 NEw YORK, June 13.-This was the last days official practice of the American rifle team at Creedmoor previous to it's departure for Wimbledon next Tuesday. Altogether the team has had six days practice in body. and the result exceeds all expectation. Mr. T. w.

Frederick Alder, of the Seventh regiment was ap- pointed in his place The shooting to day was over the 500, 300 and 1000 yard ranges and the scores ranged from 62 to 91 out of possible 100. Adding to-day's scores to those made on Monday at the shorter ranges, the result out of possible 210 points is as follows: Dolan 1S4, Rabbeth 184, s. J. Scott 1S2, W. Scott 183, VanHeusen 1s0, Pollard 179; Cash IFS, Hinman 18O, Paula Ing IFS, Smith 174, Joiner 176. Bull IFS, Brown 157.

METROPOLITAN REsTA uRANTs.

"The restaurants OF New York constitute
one of the most interesting features of the
Metropolis" writes n correspondent of the
Chicago Neaos. "Iheir number is legion,
and their variety of fare, service, and price
endless. Their patronage is very large, and
steadily increases. Every year larger pro.
portion of the population take their meals
regularly at restaurants Where twenty-five
years ago the young man without family ties
would have thought only of boarding
house, today, as likely as not, he rents a
room and depends upon eating houses for
his meals. He is thus freed from the rigor-
GUS hours of the boarding house, and ID able
to get his breakfast aud dinner as early OF
as late as he chooses. If you go often to
any restaurant you will soon see that con-
siderable proportion of the patrons evidently
get part or all of their meals at it regular
ly. Many places make special rates for such
boarders Besides this class of people there
are many who get their MONDAY meal,
whether it be lunch or dinner, at restaur
ant near their place of business, aud take
the other two at their homes. q Then there
is the large floating element, composed Of
strangers passing through the City, or towns
folks who drop in for meal, altogether
making good-sized army Of people to be
served every day."

his Stock In Trade.
At the curbstone near the old board fence
that surrounds the new reception pavilion of
Bellevue Hospital stands a rickety, weather.
beaten fruit stand. Back Of the rows of APP
Piles, oranges, and bananas displayed on it
are piled many bottles of different sizes.
In front of the stand was old Grandfather
Patrick Lundy. He was bundled up in a
great coat and clothes that had seen many
years of wear. An old hat was perched on
his rough head, and a pleasant smile lighted
up his unshaven face
Poor persons hurrying to the hospital dis
pensary for medicine to heal countless ills
stopped at the old mans stand, and, instead
Of buying fruit, purchased bottles for five
cents each. He was jingling coins in his
pocket when the reporter questioned him.
"a curious business" he said echoing
the reporters question. &C. Yea, but good
one in its way. You see people that go to
the dispensary and don't have any bottle for
medicine can get one from me without wait
ing in the line in the dispensary. l can
| give them any size or any kind they like,
and all for the same price-a single nickel"
During pause Mr.. Lundy selected a
four-ounce bottle for customer and fitted
to it cork from box full of shoppers.
Then he rubbed his scrubby beard and wiped
his mouth refectively.
You see, sir" he resumed, 81 was not
always in this business. I made hundreds
of thousands of dollars in this country in my
younger days, but they're all gone, and I'm
brought down to peddling apples, and those
bottles. Heigh no! it's big drop I've took
in life. But have the satisfaction of
KNOWN that my sons are well-to-do."
Attaches of the hospital know Grand
father Patrick, as he is called, very well.
His stand has been at the same corner for
eight years. One of his two sons is in the
Post Office, and the other has good employ
ment also. The father lives comfortably on
the nickels he gathers in, and is laxative of
the days when he was rich, as he says. No
body can be found who knew him in those
days of golden prosperity, however, and il
is thought that tho stories of fortune are
pleasant myths. But Mr.. Lundy insists
that they are true, and is decidedly proud Of
the familiar nickname of The Old Bottle
Merchant of Bellevue"

IA MONEY CLEARS A MYSTERY.
A Romantic Story in Which Persons If Two
Generations Figure.


A year or two previous to the Mexican
war Benjamin F. Brown, son of John
Brown, of North Stonington, talented
young fellow Of twenty-one, ran away from
his home and his parents never received any
tidings from him. At the close of hostilties
In Mexico he appeared in Corpus Christi,
where he married beautiful Spanish wo-
man, Innocence Costello, in 1858. They
lived happily and four children, Frank, Juan,
Benjamin aud Isabella, were born. In his
home he always spoke Spanish and that
language was the only tongue his wife or
children know. Soon after the war and be-
fore his marriage Brown had changed his
name to Benjamin F. Wrowan. His reason
for doing so is of course only conjecture.
In 1866 Wrowan was murdered near the
Rio Grande river. The particulars of the
crime are not known.
At about the time of the murder John
Brown, of North Stonington. died, leaving
nis valuable farm to be divided among six
heirs among whom the missing Benjamin
was one. The share belonging to the miss
ing Benjamin was deposited in a savings
bank in New London in the name of Jere-
miah Halsey, trustee, to be paid over by
him on further order OF the court upon
application by the parties entitled thereto.
II was not until 1881 that the family Of
Wrowan gained their first clue to his history
previous to his marriage. They had retained
his private papers, but as none of the family
could speak English they we're of course
ignorant OF the facts contained therein. In
1881 Frank, the oldest boy, determined to
learn English, and he applied himself so
vigorously that he was soon able to master
the facts in his fathers papers These facts
led him to write to Mr. Wheeler, Postmaste,
of North Stonington. He received evidence
from Mr.. Wheeler convincing him that his
father was the missing Benjamin +. Brown.
The whole matter in its legal phase was
then plnced il the hands Of Brown & Per-
kins, of New London, who have since been
gathering evidence. The best evidence Is,
of course, contained in the letter from Ston-
ington, Ill, aud in the aifadavits Of tho
children in Laredo. Texas. At the Superior
Court Chief Justice Park presiding, on
Saturday hearing was had and petition
in equity was granted in the case, which is
on the docket as Wrowan ". j. Halsey.

SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.

A speaker at an Exposition in Baltimore,
on Tuesday evening, recited some interest
ing facts. He said Atlanta, prior to the
cotton exhibition, was known only in gen.
eral way. To-day it is one of the most ac-
tive, pushing, manufacturing cities in the
South. There were two machines at the
exhibition, one cottonseed cleaner and the
other cottonseed planter, that attracted SO
much attention that companies were formed
for the manufacture of them in Atlanta, one
with a capital of $150,O00 and tho other
with capital of $4,000. The demand for
these machines is so great that the COM
ranies will have to increase their facilities
for manufacturing. At the close of the ex-
hibition company was formed with cap
ital of $250,0O0 who bought the exhibition
building and turned it into cotton factory.
In six months after the exhibition closed
so 100000 had been invested in manufac-
turing enterprises in that city of only 49,
900 inhabitants. OF the exhibits of Atlanta,
only few carloads were returned to the
North, the balance having been sold. The
sales made by exhibitors at the exhibition
Turing the continuance amounted to s., OOO.-
900. The demand for machinery at the
South at the present time aud for years to
come is simply enormous. Within the past
two years the South has paid for cotton
machinery alone about $1,000, 600, while
immense sums have been paid for mining,
agricultural and other machinery. The
South now has $50, 900, 900 invested in cot
ton manufacturing, aud yet she manufac-
lures only 8 per cent. of the cotton she pro-
duees. At the rate she has been going on
for the past two years, what will be her de-
mauds for machinery of all kinds for the
next few years to come? How much of
this enormous demand for machinery does
Baltimore supply Why, comparatively
none steam engines, saw mills, agricultural,
mining aud cotton machinery pass through
our city every day. Cotton, tobacco, rice,
timber and naval stores, aud other products
fof Southern soil are shipped to New York
and other Northern cities in large quantities
to pay for the purchases made thore of ma

A RACE FOR LIFE.

A party from this place, two weeks since,
went out to Willow Greek. upon Deer Lodge
Valley, Montana. for pleasure trip and II
came near ending fatally for at least four
ladies' in the party. Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Du-
chan, Mrs. Staten aud her mother were out
berrying on the creek last week when a
monster grizzly bear rushed out of the
willows and made toward them. The near
est house was at least half mile distant and
they staresd at once for Pureel's ranch.
Then came race for lifa aud there IN evil
dence that although frightened near to death
the ladies made pretty good time. Baskets,
bonnets, hats, shoes and everything possible
was thrown away that their flight might not
be irnpeded, while the savage growls of the
horrible monster told only too plainly thai
he had deadly meaning His mouth was
wide open aud he bounded forward with all
possible conf ience in his ability to get
delicate morsel, but such was not to be, Of
least at that time, for the entire party
reached the house i'll safety, but fearfully
exhausted. The bear was not over fifty
yards behind when the party got into the
house, and reared up on its hind legs and
uttered savage yells at being robbed Of his
prey Truly narrow escape for the ladies,
and as bears arc quite plentiful in the valley
it behooves those visiting isolated places to
be very careful or there will be . more SER
ious ending Of some pleasure excursion--

BUFFALO nILL,s PROPERTY.
How the Scout Manages lis Farm nnt
Cattle.

On the north side of the railroad, at North
Platte, Neb,, almost directly opposite the
house, is "litte" pasture comprising
1900 acres, all fenced in. Mr.. Cody, in Sc
Letting his home, picked out stretch of
land in the heart of the buffalo grass coun-
try. This grass, which grows hardly two
inches above the ground is curly and feels
like mating of down under foot. In this
region horses aud cattle literally live On this
succulent grass, which is hardly ever cover
cd with snow, SO mild, as a rule are the win
tiers. The country for miles around is cut
up into cattle ranges, and spectators are
now turning their eyes to the raising of fast
horses. Mr. Cody has probably tried the
endurance of the horse as much as any man
living, and, having recently disposed of his
cattle ranch on the Dismal River, sixty-fve
miles north of North Platte, for the neat
sum of 1926, 900, has determined to invest
his surplus capital in the development OF
the useful animal; and has associated with
him in the enterprise his old friend and
partner, Major Frank North, a well known
fighter and soldier. 1t is the intention to
raise thoroughbred horses on a large scale.
He has 11S brood mares that will compare
favorably in build and style with the best
Eastern stock, and also a large number Of
promising youngsters. He also has large
herd of short-horn COWS and heifers, with a
high-pedigreed bull at their head. Aside
from all this, Mr.. Cody owns several thou
sand acres of land in the vicisnity, and is
also one of the heaviest real estate owners
in North Platte. He owns and rents seven
neat dwelling houses and will shortly build
several more. He is the father of the town,
SO to speak, and is at the head of every I'M,
2ortant business enterprise and is the most
popular man to-day in the glorious State of
Nebraska Many of the business men came
here at his solicitation. His family leads in
all social matters. Mr. Cody, who earned
his title Of Honorable " through an cleo
ton to the Nebraska Legislature in 1872, il
one Of the most generous aud whole-sonled
men that ever breathed. He is no dosper-
ado, although he is credited by General Phil
Sheridan with having killed more Indians in
legitimate warfare than any white man liv-
ing, His has been an exciting and eventful
life, and the history of his varied exploits
would fill volumes. Not many of his old
cronies live in this vicinity. His best
friends Wild Bill and Texas Jack, are dead.
Buffalo Bills famous hunt with the Grand
Duke Alexis and the Earl of Dunraven are
matters of history as are other great hunts
in which some of our prominent public men
participated. As a horseman he has few, il
any, equals, and as crack shot believe no
superiors. - Philadelphia Times.
