NEW YORK, July 25.-American
sharpshooters have again demonstrated
their superiority to the marksmen of
other nations. this time in an inter-
national match held recently in Pc
king. The contestants were picked
men from the legation guards of all
the nations represented in the Chinese
capital. The score sheets have just
been received by officials at the navy
yard here.
There were two matches, one being
officers team of two men each, the
other being enlisted men teams of
three each. In the officers match the
highest score was made by the Ameri-
can representatives Captain j. Hol-
combe, jr., and Lieutenant L. w. T.,

erent result. Mclaughlin is certain to
win from the national champion some
time, and that the time will be in the
near future there is little doubt. Lar
ned plays a great game, but his style
of play is the style of ten years ago
and not to be compared with the rush
ing, forcing style of today. McLough-
lin has been fighting at a great dis
advantage on account of being unac-
customed to the turf, and when he has
had a season or two on the green the
national title will seem much nearer
than at the present time.

RIFLE TOURNEY To
Be HELD IN OHIO
RifIemen Will Assemble at Camp
Perry on Lake Erie,
. August 8
MANY CUPS ARE THE PRIZES
GuardSmen, Policemen and Indi-
.ViduaI MarkSmen Will Par
tiCipate in Match

WASHINGTON. July 25.-Beginning
August 8. Camp Perry, Ohio, will be
the center of interest for all American
rihemen. Commencing that day and
for eighteen days thereafter there will
be shot the greatest series of rifle and
revolver matches ever held in this
country. Three organizations combine
their matches to make the meeting a
great success. They are the national
board for the promotion of rifle prac-
tice, the National Rife association of
America and the Ohio Rifle association.
The state Of Ohio supplies the range
and the government gives a large sum
of money for prizes in the national
match, and a large number of gold,
silver and bronze medals, and also
furnishes the officers and men to run
off the national board and National Ri
file association matches. The national
guard of each state and territory is en-
titled to send a team, whose expenses
are charged up to the money appropri-
ated by congress for rifle practice in
that state or territory, and almost
every state and territory which has a
national guard is represented at the
matches. In addition, there are a large
number of individual shots who at
tend at their own expense and compete
for the rich prizes in the individual
matches.
THE CONTESTS
Among the leading events of the
tournament are the national team, the
national individual and the national
pistol watches, which are the distinct
ly governmental matches, the first be-
ing confined to teams of twelve men
and the second and third being open
to any rifle or revolver shot who wishes
to compete. other great matches are
the Herrick, Catrow, adjutants gen.
eral, governors, Wimbledon and Leech
cups, marine corps; presidents, Ev-
ans sl<irmish, Hall, Peters individual
skirmish DUPONT individual tyro, and
the team and individual matches for
the police forces of the various cities.
Competitors are supplied with their
tents and cots and mattresses free Of
charge, but are expected to furnish
their own blankets Meals are supplied
to the members of the state teams
without cost and to other individuals at
80 cents each.
Camp Perry is located on the south
shore of Lake Erie twenty-ninc miles
east Of Toledo and eighteen miles west
of Sandusky, being thus within reach
of such popular resorts as Cedar Point
and PUTIN Bay. 1t is an ideal camp
ground, thoroughly drained and sup
plied with filtered water The shooting
being toward the north, the light could
not be better, and the 236 rifle and
revolver targets, all arranged so that
common firing point can be used,
give it an equipment unequaled and
scarcely approached by any other
range in the United states.

BURNS IS WILLING TO
BATTLEF0R 35 PER CENT

SEATTLE, Wash, July 25-Tommy
Burns, who is in Seattle, denies the
statement published in New York that
the match between Burns and Sam
Langford, scheduled to take place in
London in September, has been called
off by Promoter Hugh Mcintosh be-
cause Burns demanded $4,000 more
than the amount he originally agreed
to battle for.
Il told Mcintosh at Reno after
johnson had agreed to meet me again
that l would fight Johnson for 80 per
cent of the gross receipts" said Burns
today. Il figured that Johnson, being
the champion, would get about 40 per
cent. Then | wired Mcintosh that 1
wanted 40 per cent of the receipts to
meet Langford, but that l was still
willing to tackle Johnson for 35 per
cent of the gate"

QUALIFIED.

The other day in the suit which
Mrs. Alexander McVeigh Miller is
bringing for the alienation of her
husbands affections, she announced
that the had found the erstwhile re-
publican statesman between the ham
dies of pillow and by her literary
skill and work had afforded him the
opportunity to advance himself. She
declared that in spite of the fact that
he was ibertine, and rascal and
thief, and almost every thing that
he should not be, he had become a
leader in the republican party. and
that she had given him the opport-
unity to make himself.
The attorney who was defending
the woman Mrs. Miller was sueing.
began his statement by saying: Mrs.
Miller has declared that her husband
bacame leader in the republican
party And she has made it very
evident that he has every one of the
necessary attributes
At this point the speech was inter
rupted by an appreciative crowd
Charleston Gazett.
Don't blame Alex" too much,
for is he not very like the rest of them.
Don't all the great leaders of the
party within the State of West vir-
ginia possess the same necessary re-
quirements that Alex hasa Why
blame Alex so much, and let the
others escape condemnation

Aldrich and Cannon are abe plans
and policies of President Taft. The
Insurgents insist that they want
tariff reform, and that the party in
teresss demand it; the Regulars
pretend that they want tariff reform,
but they know that the special in
terests do not want it. Plainly it is
fight between the people and the
interests, and if there be a Mason
County Republican who believes
with the Insurgents that there
should be tariff reform. honesty and
economy in governmental matters,
and desires to serve his country
e#ectualIy, then he must make war
on the White House policies, and
against Aldrichism and cannonism.

CLEAN STABLES.

During the Spring and Summer
months usually close vigilance should
be kept upon stables in the city,
with view to the utmost cleanliness
so that the danger of implanting the
city with flies may be eliminated as
far as possiable.-stables are ex-
traordinary breeding places for flies
when not properly kept and may be-
come the indirect medium for the
propagation ofrelatively more disease
than perhaps anything else the SAN
itary work of the health department
has to contend with. Experiments
by the Bureau of Entomology at
Washington have proved that stable
manure is practically the only sub.
stance in which flies can be artifcally
bred.

HAVENS NOT DAzzLED.

Rochester, N. Y; April IS
James S. Ravens announced today
that he was content with delivering
the Thirty-second congressional dis
trict from the hands of republican
boss, . and that he would not accept
denomination for the office of con-
gresham, to which he was elected
yesterday by nearly 5000 plurality.
Il feel" said Mr.. Ravens, Chat
l have done enough for the party in
overturning the political machine
that has ruled Monroe county for
the last 90 years. 1t is now some
body else's turn" He went on to
say that for personal and profess
ional reasons it would be impossible
for him to serve in congress after the
EXPIRATION OF the present session.
Regarding boom for governor
launched today by one of the news
papers that supported him, Mr.. Hav-
ems was silent. His friends however,
say that he is not dazzled by his
widely hearlded victory and has no
desire for public Office. Such an
attitude, however, has only whetted
the determination of the victorious
democrats to keep him in public life.
They assert that the man who turned
republican plurality of more than
10000 votes into a democratic
plurality of nearly 5000 and defeat
ed one of the most strongly intrench-
ed political leaders in the country is
too valuable to be spared.

COUNTY ROADS.

Now is the season Of the year for
fixing public roads, 50 that they may
be made passable during the entire
summer. The County Court should
demand that every overseer use a
road scraper or drag so as TO make
the roads smooth. If this is done
before the dry season sets in, the
public roads throughout the county
can be put IN frst-class condition at
almost nominal expense. What is
the use of having an overseer who
does not attend to his duty That
duty is to get his roads in the best
possible condition, and that, too, in
the most economical way. What is
the use of delaying things that should
be attended to at oncea Why not
require the the oyerseers to do some
thing that will be to interest of
every man, woman and child who
travel the public roads. If the public
roads are not made good, it is be-
cause the County Court has not re-
CURED the overseer to do his duty,
or because the overseer has neg
lected to do what the County Court,
and the people, expect him to do.
Let US have good roads. 1t is the
best thing that can be done for the
betterment of the condition of any
county, and it should be a pleasure
to everyone to see that it is done.

SUDDEN pEATH.

From time to time the shadow Of
sudden death falls with Startling un-
expectedness upon some happy home.
A member of the family, who, in the
morning, went forth, seemingly
strong and well to discharge his
daily duties, is at some fateful hour
of the day, brought back sadly and
silently to his bereayed family. Or
it may be. the stroke falls on one of
the dear ones at home, from whom
he tenderIy parted IN the morning.
Sudden death brings grievous sorrow
to the beloved survivors. 1t teaches
US the frailty and uncertainty of life.
But to those who have learnt the
lesson of life alright and who find
themselves thus quickly beraft of one
who faithfully strove to walk not
after the flesh, but after the spirit,
the dark cloud is not withouta silver
lining The sharp pain of sorrow is
relieved by the remembrance of the
faithful promise of Gods blessed
Word and above all by the soothing
ministrations ofthe Comforter, Whose
sustaining power is never more stron-
ly felt than on such trying occasions.
The true manner of preparing for
last moment, says Fenelon, 'i is to
spend all the others well, and ever to
expect that. We dote upon this
world, as if it never were to have an
end; and We neglect the next, as if
it were never to have beginning. -
