I The Bridgeport: Post foams at the mouth because the GAZETTE used its article or the Po1ter—R1tch case with— out credit The esteemed Post should restrain itself and allow the GAZETTE a chance to kick against the Post’s continual'use of its articles without credit, and hidden behind the skirts of “press dispatch” etc. Again, the Pest should be highly pleased to learn that after all these years it has at last printed something origi 11-1] and worth stealing. A ‘ Virginia Colonel Factory. Virginia does not propose to be be- hini the other Southern States in the great industry of creating colonels, says the Hartford Times. Georgia, Alaba- ma and Tennessee have been crowding “the mother of Presidents” a little in this business, and henceforth Virginia takes the lead as the mother Of colonels also. The House Of Delegates at Rich- mond has just passed a bill to increase the Governor’s staff from seven to eighteen. An account of the proceed- ings on Thursday, says: ' 1111111121- e was a good deal of talk of the gold lace and braid of the colonel, but the sentiment 11 as that so long as the State did not have to bear any of the. expenses made necessary by the staff, ' as mam of these Officers might be ap- pointed as the executive thought de- sirable. Mi. Duke was willing that the number be increased to thii ty -six. He pointed out the effect this array of colonels would have on foreign nations, when the question of a war with this country was being agitated. He de- clared that when they learned that Vilginia had thirty -six coloneIls it would scare them off altogether.’ Thirty- -six colonels! Thirty-six hun- dred he must have meant. Will any- body believe that there are less than three thousand men living in Virginia to-day who are commonly addressed as colonel? And does not calling a man colonel make him one in Virginia? “With the rank of,” says the Virginia Legislature, and forthwith eighteen more gentlemen become known to the world as “colonel.” This is, in fact, the great American idea, which is at the bottom of the colonel business—— that it is not necessary for anybody to really be a colonel, or to be a real judge in order to be called one. And are those not right who so hold? Are we not able to make 45 cents’ worth of silver a dollar, worth one-hundred cents cents of silver’ simply because we choose to name it a dollar? 2 The only real drawback to the situaé‘ tion in Virginia from the colonel’s point of view is that the Governor’s term lasts four years, and if none of his colonels resign, he can only manufac- ture them at the rate of 41} a year—an absurdly low rate. Why, too. we should like to know is Virginia behind Ken— tucky, Alabama and otherestates in ap- pointing ladies as colonels on the staff of the Governor? N O doubt a gallant gentleman, like Governor Tyler, will in the exercise of his new powers prop- erly recognize the gentler sex, but it would have been better to regulate the matter by law. Woe—— FEMININE CHAT. at To select you-r summer gowns now is to get the pick of patterns. 7 The trouble we do not talk about is the one that is always the hardest to bear. It is strange what a nuisance the put- ting on of gloves becomes to the woman who wears a lot of rings. , Slang is defined as the short-cut in language, but We all know the adage about the longest way around, etc. The daily looking for something that does not materialize will wear out the staunchest frame and - the bravest . heart. It is an indication of great self-re- straint when no one at the table mur- murs “kittens” when 1 rabbits are served; Why on earth because awoman owns a chiffon sash does she insist upon wear- ing it With a tailor-made gown ? The rapidity with which stage let- ters are written leads one to suppose all actors and actresses are adepts in shorthand. / - The new woman may consider that ' she is thoroughly living up to her reIp- utation when she drinks whisky and ' panying her whenever she goes to pick ‘ to open and permitting a single drop of l The magazine is full Of conical bullets, ‘urine and let it stand twenty-four cocktails, but man laughs in his sleev e I when he sees her eat candy after the one and ice cream after the other I A word of praise from a man concer n- ing feminine attire means more than whole 1' Olumes from. a member of her own sex, yet the man as a rule doesn' t I know a hundredth part as much about I the suchct as our most I1dowdy sister cousin or aunt. Many a g'i1l who marries a man be- cause she thinks other girls want him wishes they had him before she has been 11' ed a month. 2 Men often term a certain quality in their natures dignity; women,- in de- fining it, get nearer the truth when they call it obstiuacy. One of the funniest contrasts of fash ion noted this winter is the wise look- ing owl perched on the hat Of the friv‘ 010115 and fluffy maiden. ' One may not be desperately ill, but the mere fact of breakfast dishes loiter~ ing at a bedside until nearly noontime has a tendency to counteract the good Of the physician’s prescription. Women age so much more quickly than men that a marriage where the wife is the elder means a certain feel- ing sooner O11 later on the part of the man that he has wedded his grand- mother. A woman dOtes on a man’s devotion, but she could dispense with that form that causes him to insist upon accom- Out a new hat or buy a spool Of cotton. A girl doesn‘t need to be pretty or agreeable to be popular with her own sex. A couple Of good-looking broth- ers will bring about the result with no effort on her part. ————-—<o.o>—+—— A NEW WAR INVENTION. W’mulerful Liquid Air Gun, Smokeless and Noiséless. -A rifle, fired by liquid air, is the latest invention for war. The inven- tor is a Frenchman named Paul Gif- fard, and his new weapon, if all that is claimed for it be true, will revolu-I tionize the whole theory and practice of gunnery, for cannon, as well as for small arms. In the conflicts of the future, gunpowder will be dispensed with. Ai1 liquefied under encimous pies- sure is the explosive used f01 M. Gif- fard’s new rifle. It is loaded into a reservoir "beneath the barrel. The trigger is pulled, causing a little valve liquid air to escape from the reservoir. and one of them always lies in the bar- rel of the rifle until fired and succeed- ed by another. Thevliberated drOp of air instantly expands in a small cham- ber behind the bullet, and the power of its expansion is so tremendous gs to discharge the projectile with "a velocity approximating half a Imile a second. No Combustion having oc- curred, there is no smoke, of course. Stranger yet, there is no sound—no report to give notice that the gun' has been fired. 'In the battles of the fu-, ture men will fall without knowing from what direction they are struck. The magazine holds 150 bullets,»and can be refilled in six seconds. The pro- jectiles can be discharged in a steady stream. Compensation. “Of cohse," said Mr. Erastus Pink- 1ey, who had drifted into a philos- ophic vein, “you ain’t gwinter be jes’ saterfy wif dis life; not onless yoh show sense in you way 0’ lookin’ at it.” .“What’ 5 yoh way?" said Miss Miami Brown. “Yon. wants ter average flngs up.

The Sprinter Got the Lead.

Jan. 12. -—While Spanish Gove1nment has been telling the world that Cuban autonomy has come to stay, and the new civil au- thorities of the island have been spreading broadcast information about the successful inai guration of the au- tonomist scheme, Consul- General Lee. has been telling a different story, in' the State Department. The Consul- General is on record Officially as say— ing that the policy of autonomy will .He has pointed out the utter inability of the Sagasta Ministry to make the (‘11..111 peOple accept in good faith his 11111101 ises Of reform He has given masons for the piediction that the Insular Government will not accomplish its avowed purposes, and looks for a collapse-at an early date. These reports from Gen. Lee cannot be obtained £01 publication because this would be an affront to Spain, and probably 11 ould £01110 to a crisis the al—_ ready strained islations between that country and the United States.

Jan. 12.—A dispatch to the Imparcial from Havana says the send— ing of supplies from the United States to aid the indigent population of Cuba has aroused deep animosity among the Spaniards, who, it is added, are “in- censed at the pretext thus given to the American consuls and the Yankee ele— ,ment to interfere in Cuban affairs.” It is alleged that the funds will be used to widen the breach between the Cu— ban peasantry and the Spaniards, and and it is further stated that the Amer- ican newspaper correspondents have been instructed to exaggerate the suf- ferings of the peasantry in order to again arouse public “feeling in the United States, so as to provide VVash- ington with an excuse to intervene. BATTLE IN A COURT ROOM. Order to Disarln Spectators Starts Shooting Afl‘rayuSeveral Injured. Mount Vernon, Ky., Jan. 12.—At the examining trial of William Hundley for killing John Lawrence, Judge TVil- liams yesterday ordered the court room cleared so that all who desired to re- turn might be examined for weapons and disarmed. Five minutes' afterward rifles in front of the court house in the hands of “Pat” and Elijah Langford were fir- ing at former Jailer William Mullins. and his friends. Several revolvers re- plied from various quarters. 1 Those injured by the Langfords were C.I L. King. who received two bullets through the thigh, considered danger- ous. and W'illiam Mullins, shot through both hands The Langfords claim it was an accident in shooting King. All the participants were jailed, includ- ing former Deputy Sheriff Reuben Mullins, who fired at the Langfords until they disappeared. In the court room when the shoot- ing occurred, Hundley, thinking his father had been killed, seized the gun: of a guard and attempted to-‘rush to ~ the fray. him. ' The trouble originated during the last campaign when a number of lead- ing Republicans bolted the ticket as nominated, among them being Sheriff ' Mullins, Mr. King and many others. At Crooked Creek precinct at the late election‘ Sheriff Mullins attempted to arrest some parties. A fight started, It required six men to hold killed, and two othe1s wounded, in- cluding Joseph Lawrence, who was Hundley. QUARTZ LEDGE FOUND. . Frank Slavin, the Puglllst, Makes a Rich Strike in Klondike. Seattle. Wash, Jan. 12.—W. J Jones, of Port Townsend, 'Washx, who has just arrived from Alaska, on the steamer City of’ Topeka, brings news of the discovery of what is supposed to be the mother lode and quartz origin of " the placers of the Klondike. The discovery was made within four hours of the four different points, one of them at the Dome, a. high mountain at the source of the Eldorado Creek; by Frank Slavln, the pugilist; the sec- ond at No. 31 Eldorado, by A. H. Jose and partner; the third in Nugget Gulch, at NO. 36. and the fourth some- where in the twenties Ion Bonanza Creek. The vein is found at about thirty feet below the surface and un- der the muck and alluvial deposit. The ledge is about eighteen inches Wide, and makes a uniform Width. It is generously sprinkled with free gold. Mr. Jones brings down Samples of the ore', and every one who has seen them says the rock is the same in character as that found in Southeast: ern Alaska. DEATH GAME IN A FIGHT. Young Man Worden“! or Died-Jib As- sailant Is Missing. Newark, N. J., Jan. 12.—John Maltby. twenty-five years Old, who lived with his father-in-law, Owen ‘McDevitt, at No. 70 Sussex street, was murdered or else died after a fight with Owen Mor- ris last night. Morris has disappeared. When Maltby reached his home: he found Morris and hr: if a dozen others there. .He Objected to their presence, called Morris a “bum” and ordered him out. Mom 1s resented it. He went to the street, followed by Maltby. No one knows who struck the first blow. Morris landed a swinging right-hander in the ribs of Maltby, which felled him. 2 Accounts differ as to what happened after that. One is that Maltby regain- ed his feet and rushed at Morris; that while in the act of doing so he stag; gered and fell. Another version is that when Maltby fell he. did not r1se,,and Morris jumped on his chest. When friends picked up Maltby he was. dead. A superficial examination of the body failed‘to show any marks.

Chicago, Jan. 12. —Judge Gorgin of the Circuit Court has ruled against the competence of testimony by a. husband regarding representations madeby the husband in order to gain business credit in a case where the husband was the wife's duly accredited agent.
