GUN CLUB ELECTION.
G.. P. Lohr Reelected President
Next Shoot February %.

The annual meeting of the Eastern
Branch Gun Club took place at the head
quarters of the club, on Pennsylvania ave
nue. near 18th street southeast. Monday
night. Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: G. p. Lohr. president
S. E. Besselievre. vice president; William
Brearley, secretary-treasurer; b. F. Nc
CARNEY, captain-manager; w. I. McCur.
dy. official Handicapped. and George P
DOane. official scorer. Messrs. Lohr, Nc
Cartney, McCurdy and Doane were re-
elected.
The directors of the club were instruct.
ed to plan number of tournaments and
other events during the coming season
and to invite those fond of clay pigeon
shooting to take part, in order to create
an interest in the clu&kand to bring new
members into it.
The next shoot will take place Wash
ngton's birthday. February %. The regu-
lar season will begin the first Tuesday
in April.
The Eastern branch club has been ir
existence about ten years and has enrolled
on it's membership some of the best
blue rock shots in the country.
About three years ago it installed an au.
tomato trap, which throws one bird at a
time. and is not feasible for double-bird
shooting. AS there is strong sentiment
among the trap experts for double birds
the club has determined to install two eX-
pert traps for the convenience of those
who desire to shoot double.
In shooting over the automatic trap only
one shell is allowed to be loaded. In
shooting at doubles it is necessary to load
two shells. The two traps are sprung
about the same time. the birds flying a,
unknown angles. To break both birds
some quick shooting has to be done.
1.-THE following members and friends OF
the club were present: William Wagner
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Coleman of the Ana
lostan Gun Club. A. r. Ham, w. T. Nc
Curdy G. P. Doane. b. T.. Mccartney

DRAG FOR ARMY TUGS WHEEL.
Many Seek to Recover Gear for $50
Reward offered

Spurred on by the standing offer of a
reward of $50 for the recovery of the
wheel of the army tug Lieut.. AlonZo
Cushing, lost in the harbor several weeks
ago. men with drags have been working
for the past day or two over the portion
of the harbor where the tug was when
she dropped the wheel.
Two crews are at work in rowboats.
Using a sweep the bottom of the harbor
in front of the dock used by the Gushing
has been dragged over several times. but
the wheel has not been located
1t is thought that when the heavy piece
of metal jumped from the shaft it went
spinning to the bottom in about twenty
feet of water and buried itself deep in
the mud. Drag workers will make fur
ther efforts to find the wheel before CIV
ing it up as gone for good

Herring and Shad From Florida.

Plump herring, much like those caught
in the Potomac in April each year. are
being received by the dealers at this city
in shipments of fresh fish from Florida
waters.
The receipts have not been at all heavy.
At no time have there been more than a
couple of hundred fish received at one
time. Dealers look for an increase in the
catch in the south and an increase In the
shipments to this market
The herring are selling at $3.50 hum
dred. rather low price for this season
of the year. Shad from Florida are also
received. The shipments are light, and
the shad sell at high prices.
Shad and herring will make their APP
pearance in the Potomac in the latter
part of March or early In April. 1t will
be the middle of April before the spring
fishing season will be in full swing and
the packing houses on the 18th street
wharf start operations.

line should net be done near fire, still
know of a girl who. after washing elbow
length gloves in the fluid. with them on
her hands tried to hasten the drying
process by holding them before an open
fire
If it is desired to tint lace after coming
from the bath the better way is to wait
until it is dry. then dip it into weak tea.
If Il little stiffness is desired cube of
sugar may be added to the tea.
Articles cleaned with gasoline require
no ironing.
Wells are an expensive item in the
wardrobe. A common veil is cheap at
any price. for poor quality is usually
pays to get a good face covering, and
when its life can be prolonged by clean
ing 1t is utter extravaganza to purchase
any but veil of extra quality.
For net wells of any and every descrip-
ton there is nothing better than a
squeezing through alcohol 10 freshen and
remove dust, but cheaper method is TO
wash in gasoline. Use sufficient fluid to
cover the article. When immersed nearly
all the gasoline will be taken up-so have
plenty on the start. Squeeze through the
hands several times. then rinse in clear
gasoline. This will probably be quite
black when one has finished IL the veil
is black, but it is owing to dye. When
dry the veil will be deep black and the
dots. if any. very glossy. 1t will be
thoroughly clean, too.
Soap and Water for Chiffon Wells.
Chiffon wells may be subjected to the
same process, but they may be safely put
through soap and water also.
To do this prepare a bath of warm
water and white soap. Lay the veil in
and lift up and down, squeezing through
the hands until quite clean. Then rinse
in clear water twarm), adding half tea
spoonful Of borax to a quart of warm
water if the veil is white, and few drops
of ammonia if the veil is colored
Then supposing the veil has faded dur
ing the washing the color can be restored
in the rinsing water.
To dry, the best plan is to pin it on a
table or bed and not to iron, although
chiffon irons perfectly. 1t is. however,
more like new when not ironed, and in
the case of a dotted veil pressing of any
kind is not advised. The dots will surrey
show the impress.

Doings of Pleasure Craft.

A power launch, recently purchased at
Annapolis by w. A. Rose of this city, was
brought to this city by rail from the bay
port and was delivered at Cumberland
boathouse at the foot of 9th street yester-
day. The craft is to be given a general
overhauling and cleaning up and will
shortly be put into the water for service
down the river during the coming fishing
season. Before the boat goes into service
1t will be given name.
The steam yacht Gretchen. owned by
Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia, wintering
here is 70 be fitted with a new mast and
will he otherwise overhauled before the
spring boating season opens on the river.
The new mast is being built at Bennett's
boatyard, and will be ready to be in
stalled in the yacht about the end of the
present week. 1t is probable the work of
placing the mast in position will be done
as the yacht lies in winter quarters at the
foot of street southwest
The launch Fairbanks, one of the
speedy pleasure boats owned here, is out
at Benefits. and during the coming
month the hull of the craft will be rebuilt
and other changes made that will put the
launch in thorough order for long cruises
during the coming spring and summer
months.

REQUIRES BETTER GAS FLOW
COMMISSIONERS SEND NEW
BILL TO CONGRESS.
Calls for One-Inch Pressure and
Meters Furnished by Companies.
Penalties for Failure.

To compel the local gas companies to
maintain a gas pressure at consumer
meter of one inch is the object of a
bill, the draft of which was forwarded
to Congress yesterday by the Dis
trict Commissioners. with a request for
its immediate enactment.
The draft was prepared by Corporation
Counsel Thomas. after consultation with
E. G. Runyon, inspector of gas and
meters, and was submitted to Commits
sioner Mcfarland this morning. He at
once moved that 1t be approved by the
Board of Commissioners, and this after
noon Commissioner West and Engineer
Commissioner Cosby voted for the motion.
The bill requires that at each con-
sumer's meter there shall be pressure of
gas sufficient to support column of
water one inch in height; that the gas
companies furnish the devices for measur-
ing this pressure, and that each violation
shall be punishable by Il fine of between
$1U0 and $500.
This is the second bill prepared by the
corporation counsel at the solicitation of
tribution of gas throughout the District
so as 10 insure safety in its use. The
first bill was sent to Congress several
days ago. and aimed to limit the amount
of carbon monoxide in gas to 10 per cent.
cent.
Commissioner Macfarland has recon-
mended that his colleagues approve this
draft and recommend its enactment by
Congress in view of the reports of DR..
II. w. Wiley. chief of the bureau of
chemistry of the Department of Agricul-
ture, and f. G. Runyan, inspector of gas
and meters. showing the necessity for
such legislation.
The bill provides that the Washington
Gas Light Company and the Georgetown
Gas Light Company, their successors and
assigns, shall. whenever necessary, by
enlargement of works and mains. or other
wise, secure such pressure Of gas at the
several works or principal centers of dis
tribution, and at each point of initial
pressure, that there shall be maintained
and recorded at stations TO be fixed by
the Commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia, as public needs in their Judgment
may require. at all times such gas pres
sure that the pressure at each consumer
meter shall at least be equivalent to that
required to support 4 column of water one
inch in height; provided. that it shall be
the duty of each Of said companies to
contrivances for recording such pressure
of gas as aforesaid.
Section . provides that each and every
violation of any of the provisions Of this
act by the said companies or either of
them, or any of their officers or agents,
shall be punished by fine of not less
than 500 or more than $500: provided.
that prosecutions Under this act for every
such violation shall be in the name of the
District of Columbia in the Police Court

FADS AND FANCIES.

Linens that We're discarded last season
Will be revived for summer suits and
frocks. White linen is cool, which makes
it an ideal fabric for warm weather wear,
but it brushes easily and really needs
pressing every time it is worm For that
reason probably many women will prefer
the poplin and reps again.
Children's hats and in fact some of
those for women's wear are of furry felt,
the nap so long that 1t has the appear
ance of fur.

Simple Dry Cleaning
Process for Home Use

| Gasoline as cleansing fluid is a boon
to women who must economic in dress.
for by using it many pretty garments
may be restored to their original fresh
ness. While light colored laces, ribbons
and galloons that have been previously
| used, If not too much worn. may be dyed
with oil paint mixed with gasoline and
so made presentable to wear again.
TO make this dye one must get tube
of oil paint and. squeezing little of it
into a vessel. add sufficient gasoline to
make the fluid the correct tint. Then ii
must be stirred until the paint is thor
oughly dissolved. When mixed test the
shade by dipping scrap of the article to
! be dyed in it.
II not dark enough. more paint must he
added. If too dark. then more gasoline is
necessary. To dye, dip the article up and
| down in the bath with pair of bOnbon
| tongs until the desired tint is obtained.
Ribbons and laces are dyed I'm this way.
Neither should be put into the dye bath
| while wet. II the lace needs washing be-
| fore coloring then 1t should be dried first.
and If ribbons are creased they must be
pressed with damp, not wet, sponge and
stretched until dry. The dye will not re-
move creases. and if the ribbons are
washed before dyeing they will lose their
! crispness. so the dampening should be
very light.
Ostrich feathers may be dyed in the
same way and quilts and wings will re-
spond to this treatment.
| For restoring faded artificial flowers
| this method Is excellent. or for tinting
white flowers delicate color.
Gasoline Used for All Garments.
| All kinds of garments can be dry clean
| ed with gasoline, and as the fluid costs so
| little, it will be found much less expen-
sive to do the cleaning at home than to
send the pieces to a professional.
Blouses. neekwear. silks, handkerchiefs
and all fragile articles that would pos

will come out fresh and almost like new
| from the gasoline bath. Even dresses may
| be attempted If one has the time and

A strong lather Of white soap dissolved

He thought the new company should be given one side of the street or alley and kept there against the day when the sewers will be needed. and at the time he thought the centers should be made sacred to sewer purposes.

COMING FAIR BIGGEST EVER Racing Stakes Will Exceed
 Those of Minnesota Fair COPPER STAKE ASSURED Announcement of Racing
 Schedule --- Two 5000
 Purses For Arizona Horses.
 Commission Will:M cet ard
 Organize Today.

Hugh Campbell, of Flagstaff, re. gently appointed fair commissioner. arrived here last night, and B. A. Packard will be here today, when the commission will hold a meeting and organize. J. C. Adams, the other member of the commission, was seen yesterday regarding the Arizona Cop per stake race for s10,O00. He said that he is now fully assured that the money will be raised, although he has not had time yet to take the matter up with anybody outside of this county except in such letters as he has written. He. expects to visit Bisbee, Douglas and other parts of the territory in a few days. but is so much encouraged by the way people here have subscribed that he has no longer any doubt that the stake will be a success.
 He has received a letter from Will l.. Clark, of Jerome, who says he will take up the matter of contri- button to the stake with Charles Clark, who is expected in Jerome very soon and of course wil recommend liberality. The Occidental Life In- surance company, an Arizona and New Mexico home organization. has contributed s1OO to the stake. For mer Commissioner T. F. Pollock has come through with a like amount, and altogether MT. Adams feels as jubilant as anybody could over the project.
 The racing list for the fair has been made up and totals S27.60O, in- cluding the copper stake. This is more money than has been offered this year by the Minnesota state fair at Hamlin, this being recog- nized. as the biggest state fair in the world. Just for comparison, and to show what sort of company Ari- zona is breaking into it may be mentioned that the Minnesota fair buildings are valued at approximate ly s1.000,O0O, and the legislature at the last session appropriated $2O0.- 900 for a new grand stand. The average attendance of paid admis- sions last year at Hamlin was be- tween SO,OO0 and 9O.0OO people daily
 With Arizona offering more money for racing than the Minnesota state fair there will certainly be disap- pointment if the big wide world does not sit up and take notice. It will be heralded abroad that Arizona is at the top of the list and if there are any fast horses left in the United States that are out for the money they will surely line up for the
