SOrlE RE1ARkABLE
SHOOTING

John XahneI and Harry Billmcye
accompanied by Dr. Swelga and c.
f. Shull, did some remarkable shoot
ing this week Billmeyer was the
which will not be lowered for some
time to come. Yesterday he killed
eight pheasants with nine shots. The
first seven were brought down with
out a miss, two double shots being
made out of the seven. The feat had
never before been done III this section
Considering the environments the
work was nothing short of miraculous
for the hunter was surrounded by
thick under brush.
Dick Collins and G.. r. Shull direct
ed Billmeyer to the spot. They took
three dogs; Bob, the white pointer be
longing to Billmeyer, another pointer
belonging TO DR.. Sweigart and Mae,
the pretty pointer of c. +. Shull' 5
When "a trio of such capable hunting
dogs assist a marksman Of Billmeyer's :
Caliber there is always something do
ing. The dogs worked perfectly and
the hunter shot exceptionally well and
as a result % phessantS, four quail
and two rabbits were killed in less
than five hours. Mr. Billmeyer and
his friend returned to Wsshingtonville
this morning but it is Mr. Shulls
hope that they may return next year
and spend more time in this vicinity.

THE DETECTIVES
ARE AT SEA

The Clendenen murder Is as much OF
d mystery today as at any time since
the crime was committed. The detec-
tiyes admit that they are at sea ana
don't know which way to look for the
murderer. While they have several
olews winch they are working. there
is little certainty that any of them
will result III an arrest The detcc-
tives, however, are confident that they
will eventually capture the murderer.
The officials who are working on
the case pass nothing by, but lnvestl-
gate each rumOr and story with a dog
ged determination, which would seem
TO indicate that they propose to solve
this mystery and bring to justice the
perpetrator of this brutal murder if It
is possible to do so,
Mr.. Humphries, chief detective of
the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad Company detectives,
Is quoted as saying
Il am free TO admit that l have mt
the remotest idea who killed Clenden-
en-. We have satisfied ourselves that
the three men to whom suspicion
pointed are not and could not have
been guilty of the crime.
This is one of the hardest cases |
have encountered in all my exper.
ience, and l was never in my life
more anxious to win.
1T may be a long chase, but we Il
catch the murderer some day.

the capacity OF the theatre Side

Ways of Eating Lettuce

There has been an unwritten law
among epicurcs that lettuce should
never be cut with knife Indeed, II
should not be touched with a knife,
they say Now the common people
have heard this and It Is their habit TO
roll up a big leaf with a fork, sop
1t I'm the dressing and pack II In their
mouths as one used 10 wad n muzZle
loading gun with a bit Of newspaper
Once IN awhile you will see a dainty
eater pick up leaves in the fingers,
Mortified at the thought OF touching the
lettuce even with a silver fork. II
has not occurred to most lettuce eaters
that the cpiCures who established these
unwritten laws ate only the heart OF
the vegetable which does not require
cutting. packing or wadding. but may
be taken on the tip Of "A fork and con
veyed decently t0 the buCCal cavity.
Therefore, when In society eat only the
heart. II you want the best part Of
the lettuce Ohe outer leaves sneak into
the kitchen, shake little pepper and
salt in your hand and go ahead.-New
York Press.

COMMUNICATION.

Editor Morning News The Young
Mems Christian Association endeavors
TO reach men and benefit them in four
ways physically. socially, lntol-
lectually and spiritually. Among
other things provided for the intel
lectual and social advancement of the
people IN towns where Associations
exist, Is course of entertainments,
made up of talent sufficiently diver
sified TO meet the demand OF those
who enjoy entertainments of "a class
that appeal to good taste, and at the
same time provide pleasant, as welt as
profitable recreation and mental slim
ulus.
The Danville Association has for a
number of years. through its Lecture
Committee, provided courses of enter
tainments for the small sum OF 81 %,
including reserved seat. The talent
has always been of the very best OBJ
tainable, and has been selected with
the thought of giving pleasure aud
profit to the patrons of the Course.
! This year the talent is of the very
| best that could be secured, and the
| Committee feels that il has given an
opportunity 10 the citizens of Danvillr
| TO enjoy three musical numbers and
| two lectures that could not be brought
to town in any other way at so small
| cost.
For some reason or other the sale of
course tickets has not been SO large as
in former years. Among other rea-
sons which may account for the fall
| ing off i'll the sale is a report which
was circulated, maliciously or other
wise, that the undersigned would have
at least 100 tickets reserved before the
Board opened to the public; wherea S
and in fact | was not at the Board
with tickets and the first one TO get
his tickets reserved Mr. Calvin Keef-
er found clean Board; as | believe
he will be glad to testify. All other
unfavorable reports are just as ground
less.
The first number of the Course will
appear in the Opera House tomorrow
night. nj 8 :l5 O'Clock
There are goodly number of per
sons who would thoroughly enjoy the
entertainments il they would avail
themselves OF the opportunity. There
are others, too. who should encourage
the Committee by showing their in
terest through the purchase of tickets
for the course, which are on sale and
may be reserved at Hunts drug store.
Persons contemplating the purchase
Of course tickets should do so at once
and have them reserved for the season.
There are still many good seats Ie-
manning.
