sncongruousness of the living togcth- CT of the Suluans and the Americans kept one laughing from start to fin lsh. But in Peggy one sleeps rath- er than smiles; nothing happens, no- body says anything. What move ment there is we will try to record.
 The curtain rises, disclosing so- sial function in Hickory Creek, III. Society, as it exists in Hickory Creek, $ making merry, or trying to, with m s'Old Time Party" The costumes copied by these provincials are home ty and depressing in the extreme, and t makes us sad merely to look upon such gaunt, unlovely men, such silly, ,impering, drab, unbeautiful women. Capt. Hummer, an influential cit zen, learns, while the 'party'' is still n progress, that his daughter Peggy aas returned to her native land; Peggy, who, in some fairy-tale way, lad found a rich patroness to take Ter to Paris and give her voice train ng by the best masters dwelling in hat center of art. Well, Peggy is pack in America, in nearby Chicago, md Capt. Hummer decides to go to he big city and find out why his laughter delays her return to Hick- ,ry Creek.
 The curtain goes down. the curtain goes up, and quickly we are trans Z ported from Hickory Creek to the Auditorium hotel in Chicago. A Foung man, of the build and appear lnce of a good, strong butcher, tum- oles about on the stage, for what purpose we do not know, and be- tween his teeth misses out some thing that may be meant for "Artie' slang. Then he and really pretty, graceful girl do some rather good dancing and some execrable singing, and then somebody else comes on for his stunt; a gay old boy, perplexed manager, a bevy of capering and warbling women and few melan- choly youths. o, it is very amusing
 At last Peggy comes in, trounced out like the woman on a cover of the Metropolitan magazine, and we learn that she is pretending to be a Paris. ian singer, and that, as she wants to get the price foreign stars are able to demand in America, she de. sires to conceal the fact of her Hick- ory Creek extraction. She cuts her father dead, but we can find nothing pathetic in it, though we worked hard so to do. The old man is such an unattractive caricature, no one could be blamed for disowning him. But the curtain falls with Peggy's arm about the old mans neck, and Peggy making a spread-eagle speech

NEED TARGET PRACTICE.
Marksmanship in Uncle Sam's Navy Has Not Maintained It's
 Superiority.

Admiral Dewey was recently cred ited with the statement that the gunners of the United States navy had deteriorated in craftsmanship since the battle of Manila bay. Tn an authorized statement in regard to that report, reports the Washington Star, he explained his position as fol lows:
 At the time of the Spanish war I believed the American navy pos- sessed perhaps a higher standard of craftsmanship than any other navy in the world. At that time no coun- try paid much attention to target practice. Our efficiency in this di- rection was due to the action of MT. Roosevelt, then assistant secretary of the navy, in taking the bull by the horns, dumfounding the navy department by expending large sums for constant gunnery practice. The result was apparent
 sAfter the Spanish-American war foreign powers, astonished at our proficiency, immediately began to pay more attention to marksman- ship. They increased their appropri- ations for target practice. Many new appliances for working the guns were invented to excellent advan- tage The result has been that the standard of target practice all over the world has advanced.
 seBut the United States has not in- creased the vigor of it's efforts for the improvement of the gunfre to the same extent that other nations have. Tn the Caribbean this winter found that the men had had little actual target practice for long time. The necessity for it was ap- parent. subcaliber practice is not enough. The men do not take the interest in this make believe gun nery. They work better when they are firing the gun with full charges they want to see the shot hit. Only with full charges can entire efficiency be gained.
 s'The accident on the Massachu- sets, in which nine men were killed by the explosion of charge in the eight-inch turret, is attributable di- rectly to lack of practice. It is ex- uensive, but necessary.
 "I do not think we are deteriorat- ing. I think our men can shoot as we'll as anyone. In fact, they are better marksmen naturally than any other people, but they need practice Other nations are improving. That is why we are not as superior as We were in the Spanish-American war;"

PEGGY FROM PARIS"
It Is Not as Good as Ade's First
 Effort in Comedy.
It Lacks the Striking Originality of the Sultan of suIu,'' But Has Some Redeeming
 Features.

MT. George sAde has been wonder fully successful in most of his att tempts, but he has not struck 12 in this last one. Though, to tell the truth, there seems very little of Ade in the Peggy from Paris affair, in fact, we failed to find anything at all characteristic.
 Is it that the managerial censor,
 who blue-pencils productions before they see the light of day, has trans formed and embellished the piece be- yond all hope; or has our entertainer quite worn himself out spinning yards and yards of fables and noting down rods and rods of slang? What ever the cause, Peggy from Paris" is flat, stale and improbable.
 We expected, reading the praisefu1 words advertising the new produc- tion, tunefulness, cleverness, wit and fun. We ea went, saw, heard, and mourned for our lost silver. The scenic arrangements were gorgeous enough, the spangles and hosiery sufficiently to the fore. enough girls ogling and twisting about; but where, O, where was the music, where the comicality? Yet, in writing that last word, we recall bit of Peggy which may explain; the conversation between old Hummer, Peggy's father, and the manager of Peggy's com pany. Capt. Hummer is searching
