BULL'S-EYE TARGETS.
They Are to Replace the Silhouette
OIL National Guard Ranges.

At a meeting of the ordnance officers
of the three brigades the state inspec-
tor of rifle practice and one regimental
inspector of rifle practice from each
brigade, held in Harrisburg a few days
ago. 1t was decided to re-introduce the
bulls eye targets for rifle practice
during the coming year and to do away
with the silhouette target which has
been in use for two years past
The silhouette target consists of the
black outline of the side profile of II
kneeling man painted on a sheet of
steel. a shot striking any part Of the
figure counted five. The objection
to the target is that it tends to make
the men careless. Instead Of aiming
ut Il bulls eye and using every effort
to strike the centre, knowing that Il
higher mark could thus be obtained
the soldier aiming at IL silhouette tar
get aims in a random sort of way
at the whole figure.
Lieutenant l.. p. Carter, inspector Of
rife practice, Thirteenth regiment. who
represented the Third brigade at the
meeting above referred to. said yes
terday afternoon that the use of the
bulls eye target will undoubtedly i'm
prove the craftsmanship of the guard
The season for rifle practice on the
Dickson City range will open about
May l. he said.

KLINE WAS SURPRISE.
Couldn't Explain Presence of His
Receipts in Chicken Coop.

The chicken coop of Daniel Morgan,
who resides on Bellevue Heights, was
broken into few nights ago and sew
eral choice hens We're taken. Other
chicken coops in the Immediate neigh
borhood We're also broken into on the
same night.
A number of rent receipts showing
that Morris Kline. of $40 South WASH
ington avenue had paid his rent
promptly for Il number of months We're
found on the floor of the Morgan
chicken coop. This caused the finger
of suspicion to be pointed at Kline who
deals in chickens as side line, and he
was placed under arrest yesterday.
When arraiGned before Magistrate
Howe and asked to Explain how his
rent receipts could have found their
way into the Morgan chicken coop he
was so stricken with surprise that he
could hardly speak, His rent receipts
in the chicken coop? Why the thing
was amazing, astonishing. remarkable
beyond expression. The magistrate
thought so, too ana held Mr.. Kline
under $500 bail for court.

CAR LEFT RAILS.
Conductor Pitman and Several Pas
sengers Cut BY Glass.

South Side car No. 11O, in charge of
Motorman II. G.. Sontag and Conductor
A. j. Pitman, was going down the
Adams avenue hill underneath the
Lackawanna railroad bridge, about
noon yesterday when it ran over a bad
joint on the track and was thrown
clear off the rails.
The sudden jounce threw the handle
used by the motorman off and he was
unable to control the car which bounced
along the road for quite a distance and
then turned almost completely around
before it stopped. Conductor Pitman,
who was in the car, was thrown head
foremost through one of the windows
when the first jounce came, but es-
capped with slight cuts. The motorman
was thrown across the gates and almost
out of the car.
There We're five passengers on board
and all We're slightly cut by the glass
from the several windows which were
broken. John Blatter received two
deep cuts on the face, one over and one
Just underneath his left eye.

A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Italian Seeking His Son Added a
Most Unique Postscript Saying
That He Had Located Him.

A most remarkable letter was re-
ceived by superintendent of Police Day
Il few days ago from an Italian in New
York. He announced that he had q
son who left home some time ago and
whom he was very anxious to see. The
young man, he said. was probably To-
Gated in Scranton though he was not
sure as to his address. He asked the
assistance and cooperation of the
police in restoring the son to the loving
arms of his father.
Superintendent Day was iotting down
data preparatory to making AN in
Vestigation into the matter when he
happened to turn the letter over and
was astounded to see the following re-
markable postscript attached:
"P. S.-You need not look for my son.
Since writing the above | have received
Il letter from him. He is working in
Philadelphia and | expect to be able to
see him quite soon"
Il think said the superintendent
yesterday, that that is the most re-
markable example of absentmndedness
| ever came across
