the full 70-grain charge they would fall back

Then comes the inspector general of rife

and the positions are amended SO as to more
nearly conform with those that tactics and
long practice have declared to be the proper
thing. But these excusably eccentric positions
are by no means common. surprisingly

least good average idea as to how the thing
ought to be done and their example has been

technical expertness is concerned. from so

considerably. Some men thrust the support

has he repeated the feat OF winning that tro-
ply, and as three of those times were in sus-

corps had to buy another one. At Bennings in
1882 he won the Columbia rifle association

SNN5R OR A LONG TINE the need Of .
H.M "A bank in the western section of the
EfN " city has been sharply felt by the bust
III ness interests Of that neighborhood.
n The demand Of business m en- for bank
ing facilities nearer at hand than those afforded
by the banking houses in the vicinity Of 18th
street resulted in the establishment Of the
West End national bank. Until recently there
has been no bank between 18th street and
Georgetown, and the business men Of the in
terrifying district have been compelled to lose
much valuable time in going back and forth
for the transaction of business. The idea of
establishing the new bank first started last Sep
TENDER. 1t was gradually worked up and the
bank was formally organized october Ii, 1889.
The new bank opened its doors for business jan
uary z, 1890. in its present temporary quarters,
1908 Pennsylvania avenue. The building on the
corner Of 18th street is being greatly improved
and fitted up as . model banking house. 1t 10
rapidly approaching completion and will soon
be occupied by the bank as its permanent
quarters. This will give it much needed
additional room for its business which has
been increasing steadily and rapidly, making
the success of the new institution foregone
conclusion. Mr.. William r. Riley 10 president

The following is the list of the directors:

PRESIDENT Riley.
Mr.. VIM. R. Riley, the president Of the West
End national bank, has been so long connected
with Washington and the business interests of
the city that he stands in no need of an intro
duction here. For many years Mr.. Riley has
sentative business men and his name has been
connected with almost all of the movements
looking to the advancement Of the city and its
general welfare. He was not born in this city
but in Virginia. though his family came here
when he was seven years OF age and he has
made this his home ever since. He was edu-
Gated in the schools Of the District, though his
schooling did not extend over a very large
number Of years. When he was still
quite boy he entered the dry goods
business with Anthony Holmead, who was
prosperous merchant half century ago. AS
was largely the custom then, Mr.. Riley made
his home with his employer, but he left when
he was OF age to go into business for himself
at the northeast corner Of Sth street and Market
space. He afterward moved to the center of
the block, where he remained until about
twelve years ago, when he built the Riley
building at the corner of 9th and streets.
Recently he built handsome residence on
Iowa circle and retired from active business
altogether, intending to devote himself simply
to his various interests. He had no

perience in banking was with the firm Of H. d.
Cooke q Co. with whom he remained for nearly
ten years, and was engaged with their assignee
after the closing Of their doors until some
time in the year 1885. About this time he took
an active part in Strengthening out the affairs
of the building associations of Georgetown,
which had been complicated by the misman-
agement OF former secretary. In the spring
OF 1886 he WAS elected secretary of the Citizens
Equitable building association of Georgetown,
which is today one of the most prosperous in
situations of the city. In the fan of the same
year he was appointed to a position in the
banking house of Riggs Co., which position
he held until he was elected to the secretary
ship of the Washington loan and trust COM
pany. Scarcely had he accepted this when he
was unanimously elected cashier of the West
End national bank. To this position he brings
q large and varied experience and an extensive
acquaintance with the business men of the
community. He was one Of the original mem
bers OF the Washington stock exchange and as
one of its present members is well versed in
the value Of all local securities.
Tho Traders National Bank.
The Traders national bank is still younger
than the West End bank, for its doors opened
for business less than three weeks ago. But if
those three weeks offer q sufficient ground to
judge of its future the success Of the institu-
ton is an assured fact 1t has started out
under most favorable circumstances 1t has q
skillful corps Of officers and employees. Its To-
cation 10 one Of the best in the city and its &C.
commodations are unsurpassed, occupying as
IL does large part Of the Washington safe
deposit company's new building, No. Sl6 Penn
sylvania avenue. Every bank OF course wants
to own its own building and this the
Traders will probably do in time,
but in the meanwhile they could not be better
fixed than they now are. The rooms occupied
by the bank are large and airy. with tiled cell
ings and walls, and fitted mp completely IN brass
| work and hard woods. The building itself il

every precaution 10 taken to render it secure.

great vaults Of the safe deposit company. The
object from the start has been to have only
men connected with II In whom the community
] had confidence. The bank started with Q capi-

intention then of entering the bank
ing business, but he was waited on by
a committee from the new bank,
who requested him to take charge as its first
president. This he finally decided to do. In
ante bellum days Mr.. Riley represented the
seventh ward in the city councils for number
Of years. He was one of the originators and is
now director in the Arlington fire insurance
company and is also stock holder and director
in the Bank Of the Republic. He has been a
director in the Washington and Georgetown
railroad company for the last fifteen years and
for the last ten years a director in the Wash
ington gas light company. He was also one of
the organizers and is now a large stock holder
in the Corcoran fire insurance company. In
matters spiritual Mr.. Riley is member Of the
Episcopal church and for a quarter Of CEN
fury he has been known as one of the frmest
pillars OF Ascension church.
CASHIER WILLIAMS.
Chas. P. Williams, the cashier, was born in
Georgetown, DC, and was educated in the
public schools Of that town and the business
college of this city, from which he graduated
in 1873. Upon leaving school his training in
banking was begun in the First national bank
of Washington, D. c., and with but short inter-
missions his life has been passed in the same
business up to the present time. After the sus-
pension OF the First national bank his next ex-

voluntarily resigned April "a, 1881, for the pur-
pose Of engaging in the real estate business.
and in which he has been successful He has
organized and conducted as secretary and
treasurer six building associations, the irst of
1879; then the Metropolitan, the Hamilton, and

Of cashier by the unanimous vote OF the board,
which he accepted He is a member of the
Masonic fraternity and prominent and infiu-
entail member Of the Independent Order OF
Odd Fellows, representing this jurisdiction as
the grand representative to the Sovereign
Grand lodge.
The teller, Mr.. Henry F. Bauer, is well
known in banking circles. For the past twenty
one years he has been connected with the Me-
Nopolitan bank. His courtesy OF manner and
high character has secured for him the friend
ship and esteem of all those who have come in
contact with him. Paul H. Cromehen, the re-
ceiving teller, has had practical experience in
the banking business. For the past four or five
years he has been connected with the Second
national bank, where his efficient services
pointed him out as q man deserving promotion.

and then, while the
company obeys the COM
mand, he moves off, fol-
lowed very speedily by

man is provided with
five rounds of ammuni-

a great record. In 1892 as a member of the
National Rifles, he won their badge and then
went to CreedmoOr, where he won a place on
the international team. In that match he took
second place and he captured similar position
in the skirmishers' match. The militia cham
pionshlp of the United States attracted him and
he was good second. He made at 500, 800
and 900 yards a score of &c. a record not yet
broken. In 1888, as a member of the Wash
lngton Light Infantry corps, he won the corps
badge. Then he won place on the interna-
tional team and went to England. At Birming-
ham he took first prize and at Wimbledon cap
tured second On this trip he made a score
of 100 at 200, 500 and 600 yards--the best on
record-and then did no more shooting until 1887
when he won the Light Infantry badge and first
prize at the national drill and encampment
The best record the major has was made in
1883, when throughout all the preliminary
practice of the American team, the general
shooting in England and the big match he
made the highest average-the best aggregate
OF the team. Maj. Pollard has general super
vision OF all brigade shooting.

seven years ago, Re has made this his home
and the scene vi his business successes. Mr.
Henning starte 4 in business first as boy of all
work with Mr.. John A. Ruff when he was but
fourteen years of age. In 1859 he went into
the clothing business on his own account neer
the corner Of 18th street and Maryland ave nue.
southwest By judicious advertising and bust
ness sagacity Mr.. Hennings trade increased
so rapidly that in 1867 he found his quarters
entirely inadequate for his needs and he moved
to 40 7th street, where he inaugurated two
novelties in the clothing business that could
not help but succeed. He adopted the strictly
one-price system and also that of refunding
money on returned purchases. In 1885 Mr.
HenDing associated himself in business with the
house OF A. Saks & Co. at their present large
establishment and there he remained until
quite recently, when he resigned to accept the
presidency OF the new bank. There are few
men In the city who have larger circle of
friends and acquaintances than Mr. Henning,
and 1t is not likely he will find this any him
drance or drawback in his new business de-
parture.
CASHIER BALDWIN.
Mr.. Brent Baldwin, the cashier, is the oldest
son of MIR. Edward Baldwin, formerly of the
firm of Baldwin Brothers, the well-known
builders and manufacturers, and grandson of
Mr.. William W. Birth, an old and well-known
resident of this city. Mr.. Baldwin is we'll

the first squad, the men make their monthly
record at the longer range. Now don't let
anybody run away with the idea that the gal
lery is 500 yards long. Yet the shooting at that
range is accomplished with just as much accu-
racy as though the men were down at the arsenal
range. The difference in distance is allowed
for by placing on the lower portion of the
target a bulrs-eye at which to aim; if the aim
is correct then the real buifs-eye-a foot or
more abOve-ls hit This movable center is
adjusted to suit the various imaginary dis
tances-300, 500 and 600 yards-and it works
with unfaillng precision.
Generally the shooting il better than was
anticipated and the inspectors say there is a
steady improvement. BY and by the gallery
will be deserted. for the men will be required
to test their skill over the range at the Wash
ington barracks during the fine spring and
summer weather.
SEASONS SHOOTING.
Each member of the guard will be required
during this shooting season to fire the full
scores at each distance-2OO 800, 500 and 600
yards-in the gallery and on the range a full
score consisting of five shots at each distance
eighty shots in all. The man whose aggregate
score-made up of the two best scores at each
distance in the gallery and on the range
amounts to 800 will receive a sharpshooter's
badge. He whose score is 260 will wear the
marksmans buttons on his collar. An aggre-
gate of 200 ranks man as frst-class; 100 puts
MIN In the second class, while less than 100
drops him into the military soup and tags him
third-class
The men who are endeavoring to push the
local soldiery into the best possible position on
the score cards, the men who encourage and
give practical assistance to expert and neOphyte
alike, are worthy OF honorable mention in con-
nection with the gallery.
MAI. POLLARD.
First is Maj. J. NJ. Pollard, inspector general
Of rifle practice, one Of the most popular
officers on General Ordway's staff and a rifle
shot whose fame has gone many mile beyond
the limits of the District of Columbia. He has
