Probable Winners

OMAHA, June lS-Competentjudges
declare that the Mccarthy Rifles, of
Little Rock. Ark, carried off the
honors at the National Competitive
Drill yesterday. Their exhibition
was q fine piece of work and was
we'll nigh fsultless. The Sealy
Rifles, of Galveston, Tex, presented
fine appearance, but the beauty OF
their drill was marred by individual
errors which will probably result in
their losing first prize. Owing to bad
management somehow, the drill of
the Scollinger Battery, of Fort
Wayne, Iud.. was not up to the stand
ard and all hopes that thaG company
would be the winner has vanished.

When she had finished her werk she went
ap TO him and indalged in short cOnfab
, with him. At about this time Hank

struck him with knife, inflicting
wound two inches long by
shoulder just at the arm pit
The crowd got between them and st ps
ped the fight and Adams was aboua to
leave when he was told that he was
wounded. He did not feel the wound at
first. He was taken back of the stage
and his wound dressed and bandaged In
a rough way.
Captain Hennessy came up at about
this time and arrested Thompson. Adams
had been arrested previously for
lighting and gave bond. Hennessy turned
Thompson over to the special policeman
of the house who took him to the city jail
where charge was brought against him
for fighting, and he went to Jail In default
of bond.
Adams went to Campbell's drug store,
but failing to get doctor there took

and pronounced as ''not dangerous but
painful" by the doctor.

stage to see Annie Howard and tell her TO
go to the telephone, as a man wanted to
speak to her through it, and also that
Adams called him hard name. Adams
denied using the language.

styles in Addressing Letters.

1t is related of Tom Ochiltree that on his
first visit to England he awakened diverse
emotions in the breasts of a country gen
tleman and of a tailor by addressing a let
ter to the gentleman, "Mr Thomas Rug
gles," and a letter to the tailor, "A. Fitwell
Esq" The gentleman was sorely offended
and the tailor felt hattered. The customs
of this country make no particular dis
tinction between the prefix "Mr" and the
affix esq" In England there is a wide
distinction. The title Esquire" is worn
by justices of the peace, well to do country
gentlemen and professional men 1t ranks
next to knighthood The prefix Mr. " is
applied to tradesmen and other plain PEG
pie of respectable callings The miscel
laneous use of these two terms is some
times confusing to students of social and
commercial etiquette.
Here, for instance is &c. " w." who in
writing a business note to bank cashier
is puzzled to know which is the correct
way to address the gentleman. Mr.. b
Holmes, Cashier" or 81 B. Holmes. ESQ.
Cashier" Business courtesy knows no
fixed code by which such question can be
decided. In this country the prefix Mr. Z"
is perfectly proper and respectful desig
nation of any gentleman. Nothing more
is necessary in addressing men not occupy
ing official rank or station. On the other
hand, the affix ESQ" meaningless as it is
here, is accepted as title of dignity. and
certainly can give no offense American
business men are no sticklers for titles of
any kind Conciseness is the main thing
in their correspondence. Most of them

Gen. Pryor tells an amusing story. When

the aperture sided a dilapidated specimen of

Everybody who knows Gen. Pryor well
knows that he is one of the most affable of

larly pleasant, for he wanted to be inter
viewed. But forgetting that he was not in

When Jay Gould is in the city it is no
unusual occurrence for him and his son
George to be seen together on Broadway
between the Western Union building and
Wall street. Since Mr.. Gould practically
took his eldest son into partnership the
two are almost inseparable, and the small
ness of stature of the wizard of Wall
street is never more strikingly apparent
than when he is seen standing or walking
beside his stalwart son. George, although
an uncommonly handsome and well built
young man, is not above the medium
height, and yet he is almost a head taller
than his father
Jay Gould's demeanor toward his eldest
son is charming study. 1t betokens a
degree of affection and pride that makes
the possession of wealth seem insignificant
One day father and son walked into one of
the largest banking houses down town
The head of the banking firm arose and
approached the man of millions with an

The Tobacco Heart.

The influence of tobacco upon the heart
is frequently more strongly marked than
in any other direction. There are few per-
sons who use this substance to excess who
do not suffer from the disordered action of
the organ in question. The impulse is
rendered weaker and more irregular, so
that faintness, intermittent pulse and pal
pitation are induced.
The tobacco heart is so we'll known and
recognized by physicians that when the
organ is found to be in an abnormal con-
dition questions to the patient in regard to
the use of tobacco are never omitted, and
prohibition is insisted upon in every case
without exception. | am very sure, from
my own experience, that many young per-
sons lay the seeds of organic disease of the
heart from the excessive use of tobacco or
from beginning it too early in life.
1t not only lessons the nervous influence
by which the heart is kept in action, but it
causes a deterioration of the organic mus
cular fbres of which the organ is com
posed Weak heart" and heart failure"
so commonly met with in our day, are,
have no doubt, very often the direct con-
sequence of the abuse of tobacco.
The use of tobacco by minors should be
absolutely prohibited, not by laws which
are impossible of enforcement and which
cucumber the statute books, but by home
influence and command If this were
done we should have much less of the dele
terious effects of tobacco, for it is very GER
tain that no young person can use this
substance, even in moderation, without
suffering more or less severely at the time
and laying up for himself future troubles
of even more serious import-Dr. William
A. Hammond in New York Herald.

Not Much Carbon Gas.

There is a widespread belief that the
presence of growing plants and cut flowers
in rooms is in some ways prejudicial to
those who sleep therein. This belief Is
probably due to the fact, learned at school,
that plants give off at night carbonic acid,
and the knowledge that this gas is irrespi-
rable. A writer has recently published the
results Of some experiments made in a
closed greenhouse, showing how fanciful
are these fears.
In this greenhouse were 5000 growing
plants. and the average of three expert
ments made early on three different morn
ings after the place had been closed for
more than twelve hours exhibited only
4.03 parts of carbonic acid per 10000 We
can judge by this experiment that from
one or two plants the quantity of gas given
of must be far too small for recognition,
and certainly many hundred times less
than that formed by a burning taper or
given off by one pair Of lungs

His CURIOSITY Aroused.

Little Clarence is an acute and observing
little fellow. He is full of curiosity and is
continually asking the why and the where
fore Of all he sees and hears. His usual
query is what for!" and this he will re-
peat until he receives an answer that APP
peals to his sense or Imagination. He has
frequently seen his father decapitate a
chicken, and ITO kill' to him meant the
same as Ito chop the head off"
Recently he came to see us, his neigh
bors while trunk was being packed, and
the following dialogue ensued:

ITO pack in my clothing and books"

humorously some one replied. ITO kill
people"
That settled it. That was the sufficient
reason. He looked up knowingly, and
naively remarked:
