Miss Lea1e, the Crack Shot.

At the recent shooting match at Bisley,
Miss Winifred Leale made her mark as an
excellent shit. She is a member of the
Guernsey Rifle corps, which is naturally
proud to own her among its fellows. The
rilemen nave a soft spot in their hearts for
all ladies; but ell of them look upon Miss
Leale as a special favorite. She receives
all tho praise bestowed on her with a certain
girlish pleasure, which is quite charming
and natural. When dressed for her sport
she wears n fawn-colored homespun skirt. q
white flannel blouse, fastened at the throat
with a dainty gold brooch and at the waist
with a gold buckle, a care of the same
color as the ski,t. A neat little sailor hat
glass over her shoulder, but docs not handle
her Martini rifle, as she does not care to at
tract attention. Miss Leale Attitudes
her success to nothing else but pure
chance. How she became a crack shot she
does not know. Her first shooting was at
Guernsey, one OF the channel islands. Ihey
we're practicing rifle shooting. Somebody
happened to ask her whether she would not
have a shot, just to try her luck. She did
try and hit the bulls-eye. When first told
of her success she thought they were hay
ing fun at her expense. Since then she
practiced and soon became n capital shot.
She doesn't mind the heavy Martini rifle.
but Miss Leale will not allow herself any
advantage not enjoyed by other members
of her corps. She does not mind the
"kick,' and dispenses with a shoulder pad.
Miss Leale is the only woman who completes
with men in rifle shooting. The princess of
always placed in such a position that she
cannot miss the target. Many other ladies.
like the daughter of Gen. Roberts, are also
good shots, but use a light rifle.

Match Making for a Child Queen.

The queen regent of the Netherlands and
her daughter, Queen Wilhelmina, are to
visit the German emperor and empress at
Potsdam during the last week in August,
and there is reason to believe that tho be-
ttothal of the little queen to her second
cousin, Prince Frederick OF Prussia, will DO
announced shortly afterward. Queen
Wilhelmina wns born in August, 1880,
and Prince Frederick is ak wears
her senior. He ia tho eldest son
of Prince Albert. of Prussia, regent of
Brunswick, whose mother was Princess
Marianne, of the Netherlands. Tho mar
riage. according to ~Labouchere. will be ex-
ceedingly distasteful to the English court,
where there has long been an earnest wish
Prince Alfred. of Edinburgh, an arrange
ment which would have opened the way for
the succession Of the duke of Connaught to
the duchy of Sake oburg- Gotha.

Pearls are very p~erishable. Great quanti-
ties of them have been found in old Indian
mounds and tombs, showing that the saw
ages did anciently appreciate their beauty.
but they were so decayed as to be entirely
worthless. Pearls should never be put into
greasy or soapy water, nor should any fruit
acid be permitted to come in contact will
them. They can be kept best in magnesia.
Tt was believed in early times that hollow
pearls were caused by the oysters taking
fright at thunder when in the act of on
ceiving them. 1t is perhaps to be regretted
that the story of Cleoratra's dissolving a
great pearl in vinegar and drinking the mix
ture must be set down as mythical. 1t
would take a very long time for vinegar to
dissolve a big pearl, and any acid strong
enough to dissolve it quickly could not be
drunk. Doubtless Egypt's fair queen had a
great many huge pearls. One of them is
said to have been sawed in two, the halves
being used as pendants for the ears of the
Capitoline Venus. What are known as
Roman pearls'' are made by lining glo-
bules of glass with a substance derived
from fish scales, which I'VE it to their

says: The Rev. Phillips Brooks will be
fullfledged bishop just month from

formal conservation is to occur in Trinity
Church, this city, and it will be a red

Many of the highest church dignitaries

represented. The exact order of the SER
vices has not yet been arranged, but
Bishop John Williams of Connecticut,
the presiding bishop of all the dioceses,
will have charge, and Bishop Henry c.

secration sermon. Bishop Thomas NJ

Secretary Proctor on a visit to the West

Secretary Proctor on Visit to the West.
A Chicago despatch of Sept. 18th, says:
Secretary of War Proctor, who has
recently been appointed by Gov. Page of
Vermont to succeed Hon. George F. Ed
munds in the United States Senate, ar
rived here at midnight accompanied by
Gov. Page and party of friends. He is
making final tour of the military sta
tions of the West previous to his resigna-
tion as Secretary, in order to accept the
senatorship. In an interview he said:
we will probably have less trouble this
winter with Indians than for a number
of years past. For this condition of
hings much is due to the intelligent
policy of General Miles. feel great
interest in the plan of enlisting fighting
Indians as soldiers in the regular army
and propose to make a thorough inquiry
into its practicability. The number of
military stations in the West will proba-
bly, not be decreased, as has been re-
ported, for a number of years. The
number is now about down to mini
num- The Secretary will go from here
to the posts in Minnesota, South Dakota,
Montana, Nebraska and other points.
He will retire from the Cabinet, he says,
November first"
Everybody seems to think as the
writer of this despatch does. The fact
is that Senator Edmunds is still senator
and will continue to hold that office until
Nov. 1st. What Gov. Page has done is
to notify Sec'y Proctor that he purposes
to appoint him to succeed Senator Ed
munds Nov 1st, and Col. Proctor has
written to say that if appointed he will
accept-just this and nothing more.

FLOKER IND SHEEHAN.

The New York Democratic convention
nominated on Wednesday Roswell P.
Flower for governor and William +.
Sheehan for lieutenant governor. For
secretary of state Frank Rice was put in
nomination, for controller Frank Camp
bell, for treasurer Elliot Danforth, for
attorney general Simon Rosendale, and
for state engineer Martin Schenck. The
candidate for governor is just what he
was called in the convention by dele
gate opposed to him, ''boodle'' candi-
date. But for his money he would never
have been thought of for the place. He
is at present a representative in Con-
gress, one of the sort that one has to
look in the Congressional Directory to find
out who he is. He has been there for
some little time but nobody knew it by
any thing he has ever done there. he is
a thoroughly commonplace rich man.
At the same time he is good-hearted,
genial citizen of the Empire State, but
with no qualifications that should make
him its chief magistrate. Sheehan is at
present the speaker of the Assembly, and
is young and "hustling' politician.
The rest of the ticket is made up to suit
the engineers of the party, as indeed the
whole of it is. The significant thing,
however, about the convention Is that
Tammany Hall controlled it and did it
too, notwithstanding some objections on
the part of David B. Hill. He for in
stance, opposed the nomination of his
friend Sheehan; he wanted too, Isaac F.
Maynard for attorney-general, but Tam
many oVerruled him. He wished also
the convention to either be silent on the
financial question or to adopt his resolu-
ton, which he sent to Saratoga by his
private secretary, who was present in the
committee-room when it was rejected.
To his "straddle" the business men of
New York city in the convention were
opposed. They wanted and got
declaration in favor of an honest dollar,
though even they had to submit to
further declaration, which may mean
one thing or another, according to who
interprets it. The Democracy cannot be
square on anything unless it is in oppo-
sition to temperance.
The platform is devoted largely to
State issues, and is mass of mlsstate-
ments in these as was to be expected.
The convention was very largely at
tended and was most inharmonius
gathering from beginning to end. At
times it was a perfect pandemoniu m.
We give specimen of its harmony"
elsewhere.

The death, Monday, of DIR. Geo. b.
Loring of Massachusetts,, removes a
prominent man from the politics of his
State and the country. DR.. Loring, who
had reached the advanced age of IA years,
was supposed to be in the best of
health and good for many years of active
work. He has been conspicuous man
in his State for more than forty years.
He was born in North Andover, Mass,
in 1917. After graduating at Harvard
he entered the marine service as sur
geon, and was chosen postmaster of
Salem, Mass, in 1858. After his term
expired he devoted himself for many
years to practical and scientific agricul-
ture, and was the president of the New
England Agricultural Society since 1854.
He was delegate to number of Re-
publican National conventions, and was
at one time chairman of the Massachu-
setts State Senate. In 1876 DR.. Loring
was elected to Congress as Republican,
serving until 1881, when he became Com
missioner of Agriculture, holding that
office until 1885. In March, 1889, he was
appointed United States Minister to
Portugal, which Office he resigned in
1890. DR.. Loring will be remembered by
Bennington people as member of the
Congressional committee who reported
favorably on the bill appropriating $4O,-
600 to the Battle Monument. In every
position DR.. Loring has done his duty
intelligently and we'll.

Here is an item of encouragement to
investors in Kansas securities. A Wash
ington despatch says: "The Census Of
fee reports that the mortgage indebted
ness of Kansas is S235, ,4S5, ,1OS, which
does not include State and railroad
land contract debt of $7,661, ,71S. This
debts 81 per cent. of the estimated true
value of all taxed real estate, WHICH is
between eight and nine hundred million
dollars. The total assessed valuation of
real and personal property in 1890, not in
Guiding S57, 1856, 233 of railroad property,
was $500, 1893, Ill. The average amount of
debt per mortgaged acre is placed at
S6.G5. Superintendent Porter says the
largest debt exists in the sections where
there is the greatest prosperity and
where there has been an advancement in
improvements"

NEWS AND NOTES.

Rev. j. Kimber, Assistant Secretary
of the Protestant Episcopal Board of
Foreign Missions, whose headquarters is
in this city, says that the missionary es-
tablishment destroyed by the rioters at
Ichang, China, undoubtedly belonged to
the Protestant Episcopal Board. The
mission there has been established for
four years. 1t is in charge of Rev. Her
bert Somerby, an Englishman. He has
with him two Chinese deacons and sew
eral Chinese laymen. This is the most
interior station occupied by American
Episcopalians, and is about 900 miles
from the mouth of the river. The Eng
lish Wesleyans and the Roman Catholics
also have missions at Ichang.-N. Y.
Press.
The product of oleomargarine in this
country, as indicated by the figures of
the Internal Revenue Bureau, is 40 per
cent. greater than last year. Dairymen
look with astonishment on the statistics,
while the oleomargarine manufacturers
declare that the use of that article as a
substitute for butter is growing on its
merits.
When Judge Cooley began to read law
in Michigan he really didn't look like a
man that would become one of the most
famous of American jurists. His pre-
ceptor remarked to him one day that he

though he had pursued his studies dill
igently, it was evident that nothing
would come of it. Finally the gentle
man in whose Office he was reading said:
"Thomas, YOU have worked diligently

a lawyer, aud advise yeu to go to work
at something else"

Wednesday nominated as their candi-
date for governor the Hon. Charles H.
Allen of Lowell, and for lieutenant
governor the present incumbent, the
Hon. VIM. Halle of Springfield. The
present governor is Democrat, though
all the rest of the State officers are Re-
publican, as are also the council and
the legislature. There is every proba-
bility that the whole ticket will be Re-
publican in November. Mr.. Allen had
in the convention as his only competitor
the HoE. VIM. W. Crapo of New Bed
ford, who has twice before been sde-
feated for the nomination, and on both
occasions with resulting advantage to
the Democrats. Mr.. Crapo will not push
for nomination as some others will,
hence he "gets left" to the manifest
disadvantage of his party. This time,
however, the party is so thoroughly
united and Mr.. Allen is withal so good
man. that defeat is extremely i'm
probable. The platform is, as was to be
expected, strong for an honest dollar.
1t emphasizes the fact that twenty-five
Democratic States are in favor of dis
honest one. The tide, however is setting
so strongly in favor of President Harri-
sons opposition to the free coinage of
silver, that the danger from that source
may be considered as already past. The
President has the business sense of the
country at his back and the Democratic
party cannot make headwav against it.
