SHOOTING IN MEXICO.

(Army and Navy Jurnal-)
 Describing his experiences in Mex ico, where he has resided for 1T years, M H. Carpenter, former superinten- dent of an oil company at Tanpico, said:
 There is one very good reason why the rebels are licking the federals; they are better shots. Most of the rebels are volunteers fighting for a purpose, and their heart is in their aim. They are mostly from the northern states, too, and the people of those states are all hunters. The federals are largely conscrfpts and most of them wish they could get out of it. The result is that they point their gun in the general direction of where the rebels are supposed to be and whang away. With the repeat ing rifles they use there is tre- mendous waste of ammunition.
 We used to estimate that the feder- als wasted TO per cent more cart ridges than the rebels. The Mexican temperament enters into this also. If a Mexican is making a whole lot of noise, so much that he sounds to him self like a whole battle. he thinks that he 1s safe and repulsing the en- emy. and most times he is, too.~

FAIRFIELD

One of the most popular resorts for the tired resident of Bridgeport is the dance hall and bathing pavilion run by the Fairfield Pavilion company at the foot of Penf1eld avenue in Fair field. Situated on the sound, the de- Hghtful sea breezes prove an attrac- tion that is irresistible to those who enjoy the bathing or those who like dancing, but dislike the stuffy dance halls of the city.
 The beach is one of the best in Fair field county. The ride on the troll ley during the warm weather does not come amiss, and the plunge in the cooling waters of the sound proves an attraction that is hard to resist. The surroundings are beautiful. Many handsome residences line the way, and the tree-nned lanes furnish the au- tomobiHst ideal drive.
 The dancing pavilion is one of the most up-to-date and handsome in this section Within easy reach of the city, it offers an ideal dance. No stuffy rooms. for the cooling breezes from the sound makes it one Of the most delightful places to be found in the summer. It is rapidly becoming the mecca of Bridgeport dance enthusi- asts. A number of lodges of this city will hold dances there within the near future.
 Charles Collins, dancing teacher of this city, will give dances every We'd nesday and Saturday evening during the season. On next Tuesday night, a, dance will be given at the pavilion by Bridgeport society, while. on Thursday evening of next week dance will be given by the Operatic society of this city. A number of Bridgeport societies will give dances at the pavilion in the near future and it promises to become one of the most popular resorts in this section, On July 3rd members of the Elizabeth Seton Guild will give a dance there.

STOCK.HOL OF BOSTON f'L" KEEP
 THEIR HOLDINGS
(Barron FinanciaI News)

The larger stockholders of Boston Elevated Railway have with very few exceptions retained their holdings in tact throughout the year from April 1, 1913 to April 1, 1914. On the former date, there were 97 share holders owning 300 or more shares and of these only disposed of any part of their holdings during the year, the total reduction being but 1908 shares. F1fty-four shareholders in creased their interest; shareholding of S2 were unchanged while z per sons who were not on the list as large stockholders last year appear this year as holders of 5,260 shares.
 Under the contract which leading express companies hold with rail- road systems the latter received an average of slightly more than 50 per cent of the receipts of the express companies. There is some divergence in the allowances made, as indicated for instance by the contract Boston & Maine holds with the American Express Company in which the road receives but 35 per cent of gross re- ceipts. This contract is obviously not satisfactory to the railroad company and it is believed that an effort will be made to obtain a greater returns
 In 1918, express business contribut- ed S,536,1S6 to railroad revenues which amounted to about 3 1-2 per cent of the total revenues. In the
 
 railroad revenues was 2.6O per cent.
 The perennial rumor of the forth coming dividends on Central Leather common is being heard again but it may be stated on good authority that directors are not seriously considering action of this kind at this time. Earnings of the company may war rant a common dividend but paying a dividend at a time when the shoe industry is suffering from marked de- precision, is something that the man agement of the company is not keenly anxious to do. The probability is that Central Leather directors will follow a conservative course and that common stockholders will receive their recognition in December when the results of the eleven months will have been made known.

WILL NOTE INTERFERE.
President Does Not Question Japan''
Good Faith, But Refuses to
Express opinion.

ngton.-Japan's sudden entry
into the European war situation as
factor that might quickly increase the
range OF the great conflict to the far
east commanded wide attention Mon
day both among the officials OF the
Washington government and diplomats
generally.
The attitude OF the United States
Il became clear, would be one OF non
interference in the controversy be
tween japan and Germany. This was
reflected somewhat in the studied
reticence of both President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan.
The president had been asked
early in the day whether the assur.
aEce of Japan that she would eventu.
ally restore Kiao Chau to China in
case that territory was obtained from
Germany. was regarded as satisfac.
tory here. Mr.. Wilson replied that he
saw no reason to question Japans
good faith In that connection, but
carefully refrained from expressing
any opinion on the merits of the ultt
matum or Japan's attitude.
