AN EXPERT SHOT.
Capt. Bartlett Demonstrates His Ability
as a Marksman and Eiiiei eney Of
Peters Powder.

Capt. George +. Bartlett the
marvellous marksman," gave q
fine exhibition in Bryan yesterday
morning.
Captain Bartlett is a promoter
of shooting, and is employed by
Hubbard, Spencer, Bartlett Il Co.
of Chicago, and the Peters Cart.
ridge Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, to
to visit gun clubs and show the
shooters what can DO done with
first.class ammunition, and he
certainly fills the bill. He shot all
manner of ways and demonstrated
fully the many superior points of
Peters cartridges, both with shot
gun and different calibre rifles.
His Introductory shots were made
with u 1920 rifle. With this rifle
the captain made dust of pieces Of
brick thrown high in the air. Then
came the great test of high velocity
and excessive penetration. Four
peices Of / inch boiler plate steel,
q inches square, were thrown in
the air and promptly punctured,
the cartridge being what is known
as a soft nose or mushroom bullet.
These cartridges fl, any 5000 rifle
perfectly and are loaded with 20
grains of special sporting military
smokeless powder, made especially
for this cartridge and they have a
velocity of 1000 feet per second.
With a Stevens Ideal rifle 1920
he did some pretty work at looking
glass shooting, breaking small
pieces Of brick by reflections of a
small pocket mirror and holding
the rifle in all manner of positions
and angles. With a 22.calibre
rifle he shot showers of small
peices of brick about the size of
walnut that were thrown in the
air in rapid succession. He shot
200 shots out Of this rifle without
Bryan morning eagle. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1898-1909, 1905-10-28

cleaning the gun and then invited
the crowd to look through the
barrel and see the cleanest rifle
barrel they ever saw with less than
a quarter Of that many shots. In
fact, the barrel was not fouled at all
and did not look as il more than
one shot had been fired through il.
This was a demonstration of the
superiority of semi smoke e 5 :
powder over the common black
powder; il costs no more.
The results of the shooting done
by Captain Bartlett can be seen at
the Cole Hardware Co.'S store
(Which firm carries a full line Of
this famous Peters ammunition,
rifles, revolvers and shotguns),
where the punctured steel, washers,
etc, were left.
Captain Bartlett is an ex-Deputy
U. 5 marshal and scout from
Dakota and was in the Sioux war
Of 90 and 81. and carries as
souvenir Of that struggle a slight
limp, the result Of a As 30 bullet
tearing away his right knee cap.
He is a good entertainer, talks
about his ammunition in a fluent
and convincing manner, and IL
certainly the best advertisement for
the Peters Cartridge Company they
could possibiv get hold of.

BELClUM'S NEXT KING

London, November 25-The death
OF the count of Flanders, brother OF
King Leopold, has brought into the
limelight this week the counts only
son, Prince Albert OF Flanders, who
has become heir apparent TO the Bel
gian throne, Born in 1875, Prince
| Albert attained his thirtieth birthday
last Anril. His marriage to the Ouch
ess Elizabeth. the third daughter Of
Duke Charles OF Bavaria In 1900, caused
great rejoicing and enthusiasm In Bel
GUM. When a son and heir presump-
tive 10 the throne was born four years
ago this month. the manifestation OF
pleasure In Brussels showed that the
royal couple possess u strong hold ON
the affections OF the Belgians, A sec
ond son was born October 10, 1903.
The general opinion Is that Prince
Albert will make nm excellent ruler;
some think even better than King
Leopold, since, In the first place, he
has shown no trace Of those undesira.
BILE characteristics which have been SO
marked q feature Of some Of his I'M
mediate ancestors, and, In the Sec
ond place, he does not seem TO have
anything OF his uncle's tastes for spec
,sl.ttAp aud euph nhuAntnrAs
Prince Albert long since ontgrew his
delicacy Of health, which AT the time
Of his elder brothers tragic and mys'
teriOus death gave rise to universal
fears that he would MOI grow up TO
manhood. He Is a tall. soldierly look
ing young man, well set up, with a
face inclined to be chubby. and ENJOYS
the reputation Of being Of a far more
studious temperament than his broth
or, Prince Baldwin. The latter met
his death under circumstances still
shrouded In mystery. in a house stu
ated in one OF the most fashionable
thoroughfares of the Belgian capital.
The tragedy. according to popular
rumor. bore many stiking analogies
to that Meyerling which cost the
crown prince Of Austria his life.
Like his uncle. King Leopold. Prince
Albert Is passionately fond Of the oi.
cycle. He Is also IN extensive travel
er, and has visited not only every
court In Europe, but most Of the great
centers Of industry in the old world.
He made many friends In America
during his visit in 1898. when he
spent some three months making ac-
q~uaintance with American institutions
and In filing a round Of private social
engagements at Newport and other
centers.
Princess Albert possesses an en-
gaging disposition and 1t was not long
after she took up her home In Brus-
sells that her thoughtfulness and gene
rosity made her quite as popular with
her husbands people as she was In
her native Bavaria. She Is a great
sportswoman, an excellent rider. good
cyclfst and automobilist.

Of the place OF meeting OF the Rus

ceeding between Foreign Minister
