Preparations for the big shoot next month are moving along satisfactorily. Attracting more general interest than any other event on the program is the “Merchants’” match. It will be open, as ‘was announced in last Satur- day's Srax, to all enlisted men in the brigade, and agreat many entries are expected. The total number of prizes in this match may be as many as twenty. No attempt has, as yet, been made to secure donations, but prizes have been given. Robert Beall. the’ bookseller, has _con- tributed a fine photograph album; Woodward & Lothrep banded out a fine bath robe: Lisuer of the Palais Royal presented a beautiful silk umbrella, while Freeborn G. Smith, through Manager W. P. Van Wickle, gives a handsome tusic box. During the coming week the pri list will be completed and published. Those who intend competing in this match (a3 well as those who have at least one eye on some of the other contests) would do well to remember that no one will be allowed to enter unless he has completed his record scores on the range. THE VALUE OF NON-SMOOTERS STATED. “A soldier who cannot learn to shoot well,” says Capt. Brinkerho of the army, “is worth nothing in the fighting force. He do possibly to drive mules or fo work in wood oF iron, but he is worthless for fighting purposes. If men were rushed up in asolid body against an enemy similsrly formed, as in days not long since passed. and were armed with some obsoleie ‘weapon, the soldier would need only strength and courage and discipline to make him a peer of the best. But we require more than that now. We require not alone the old-time cour- ageand discipline, but we require also marks- mansbip and intelligence. Tne soldier in the yanks must 9 all the good qualities that have heretofore been required of him, and in addition he must have mastered the art of manipulating the wind gauge of his rifle, esti- mating distances, lating the effect of light and wind and humidity and m:rage. The drivers of mules and the ‘hewers of wood and drawers of water’ have no place here.” No practical soldier will ‘ever dispute Capt. erhoff's position, and the average nationa woukl do well to ponder carefully re quoted raph. In the District militia every effort has been made to show to both Officers and enlisted men tho military advant- ages which must accrue from close attention to ractice, and yet there is much annoy- tiackuess in nearly every company in the The season for ritle practice on the has almost come to an end, and yet bun- of men have never even attempted to face the ta: the Washington barracks. lenpeng liens dx asteoun ts realies Gaton them rest a stigma if a large proportion of their tive commands fail to attend to the ‘most im] t duty a soldier can have—the duty of making of himself an effective marks If this uational guard work means any- d thousands of thoughtful men are of the opinion that it does—it means that a force is being trained to meet an emergency which may be apparent at almost any time. ‘There is nothing playful in the militia idea, nor is the existence of several hundred thousand Citizen soldiers a uniformed joke. FINISH UP YOUR RANGE PRACTICE. Many of the men who have not been seen on the range during this season stayed away be- cause it was difficult to cut loose from busi- ness on the particular day set apart for bat- tulion rifle practice. and this difficuity—noticed in so many cases—has been the cause of more than a little thought and consultation at brigade headquarters. Otten has it been so that » number of men could have visited the range on some day other than the one set apart for their respective battalions, but that ether day would not do. A new system has been adopted and wi vat in operation Oc- tober 1.

A FEW FACTS AS TO RIFLE PRacticE.

Title to a deal of Anacostia realty is involved. Plaintiff, Webster, aftirms that during his absence defendant, Webb, took and has maintained frandulent possession of his property. He stated that in 1866 he settled on the property in question, negotiated for its purchase and received a deed in iee from the then proprietor, Wm. H. Van Hook. This instrament was dated July 16, 1563, and deeded lots Nos. 80. 81, 106, 107 and a strip of ground adjoining lols 80 and 107. A certified copy of the deed was offered in evi- dence. Plaintiff remained in actual possession of the property till 1871, when he removed to Little Kock, Ark. He committed the agency of his holdings to Mr. Melnturff, but dissatisfied with the returns which that gentle- man made he transferred the ageney to George Duvall. ‘This was in November, 1872. Plaintiif then stated that in 1873 he received a letter from Webb, who was the tenant, setting forth that it was unsatisfactory to deal with Duvall, and if he (Webster) would. place the property directly in his (Webb's) bands he would make ¥ repairs to the dwelling house, pay and remit the balance. ‘Theso said the witness, had never been Mr. Webster when cross-examined Woodbury Wheeler, counsel for de- fendant, did not know absolutely that Mr. Webb authorized the letter, but assumed so rom the iaets that it was in MeInturff » hand~ writing and signed James Webb and that he | had never received a reply to any one of the many letters he afterward wrote to Webb.

An Interesting Talk to High School Boys by Lieut, Hine of the Army. ~ Yesterday afternoon at the close of the fourth hour the boys of the Capitol Hill High School assembled in the exhibition hall of the Peabody building to hear Lieut Hine of the army on the subject of drill. Lieut. Hine wasa student in the class of '85, Washington High School, where he distinguished himself in the battalion as well as in the recitation room for his high order of intelligence. In the class of 91 at West Point Military Academy he has gained the highest honors of his class in both tactics and discipline and has received assignment to Fort ‘Thomas, Ky., where he will join his regiment next Tuesday. His talk to tho boys consisted of some prac- tical advice in regard to the personal bearing of the cadets in and gut of the clase room, ‘urging especially that they should maintain the position of the soldier as taught in the “setting ap" exercises of the drill, in order that they might withstand better any exposure to which they might be subjected either during their school days or in after life. He also em- phasized the necessity on the part of the boys of being courteous at all times as a duty which they owed themselves as well as the general public, which has alwayssmanifested a large in- tesest in High School matters. At the conclusion of the talk the boys showed their hearty appreciation by vigorous applause. ‘The Capitol hin High School has been boom- ing all the week until now it numbers about 280. Mr. Whelpley of the High School com- mittee was present at the formal reopening of the school on the'2lst instant and congrata- lated the pupils upon the outlook for the year.

Officers Here Not Surprised at the Account From Albany About Him. Frank Wallace, who assaulted one of the officers of the Albany penitentiary on ‘Thurs- day, is well known in the first ward, especially by the police, and for several years prior to October 15, 1888, had given the officers. much trouble. His people live in Hughes’ alley, be- tween 25th, 26th, H and [ streets northwest, and he had been arrested several times and spent some time in jail and the work house. In the spring of 1888 while getting back at Officer Heard the officer struck him across the mouth with his baton, knocking out his front teeth. On October 15, 1888, while playing a of crap near the t brid Yt eg aapene with Michad eninge be ect front of the Columbia Hospital fired two shots athim.
