BIG SHOOTING STAKES.

Charles Manchester, of the Riverton
Gun Club, and DR.. Knapp, Of the
Westminster Club, Of Babylon, l.. l.,
have just matched to shoot a series Of
matches at live pigeons for the largest
stake ever shot for in similar match
in this country or in Europe. There
will be three events, each for $1,000 a
side and side bet of $4,000 a side on
the match, making total of $4,000
at stake. The match is the outcome
of the recent Knapp-Dolan shoot and
was made to retrieve the defeat of the
latter. Mr. Manchester preferred a
series of matches to a single contest,
and DR.. Knapp accepted, and the
terms were agreed upon as follows:
First event-At 100 live pigeons, 80
yards rise, so yards boundary, for $1,000 a
side.
Second event-At 200 live pigeons, 80
yards rise, so yards boundary, for $1,000 a
side.
Third event-At 200 live birds, 80
yards rise, boundary 80 yards from the
trap-pole for $1,000 a side.
To be shot at the grounds of the
Westminster Kennel Club, Babylon,
L. l., on February 6, 8 and 10.
There is an outside bet of $4,000 a
side. The place shooting was named
by DR.. Knapp, he being the challenged
party. j. B. Ellison. a prominent
member of the Riverton Club, and con-
sidered to be one of the best of Ameri-
can trap-shots, was anxious to have this
match a three-cornered one, but DR..
Knapp preferred to have the satisfac-
ton of meeting Manchester alone.

THE STH ANNIVERSARY OF
THE w. G. T. U.

Last Thursday, Jan. 23d, the W. G.
T. u, of Beverly, celebrated the Sth
anniversary of their organization as a
society.
The afternoon meeting at 3 o'clock
was opened by Bible reading by Mrs.
Higgins.
Mrs. Harry Fenimore read an essay
on "why should we include cider in
our pledge"
Mrs. Thos. Craythorn then read an
article from the Union Signal, upon
temperance instruction in our Sunday
School.
The afternoon exercises closed with
a drill by some of the boys of the
Loyal Temperance Legion, under the
supervision of William Craythorn.
Supper was served from $50 o'clock
until s.
One hundred and thirty partook Of
the excellent repast, which had been
furnished by the ladies Of the w. G..
7. U.
The exercises of the evening COM
menced at o'clock, and consisted Of
readings by Mrs Bryan, Mrs. Purcell
and Miss Struby, recitation by Miss
Eleanor Adams, and the reading of the
secretary's report.
This report showed the society to be
in good condition. IS members in the
w. G. T. u; % in the Y. W. t. u,
and ITO scholars in the Loyal Temper
ance Legion. 1t also gave some prac-
teal workings Of the organization, and
those who were present to hear it, as
we'll as the readings by the
other ladies must have more
intelligent idea of the work done
by this society than ever before. A
five minutes talk by Rev. Mr.. Rogers
of the Methodist Church, and Rev.
Mr.. Walden of the Baptist Church
gave some variety to the program.
The solo by Miss Maude Heisler, the
quartette by some members of the Y
w. C. T. o., and the singing by the
friends from Delanco, all added to the
interest of the entertainment.
The hall was filled with large and
appreciative audience, who were quite
enthusiastic in their expressions of ap
prevail as to the success of the entire
entertainment

/ PATHETIC STORY,
How Madame Patti Has Abandoned Her
Waif-Niece and Allows Her to
Drift again.
New York Sum-


One of the most pathetic little figures to
be seen on Canal street of bright mat
i,,ee DAY in New Orleans is that of Carlotta
Patti, the niece and ex-adopted daughter
of the great diua Adelina. Two years ago,
when Nine. Patti -Nicolini went South,
and, stopping over for a couple of concerts
in New Orleans, looked up her dead brother
Carlos daughter, the press far and near
chronicled tho aunt's generosity in rescu-
ing her young relative from the deep
poverty into which she had fallen. Nine.
Patti used not one, but half dozen Ian
guages to express her exceeding JOY in
finding such a charming and gifted girl to
bear away to her Welsh castle. Carlotta
was loaded with jewels, rich costumes,
compliments and favors of every descrip-
ton. From tumble down tenement on
an obscure side street, where bitter pow
erty guarded the door, she passed straight
way into an atmosphere of supreme luxury.
Masters were to be engaged to fit her for
the high station awaiting her, for as Nine.
PATHS heiress she would naturally con-
sort with the rich and noble ones Of the
earth. Six months and then year
elapsed, and Carlotta's old friends spoke
of her as one translated, caught up in a
rosy chariot to dwell in fairy land for
everm0re.
No one, therefore, credited it, when the
report was circulated, one fine day, that
Carlotta had been seen peering out of the
shattered window Of the shabby
old house in Toulouse street. Neverthe-
less it was true, and by slow degrees the
story of her return leaked out. The un-
happy little girl herself was loath to
acknowledge the sad truth. She stoutly
maintained that it was only visit to hor
mother; that in few months she would
rejoin Giant Adelina," and in the mean
while tried to strengthen her position by
displaying the gems and trinkets showered

All kinds of First class Job Work
Lotteries a Century AGO.

Lotteries constituted an important fac
tor in the social economy Of this period.
From 1909, when it was made lawful by
Great Britain, the lottery grew apace
throughout New England. Whenever a
road or bridge was to be built, street to
be paved, or any uncommon public work
to be undertaken, a lottery was organized.
The same agency was invoked when public
debts were to be lifted, fire losses to be
liquidated, or any kind of public indul-
gence to be granted. Lotteries, in fact,
had become universal within hundred
years after the landing of the Pilgrim
fathers. Rhode Island had thirty schemes
afoat in the twelve years, l757-69, and
Massachusetts, advertised three in one
newspaper. Fansuil Hall when burned in
176l was rebuilt By lottery. Harvard
College received the benefit Of a lottery in
|l773.

THE OUTLOOK IN TWO DISTRICTS.
Browne Losing votes-Jones Gaining
Lees Election Almost Certain.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, October 2.-The
political outlook for the Democrats in
this district grows brighter every day,
and from all reports received Mr.. William
A. Jones, our standard-bcarer for Con-
gress, will down Mr.. Baylcy Browne and
retire him to private life. His action on
the Force Bill and in the Langston- Vena-
BILE case has greatly injured him and u
number of his former followers are out
spoken for Jones; and while the seating Of
Langston may gain him some negro votes
the white votes he will lose by it will be
greatly in excess. Both parties, however,
are making strong fight, and Mr.. Jones
is making one of the most thorough can
vases ever made in this district.
THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.
The fight in the Eighth district wakes
warmer every day, and while Hume has
some following in Stafford and King
George it is not expected by some OF his
warmest friends that he will be able to
defeat General Lee. Several of the
prominent politicians from that district
were in the city to-day, and in response
to the SO called dissatisfaction replied
that it was confined mainly to Stafford
and King George. Outside Of these coun-
ties they said Lee would get the usual
democratic vote, as we'll as good portion
of the republican vote, which Hume would
be unable to overcome. Wagers on Lee
are offered at even, but find no takers,
and his election is thought to be probable.
