New York Sun Special, Sept. 2.

New York Sun Special, Sept. 2.
One of the distinguished visitors to-day
was Gen. George w. Wingate, president
of the National Rifle Association, and ex-
insnector of rifle practice of the state of
New York. Gen. Wingate Is opposed 10
the silhouette army targets, which are be-
ing used this year for the first time. He
said they were the cause of a deal OF
grunnbling among the marksmen, and were
not a bit satisfactory. These targets, y
said Gen. Wingate, bring in the element
of .uck instead of the element of skill. The
silhouette on the 200-yard targets Is alto
gether too large, and should be placed in
the center instead Of on the bottom. A
man who makes a wide lateral shot can
often get five, while one who shoots say
two inches under the silhouette gets a
zero. although his shot is the best.
'The silhouette at 500 yards is an almost
perpendcular line and should be made
wider. 1 would suggest that changes be
made according to my idea. The new tar
gets are only an army rad and VIII not
become popular"
cen. Wingate considers the Georgia
81, 4rnshotoers almost invJ cib.a He said
tna that state had a VCrt erIul y good
team. Ii was ar example CT what can be
accomplished by practice and organiza-
ton.
George S. McAlpin, the crack pigeon shot,
who is a member of the Seventh Regiment,
New York, sent a telegram to the Georgia
team to-day, congratulating it on its vic
tory Yesterday in the company match. Nc

Not Discovered TIL Monday.


Napanee, Ont, Aug. 3o.-Burglars
during Friday night. broke into the
Dominion Bank here. and got away
with $4,000. No trace OF the thieves
has yet been discovered. It took the.
bank officers until Sunday night to get
into the save, the combination OF which
the burglars changed and thus temporS
arily hid the extent OF the robbery.
Only two persons. both oflcers. were
known to have the combination Of the
900 was in cash and $4,000 in checks.
When the bank was opened, Satur-
day morning, the robbery was not sus-
pected, as the safe had before been out
of order The chashier was unable to
open 1t. Therefore 1t vast supposed
something was wrong with the combi-
natidR. A local locksmith was called
into open the door. It was believed
that only the large outer door opened
the trouble would be ended. But it was
found that the combination Of the in
ner door was also changed. This COM
plicated matters so that It was not
until late Sunday evening. that the Of
ficers were enabled to effect on en-
trance
The burglars had opened the safe,
secured the booty. changed the combi-
nation Of the safe and carefully locked
the doors, leaving no trace OF their
crime. They got good start in their
flight before the fact Of the robbery
had become known. The bank opera
tons, today. were carried on by money
obtained from other banks in the place.
The robbery means loss of $22 900 to
the bank. The checks can be stopped.
The robbery was the work of experts.
who were able to work out the combi-
nation Of the lock.
No suspicion attaches to any Of the
banks employees.

KINGS DAUGHTERS TO GATHER.
SAVANNAH TO HAVE THE STATE
CONVENTION IN MAY.

The Convention to BE Held May II,
1S and 19-Mrs. Isabella Charles
Davis Head of the Central Council
of the Society to he Here With
Other Leading Members-Savannnh
Ladies to Make the Gathering an
EvemtfuI One.
A state convention Of the Kings Daugh-
ters will be held in Savannah May II, Is
and 10.
A meeting was held yesterday afternoon
at the Sunday school room of the Inde-
pendent Presbyterian church to consider
the matter. Five of the Savannah circles
of the society We're represented, and the
enthusiasm Of former years showed itself
among the members. They We're unani-
nous in the decision that the convention
should be held and subscribed to the fund
that is TO be raised for the purpose OF
paying the expenses of Mrs. Isabella
Charles Davis to Savannah.
Mrs. Davis IS at the head of
the Central Council of the soci-
ETY. at New York. She is woman
of untiring zeal and energy in the Kings
cause, and her presence and influence in
the convention is expected to be of great
benefit in reawakening tagging interest
and putting the organization upon the
footing it he'd up to year or two ago.
Some nineteen circles were then under
thorough organization and their members
were always ready and willing to engage
in whatever was demanded of them 1t
10 II -
is sought, and that the ladies taking a
prominent part in securing the convention
are interesting themselves to obtain.
Mrs. Davis left New York Monday on
her tour over the country to attend a
number of conventions. She will go first
to st. Louis, and from there to Kansas
City, where the Missouri convention is to
be held. She will then visit Topeka, Kan,
Memphis, Tenn, Louisville, KY, and
Akron, o. After that she will return to
New York and will be present at the
Pennsylvania convention at Philadelphia
on May 10. The week during which she
will be here will be divided between
Charleston and Savannah, and afterwards
she will go to Tarboro, N. c., to attend
the convention.
Another very talented lady, Mrs. Mary
Lowe Dickinson, general secretary of the
organization and the editor of the Silver
Cross, the organ Of the Kings Daughters,
was expected to pay the cities named a
visit, together with Mrs Davis, but she
is i'll at her home in Washington, and is
unable to travel. The Ocean Steamship
Company has granted the ladies a reduced
fare for Mrs. Davis trip down, and they
appreciate the courtesy
Mrs. ]. A. Thomas of Macon is the state
secretary of the society and will call the
convention. She and Mrs. Rowland of
Augusta and many other prominent mem
bers of the Kings Daughters are expected
to be present. The ladies here will devote
their attention and efforts to the work of
arranging all the plans for the meeting
and arousing interest. The meeting yes
terday was presided over by Miss NJ. Reid,
in the absence Of Mrs. Northumberland,
who was prevented by illness from attend
ing.
