Rifle Practice at Night.

A luminous foresight for use in bad light with guns of various kinds has been patented in England by MT. Wi mans. A tiny incandescent lamp, sup piled with current from a simple form of battery concealed in the stock, is mounted within a shield at tho muzzle of the gun, and faint rayof light, cal culated to indicate the position of its source, is exposed in the. direction of the shooters eye, and this is sufficient to enable him to obtain the required alignment with the back sight and with the target, be it animate or otherwise. The special application of the sight is for game shooting at night and for serv- ice purposes for instance, as the illumination of machine gun used against torpedo attacks during the night.

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT OURSELVES.
 This week marks an era in the history of the News Letter, it being now entirely removed to it's natural home, the town of Stafford. It is now in it's ninth volume, and though the first eight years or more of it's existence, it was published in anoth- CT state, and leaning on another. publica- tion for support, yet it's success under all it's disadvantages has been such as to in- duce us to undertake it's publication in this town, where it must of necessity be self supporting, or go down. It is for you, readers, to say whether it shall live or die. If 1t fails, it will be an argument to discourage the next man looking for a field to establish & paper, from giving Stafford trial. Holland county has never yet sustained newspaper, though many have been established within her limits. We cannot see why it should be so. Her citizens are certainly as intelligent and public spirited as can be found anywhere, and we have thus far found nothing but friendly feeling toward our paper, and have generally found everybody willing to bid us '"God speed" and a great.many who backed up their well-wishes by sub- scribing for it, and "paying in advance" ,. Indeed, our subscription list has so grown since the time of our taking possession of this paper as to warrant us in hoping that by the first of January we will have aIist oP f 1fooo Our advertising patronage as yet is not very good. We have not near the home adve1 tising we wish, and and are con- pelled to admit other advertisements to | fill spacetha we would like to see filled with those of a local character We know, however, that in time people here will find that "advertising pays," just as people in other places have been con- vinced of it. We would not have people advertise for the sake of giving us their patronage but we would be glad if those who can benefit themselves by making their business known.to the public, would take the mode which will place it before the greatest number of individuals at the least expense and we firmly believe, in fact there is no room for doubting it, that the best and cheapest way to get the at- tehtion of the people of Stafford and vi- cinity is through the columns of the Staf- ford News Letter. We again appeal to our friends to help us gather up the items of news of local character. We do our best to make our paper aweekly history of this section of the county, but we are not satisfied with our success. We shall succeed better, no doubt, as we become more acquainted with the country about Stafford but for the present we ask your indulgence for our failures and imperfec- tions.

COOL G. p. II. PROPOSITION.
Western Roads Asked 10 Stay Out OF
the Excursion business.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Some time since
the Western roads asked the Canadian
Pacific to confine it's excursions from
points in the far Northwest to East
ern Canadian points to two or three
days in each week This the Canadian
Pacific has declined to do. 1t says
that the plan suggested would be
very satisfactory for the Chicag0-St
Paul lines, which made the request
but not at all satisfactory for the Can
adian Pacific, as it has on former oc-
casions tried the plan offered by the
Western reads and found it not at ali
satisfactory. 1t suggests in it's turn
that the ChicagO-St. Paul lines remain
out of the business entirely. This is
suggestion that is not at all to the sat-
isfaction of the Western roads, and
they will get into the business if they
possibly can. There is a strong ele-
ment of doubt, howevr, in their being
able to get any of the traffic, as, un-
less the lines of the joint traffic asso-
citation join in the excursion rates east
of Chicago, there is no chance of the
Western roads running any of the ex-
curSionS. The joint traffic association
has so many times refused to take ac-
tion similar to that which the West
ern roads now desire of them that
there is only very small chance of
their doing it now.
The Erie road is evidently a believer
that better times are at hand, as this
morning it set to work in its shops
and in its construction work over 5000
men who have been laid off ever since
last June.
The eaSt-bOund shipments last week
were 1854 tons against 1888 for the
preceding week. and $4,000 for the cor
responding week of last year.
