cinder footpaths are being constructed to
all parts of the range. These improve
ments will cost the state about S'5.1D. in
addition to the cost of the additional
ground. In July the I'd Infantry will be
at Camp Perry for qualification of its
men, and il will probably be designated TO
remain during the matches in August.
Considerable saving in ammunition to
the states will be effected by recent de-
cision of Assistant Secretary of War Oil
yer, who has held that where an officer or
enlisted man of the National Guard quail
fies as an expert rifleman or as a sharp
shooter he enters the next seasons prac-

the expert of last year will have to quail

three classes marksmen. sharpshooters

A singuIarly humorous situation ex-
lists at Santiago de Cuba, according 70 a
report made by Major Herbert H SlO-
cum, who recently made an inspection
visit there with the object OF looking
into the water supply.
The government has constructed re-
Gently a reservoir Of sufficient size to
supply the city, but the water mains
extend only to the edge Of the city. and
the distribution Of the water is left in
the hands OF the mayor. II is stated
that the mayor is a keen politician. He
arranges it so that his supporters may
have all the water they want, but his
opponents seldom have enough for a
bath.
Governor Dougherty. Of the eastern
province, in some way has incurred the
enmity of the mayor. and suffers from
his peevishness by lack Of bathing fluid
while in the city some negro politician
gleefully opens the water faucet in his
yard, and lets the water run out just fer
fun. The Havana Telegraph cOndOlts
with Governor Doushsrty, in not being
able TO get enough water for q bath,

Lower Court Decision Will Dis
franchise Half the Voters
of Virginia.

RICHMOND, Va. Aug. s.-John G.
Tilton. attorney for the Commonwealth
at Norfolk, and James V. Trehey, clerk
of the courts Of that city. are the Pc
titioners TO the supreme court Of ap-
peaIs for a Tehearing OF the famous
roll tax case. The court already has
granted a writ Of error and supersedeas
The case will, II is understood, be
heard at the September term at Staun-
ton.
The petition brings up squarely the
question Of personal payment OF taxes
as a prerequisite - voting. The pc
titioners incline to the view that the
II al court erred in holding that the
language OF the rev constitution re-
quires that each voter shall individually
and personally visit the once OF the
treasurer and pay his taxes in person
with the money from his own pockets.
The petitioners claim that a check. g
postal money order. or cash sent BY
messenger Is personal payment within
the meaning of the constitution.
II the decision of the lower court is
sustained, IL is believed that at least
half the voters of the State will be
denied the right OF franchise at the gen
eral election this fall.
