Rifle Shooting.

New York Times:
The winning OF the Palma trophy IN
England by the American team is a
most gratifying proof of the extent to
Which military craftsmanship is Guilt
waited in the National Guard of this
country. Three states were represented
by the marksmen, undoubtedly the
three in which the National Guard is
most efficient, with the exception of
Pennsylvania. 1t is a pity that some
militiaman from that state should not
have qualified, as no doubt there were
many who could have done so. But IL
was a victory distinctly for the citizen
soldiery- There was only one profess
sional soldier in the team. the represent
tative of the marine corps. And these
representatives of the militia of the
United States have beaten the represen.
tatives of the United Kingdom not only
but of the British empire. 1t is really
something to be proud of, and encour-
aged about. For, unlike some of the
earlier international contests in rifle
shooting, it was intensely practical.

Home Treatment for consumptives

New York Herald:
Recent Investigations of alleged cures of
consumption by special serums inhalations
of antiSepticS and numerous internal
remedies have proved the irrationality of
all such methods and have helped in a di-
rect and convincing way to confirm the
present advanced views regarding the val
ue of fresh air and sunlight as the best
available of therapeutic measures. The
cOmmOnSense procedure by which such
means may be adapted to the needs of the
victims of the white plague are most
forcible arguments in their favor. Best of
all, the remedies are always at hand and
are within easy reach. Instead of attempt
ing to kill the bacillus the patient is
strengthened to resist the enemy. So far
lungs have signany failed. So long as
the bodily soil is favorable for the propa ga
ton of the microbes they will multiply in
spite of local treatment. The primary in
dicatiOn is to create immunity in the
individual against the effects of the toxic
influences.

Unarmed, Yet Mighty.

New YORK World: ;
Is there not a point worth emphasizing
In the general agreement of Catholic and
non-Catholic opinion that Leo XIII was
the most powerful pope of modern times :?
This pontiff broke a lance with the great
Bismarck and came out victor. He Sc
cured important concessions for his people
alike from the car, the kaiser and King
Edward, He dealt on terms of equality as
well with monarchies as with republics,
and left the church on a better footing
in all countries than when he began his
reign, not excepting Italy. Yet Leo XIII
had neither army nor navy-nothing in the
way of armed support beyond a small
hodybuard.. He was shorn of even the lit
tie strip of territory, and the temporal SOW
ereignty that went with it, which nearly
all former popes had possessed, yet exer-
cised more actual power and direction over
the internal events of his time than any
contemporary sovereign.

Gated Sidewalk Question. .

city Fathers Struggle With . comp!i.
Gated Sidewalk Question. :
The city council held a special meet
ing last night. O. l.. Gregory,
Henry Lorenzen were on the carpet
for violation Of city ordinance. A
man isn't usually called to account for
building better than he has to, but
this case was exceptional. 1t seems
that some time ago the council agreed
to leave to the discretion Of a majority
Of property holders Of a certain block
the question as to whether stone or
cement should be used In constructing
q sidewalk. The majority voted for
stone. Messrs. Gregory and Lorenzen
had cement put down and colored
and squared In imitation Of tagging.
This walk Is better than stone. be-
yond question, but the argument OF
the city fathers is that 1t destroys the
harmony Of the walk and Is an ofYense
to the aesthetic taste OF M passers
by.
But the council was not harmonious.
Some argued that the body had no tu-
risdlction whatever; that II the gen.
| tlemen had violated an ordinance, &C
tion In law must be brought against
them. Others said that, as the coun-
ell had given instruction that q stone
walk was to be laid, and that as the
behest had not been obeyed within Q
specified time, the body had full power
to go ahead and build a cement walk
as provided by city ordinance, wheth-
err a stone walk happened to be in
the way or not. The question was final
ly passed up for the next regular
meeting to struggle with.

As a result Of action by the Cit.
liens association last night the board
OF county commissioners this morning
ordered the removal Of telephone and
electric light wires from the plaza In
to the rear streets and alleys sur
rounding. This measure was taken
because In the building Of the new
and wider sidewalks already ordered
II would be necessary to move many
poles and II was judged to be an op.
perfume occasion to accomplish d
much desired end in having all poles
and wires taken from the square
where they are a menace and dis.
%igurement.

MANY MATTERs or PUBLIC IN.
rEREsT DISCUSSED At
WEST SIDE MEETING
LAST NIGHT.
Legal Action Decided Upon to Pre-.
vent Placing Of Library in Hjlisite
Park Protest Against Wasteful Elk.
pendlture on scenic Route.

The west side organization Of bus
ines men met last night and discussed
many matters Of public Importance.
Reports Of committees were listened
to with interest.
The sidewalks committee stated
that contracts had been let for near
~ all the plaza frontage and that work
would begin soon. The road and cul-
vert committee had secured the aD-
pointment Of Montgomery Bell by the
county board to repair the important
stone bridges on Hot Springs boule-
ward. The county commissioners had
already ordered timber to re.ioor the
Gallinas bridge and would hire an
expert to put the structure In proper
order.
The committee on library reported
that their offer to the city council
OF several free sites for that institu-
tion had received no notice but that
that body had unanimously repassed
the ordinance locating the building In
the Hillsite park. After fully discus
sing the matter the meeting voted
that legal action BIO taken to prevent
the carrying out Of this intention Of
the city council.
The committee on opposition to the
Aqua Pura company's condemnation
suit wal found short one member by
the absence from town Of Mr.. Nord-
haus and In his place the chairman
appointed Mr.. Chacon. This commit
tee was instructed to secure coop.
Grafton with the board OF trade and
the county board in opposing the con
domination proceedings.
A committee was directed to sc.
cure action Of the county commits.
sioners In fixing sidewalk lines and
grades OF the plaza, and to procure
the removal Of electric light and tele-
phone poles from the plaza TO the
alleys and Q streets.
The seemingly wasteful expendi-
lure Of public money in the work on
the scenic road as now located was
warmly protested against and the
~advisabiIity Of acting in the matter
was left to q committee. Then. after
some informal exchange Of Views and
sentiments on public affairs, the meet
Ing adjourned subject to call.

A good many vert passing and before
the fire department reached the
scene, the door had ben thrown open
and a gasoline stove. blazing furiously
had been pitched ut into the street.
Only trifing damage was done to the
building. The wood work about the
door caught fire but a bucket OF water
cxtinguished the blaze. Lee Critics
had lighted one Of the burners in the
usual way by the s OF wood al
cohol. In some way the tank caught
and an explosion followed. The young
mans face was painfully burned and
his hair came In for a free smuggling.
Mr.. Vincent, the pharmacist, was also
