Americans are a nation of marksmen.
Speaking of the army which took Santiago,
General Shafter has said: This was an army
of marksmen. l suppose four-ffths of the
men in that army wore on their breasts the
marksman's badge. In that battle, which
lasted two hours, less than ten rounds per
man were fired by us, and the losses, not
withstanding that my men exposed their
whole bodies while the Spanish were in
trenched and only showed their heads, were
about equal. That speaks volumes for the
shooting of our men" 1t does. 1t shows
also that every able-bodied man in this
country ought to learn something of the rifle

Leon w. Washburn's great allied

poprome comes to Freeland tomorrow
Manager Washburn, while being among
the younger school of circus owners, is
also one Of the wealthiest, and in organ
izing his shows for this season he has
spared no money to secure the best for
every department. His horses, many of
them imported, are models of horsefesh,
while his trained animals do everything
but talk. They will appear at every
performance with their original trainer.
A royal troupe of Japanese, imported
expressly for this vast enterprise, and
the only double troupe ever brought to
this country, is another feature. The
hipprodrome department is certainly
the largest ever seen with II travelling
organization, and the many races, trials
OF strength and olympic games are soul
stirring and worth going miles to see.

Anthracite Freight Rates.
he philodplpbio prpsg

From the Philadelphia Press.
An effort is again being made to get
the anthracite coal carrying companies
to reduce the freight rates on anthracite
coal so that there will not be the differ
ence there now is between the freight
rates on bituminous and anthracite
Goals. The agitation comes up every now
and then, but it is stated that there is
now to be made strong effort to in
dnce the railroad companies to make
some concessions.
The anthracite coal operators, outside
OF the large companies that are affiliated
with the railroad companies, have for a
long time protested against the freight
rate on anthracite coal and they state
that in the event of Il decrease, the hard
coal men could be in better position to
compete with the btuminous coal opera
tors. Owing to the cheap transportation
as well as the low price of btuminous
coal, many large manufacturing estab-
lishments are doing away with the
furnaces which were adapted for burn
ing anthracite and are now using btu
mnous The introduction of gas stoves
for cooking purposes has caused a falling
off in the amount of coal All these
elements count against anthracite.
The railroad officials state that there
is no reason for a change in anthracite
freight rates, nor reason to put it
upon the same basis as bituminous coal.
The freight rate for this kind Of coal is
deemed too low by the railroad people
and they state that for the past few
years there has been no money made by
the roads that carried bituminous coal
exclusively.
