The chief distinction between the
Mauser ami the Loc Euilcld Is thla
that while ibi Ioo Eniiuld has n maga
zine which Is Inserted underneath the
body through I he trigger guard and se
cured bj a and Is provided with
what Is called a cut oil to prevent
the cartridges from rising so that It
can bo used as a simple breechloader
for single llrlng until the magazine
which contains ten cartridges Is order
ed to be used the Mauser has n maga
zine which though not absolutely llx
ed Is only intended to bo taken oft for
cleaning It does not need n cut off
to use as a single loader
The magazine contains Ave car
tridges but whereas tho cartridges
for the Lee Enlleld have when the
magazine Is charged to be each put Iu
separately the magazine of the Mau
ser Is tilled at once by placing against
the face of the magazine a set of flvo
cartridges held in a clip which falls oft
when the cartridges have been Inserted
In the magazine
Thus If each weapon wero nt the be
ginning of a light empty the Mauser
would permit of more rapid lire be
cause It could be loaded live cartridges
at a time while the Lee Enfield would
take cartridge by cartridge na long to
load as a single breechloader On the
other hand the times when a very
rapid discharge of tire Is desirable are
not numerous anil for these the Lee
Enlleld has ten cartridges ready

So much has boon said nnd written
about tho nblllty of tho city of Buffalo
to euro for tho crowds which will at
tend the Pan American Exposition this
summer that a few facts and figures
will be appreciated by tho general pub
lic
In the first place there are listed
more than 200 hotels which will give
accommodation to 30000 people thero
are 050 boarding nnd rooming houses
affording accommodation for 18f00
while 7000 owners of houses most of
whom never before hung out their
latchstrlng for a consideration havo
signified their Intention of opening
their houses for the accommodation of
visitors to Buffalo this summer These
7000 homes will accommodate at least
100000 visitors
The Exposition Company has arrang
ed to furnish tent accommodation on
the Exposition grounds for 250 uni
formed men There are also two com
panies arranging tent systems which
will afford additional accommodation
outside of the grounds for 1500 or so
Iu addition to all this there are a
large number of buildings throughout
the city now being remodeled nnd con
verted into hotels the plans of which
arc not far enough nlong td afford an
accurate description or to estimate ac
commodation at the present time It Is
safe to estimate tho present capacity
of the city of Buffalo to accommodato
150000 strangers To this may be add
ed accommodations for at least 50000
In the surrounding towns such as Tou
awauda La Salle Niagara Falls Lock
port Wllllamsvtlle Gardenvllle De
pew and Lancaster all within a short
trolley ride of the city
Rates In hotels range from 1 per
day upward As ridiculous stories havo
been circulated In regard to exorbitant
hotel rates It Is well to note the rates
that have been established at the Iro
quois the most expensive hotel In tho
city These nre for one In a room
without bath 3 and upward for two
In a room without bath 5 and upward
thus making tho minimum rate 250
per Individual The rate for a room
with bath for ono person Is 3 or for
two In a room 750 This Is on the Eu
ropean plan Of course there are rooms
and suites of rooms In this hotel for
much higher rates for thoso who wish
to pay them but tho prices hero given
are the highest in tho city for hotel

MILITARY CAMPS
Accommodations For the Soldier
Uoym at the Ian Amerlcnn Exposi
tion
Many military organizations Intend
to visit the Pan American Exposition
during the summer Arrangements
have been made to provide first class
accommodations for them
The Exposition will maintain a per
manent camp within the grounds for
the accommodation of about 200 men
at one time
This camp will be supplied with
tents floored cots buckets basins pint
cups light water and sinks for the
use of which no charge will be made
It will be necessary for visiting organ
izations to furnish their own blankets
and subsistence
There will be no accommodation for
cooking in this camp but the visitors
will no doubt be able to make satisfac
tory arrangements with restaurants on
the grounds at reasonable rates
It Is expected that organizations tak
ing advantage of these camp privileges
will at such time as may be agreed
upon beforehand give military exhibi
tions without charge in the Stadium
Bands In uniform will be admitted to
the grounds free Organizations using
this camp will pay oue general admis
sion per man when they enter the
grounds and must be governed by the
rules and regulations laid down by the
Exposition Company
On account of the large number of
organizations now applying for camp
facilities at the Exposition the use of
this camp will be limited to a period
not exceeding six days for any one or
ganization
Large bodies of troops visiting the
Exposition must be quartered outside
the grounds where a large camp for
this purpose has been established
Major Charles J Wolf is in charge of
the Military Bureau aud be Is kept
very busy these days furnishing Infor
mation to organizations Intending to
visit the Exposition
The little bee Is very busy at the
Pau Amerlcan Exposition gathering
aud storing honey In glass hives In full
view of visitors
A searchlight on the Electric Tower
of the Pan American Exposition costs
rays for a distance of 50 miles
accommodations as the term Is ordina
rily understood
A number of local reliable agencies
are engaged In locating visitors In
homes In the city These can be relied
upon as being honest straightforward
and efficient They are composed of
business men of Integrity who will
carefully protect strangers In the city
and visitors may feel assured of cour
teous treatment and safe conduct to ac
commodations which have received
careful Inspection

RUSSIAN POLICEMEN
Governors Test For Their
Alertness Was a Failure
A good story Is being told in St Pe
tersburg of the Russian police which
the papers pronounce to be exceeding
ly characteristic A new governor was
sent to a certain town in the interior
and the Inhabitants at once began to
complain that the police were badly
organized since however much they
were wanted they would never come
when they wero sent for The govern
or determined to test this for himself
bo one night he set out for the bur
racks where the police and the fire
brigade were quartered He accosted
the sentry
Do you know me
Yes your excellency
If a man was being murdered close
by would you quit your post
Never your excellency
Good said the governor
know your duty Well what
Yon
would
you do
I would blow my whistle to rouse
the guard
Good Let us suppose some one Is
being murdered here Whistle
The soldier blew but not a soul an
swered Ho blew again and again
but the same silence prevailed
That will do said tho governor at
last You have whistled your utmost
and nobody has come but at any rate
your conscience Is tranquil Now you
can go to sleep The man could havo
been murdered two or three times over
It Is unnecessary to overdo It by trying
to wake your comrades who appear to
Eleep like the dead The czar should
be proud of such steady soldiers
JVIth tbat hecovernor went off

would be likely to accuse his police of
having a share In the midnight mur
