2OO-YAED RIFLE SHOOT
Results in Victory for the Scrub Team
From Central.

Results in n Victory for the Scrub Team
From Central.
For several weeks past there has been
quite an interest taken in a team shoot
that was to be held last Sunday on the
Black Hawk Rife Clubs range, as sew
eral young scrub shooters had agreed to
shoot against the professional Black
Hawk nine; and last Sunday the gun
house in Black Hawk was well filled
with spectators to watch the fun.
About six weeks ago w. w. Yaeger
came to town and opened an indoor rife
range, and soon had everyone interested.
He then picked such men who had been
shooting pretty fair and challenged, the
Black Hawk Rife club to match. They
accepted with the proviso that return
match was to be shot on their 2OO-yard
range, and as one Of them told a friend,
Don't bet on the Black Hawks on the
indoor shoot, but when it comes to the
200 yard shoot, just bet every cent you
can get hold Of on us, as we can't be
beat" But he, like the others, reckoned
without their host, for when the match
came, the scrub nine, most OF whom have
only been shooting for few weeks, not
only held them level, but defeated the
old-timers by eight points. 1t was n
splendid match, neither side being much
in the lead, and the best of friendly
rivalry prevailed. The Black Hawk boys
bought the oysters for a second time,
and they were relished, especially by the
Central team. The following are the
scores made:

MRS. WHITNEY BURIED
Solemn Funeral Services at the Gar
den City Cathedral.
I'M MENSE FLORAL DISPLAY.
Emhlems Sent by the Presto e nj, M e m =
bers of the Cabinet and Many
COngressmen-A Token From
Governor Roosevelt.

Garden City, N. Y. May 10.-The Ca
thedral of the Incarnation was crowded
at the funeral services over the remains
of Mrs. William c. Whitney, who died
Saturday. There was private service
at the home. in Wheatley Hills, only
members of the family being present
The body was conveyed to Garden City
in a rubber tired hearse, followed by so
coaches, and taken to the cathedral.
The black cloth casket was almost
completely covered with flowers, includ-
ing orchids, lilies of the valley and pan
sizes, arranged and held in place by bows
of purple ribbons. The casket on being
removed from the hearse, was carried
to the main entrance leading to the
middle aisle the pallbearers walking on
either side. A the entrance to the CELL
ter aisle the funeral procession was
formed, and the choir boys slowly moved
down toward the chancel, chanting
funeral hymn. The BODY was placed al
the foot of the chanccl, and the casket
was almost hidden from view by bank
of flowers.
The floral display was OF unusual ele
gance in design and construction, and
it required the services of eight florists
from New York in arranging it at the
house and in the cathedral The chan
eel was fairly banked with flowers. One
of the most beautiful designs came from
Cornelius Vanderbilt who learned of
Mrs. Whitneys death during his So
jOurn in Europe in cablegram from
his son-in-law, Harry Payne Whitney.
Token From MIR. Mckinley.
There were also floral emblems from
President Mckinley. from members of
the cabinet and from many United
States senator's and members of the
house of representatives. Governor
Roosevelt also sent handsome tribute
Conspicuous among the offerings of
love were several simple bouquets from
sewing girls in New York who had Of
ten been befriended by Mrs Whitney.
The relatives of Mrs. Whitney occu-
pied the forward pews. They included
Mr.. Whitney, Adelaide Randolph, the
young daughter of Mrs. Whitney; Mrs.
Fred May, Mrs. Whitneys mother;
Fred May, a brother; Mrs ]. Beaver
Webb and Mrs. William Wright, sisters
of Mrs. Whitney; Harry Payne Whit
ney and wife, Miss Dorothy Whitney
and Fl. w. Whitney, a brother of Mr..
Whitney.
The service comprised the full ritual
Of the Episcopal church, Bishop A. N.
Littlejohn officiating, assisted by Bish
op Doane Of Albany.
After the hymn, "Hark, Hank. My
Soul" had been sung by the choir the
burial service was read. Then followed
the anthem, Whose dweleth under the
defense Of the Most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty" by
George c. Martin. The choir also gave

| Instances of personal bravery have been
quite as numerous in the American ar
my in the Philippines as during the Gu
ban campaign, but the correspondents
have not had the same opportunity to
chronicle these deeds of daring in the
orient because Of the thickness of the
country penetrated. Many heroic acts
were also unheard of for days after
their occurrence.
One soldier who has we'll illustrated
the quality of the American is Captain

Clay. He brought new honor to the
family name in Cuba. where, during the
hottest action of the Santiago field.
when his men We're lying behind cover
for a shelter from a shower of bullets
he marched back and forth in front of
his company as erect and cool as though

the appeals of the men that he find

1.-The captain never forgot for a SEQ

explained.
When General Hale was assigned to a

Captain Clay to the position of adju-
tant. On the first day of MacArthurs

usual received a bullet through the

before he was discovered. and as the
wound was dangerous one at best his
life was despaired of. His only thought
when he was fought into the hospital
was that his family should be informed
that he WIS but slightly injured. He is
now however. well on the road to COM

false pretenscs, yet by the operation OF
the farce system of prohibition as now
conducted, dive keepers in some of our

it liquor. This tempts men to the agen-
cv to obtain little better quality, but
then comes in the criminal act. Hoyt's

1t is generally hoped here that the
conference which tolk place at the res
idence of Bishop Quisiey will have
tendency to bring about a settlement of
the difficulties which have caused such
strained relations to exist between the
grain shovelers and their employers and
an early solution of the matter.
At that conference all the parties con-
cerned were represented by committees,
each Of which placed its case before the
o hers in plain ard unmistakable terms
The conference lasted nearly six hours,
and during the discussion of the entire
trouble and its causes it became evident
that persons on both sides were dubious
as to whether the committees would
make a thorough and reliable report of
all that TRANSFERRED and what conces
cions, if any, would be made by those
whom they represented.
In order that no garbed or conflicting
reports OF the proceedings should be
handed in it was unanimously agreed
that Bishop Quigley be asked to prepare
report
The bishop accepted the responsibility
of doing this. and when seen he was
busily engaged in it's preparation. He
was very frank when asked if he were
going to make any suggestions or prop
ositions to the employers or striking
employees. He said he had no intention
Of doing so and would simply confine
himself to submitting a careful report
of everything that came before the con-
ference.
The right reverend gentleman said
that great many things had to be talk
en- into consideration, as injuries might
easily he done to either parties. but he
was more than hopeful that the whole
difficulty would soon be smoothed over

The Charleston Leaves HonEkohE.

Washington, May 10. - The navy de-
partment has received word from Ad-
miral Dewey that the Charleston has
left Hongkong The destination named
in the dispatch was Agarri. No such
place could be found by the officers in
the bureau of navigation, and after con-
sulting the maps of the Philippines 1t
was determined that Admiral Dewey
must have meant Apart, town on the
orthern end of the island of Luzon. NO
explanation was given for the sending
of a vessel to Apart as it is far renov-
ed from the scene of hOstilities and IS
not an important place.
Thu Charleston has been in dock at
Hongkong tor about ten days. She has
about 400 men on board, and ii is
thought improbable that the Charleston
would be sent on coast duty when
smaller vessels would be more effective.
APART is at the outlet of the Cagayan
river, which is navigable for some dis
lance toward the insurgent headquar-
ters, and it is thought not unlikely that
the Charleston has gone there to pre-
vent the transporta ton of arms and
supplies up the river to the Filipinos.

Albany, May 10.--The state civil serv-

by adopting rule that will prove quite
a radical change in state administrative
departments. The new rule demands a
certfication of all pay rolls to civil serv-
ice board five days before each monthly
pay day, and the comptroller can only
pay when such certification is Endorsed
by the board. This precludes employees
drawing any pay in advance. custom
that has been quite popular for years.
1t also forbids any persons being placed
on the rolls as laborers in order to evade
civil service.
