In our report of winners in last contest
many contestants must have noticed that
VIM. Ripley should have been reported
second prize winner instead of p. E. We'll
ler, who should have been reported third
prize winner Mr.. Weller's guess was
$15.SS distant from Bulls-eye. instead of
$5.SS as reported. Mr.. Ripley's guess
was $S13 from the Bulrs-eye. The mis-
take was discovered before payments were
made. Nobody was hurt. Mr.. Ripley got
his full dues all right, and Mr.. Weller was
well satisfied to get what was actually due
him.
The utter WEAKNESS of all concerned in
looking over so many guesses was the
cause of the mistake, and is a very good
as we have in the present contest. We
repeat that contestants have exactly the
same chance of winning as they had in the
last contest. Even the member of club
has the same chances. In former con-
tests it was usual for the Club-C Captain to
he allows but one guess for each dollar the
club member contributes. Instead of
wasting powder and lead with fifty shots,
each club member takes one shot. The
chances are exactly the same. We will
never go back to the absurd plan of allow
ing great number of guesses.
We are not afraid of the work it neces-
that is something awful
but of the mistakes that might occur.
These prizes and contests have grown to
be so big that there would be n good deal
of trouble involved by mistake.
No one of our former contests have
started off with such a display of interest
as the present one is exciting.
Dragging about "Our own folks" is al
ways questionable taste, but we cannot
forbear calling attention to the pleasing
appearance of the portraits printed on this
page.

SHAMROCK LII A GHOST
In o Light Wind She Beats the First
Shamrock More Than Thirty One
Minutes In Eleven Miles.

New York. July 6.-The Shamrock
III proved herself veritable ghost
in light winds by defeating Shamrock
/ 81 minutes and 10 seconds in an
eleven-mile beat TO windward. 1t was
a drifting match in wind averaging
not better than three or four miles an
hour. If Shamrock l, as reported, is
ten minutes faster than ever befo.e on
thirty-mile course, this performance
of the new cup challenger was little
short OF marvellous. The men on Sir
Thomas fleet were of the opinion that
if the Reliance could have beaten
Shamrock III in this race the days of
miracles are not past Changes that
vastly improved the new boat had evil

Evansville, Ind, July 6.-At l a. N.
today this city was in the hands of
mob. Troops had been ordered out by
the governor to protect the Jail, which
was surrounded by 1000 men. Two
negroes had been killed in race riot
which was rampant. The crowd
around the JAIL incensed at the murder
of a patrol by a negro, was shouting
death to all negroes. The negro has
been secretly removed TO Vincennes.
but the mob refused to believe it and
was trying to tear down the Jail. Stone
masons in the mob were chiseling out
the bars of the windows and batter
ing ram was being used
White Boy and Negro Woman Killed.
A white boy named Logan had been
shot by q negro. An unknown negro
woman had been killed and several ne
groes had been severely injured. A
company of negroes, armed with Win
chesters, was marching through the
streets threatening to kill all white
people. 1t had just broken into hard
ware store and secured all the arms
and ammunition. Threebusinesm men had
just been fired on, and were organic
ing and arming party to exterminate
the negroes.
White Citizens Also Commit Burglary.
Almost every hardware store in the
city had been broken into by the citi-
zens, and not a man could be seen on
The streets who was not armed. Those
of the police officers who were on duty
at the Jail or the station house were
patrolling the streets with Winches-
tiers. The mob continued its efforts on
the jail and the steel barred windows
could not withstand the rain Of blows
from the battering rams of the mob.
When theopening was made the crowd
swarmed in and began search for the
murderer. Police Captain Brennecke
tried to check their advance by turning
the hose on them. but when he ap-

Solemn Ceremony Performed ss the Bed
side Of he Ponti6.
At 7:20 p. m. yesterday the condition
Of the pope was 50 grave that 1t APP
peared that only a few hours Of his
life remained to him. 1t was, there
fore, deemed wise to advise him of his
grave condition, and this was done
with tender precaution. Pope Leo was
thus prepared for his last communion,
which was administered at night with
the participa ZION of all the cardinals
now in Rome and the whole of the
pontifical court. The solemn yet
gorgeous ceremony took place at the
bedside. The central figure was the
dying pontiff.
Around the bed were grouped the
noble guards. the knights of the Cloak
and Sword, twenty-five cardinals, all
the members of the sacred college why
are prese 1T in Rome, the whole form
ing a scene Of rich, yet subdued, color
ing, a fit subject for the pencil Of Rem
brandt. The whole of what is called
the pontifical family, headed by Car
dinal Rampo!la and including all the
private chnrnoerlains, was there.
Nearest to the bed stood the figure
of the cardinal grand penitentiary,
Se~afno Vannuttelli, with the pope's
confe5sor to hear the last confession
OF the departing pontifr. Then the
priest apostolic approached, bearing
the viaticum to give the last commun-
lon, and another the extreme JUNCTION,
assisted by the grand penitentiary.
Pope Leo feebly recited the confession
Of faith as formulated by the coun-
CT of Trent, and finally the words OF
abs0lution and the formula of indulg-
ence In articulo mcrtis were solemnly
pronounced by the grand penitentIary.
The heads Of the great religious orders
who were present g.anted the
pope special indulgences which
they have the privilege of conferring.
Then came the touching prayers for

In her complaint she AYERS that
Peugh had won her affections and con-
fidence and that these other parties
worked through him and sold to her
real estate, stocks, etc., to the amount
of $4,000, which was greatly in ex-
cess of the true value of the same.
She further AYERS that they entered
into a conspiracy to defraud her of her
wealth, and that they worked the deal
through Peugh.
