The next. ten minutes he shoots balls

in every conceivable position, and fin
ishes his fancy. shot by shooting balls
thrown into the air with his gun up
side down on the top -of his head.
Then he performs the most extraor-
binary feat of shooting, hitting six
balls, all thrown into the ARA the
same. time, throwing three himself
and his assistant three, and hitting
them all before they reach the ground
:. much to the delight Of the audience.
He shot for one hour yesterday in
the rain, and fired more than 1000
shots. When he had laid down his gun
he drew a long breath and sent for his
shooting horse, Dock. Mounted on
his favorite equine, he performed still
more wonderful feats. shooting from
one to six targets while passing the
grand stand turning in the saddle and
breaking the last two behind him,
while his horse was running at full
speed. His assistant, mounted on
horseback, and riding at full speed,
threw balls into the air and came by
the grand stand like whirlwind, Car
yer shooting ball at every jump.
One Of the prettiest things in his
long and interesting program was his
fne horsemanship. He is q perfect
rider, and his horseback shooting is
wild and realistic picture of marks
manship on the plains, where he shot
at Indians and buffalo instead Of glass
balls. AT the conclusion of his horse
hack shooting, he rode up In front Of
the grand stand and his intillegent
horse bowed his acknowledgements to
the audience, then quietly turned and
with his head pushed the doctor from
the field.
Those who saw the performance de-
clare that they cannot say to much Of
DR.. Carver's exhibition and recon-
mend that every one go to see him.

ance shot of the world, DIR. Carver is
also the champion live bird shot of
America, this last title having been
won January "a of this year. No one
has SO far had the temerity to tackle
his endurance championship, which
was won by breaking 10000 glass and
wood balls in New Haven, Conn, and
Minneapolis in twelve days. To ac-
complish this he had to break seven
balls minute and he broke SO out OF
every 100 all the way through. He
won his title of champion pigeon shot
in London against IA Of the best shots
in the world. In addition to his cham

shooting picture ever looked upon by
human eyes? Not one. e.person in the
audience believed the shot could be
made, still it was done by the wizard
as quickly as two flashes Of lightning.
From the double shot at the flying
brick he continued and shot the small
broken pieces until his assistant threw
up piece not as large as the end of a
lead pencil, a quiet ripple of excite
ment passed through the audience as
the doctor did not shoot, and many re-
marks were made on the possibility Of
hitting SO small an object. It was
thrown again. This--tim ..little red
spot OF dust marked the spot, for the
bullet struck it fairly in the center.
And next on the program was bas-
ket full of yellow apples about the
size OF glass balls. Here was another
surprise for the audience, and one
that caused much pleasure. A bright
yellow apple was thrown into the air.
There were two reports, one from the
gun and one from the apple. The
apple exploded and turned into a
shower Of cider and particles Of mist.
The next few minutes was given to
apple shooting, and out of 100 thrown
all came down in cider.
Then came the wooden balls. The
doctor shot them low down and high
in the air, and made double shot ON
a single ball that brought down the
house. Then he had his assistant
stand directly in front of him and
throw balls at his head. They were
incomers and hard ones at that.
Everyone knows, who has ever ham
died gun that this is a hard shot still
the doctor hit them all. There Is no
question about the danger connected
with this shot. The assistant said
after the performance, that on several
occasions he had neglected to lower
his head, and the whistle of bullets
had been pleasant reminder Of his
carelessness. On one occasion the
bullet left black mark on his ear,
and he declared that upon several oc-
casions he could smell the grease on

nose,
Then the doctor shot balls thrown
straight away, and then threw them
himself and actually made cross-shots
the hardest shot that can be made
with bullets. Single and double shots
were then made, Then he shot small
marbles thrown into the air, and cut
holes through coins, from dollar pieces
down to quarters. Several people in
the audience got some splendid SOU
venirs of his skill. He then called
the special attention of his audience to
the orange shooting. Two dozen
oranges were thrown into the air,
twenty Of them entirely disappeared,
leaving only mist in the air. Oranges
wrapped In paper, and lots of 1t, too,
were thrown up, and when the rifle
cracked, the orange disappeared while

says it explodes. At any rate, when

FOR HANNA'S CONTEMPLATION.

Mr. Hanna's statement that there are
no trusts" is bubble. The presen,
use of the word may not be strictly &C.
curate, but it is generally understood the
word is employed to designate comblna
tons of capital for the purpose of mon.
opolizlng trade.
There are many monopol!es of this
kind, and many are made effective by
Republican legislation. For exampl >.
Mr. Hanna's own specially Is iron. Mon.
opoly in almost every branch of the iron
business is made possible by Republican
tariff legislation, because foreign compe.
titlon Is prevented.
This monopoly raises the price of
every girder that goes into building, of
every nail that goes into farmers barn
or home. of every plotghshare. of every
reaper, OF every binder. of every harrow.
of every hoe. of every horseshoe. of
every rail for the railroads on which
farm products are transported to market,
of every bit of wire for fencing, or every
sewing machine, of every tool used by a
mechanic. The cost of living and doing
business is thus enormously increased.
The tariff also makes effective the
combinations which produce woollen
and cotton cloths and clothes. and thus
the price is raised of every hat, OF every
coat, every dress and every blanket
bought by the consumer.
Thus also every pane of glass, everv
tumbler, cup. plate and bottle costs
more by reason of tariff bred trusts.
Hundreds OF articles might be added
10 the list the cost of which increased
SO much by the Dlngley tariff that the
profits of the accumulated and combined
capital which is invested in their pre-.
duction are unwholesome and op.
pressive.
The next time Mr. Hanna says that
there are no trusts some one in the audi
ence should ask him:
l. In how many combinations he is
interested to which the Dingley tariff
gives a monopoly of the domestic
market.
2. How much greater is the annual
dividend OF the combination th IN the
annual dividend OF the former corpor
atoms now comprising the Comblnationl
New York World.
