sTARKLoFF's WONDERFUL SHOOTING
He Kills Flying Pigeons While Riding n
Eicyclc and Performs Nther Fonts

In the combined capacity of trick bicy
cist and trap shooter DR. Starklotf. health
commissioner of st. Louis, probably has
no equal. Not long ago, it is said, he
caused such crack pigeon shots as John L.
Brewer T. d. Fulfogd, J. A. r. Elliott
and DR. Carver to turn green with onvy
by killing l25 consecutive birds and plac-
ing now world 5 record to his credit. The
men who can kill 100 straight at The traps
can be counted on the fingers of ona hand
and If Starhlof has actually grasscd 1875
successive birds at 30 yards rise 30 yards
boundary, he is the most remarkable pi-
geon shot in the United States.
OF late Starkloff has developed marked
talent rs a trick narksman Shooting
glass balls from moving horses has long
been done by Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley,
DR.. Carver, Captain Bogardus and Others
and Ntarklotf, who is nothing if not origi-
nal, began looking about him for new
sensation. Like a great many other pco-
pie nowadays he is riding u bicycle ard
the idea of shooting pigeons while speed
ing along over the turf suddenly suggested
itself to him one day recently while he was
engaged in practice at the traps. He at
once mounted wheel graspcd the handle
bar with one hand, elevated his gun with
the other, began riding at fair speed over
The rough stubblo field toward the five
traps and called for bird He did not
aknow which Of the five was to be sprung.
tbut when the trap puller released the bird
! fart best away from him his gun cracked
Ina second and the scorer cried Dead
bird! amid the applause of the amazed
spectators.

Bisinarck's Neat Answer.

When he was a young man, Bismarck
was for some time an official reporter for
one Of tho courts of justice. In those days
his temper sometimes got the better OF
him, but upon one occasion at least his
wit saved him from disgrace.
This was, when questioning witness
the latter made an impudent retort, where
upon Bismarck exclaimed angrily;
If you are not moro respectful, / shall
kick you out of the rooml'
Young man, said tho judge, inter
rupting the proceedings, II would have
you understand that this is a dignifiod
conrt Of justice, and that If there is any
kicking to be done the court will do it. "
"Ah, you see" said Bismarck to the
witness, "if you arc not more respectful tc
me, the court will kick you out of The
room. So be careful, very careful, sir. ="

The Ideal in The Milk Business.

Last Wednesday the 80, 600 local Gus
toners Of the New York condensed milk
company accommodated themselves to tbs
day off which the employees and officers of
the company devoted to their seventh
annual outing to a description OF which
the n Y. Tribune dey0te5 nearly three
columns The outings of this mammoth
concern are in way as peculiar as are
certain other successful features which
this company has inaugurated and which
are believed to have contributed materi-
ally to its phenomenal growth since 1857.
One popularity of the concern is that the
majority Of It's directors are employees of
the company, and that the management
OF the various factories, dspots, offices and
warehouses is intrustcd to employees, who
direct all the affairs Of the corporation
The stockholders give their men extraor-
binary power because they have all reason
to feel that their business will be con
scientiOusly and proftably administered
The men who occupy places Of authority
and trust have all passed from the lower
grades in the business, and each one is
perfectly and thoroughly familiar with
every branch of the work up to hin
station. There are bookkeepcrs and

tendents and trusted managers Of large
plants who filled the lowest grade under
Gall Borden, the inventor. and the met
who today occupg subordinate positions
know that better ones await those who
show themselves capable and worthy.
Another peculiarly is that from It's in
ceptlon the company has eodeavoVed,
except where it seems absolutely impos-
sible. to avoid working upon the Sab

rarity To STE such flne body Of employees
and the perfect harmony which ex sts is

Fitting the Foot.

A veteran shoemaker contradicts the
theory and practice Of many of his craft
who insist that the way to euro Il distOrt-
q foot is to follow its abnormal joints and
swcllings il the last for the shoe. On
the contrary, the shoe should be made as
nearly the normal shape of the foot as pos
sible, with the concession Of a slight en-
largement whore the distortions nrc found.
In this way the foot, unless the trouble is
of very long existence, gradually will be
restored to its proper and natural shape.

new NAVAL SMALL ARMS
Lee Rife Has Been Formally Adopt
ed by the Department.
1t Is the Smallest Bore Used in Any
Service and Possesses Many
New Features.

After years of legal complications over
numerous patents and experiments with
every type OF foreign and domestic small
arms that have been submitted to the
ordnance experts, the Navy Department
has closed a contract with an American
inventor for the purchase of his gun. The
contract, which was consumated yesterday,
result in providing the entire Navy and
Marine Corps with a modern rife to re-
place the antiquated type that has been
in use since the war Mr. j. P Lee, the
inventor of the new gun, will receive from
the Government $50 900, for which he
agrees TO practically surrender his patent
TO the Navy.
The Navy begins the immediate manu-
facture OF 10, 1000 rifles to supply the service
and marine corps, and already gun manu-
facturers have been asked to submit bids.
The barrel Of the new gun will be unlike
that of any other small arms in use either
abroad or at home. Its caliber is not only
the smallest OF any adopted for military or
naval purposes, but the penetrating power
secured In recent experiments far exceeds
that OF the army gun, which is foreign
arm, or those Of any rifle in the British
French or German services. Nickel steel
composes the metal with which the barrel
is made. The combination of the two, it is
believed, produces not only a more durable
gun. but gives greater tensile strength aud
renders the piece more easily preserved.
Recent tests made at Newport with the bar
rel have developed a penetrating power
equal to sixty inches of oak or three-Quar-
ters of an inch of steel, with the velocity
ranging from 2,4O0 feet per second to
1900.
The new gun will have q caliber Of 23 S,
length about % inches and weight not ex-
cecding eight pounds. The bullet it will
carry is the size of a small lead pencil ard
about half an inch long. The lightness OF
the gun and it's small caliber will greatly
increase The number of rounds of ammuni-
tion that can be carried by each man. The
Army gun, which weighs about one pound
more than the Navy gun, has a so caliber,
and on account of the increased weight OF
the ammunition the number of rounds each
soldier will carry is limited to $50. The
Navy gun is believed by ordnance officers
TO be superior in all respects 10 that OF the
Army. They claim that it is not only lighter
and shorter, but that its penetrating powers
surpass IL.
The Navy Department is now testing the
Colt machine, with a view to determining
whether it answers all purposes for the
Navy gun II is purposed to select a rift
having the same caliber as the new small
arm, SO that interchangeable ammunition
may be used, and the annoyance OF having
two varieties of ammunition on board for
practically one purpose avoided
