A FEW SNAP SHOTS.

Funny. isn't it to see a man "burning his money" when it is as scarce as it is. There is scarce ly any way to estimate the amount that has "gone up in smoke" at the travelling shooting gallery that opened up few days ago in the Shoecraft brick. It is amusing to see how easy it is to "burgF' it. The sport and local crack Shot (every one believes himself to be the crack shot) walks in, and the shooting gallery man hands him loaded rife. He blazes away and in nine cases out of ten is beat by the s. G. man aud therefore pays for the shot 10 cents, 25cts, $1.00 etc, as the case may be and according to how big a sucker the $. G. man wants to make out of yhim. Along comes the next E'crack shoto and has his head rubbed in about the same manner, paying his cold cash for his few seconds of sport and so on does it go, day and night. The age of the jolly sports who foot the bills" vary from the young boy to the old man. I do not blame the s. G. man, he has struck a rich Klondike in Brink ley and is working his mine to the Queens taste. "He's on to his job, an energetic agreeable fellow and if the present number of suckers hold out he will be worth several hundred dollars more when he gets ready to seek greener fields, than when he struck town.

 City politics are becoming warmer and warmer. The Demo- crats are ready and waiting for the Republicans to make the move spoken sof nnder this head last week, i. 6. nominating straight Republican ticket. If they put out a Ticket composed only of our best citizens and a platform that has the best interests of the city as its main plank, they will give the Democrats a s.red hot chase" It's a good move and we sincerely hope that the leading men of both parties who are interested iE the growth and future welfare of Brinkley. will push it along and thus obliterate the dirty personal strife that has disgraced our city at elections in the past.

Accompanying Mr.. Raymonds letter was
a communication from the sisters of the
House of the Good Shepherd, dated De-
cember 10, and written in response TO the
inquiry he made. 1t is as follows:
Your esteemed favor Of November %
was duly received, but an unusual amount
of hurried work prevented an earlier reply,
We wish to assure you OF our sincere graf
itude for the kind interest you manifest in
the welfare of this institution, and beg a
continuance of the same.
IN looking over the report of the superin-
tendent of charities We were surprised to
see how grossly he has misrepresented our
work in his statement of it to the honorable
board of Commissioners.
He states that 30 per cent of the inmates
discharged from this institution leave vol
House of the Good Shepherd in this city.
August 16, 1883, to the present date oil IN
mates have been received OF this number
eighty-seven left voluntarily. These were
all women and girls over twenty-one years
of age and unless they SO desired would
not have remained under the restraining
control of this any other institution.
They had been under our care for a longer
or shorter time, and were competent to
earn an honest livelihood. Many of them
are doing So and visit us frequently. Two
hundred and f1fty-three were returned to
their parents, relatives or guardians. Be
Sides we have provided homes for quite a
number not including those above men,
toned and we cannot understand how the
superintendent of charities could make such
a mistake. His report also states that we
could not give the names Of inmates and
the addresses of persons from whom they
were received without violating the oath
and rules of our order. The word oath was
never mentioned to us by him. nor do we
take any.

PRESIDENT soDts MD TEE LEAGUE
Preparations for the Coming Foot
Ball Game.
THE NATIONAL REG GATTA

President Soden of the Boston club is
quoted as follows in a special from that
city on the eight-club idea for the National
League: Il believe that the National
League will begin next season with twelve
clubs as at present. All this talk about
certain gentlemen of the league meeting
together and making plans for the future
is simply pipe dream. Messrs. Brush,
Robson and Freedman have been here at
various times. but we have had no talk
connected with the severance of the twelve
club league. If We wanted to reduce the
circuit we would work to locate the Balti-
more team in New York rather than in
Brooklyn. While think Greater New York
can support two clubs, | think it far better
that it should be represented by one club
in an eght-club race, because with two
clubs there would be a clash of dates, and
the public would lean toward the club that
maintained the higher position in the
league race. 1 think the Baltimore-Brook
lyn move a good one for both sides, but
it may not be consummated so readily as
it seems. Mr.. Abell has advanced great
deal of money to the Brooklyn club, and
some arrangement must be made to settle
his account. / take it that only certain
number of the Baltimore players will DE

INDUCES IN CRITICISM.
A Citizen Lodges Complaint Against
Superintendent Of ChnritX

A paper was filed with District Commits
sioner Ross yesterday by Mr.. A. NJ. Ray
mond, calling in question the correctness of
certain statements i'll a recent report of the
superintendent of charities. 1t was, in part.
as follows:
I'm filing this protest, permit me to say
that the representations ma ie by Superin-
tendent of Charities Lewis in his report. to
the effect that 80 per cent of the inmates
of the House of the Good Shepherd left
there without any arrangements being
made for their employment, and that the
superioress had told him on the occa sion of
personal interview that she would violate
the oath of her order by giving him the
true names of inmates, seemed even to me
a Methodist, unreasonable and inconsistent.
L inquired into the matter and in reply re-
ceived from the sisters of that institution a
letter of explana ton. Because she refused to
give him the true names of inmates he in
Inmates that the operations of the House of
the Good Shepherd are yelled in mystery
and that there is sinister motive in with
holding them from him.
Now, gentlemen, if you will be kind
enough TO think of any family as having
an offspring of downward tendencies and

which the publicity of it would bring upon

De secluded from the gaze of the curious

path of virtue with that hope and courag ge
that springs from the thought that but few
know of their fall. | cannot believe, that
any member of the board or any other fair
minded person would be so cruel and I'M
generous as to imagine that persons whose
hves are devoted TO such noble purpose
without the hope of cOmpens sa tion ar ra
ward in this life, would Steep their souls
in sin by perpetrating the abuses to which
superintendent Lewis SO shamefully al
ludes.
The dlvulgence of names of inmates in
such an institution could benefit no one
but many lives might be biighted forever
on account of it, and many homes would
be wantonly desecrated through it Mr.
Lewis understands very well that the SUD-
preston of the true names of inmates is
one of the reformatory principles under
which such an Institution must necessarily
operate to be successful but he uses this
as complaint for the want of a better
excuse to justify his reflections upon those
whom he would have the public believe
have made an improper of the pitiful
aid that they have received from the gov
ernment. If he is not guilty of abuse In

Securing the Aquatic Attraction.
After several attempts to secure the
championship regatta of the National AS
sociation of Amateur Oarsmen the Boston
people are about to be successful. The an
nouncement that they will get it is made
by Secretary Frank Fortmeyer Philadel-
phia is not after the big event. 1t has
had it for several years, and the Quakers
now think that the races should be held
elsewhere next year.
The southern clubs, however are still
in favor of holding the regatta at Phila-
dephia, claiming that the Schuyllill course
is the finest in the country.
Boston has the good will of all the
clubs in the middle and eastern states.
and probably those of the west will fall
into line for the hub at the given moment.
Meanwhile the Boston people are working
hard as to be sure of winning at the
annual meeting of the national associa-
ton. This meeting will be held in New
York on January Is.

to get the regatta, they have ever been
