UMK OF WALHALLA. WALHALLA. Tookot Chook Hooks Winners! oks are ? THE NOISELESS RIFLE. '"? ? )?'?'?? Shoots Without Enough Noise lo be Heard in Adjoining Room,' (New York, Sun.) The first public demonstration of a noiseless firearm ever given was made before the Board of Managers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals yesterday after noon by Hiram Pery Maxim, the in ventor of the weapon. Mr. Maxim levelled an ordinary .32 caliber Win chester rifle, remodeled according to his invented device, and loaded with ordinary ammunition, at two city di rectories, placed one in front of the other, clicked the trigger and drove a flat-nosed bullet six inches through the solid paper without noise enough to he beard in the next room. Mr. Maxim explained last night that the demonstration he gaye the board of managers of the S. P.-C. A. was pursuant to the urgent request that had been made by the society that he furnish the organization with a more humane weapon for use th abattoirs and big meat packing es tablishments. Pending the tests that are to be made of his army rifle by the Ordinance Department of the United states army Mr. Maxim said that he had designed a noiseless rifle to be used in the butchering of ani mals. A gun which can , drive a bullet Into the brain of g steer with abso lutely fatal results and without noise enough to frighten all the other ani mals lined up behind in the killing driveway will be much more effica cious, according to the statements the S. P. C! A. officers made to Mr. Maxim yesterday after his test, than tbe present haphazard and some times uruoi method of slaugherlng beef with a hammer. All of those who witnessed the test made in the society's rooms were unanimous in the belief that the weapon which may become the deadliest in war fare may also serve a humane pur pose in a less glorious function. The army rifle which the inventor has now perfected and which he ls testing in his workshops at Hartford, Conn., preliminary to the demonstra tion which ls to be held before army officers some time in the next t wo or three months, is a very different wea pon from that designed to slaughter beeves. Mr. Maxim gave last.night a general description of the g til's con-' struction and its capabilities as a killer. He said: "Because I have not yet secured my patents in Europe I cannot enter upon a detailed description of the main features of my noiseless fire arm or publish any pictures or charts ot lt, for that could be construed br any European government as a fat delivery of the secret of my inven . tion. I can say this much: That my new gun will differ from the present army rifle only in the barrel. The same ammunition in clips of six shots can be used as in the present wea pon, and there need b? no change either in the amount or the quality of the explosive behind the projec tile. "The ordinance bureau of the army has stipulated that I cannot make the army rifle any longer than the present one and it has conceded that I may be allowed to sacrifice 10 per cent of the present velocity if I can turn out a noiseless weapon. I have rigorously adhered to the rules they lay down as to the position of the bayonet, straps, etc., and I have sac rificed ho *more than 10 per cent of the present velocity. I will have a noiseiess"p;u:i up to every standard set at the ?proving grounds at Sandy Hook or Springfield when the army officers are ready for the tests." Mr. Maxim said that Germany was greatly interested tn the noiseless firearm and that he had been- ap proached unofficially by the German government in the matter of an army contract there. :'!.;..-".:-:-v::::::\-: ?.?io.

On March 18, 1907, I had a similar attack, and took Chamber lain s Collo, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave me prompt re lief.

One of Hts Friends. ' (? State, 12th:) H. Rudolph Habens, th? notorious Charleston "fence" for the gangs of sateblownrs who operated In South Carolina from 1901 to 1905, donned the regulation stripes at the State penitentiary yesterday afternoon and began the service of a three-year sentence imposed upon him more than a year ago by Judge Ernest Oary on an indictment charging him with receiving stolen goods, a part of the $6,838.81 taken from the vsTcched safe of the Courtenay Manu facturing Company at Newry, Oconee county, on the night of December 14, 1908.. Rabone was brought to Columbia from Walhalla by L?. M. Pressl?y, of the penitentiary guard, reaching here on the, 3.40 train yesterday after noon. He was driven to the pen im mediately upon the arrival of the train, where he was photographed, and a thorough description made of him for the future use of the State and United States authorities. . After having his hair clipped, given a. shave and bath and a brand new suit- of stripes, he was registered as "No. 17753" and consigned to a cell. For the first tltne, possibly, since his connection with the noted Mc Kinley-Nolan gangs of safeblowers, "Rudy" yesterday-realized that he was not beyond fhe power of the law. He appeared broken In spirit on entering the big steel gates of the prison, and hts gray eyes sought the floor except infrequently when they would shoot a quick, nervous glance at some one of the officials standing around. His long legal fight had been made in vain and he turned to face tho three long years of Impris onment with a shrug of the shoulders and an unmistakable feeling of utter hopelessness. He had come, at last, to face what he dreamed that his ill gotten gain would alone prevent. His panama was laid away and the regu lation cap took Its place; his all leather suit case was sent down to the commissary to await his depar ture three years hence; his bank book was pigeon-holed, and the gen erous amount of loose coin and cur rency which he had in his pockets was placed to his credit in the office, and the wonted blind tiger, near yegg and erstwhile King Street crook, No. 17753, is to-day nothing more, nothing less, than a convict, entering upon a sentence which will doubtless prove a lesson to those of wealth and Influence who imagine that they may violate the laws of the land with Impunity. There has been BUCC a swift suc cession of unexpected plays In the Habens case within the past week that this man has been all but over whelmed with surprise. The plans of himself and his astute counsel came to naught in the game that opened at Walhalla Monday when he surrendered himself and announced that he waa ready to begin sentence. Contrary to the expectations of So licitor Boggs, Inspector Gregory and others Interested In the case, Rabens was sent to the Oconee county poor farm, where there are absolutely no facilities, for safeguarding a prisoner of Rabens' type. The people of Oconee -Tounty did not want Rabens to work out his sentence there; they wanted him sent to fhe State penitentiary. Ra bens turned oyer to Supervisor Mc Alister $5,000 in cash, to be kept in the county treasury as a guarantee of his orderly conduct and safety. It was announced that Rabens had been examined by a physician and declated to be unable to do any manual labor. In short, it appeared that his punish ment was to bo nothing but a fAree; that he was to live in ease at the county's expense. The Newry Crime. The blowing open of a safe in the vault of the Courtenay Manufactur ing Company at Newry on the'night of December 14, 1903, was accom plished by James Johnson, alias "Portland Ned;" John Fisher, alias "Connecticut Shorty," and John F. McCarthy. They secured about $7. 000, ot which $2,000 was in silver coln, which they "planted," together with their equipment, near. Courte nay Statiou, on the main line of the Southern Railway. McCarthy carried the explosion burnt currency to H. Rudolph Ra bens, at Charleston, and he soon ran through with his third of the $5,000 in currency in Rabens' Star Theatre, wine room and dance hall. Then Rabens accompanied McCarthy > to Oconee county to "raise" the $2,000 in silver, but fte they could not lo cate the spot, they went to Baltimore, Md., for Fisher, - who was the one that did the ?"planting " Not Anding Fisher, they telegraphed to the dive keeper' at Norfolk, Va., and Fisher was sent to Baltimore, Md. Afte^ forming their plans they returned to Oconee county, whwre Fisher and Mc Carthy raised the silver and placed lt in a buggy that Rabens had driven out from Walhalla. It was taken to the home of Rabens' father at Wal halla, packed in Rabens' trunk and suit case and taken the next day to Charleston, where Rab?ns had It ex changed for gold and currency. Johnson and Fisher, after arrang ing for the Courtenay robbery, wired to Chris Rabens nt Charleston to send "Johnny" (McCarthy) to Green wood, from which point they went to Newry. Chlrs carried the telegram to Rudolph, who delivered lt to Mc Carthy. Johnson Is now serving seven years In the United States peniten tiary in Atlanta and Fisher ia serv ing fifteen years ld the State peniten tiary at Columbia. McCarthy has been pardoned by President Roose velt and the Governor of Vermont. Tho Remedy that Does. "Dr. King's New Discovery ls the remedy that does the healing others promise but fail to perform," says Mrs. E. R. Pierson, of Auburn Cen tre, Pa. "It ls curing me of throat and lung trouble of long'st?ndig, that other treatments relieved only temporarily.
