URGES LIGHTER CHARGES.
Rear Admiral o'Neil's Expedient to
Save the Guns

The recent series Of accidents to guns on
warships has induced Rear Admiral O'Netl
chief of naval ordnance, to recommend to
Secretary Moody that target practice be re-
stricted to light charges at shortened
ranges. which will mean less strain on the
guns and probably result in more extensive
use Of the subcaliber tube. Unless Admiral
Dewey has changed his mind, as a result OF
these recent accidents, he does not agree
altogether with Rear Admiral ONeil. About
month ago. in talking on the subject, Ad-
miral Dewey saidi
"Subcaliber practice is not enough. The
men don't take the interest in this make
believe gunnery. They work better when
they are firing the gun with full charge
they want to see the charge hit Only with
full charges can entire efficiency be gained. "

 The regular monthly meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution was held in the Foot Guard armory yesterday afternoon. There was a very large attendance, there being about 15O present.

A fine musical programme was rendered in place of the reading of the usual monthly historical paper. The glee club of the chapter rendered sev- eral very fine selections. Mrs. A. F. Winchell and Miss Mary Law also gave an instrumental duett, which called forth much applause. Mrs. Charles Bolmer gave two vocal solos, accom- panied on the piano by Mrs. Sherwood Mrs. Bolmer and Mrs. Borden also rem dered vocal duett with effect.

 The programme was one of the finest ever given in this city, as every con- tributor was an artist and was received with appreciative applause All pres ent spent most enjoyable afternoon.

Carried Pocketbook Several Miles
 and it Contained $5.
 Hartford, Feb. 10.-Arthur E. Ding well, an inspector of the Hartford Elec- tric Light company, is accompanied on his early trip at night by a very in- telligent dog. About 10 o'clock at night the dog goes home and guards the house against burglars. A few nights ago while making his rounds MT. Dingwell saw his dog pick up some thing in the street. When he reached a lamp the dog held a pocketbook up to him to take, but MT. Dingwell did not think it was worth anything, as it had been found in the middle of the road and had a very rusty appearance. After he had driven his horse about four miles and the dog had trotted by the side of the team the dog again held up the pocketbook for his master to take. MT. Dingwell did not like to get his hands muddy by taking the purse. The dog continued to hold it, and after 8 few more miles had been covered Mr. Dingwell decided to reward the dogs perseverance by taking the pocketbook. He found $5 bill inside.
