A Special Invitation

Is extended to every lady in this city
to call at 2121 Fourth avenue, and in
spect the splendid work being done
by the scholars in the Diamond
Garment Cutter school" The mau-
ayers wish us to say to the public
that they only have room for few
more students. "First come, first
served" An investigation will con-
vince those who are in favor of "prac-
teal education" that this is the
chance of lifetime. Parents, if you
want your daughters educated in q
useful art of cutting and fitting any
kind of garments worn, our advice to
you IS consult the managers of the
above named school ere it is to late.
We point few words of commenda-
tion from those who have taken at
vantage of the instructions.

SHOOTING IN SCOTLAND.
An Immense sum Expended Annual

An Immense sum Expended Annual
ly In This Form of Sport.
AS to the sums spent on shooting
in Scotland, so large is the total that
It is a difficult matter to arrive even
at an approximate estimate. In Perth
shire alone there are 465 shootings, OF
which about four-fifths are let to ten
ants and bring in about 100000 a
year, or an average of f4O0 year,
which seems about a fair estimate il
1t be borne in mind that this is an ex-
pensive country and that 90 of its best
shootings bring 5000. or an average
of f7OO a year. In the whole of Scot
land there are about 1000 shootings,
and as each of them must at least en-
ploy one keeper and one gillie during
the shooting season some estimate
may be formed of the money expended
In wages and the number of people
employed.
In the deer forests and on the larger
shootings there will often be from four
to six men permanently engaged and
from six to eight others working for
the shooting season only. In well
known forest where l once spent many
pleasant days there were three for
esters, three gillies and three pony men
out each day. On the grouse ground
there were three keepers, with three
underkeepers, kennel man and two
carriers going to and from the nearest
railway station, q total of IS men and
five horses, not to mention the ponies
kept for riding into the forest and
those kept TO carry grouse panniers.
On this property three rifles could stalk
each day, while three other parties Of
two each could shoot grouse, or the
six could combine for driving.-Cham-

IRoNcLAo FEVER.
A Peculiar Disease That Was Killed
by Ventilation.

In the fight between the Monitor and
Merrimac 1t was found that there was
not sufficient air in the turreted steam
er for the crew and that the suffoeating
gases generated by the explosion OF
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered 1t practically impossible for
the men 10 work Necessity therefore
compelled the Introduction of some ap-
paratus for artificial ventilation
The old methods in vogue for hun
dreds of years had been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
the striking exhibition OF direct inter-
ference with lighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In the Monitor was placed a rotary
blower, worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half of the steam
er through a system of pipes and
forced into the other. Various changes
were made in later ironclads of this
period. In some the air was drawn
down the turrets and forced through
out the vessel, thus rendering them
more than ever liable TO suffocate the
men below in battle, while in others the
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through the
turrets.
1t was in the early ironclads that
peculiar disease developed which, be-
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated ironclad fever. In this af-
lection the initial symptoms were
much like those OF typhus, but In a
short time severe occipital pain was
followed nv cOmOlete AMMONIA and this
by coma and death. The introduction
OF ventilating appliances caused the
disappearance of this singular disease,
and in time these metal boxes, almost
entirely submerged, came to be regard
ed as probably the most salubrious YES

Carl schurz.

A letter from Hon. Carl Schurz in
Hearst's Chicago American announc-
ing his intention to support Col.
Bryan for president is Of great i'm
portance just at this time. Since the
Kansas City convention many of the
German-Americans who supported
Mckinley four years ago have been
hesitating as TO which ticket they
would vote this year. While thsy
disagree with Mr.. Bryan on the
money question, they are in favor of
his policy on ali other issues before
the people, and they are bitterly OPP
posed to the policy of the republican
party on every question except that
of the currency. Under these cir
cumstances it is natural that they
should show some hesitation in ex-
pressing themselves. but this letter
of Mr.. Schurz not only indicates the
position that will be tafen by the
large group of influential Germans to
which he belongs. but it will also
have an immense influence upon the
minds of the Gsrman-Americans in
every state in the union.
Mr.. Schurz is q man upon whom
the wiles of Hanna will produce no
effect. He has never been bound by
party ties to any political organize
ton. and his name is synonym for
frsnkness, sincerity and honesty of
purpose. This letter will have an
immense influence upon the indepen-
dent voters Of the country without re-
gard to their nationality

The alleged plot to kill President
Mckinley has turned public attention
to the possibilities of the law govern
ing the presidential succession. Were
MIR. Mckinley to die. Secretary John
Hay would be president. and yet in a
republican convention Mr.. Hay could
not get a dozen delegates for even
vice president. 1t would be an odd
condition for n nou-voter to be presi-
dent of the United States. Mr.. HAY
cannot vote, for he is resident of
the District Of Columbia. He is best
described as man with an office.
