The New washington.

One day last week Jimson, the broker an
nounced that he was going fishing the next day,
and, amid the many dersiye smiles of his col
leagues, took down the names OF a number to
whom lie meant to distribute strings of lake trout
on his return.
The second day Jimson reappeared and "tho
boys " crowded around him with the usual cross
fire of chaf.
"Those were fearful big fellows you sent me- y
said one with wink ut the rest.
"Lemmes see. You caught exactly 20G, l believer"
said another.
No gentlemen" replied the victim, firmly, al
didn't catch single fish"
This unprecedented reply fell upon the crowd
like thunder clap
"w-wh-a-t?" they gasped. Not one?"
"Not one repeated Jimson.
q" Didn't-didn't yon even lose fourteen hooks
on twenty-five pounderY finally asked one
"No, gentlemen" responded the champion
truth teller; " ! sat all day in the hot sun aud
didn't even catch bite ! caught nothing-not
even the rheumatism"
1t was too much. The extraordinary occurrence
had unsettled the whole board. Even the chair
man wept like a child, while the united sobs of
the members could be heard three hundred miles
at sea.
This morning the managing committee agreed
10 close the board hereafter on Jimson s birthday
aud have an oil painting of him the same size as

Testing the Rifles for n Selection nj Creed
moOr-The Coming Contest.

Colonel J. o. +. Burnside president Of the Co.
lumba Rifle Association, who was some time since
appointed by the National Rifle Association OF
New York to be one Of the committee to select the
rifle with which the American team is to shoot
tho international military match against the
British team Of twelve at Creedmoor, September
10 and 16 next. was yesterday summoned by tel.
egram from the chairman of the said committee,
Colonel II. G. 1itchfeld, U. s. A., of General Han
cocks staff, to visit New York to attend meeting
oi tue committee in that city this afternoon.
Colonel Burnside left last evening for that pur-
pose. II is understood that in competition with
the most excellent (at the short ranges) regulation
Springfield Armory military rifle there will be be:
lore the committee the Remington, sharpe, and
Winchester military rifles, all recently specially
made for this great international contest, the
committee to select the make Of rife that proves
best at the long ranges. II having been claimed
by experts that the United States regulation rifle
IS TOO LIGHT IN BARREL
for the long 500grain bullet and the powder requi
site to carry II the distances in the second stage of
special military rifles have been produced to meet
the emergency. II is probable that to- morrow the
test Will be made at Creedmoor. The match,
as finally agreed upon is TO be shot in two stages,
the first Ton September l5) to be 200 500, and 600
yards, seven shots each distance, stand up aud
toward the target at 500 and COO, which is termed
the prone" position. The second stage Sep
tember ICY to be 800, 300 and 1000 yards, seven
chosen without artificial rest, which permits the
backward PROSTATE position with rest over the
feet or legs, as done in long range matches with
the fine rifles. The British have for number of
years been shooting at Wimbledon these long
range matches with tie military as well us with
the fine rifles while with tn Americans the COM
lug match Will be a new departure.
THE HOPE OF THE AMERICANS
il to.lead much at 200 yards off hand, that the
British cannot overtake them at the extreme dis
tance. The British at the outset in arranging this
match insisted upon beginning with the "prOne -
position at 200 yards, the National Rifle Associa-
iUn of America obiectlng, and finally yielding
the choice OF sight adopting the plain barr to the
British fthey wouldstand and shoot at 200 yards.

the idea of changing the carbon points in the
electric lamps in the streets, performance for
which he has special fitness, or OF being lineman
for a telephone company.
His brother Frank said of him yesterday /:
" Shane is tall enough, if that's any advantage
for policeman, and he's had some experience
in that kind of work. He was deputy sheriff in
Hunt County, Texas, for while, and did some
good work in the line of police duty; and he'd be
ornamental, too. Nothing in town would d II so
much TO bring the police force into notice ms TO
put uniform on shane" He has not yet been

tinues His Argument

In the criminal court yesterday Mr.. Ker re-
sumed his opening argument. He proceeded to
review at great length each particular route in
the indictment, the figures that it had originally
been let for, the expeditions, and the profits that
as he claimed. had been made out OF the routes
by the contractors by their unwarranted increase
of pay. His review Of the testimony was an ex
haustive one. In the course of his argument, re-
ierring to the fact that Rerdell had not been put
on the stand to testify in his own behalf Mr.. Nc
Sweeny objected to the Language used and called
failure of defendant to testify should not raise
presumption against him. Mr.. Merrick said he
for the defense objected, Mr.. Wilson holding II
was gross violation of the law to mention the
thing. Judge Wyie said the jury knew the statute.
The court would admonish counsel not to
draw inferences, and would advise the jury that
failure to appear was no presumption of guilt.
Mr.. Ker spoke all day, and had not concluded
when the court adjourned.
