Fel- lows and Other New Yorkers. (New York Exchange.) It 1g not often that science makes a discovery that demands special investigation on the part of the newspapers. Once in a while it does, however, such as occurred in New York recently. It has been stated positively that a process has been found whereby food, mixed with a certain ferment, became digested before it had even en- tered the mouth. Certainly if this were true, it Would mark an era in the history of civilization, and the writer was delegated to thoroughly inves- tigate and report upon the same. ‘The first call was made at the office of the com- pany which is now manufacturing the food in question, and I was permitted to inspect the pro- cess of manufacture. I found it exceedingly elab- orate and scientific, and after inspecting it thor- oughly, I was shown the way in which it actually worked. A plece of fresh meat was placed in an open dish and some of the predigested food mixed with it, when the temperature was raised to that of the stomach. Almost immediately there was a change in the color of the meat, next its fibers seemed to Separate, and soon it assumed a liquid form, the same as it does in the human stomach after being eaten, The effect, the change, the entire process, Was most wonderful and speedy. “This, as you see, is a demonstration of what can be ‘doue,” said ‘the manager, “but we prefer that you ascertain just what this "food accomplishes with the people who use it. Here is a fist of names, and you are at liberty to see them as certain what their infons may be."* Armed with this list, 0 Writer began @ tour of investigation, with the following result: t Elias B. Dunn, chief of the weather was found in his office, exceeding! well. In response to my inquiry he said used the pre-digested food Paxkola myself and in my family, and I must say that I have found it just what is claimed for it. In fact, I have been chanting the praises of it very steadily ever since I first to use it. Why shouldn't I? It has built me up and made a new man of me. You see how fresh and rosy I am, and I intend to keep so.” Colonel John KR. F Wh he x he iti n that is thy are logical, and it is a comparatively easy matter to clothe them in proper language. When I am not feeling well I take Paskola, the pre-digested food, which sets the stomach right, clears the cobwebs from the brain and sets the machinery of thought and elo- quence in motion. There is nothing like Paskola I belleve it has won more cases before a jury than you would imagine.” Both Messrs, Howe and Hummel, the well-known lawyers, fully confirmed what I bad already heard. Mr.” Hoiwe said: “Look at me! Feel how firm my arm is! You can see Tam in perfect health, and yet I wag, not lo >, adv by my doctor to go away for my I¥ present condition is the result of the skola. It i a labor saving discovery— saves your stomach the labor of digesting food. ‘Tyg ie ae I did, and grow tat Jolly.” iis partner, fummel, said: “I have seen a number ‘of whose stomachs were #0 weak that could al- gest nothing else, but who were able to assimilate this _pre-digeated’ food culty, I have known shadow by indigestion, three months by its use.” Wherever I went the reports were the same, and was forced to the inevitable conclusion that a had certainly been made for bulld- any ‘ive organs, which has Dame our’ american life.

CAMP WERTS, $EA,GIRT, N. J., > _ September 3, 1894. With bluste-ing Breas puffing across the ranges until his cheeks threatened to crack, the fourth annual nieeting of the New Jer- sey State Rifle Association opened up this morning. The average rifleman cares only @ little for the breezy element, provided it is furnished in moderation, but such a blast as has swept over Sea Girt all the day long was too much for most of the sharps. It came from the northeast, and made its Chilly Spectators. presence felt instantly; came like a thief in the night, and made the tent-flies flap a steady and noisy tattoo on the inner can- vas. Reveille had a chilly sound, and the blue-gray sky was filled with portents of excessive moisture, but up to this time there has been absence of rain. When the first shot was fired cpon the range the at- mosphere was cool enough and damp enough for October, and as the hours ar- rived and departed the temperature went down steadily and the humidity increased. First-class scores appeared to be impossi- bilities even to the most optimistic of prophets, yet Commissary Sergeant J. M. Stewart braced up and showed the natives, and the visitors also, how to put up 46 out Awaiting His Turn. of a possible 50. Private S. B. Wetherald had a 43, while Corp) Appleby gathered in 41, These were the’ high scores, all the others being 40 or ‘Jes§—several of them being very much less. At 500 yards the wind was just as4 bad, but it could be laughed at by the apper strata of marks- men. Standing at 200 yatds was more than difficult, but it was very easy to lle down at 500 and figure out how much the wind- gauges had to be moved;to compensate for @ breeze that puffed at as high a rate of speed as twenty miles.an hour. The totals improved wonderfully. Private Cook gath- ered in 47 points, Sergt. Stewart had 46, Corp. Appleby put up 45, Private Wether- ald 44, Private Scott-48, while of lesser but good scores there wefte many. The detachment in’ which was the first regiment team arrived in camp this morning just at 7. o'clock, and was grected by three cheers and a break- Sergt. Stewart Shooting in the W! fast. The new arrivals were Lieut, T. S. King, Maj. R. A. O’Brien, Serat. Crist, Corp. Gibson, Sergt, Hadger, Lieut. Tallmadge, Capt. ‘Robert Young, Corp. Hurlbut Young and Private Stott. The District regimental teams were duly entered today. The first regiment team is to be as follows: Lieut. T. S. King, captain; Sergt. Eugene Crist, company C, second battalton; Sergt. W. D.

Teams from all over the east are rolling in, and by nightfalf thei camp will be the biggest and most ‘thorbughly representa- tive rifle camp this ‘gountry has known for many years. All the competitions will be extremely exciting,siand if the weather clears up will be shat in the presence of a big multitude of spectators. Gen. Ordway, with Maj. George Hender- son and Maj. E. H. Neumeyer of the gen- eral’s staff, will be here this evening. —_—o The Criminal Court Jury. Judge Cole today attempted to secure a jury for Criminal Court No. 1, which will be the first court to take up jury trials after the summer recees. Twenty of the twenty- six drawn for service in his court were ac- cepted, as follows: Ferdinand J. Purner, Samuel D. Phillips; Wm. H. McKimley,Chas. A. McEuen, Jas. R. Ellis, Robert O'Neil, John L.

Judge Cole directed the clerk to draw twelve names to complete the panel, to re- pert ch Se instant. LATE SPORTING NEWS The Washington Base Ball Club was in Pittsburg yesterday afternoon. Neither Maul nor Stocksdale could pitch a little bit. The fielding of the men behind them was at times far from perfect,and therefore the Pirates carried off a victory in the Presence of only 300 spectators, by the startling score of 22 to 1. But six hits were made off Gumbert. Maul was hit on the hand by a liner in the sixth, which forced him to retire. ‘The score: | WASHINGTON. memacswesous Sommncoone> Commonnoontt Cmmonmoomen: Farned _runé—Pittsburg, Weaver, Gumbert, Bierbat dall- , 1.

The figures are given for the agaregate attendance of the day in the cities In which morning and afternoon games were played, Mack Succeeds Backenberger. A. C. Buckenberger, who has had charge of the Pittsburg base ball team for three years, was relieved from duty yesterday, and Connie Mack, the catcher, appointed ménager, Base Ball Notes. This is the last ladies’ day of the feason at National Park. The Pittsburg club has withdrawn the release of Pitcher Coakley. The Washing- ton club was about to sign him. Mr. Buckenburger, who has just been de- posed as marager of the Pittsburgs, says but little on the subject, but the boys on the team speak very plainly. They are all an- gry at the turning down of “Buck” and were it that any other man but “Connie” Mack vecaeey given the place there would be open revolt. With the Senators playing Pittsburg yes- terday afternoon here, what a big crowd they would have drawn. About 300 saw the game in Pittsburg. Does it pay to transfer games? Twenty thousand four hundred was the attendance in Baltimore yesterday, and this being the paying attendance just about beats the record of the league this season. -It is said that Washington is after a sec- ond taseman and short stop for next sea- son. There is only one man in sight that outranks either Ward or Radford, and that is Bonner. As Esper was given to Hanlon for nothing (7), perhaps this really fine player will be permitted to come to Wash- ington. One thing is sure, there is no one in the minor leagus that outranks Radford. What a fine sprinting match could be ar- ranged betwen Tom Brown, Billy Hamilton, Willie Keeler and “Beau” Mercer. Each have thelr admirers and there are many people in Washington who believe Mercer would not come in last in a 100-yards dash. “Jim” McGuire has caught more games than any other catcher in the league, and ranks well up in the list of players both in fielding and batting. He has done more than his share to help Washington win its short string of victories, and his friends are working that he may win the prize in the voting contest out at the park. In the bookmak parlance: “It's two to one, and take your choice” in the race for the league championship. A_ blanket could easily cover the first three clubs. The one that slips is lost. The Departmental League. Two gemes were scheduled to be played yesterday at Capitol Park between the Treasury and Post Office Department teams. Only four of the treasury players reported, however, so both were forfeited. A scrub nine was made up and an exhibi- tion game played, the post office boys losing by a score of 16 to Ll.
