THE COPS WERE BEATEN.
THEY HAVE AN EXCITING CONTEST
WITH THE GUARDsMEN.
Yesterdays Rifle Match an Interesting
Affsir-Good Shooting Done on
Both sides-The Com
plete Score.

The shooting contest between the
rival teams of the Seventh regiment and
the city police force, which took place
at the Third street rifle range proved to
be wildly exciting affair.
For some time past there has been
good deal of friendly rivalry between the
two teams, resulting yesterday in
closely contested struggle.
The guardsmen finally came ahead by
two points, the final score standing 280
to 278.
The police team was heavily handi-
capped by the absence of L. r. Harris
who is renuted to be one of the best
shots on the force, and several points
were lost by NJ. i. Singleton, whose
first four shots virtually lost the match
for the 'coppers." Singleton warmed
up later on and did some good shooting,
but he was out of form and his first
efforts had bad effect on the ecore.
Every body had good time, however
the beer was good, the sandwiches were
good, and the weather was good, and
although the one side lost it made no
difference in the general enjoyment.
The highest individual score for the
regiment was made by First Sergeant II.
Mills, who scored A out Of possible 80
points. ]. s, McCroy and A. W. Splits
toeser we're next, each with Al points to
his credit.
For the police, r. E. Lee and T. Bene-
dict did the best shooting, both making
total of AZ points out of 80. s. P.
Hensley and J Tyler were close behind,
with Al points to each mans credit.
A second meeting will be arranged to
take place shortly, when the Second
street club carriers expect to turn the

@. L. Johnson captained the police

Forgot Their Tact.

Women are called the tactful sex.
Two women came to the Court Street
theater on Saturday afternoon in search
of a third woman whose father had died
suddenly. The matinee was in progress
and the curtain was up.
The doorkeeper babe them wait till the
act was over, and then cautioned them
against breaking the sad news to their
friend while she was in the theater.
"Just tell her she is wanted at home, :"
he said, s'and get her out as quickly as
possible"
In few minutes there was mighty
noise from within, and the two women
emerged supporting their friend, who
was shrieking and throwing herself
about. She was taken from the building
in a fainting condition.
Doubtless the scene was renewed at
frequent intervals on the road home
The awkwardness Of the messengers had
added difficulties to their own task as
we'll as spoiled the pleasure Of large
number Of people.
"There!' said the doorkeeper in dis
gust, ssthat's just like a woman. You
can tell man something, and he'll see
the point Of it, but women go all to
pieces in emergencies. Buffalo Courier.

How an Artist In Hard LUCK LOST square
Meal by Being Gallant.
Young Snifkins had been travelling in
hard luck. At least that is how he ex-
pressed himself. He had managed to
exc opt bare living by making sketches
from Ilme to time for an enterprising
firm who used his drawings to illustrate
their extensive advertisements.
But with the close Of the Christmas
season poor Snifkins found his occupa-
ton gone, the firm having notified him
that his services were no longer required.
Snifkins left his room one morning
feeling that the last straw had been APP
piled. He could no longer bear the bur-
den. Visions of suicide by various
methods began to fit through his brain
when it suddenly occurred to him that
he was hungry. He consulted his finances
and found that he had exactly 80 cents.

Mr.. Snifkins as he trudged along by her

faithfully on his arguments and pro-

and deeply impressed the bench. The
moment he had concluded the judge Or

The opposing counsel objected strenu-

the dinner hour and that he was ready

A. REMARKABLE ROBBERY.

A Daring Theft of Pair, of Diamond
Earrings on Public Street.
AS bold highway robbery as ever
occurred in the city was committed on
Euclid avenue early last evening. 1t is
doubtful if the annals Of TIE police can
show a case parallel to it. A party of
four ladies were walking on Euclid ave-
niue on the way home from shopping
expedition. They were Mrs. FL. A. Crit
fin, Mrs. F. A. AFTER, Miss Griffin and
Miss AFTER. At $50 o'clock they were
in front Of the residence of Colonel John
Hay, on Euclid avenue, opposite Huron
street. 1t was dark, but many persons
were passing on their way home. The
ladies were interested in conversation
and gave no attention to the stealthy APP
proach behind them Of a tall, spare
young man, attired in a light colored
overcoat. He stepped behind Mrs. AFTER
and placed one hand ON each side Of her
head. He pressed them against either
cheek and then turned and fed. His &C
ton was SO unexpected and the ladies so
startled that they failed for moment to
understand it. Then Mrs. AFTER raised
her hands to her head and learned that
she had been robbed Of her diamond ear
rings.
"Oh, dear, my earrings are gone" she
exclaimed.
A cry for assistance was at once raised
by all of the ladies' Calls were made for
the police. A large crowd gathered in a
few moments, but too late to be Of serv-
ice. The thief after securing his plum
der started at rapid gait along the
driveway between the residences of Colo
mel Hay and General James j. Tracy.
A man left his buggy to chase him, but
the fugitive easily eluded him in the
darkness. He had probably ascertained
the lay of the land in advance and knew
exactly the best course to pursue.
The highwayman gained possession OF
the earrings by opening the clasps and
slipping them out of the ears. Mrs.
/ AFTER escaped injury and only learned
the absence of the earrings when she in
stinctively reached for them and found
them gone Each of them contained a
large solitaire diamond, and she priced
them highly. The value of the gems is
about $500.
''It is the only case Of the kind Of
which / have ever heard" said Captain
Humphrey, of the detectives. "There
are a few cases in which earrings have
been torn from the ears, but do not be.
lieve that any other highwayman has had
the nerve to open the clasps and remove
the earrings just as the owner would
have done. Everything conspired in IA
vor of the thief. When Mrs. AFTER fell
the mans hands pressed against hel
cheeks from behind, she supposed that il
was her husband, and that he had over
taken her and proposed to give her sur.
prise. The first thought Of the other
ladies in the party was that Mrs. Artel
was receiving singular greeting from
some relative whom they did not know
Of course it was all over In moment
and then they discovered their mistake.

1t is safe to say that at no time in the
history of Portland has there been more
profound agitation as far as municipal
politics is concerned then during the past
week. Events have TRANSFERRED that men
of all parties have deplored and we all
ought to have been sobered by them. At
such time as this the pulpit cannot
afford to be silent. When principles are
are concerned the church is false to itself
if fear prevents utterance of truth. At
such time moreover the pulpit can less
afford to be partisan. A minister in his
declaration of principles belongs to
neither party save as one party denies
and the other affirms principles which
he is bound to maintain. Another thing
the pulpit will be careful to remember
that a matter should not be judged be-

BATHS MAYOR ELECT STEPS DOWN.
Captain Patten Takes Milf and Declines
to Serve.
fSnecial to the Press.l

Especial 10 tllc IFcSosl
BATH, March f1.-There is an election
middle here as we'll as in Portland. At
a meeting of the Board of Aldermen last
night it was voted to- obtain $4,000 to
defray certain expenses of the city.
Mayor-elect Patten, alderman from Ward
4, opposed the measure and whenit was
finally passed determined to resign his
office as future mayor of Bath. This he
did in writing this morning. John. r.
Kelley, alderman-elect from Ward 7, it is
understood, will also, tender his resigna-
tor, asshe only agreed to stand if Patten
issto be mayor. This leaves the future
administration of the city in doubt. A
period of thirty days is required for
anot Their election.
1t seems to be the, prevailing opinion
that whoever is mayor next year will
have afherculean task before him. Capt.
Patten was very unwilling to stand at
the time of his nomination. but was
strongly urged to do SOFAS he, is tlndolIbt-
edly tile citizens strongest man. His
chief reason for resigning seems to be
that with Republican majority in both
boards his hands would be practically
tied. Who his successor will be as the
candidate of the citizens is a matter OF
conjecture.
