The difficulties of reporting fully
great football event like that of last
Saturday for immediate publication in
an afternoon paper are possibly not
fully appreciated by the uninitiated.
The correspondent ON the field has TO

players who take part in the particu-
lar play TO be recorded, reckon how
many yards have been gained or lost.
be able to tell in whose possession the
ball is at any--given instant, and how
many yards il is from the nearest goal.
Next, he must write a coherent de-
scription of the play, bearing all these
points in mind, and turn il over TO
the telegraph operator.
The latter, with his hand probably
half frozen by long exposure Co the
cold, tansmits his STUFF to the local
office. There it is recorded by tho re.
ceiving operator, and hastily turned
over TO the newspaper copy reader,
whose duty it is TO see that all errors
of grammar, spelling, punctuation and
general coherency are corrected, and
Co prepare the copy for the compost
tors, at the same time sub heads, Co
call attention to particular features.
The compositors have to "set up the
matter as if their lives deponded ON
their expedition, and it is the business
of the foreman TO see that all "mat.
ter" thus set up is arranged in proper
order on the galleys. Next, n proof
of the galleys is taken, which is sub
mitted TO the copy reader for correc-
tion, and finally the make up'' man
tranfers the type to the form" or
"chase," ready for the clock up'
when the whole story has been com
pleted. Then there is the additional
matter of locking up and press work
to be considered.
1t is inevitable, under the circum-
stances, that certain eXcusable errors
should be made by the reporter on the
field as to the identity of certain play
ers who are particularly TO be men
toned in a particular play, especially
on the side of that team with whose
members he is unfamiliar. IL Is Of
primary importance, however, that the
"story' should read consecutively and
consistently. Every gain or loss Of
ground should be accounted for, and
when the ball changes sides, an intel
ligible reason for such change should
be given. We wish to acknowledge
here our kind appreciation of the con
gratulations we have received from
our friends for our straig ight-forward
account of the Army-Navy game in
last Saturdays Capital. I"

A MIDNIGHT BLAZE.
A Printing Office, Barber Shop
And Cigar Store Demor-
alized-A Timely
Dis covery

Fire broke out shortly before IL
O'Clock last night in the building on
Conduit street owned by the Davis
heirs and occupied on the ground floor
by the barber shop of Angelo Gearci
and the tobacco store of Richard Wells
and on the second story the office of
the Maryland Gazette" edited by
p. Ellwood Porter.
1t is almost certain that the fire
originated from electric light wires
just above the door of the barber shop.
The fire was mostly between the floors
and was very difficult to reach. Most
of the damage was occasioned by the
water, but it was absolutely necessary
to prevent the spread of the flames.
The damage will reach about 81 900,
but it is fully covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered by w. b.
Brown, night operator in the office of
the Telephone Company next door, and
Mr.. Harry Blackburn, and an alarm
was hastily turned in. All the fire
companies responded promptly and the
building was put out of danger in
about an hour. In the meantime most
of the furniture of the barber shop
and the stock of the cigar store was
taken out and placed in the armory
across the street for safe keeping.
During the fire the smoke was in
tense and a number of the iremen
suffered severely from it. Mr.. George
Beall, of the Rescue Hose Company,
was overcome upon opening the door
of the Gazette office, and fell some
distance down the steps. Fortunately,
however, he was not injured. Mr.. z.
Il. Porter was also overcome. The
damage to the building probably will
reach 5000, which is fully carried by
the Boston Fire Insurance Company,
Julian Brewer, agent. That to the
printing supplies in the Gazette

Mr.. Geraci and furniture received in

Return of The Middies.

The members Of the midshipmen foot
ball team arrived in Annapolis last even
ing. They have received no serious
injury from the terrible drubbing at the
hands Of West Point on Saturday. There
is serious question if the game will be
played next year. The general feeling
among the officers is that it should not
unless eligibility rules prevail. The mid
shipmen, however, to a man want the
game continued and are full of expedients
to improve the team next season. They
believe that it is Annapolis bad year
and that the team will improve from now
on, particularly as there will soon be a
pick from 1000 midshipmen. The team
will lose three players next season by
graduation. These are Soule, captain
and right end; Halsey, full back; and
Oak. right guard.

The Spokane Amateur Athletic club
suffered defeat again at the hands of
the Brunswick bowlers last night on
the alleys of the club. The play was
watched by large crowd Of enthusi-
asts. The bowling was not on a par
with the work done at the first game
played on the Brunswick alleys. After
making a good average the first two
games last night the Brunswicks fell
all in heap and failed to make It
three straight for the night, The sud
den squirt of the athletes ratified their
opponents and as the S. A. A. c. rolled
up 1876. the highest score of the eve
ming, the Bruins icks slumped to 692.
In dhe first game the Brunswicks won
by a score Of 73l to 718 and they
also took the second by a safe margin,

of the evening, 173, was made by A.

French for cake walk. 1t is being

In the new creation each lady wears
a wrap of mousseline de sole, or
other fil1ny tissue, thrown round her
waist, and waves the free ends as
she dances. and the men attempt to
look as "Regence" as possible, and
use their closed crush hats as dan

their three-cornered ones.
Then dancers form In line, barndoor
dance fashion, and to a tune half
waltz and half gavotte, the room is
filled with graceful floating forms, to
which the black coats of the men
make an effective background. The
effect is a pleasing one and the dance,
when well done, is almost stately.

This Method Is

which has resulted from the orders
that no dueling pistols must be sold
in that country.

travel by the next train on the Man
churian railway from ZiZikar to Char
bin and back
If the duelist returns from this
journey safe and sound-that is to
say, if he survives the inevitable rail-
way accident caused by the derailing
of the train and returns without his
arms or legs broken, 1t is regarded
that honor is satisfied, and that the
duel has taken place.

Wine House That
Is Very Successful.

After more than two years of resi-
dence the Los Angeles Wine com
pany, under the management of
George w. Fox, has proved itself one
of the most successful wine houses
in the northwest, and its store at
713 Sprague avenue is one of the
busiest marts in the city.
Much Of the success Of the Los
Angeles Wine company is due to the
excellent of the goods supplied the
Spokane public. Originality is still
another reason for the success of the
company. Mr. Fox is the inventor
of the triangular shaped wine bottle
now having so large vogue in the
city, and which idea has been util-
lied by some of the firms competi-
tors. The latest idea of Mr.. Fox that
is proving a great winner with the
patrons of the house is his port wine
tonic, which includes all the in
gradients of first class spring tonic.
The tonic is put up in quart sizes in
unique little jugs.
