PECULIAR PHRASEOLOGY,
Two Paragraphs Which Leave the Reader
Somewhat Mysrifled.

Two Paragraphs Which Leave the Reader
Somewhat Mystifled.
New Evening York SUM-
Two very funny paragraphs appeared yes
terday in the general telegraph news. The
first one is dated Milwaukee, and relates the
sorry fortunes of ga handsome young
woman" who was found dead near the rail-
road tracks leading into the city. Sad
enough, all this, truly. But the dispatch
goes on to say: "From an unsi gned note
on her person, beginning, Dear William,
it was evident that she was school teacher
and that she took her own life, having
thrown herself under train"
1t is probable, from the evidence already
given of the severely logical working of
this mind, that the first proof given answers
to the first conclusion, and that the woman
was recognized as a school teacher because
the note was unsigned. This may, there
fore be taken to indicate that it is habitual
though much-to-be-regretted custom of the
Milwaukee schoolma'am to omit the im-
portant detail of her name at the end of her
correspondence.
The second paragraph discusses the mat
rimonlal intent of the whistling Mrs. Shaw,
now in London, who has taken opportunity
emphatically to deny that she IS engaged to
the Duke Di Somebody, who" she de-
clares. "never paid her any attention beyond
that of gentleman to lady"
This is charmingly explicit. There be
persons who consider the privilege of matri-
monial address one of the peculiar and
delightful attentions ''of gentleman to .
LADY,"
Mrs. Shaw should be too good Yankee
to forget the precise and delicate meaning
of our frank-hearted phrase, "paying atten-
tion Z" ---- -----

interrupting, "when Frank Lord made the
Parisians open their eyes. 1t was at the
Valentin range in Paris. near the Grand
Hotel. He was in there with Mr. Miller,
another American, and some men were shooL-
ing when Lord went up to the range and TOOK
pistol. He told the marker to hang up ms
watch over the target and then announced
his intention of putting bullet through the
ring. 1t was ticklish undertaking, and the
Frenchmen watched him with wondering
faces; but he did it, and the watch was un-
harmed. You ought to have seen the look
of astonishment on the face of the proprietor,
He took the watch, which belonged to oneot
the markers, and had it hung in the window
with an Inscription. Lord has done the
same thing with his $500 gold watch here IN
New York.
'Here's target made by Genera! Tom
Thumb" said Mr.. Conlin. "The little fel-
low tried six shots with rifle and surprised
a good many OF us. Four were very neatly
planted on the bull's-eve."
SPLITTING CARDS.

shots is splitting a card with half-ounce

bullet at IL yards. To an ordinary marks
man this would seem an almost incredible
feat; yet it is to the experts an everyday
affair. The cards are set up edgewise, and
the slightest contact with the bullet is
shown by the red line left in its trace. The
faintest mark scores hit. Maynard Bixby,
a Western mining official, frequently in
New York, is renowned card-Splitter, and
has hit the edges of 9 consecutive cards in
10 shots. r. Van Rensselaer, Schuyler on
one occasion hit 10 straight, and George
Bird g. W. K. G. Griffin 9, C. E. Tiffany,
OF the noted jewelry firm, z; Fred Sands z,
and Pierre Lorillard, Jr., consecutive and
8 out of 10. Lorrillard is the most rapid of
all at this kind of shooting, and hardly
seems to take aim. j. B. Biydenburgh,
brother of Charles B. Blydenburgh, a men,
Der of the American rife team that went to
England many years ago, is an old-timer,
but he can split six cards out of ten
Some of our marksmen have fancy shots
of their own which few others care to at
tempt" said Mr.. Conlin. "E have seen
Frank Lord take rife and Creedmoor

and make good shooting with mirror. His
back is to the target and he takes aim in
the glass and delivers the fire over his shoul-
der. The Teaser' is rather unique target
and it bothers them good deal. 1t is in
the form OF a cross with the four arms

lar target and the center blocked off in
squares. This is set swinging and it is a
hard mark to hit.

RUBBER ON HORSES FEET.

Protection for the Animals on the Hard
Granite Pavements.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.1
Il The protection OF the horses fore feet is a
great problem. A horse weighing 1000
pounds, and going at $50 gait, strikes a
ton with each fore foot when he puts it
down. If this figure is correct it doesn't
take practical horseman to see the folly of
driving a good stock on granite streets.
A shoe has recently been devised that
may improve the situation little. It con-
sists of rubber oval band quarter of an
inch thick, terminating at the ends in a
heavy cork or cushion. Its general shape
is that of horseshoe, the rubber cushions
representing the heel-corks. An iron-plate
shoe goes with this, and the heel ends are
shortened to give room for the rubber corks.
The rubber shoe goes against the foot and
is nailed on with the iron shoe, the whole
forming an iron-plate shoe with rubber heel
corks. The invention is destined to take
the place of all other plate shoes for road
sters, especially as it is cheaper shoe than
one with metal corks, considering the
difference in wear.

They each count go out of possible 60-the
full score It is better score than that
made by Naude, the Paris expert, and the
shots are better punched. Mr. Bird is mar
ried to Vanderbilt.
Another magnificent shot is Mr.. A. A.
Cohen the manager of the New York Card
Company, who uses Massachusetts, target.
Here is his carton: 1t is full score of 72-
the highest ever made on that kind of tar
get, and the shots are well grouped. Bird
has also made 72 on the same kind Of q tar
get, but Cohen's was the better of the two.
One of the best shots in town is Mr.. Henry
W. Wickham, a relative of ex-Mayor Wick
ham. By-the-by, he is the original of the
character immortslized by Archibald
Gunther in his famous novel, 'Mr. Barnes
of New York" The old Mayor was
crack with pistol himself in other DAYS.
Pierre Lorillard, Jr.. made a wonderful tar
get, putting in II shots in minute with a
Winchester, and scoring 81 out of possible
IS. Ira Paine when last here made a fine
showing on the French target-fve BULLS

with heart which Paine pierced BY an off
hand shot with 44-caliber revolver at II
yards.
THEY SHOOT AT TWELVE YARDS.
"All the shooting here is at IL yards at
the graduated targets. Many of the experts
like to try fancy shots. One of the most
successful is Frank Lord, who is a magnif-
icent all-round marksman. If you look
down the range you will see an iron plate
hanging about midway on the left side. Mr..
Lord can stand at the distance here, slightly
to one side, and make bulls eye off the
angle, his bullet hitting the iron before
striking the target. A few others can do
the glance shot, but 1t iG very difficult"

great many exceptions

target where be could hardly steady himself
and make bulls eye after bulls eye. The
body swayed but the point of the gun didn't.
Smoking doesn't seem to affect marksman
as much as one might imagine. Almost all
our marksmen smoke and their nerves don't
seem to suffer, unless, of course, they 60 to
excess; but the man who keeps temperate
in these things will do the best work. One
of the cleverest shots at the French target
is Eugene Higgins, the son of the million
aire who recently died leaving him fortune
of about $40, 100000.
"What is the best plan for lighting an in
door target, SO as to give the least strain to
the eyes?" asked Mr.. Conlin.
"Gas is best-a we'll protected, steady
fame. The electric light is too bright and
hurts the eyes, besides being unsteady on
the target. Kerosene is better. Many of
our crack shots wear spectacles. j. B. Col
lins, real estate lawyer and one of the best
men in town with revolver, never shoots
without glasses. Some of the Boston marks
men, too, who come here when they are in
town, shoot through glasses
MORE POPULAR THAN BILLIARDS.
Target practice has taken the place of bill
lizards with hundreds of business men in
New York and several other large cities,
notably Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia.
In the metropolis there are many excellent
shots among the ladies of wealth and fash
ion, but their practice with revolvers and
pistol is principally in the summer, when
they are in the woods or among the hills,
safe from inquisitive masculine eyes. With
improvements in weapons and new methods
of practice the old style of fancy shooting
with telescopes, shoulder-rests and straps
has disappeared. Practical shooting is now
the rule, and even military methods have
begun to conform to the style of the sporting
rife. In any international tourney with
either revolver or rifle Uncle Sans sharp
shooters are pretty certain to hold their own
against the world. g. h. SANDIsoN.

PECULIAR FOLKS IN JERSEY.
Some Traits Which Distinguish Them From
People Elsewhere.
New York SUM-

New YORK sum-
A traveller of some renown recently
bought q place out in Jersey and settled
down to the serious work of writing book.
He claims now that his time is all occupied
in observing Jersey people.
"They are as entirely different from New
Workers." he said, las the Spaniards are
from the natives OF Iceland. They never
stand up straight, and they run to babies in
a fashion that is startling. Every railroad
car in New Jersey consists of six-tenths
babies in arms and three-tenths boys in
breeches. The last one-tenth is made up of
adult humanity. There is yelling, squeal-
ing and yelping all along the line
OF the railroads between New York and
Philadelphia. do not know why people
live in Jersey except that it is that they
cannot help it. Once man goes out there
the entire healthfulness and unconvention-
ality Of life form an attraction that is i'm
possible to resist. Nobody ever bothers to
stand up straight. wear good clothes, or
shave more than once a week out in Jersey.
If he did, he would be held up to the de-
rision and contempt of his neighbors.

"Should 1 happen to be cut of from the

We had been in bed about two hours when
I was awakened by the odOr of smoke, and
was hardly on my feet when a gong sounded,
and there were shouts of "Firep" The
smoke was so thin that knew the danger
was yet afar off and began dressing. While
so engaged heard the drummer cantering
up and down the hall, shouting "FireP' at
the top of his voice. WhenI finally got out
I found him jammed into a linen closet half
way down the hall and crying like child.
His rope escape hung on the wirework Of
