EXTRAORDINARY SHOOTING.
DIR. Carver's Great Rifle Feat-Breakipg
$500 Glass Balls in 500 Minutes
fFrom the New York Herald

DIR. Carver's Great Rifle Feat-Breakipg
$500 Glass Balls in 500 Minutes.
(From the New York Herald
At II o'clock this morning DR.. Carver.
the famous rifle shot, began the phe,
nomenal performance of breaking 5. 500
glass balls in 500 minutes with Winches-
ter rifles. The shooter used six rifles.
He was dressed as lightly as possible,
and looked in splendid condition.
Twenty barrels of glass balls confronted
him as he stepped forward to the place
arranged. Before beginning to shoot
he said be was not overconfdent as to
the result, and only knew he would not
attempt the feat again for 500, 900, and
was sorry he had agreed to perform it.
He would give any man $500 who would
shoot the same number of balls from a
post.
The first thousand balls were broken
in one hour and seven minutes, the
misses averaging about one in thirty
shots, and the doctor being twenty-five
minutes ahead of time. By this time
his eyes began to smart and trouble him
seriously, the dust and Crime mingling
with the perspiration on his face, and
working into his eyes in spite of all pre-.
cautions.
When through with his feat, never
before attempted, as it probably neve,
will be again, tie doctor said he had
shot half blind almost from the start
and nothing could induce him to try
it over.
The cartridges were loaded with forty
grains of powder and 200 grains of lead,
and the recoil of each shot was tremen-
dous, but the doctor never finched.
though after the first 1000 shots the
pain in his shoulder must have been
great. His only and great trouble was
with his eyes. The water, in spite oil
careful cleaning, chung to the guns, and
with each discharge was spurted direct
ly into DR.. Carver's face and eyes.
Shortly after 3 o'clock, when at the
end of his thirty first hundred, and
eleven minutes ahead of his time, he
retired to the hotel for half an hour,
changed his clothes, took some beef tea,
and pathed his eyes. On his return,
eleven minutes behind time, he began
shooting with great rapidity.
Although during the day the crowd OF
spectators was at no time great, between
5000 and 1900 persons watched the
shooting at different periods. The sue.
cessful shots reached 1900, 5000, and
the excited crowd pressed closely about
the shooter. The man, who was per-
feet speciman of manhood inssthe morn
ing, had become entirely blind. He
calls out, '' For Gods sake, boys, how
much more have [ got to do ?" "Just
100 more, and eighteen minutes to do
them in,'' seems to revive him. Sud
denly cheer announced the task COM
pleted. Then the gun falls from
his grasp, and he is carried away in a
carriage, his task done and ten minutes
to spare. He was taken to the hotel and
put to bed, where he suffered much with
his eyes.
He says he did not see hundreds OF
the balls at which he fired. He fired in
all 6,20S shots.

weapon goes on knocking off our nails,
and MASKING whole joints, and slipping
off the handle to the confusion of mantel
ornaments, and breaking the command
ments. Yet we put up with it, and put
the handle on again, and lay it away
where it won't get lost, and do up our
smarting and mutilated fingers; and,
after all, if the outrageous thing should
disappear, we kick up terrible hula
balloo until it is found again. Talk
about the tyrannizing influence of bad
habit. It is not to be compared with the
family hammer.

IT was not expected that the Paris Ex-

success, yet the Government Commits
sioners already feel that they are out of
financial difficulty. The cost of build

about 100000, and a revenue of
nearly $7,000,000 is already assured.
The attendance has exceeded expecta-

Dinghat.

Anderson, in his slangy letter to Mrs,
jerks. told her that she could " whistle,
for her dingbats,' and correspondent
asks us to define dingbats." The
word is not in the dictionary. At the
Methodist school at Wilbraham, Mass,
the name "dingbat has always been
applied to large raised biscuit that is
brought to the table hot and eaten with
butter or molasses in the morning. It
is palatable to the hungry, but is about
as indigestible as brickbat. Why the
lovely jerks should whistle for them
must remain Graphic.

BUFFALO HORN, the Bannock leader,
is described as small, gracefnlly-built
Indian, with beautiful eyes, not unlike a
cross between an eagles and an ante
lope's. One side of his long hair is
bound round with threads of a brown
bark, which, resembling buffalo horn,
is probably the occasion of his name.
He is very daring rider, a good shot,
brave, intelligent and proud as Lucifer,
but seems to enjoy the society of the
whites

Mr.. John Hawley, of this village,
has had troublesome cancer on his
right eye which had been growing for
the past five years and which seemed
to threaten the loss of the eye
and probably more serious consequence
es would have resulted had not its
progress been arrested. DR.. E. w.
Brown, veterinary surgeon, of this
village, was consulted about six weeks
ago, who at once commenced course
of treatment under which the cancer
has entirely disappeared and the eye
is now as well as ever.
