In speech in Alabama Congressman Hehn made bitter attack
Booker Washington and remarked that somebody had thrown

Roosevelt harm would have been done the country.

Enthusiastic Meeting Of Gun Club
Held Last Evening.

The Christmas shoot by the Lara
ME Rod and Gun club is now the one
thing in the minds of the marksmen of
the city, and if the weather prove ia
vcrable, it will be the big event in
sport of the year. The shoot will be
held Monday after Christmas day if
there be a general suspension of bust
ness on that day. Christmas this year

men decline to close or that day, then
the matches will be held on Sunday,
Christmas day. starting at 10 O'Clock
in the forenoon. 1t is believed there
will be a very general suspension of
business during the middle of the day
on Monday, at least.
There vas a largely attended and
very enthusiastic meeting Of the mem
bers of the club last night, at the office
of the president, Joseph Lohlein, when
plans for the shoot were discussed and
committees named to have charge of
inc uiutlGil ltdtultS Vi thS hAtS'ihS'
1t was practically decided not to limit

in each event and tohave not less than
eight ten-bird shoots during the day.
besides a team shot or W. and other
special features. The following COM
mittees were named:
Prizes-Elmer Lovejoy. Joe Lohlein
and DR.. Brown.

joy. DR.. McNif. II. D. Beemer, John
Kunkle and Bert Holiday.
The throwing down of the bars as to
club membership is expected to bring
all the shotgun marksmen in the city
the front and result in perhaps the
liveliest meeting of clay pigeon shots
ever held in this part Of the state. In
vitations will be sent to Cheyenne,
Hanna. Rawlins and other sportsmen
to be present and participate. There
are more than sixty prizes of different
descriptions and the plan will be to
award each one. giving the shooters
in all the events a chance to share in
the prizes to be awarded.

WHEN AN ICEBERG TUB
TURTLE.
TURNS

Think of sections bigger than Rhode
Island being torn from a glacier and
swept off into the ocean, to be ferried
5000 miles on the bosom of the Labra-
dor current until the heated waters of
the Gulf Stream cause them to vanish
from human ken! Then can one form
an idea of the immensely of the ice area
discharged from the Greenland seas
each year. Thousands of miles of val
ley are constantly emptying their con-
tents into the bays and fiords of the
north waters, whence the tides hurry
the detachments southwark to curnbar
the wide Atlantic.
The disposition of icebergs to turn
turtle is one of their most dangerous
propensities. 1t arises from several
causes. When they start out from
Greenland their bottoms are heavy
with the detritus gathered in their
glacial period and this drops off at in
tervals as they move south, causing
their centre of gravity TO change and
the berg to assume new positions The
scientific theory of the formation of the
vast submarine plateaus which extend
from Labrador to Fundy and are COM
monty known as the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland is that they are the
products of the deposits of bergs during
countless ages.--Leslie's Magazine

M = THE FEDERAL SENATE.

1t is amusing to see how the minor

which the Republicans now have

California which the influx of northern
settlers has made safely Republican, so
far as its law-making branch is con-
cerned, and generally Republican other
wise. is counted a sure thing. So is
Connecticut, a manufacturing State
which intends to keep itself protected
and which the Democratic legislative
ticket has no more chance of carrying
in a Senatorial year than it has the
back country of Vermont. Massachu-
sets, the Republican Gibraltar, which,
to the Senate since the war, is also
on the sure thing list. OF doomed
Republican majorities'' that of New
York-51 in joint sessions conspic-
uous. Despite frequent Democratic
Governors it is hard to remember when
New York had a Democratic Legisla-
ture; and for the enemy to get one in a
combined Presidential and Senatorial
year would require a miracle. Other
States figured for are Wisconsin, North
Dakota, Rhode Island, West Virginia
and Washington though if one of them
goes Democratic this year it will as
tonish the politicians of both parties.

THE DARDANELLEs ISSUE.

When Russia asked permission OF
Turkey to send warships through the
sDardanelIes, the Ottoman government
acted with its usual shrewdness. Tur-
key is no friend of Russia's; her sym
pathy in this war is with the Japanese
At the same time she wants no quar-
rel with her powerful neighbor, so in
answer to Russias request she said
she was quite willing to let the Rus
sian warships pass if the other powers
that signed the Berlin treaty were.
This treaty prohibits Russia from
sending ships of war through the Oar
daneIles, though merchant vessels are
allowed to pass. Having a large fleet
in the Black Sea, Russia would like to
dispatch some of her ships to the Far
East. Of the Berlin signatory powers,
France. Germany and Austro-H Hun
gary are agreeable, but Great Britain
objects Turkey was quite sure she
would and so sits back complacently
while the British foreign office in
forms Russia that the passage of the
DardaneIles by the Cars ships of war
would be incompatible with the in
terests of the British Empire
Russia, foiled in her main purpose,
is now doing the next best thing in
sending her volunteer steamers
through. A volunteer steamer is

transformed into an armed commerce.

lately here being a boat of the same
sort in the japanese service. 1t is re-
ported that a guardship has also made
the Dardanelles trip but if so, she
was probably unarmed Obviously,
however. Russia's scheme is not of a
peaceful character, for each of the
volunteer ships carries it's battery in
cargo as we'll as large consignments
OF ammunition and military stores.
One may easily imagine the appear
ance of half a dozen such vessels in
the Red Sea. releasing for duty further
on the cruisers which pass their time

The next move is Great Britain's
and if the Dardanelles affair really
becomes acute British fleet may seek
its old anchorage near Tenedos.

ISLAND ADVERTISING.

In advertising Hawaii in the mag
azines it would be good plan to in
clude, in each presentment, a short and
catchy extract from the writings, favor
able to these islands, of some distin-
gufshed man. So far as we have seen,
Mark Twain's magnificent tribute has
not yet been printed in the magazines
though it is worth columns of self
laudation. The world knows Mark
Twain and respects his judgment in
matters of travel as in matters of
literature; but it does not know the
Hawaii Promotion Committee which
signs such pleasant testimonials to the
land it lives in and where its interests
lie.
A little search will find a good many
such advertisements worth repeating.
A suitable extract from Bishop Potter's
article on Hawaii in The Century and
from Miss Birds book and a dozen
other works of travel; here and there
a few lines of verse from such poems
as "Waikiki;'' a paragraph from the
late T. Dewitt Talmage's Hawaiian
chapter of sightseeing, would answer a
fine purpose in impressing tourists by
outside testimony with the beauties
and opportunities of Hawaii-nei.
A good word from a respected out

San Francisco now claims a popu-
lation of 100000 people. The figures
are based upon the showing in the new
city directory. According to the Chron-
icle, in this years directory there are
1S7, $50 names, exclusive of business
houses. In 1900 the city directory con-
tanned 130.716 names and the United
States decennial census of that year
gave that city population of 342, 1872.
If there were 131, 900 men and widows
there when the population was definitely
known to be 343. 900, then the committee
figures that now. with $4,000 names in
the directory there must be all of
100000 persons in the community. This
would mean that San Francisco has
been growing at the rate of about 34.-
eco a year, or nearly 1900 month, or
almost leo a day.

ARE PIANOS DOOMED?

The Argonaut calls attention for the
second time to the fact-if it is a fact
that the piano and it's study are de-
clining in their ancient popularity.
AS follows it brings up a strong reen-
forcernent in the New York Times.

in the minds of parents that it does not

money to enable children. without must

knowledge of this instrument as viii
enable them to disturb the peace and
quiet of home without contributing
anything to its pleasures. Real piano
playing has been brought to a plane so
high that one who has not acquired
proficiency by long and arduous study
hesitates to confess to any knowledge
of it. Amateur work has been further
discouraged by the multiplication of
mechanical devices which. by the
agency of strips of paper punched full
of holes and wound on spools, can make
music in more or less successful imita-
ton of great compositions or trivial
ones, so far beyond the ability of the
average amateur piano player as to dis

few, has flooded the market with COM

hard and unremunerative work to COM

There was a time. as may be recalled
from ones reading, when young women
got their instrumental instruction from
the harp and there are some people yet
who would rather hear harp than a
Steinway Grand The violin is also an
instrument which yields soothing melo-
dies and requires as much skill-not
imitable as yet by any device which
winds up-as the piano. Perhaps, in a
few years, the violin will have the
vogue lately enjoyed by the keyboard.
