Marksmen the Two Shooung de Pol About manship. RAP SHOOTING, which has proven an e, xcellent substitute for summer gunning, has grown with such favor during the past few years that gun clubs have been formed in almost every large city and town in ‘he country. The substitute is espe- €ially good for persons fond of summer recrea- tion with the gun but whose business will not permit them to leave and go into the country fora gunning trip. The sport has grown so popular that the clubs now being formed are composed of the best people in the land, who enjoy an evening now and then at target shoot- ing on a field adjacent to or within easy access of the city. This sport possesses attractions which none other possesses, and in its pursuit its lovers spend 4 profitable hour or two after their day’s labor that rests they tired minds without much labor and with but little expense. It also has & tendency to prevent the wholesale slaughter of birds ont of the regular gunning season, which has been done so much of late years that the song bird in the woods during the summer time is a scarce dfticle, and if a halt is not soon called the presence of the song bird to enliven the woods bids fair to be « thing of the past. —-__. THE BIRDS ARE GIVEN A CHANCE. With the present inercasing interest in trap shooting the minds of hundreds and even thou- sands of gunners will be diverted from the woods to the trap courts and the birds will be given an excellent opportunity to again muiti- ply aud make merry the pretty parks and pic- Bic grounds about the suburbs. As in every- thing else, in trap shooting certain rules and practices must be observed to make the sport an enjoyable success, For instance, in order to obtain good results and satisfaction great care should be exercised in the selection of the gun. Most trapshooters prefer a heavy gun. Then the size of the cha-ge or load is another mestion to be considered by the persou using the gun. Another important feature about trap shoot- ing is to know exactly how the gun shoots, and this is only to be learned from a practical test. And one test is not enough. The gun should be tested with various sized loads. DON'T SHUT ONE EYE. In the use of the gun many persons close ons eye, which causes dodging and flinching and the expert gunners say often causes bad shots, Most of the good marksmen, it is claimed. shoot with both eyes open and it enables them to caloulate distances better and take better aim. In short it doubles their chances for a good record. The position of the trap and of the marks- Wan are important things’to be considered. ‘There are at present only two gun clubs in this city. They are the National Gun Club and the Capital City Gun Club. The National Ciub is a consolidation of the East Washington and Columbia Clubs, and has among its members some of the best marks- men in the country. Its members boast that they have challenged their competitors and have received responses which to. them were amusing. as on each oceafion the challenge was not refused but the issue stated was plainly dodged. THE NEW SHOOTING CLUB. ‘The new club was organized in March of the present year and holds regular monthly meet- ings on the second Tuesday of each month, There are now sixty-four names on the ciub’s roster and others expected to be added at the next meeting. The roster iucludes the names of Burridge Wilson, president; B. L. Osborn. vice presi- dent; Wiliam Waguer, captam; Dr. Frank Geddis. secretary; William Rothwell. treasurer. The other members are William Steele, John B. Peyton, Philip Steubner, Edward Land- yoight, Jas. H. Smith, John Torney, Thos. F. Doyle, Jos. Peyton, L. P. Pumphrey, Frank Schroth, Prof. Jobn P.

WILSON. Burridge Wilson. pres- ident of the club, is thirty-four years ‘old anda native of Michi gan, but has resided here for twelve years. He is probably one of the fondest men for bird and target shooting in the District and al- though he has but one hand he is considered one of the best shots among the professional when an opportunity presented he never fai to do what he to promote its best inter- ests. He was born in London and has handled the gun for the past TREAS. WM. ROTHWELL. twenty-five years, al- though he hasdone but little target or trap thooting. Wm. steele and Wm. Rothwell, jr., young Washingtonixns, have made excellent records and will soon rank among the professionals John Tourney, although only twenty-one years old, has become one of the crack shots ot the club, THE TWO SHOOTING FIELDS. This club is lucky in that it has two fields where its members meet for practice and record shooting. The record shooting is all done on Popiar Hill, which 18 a short distance east of the navy yard, and is situated so high above the river as to make it an exceedingly pleasa: place for cinb meetings. The sh oting ground overlooks the Eastern branch and is so situated that there is no danger of stray shots injuring any one. TI ecord shooting is generally eon Fr afternoons after 4 o'clock. The other field is in what is known as May- hew'x meadow, which is at the eastern end of B street northeast. id is not easy of ac cess, but many of the field shots prefer it to Poplar Hill because they now and then scare up a flock of birds and bag a good number of them, ‘The last record shooting of the club was held at Poplar Hill tast Monday, and the following are the scores ont of a possible 20: P. Steubner, 9; John B. Peyton. 18; B. V Kothweli, 17; Dr. Frank Schroth, 17: Mr. King, 17; Wm. Steel 16; C. Landvoigt. 16; John Ruppert, 13; J. Boudren, 13; L. P. Pumphrey, 12, and vorgt. 12. Messrs, Landvoigt and Henault used strange guns, which accounts for their not mak- ing larger scores than they did, Mr. Steubner gave an exhibition of his skill on double birds, ten doubles all sprung from different traps, ‘no two pulled alike. and he made 14 out of ‘a possible 20. HOW THE TRAPS ARE MANAGED, The traps for throwing the targets are ar- ranged in arow, and near where the shooter stands the man in charge of the trap strings stands ready to pull the cord and send the tar- ng into the air at his sayso. ‘The having loaded his gun in readiness to shoot at the target, says to the man in charge. n instart later he gives the and a target of composition rep resenting a bird is sent flying through the air. but which way it is going the marksman does not know, and he must, consequently. be quick enough to turn and shoot in either direction, as required by the course of the target. ‘The targets are made of a compo as frail and brittle as a pipestem, and when struck by even a small number of shot they are almost sure to break, so that the marksman seldom, if ever, fails to get his score when any shot from the gun has struck the target. Some Virtues of the French Woman. From the St. Louis Republic. English women do not compare well with Frenchones. The latter is civilized, the other is on the road to it, with the odds againet her getting there. Her idea of witis « practical joke; her idea of aiter-dinner conversation is an off-color story he has few big virtues and uo little ones, The French woman would die for acause or a belief, would work for it, would intrigue for it, and would be capyble of enduring almost anything for the sake of 4 friend. She understands the art of «mail talk without indulging in a scandal, and goowp. to her, pos- sesses nO attraction unless it is witty; for veauty, brains and brawn she hus « great ad- miration, but she can be gentic and kind, sweet and sympathetic where none exists. She reverences bivod, and an impoverished lJady trom the Faubourg 1 treated as a guest of honor where millionaires whose titles are re- cent are counted of lithe worth. Ihe Ameri- can woman is nearer tothe French than is the English, but even the American woman might imitate her in some respects advantageously. Here are some of her virtues: She looks well, which means not in a fussy way, after her household. She is the best of mothers and the most af- fectionate of daughters. She is patient with her husband, giving him asmile when she knows he deserves some- thing else, but believing that it 18 always a bet- ter weapon than a cross word. She can taik for ons hour ina pleasaut wa: about things and places aud never say @ dis- agreeable word about peop! She may be the center of attraction at the dinner table or in the ball room, and she is beautifully unconscious of it. She can wear a cottou frock so well that you will wonder why you ever thought silk or velvet worth cou She shows respect for every man’s religion; all that she shudders at is lack of it, She has read the last new book, sen the last new picture, heard the last new upera, but if you haven't she never makes you consciuus of her greater advantages. She rules in a country where Salic law does not exist, and rules by making her sons adore her, her father love her, and ber husband re- spect her. ee age ee Wolfhounds and Bloodhounds. From the Detroit Free Press. It is now certain that the dog show at the Detroit exposition will be the largest and most important ever held in the west. Several ex- traordinary entries have just been booked. Among them is a pack of Siberian wolfhounas, imported for use on sheep ranches in Texas and New Mexico, where wolves are very numer- ous, very large aud very destructive. Thi breed of dogs has never before been exhibited in America. They closely resemble gigantic greyhounds and ure nearly twice as large as greyhounds, with hair much the same as St. Bernards. They are extraordinarily ficet, fierce and powerful. The least dog ig, the pack is warranted singly to catch and ‘kill the most powerful wolf ever wheiped. They are bred and sed exclusively for hunting the large and fierce ‘Siberian NEXT WEEK’S CONVENTION. ‘The Meeting of the Photographers’ As- sociation of America—What Will be Done at the Sessions—T! Memorial and the Sculptor. — a CATTERED here and there throngh wg some oof the older houses of this progressive country one runs across jan old daguerrotype once in awhile. These peculiar portraits are now re- garded with almost as much curiosity by by the generation used to cabinet portraits and snap-shot detective cameras as they were by the generation that lived fifty years ago, when they were first produced, but by nothing like the wonder. Photography is now fifty years old—or, to be more exact, fifty-one—for it was a little over a ha!f century ago that Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, ascene painter in one of the theaters of Paris, made his wonderful discovery that has chained the sun and revolu- tionized art. And now, with the fruits of his discovery at their fullest bloom, the pho- tographers of modern times are about to erect 4 monument to the memory of the father of their skill, the founder of their profession. THE MEMORIAL. Next Tuesday the Photographers’ Association of America will meet in the lecture hall of the National Museum in its eleventh annual ses- sion, and this occasion is to be utilized for the noble purpose of giving to the first photogra- pher of the worid a memorial worthy of his work and the value of his discovery. ‘This me- isin the form of 4 monument eleven height, made of granite aud bronze, representing Fame fastening around the medal lion head of Daguerre a wreath that also en- circles the globe, thus signifying the universal Denetits of his gift to civilization. The bust oceupies a position on top of a pedestal of stone and just below the sphere, the face of the pedestal is the discoverer’s name. Thi monument is to _be erected in the cen- ter hall of the National Museum, where all vis- itors to this shrine of science nnd art and in- dustry may see it, It was first designed to stand in frontof the building on the green = beyond the asphalt walk, but later decision has placed it inside the structure as being more appropriately an indoor monument. It has uot yet been received from the hands of the sculptor, but will undoubtedly be in time for the unveiling, which is to take place on Fri- day. The photographers decided to erect this moutment at their last meeting, which was held in Boston a year ayo. J. F. Ryder of Clevelend, Ohio, was the mover of the resolu- tion providing for this memorial, and it was passed with enthusiasm, uuder the sole con dition that the cost was not to exceed €10,Ub0. Competitive designs were offered by various sculptors, and that of Mr. J. Scott Hartley of New York was adopted by the committee appointed to take this matter in charge, Com- mittees were appoiuted in the larger cities to aid in the raising of funds for the payment ot the cost of the monument, that in this city being composed of Mersrs. J. Pullman, Thos, W. Smillie, A. A. Adee, A. Dickinson Jewett and Dr, Grifliths of the navy. These gentle- men have been hard at work for months trying to raise the proper proportion of money in Washington, but not with general success, The fact that the city was selected at the Boston convention as the next meeting place has not been altogether satistactory to some of the local followers of Daguerre, and there has not been that amount of interest and enthusiasm in the event that would possibly have charac- terized its holding somewhere else. Messrs. Adee and Griffiths of the Washington com- mittee being out of the city their places on the committee were filled some time ago by the appointment of Messrs, M. B. Brady and Edgar Richards, THE ASSOCIATION AND ITS OBJECTS, The association under whose auspices this fitting tribute toa pioneer is being made is composed of both amateur and professional photographers, although the latter clase is largely in the majority. Amateurs have been entering the body only of late years, though the constitution has never contained any pro- hibition on them to keep them out. Several members of the Washington Camera Club have lately become members of the larger bod: The objects of the association are as follows The advancement of the art of photography the elevation of the professional character of its devotees; the establishment of a higher and more perfect system of conducting the busi- ness; the promotion of friendly intercourse; unity of methods which points to the greater success of photography as an art; the diffusion of scientific knowledge among its members by | ucation or proper trainn entitied “Nearing the Goal,” value. $225.

THE WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. The Daguerre memorial to be unveiled Fri- day is the second that has been erected in commemoration of the Frenchman's gift to science, The other is a bust that was erected several years ago by popular subscription at Cormeilles, near Paris, the birth place of the discoverer. ‘The advent of Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre took place in 1787, during a period of the greatest politieal excitement, amid which the boy was sadiy neglected, He showed an early taste for painting, and solely through his own efforts achieved while still a youth # reputation as a skillful scene painter. In 1822 he opened # diorama in aris, for which he pated pictures on a col sssal scale, In the sketches from nature which he made a studies for these immense paintings Le fre- quentiy employed the camera obscura, which Was then very popular, especially among the wealthy classes, who could afford to establish this device on the hills belonging to their country estate. It was probably the remark- able beauty and perfection of these camera obscura pictures which caused the young scene [patetd to attempt the discovery of some means »y which they could be permanently retained, Daguerre was absolutely without sei ntifie ed- for such work, but his ambition seems to have been indomitable, He began his experiments about 1824, and during the next two or three years he devoted himself so absolutely to the work that his friends began to fear for his health, and it is said that his wife consulted a physician as to her —husband’s sanity. Nothing could tempt him from his experiments, uor would he allow any one to share them with him, in 1826, through his friend Chevalier, Daguerre heard of that other experimentor who was pur- suing the same line of investigation, and who, it is said, really did more for photography than Daguerre hiniself—Joseph Nicephore Niepce, in 1529 a purtuership was established by which it Was agreed that each should communicate to the other all the seer of his investigation and that each should share equally in the pro- ceeds from their discoveries. ‘This partnership continued until after the death of Niepce, whose son Isidor took the place of his father. The publication of the daguerreotype process was made in 1839. Year after year the young scene puinter hud been toiling after his goul, He fiually was led to his discovery by an acc dent, He knew that iodide of silver on a pol- ished copper plate was sensitive to light and that when such iodized silver plates were ox- posed in the camera faint images of bright ob- jects were impressed upon them in the course of two or three hours, but these images would gradually fade gway and could not be retained by any means then known to investigators, One day Daguerre removed from his camera aplate which, either from the shortness of ex- posure to the light or the darkness of the day, showed no sign of an image. He laid this plate aside ina cupboard, intending to clean the surface and use it some time again. What was his surprise ou taking out the same plate the next morning to find upon its surtace a dis- tinct and perfect picture. Another plate was quickly exposed for an equally short time in the camera and again placed in the magic eup- board to remain over night, and on going to it the second morning he discovered another equally beautiful picture. ‘The question now was which of the numerous chemicals stored in this cupboard produced the marvelous effect. He finally learned, by taking out one chemical each day, that it wasa dish of mercury whose vapors produced the magical result, and he at once proceeded to apply the discovery in a practical way. Daguerre’s process was really discovered in 1835, and it was in that yoar that he tried to organize a company to buy and work the new method. The Parisian public, however, were utterly incredulous. and the shares could not be sold. In this extremity Daguerro showed his specimens and explained his method, in confidence, to the eminent French astronomer, Arago, who showed the greatest enthusiasm over the new process. As aman of world-wide scientific reputation, his indorsement of the discovery at once established its worth, and it was an exsy matter for him to obtain from the French government the life pension which was lator awarded. Daguerre placed a written Large sums of money are expended each year in making subdivisions of land. These expenditures are entirely independent of the purchase money. ‘The latter is the first outlay, and then comes the next item of expense, which is the cost of grading, opening streets, &c. The increase in the size of the latter item is one of the noticeable features of recent suburban subdivision. There used to be « time when the Innd was purchased, a plot recorded and in some way the location of the streets indicated on the ground. Perhaps in a moment of extrava- gance the owners would order a number of painted board signs bearing the names of the streets to be set up and then he would sell off the lots and turn his attention to something else. The elaborate system of grading and bringing the streets down to the level and making them of the same width and ona line with those in the city are features of suburban subdivision which have only become prominent within the past few years, Under the old sys- tem these subdivisions were regarded as de- fects in the landscapes, and certainly they could lay no claim to beauty. But now it really adds to the attractiveness of the suburbs to have the land laid out with all the care that is bestowed ona fine lawn, The streets are rounded up and finished with paved gutters like park streets. Neat sidewalks are put down with grass lots on both sides and a row oi growing trees. The terraces,when there are any, are sodded and their cool slopes attract the eye of the passer by. All this costs money, but it does not rep- resent either the entire work or expenditure. For nowadays the suburban resident wants water in his house, and so beneath the sur- face of the ground water pipes are laid and sewer pipes. Then he is supplied wit elec- tric lights or gaslight, and in not a few in- stances these suburban streets are paved with asphalt, just like the city streets, It is true that in proportion to the subdivisions already laid out the old style prevails to a larger ex- tent than the new style of making a suburban subdivision, But this only indicates that to a certain extent the era of mere speculation has passed, and now the period of solid improve- ments has been ushered in, Of course land is still being subdivided without much regard for the future, except in the particular where the law compels the laying out of streets to con- form with the plan of the city. Nevert the movement is very sensibly in the dir. of permanent homes in the suburbs. To only mention the more recent subdivisions a visit to Eckington, to Kalorama, to Washington Heights and to Cleveland Heights will show at a glance the new style in which the suburban subdivisions are being done, THE CITY IN THE COUNTRY. If the projectors carry out their plans the subdivision of Oak View will be of a similar character. A short distance south, on the Ten- leytown road, there is work in progress on the subdivision known as Fairview Heights. Fine roads are to be made, sidewalks put down, water and sewer pipes laid and, in order to give the proposed new settlement a start. some cottages are going to be built, A similar work 18 in progress at Tunlaw Heights, which is lo- cated on the crestof the hill overlooking Georgetown, The gentlemen interested in these enterprises claim that they are making arrangements so that people who build homes there will not be deprived of the conveniences of city hfe. In two of the subdivisions men- tioned asphalt pavements have been put down on some of the streets. One of the streets in another is to be paved in the same style, and there is no doubt that this kind of pavement will become more general in the suburbs. ‘The amount of money that is invested im the purchase of the land and then the expenditures for improvements before sales are made are of course far in excess of anything that was ev thought of fifteen years ago, when the work of suburban subdivision was beginning. ‘The prices, however, have advanced, and now where 50 cents is asked for land 10 cents was then the top price. As much as $2 4 square foot has been paid for land outside of the city limits, But in such cases the land was just adjoining and practically an addition to the city, In Kalorama land is held at high prices, the Massachusetts avenue lots selling at $2 and upward. Un Washington Heights a large block was recently purchased for 90 cents per foot and there have been sales at $1.25 per foot. Recently $1.25 was paid for two lots fronting on 1ith street ex- tended just south of Justice Harlan’s house. These prices will serve to show that while more money is being expended in making sub- divisions higher prices are obtained for the lots. In fact in the suburbs as well as in the city conditions are changing rapidly and busi- nexs and private lite are being expanded to meet the wants of a growing population. IN THE REAL ESTATE OFFICES. The bright young men who are employed in realestate offices are trying their 'prentice hands as real estate agents just now. While their employers are the sea side and the mountains they endeavor to hold up the Wash- ington end of the business, and in_ their opin- ion they get along a good deal better than when the really truly real estate agent is at home. It is true that the business at this sea- son of the year is not rushing. Somehow money has a dislike to warm weather and when the heated season begins it seeks cooler climes, The investors are not numerous and the real estate offices have anair of rest and repose that is not altogether unpleasant at this time of the year. ‘Ihe young men in charge are clad in light.cool-looking garments and leaning back in the office chairs usually occupied by the members of the firm they receive the casual visitor with dignity and impart large areas of information in such an impressive style that the listener feels as if he had been Presented with a lot worth at least $2 per square foot. ‘The young man is apt to receive with a sneer any intimation that the business is likely to suffer because of the absence of his boss, ‘‘When he is at home,” the young man is free to state, “he has to come to me when he wants to know anything about the business, If I could only catch on to these big fellows and induce them to invest as my boss oes then the business would not need him at all.” From which remark the inference is plain that the real estate agent is only a drummer for the The coolest point on the island facing inlet and ocean Accommoration 300 gueste.
