one, although this will be the first time
match of this kind has ever been shot in
the United States.
The newspapers of England take great
interest in the national matches which
are shot under the auspices of the Eng
lish government and the National Rife
Association at the great range at Bisley
each year. Three or four of the larger
London newspapers give trophies foF
these matches, and regular teams com.
posed of ewspaper men participate in
the events. As far as known Boston is
the only city in this country which now
possesses a rifle team composed excu.

been arranged between teams composed
of newspaper men and representing va.

he more water there will be.

the more water there will be.
There are several lakes in New Jersey
the acquisition of which by the State for
the use of the public would be gladly
welcomed by citizens at large.
Some of the most desirable of these
are: Atlantic County--May Landing
Pond, 333 acres; Weymouth Pond, 205
acres. Cumberland County -Millville
Pond. 926 acres Morris County -Budd's
Lake, Ats acres; Green Pond, AGO acres;
Lake Hopatcong, 2,443 acres. Splitrock
Lake, 315 acres Passaic County-Cedar
Pond, 21S acres; Dundee Lake, 224 acres
Greenwood Lake, 1920 acres; Pompton
Lake, 19G acres; Macopin Lake, 299
acres. Sussex County-Culver's Pond,
4s6 acres; Long Pond, 800 acres; Swarts-
wood Lake 500 acres; Wawayanda
Lake. 240 acres.
There are all told 40 natural and
artificial lakes in the State, ranging from
eleven acres up to Lake Hopatcong, the
largest. Many of these are located in
picturesque sections of the State. and
their ownership by the State would be
beneficial to the people from an artistic
viewpoint, in addition to insuring the
f11& or1d q i'm
supply of water for domestic uses.
In the matter of the lakes the COM
mission is confronted with an interesting
question of their ownership. The proprie-
tors of East and West Jersey have had
some claim to these bodies of water
which the commission will have to ex-
anime into very carefully, besides which
the title to several of them is now in
dispute.
Another line along which the commits
sion has been working is that suggested
by the report ON the water supply of
the State, made by the State geologist
in 1894. All the data collected then has
been condensed and put into shape for
futher consideration. In it it was stated
that some of the watersheds were not
available for potable purposes, and the
commission thinks that further examin-
alton may show that they can be so util-
lied under certain restrictions. The
commission has also had under consider
alton report made by a commission
appointed in 1884 to examine into the
water supply of the State, which not
only went into the cost and quantity Of
the then present supply, but estimated
upon supply for the future. That
future is now here, and the commission
believes it will be interesting to ascer-
tain how much of the supply then con-
sidered available has been taken up
either by the municipalities or the cor
porations.

Alabama Lady's
CURE BY THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES

aAbout four years ago was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and few covering my body, which
produced severe itching irritation, and
which caused me great deal of annoy
ance eand suffering, osuch an extent that
Twas forced to call in two of the leading
physicians Of my town. After q thor
ouzh examination Of the dreaded COM
plant they announced il to DO skin
eczema in its worst form. They treated
me for the same for the length Of one
wear, but the treatment did me no good.
aFinally ] became despondent and
decided to discontinue their services.
Shortly afterwards, my husband in read
ing q copy of weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement Of the Cuti-
cufa Remedies. He purchased the en-
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent
in connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. I continued the use of the
Cuficura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. I have not felt a symp-
tomofthe eczema since, which was three
years ago.
"The Cuticura Remedies not only
cured me Of that dreadful disease,
eczema, but other complicated troubles
as well; ard have been the means Of
Others being cured Of the same disease

Fulton Wants Railroad Connection
With KATY.

FULTON, NO., Feb. 2s.-The newly
organized Fulton Commercial Club
has determined that Its first work
shall be the securing of railroad con.
nections with the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, which is within fourteen
miles Of Fulton.
An effort has already been made to
interest the officials OF the NJ, X. &
T., and the General Welfare Com.
mittee Of the Club has instructions &c
open negotiations with General Mana
ger Allen, of the Katy system.
Several surveys for a line between
Mokane, on the Katy, and Fulton
have been made. Fulton has but one
railroad, and that a branch Of the
Chicago s. Alton, on which not even a
Sunday train is operated. The new
road would open up a large coal and
fire-clay field, and it Is believed would
pay from the time the first train was
run
