petition among all the city students
In all schools and colleges where
military science is taught under fed
eral appropriation a strict cOurs in
target work is compulsory. Regular
army officers are on duty at these in
StitutiOns. If the movement contin
ues to grow it is hoped that shooting
ranges will be established In every
public school in the land.
While the presidents idea is gen.
orally approved, there are some per
sons and some organizations very
much opposed TO it. The Interparlia.
ment Art Union, which is working to
bring about the peace of the world is
antagonizing the presidents pro
gramme on this particular question
although it regards him as n Of its
stanchest supporters in the world
movement for universal peace. The
union takes the ground that if uni.
versal peace is to be established by
means of international arbitration, it
becomes a false step for a nation to
be c%ultivating a warlike spirit among
its youths and young men by teach
ing them to shoot with the idea that
they may some time be called ln to
shoot to kill in battle.

a little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
81 was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic infamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time I have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to flut-
tering of the heart and a feeling as
though / was smothering. My general
health was very bad and l was weak and
trembling.

mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When I began taking

After Mrs. Dewsy's marriage the X
street house was leased first to the
late Senator Alger, and l~atterly to
Secretary Hitchcock. Mr.. Hitchcock
recently gave up the place, and i'm
mediately workmen began making re-
pairs and alterations. Their orders
were SO imperative that they worked
far into the night.
Mrs. Dewey's home in X street is
magnificently furnished and it is said
that the Rhode Island avenu place
will be leased furnished. The X
street house was the home of Mrs.
Dewey du '1g the lifetime of her first
husband, Gen. HaZen of the signal
service. He. X street house is much
nearer the residence of her mother,
and she likes that location better
than the house presented by the
American people to her husband. The
title to the Rhode Island avenue
house now stands is in Mrs. Dewey's
name.

COCIETY here and in Virginia Is
- deeply interested in a rumor from
London to the effect that Miss Nora
Langhorne, youngest of the five hand
some daughters of c.. ID. LanghOrne
Of Albemarle county, Va, has cap
tured the heart and received an offer
of the hand of Prince Francis of Teck,
the good-looking brother of the prin-
cess Of Wales.
That Prince Francis family were
willing that he should marry a
wealthy American has been known
for some time, but Miss Langhorne
has not a great fortune. Her brother
in-law, Waldorf Aston, and the lat
ter's father, William Waldorf Aston,
however, have more money than they
know what to do with and are said
to be heartily in favor of an alliance
that would place them in the inner
most circle of English society, which,
as is we'll known, has not taken very
kindly to the elder Astor. The latter
is already reaping the benefit of the
popularity Of his daughterin-law, who
was Miss Mamie LanghOrne and who
at the time Of her marriage TO young
Waldorf Astor was Mrs. Shaw, having
married and divorced Robert Gould
Shaw of Boston in a surprisingly
short time after leaving the school
room. 1t was under her chaperonage

TEACHING SCHOOL BOYS
TO SHOOT WITH RIFLES
u RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ardent

II RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ardent
1 wish to make America a nation of
sharpshOoters is in a fair way of
realization. Shooting clubs are being
formed in the various states and are
procuring arms from the war depart
ment; agents are being sent to the
large cities for the purpose of in
structing the students in the public
schools how to load and sight rifles
so that the school boys may acquire
proficiency in the art of killing.
Not the least startling of the varied
progressive ideas incorporated in
President Roosevelt's last message to
congress was a suggestion that rifles
be put in the hands of public school
boys and a course in firing at targets
be included in the education of Amer
lean youths. This recommendation
was the final chapter in the presi-
dents message, apparently having
been added as an afterthought.
In the Washington schools a brisk
competition has been started to de-
cermine the best marksmau. The boys
are tested by firing the guns from
standing, kneeling and lying posi-
lions. The most expert pupils in the
different grades are to meet in COM

that Miss Nora Langhorne made her
London debut last season and at once
attracted the admiration of the smart
world.
Should the alliance in question be
arranged, the Astors will receive full
credit for the match, as without a
handsome dot from them it would be
impossible for Prince Francis to think
seriously Of marrying the charming
Virglnian.
Miss Langhorne's sisters are all
handsome and popular matrOns, just
as they were great southern bellies.
They are Mrs. R. Moncure Perkins Of
Richmond, Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson
of New York, Mrs. Reginald Brooks
of Boston, and Mrs. Waldorf Astor.
Their fathers estate, Mirado, in the
mountains of Albemarle county, has
been in the possession of the family
for many generations, and although
somewhat run down since the war,
is still a beautiful property.
Young Mr.. Aston, who passed sew
eral weeks at Mirado last September,
is said to be anxious to restore the
estate to its condition before the war,
when the grandfather of his bride was
the owner of 1000 slaves, and every
thing about the land and mansion
was kept in the highest state of Or
der.

veloped that the ink used was made
by a process invented by a man N
the bureau. The government paid Is
cents a pound for a hard black" and
as high as 65 cents a pound for a
"seft black" When the charges were
made last year, Director Sullivan of
the bureau made a personal inyesti-
cation of the manner in which the
color contracts were made, and found
that a satisfactory black could be pro-
duced for IL cents a pound.
Thereupon the price was reduced,
and the saving for the year was more
than STA 900. The color contracts
heretofore had been in charge of the
ink expert of the bureau, and the
price had been about what is charged
by several different ink concerns in
the open market

THE STORY.

n EPHTHAH was more than pleased
- with the way in which he had
been received by the people upon his
return from the land of Tob. 1t was
only too evident that they trusted him
implicitly and expected him to lead
them to victory against the Ammon-
ties who had for years so sorely OPP
pressed them. When the deputation
from Gilead had first come to him i'm
ploring his aid, he had doubted their
entire sincerity, in spite of the posi-
tive assurances given him that they
would Loyalty support him in all that
he did. But as he had gone through
out the country of Gilead and Man
asseh meeting with the most enthusi-
astic welcome, his spirits had risen
and his confidence grown, until now
as he waited at Mizpeh, the place ap-
pointed for the assembling of the
army, there came over him an elation
of spirits that made success seem
more than ever certain.
1t was during these enthusiastic
days of preparation for the coming
conflict that an Ammonite spy was
brought into camp. He had been cap
tured while endeavoring to get infor-
nation concerning the army which
yephthah was raising, and was imme-
diately brought before the latter, who
questioned him searchingly. 1t was
learned that the Ammonites had
raised a great army and were eagerly
preparing to enter Gilead.
"For days." boasted the captured
spy, "the people have been making vo-
tive offerings to the gods of the AM
monites to win their favor in the COM
ing conflict, and it was only yesterday
that the captain Of the host of the
Ammonites sealed his vows with the
Offering up of one of his sons to our
chief god Chemosh. 1t was Chemosh
who gave us this land and it is Che
mosh who will give it to us again"
The fervor and boldness of the spy
as he spoke there words made a deep
impression upon the men standing
with J%ephthah, and the unspoken
question which arose in each heart
was. sis Chemosh, the god of the Am
nonites, greater than the God Of the

Juduinq People.

We are all inclined to judge OF 9TH
ers as we find them. Our estimate OF
a character always depends much on
the in which that character
affects our own interests and passions.
We find it difficult to think well Of
those by whom we are thwarted or
depressed; and we are ready to admit
every excuse for the vices Of those
who are useful or agreeable to us.
That Is, we believe, one of those illu-
sions to which the whole human race
is subject, and which experience and
reflection can only partially remove

SERMONETTE.

1t is right to make lows unto
God and there must be the sim
cerity and f%aithfulness which
pays the vows made.
The Psalmist over and over
again uses the phrase, al will
pay my vow unto the Lord"
There is something in the re-
lisious nature of man which
leads him to make lows to his
God.
But impulse alone must not
govern in the making of these
vows.
Jephthsh must be commended
for his recognition of the fact
that the success of his campaign
depended upon the favor and
help of God.
To Jephthah must be conced-
ed a sincere spirit of devotion
and worship.
But these virtues could not
save him from the terrible mis-
takes which come from ig-
a and superstition.
Jephthah made the awful
blunder of supposing that the
favor of Gcd could be bought.
And he made the other and
more common mistake of bring
ing God down to the level Of hu-
man conceptions.
In the rash vow of Jephthah
may be traced the influence of
the heather practices about him.
Human sacrifice was made to
the heather gods. Would he do
less in seeking the favor of the
God he worshiped?
How little he understood
God. How imperfect was his
conception of what God required
in the way of worship and serv-
ice.
Perfect worship and perfect
service can only come from per-
feet understanding of God.
And we must not forget that
it is easier TO promise than it is
to fulfill.
Jephthah under the thrill and
the enthusiasm of that forward
movement against the enemy
pledged to God that which was
not his right to give and that
which would not honor God in
the giving.
Too often is the pledge made
to God under the impulse of the
moment without due thought as
TO our right to give or the will
ingness of God to receive the
gift.
But let US not confuse the
vow thus made with the one
which is made while commun-
ing with God in the mountain
top experiences where the soul
mounts the spiritual heights and
aspires after richer and better
things in the grace and f%ullness
of Christ. There the soul may
pledge its deeper conservation,
its fuller devotion, and then
come down to the commoner
levels of life there to pay the
vow which it has made.
But delay to make thy vow,
then haste thou to its fulfill
ment.

ENDS HER LIFE.
Lena Jones, of Color, Shoots Her
Brains Out at GradyvilIe.
BODY FOUND LAST FRIDAY MORNING.

News reached here early Friday
morning of the suicide of Lena Jones,
of color, wife of Will Ed Jones, who
was convicted and given a term of
thirteen years in the penitentiary at
the term of Circuit Court, just closed,
for killing Tom Dudley, his father-in-
law and his wife's father.
The deed was evidently committed
some time during Thursday night, as
the body was found near the barn Fri
day morning, cold and stiff.
1t is supposed that she became de-
ranged brooding over the killing of her
father and the conviction of her hus-
band to serve a long term in the pen
itentiary.
