THE INTER.ISLAND SHOOT.
Good Scores Made Saturday-HilO
Report to Arrive Tuesday.

GOOu scores MADE SaturQay-HllO
Report to Arrive Tuesday.
1t was exceedingly exasperating
to the members of Company B to
be beaten by their Hilo rivals in
the shoot of some weeks ago, but
their defeat seems to have worked
wonders, for, with the very same
team last Saturday they came
within two points of equaling the
National Guard record, now held
by Company E of the regulars.
The boys of Company B feel quite
proud OF their score of 421 points
and are quite sure that the Hilo
teams record, which will be re-
ceived by the Kinau Tuesday after
noon, will not equal or surpass it.
In order that the team might
feel the strain of notwithstanding,
and in order also that the second
team might have practice, a match
was arranged between the teams,
with the following result:

The result gives Company b
twenty men who average 40, and
thirteen out of twenty who made 40
or better.
The weather on Saturday was all
that could be expected.
Captain White was afraid of CIV
ing his friends a severe shock, so
he did not get above his usual
match record of 43.
Sergeant Thrum had the grim
satisfaction of feeling that should
Hilo win again the blame could
not be placed wholly at his door.
In the last shoot it was through
his miss that Company B lost
through Creedmore rules.
Private Elvin's 3, which reduced
his score to As, was undoubtedly
caused by defective bullet, as the
com mittee that examined the tar
get Immediately after the shot re-
ported an oblong puncture.
Private Oleson pleased his friends
by coming quite up to his practice
scores.
Private Johnson did well, his
lead of two bull's-eyes giving him
confidence.
Sergeant Anterior and Private
Rhodes of the second team will
soon find themselves promoted to
the first.
Should the military authorities
decide against any ceremonies or
drill next Saturday, then the re-
turn match between Company B
and the second team of the Sharp
shooters will take place at the
range of the latter organization.

Against women's Clubs.

Mrs. Adeline D. T. Whitney doesn't
seem to approve of women's clubs. This
is what she says Of them in the Man
chester Union:

effectively as possible, their own ranks.
Naturalists tell US of wonderful little
race of Alaskan rodents, which once in
q certain period reaches an enormous in
crease, SO that its numbers are beyond
computation. Then, all at once, of their
own accord, they set forth in steady col
umns, deliberately, comfortably, gayly,
picking up their sufficient substance as
they go, and even multiplying ON the
way. until their persistent march brings
them to the Pacific sea, into which they

The Woman Who Wouldn't.

An illustrative case of "The Woman
Who Wouldn't is reported from Khar-
kof. A pretty peasant maiden in one Of
the suburbs of that Russian city was
recently coerced by her relatives into
coDsenting to marry small proprietor
of the nei2hborhood for whom she enter
tanned a special dislike. The wedding
party appeared. few days ago. before
the altar of one Of the city churches.
The service went on until the officiating
priest PIT the usual question, wilt
thou take this man." etc. The girl to
this replied with an emphatic negative,
and all the persuasions of her friends
failed to change her resolution. The
wedding party returned to the house of
the brides parents, who again vainly
endeavored to shake the girls obduracy.
The unfortunate and unwilling girl was
then soundly beaten, not only by her
parents, but also by the friends Of the
bridegroom. She was carried back weep
ing to church by the wedding party and
the marriage service was recommended.
Again came the crucial question to the
bride, and once more the unhappy girl,
with tears and bushes, resonantly ez-
claimed, "No; a thousand times mo-"
and appealed to the protection of the
priest, which was readily granted

however, though after she left the
steamer at the foot of the cataracts she
was certain to pass months without see

her mon porters among barbarous tribes.
The river Ogowe is open TO trade fer
COG miles. The French keep stern pad

munications open and visit the factories,
and in that Miss Kingsley got up as far
as N'Djole. At this point, 2O6 miles
from the sea, the lady got together a
canoe Grey Of eight men and starred up
the rapids. The canoe journey was a
long one, and nearly dozen times the
craft was upset and its occupants were
thrown into the water. The current was
strong, and Miss Kingsley had several
narrow escapes, being saved more than
once by clutching the rocks in the rapids
and by holding on to them until the ma
tives righted the canoe. 1t was remark
able that none of the crew lost his life,
but once one man was missing fer few
hours and was found porched Oh PIN
nacled rock in the rapids.
Miss Kingsley went up the Ogowe
nearly 100 miles beyond the point where
she left the steamer. Then she descend
ed little way and struck out overland
through the Fanswe country to the
westward, travelling 100 miles, much of
the time among the Fangwe people, be-
fore she reached the Rembwe river.

American College In constantinop,e.

The report of the American College
For Girls, at Constantinople, presented
by President Mary NJ. Patrick, covers the
fifth academic year. The total number
of students enrolled is 161, of 10 nation
alities, including SO Armenians, 10
Greeks, Is Bulgarian, II English, 6
Americans, z Germans, 8 Israelites, l
italian, Russian and l Turkish. OF
these AZ are in the college department,
the remainder being in the preparatory.
The total number is less than that of the
previous year by IL, but the average at
tendance was greater than before.
A change in the course of study has
been made, leading toward the establish
ment Of three elective courses-classical,
literary and scientific-instead Of one
general one as at present, with elective
courses in language study only. The re-
port refers to the great difficulty in re-
gard to higher education in Turkey aris-
ing from the lack of preparatory schools,
compelling the college to do its own
preparatory work. During the year a
chemical laboratory has been established
and furnished by tho alumna of the col
lege. A science building is pressing
need. The self government association
continues to be a success and proves an
important factor in developing spirit
of self reliance and independence on the
part of the students. 1t has control OF
all the internal order of the, institution
so far as it affects college students. Owe,
30 of the 1O3 alumne were present a,
the last commencement and manifested
great interest in the proceedings.

A jaunty arrangement for a woman
with a long neck is to take 1 4 yards of
six inch ribbon and edge just enough in
the middle of it with lace to go around
her neck. Then make the ribbon in three
folds and tie in the back, SO that the two
ends and two loops are exactly of a size.
1t looks stunning. Plaid ribbon is par
ticularly pretty treated this way. To
make it more effective you may strap
the collar of your dress with bands Of
lace through which to put the ribbon.
