ARMY nARKSnANSHIP.
Value so The Gorernment of Expert
 Shots.

w dSulugtOu, Re O.s NOV lS.-Ine advisability of increasing interest in craftsmanship among the soldiers of the United States army has been recognized by the army authorities, and, in connection with the work of the national board for the promotion of rife practice with the militia and civilians, 1t is interesting to note that there is a plan on foot to increase the pay of soldiers in the regular army who qualify as expert marksmen. In the infantry and cavalry the expert rideman now receives one dollar a month extra for the year in which he qualities as an expert, but after once winning this inadequate prize there is no additional reason for men to keep up their standing. It has therefore been suggested that there should be a fair-sized increase of pay for qualifi- cations of this kind and small one for each succeeding qualification thereafter. Tn this manner the mans pay would be increased each year, according to accuracy in marksman- ship and eventually the amount re- ceiyed would become commensurate with the value to the government of a skilled shot in comparison with poor one. With this end in view, it has been recommended that each enlisted man on his first qualification as an ex- pert rffeman receive monthly in- crease in his pay of two dollars and an additional increase of one dollar per month after every other yearly qualification as an expert marksman so long as his service remains con- tinuous. It is further recommended that each enlisted man on his first qualification as sharpshooter receive a monthly increase of one dollar and an additional increase of fifty cents per month for every yearly qualifica- .tion as sharpshooter so long as his service remains continuous. 1t is also suggested that instead of donating medals at the various competitions as the sole prize for the ones winning thereat the following increase in the enlisted mans pay, in addition to the medal prizes, be authorized so long as the winners service remains con- tinuous:
 For division rife. carbine and pistol practice-to the winner of the gold medal, monthly increase of $3; first silver medal. &2; second silver medal, $1: excent that, no man may receive the increase cited above for more than one medal in any one year.
 For army rifle. carbine and pistol competition-to the winner of the gold medal, monthly increase of S5; first silver medal S3: second silver medal, $250: third silver medal, $2; with the proviso that no soldier may receive the increase for more than one medal in any one year.
 The retention of the medal prizes Is considered as advisable on sentimental grounds, as it furnishes tangible evidence of individual fitness. but in itself it is not regarded as an incentive to the best sort of continuous effort. The pronosed increase in pay would require legislative action, and if for any reason. these recommendations are not adopted, congress will probab- ly be asked to increase the pay of expert riflemen and sharDshooters of the infantry and cavalry branch to the amount now received by the first class and second class gunners of the artil- lery corps.

RELIEF FOR PENSIONERS.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov lS.-ln consequence of personal appeal to the American minister, MT Swenson, the minister of justice, has issued iIi- structions that no notarial fees shall in future be charged by Danish oftt- cials for witnessing the vouchers of Danes receiving pensions from the United States. This is intended to re lieve the pensioners (some of whom are poor widows who on account Of the distance are unable to obtain free the services of American diplomatic and consular officials), of the payment of the fees which pensioners within the reach of American officials escape.

CAME AT NEW BRITAIN.

It has been decided by --.e represen- tatives of the high schools which are members of the Trinity Interscholastic Football league that the final game in the championship series tomorrow shall be played in New Britain. The place at which the game should be played has been in dispute for some time the ruling Of the league officials being that 1t should be played at either Bridgeport or New Britain.

DARTMOUTH AND BRo,yN.

Their most important game of the year will be played in Boston to-mor- row between Dartmouth and Brown. This is the game for which each mas been aiming. Dartmouth not only has not been beaten this year, but not q touchdown has been made against the Green. This record has been equalled only by Pennsylvania. Dartmouth has played seven games, including one tie, and made 131 points to opponents 8. Brown has played ten games, of which four were defeats. She has made 176 points to opponents 39. Yale and Pennsylvania were two. of the teams that beat Brown. Leaving these two out, Dartmouth still has the better record, beating Amherst 15 to 4, whereas Amherst worsted Brown, 5 to 0. However, most of Browns poor playing was in the early part of the season. The Brunonians have im- proved materially in the latter half of their season. The two teams are about equal in weight, with Dartmouth lit tie the heavier. Eddie Herr of this city plays with Dartmouth.

WILLIE AND sCHREcK.

Chicago, Nov 18.-John Willie. whose future fights will be source of considerable interest to ring followers owing to his defeat of Jack O'Brien, has been matched to fight Mike Schreck on November 21. The bout will be at ten rounds and the articles call for the men to, weigh in at 16o pounds at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the fight. The Blue Island Ath letic club has secured tLe match. If Schreck wins he will meet Philadel- phia Jack O'Brien before the West End club in St Louis on December for, guaranteed purse of S2,OO0. Schreck is training with Jack Root al the Shamrock Athletic club in this city. ss,s
 Jack O'Brien is to get a chance. to wipe out his poor fight with John Willie of Chicago. The pair met the other night and O'Brien received se- we're gruelling. Tn that mill O'Brien declares Willie violated a breach by not weighing in according to the arti- cles of agreement. Willie promised to tip the beam at 165 pounds, but when the time arrived for the mill to be held Willie was at least five pounds above the scale. while O'Brien only weighed 15S. pounds. Willie and O'Brien are to box six rounds before one of the Philadelphia clubs some time next month. O'Brien would be pleased to meet Willie in a longer mill, and if boxing opens up in Chicago again, ana it is expected that it will, the Quaker will try to have the mill decided in the west.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION

II is well Known that White River
Juuctiun is an important railroad
center. 1T i, not so well known, how
ever, that is one Of the principal toll
ccntcrs IF the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co. More toll
messages pass through this office
daily than any other point i'll the
state and northern New Hampshire.
The local business is comparatively
small but the volume of toll traffic
makes il necessary to employ a large
force of operators and it is under
stood that the increase of business
will require an additional force be-
fore the summer months. All calls
from points in Massachusetts, to
northern Vermont, New Hampshire
and eastern Maine is routed via
| White River Junction. In the even
mo. when the rate is cut one-half
the switching is particularly heavy.
In addition to regular handling OF
outward and inward toll business
and the switching of messages, the
office has recently been made a re-
LAYING point for Woodstock's, Hano-
vcrs and I.ebanon's business. MS
well as for Orange county points
