The only twin expert rife shots in
the world are Misses Edith and Ethel
Long Of this city. Although only
twelve years of age these precocious
young girls can perform all the best
tricks of the most skillful adult pro-
~fessionals.
They shoot together at the most dir
ficult of targets and seldom miss.
Here are some of the feats they a
perform with ease: Shooting with
back to target by means of a mirror,
cutting of the stem of a clay pipe bit
by bit down to the bowl, knocking the
ashes off a cigar, lighting ordinary
parlor matches, cutting in two a visit
ing card placed with edge toward the
shooter, and blowing a furrow with
the bullet along the edge of the card.
The Misses Long are members Of
the Lafayette club, and despite their
youth are considered as being among
its best shots. Their extraordinary

is universal. No candidate for office
finds it necessary now to pose as a self
made man or to put his respectable an
cestors out of sight The self-made
man is no longer the popular hero. On
the contrary, noble ancestors are in
such demand that if we do not have
them we must invent them as we do
air-brakes or motors, or anything else
necessary to our well-being and com
fort. The rich American finds it as
easy to have a coat-of-arms and a ped
igree as to have a dress-coat. He sell

Mr.. Long has a genius for teaching

woman whose achievements with the
rifle have attracted such general at

be Annie Oakley's only rival for the
feminine premiership of the rifle
world.
Mr. Long is an engineer in the local
water works. He has never taken part
in any contest for money and only
shoots for the diversion of himself
and his friends. Discussing the skill
of his daughters and the methods of
training from which it resulted he
said:
'"They ought to be good shots if
there is anything in heredity, for they

DOWAGER EMPRESS DEAD.
Kaiser Williams Mother Passes Away at
CrOnberg.- Conscious TO the End.

Cronberg (By Cable ).-Vctoria Ade-
laide Maria Louisa, the Dowager En-
press Frederick OF Germany, died Mon
day evening at 6I5.
The death of the Dowager Empress was
somewhat sudden. AT 4 o'clock her ply
slcians reported no change in her condi-
ton.
Emperor William and Her Majesty's
other children we're in the sick room
most of the day
Her royal and Imperial Highness, the
Dowager Empress Frederick was the
widow of Emperor Frederick William ol
Germany and mother of the reigning
Kaiser William H. She was the eldest
daughter of Queen Victoria of England
and was born on November 81 I84o
She was christened Victoria Adelaide
She was eleven months and II days Older
than her brother, Albert Edward, now
King Edward VII of England Her
other living brothers and sisters are
Princess Helena of Schleswig- Holstein,
Princess Louise Duchess of Argyle /;
Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, and
Prince Beatrice, Duchess of Hesse.
Crown Prince Frederick became EN-
peror of Germany on the death of his
father in March, 1888, but he was then
slowly dying of cancer in the throat, and
he died on June IS, 1888, after a nominal
reign of three months, every moment OF
which was full OF agony both mental and
physical His Empress remained by his
side and devoted herself to alleviate his
suffering. AT his death she became the
Dowager Empress, and her son became
Emperor.
Empress Victoria Frederick was thu.
the daughter of Queen and Empress
the mother of an Emperor, the wife and
widow of an Emperor and the sister of
King and Emperor
The Empress, like her mother before
her, wished to have her condition pass as
far as possible without observation, but
she steadily lost strength with the prog
ress of her terrible malady The bad
news was kept back from week to week
as was done when Queen Victoria was

San Francisco (SpecaD The SmeH.
ing and Lead Company has been rob
bed OF $28o,ooo worth OF gold bullion.
he theft occurred some time Monday
night, the thieves tunneling from out
side the building under the vault at the
Selby works, which are located on the
pay shore about 30 miles from San
Francisco. They secured nearly $4,000
pounds OF fine gold, worth SEQ an ounce.
and escaped without leaving a trace Of
their identity
The robbery is the most successful
and remarkable ever accomplished on
the Pacific Coast, and was evidently the
work of skilled mechanics.
The whole affair was masterfully
planned and executed 1t is supposed
that when the robbers secured their loot
they loaded it into a boat that was wait
ing and disappeared in the fog that had
arisen over San Francisco bay. In their
haste to get away they left two gold
bars worth nearly $4,000 lying on the
bank at the waters edge.
The police at all the bay cities were
immediately notified OF the crime, but
all they could discover was few of the
tools that the robbers had used.
The Selby Smelling and Lead Com
pany is the largest concern OF its kind
on the Pacific Coast. Ores are sent
from all over the Western country to be
smelted and refined and the gold is then
turned over to the mint. A steamer
makes special trips between the smeltei
az. san Francisco, carrying the ores
one day and bringing back the refined
gold. Tuesday morning. when the
workmen entered the vault to prepare
the gold for loading on the steamer the
robbery was discovered. The thieves
had taken the precaution Of fastening
the door Of the vault from the inside, SC
that it would be difficult to open from
the outside in case they were interrupt
ed in their work
Preparatory engineering extending
over several weeks probably was done
before the robbery could be accomplish
ed. Close to the wall of the building
in which is the vault a shaft was sunk
below the foundation. Then tunnel
was run to the vault and holes were
bored in the iron floor until an apertur.
sufficiently large to admit a man wai
made. It was then easy work to pass
the treasure down into the tunnel and
load it into a boat
The robbers even took the precaution
to sprinkle red pepper in the tunnel in
order to make it uncomfortable for any
one who might attempt to pursue them

AMBROSE M'KAY's CASE.

Rockbridge, Mo-, June 24th:-The
neighborhood and particularly the
members of Rockbridge Lodge, No.
435, A. f. & A. NJ, are feeling very
much pleased over the recovery of Mr.
Ambrose Mckay, a prominent citizen
and an honored member of the Ma
sonic Fraternity.
Mr.. Mckay had been suffering for
years with Diabetes and rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were so filed with
pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then, someone suggested new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills-which
has been much advertised recently, as
cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used few
doses, he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him, and he is almost as
well as ever. He says Dodd's Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost. They are certainly getting a
great reputation in Missouri, and
many very startling cures are being
reported.
