Bandits are getting to be so polite
they will soon rob only upon invita-
ton.
r. G. Dyernforth, former commits
sioner for patents of the United States,
writes to New York World this inter-
esting letter: 81 was soldier in the
war from 81 to 'e5 and have never
voted anything but the republican
ticket. | do no think the democratic
party has any more sense now than 1T
ever had, but l think the republican
party has less and is responsible for
the present miseries-high prices, ETC.
so am satisfied that the next con-
gress will be dem ocratic, and believe
that the next president of the United
States will be democrat 1t costs the
people too much to live under republi-
canlsm. We have to suffer to live. We
don't want another rising OF the peo-
pie as in the French reign Of terror"

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-President

INDOOR RIFLE
EXPERTS MEET
ANNUAL TOURNEY TO BE HELD
IN PITTSBURG
Rapid Fire Match Is One of Most Im-
portant Events Scheduled,
and Numerous Prizes
Offered

PITTSBURG. Jan. 22.-Unusual in
terest is being. manifested among RI
flemen over the fifth annual indoor ri
1e tournament which is to be held
here under the auspices of the Twenty
two Caliber Rifle league of America
from February 1 to February u. 1t
is at this tournament that the promi-
nent riflemen of the country will COM
pete for indoor honors. An interesting
fact that concerns rilemen alone is
that the money prizes to be awarded
are larger this year than ever before.
Nearly $4,000 will be divided among the
winners of the various events. Be-
sides the cash prizes there will be 9TH
ers, such as merchandise and medal
awards.
Indoor rifle shooting is a popular
sport, and this city boasts of many
good marksmen, both in the amateur
and professional ranks. A number Of
them claim they have an excellent
chance to acquire the greater number
of prizes. One of the important events
on the program to be decided will be
the rapid-fire match. 1t has been the
case in recent tournaments that high
grade rifle shots make poor rapid-fire
shooters. For this reason it is thought
that the first prize will be captured by
a local man. In order to win the event
a marksman must make the best count
in a one-minute trial.
In the 100-shot championship match
the sum of $3.50 will be divided into
twenty cash prizes. This will be an
experts match. In this even the fol-
lowing Pittsburg men will compete:
L. p Ittel, c. A. Beam, A. j. Heub-
ner, H. r. Fox and f. l.. Haight. Ittel

OFFER OF $2SO,OOO
FOR HORSE REFUSED
Wealthy Owner of Sir Bayardo, Eng
lsh Champion 3=Year=Old,
Keeps His
Colt

LONDON. Jan. 22.-The enormous
figure of $2SO00O has been refused for
Bayardo, the champion English three
year-old, and, as far as turf history
goes, this is the record offer for a race
horse. 1t has been stated that the ami
NAL was wanted for stud purposes, bat
as Mr. Fairie, his owner, is a wealthy
man, he cared more for Bayardo than
for the money, big as the offer was
In another way, the price is record
one, especially when it is considered
that he only won the st. Leger-one
of the big races. He was unplaced in
the Two Thousand Guineas and Derby,
but his failure was attributed to his
softness of hoof. as he could not be
galloped on the hard ground of the
carly English season. When, how
ever. the ground softened and he
rounded into form, not a three-year-
old or horse of any age in England
could be found to extend him.
Bayardo headed the list of winning
horses on the English turf with a to-
tai of $133, 1885, and as a 2-year-old
he made nearly $4,000, which brings
his total figure up to date to over
5000 900. This, added to the price re-
fused for him now, leaves him the
most valuable horse ever foaled.

CHANGE METHODS OF
FOOTBALL TRAINING

PRINCETON. n. j., Jan 22.-The
football authorities at Princeton uni
versity will inaugurate a new system
Of training for football candidates this
spring. They nave come to the eonclu-
sion that the Tiger teams have not been
in the best of condition during the past
seasons, and that criticisms that the
Princeton teams lacked endurance were
only too we'll founded on facts.
TO remedy this situation, the man
agement has decided to make spring
training as compulsory as the regular
fall practice. The work selected to
build up the football men will start
after the mid-year examinations and
will consist of cross-country running.
They win begin the work at short dis
tances, increasing the chase as the men
round into shape. 1t is expected that
the systematic training will accom-
plish much toward building a strong,
speedy squad, and do away with most
of the early season lack of condition.

ONE PUNCH ENOUGH
TO WIN, SAYS JEFF
Declares That He Will Drop Negro

Denies the Story of
Sponge

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The Jeffries
adherents throughout the country are
thoroughly aroused over the report
that it is planned to prevent Johnson
scoring a clean knockout when these
heavyweights battle next July. The
story that Jeffries' advisers will throw
up the sponge or do something that
will disqualify Jeffries if he is on the
verge of a beating has caused howl
that has been heard by Jeffries in the
far west.
Jeffries has wired his friends that
the story is being circulated by john
sons friends with the object of kill
ing" his all-star vaudeville show.
He wants people to believe that l
am not fit to fight him" wires Jeffries.
But this is a deliberate lie. Johnson
to win must knock me cold. l will not
have it said that / was dragged from
the ring to avoid beating. But that
nigger never can win from me. I'll
give him the worst pounding that a
man ever received. In my previous
fights L always held back some steam,
because L was afraid of manning my
opponent With Johnson, however, l
am not going to hold back anything.
He will receive the limit and just one
punch will lay him so low he won't
