QUALIFYING FOR MARKsMEN.

Wednesday marked the beginning OF
the new year for rifle practice by the
National Huard. The guard Is Supposed
to have finished their work by Oct. ID.
In some cases this has not been possible
since some members OF the companies nave
been unable to get aw ay from their work
to go on the range and take part In the
qualification shoots. In the case OF these
companies it is probable that an extern
sion of time viii be asked that they may
complete their work, and there is slight
question that Adjutant General Richards
VIII comply with the request.
This is really the first year that the
present method OF holding qualification
shoots has, been In use. Before that time
the companies had all the season to
qualify. There was a feeling by the offi-
Ger of some of the companies that ques-
neutrality-suspicious. of qualification were
used. Whether or not this is the case ID
a question. but in order to cause repeti-
ton of such hints the present method has
been adopted. Two days are al
lowed in which each company shall quail
fy under the direction of a nonoommis-
stoned officer from some other company.
The results obtained by this method
are most satisfactory. When the men be-
gan work there the companies were just
recovering from the effects OF the disor-
ganization caused by the Spanish war
and although Maine recovered more
quickly and her militia is In better CON-
dition than that OF almost any other
state. there are many men who never
handled rifle before the present fife
practice season opened. IL might have
been expected, therefore, that the scores
would be low and few men would qualify
as marksmen. This does not seem to be

sHIpBuILpINa IN GERMANY.

Washington, November s.-Shipbuild-
ing in Germany has become a great in
dustry in the last decade, and according
to communication from United States
Consul Winter at Annerb, to the Depart
ment--of State, the present capacity OF all
the wharves does not meet the demn ndi
OF the German merchant marine. This
establishment now numbers 1900 steam
ers, and seemingly this number cannot
be increased in the empire proper as fast
as is desired. Many orders are being
placed in foreign countries, and for the
port Of Hamburg alone 81 ships are being
built In England. Old wharyes are be.
ing torn away and new ones of larger
proportion are taking their places. A
million dollar wharf at Stralsun is
planned, and many other new enterprises
give evidence of thu rapid growth of the
German marine.

ALIyELY RUNAWAY.

A lively runaway occurred on Bracket
street yesterday forenoon. II would
have been serious one, however, IL 1t
had not been for the GOODNESS OF Milton
b. Field. One Of the horses owned by
Hichborn Bros, the grocers, attached to
a light delivery wagon, became fright
ened near Walker street, and started down
Brackett street with the driver hanging
On to the tall board. The horse was go
ing too fast for the man to get in over
the back OF the wagon, and so he had to
let go when the team went over the
crosswalk at Pine street, and then the
b orse had 1t all his own way. He barely
clea red the teams standing between Pine
and Bradford streets, and continued his
mad dash on and down the street Mr..
Field. tn 9 sanitary contractor, was driv.
ing up the street in his team when he
discovered the runaway in time to drive
upon to he sidewalk. and as the run.
away passed him be jumped from his
ca rriage and grasped the runaway e
bride, bringing him to stop within
distance of ten feet. 1t was clever

NEW RANGE NEEDED.

The city is required by law TO provids
a suitable range for the national guard
Other cities have good ranges for the
use OF the national guardmen but Port
land has never had q range which could
be termed suitable for the purpose for
which IL ID used. The present range IL
dangerous. and cannot be improved.
Many narrow escapes have been reported
this season, and even with the greatest of
care an accident may sometime occur
there which win result seriously. The

al day, when some OF the national guards
men were using this range. rifle bali
went sailing over the hill, travelled over
half a mile, and plunged through the
window OF house which was In range.
The bullet struck the table, between a
man and his wife, who had just seated
themselves for dinner.
such things as this have occurred occa-
sionally, and have caused the city au-
thorities to take the subject seriously
under consideration.
The State Inspector of Rifle Practice
does not approve OF this range, and has
asked the city authorities to provide q
new one. This the city authorities and
the military men have been trying to do.
but cannot find a suitable location. What
will be done about this matter another
season remains TO be seen, but 1t will Ger.
tainly require some action before another
season Of rife practice begins here.

SHOT AN OWL.

Last night the people on Munjoy Hill
were startled by the report OF a gun, and
for short Tins all kids OF rumors were
floating about hat section of the city.
The shot was tired at an owl on North
strest. The bird had alighted on thu
branch of a tree, and an irrepressible
sportsman saw him and could not resist
the temptation to bring down the night
bird. This is the third owl which has
met death on North street within few
months. There ara many night birds in
that section, OF the city, who have not
wings, and on whom shot guns are not
generally used. and these have no reason
70 fear the above mentioned sportsman.
