A Marvellous Pistol Shot.

Almost any evening may be seen
at the pistol gallery of Jas. S.
Conlin, 1920 Broadway, feats of
pistol craftsmanship which would
make any Of the old style off-hand
shooters stand in wonder. The
marksman is Mr.. Frank III. Lord,
the most expert and finished pis.
tol shot in the country. He is a
young man of 32, the youngest
son of the late Thomas Lord. He
is an athlete and a gynmast, and
about 1867 began to try his skill
as a shot at the old Conlin gallery.
In Paris, Mr.. Lord met Paul de
Cassagnac and others of the French
dueling clique and astonished them
by the certainty of his aim. The
Forest and Stream, in an article
enriched with drawings of Mr..
Lords targets, says:
For ten seasons past, he has been
chosen by the English speaking
residents of Paris as their cham
pion; and well chosen represen-
tative he has proven. On one oc-
casion he performed, among other
feats Of accurate craftsmanship,
the following: A cap of an Or
dinary musket was placed upon the
neck of a champagne bottle, and
Mr.. Lord, standing at thirty-six
feet, or twelve PAGES. with an or
dinary dueling pistol, picked off
the cap without scratching the
glass. The same feat was repeat
ed, but with the pistol transferred
from the right to the left hand.
Two more caps were picked of
with right and left hand firing re-
spectively, but in these instances
the pistol was held in reverse
position, with the line of sight he
low instead Of above the line Of
fire. The next shot was fancy
one, Mr.. Lord standing with bis
back to the object fired at, leaning
far forward, and then with pistol
pointed back between his legs,
picked off the cap as before. The
last of the six shots was made sit
ting in a chair, again with back to
target, and leaning back until the
target could be seen Ivy the head
and eyes bent back. 1t is fa-
vorite feat to suspend his watch
a fine imported piece costing $3.50
and put shot after shot through
the loop at thirty-six feet. A
match or wooden toothpick laid
across the opening of the golden
loop is cut cleaDly through, and,
although the watch has been un-
der fire scores and hundreds of
times, it still ticks on toward the
day which may come when a bull
let fraction of an inch out of the
way may scatter the works in q
shower of wheels and pinions.-

ernor2 Has it come to this at last that
self-made man like franklin Landers is
to be denounced, because he knows how
to operate great farms, because the sun and
the winds have bronzed his hands and his
brow? Is man to be set aside be-
cause the aristocratic organs of the
Republican party sheer at self-made
men, who, if they have not studied
law, are to be ostracised as Doors?
What think you of it honest toilers of In
diana? Albert g. Porter is not a self-made
man. He is not made at all. The Sentinel
published, some weeks since, his early his
tory He inherited a fortune. The report
says that he discarded his old father
in the days of his wretched
poverty and loneliness-cast him off and
deserted him Such is tile report of his
neighbors. Such man has not the mate
rial in him for Governor. He needs TO be
made over. He should be born again To
compare such a man with Franklin Ian
ders is an insult to the citizens of the State.
We do not say that Albert g. Porter is
brainless. A parrot. has brains; monkey
has brains. We suppose he has heart, but
it must have been in the process of ossifiea-
ton from his youth, else his neighbors
would have had some kindly words to have
said of him. In this matter-of-fact age ped
igree and pedantry count forlittle. There is a
learning above that of the schools,a manhood
superior to that made by tailors and BARRIERS,
and, forsooth, an aristocraey nobler than
that which is built upon inherited wealth
and warmed into life by the contemplate
Goldfish noblesse of Washington society
and Albert G.. Porter will find it out before
he is sixty days older.

How They Do Lie.
North Vernon SUM-


We have neglected TO notice the many
scandalous falsehoods circulated by the Re
publican press against Hon. Frank Landers
Democratic candidate for Governor for the
reason that, like the "milk Sickness" they
were always located at some other point
could not be run down. We have been re-
lieved. however, by the Chicago Express, a
representative sheet, and the ablest of its
class, Drawer than its fellows and pining for
notoriety as the champion falsfier that
came to us last week with falsehood that
we publish in order that our people may
realize to what desperate measures our Opp0-
nents will resort and comprehend what little
reliance can be placed in their statements.
The Express says:
he (meaning L4anders) recently visited a negro
camp meeting in Jennings County, and he re-
manned there all of one day, and paid conspicuous
sat between them during the services, sang with
them, prayed with them, and afterward with
much p0mp and cOndescensiOn, conducted them
to dinner. one on each arm! Nothing that could
tend to impress upon the negroes there assembled
his perfect equality with themselves was left un-
held their parasols he waited upon them ostenta-
tiously at dinner.
This contains as much truth as thousands
of other stories circulated by the Republican
press, and since our people know how out
rageously false is this story they can under
stand the only motive that prompts this and
kindred falsehoods, and determine if party
whose entire stock in trade is made up of
falSehOOd and deceit can be trusted or is
worthy the support of honest men. .t
