A Shooting Gallery Secret.

From the New York Sun.
A shooting gallery popularity that has
recently come into popularity consists In a
very light and fragile ball of glass. or I'm
some cases. a hollow egg shell, suspended
from a string. This always attracts the
inexperienced marksman because the ma
tural destructiveness inherent In human
nature causes him 10 prefer to shoot at
something which he can smash rather than
at a target that gets no harm from his &C.
curacy. Therefore, he wastes his three
shots at l % cents shot, not on the tar
get. but on the suspended mark. And he
never hits 1t.
merry wastes no time on the deceitful ball
He knows that il can't be hit. Probably ne
knows II from experience, for II Is one of
those facts that no man Will believe until
he has tried IT for himself. The reason for
II is that very light hollow glass ball. or
a blown egg. II properly hung on Q slender
thread, will dodge any ballet that ever
came from a gun barrel The air that the
bullet piles up in front of II blows the light
mark out OF the projectile's path until IL
back to its original position. This is very
provoking for the marksman, who. il he be
4 good one, has the doubtful satisfaction Of
seeing the target execute three quick lodges
at the aforementioned price of / % cents
per dodge.
There is nothing, however. so remunera-
tive TO the proprietor as these pendant
marks. for the gunners, provoked at their
lack Of success. will keep on and on and
on trying to hit mark compared to which
a pin head would be bam-door shot and
they only give Il up in disgust when the
cost begins to tell upon them, or when some
wiser friend explains their lack Of success
Two dollars Is a cheap price to pay for the
knowledge that one Of these hanging tar
gets is better mark for a base bali than
for bullet.

A CRAP EXCURSION,

Glyn ont is now a favorite place for col

jackson, the Waterman, did not seem anx-
tous TO interfere in the matter. and Sam
Jones, the banker" of the game had things
all his own way until one OF the parties had
reason to complain about the manner in
which the game was conducted. This was
on the homeward trip of the boat, and dur
Ing the fight Sam used q knife on the other
man in the fight. Fortunately, the blade Of
the knife entered the mans leg. and did
not do much harm. The officers of the boa t
could not let so serious a fight pass I'M
noticed and so they had Sam turned over
to the police when the boat reached the
dock last night.
The case was discussed In Judge Miller
court this morning. Sam told the court
that he paid the Waterman 80 for the
privilege Of running the game, but this
was denied by the Waterman. although he
did not explain why Jones was permitted to
run the game until the fight took pace.
Judge Miller said he would guarantee
that Sam would run no more games this
excursion season and gave him sixty days

II Soldiers Were Bullet-PrOOf.

From the Spectator.
If there is not some latent but fatal de-
feet In Herr Dofe's system OF making a SOL
der bullet-proof. the result Of warfare will
be very remarkable one. Since the object
Of war is to kill-"to place hors de combat
Is only a less crude way of putting the fact
new ways of killing Infantry and cavalry
will have to be devised. The chances Of
hitting men in the face at long distances
with rifle fire will not be good enough. But
the only way Of killing effectively that will
remain open will be artillery fire, close COM
bat with the bayonet and dubbed rifle-pre-
ferably the latter, as the cuirass will make
the bayonet difficult to use with effect-and
riding men down by cavalry charges. The
first Of these, artillery fire, has hitherto
been regarded as of comparatively little i'm
portance in the matter OF killing
1t IL often declared. indeed, that the chief
effect produced by the guns is the moral
effect. Though not many are killed, men
do not like to be within range Of artillery.
Possibly, however. the effect Of artillery
fire could be increased In any case. and
falling off of efficiency in rife fire must
Increase the Importance Of artillery fire. 1t
10 obvious, however. that the chief effect
Of bullet-proof soldiers on the circumstances
hand-to-hand fighting, means an advantage
to the strongest and most athletic force
Now. II will be seen from the bare enumer-
alton - the changes which seem likely to
follow bullet-proof soldiers, that a great
advantage will be given to England.
Bul1et-proof cuirasses will give an ad-
vantage to the nation which can only bring
small number Of troops into the field
the importance Of artillery. But this should
be In favor Of England, for. though we
have not the CONSUMPTION, and so cannot
get men In large Quantities, we can manu.
faCtur6 q n
the revival Of close combat ought to be in
our favor, for the Epglishmen are certainly
better at the rough Of close
fighting than their neighbors. The Infantry
are naturally more hardy and more athletic
and the cavalry are II not theoretically
better riders more capable horsemen An
Englishman Is more likely to get his horse
to DO the impossible than q Frenchman or

Hoe. Mr.. Willis knew that collections Of
antiquities were on the free list, and as
this was a collection of antiquities he IN

But the customs officers discovered that
some of the plate was produced later than

SENATORS HILL AND BRICE.
What They Have to Say About the

say anything are:
Senator Hill prefer to say nothing al

the letter. 1t comes rather late and may
complicate the whole situation and defea,

Henrietta Sadler, young white woman.
deliberately ended her existence last even

Tibbett, 206 East Capitol street, by the use
of morphine. The deceased had been In Ill
health for number Of years, and twelve

would prove beneficial. Such was not the
case, however. and as the young woman
gradually grew worse. she became despond-
ent. On one OCCASION she informed her sister
that she intended killing herself should her
sufferings continue.
Miss Sadler failed to appear at breakfast
this morning, aad when looked for, her dead
body was found in her room. With 1t was
a note stating that she had swallowed ten
grains Of morphine. On a chair were the
clothes which the young lady had picked
out to serve as her burial attire. The coro-
ner viewed the remains today, and gave a
certificate in accordance with the above
facts.
