The Regular Monthly Shoots Of Va rtous Vereins and Otbor Rifle
 and Pistol Clubs.

If by some unforeseen accident the tar gets at Shell Mound had been suddenly changed into a row of Spaniards, or ln fact any other human beings, yesterday there would have been few funera1s lo follow The second monthly shoot of the Independent Rifemen, the San Franclsco Schuetzen Verein monthly medal shoot' the monthly medal and competition shoot of the German Schuetzen Club, the month ly bullseye shoot of the Norddeutsche Schuetzen Club and the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club all lined up to the points of position on the range, and the scores made by many proved that there are crack shots in the various organizations.
 From early in the day until late at night the crack of the rife and pistol could be heard and at the close Of the game there were many who regretted that .I must elapse before they meet to com, pete in their monthly exhibitions ana medal competitions. Athough the wlno was slightly high. it did not seem to interfere with the marksmen, and as the day was bright and clear the trouble so often experienced of having the targets shaded was not noticeable The scores follow:

"Confessing Christ"

Rev. H. T. Shepard of the Olivet Con- gregational Church at Seventeenth and Noe streets spoke on ''Confessing Christ" last evening before a large and inter ested congregation. In part he said: 'As the world grows older the thought of a heavenly power and a life hereafter seems to be deeper embedded in the minds of all liberty-loving and civilized human beings. The teachings of the AL mighty are given more thought, and as we wend our devious ways through life we silently think of religion and its teachings, and in time we are brought within the circle which Is purity Itself. for where the thoughts of God exist all must be pure. At some time we con- fess our belief for him who is our Savior and pass the remainder of our lives in rea ce D

SHARKEY TO "ACT."
The Pugilist Will Appear in "The
 Ensign" This Week.

Friedlander. Gottlob & Go. have con tracted with Tom Sharkey to appear at the California Theater tonight and dur ing the week as one of the sailor boys who fights the enemy on the steamer San Jacinto in the naval drama 'The Ensign" Sharkey will not alone have a thinking part. He has been given some round with William Baker, who defeated Stelzner. Sharkey was for some time master-at-arms on the Philadelphia and knows all about a war vessel. It Is said that Sharlkey contemplates adopting the stage as did Corbett and Fitzsimmons The sailor lad has had numerous offers to star. and he probably will do so after his debut in this city.
 Tonight he will appear in his regula- ton sailor costume, and he Is on the stage in every act.

THE SIGNAL CORPS.

Last Saturday, after the Signal Corps of the Second Brigade had concluded it's duty as escort to the Seventh Regiment of the National Guard, the meh under command of Captain Perkins returned to the armory. exchanged full dress for ser vice uniforms, and after lunch went out by the Point Lobos road to the ocean beach for a practice march. On the way out and return by way of the PreSidlo there were a number of company eY0iu- lions which were well executed. This corns. like other branches of the National Guard is annoyed by reason Of the Tact that it has not been called into service. The services have been offered to the War Department as well as to the National Guard authorities. The men say that in times like these their services should be specially in demand for the purpose of transmitting messages in those countries where telegraphic communicauons are not as plentiful as in the United States and that they are not only willing to go anywhere, but are anxious to go where they can do more than escort duty.
 Yesterday, by way of practice, several stations were established, one in this city, another at Alameda, another at Leo la Heights, another at San Lorenzo and still another at Halls, Alameda County. It was the purpose of the members Of the corps to signal the progress of the relay race to this city. The heliograph worked all right between the stations in Alameda County, and during the forenoon the Sar Francisco station was discovered and ar answer sent, but in the afternoon mist covered the bay and shut out the flashes Flag signaling between Leona Heights and Alameda was for the same reason out of the range of possibility. Between Leo no Heights and Halls the men had good practice

ANNUAL STATE SHOOT.

Those members of the guard who will not be taken into the States quota are somewhat anxious about the State shoot which. according to regulations, must be held this month. As near as can be made out, from the somewhat obscure regulations which have not yet been amended to make them comprehensive, this is the month for skirmish firing. The amended orders or regulations for firing was meeting of inspectors of rifle prac- tice for the purpose of discussing the matter some time ago. Nor has the order men are in doubt if they will have to shoot under the old regulations or under the amended ones, that is, if they are to be amended.

TROOP A. CAVALRY.

During the past two weeks the members of Troop A, Cavalry, Captain Burnett commanding. have been unusually active preparing themselves for the field in case there should be a call for them. The members are all active young men and they are anxious to go where they could engage in cavalry charges and distinguish themselves On drill nights there is a good attendance and since the enthusiasm inspired by the war has taken possession of them they have been paying a great deal of attention to tactics.

THE FIFTH REGIMENT.

When it became known that the First and the Seventh Infantry regiments had been selected for the securing of men for the two regiments of infantry of vol unteers and that the Fifth Infantry had been given the cold shoulder there was a great deal of dissatisfaction in the ranks and the feeling was quite strong III the several companies against Colonel D. D.
 Fairbanks, it being claimed that he had not been sufficiently active m the matter of securing recognition. It has since been made known to the companies that Col onel Fairbanks had, like Colonel John S.
 Mosby, offered his services to the. proper authorities and declaring that his com mand was ready to follow him. Like Mosby he rested his claim on his merit as a soldier and waited, but he was not called. Notwithstanding this explanation there is still a great deal of dissausfac- ton in the ranks, and there is talk m some of the companies of the members removing from the locality in which they now are in order to obtain discharge from the service of the State on account of removal. There is a possibility that matters will be smoothed over and that the men will not retire from the guard.

The Only Members or the Guard Remaining in
 San Francisco.
Sidnal Men Who Are Anxious to Do a Little More Than
 Escort Duty.
The Colonel of the Fifth Infantry Rested on Merits When He
 Offered His Services.

During the past week but little has oc- cupied the attention of those interested in National Guard matters outside Of the work of enrolling volunteers from the ranks of the two regiments, the First and Seventh, selected to fill part of the State s quota in response to the Presidents call for men to meet the land and naval forces of the Spanish Government.
 There is great satisfaction in the fact that the rejections for physical causes and other causes, principally in the F1rSt Regiment, did not exceed 22 per. cent. IT shows that considerable attention was paid to the admission of men in the ranks of the several companies of the regiment.
 The removal of men Of the First rom this city leaves it at this time without any National Guardsmen except the ca det company attached to the First, those members of the First who were not ac- cepted and are still members or the regl- ment Troop A, cavalry, and the Slgna Corps.
 What is to be done with those men Of the twelve companies who were not ac- cepted has not yet been determined, but 1t Is probable that the companies Will De recruited so that there will be another regiment of infantry in this city instead of skeleton companies. That, however, IS a matter which will not be attended 10 until the work of furnishing the State quota shall shave been disposed Of.

Life is built on Death, and side by
side with Joy walks Grief with equal
foot. Only the very needless or the
exceptionally fortunate can speak of
the pleasures of memory and not
sigh involuntarily at the bitter irony
OF the words. "Give US, oh! give
US but yesterday" is the cry of many
more than the prodigals who have
wasted their youth. It is the cry of
desolate love, of bereaved humanity,
OF the stricken, despairing heart
The shadow on the dial will not 90
back. The lonely feet must press
onward still.
