THE German reichstag was not there, but
Bismarck's eightieth birthday was celebrated
with appropriate honors all the same. The
white-haired old statesman who did so much
to bring about the unity of the German EN-
pire that he may well be called the Father of
His Country, has certainly not deserved the
indgnity he has received and the emperor's
graceful tribute to the great German states-
man, following so close after the reichstag's S
refusal to congratulate Prince Bismarck on
his birthday, has Won hearty approval from
many quarters. Although loaded with hon.
ors and splendid gifts, the, prettiest occur
renee of the festivities preceding his natal
day was the presentation, from the empress by
the crown prince Of a beautiful basket OF roses
and letter, with the simple words, "From
mamma" It wodlds have been but the de-
cent thing for the reichs,ag to have publicly
honored TIE Iron Chancellor in spite of all
party differences and antagonisms,, and the
German people will. doubtless resent the In :
suit 10 their great statesman.

SCORES At SHELL MOUND,
F. 0. Young Believes That His
Rifle Is Now Perfect for
CenterS.
MiIitiamen, Naval Reserve Boys anc
German Sharpshooters at
the Targets.

f. o. Young, one of the crack shots oi
the Columbia Pistol and Rife Club, was a
happy man yesterday. For over year
he had been experimenting with his rife
and ammunition in the hope of obtaining
perfection in both. That is that he might
be able to send one bullet after another
into given space with unerring precision,
and to know that when the desired result
was not obtained that it was the fault OF
the man and not of the rifle. He changed
his 32-caliber rife to a 33, and tried vari-
Gus kinds of powder and bullets of differ
ent weights.
Yesterday at the Shell Mound range
Young resumed his experiments, and al
the con clusion of his last string of five
shots he cried, "Eureka!" for he had fixed
his rife so as to hit the center of 25-ring
target at 200 yards. In five shots he made
%, %, .25, Is, %. He might have con-
tinued making dead centers until dark
had not the handspring snapped. The
two twenty -threes were an inch and a half
apart and the twenty-fives could be coy
cred with the ball of the thumb. These
results were obtained with black and
nitro powders.
D. Mclaughlin, also a member of the
Columbia Club, did some remarkable
shooting. In six shots he made "a, "a, a,

their mark in the Emerald Isle and proved
that they will be decided acquisition to

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 6.-The police last
evening raided fan-tan game in Helm
lens Chinatown and arrested twenty-one
Cinnamon aud one woman. The police
have been watching the place for several
'days, but as soon as the sentinels saw the
officers coming the doors would be closed
and bolted. In order that an entrance
might be effected, Chief Kidward decided
to disguise the officers. An old Junk
wagon was secured and Officer Haley,
blacked as a negro, and officers Anderson, ,
Bache and Woods, in the conventional
attire of hobos, retired to HeinlenviIle in
this rig.
The approach of the dilapidated old
wagon did not attract the sentinels' atten
tion, and before the Celestials had time to
bolt the doors the officers were inside. The
twenty-five Chinese were taken to the
police station, and fourteen were subse-
quently released on depositing $5 each.
