A Story That Has Brought Him a Number of Applications for Clerkships. When asked about his appointment as special agent for the reception and traushipment of world’s fair exhibits at New York, as aunounced by the Chicago Herald of the 10th instant, Mr. Curtis of the State Department said: “There is not a particle of truth in the story. Somebody on the Chicago Herald is trying to make me ridiculous. About twice a week he makes a similar announcement. The simple fact is that Ihave been authorized by the di- rector general to use his name in making application for the transhipment in bond of articles intended for the Latin-American depart- ment of the exposition. The commissioners who are in Central and South America making col- lections are beginning to ship them home, and we get packages by every steamer. To save time and trouble the director general hasgiven. me a power of attorney to make application in his name for their free admission through the custom house, as provided by the world’s fair act. There are no fees, no clerks, no salaries, no perquisites—and the duties of the office consist in writing a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury abou: once a week, telling him that some more world’s fair curios have arrived from South America. “Please emphasize the fact that no clerks are needed,” added Mr. Curtis. “I had six applica- tions before 10 o'clock this morning. ——— ee THE RIFLE TEAMS. The District Men Mect the New York Marks- men This Afternoon. For several months the twenty-third New York has been seeking a foeman which in rifle shooting could be regarded as worthy of its steel. Numerous attempts have been made to arrange matches with outside teams, but none of these endeavors amounted to anything until Col. Partridge ad- dressed a communication to Gen. Ordway asking him if a contest could not be adjusted between the brigade team of the District Na- tional Guard and the twelve apostles of the Brooklyn regiment. The challenge was ac- cepted and the preliminary arrangements were made at once. Originally it was intended to have the contest cover the 200, 300, 500 and 600 yards’ ranges, but Col. Partridge’s men, unac- customed to 300 yards’ work, tiled a demurrer, so the program was shortened to suit them. Yesterday the Brooklynites were at the Ar- senal range all day busily engaged in practice; this afternoon they are putting the knowledge acquired to the best possible use. Every prepa- ration for the match was made by Capt. Lan- caster of the third U.S. artillery, and the cap- tain will act as range officer. ‘The two teams were on the ground shortly after 1 o'clock, but it was almost 2 before every- thing was in order and the contest started. Gen. Ordway and Col. Partridge were as closely associated as Damon and Pythias; if anybody wanted to find Col. Partridge the easiest way to do it was to locate Gen. Ordway. The New York team is com of Capt. John 8. Shepherd, Private 8. C. Pirie, Sergt. 4H. D. Hamilton, Sergt. R. Findlay, Lieut. I. A. Wells, Sergt. Geo. T. Musson, . George Ball, Lieut. Joseph T. Hull, Capt. E. DeForest, Lieut. George F. Haulin, Corp. H. M. Field and Lieut. Wm. P. Pickett. Maj. Heywood 0. Broun was team captain and Ordnance Sergt. Chas. E. Bryant was as busy as he. On the home team were: aa Pollard, Capt. W. L. Cash, Capt. James E. Beil, Lieut. George H. Harries, Lieut. J. M. Stewart, Lieut FL Graham, Com. Sergt. Charles H. Laird, Sergt. A. O. Hutterly, Private Himebaugh, Private Walter 8. Cash, Sergt. R. B. Smythe, Private C. W. Dickey. ‘lay and Lieut. Vale were alternates. The New York team will use the a rifle (such as they used at Creedmoor) and the specially prepared 80-550 ammunition. Wash- ington's representatives will shoot the service “factory made” ammunition out of the regula- tion Springfield gun. The result was. practically settied before the match began. m's men pose to put up the best fight le, but there was no expectation of winning any more than there was on Long laland e week ago. the mat will uot be over till about 6 o'clock. Tonight the visiting rifiemen will be enter- tained at dinner by home team, the event coming off at the Epbitt House.

She told her story to every one who was willing to listen.

She was taken to quar ters this morning and told her story to the superintendent. Miss Ava was then returned to the house of detention, where she will re- qain until her friends in Chicago are beard from. Curcaco, Sept. 12.—The wife of the Rev.

BOLTON'S DESCRIPTION OF MISS AVA. “Under left eye, to the left almost as far as the cheek bone, is a scar as large and about the shape of a 3-cent piece. It is quite notice- ablo, and looks as though it had been gouged. The skin is not discolored, but the scar is a deep one. On the right cheek, and just below the iine of the mouth, is « mole, in which isa considerable growth ‘of hair. Her eyes are blue, with lashes light. Her hair is iulse. I know this because she displaced her wig when removing her bonnet atone time when we were together. She said that her weight was 202 pounds, but I think she weighed more. She wears a No. 5 shoe, but can wear @ smaller oue. She did not button the one on the left foot, as she was suf- fering from spraiued ankle. ’ Her hands were large and stocky, the tingers heavy and all of the same size. “The hands were masculine and course looking. I sawa picture of Mme. Diss de Bar and think Miss Ava could rig herself to look like her. Mrs. Bolton was sure that Miss Ava used whisky. She detected it iu ber breath. Aun O'Delia was addicted to the use of Kentucky whisky. She was born in Kentucky and at one time all her troubles were attributed to the fact that she had “changed” from the Kentucky tipple to champagne. Lieut. Shea this morniug said he would tele- graph Chief Dietsch of the Cincinuati police to have Miss Ava examined as to her sanity. “If she is insane,” said he, “she will be placed in an insane asylum.
