Tor passing to the grade of distinguished
marksmen such members of the guard

nual brigade rife team, the only means at

1T has been suggested in this connection
that any soldier who has qualified as a

cwn application, receive the badge of d. NJ,
ard be SO recommended in orders but that
1t be NOT obligatory upon his part to pass
to that grade. This proposition was dis
cussed at a meeting of the inspectors of
rifle practice and unanimously approved.
Il was decided, however that 1t would be
desirable to recognize, by a suitable gold
badge, all sharpshooters who qualify for
ten years as such, and recommend that
authority be grated for the preparation of
suitable design for such a badge
AS the gallery and -ange are equipped

tee, recommend that revolvers be issued

an Issue will stimulate and encourage the
omcers to take greater interest in the more
important duty of rifle practice.
There was no brigade rifle team ORGANIC
ed for 1897. as 1t was deemed best to spend
the money which such q team would cost
in making an attractive program for tho

ion of mother and daughter. Mrs
White ran hurriedly over her list of ac-
QuaintanceS who had met misfortune
by rolling up their sleeves and going to
work, and she found that a countess is
selling hats in London, Mrs. Robert OS-
born is making money in New York by
acting as agent for Partisan mOdiste,
and Miss CrichtOn of Baltimore is get
ting rich as a milliner. All these women
were once social bellies, but the turn of
fortunes wheel compelled them to do
something to earn a living, and they
lost no time in idle laments.
" What these women have done can
do argued Mrs. White, and she set to
work at once. She had an able assist
ant in her daughter Jean, and between
them they arranged to deal in Partisan
gowns. They will handle the expensive
creations of one of the great French
modistes, and expect to get large pat
ronage among the people with whom
they are socially acquainted.
Il am much gratified at my success

found her at the Virginia hotel ask
no favors, but only an equal chance
with other tradespeople on the merits of
my goods, and seem to be getting it,
I rather like the novelty and business
hustle of the thing. 1t keeps me busy
and takes my mind from cares which
might otherwise unnerve me. My old
friends cut me? Not at all. Everybody
is considerate and kindly. 1 am sure
my course will win the respect of all
whose opinions are worth anything"

WE MAY GET HAWAII.
eCzar' Reed and the Administration
Pressing Action.

Washington, May 6.-During the debate
by the house committee upon the annexa-
ton of Hawaii, Chairman Hit made a
fOrcible presentation to the committee OF
the reasons for favorable action at this
time, in view of the necessities existing
for the use of the islands in our war OPP
erations. 80
Representative William A. Smith of
Michigan member of the subcommittee,
presented a number of substantial reasons
for prompt action, character1z1ng the past
policy of the government regarding ISL
and ownership in the West Indies and In
the Pacific near the isthmus as short
sighted and unwise." He urged immedi-
ate action and advocated a prompt ana
favorable report.
Representative Clark of Missouri, Dem
ocrat, suggested that there were many
difficulties involved in the annexation of
the islands and deprecated what he as
serted to be a departure from our MIS-
torical position regarding territorial own
ership outside the continent.
Representative Newlands urged many
advantages to be gained by ownership of
the islands in the Pacific
lima, Berry of Kentucky, Adams of Penn
syvania, Howard of Georgia and Dins-
more of Arkansas took the principal part
in the discussion, but the meeting finally
adjourned without taking a vote, deferring
action for q more full consideration next
Tuesday. 1t is understood that if there
should be a favorable report from the
committee in favor of annexation of Ha-
wall, that the speaker will not interpose
any objection. 1t is also stated that the
administration is pressing early action.
