The Match Shoot.
The Town Club Ahead. But Willing to
Give the Country Another Chance.

The challenge extended by the West Fe-
liciana Gan Club to the Twin City Gun
Club for a match shoot having been &C
copied by the latter, the clubs met.
"Wednesday afternoon, Aug, II ut three
o'clock and SHOT to finish. It was a.
greed that all the members of each club
should shoot and the victory should be de-
cided by the six best records OH each side.
as will be seen by the appended score,
thesix leaders of the Twin City club made
81, those Of the West Feliciana IS, aud
victory perched upon the banners Of the
former. The shooting however, on either
side, was not so good as the clubs feeI
that they can do, and the Twin City has
decided to give their opponents a chance
for revenge, and will meet the West Fe-
licianas at the fair grounds for another
match shoot, Friday, Ang. 20, at three
O'Clock. Admission will be free.
The weather was inclement Wednesday,
aid prevented u large attendance of spec
tators, as well rs making it disagreeable
for the marksmel, but The meet afforded
much fan notwithstanding
1t should be mentioned that j. II. Percy
and +, T. Converse tied for sixth place OF,

He was the first man in France to sue
cessfully repeat the experiments of
Roentgen. lie is 80 years old, is di-
rector of the photographic institute of
France. and has invented dozen scien-
tific appliances The great advantage
of his new apparatus is that it is no
larger and is as convenient to handle
as a parlor stereopticon. In its small
compass he has put all the electric stor.
age cells, transformers and tubes neces-
sary for obtaining the X ray. He claims
that it will show the interior of the hui
man body with as much facility and
exactitude as it reveals the contents Of
a trunk or travelling bag. That by its
use one may see the action of the heart
and all the organs, and locate and dag
nose without error all disease and frac-
lures of the bones and many severe
forms of organic diseases.

The position carries with il salary

name Of Maj. Handy was ae only one
that was seriously considered Pro-
vision for the commissionership was
made in he general deficiency act. the
paragraphs relating 10 II, and .ndcat-

THAT the president shall appoint a

in such manner Is to cross and recross
in a kind of trellia-work design. Gray
tulle makes the most charming gowns
imaginable, and the fancy of the mo-
ment is TO line them throughout with
white glace silk, with skirt and waist
trimmings Of black ribbon velvet and
point de Nenise lace. This idea is very
prettily carried out in the gown shown
in the picture.
For the summer girl, to whom the
charms of the cotton shirt seem never
to wane, there is much of interest in the
new ones that have been placed on eX-
hibition during the past week. They
are made by duly qualified shirt
makers, and are not to be COMPOUNDED
with the cheap ready-made garment so
much in evidence these days. There are
fascinating features about all of them,
but the prettiest, think, are made Of
fine white cambria. These look exceed
ingly dainty with their insertions of
fine embroidery and frills of cambria
edged with narrow lace. The new plaid
cotton shirts have exactly the appear
ance of silk, although they are, of
course, far more economical. They
wash most beautifully, too, and will be
found useful for all outing purposes.
Cheaper though not nearly so success
full, are some in pink batiste, spotted
all over with white, which look their
best when completed with large turn
down collar of linen with a white silk
tie. This style of collar is only becom-
ing, however, to the very young throat,
for, alas, the rundown collar will re-
veal each separate wrinkle with frank
ness positively brutal.
From shirts TO belts seems a natural
transition, and certainly waistbelts
were never more attractive than at the
present time TIE variety is unlimited,
and prices very reasonable, quality con-
sidered. / was particularly pleased
with one design carried out in black
satin with oXidized silver 1nedallions.
Another smart looking one was made of
white kid with enamel medallions in
blue white and gold linked together
with small gold chains. Exceedingly
pretty, and yet not very costly, are the
gold-fligree belts. the filigree medal
lions being connected with narrow
bands of gold galloon.
