REMARKABLE SHOOTING AT SEA

HEM AIM BILE SHUTTING Al SEA
The secret OF the tremendous victory
Of the Japanese over the Russians in
been the remarkable ability of the
Japs to shoot. This tends to show
that the Yankees of the East took adj
vantage Of the disclosure made after
the victories Of the American fleets
over the Spanish squardons regarding
the manner in which our men behind
the guns had INDUCED In target prac-
tice.
Those good souls who have been
wondering whether Uncle Sans war
ships could hold their own against the
Japanese in view Of the showing ma dc
! by the Japs in the combat with the
Russians may be treasured by the
statement that four gunners on the
battleship Kentucky recently broke
the worlds record with fve-inch guns
1t has just leaked out that during a
recent drill on the northern drilling
grounds twenty miles outside OF
Sandy Hook, one gunner with fourteen
shots a minute hit the target thirteen
times. The second gunner fired thir.
teen times per minute and hit the tar.
get every time. while two other men
had each twelve hits out OF thirteen
shots a minute. The range was 1900
yards. and the target was twenty one
by seventeen feet.
A range of $500 feet does not fall
far short of a mile. and when it is
taken into consideration that the four
gunners on the Kentucky missed only
three out Of ffty-three shots. it be.
comes evident that a ship at that dis
lance would have been puncturcd
many times. to say nothing OF the
probability OF sinking. The men be.
hind Uncle Sans guns still count.

Edward Clark, the prisoner who es.
capped from the state prison Saturday
afternoon. was found to-day by James
Conlin caretaker of the Evarts estate

shed until sometime last night when
he made his escape.
There is IA rumor here that an elder

seen near the Connecticut river in
Springfield and Supt Lowell has gone
there to see ii it is Clark.

TAKING ANOTHER NAME.
Nothing In the Law That Prohibits
Making n Change.

makAnS n Change.
Custom has made it almost univer-
sal for all male persons to bear the
names of their parents" said an at
tache of the local court the other
morning. 1T seems natural that it
should be so. Nevertheless there Is
nothing in the laws of this country
prohibiting a mans taking another
name, and no legal penalty is attached
to his doing So There is always, how
ever, possibility of it's being attended
with inconvenience and perhaps loss to
himself.
There is a way by which a man
may change his name with the sanction
Of the law, and that is the only safe
way. But the law requires him to as
sign some good reason for the change
Men have assigned various reasons for
wishing to change their names. Some
times a man wishes to drop his right
name because it is of foreign origin
and difficult for an American tongue to
pronounce. This may injure him in
his business, as there is such q thing
as prejudice even in this free and
enlightened commonwealth; or his
name may have in English an absurd
or even vulgar meaning and subject
him to unpleasant jokes; or it may as
sociate him with some notorious crimi-
nal or be the counterpart of some name
which history made infamous; or it
may be misspelled and consequently

country.
Frequently infants are left orphans
or abandoned by the father after the
death of the mother In that case it is
frequent occurrence for relatives or
neighbors to take a child and adopt it.,
giving it their own name. In that case
the party desiring to adopt must apply
by written petition to the court of the
place in which he lives asking leave to
adopt the child and change its name
to that of the petitioner. The order
allowing the adoption and the change
Of name must be filed with the court,
so that the real parentage of the child
may be subsequently established if
necessary.
when an adult applies for leave to
change his name he must give his place
of birth, residence, age and whether
he is married or single and whether
there are any judgments against. him
or outstanding commercial paper in the
name which he seeks to abandon. II
in any of these cases the court Is salts
fed there are no Objectionable reasons
the order is permitted granting q
change of name The order must be
filed with the clerk, and thirty days
thereafter the new name may be as

When mending kid gloves, use cotton
rather than silk, as the silk is likely TO

provide oneself with a glove needle,
