For five years a sufferer from Catarrh and mna- ble to breathe through her nostrils. NOW ENTIRELY CURED. STATEMENT FROM Mrs. Warren. Wasmrxotox. Jane 6, 1891. My little daughter has suffered for the Iast five years with Catarrh in her head and throat, extemiing toher bronchial tubes. Her head ‘ctely stopped up, 60 that she coukl the through her nose. There was a dropping of mucus from the back of her nasal passages into her throat, where it lodged, causing great suffering, until by vie~ lent hawking she could expel it. Her tonsils were enlarged and sore, giving her great misery. I placed her under the eare of Dr. A. FP. Lighthill, and from bis first application she experienced great relief, and from that on she continued to gain until now, when I am de lighted to be able to ny that she is cured. She can breathe as freely through her nose as though she never was affected. Her throat is perfectly well. She has gained in every way looks as bright and rosy as a well child should. I most heartily recommend Dr. Light- Lill to other sufferers, Mrs. Warren. 1626 Q st. nw.

Washington took advantage of the Colonels yesterday and increased the margin that sepa- Tates seventh from eighth place. The Colonels did not play, but the Statesmen did and Balti- more was the victim. ‘The score was3 to 0, and the Orioles are very much humbled by the re- sult. The game was played almost entirely i the rain, a slow drizzle falling after the inving and continuing untiljin the first half of the eighth, it becaine a regular grown-up rain and the umpire, Kerins, called the gam ‘The shut out was accomplished by means of some perfect fielding and some gilt-edged pitching. Foreman and McGuire and Hoaly and Townsend were the batteries. Foreman was at his best, and though he guve numerous bases on balls and hit three men he was est when men were on bases, and he let the visitors down with but three paltry and widely scattered hits. Yet he owed his success to the good support that he received, two men being cut off at the Plate after they bad been sent around by bases on balls or other gilts of the seine sort. Goon Barmy Added to this the Senators batted the ball with a freedom that must have been very nau- seating to Long Mr. Henly. Sutcliffe took ad- vantage of the occasion to make a record of three hits ont of three timesat the bat, and there is no knowing where he would havo stopped. Murphy and McCauley each hit safely twice, and the bits were all very timely. Baltimore took the bat first and did nothing. Then Washington pranced up and made a couple of runs that were as good asa million as far as winning the game went. Murphy started the thing going by lining a single over tecond base. MeGuire came to his rescuo with # hot ball that fanned the soles of Perry Wer- den’s fect and then went to the right fence, giv- ing the runner three bases. Murpby, of course, scored. and MeGuire went right on in when the ball on being returned by Johnson to Walsh, who threw badly to third to catch the batter, went to the bleacners. ‘This case of ratile was bad enough, but it was made to seem less destructive in 4 minute, when Sut- cliffe drove a safe one between third and short. He was caught napping off first, however, and putout. Curtis struck out and McCauley hit for a base past second. Then Dowd put upa ily that Perry used to fatten his record with, and the side was out. BALTIMORE MIGHT HAVE SCORED in the second had it not been for the over- eagerness of Mr. Gilbert. He was bit some- where about his anatomy by one of Foreman’s twisters and that is how he happened to be on the @ireuit. McGraw then lined out a two- bagger, on which Gilbert was cusily entitled to third, but with the greed of man, and especially a base bull man. he wanted more and in hurry to get around he overran third and was then chased own, the ball having been re- turned remarkably quickly by Curtis to Dowd, thence to Alvord. ‘This made two out and the side was easily retired when Townsend hit a grass cutter to Hatfield, who did bis duty. Washington did nothing in the second either, and Baltimore went to bat in the third with gore in sight. Healy received a smart tap on the arm by a. pitched ball, and went along to first, only to be forced at second by Mr. Welch, who hit to the infield. Welch bad stolen sec: ond when Johnson hit to left for a base and he tried to go all the way uround to the plate on the hit, but Murphy made a pretty throw of the ball and the run was demolished. NOW THE THIRD RUN WAS MAD It was in this same inning that Washington made the last run of the gnme. Murphy cut the atmosphere with « single over second that some fotks scored a double hit. The second base was reached when Welch toyed with the ball as it rolled tohim. At any rate, Lawreace Patrick reached the bag in safety, and after MeGuire had gor e to perforate Mr. Gilbert with a liner. The ball stopped before it had gone entirely through the man, but he threw it so wildly to first that Murphy scored and MeGuire reached third. Curtis put « grounder down toward Walsh, who kept hiv wits about him and threw he time to destroy McG hances of 1 Curtis went along to second and to third, but,-thongh there was but one man score, ax both Dowd and ey put groun Werden, SHARP PLAYING, Good, sharp playing in the fourth prevented any runs being made. It was raining quite persistently, but Kerins was doing very nicely and he was not at ali uncomfortable. The with fear abroad in the park. t that the game would be played out, andas Washington had a nice lead there was some tall equeczing being done against the chance of more rain than Kerins could stand. In the fifth Baltimore filled the bases through Foreman’s kindness but Foreman was putting k athemen behind him, and it was ed. The side was retired, In the as some close shaving, but no one counted. ch side was retired on a double play that came just in time to prevent the tallying of a ranuer, who was id teeeks for the rubber.

A sporting contemporary defines a “glass- arm” player as one who is drawing his salary on his past reputation. ‘The clase is Isrge and growing, but the time will come «oon when their arms will be broken and their salaries will cease. Foreman is the only Washington pitcher who has won more games than he has lost.

Mr. Ramon Velez of the Revista Popular of New York has received a letter from his agent in Granada, Nicaragua, which states that the chief of police and @ number of his soldiers were shot during the riot in that city on August 23, and that more than fifty of the citizen riot- ers were cither killed or wounded. He says that the five persons who were suspected of a movement against the government--ex-Presi- dent Chamorro, ex-President Lavala, Anselmo Rivas, director of the Nicaraguanse, and Senors Enrique Guzman and J. D. Rodriguez--were apprehonded and imprisoned in the barracks. The rioters included a number of prominent citizens: They were armed with rifles and at- tacked the barracks, fring on the garrison. It required a supreme effort on the part of the soldiers, » number of whom were killed, to repel the attack. On August 25 the five sus- pected revolutionists were tried, found guilty and condemned to perpetual exile, with the warning that they would be immediately hot if found on Nicaraguan soil. —_—_~e— GOV.

Although on tho orders of his physician he was not allowed to leave his room, a steady stream of callers poured in on him all the morning, most of whom he received. In an interview yesterday he said: “My sole object in coming cast was for the purpose of going to the seashore to rid myself of a severe attuck of malaria which has affected my entire system.

Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. Caxxpaoon, L. L, September 4, 1891. This has been aday of rest Nearly every | member of the brigade team has spent the day loafing around the hotel. Afow have gone down to the ange to watch the New York state matches now in progress. Too much shooting had worked positive injury and the cosantion seems to be working beneficially. Everyboiy feels better and the sore shoulders aro losing that nervous delicacy which has during the past two days cansed flinching and bad shots, Guessing at the probable strength of the em- pire state team has been the principal oecupa- tion, but none of the guesses have anything like a solid foundation, because no one really knows who the individuals are that will do bat- tle with the District of Columbia tomorrow. The selections are invariably postponed until the last moment, so that competing teams may have no opportunity for comparison until the | struggle is over. So far as Washingtor®is con- cerned twelve determined men will face the targets in the morning, cach individual bent oniloing the bust he knows how. Accident or nervousness may spoil a score or. two, but | these things are frequently compensated for by some other man's phenomenal totals. Taking the Districs team as a whole it is stronger than it was last year, and the men seem to be in Let- ter physical condition than at any previous pe- riod in their shooting history, but predictions based on these facta are valueless so long as our opponents’ strength is hidden. One thing is certain, however, and that is that New York has an inestimable advantage in its “special” guns and “special” ammunition. Figureit outas you may, Fain or shine, they are ahead on the start, and if they ean only shoot as well as the Dis- trict men do they are bound to win. Gen. Ord- way and Maj. Pollard are making every ar- rangement to prevent the semblance of fraud, and those who do not shoot on the team will be used at various points where their presence will be of service. THE DISTRICT TEAM. The composition of the team is a matter which has caused Maj. Pollard more than a lit- tle thought and anxiety. Every man’s scores in previous practice and matches have ‘Poon care- fully scrutinized and a record kept. This after- noon a determination was reached and the twelve selocted. Hore they are: Maj. J. M. Pollard, Capt. W. L. Cash, Lieut. Geo. H. Harries, Licut, J. M. Stewart, Private Himebaugh and Private Rollins of the first regiment; Capt. Jas, E. Bell, Commistary Ser- geant Laird and Private Walter 8. Cash of the second regiment; Licut. F. L. Graham, Sergt. A. O. Hutterly and Private Dickey of the engi neer corps. NEW MANAGEMENT NEEDED. If the so-called ‘National Rifle Association” over expects to recover the vitality which once made ita power among the riflemen of the World it will have to place its business affairs in the hands of an entirely new management. Five years ago state teams were gratifyingly numerous at Creedmoor and individual com- petitors could be numbered by hundreds; to- lay there are but two teams on the grounds, while the individual marksmen are decidedly scarce—not more than half the aggregate o last year. ‘The bottom is certainly dropping ont of the whole thing. And why? Because riflemen who have had one experience with modernized Creedmoor are not anxious for a second dose, because the meeting has in it too much of New York aud too little of the national idea, and because indubitable unfairness goes on ‘almost contin- uously unchallenged and unchecked. Now, don’t run away with the notion thatany one ac- cuses the management (which is centered in Gen. C. F. ns) of being dishonest—that ttle too far—but the rulings are at times so lax that favored New Yorkers may easily creep through while strangers and anti-Robbins natives get all the severity the law calls for. Yesterday about forty men competed for the military championship of the United States, and when the competitors were at the 200-yards firizg point the range superintendent drove up afd ateach target threw ont of his buggy a trigger weight. The rules of the asso- cixtion ag wellas the army regulations require all military rifles shall havea minimum trigger pull of six pounds. A few of the competitors, for their own satisfaction, tested their triggers, and two or three of the unwilling ones were practically compelled to do the same thing. Among these latter was a sergeant whose trig- ger refused to stand more than half the re- quired weight. He tried it again, this time holding the barrel at an angle of nenrly forty five degrees, and, of course, the trigger held. He was asked to ‘hold the barrel in a vertical position, but would not. Somebody said. that the regulations required him to do so, where- upon he replied: “Damn the regulations, this is Creedmoor.” With that sort of spirit abroad is it any wonder that honest men stay away from Creedmoor: The sergeant referred to has put up big scores in two or three of the matches and he has been enabled to do so because his trigger was light. How ean any conscientions man hope to win anything in competition with such rank dishonesty? CAUSE OF CREEDMOOR'S DECADENCE. But to pursue the subject a little further and tolocate the cause of Creedmoor's decadence. Supposing that some men would certainly act crookedly the association framed regulations and provided for the appointment of ofticers whose duty it should be to impartially enforce the nw. Is the law enforced? No! ‘The whole system cither was radically wrong from the beginning or it has become so through care- lessness or scifish local interests. Su thor- oughly Las this luxity permeated the structure that an outside competitor must be suspicious of everybody. Here ix a little testimony to prove the cave—an incident which shows that unfairness is not regarded as reprebensible un- less the chent is discovered: A member of the tixty-ninth New York was competing in the Steward match, where n sitting position is per- mitted. ‘To inkure steadiness he sat with his back against one of the square and solid posts on which the scorers fasten their movable desk tops. The scorer, whove duty in the mutter was perfectly plain, made no objection, and the competitor hud shot one whole score, when a Tange officer strolled along. Did he order the man away from the artiti- cial support? Not he. He simply remarked, addressing the competitor by his Christian name, that it would be better to move away a few inches. “Nome of these fellows (pointing toward a group of Washingtonians) will got on to you.” Even after this the competitor fired another shot with the assistance of the oaken en wecing that several strangers ing up he moved out from the post about six inches. It is all right to defraud, pro- vided you are not foolish enough to get eanght. It the range officers and scorers are here for anything it ought to be in the interest of fair play; some of them are perfectly square, but there is no one here but is convinced that much “monkey business” is continuously going on. ‘A PROLIFIC SOURCE OF FRAUD. A prolific source of fraud is the plan by which scorers are selected. They are detailed from various regiments of state troops, and many of them have shown absolute ignorance as to the important duties of marker. I saw one yesterday who did not know the value of a tarked shot. The red disk came up and the | youngster first culled it » three, then he guessed five, and when informed that it was a four he so scored it. A bulldozing rifleman—and there are tmany here who know the benefits that come of kicking—couid have frightened that | greenhoru into a string of bull’e-eyes as long as our aru. One other thing 1 have noticed here, that unicss the scorers are watched little favors will be distributed. Many of the com- petitors will not shoot until they can get on a target that has one of their own regiment as scorer. Proof of this favoritism or collusion is not easily secured, but no one attempts to cou- trovert the charges of dishonesty that are common rumor here. Competitors who find it easier tosteal a prize than to win it with a rifle get down to the range at the enrliest possible hour in the morn- ing or wait until the crowd has departed from the firing points in the evening. Some of the biggest individual scores made here have been fired without witnesses. Last year Capt. Cash treme right of the 500 yardefiring point. He and the scorer were alone and six or seven on their left were unoccupied. On the blackboard were two fall scores—fourteen successive bull's eyes. We watched that man put in two more scores in the same match and the best he could do was a string‘of fourteen twos and. threes. Now, wi juts up two possibles in sat eat yale sc yy to the general himself, and had it been fairly held its weakness might have been apparent. The man who had it slanted it over at such an angle that the teet was unfair, but that didn’t e any difference. It is regarded as rather & good joke to work light trigger, through. With this one exception no New Sork triggers were tried yesterday. gnivbile the District will be represented in all matches on the program here te amount of prize money taken away will not be large. To get anything hore unless phenomenal scores are put upat the outset a man must spend a good deal of money in re-entries, and nearly every Washingtonian bas worn his pocket book down to such an extent that it could be pushed under an ordinary closed door. A man needs more money than skill at a meet- where re-entries are permitted. One man Tknow has spent §30 in entries to win a $6 prize; another invested $35 in a single match Aud cannot possibly win more than £3. None of the Washingtonians have been guilty of such conduct; most of them will get their money or its equivalent back. GEN. ORDWAY OX HAND. Gen. Ordway and Col. Long are here. They arrived this morning and are now enjoying such provender as is dished up at association headquarters, It is hard to say whether hoy gr feat is uppermost in tho general's mind— has a placid sort of a smile on his countenance most of the time. Very naturally he wants to sec his team walk away with one or both of the | big honors tomorrow, but I don’t think he im- agines we have a dead sure thing. Preparations for leaving Creedmoor are not fet complete, but the chances are that the ‘ashingtonians will get away at about 9 p. m. They will leave, New York at midnight ad ar. | five home carly Sunday morning. | This is the | present program, but it may be changed to- | night or tomorrow. Anything like « military reception would bs impossible, because of the expense which will necessarily attend the visit of the twenty-third New York rifle team to Washington for the match which will take place on the 12th instant.

The President went gunning yesterday, as an- nounced in the dispatches to yesterday's Stan. ACape May special to the Philadelphia Press today says: The President went gunning to- day nnd met with success. ‘This morning he got up early, donned a gray suit of gunning clothes, a pair of heavy shoes and an old slouch hat and started for the station, in company with his son-in-law, J. Robert McKee, where they were met by Mr. George W. Boyd. They boarded the Pullman car Idlowild and left the station at 6:30 o'clock, reaching Manumuskin avout 7:10. They breakfasted on the way up and at Manumuskin, thirty-five miles above Cape May, were shifted on the Maurice Kiver Branch of the West Jersey railroad and run down to the Iittle hamlet of Port Elizabeth, two miles below the junction, where they took a carriage and were joined by two other sports- men of Philadelphia, Gus Saettle and Carl F. Brann, who accompanied the party in an old wagon to a place where they took boats and crossed Maurice river. They gunned just op- posite Port Elizabeth, and the President used Eis weapon to such. purpose that bee killed every reed and rail bird he saw end fired at, killing fourteen. He was during all the time in his shirt sleeves, and shot down the birds as the two Philadelphia sportsmen pushed the bushes, one oither side of him, and drove the birds out. When the hunting trip was over it was found that Mr. McKee had killed nine and Mr. Boyd seven, ayd the pushers enough to makes grand total of forty-five.

Harmon Murray, @ notorious colored outlaw, who has defied the authorities for nearly a year and terrorized a wide section of country, was killed about daylight yesterday morning by Hardy Early, a colored lad of seventeen. The killing occurred in a swamp near Archer, Fla. Murray called on Early about 4 o'clock and ordered him to go with him to Archer, where, he said, he was going to “kill some crackers,” and then leave Alachua county. Early did not nt to go, and said he had no gun, but Mur- ray took Early to the latter's brother's house and made him produce a double-barrel shot- gun. Both barrels were loaded with buckshot and Early put fifteen more in cach barrel. The two then started toward Archer. Having to pass through a swamp on the way, when they got into the swamp Early pretended he did not Know the trail and asked Murray to lend. Murray took the lead, and immediately Early poured the contents of beth barrels into the ck of Murray's head, killing him instantly. Karly then potified the police at Archer and & crowd went to the spot, brought the cor to town and afterward sent it to Gainesvi ‘The excitement there was intense, as several lynchings of Murray's confederates have oc- curred in that vicinity. Early was the hero of the hour and was mounted on a box, from which he made a speech, describing the affair. He will get $1,500 in rewards, Murray had killed seven men within the past few months and was as fearless as he was bloodthirsty. oe A Surprise for an Opium Joint.

Wescott Not Yor Decided to Resign the Chairmanship. ‘The Baltimore American today sa! ‘Sub- treasurer Wellington received a letter yestor- day afternoon from Mr. Charles T. Wesco:t in regard to the nship of the state central committee, an: ile he does not say in so many words that he will serve as chairman, the tenor is to that effect, and leaves the impres- sion on Mr. Wellington's mind that he intends to act as chairman. The letter was written after Mr. Wescott had received Col. Vannort’s telegram in regard to his intention to withdraw asa gubernatorial candidate, and from the manner in which he refers to the telegram he was evidently unaware that the telegram had been made public, and must have written the letter on Thursday night, The letter was in answer to a telegram sent by Mr. Wellington. Mr. Wellington stated yesterday that the action of the majority of the state central Committee was uot a fight against Col. V nort, as they have no objection to him, but that the counties are getting tired of the con- duet and fighting between the factions in Bal- timore city and that theyare determined, if pos- sible, to put a ‘to them. He thought that if Col. Vannort and his friends go about the matter in the right way an amicable settlement might be reac! Should it be impossible to come to an agree- ment and Col. Vannort remain firm in bis in- tention to withdraw with Mr. Wescott as chair- inan it would be necessary to call a meeting of the state central committee or another state convention.

But others say that it has now reached such a stage, that #0 many of his friends will advise him ‘to serve, that he will take their advice and remain chairman. COL. WESCOTT'S STATEMENT. A special dispatch to the American last night from Chestertown, the home of Col. Wescott, says that the colonel was notat home on Thurs- ight when Col. Vannort’s telegram was received. The dispatch then continue: g Wescott stated that to have anewered Mr. V: nort's telegram before having received the oficial notice of his selection from Chairman Hodson would have shown a want of respect for the committee and evinced action on his Bart without the consideration which wuch, air jonor not only deserved, but demunded. The et that a large majority of the committee de- liberately voted for his selection in preference to the gentleman named and voted for by that branch of the party which desired that Mr. Vannort should have the _privi of naming the committee and | chairman, said Mr. Wescott, showed plainly that they had concluded that some of the methods of the past had not becn produc- tive of the harmony and good results intended thereby, and that the time had arrived for the committee to reassert itself and to select its own officers. Mr. Wescott further stated the outcome of the meeting and the selection of him meant no slight nor injustice to Col. Vannort, but simply as service of notice w the warring factions of Baltimore city that they must harmonize and reunite,as the county members would of necessity assume control and management of republican politics in Mary- land. Mr. Wescott has not decided as yet whether be will accept the chairmanship, and states that he is almost without an exception urged to do so here, and has received quite number of telegrams and letters from influ- ential citizens in different sectionsof the state strongly urging him to do 80.” Col. Burchinal was not in Baltimore city yes- terday, and it is understood that he left earl in the morning for Chestertown to confer wi Mr. Wescott regarding the state of affairs. ——s00- ORTOLAN SHOOTIN ‘G. Action Designed to Prevent Non-Residents Gunning om the Patuxent. An Upper Marlboro dispatch to the Baltimore hand in the marshes of the Patuxent river bordering on Prince George's county. The Patuxent Gun Club, composed of young men of Washington, who make weekly visits to Landing, have erected a suitable build- ing, in which are kept the guns and necessary equipments for the ortolan seasor. Recently they have built « boat house or. the shores of the river, and last weck a naphtha launch was brought on at a cost of $1,000 from New York and placed in the waters of the Patuxent. It is feared, however, that their pleasure may meet with an obstacle. This morning some citizens from Anne Arundel county living on the shore of the Patuxent came to Marlboro to get advice trom counsel as regards the law for shooting water fowl. They were informed that the act of 1880, chapter 176, prevented non- residents from gunning for geese, ducks, snipe, ortolan or any water fowl on the Patuxent river, its tributaries or marshes bordering upon the same. ‘Then they made inquiry if an officer could not be placed on the Prince George's shore toarrest any offender, and they would see that no violation of the law occ] on the Anne Arundel side. What will be the outcome of the situation is not known. The Prosumption is that the shooting will go on, and if any arrest is made and any tine imposed to give security and take an appeal to the cir- cuit court. i ee A Steam Yacht Wrecked. The steam yacht Albatross, owned by J. Eggleston, has been wrecked on the rocks on Gull Island, near the Newfoundland coast, and is a total loss. She was valued at $100,000. There was a large party of guests on board and all were landed safely except Dr. J. B, Eggleston, the only son of the owner, who is believed to have been drowned. After @ boat load of guests had put off for the land young Eggleston, thinking the boat was about to foander, jumped into the sea with the intention of swimming ashore. He has not been seen since. He had just graduated from the Medical College at Albany, N. Y., where his parents had resided until recently, when they removed to this city. They are now at St. Jobns awuiting tidings of their son. * ‘The California Train Robbery.

However that may be, it is well to make the most of her while she is here. Blessings brighten as they take their flight; champagne, neglected in the glass, becomes vapid; ice eream melts into dish water. ‘The old couplet advises one to “gather the rosebuds while ye may.” In other words, grab good things while they are within reach, for although eldolon is a pretty word it isn’t half as satisfactory as sub- stance. It is upon this principle that the young man of the period ecems t> be acting, if ons may judge from casual observations at Narragan- sett——generally « sojourn on the beach, « half hour at the Casino hop at night or an after hop and saunter along “Cupid's Waik,” where in the shady nooks and corners the young men and maidens, divided off into pairs, are like souvenir spoons. ‘There is an idea that the bathing suits make some disheartening disclosures of feminine lack of symmetry, and we hear much of the young ladies who are so beantiful and well pro- portioned in their show dress becoming in thing dress and water contact gawks and } gs This is not true to great extent. ‘The statement does injustice to the American girl—not more to her figure than her tact. She is too smart for anything of that kind. If she has angularities she knows how to conceal them as well in water as in land clothes, and if she has points of comeliness she knows how to make the fact evident to their enhancement, even if her charms are confined, as in the case of Gilbert and Sullivan's heroine, to a very at- tractive left shoulder blade. It is innocent and natural for woman to make modest display of her charms. She does it at home, upon the street, in the ball room. And she can do it just as well upon the beach as anywhere else, for there are just as many meu there to thrill with admiration and women to ill with envy, and these are her two objects. My untrained’ observation leads me to note that there are two kinds of girls who do not go into the water. ‘The first does not do so because she knows better. ‘Ihe second docs not because she knows better. But the reasons are not the same. On the contrary, the reverse. The first one does not go in because she knows it would be a case of shocking dis- allusion that no sartorial or histrionic arts or recourses could soften. So, wise in her day, she keeps to her terra firma tlummery and re- mains on the beach. The other giri aiso remains on the beach. Take that one over there, for instance, who hah a scarlet Pry jan cap on ber dark hair, a Jow-cut waist and bare arma, a dark bive sill bathing suit, showing her perfect form, a scanty skirt and the rufles of her trousers just Teaching the knee. She wets her toes in the water, gives the little feminine squeal at the touch’ of cold water, and retreats—and then tries it again, ignorant, of course, of the hun- dreds of admiring masculine and contemptu- ous feminine eyes that are upon her—about equally pleasing to her. urther down the beach is another girl of the second kind. She is polite. and her blonde curls struggle out from under a killing little Tam o° Shanter cap. Her dress is of black China silk, and it has been repeatedly observed this nen- son.
