On the Diamond.

The Victors went to Lyndonville on
Saturday and defeated the nine there by
score of 80 to IS. The st. Johnsbury
boys found themselves playing against a
fairly able.bodied team, but took good
lead promptly and kept it up. This is
the fourth straight game that the Victors
have won this season; they have lost
none.
Ten to seven tells the story of the game
here last Saturday between the Academys
and the Dartmouth Reserves. 1t was a
pretty contest and fairly large number
of people saw it. The home team play, d
against considerable odds, but held up
finely and kept their opponents down to
a reasonable degree. Jenness pitched
good ball and he was well supported by
Newell and the rest of the boys.
The Academys will play their first game
in the Vermont Interscholastic League
on the campus here on Saturday afternoon
with the st. Adams high school nine, and
contest iull of interest may be looked

The st. Johnsbury Gun Club.

At the annual meeting of the St. Johns
bury Gun Club last week these officers
were elected:
President, ]. w. Titcomb.
Vice-Pres., Edward F. Griswold.
Sec. and Treas, F. c. Beck.
Club Captain, H. A. Belknap.
Elk. Com, Dr. E. H. Ross, DR.. H. G..
Billiard, Thomas Hunter.
The question of establishing rifle
range was favorably discussed and a
high hill back of the proposed location
for the targets makes it absolutely safe
or 100 or 200 yard ranges.
The members of the club have erected a
building on their grounds to be used for
the storage OF guns, ammunition and the
other essentials for the successful carry
ing out Of this most exhilarating sport.
The club was most fortunate in securing
it's present location which is on the fat
Just west of the John Belknap shop on
the Fair Ground road. 1t is easy of ac-
cess, level and protected from strong
winds, the requisites most essential for
accurate shooting. The club was formed
a year ago and has steadily increased in
membership. Many new applications
have been received this season and the
outlook for the club is most promising.
Clay pigeon shooting is not generally
understood. These pigeons arethe shape
OF a saucer and are thrown from trap
with surprising rapidity. After witness
ing few shots it is plain wherein lies
the fascination. The club shoots every
Saturday afternoon from 4 to 6. All
shooting is done under strict rules and
no loaded arms are allowed except by
individual actually shooting.
Business men will find no better way
to free their minds of bills due. Don't
think you cannot shoot until you try

body get gum!
Soon the town was in a turmoil, yell
ing CROWD following in hot pursuit of the
bear, some of the boys pelting him with
stones Suddenly a big shepherd dog
bounced out Of a yard and dashed after the
bear. Bruin paused but minute or two.
but when he passed on the rash dog had
no future interest In the proceedings.
At the street corner a lawyer carrying
double barreled gun came face to face with
the bear; but the latter turned down the
nearest alley. The crowd increased and
encircled the frightened animal, making
escape impossible. Finding himself at bay,
bruin backed up against barn, rearing
on his launches. The lawyer sent two bull
let's into the bear, whereupon the wounded
animal charged the crowd. One urchin fell.
was trampled upon and had leg broken.
The lawyer slipped another bullet into his
gun and sent the shot through bruins head
and finished him. By this time the engin-
eer and fireman recalled the fact that a
train load OF passengers were waiting at
the station, and hurried back and resumed
their official duties after a bear hunt of
about twenty minutes.

From the Boston Transcript.
Not long aSo as a railroad train was pass
ing through Wilders cut, near Olcut. Pa,
the engineer was astonished to see black
bear coming around sharp curve. fne
cut Is so narrow that there is hardly room
for man to stand aside and allow an en-
CINE to pass without striking him. Bruin
was more amazed than the engineer In
stead of stepping aside, he reared on his
launches and tswaitod events. The locomo-
tive was running less than twenty miles an
hour. for the,nplace, Is dangerous one.
Upon seeing the bear the engineer shut of
steam and applied the brakes. but the dis
lance was tooeshort to escape an accident.
The cowcatcher slid under the hind legs
of the brute and lifted him OF the ground.
Thinking ALI trouble was over. the engin-
eer put on steam ONCE more. while the fire.
man climbed out Of the cab window and
stole along thel guard rail to find out what
had become OF theis bear. He was there.

Fire-PrO0f Wood I'm Warships.
rom the ARMY and Navy Icurual


The war with Spain has already furnish
ed some notable examples of the value of
fire-proof wood on board ships of war.
The reports show that, in the engagement
at Cardenas, the Winslow was in all
probability spared from total destruction
by the fact that under the severest ex-
posture none Of the wood work on her ig-
Bited. And the same condition prevailed
on board the Wilmington. The report
showed that there was a menacing FIRE on
the deck of the Iowa, which ship, Though
partly fire-proof. had had its deck laid be-
fore the electric fire-proofing process was
adopted by the Navy Department. There
Is likely To be no stronger argument in
behalf OF the process than the actual
demonstrations during the engagement of
the present war. The disastrous effects
to vessels taking part in a naval engage
ment are greatly multiplied by not Using
fire-proof wood in construction, and the
dangers are minimized to an equal degree
on the ships the wood Of which has been
treated by the process. Among the ves-
sells of the North Atlantic feet on which
the wood has been subjected to the electric
fre-pFoofing process are the Helena. Will

his personal acquaintance with the Secre-

having him selected for said position, his

the party were many prominent politicians
whose voices in advocacy of protection for
American industries have been heard in
many campaigns In addition to the MEM
bers of the league many prominent repub-
licans were among the invited guests, and
the exercises, while not elaborate, showed
in what esteem the Secretary of the In
terror is held by his friends.
Shortly after ) oC.ock the visitors from
New York and Pennsylvania arrived by d
special train, and were driven at once to
the Arlington. Secretary Wilbur F..
Wakeman mad the affair in charge, and
welcomed the guests. 1t was past
