SHOOT A GOOD MATCH.
Topeka Marksmen Make High Scores
at Live Birds

On Saturday. January 80, a pigeon
match was shot on the grounds of the
Topeka Gun club. Quite an attend
ance was expected. but only three
members of the club appeared. and
these arranged an interesting little
series of sweeps, comprising altogether
% live birds. The birds were a mixed
lot of fast and slow flyers. and while
each shooter had his fair per cent. of
hard birds, it fell to Kleinhans to have
the best luck with his birds. Three
times he missed with his first shot, and
the pigeon alighting on the ground was
killed with the second load Another

Manufacturing never attained much
growth under the old Democratic regime.
Democratic legislation and Democratic
administration were not favorable to it,
They favored the importation of manu-.
factured products from foreign countries.
The real development of our manufacture

birth OF the Republican party and the
establishment of protection In 1850
there were only l4o.4S3 manufacturing
establishments in the United States; in
1900 there were 5l2.73i. In 1860 the

Christmas in London.
(By lac ASSOCIATED Press. }


London. Dec. 24.-The Christmas
spirit was abroad throughout England
to-day, Notwithstanding continued
heavy fogs which normally act as an
extreme depressant.
Not for years has London had such
a thorough dose of that pea-soup at
mosphere for which the metropolis is
famous; but the population which
grumbled during the week because OF
the Inconvenience attendant upon
weather conditions. and the tradesmen
because of the resultant loss. changed
moods to-day, and accepting the in
evitable, prepared to spend a merry
Christmas, even welcoming the fog as
a guest and friend of old days.
In all great homes in England the
Yule log is burning. From Sandring-
ham to the humblest residence, rel
atives, who are scattered throughout
the rest of the year, are gathering to
spend the English Christmas. 1t is
estimated that a million and a half
persons poured out of London to-day
TO those who witnessed the tremendous
rushes at the railway stations the won-
der was that any persons could be
left to people London. But the
exodus leaves no appreciable mark IN
the streets. which are thronged with
millions of Christmas shoppers and
sght-seers, though the fog limits the
scope of vision to about forty feet.
Most of the cabinet officers and dip
lomatS have left London.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
with the immediate royal family are
gathered at Sandringham Palace
where Christmas will be celebrated In
the usual manner.
