EAGLE AND LOBSTER.
Rider HaGaard's Brother Tells of n
Most Remarkable Battle.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Lieut.. Col. Andrew c. P. Haggard. an
elder brother of Rider Haggard. the novel
list, recently returned from a trip to New
foundland and tells of a remarkable sight
he saw while sitting on the seashore wiki
a guide with whom he had been hshing
for salmon in the Terra. Nova river. They
had been watching fer some time the eNo-
buttons of a white-headed eagle. called by
the Newfoundlanders a grip" After soar
ing round in several circles above and In
front of them the eagle suddenly dashed
down into a pool of water near them on
the beach, and reappeared holding an
enormous lobster in his talons.
1t was an old lobster. with huge claw,
white with barnacles. The eagle had him
clutched firmly around the back. and at
first the huge claw hung helplcssly down,
the barnacles shining white in the sunlight.
This was only for a second, though. The
ripples on the recently disturbed pool had
not yet died away when the captive lobster
suddenly aWoka TO the seriousness OF tne
situation. and to think was to act. Up
moved the great white barnacled claw until
it seized the eagle round the neck. There
was a furious fiuttering and beating OF the
eagles wings, mela1 choly squaWk from
his choking throat and then, tumbing and
rolling head over heels in the air in a con
fused mass, down came eagle and lobster
again splash back into the pool.
The two spectators of the scene rushed
forward. thinking that they could perhaps
in some way secure both combatants. for
the splashng of the conflict continued in
the shallow water. But they had hardly
time to pick up a stone apiece to throw at
the eagle before the lobster, feeling himself
at home again, let go his hold. With his
neck all torn and devoid of feathers away
flew the bedraggled eagle, in most mean-
choly guiSe, to a neighbOring cliff. while the
lobster, to give Col Haggards own words
still braEdishing his enormous claw in
defiance, remained smiling at the bottom OF
the pool"

IMPROPERLY ADDRESSED.
Many Letters Mt Manila That Are In
deliverable.

Postma ster General Smith has again call
ed the attention Of the public and post
masters to the following order:
THE director of posts at Manila, Philip
pine Islands, reports that large numbers Of
letters addressed to soldiers and sailors at
that office are unbelievable through the
failure of the sender to place on the en-
velope the name of the company and regi
ment, or other organization, to which the
addressee belongs.
"Postmasters are directed to inform their
patrons of this fact, either personally,
through the press, or in any other feasible
way that can be done without expense to
the department, and, that all mail matter
addressed to persons connected with the
United States service in the Philippine Is
lands must, to insure delivery, not only
bear the name of the addressee. but the
full designation of the particular branch of
the service to which he belongs, namely
If to a soldier, it must bear the name of
his company and regiment; If to a sailor
the name of his vessel, and If in any other
branch Of the public service, the designa-
ton of that branch.

ORDWAY, Md, October 27-Practically
every expert rifle shot residing at the ma
uonal capital is at Ordway today striving
for prizes offered in connection with the
annual rife competitions of the District
of Columbia National Guard and the Ma
uonal Rife Association. The attendance
of men in the garb of soldiers is as large
as was the case yesterday. The program
OF the day is most attractive, the matches
open being The Evening Star match, the
Washington match, the R. Harris G. Co
trophy match, the May match and the
senatorial trophy match. The number of
entries in each is unprecedentedly large.
The weather conditions are all that could
be desired and high scores are the rule.
All in all, the second day of the meeting
may be declared even more successful than
was the opening day

merely as decoration or be sewn I'D into

to take the place of jetted and spangled
trimmings this winter. 1 have seen tooues

bird, the under side of it's wings dyed pale

chenille braid is used as a trimming for
the nigh. straight crown, which is banded
alternately with white chenille braid and
rouleaux of the velvet (sx bands of each),

rouleaux and braid being placed in the

the crown by simili brooch, complete the
