ful if the action of tho cabinet is popu

country people, who, it is pointedout,
"still cling to the plea of the honor of

A r..!d Vgf.t.
Seme weeks ago an incident occurred
within four miles of IE -Ivory that va
Hot repotted to save the feeling of tho
Venn In ly, but since k much has
been reported of i. like character, it is
well to let the truth be know n for tho
Safety of the girls in the'eountry. "Th"
family were working 111 a field near the
public road, w ithin sight 1 tho house
except the eldest daughter, who was
left to clean up tho house and take care
of her grandmother. While the girl
was busy in the kitchen tho old lady
locked the door of her room and slipped
oil' to a neighbor's house. A strange
negro man appeared at the kitchen
door aud ordered the girl to give him
something to eat. She told him there
w ax no food cooked and she had not be
gun to get dinner. Ho told her to
cook something or ho would kill her.
She made biscuit and fried meat and
gave him miik. While sho prepared
tho meal ho sat in the vnid. doubtless
watching the road with the intention
of leaving at the approach of any pass
er. When ho finished eating tho girl
asked him wbeie be Lved. " heie I
please, my home is in the wood"." He
went oil and the girl found for tho fust
time that she had, indeed, been at bis
mercy, as her grandmother was not in
tho house as she supposed.
I tiled the llighwa man.
Arthur Miller, a young man from tho
vicinityof Hickory, was traveling on his
bicycle to Conover. when a negio
sprang from the roadside and huutted
him. Mr. Miller was confronted by a
pi-do! and a demand to band over his
money. Ho cooly answered that he
had but 10 cents with him, but would
give him that. Dismounting bo fum
bled in his 1 oeeket. The negio ex
pectant, lowered the pistol. wh-U Mr.
Miller delivered n mighty blow n the
head of the robber, which felled him to
tho ground. 1 'hereupon Mr. Miller
gave him a justly deserved beating.
The pistol bad fallen from the negro's
baud and Miller threw it iut the
bushes as f ir as ho could, mounted his
wheel and sped uway.
