A. 3. F, Kinney will give $25 to the
guns making the highest average in
events from to 10 inclusive. 1t will be
divided in six prizes, So, Sc, 81, SO, 50
and 50.
The feature of the tournament will
be 100 bird match race between
Charles E. Borehand Of this city and
q. G. Griffith of Pascoag, Rhode Island,
Undoubtedly the best gun in that state.
There has been an unusual amount of
interest in this match on account Of
the length of time taken to arrange It
A challenge firse came from Mr. Griffith
In which through some oversight, the
system of shooting was omitted. The
style which Mr.. Griffith named was
the system which will be shot, known
traps, unknown angles. Mr.. Forehand
accepted the challenge, and as no sys-
tenn OF shooting was named, he pro-
posed the expert system which is I'M
known traps, known angles.
Mr.. Griffith would not con
sent to this, but Mr.. Forehand did
everything he could to bring about
the match, He offered to shoot the
known traps, unknown angles, win or
lose the match at the expert system.
The offer was not accepted and it SEEM
ed as If the match would fall through.
But Mr.. Forehand agreed to shoot ac-
cordfng to the system which Mr.. Crit
fifth picked out and the match is on.
The last event on the card is a rs
bird race at regular angles in which
SIS is given by the club. No entrance
fee will be charged except the price of
targets. The purse offered by the club
will be divided, Sc, a. So, and ST.
Sweepstakes purse will be divided in
to 90. 80, 20 and 10 per cent.
A barge will leave the union station
after the arrival of the $50 O'Clock
train and all shooters will be trans
ported without cost. Dinner will be
served on the grounds.

THE DUST WHIRL.
1t Rolls Over the Prairles of Western
Kansas.

A correspondent speaks of a curious
dust whirl which he saw in Kansas
The whirlwlnd moved from the north
west to the southeast. It was in every
way similar to an ordinary whirlwind,
including the straight wind which ac-
companied it, except that, instead OF
one circular wind, five small whirl-
winds circled around common CEN
ire. They ran south along an eight
foot Usage orange hedge. Each eddy
was simply miniature whirlwind IN
form and velocity, whirling on its in
dividual axis, and also in the common
axis to the, right. They were about
fifteen feet high. They ran a few rods
and vanished. These whirls were an
doubtedly due In part to the presence
of the hedge, since similar whirls are
met with III the rear of every obstacle,
and IN part to the hot, dry surface of
the ground, since every mass of air that
is made hotter than its neighbor rises
and carries the lightest dust with it.
These dust whirlwinds are common in
India, especially during the dry sea-
son.
Sometimes a slowly moving whirI-
wind, instead of appearing as a SIM
pie column, is composed of several dis
tinct worthless, each one rotating on it's
axis as it revolves around In the whirl-
ing circle A fan-shaped train Of dust
Is attached to each separate vortex.
This remarkable sight is said to give
the idea OF fairy dance around a
ring, and the motions are exactly imi-
tated by the dancing dervishes of Tur-
key one of whose holy exercises is to
spin round and round like top, singly
or in company with others, and at the
same time gyrating around in general
circle.
Prof. r. w. Wood has initiated these
phenomena artificially, using fiat met
al plates about yard long and foot
wide, covered with sand. By heating
the plates the air above the sand be-
comes warmed, and produces mirage
effects, but, under the influence of
greater heat beautiful little whirlwinds
Of ascending hot air can be seen run
ming about the surface, and carrying
up the fine silica powder that is scat
tered upon the plate. When sal am
moniac is used instead of silica, dense
clouds Of white vapor quickly arise, and
perfect miniature tornado of dense
smoke, about two yards high, Is pre-
sented. This experiment shows exact
ly how eddies and whirls Of dust are
formed on the hot plains of Kansas.

EXTENSION OF TROLLEY.
Trip From Boston to New York Can Soon
Be Made.

There is an almost complete trolley con-
nection between the city Of New York
and the city of Boston, says a writer
In Ainslees Magazine. THE trip can be
made in 80 hours of constant riding. The
lines of the various companies which
make up the continuous journey meet
end to end and car to car. There are no
delays to speak of, for the cars Of the
various companies run every 15 20 or 80
minutes. Ftfty-four payments of five

must be augmented by $1.16 In railroad
fares, unless the shorter gaps in the trip
are traversed Nop foot, Lastly there are
country hotels IN the small towns which
provide lodging for night at such rea-
sonable rates that the Journey can be
made leisurely and yet inexpensively, and
the hotel outlay remains within tho limit

HE KNEW THE GAME.
But His Bluff About Having Weak
Weak Eyes Failed to Work.

weak Eyes Failed to Work.
At the stockyards it is the custom for
a crowd of cattle buyers to beguile
the evening hours with a game of polk
er. A few days ago new
clerk came to work in that
region and the poker devotees
resolved to introduce the new man, who
was an obese, innocent-looking Ger
man, into the mysteries Of poker. Incl
dentally they thought it would be
pleasant to relieve him of little sur
plus cash.
The Teuton readily assented to "a
game and after they had played for
a time complained of weak eyes The
light hurt them, he said. and pulling
out a handkerchief, he wiped them
tenderly. He began to win and soon
was far "ahead of the game" All
this time he had maintained his com
plants of the light and man
ipulated his handkerchief. One
of the heaviest losers began
to be suspicious about that
handkerchief. Watching his oppor-
tunity, he snatched 1t away, and three
aces fell out on the fioor.-Chicago

How to Acquire a Graceful Walk J

A woman should walk from the
hips, the waist being held stationary
save for gentle, willowly, swaying
motion, which is so charming an at
tribute of a well-poised feminine
figure.
One of the very best methods of
acquiring this smooth, elastic gait is
to practice walking every day with
something on the head. The graceful
quadron of the South can easily carry
pailful of water on her head, because
she walks from her hips and not from
her waist.
When stepping, the foot should be
placed so that the heel touches the
ground at almost the same instant as
the toe, and always in a line with it,
being careful to allow the weight of
the body to fall upon the ball of the
foot.-From Health and Beauty" in

IMPROVED CRAFTSMANSHIP.

The statement from Manila that the
significant one, taken in connection with
the recent capture of a Spanish ~filibuster-
ing steamer that was evidently engaged
in the work of encouraging the insur-
gents. These natives have not only visi-
bly, improved as marksmen of late, but
they wear better clothes, are apparently
better fed and fewer of them are without
arms. All this goes to show that help is
being received from outside sources.
There is little doubt that Japan, Ger
many and Spain nave rendered direct or
, indirect aid to A~guinaido and his follow
ers, and thai able tacticians are behind
the scenes training the insurgents in the
art of war. On the face of things, non
of these governments would become privy
to the war in the Philippines, but enough
evidence is already in hand to indicate
the trend OF their sympathies and the
flibusters and blockade runners from
landing supplies for the enemy.
Insofar as Spain is concerned, it is
merely a matter of chickens coming home
! to roost. Nevertheless, we are confronted
by a condition not q theory-as Cleveland
might put it-and it should be promptly
met. Spain's u2liness is natural, that OF
Germany is understood, while Japan has
an eye to the future that makes her jeal-
Gus of American holdings in the south
Pacific. When the wan is over a few ma
tional apologies will be in order.

FREE

In this country we are apt to thank God
quite profusely for the fact that we are
living in a country where free speech Is
allowed. But while these devotions are
going up to- the great white throne, they
are hanging men down south for saying
things that the mob does not like; and
over in ~England-the mother country
from which our oppressed forefathers fled
they are appIauding utterances that
would lead to a gun play in America.
The 300th anniversary of the birth of
Oliver Cromwell was celebrated in Lou-
don yesterday, and the famous divine, DR..
Joseph Parker, attacked the Prince of

ing his future king in a manner that was
hardly to the queens taste, DR.. Parker

and hope. Millions of men will today
pay tribute to the shrine of Love.

The third link in the chain of Odd
Fellowship is Truth. In this virtue lies
the strength of manhood, the moral
courage of the truly brave. Honesty OF
expression, confidence in ones
and courage of purpose are wrappe
within the i~nteguments of MS great
virtue. 1t was an ancient la of God
who once said within his own heart that
all men are liars, and in the ~rough-and-
tumble of life this mistake forces itself
too often upon the bleeding souls Of the
disappointed.
SO great is the Difference paid to the
virtue of Truth that no adage hnds
deeper Judgement in the heart than that
which says that an honest man is the
noblest work of God. 1t cannot be said
this virtue is a rare one, for down in the
human heart the instinct for honesty OF
EXPRESSION rests like a powerful engine
upon the drive wheels of life. Modern
civilizations, with it's fads and %fancies,
with it's shams and shallow s~ubterfuges,
cultivates a disregard for the rugged
virtue of Truth. The struggle for the al
mighty dollar too often buries Truth in
the turbulent waves of the restless sea
of doubt. No man intends to eliminate
Truth from his soul, and his heart would
fill with horror were he to feel that virtue
lost. But too often the sentiment is
~strangled to serve a purpose and shape
an end in view.
Odd Fellowship would revive within the
mind of man a higher appreciation of
the virtue of Truth, make it the example
rather thar the incident of life, and build
up human character upon a foundation
of integrity and candor. Today the rep
resentatives of that splendid brotherhood,
all over the land, do honor to the i'm
mutable qualities of Truth.
