What poisons arise in your stomach come from urdigested food which has decomposed there. They are absorbed by your blood and go to your liver, where they paralyze its functions and make you Dilicus.

OF —s SCORES THE TEAMS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. STATE CAMP, SEA GIRT, N. J., Sep- | tember 4.--Whatever other expenses may have to be met by the District National Guard during the eurrent fiscal year, there will be nothing flisbursed for expressage on the Hilton; trephy. The big shield is in the brigade,armory now. It will remain there for at least,another year, and this last winning was;the hardest of all. ‘To say that the mangin was narrow would be untrue; the fagt is that there was no margin at alig.sOpe point less by a Wash- ington team manor one point more by a Georgian woul] have resulted in the Hil- ton’s beirg shipped to Atlanta, there to re- main for a settsun, it was a hafr-reising match throughout —long to be remembered by. those who either participated or watched it proceed through its three stages; From the outset was general recognition of the fact the contgst was between the District, Georgia gnd Massachusetts. It seemed to be certain that neither’ Pennsylvania nor New Jeréey could cut any ‘figure’ at the ind-up,: and all these reasonavle supposi- tions Were fully realized. The scores by teams were as follows: Team Scores, 209500 ds. yds. 17 B16 But y 293 New Jersey. 291 The District and Georgia were therefore tied on aggregates, but inasmui District score at Gu yards was Gecrgia had oniy 424, the victory was with the Sharpshooters from the national capi- tal.

The scores were low, but the District's score was not quite as low as any of the others. Sixteen years have elapsed since the Hilton was captured by such a smali total, and only thrice have the figures been | lower. In 189 the District won at Creed- moor with 1017; in 1893 it won again with 1058. In 1805 it Was once more on top with 1097, which established a new world’s record; and now it gets there with 1010. Responsibility for the diminished aggre- gates compounded yesterday is the wind. Riflemen have, of course, experienced more windy weather than was turned loose at Sea Girt for the Hilton match, but such instances are few. To hold on the target at 200 yards was as much as many of the com- petitors could de, and more than several of them accomplished. ‘ At 600 yards there was just as much wind, but as the men were lying flat on the ground, they could not be shaken. The wind therefore transferred its en- ergies to the bullets, and kept every marks- man guessing. Moreover, the guessing had to be done in a hurry, Four hours and a half were the total time allowance for the match, and evéry team was “way behind time when the 200 yards stage was done. The District team lost twenty-eight min- utes, because Its members would not pull the trigger unless they were at least sure of hitting some part of the target. There- fore twenty-eight ininutes had to be saved at the mid-ranges. The Districtcboys responded nobly to the call for speed. They shot as if their lives depended upos the gait, and when the weather conditions are considered they shot amazingly ‘well: Hy pairs they came to the firing points with: admirable promptitude, they took their positions so that not a mo- ment was threw n-away, and as a result the team caught up twenty-two minutes at the second stage.si Georgians ‘Were Jubilant. Georgia wag,jubilant and confident when the third stage dpened. The southrons’ total for the two Stages was 686, while the champions,’ tr ‘whose laurels so much fighting was keing, done, had but 677. To those who knew little or nothi\g about the staying qualities Of the District team, the match appeared t6! be over; they figured it out that ia ‘Would at least hold the District even,’and*must surely win. But it could not'be that the team that last year put up 865 at 600 yards would this time fall shart of points enough to clinch its grip on the international championship. Excited Spectators, A more intensely interested crowd than that whick indulged in nervousness {n rear of the firing point would be hard to find. In the matter of numbers it was greater than any yet seen at Sea Girt. Fully half of the multitude had paper and pencils, and haf resolved into a corps of disagreeing statistical officers. Now the rumpr was abroad that Georgla was too far ahead to be caught. A minute later it was generally understood that the District was on even terms and seemed to be getting there. Arithmetic. ran wild.- A dozen times a min- ute proof could be found favorable to con- tention that figures will occasionally lie. General Wingate, president of the prac- tically defunct N. R. A., was much con- cerned, but his faith in the ability of the District's representatives did not waver. Col. Mosher, the District's adjutant gen- eral, was rooting and figuring and hoping and praying, until he really did not know which he was doing. There was a look of anxiety on every face except the f: of those team men, whose captains discour- aged anything that tended toward excite- ment. Everybody was a partisan, the w men more so than the sterner sex. Five minutes ahead of time Lieut. Gra- ham fired the last shot for Wasningtoa. As he and Maj. Harries arose from their Places, the District’s team captain said, ‘We have been beaten.” He knew that the local score was low as compared with the scores of other years, and he reasonatly supposed that Georgia had maintained its lead. He notified Adjt. Vale to assemble the District's detachment in rear of Geor- gia's firing point, so that when the winning team was announced there would be cheers for the victors Then Georgia rooters said that Georgia had two shots to fire, and that if they were oth fours, the Hilton trophy would go Way Down South in Dixie.” Bang.” went Austin’s last cartridge, ard up bobbed the three disk; that meant that Dr. Wilson must make a ‘bull’s-eye to win. | The doctor did his best, while the crowd refrained from breathing. The Last Shot. “Bang!” went his last shot. | The excitement of a iifetime seemed to | be erowded into the two or three seconds ccnsumed in charging the targets. Then the yells of exultant Washingtonians min- gied with the groans of disappointed Geor- gians as the four disk marked the spot hit. A Georgia lady burst into tears, and Would not*be comforted. Men hugged each other or looked their disappointment, just as the cese might be. Maj. Harries called upon his team and their adherents for a cheer for the competi tors who put up such a gallant fight. Geor- gia did not propose to be outdone, so its team got in its cheer first, after which the local crowd got in its deadly work with great effectiveness. Congratulatiois and commiseration were freely ¢: anged, and in a litle while there* was no evidence of the tension that had for several hours been clearly apparent. The Hilton match was over, and the brigade team of the Distri National Guard retains the world’s cham- pionship, The Regimental Match. In the interstate regimental match, the scores of which were announced yesterday evening, the Ist Georgia has the first place, with the District of Columbia Engineers second. The totals were: Ist Georgia, 1,504: | District of Columbia Engineer Corps, 1,56 Ist Pennsylvania, 1,442; 2d District of Co- } lumbia, 1,852; 2d New Jersey, 1,308; 1st District of Columbia, 1,2 3d New New Jersey, 1,273; 12th Pennsylvania, 1 3d Pennsylvania, 1,211; 6th New Jersey, LOR. Receiving the Victors. Althcugh no information on the subject has as yet been received here, it is quite prcbable that the brigade rifle team of the District National Guard will return home Monday evening, delaying the departure from Sea Girt until Monaay in order that the members of the team may participate, if they so desire, in the individual rifle matches scheduled for today and tomorrow. Both Gen. Ordway and his adjutant gen- eral, Col. Mosher, are away from the city, but nevertheless, no doubt exists that the victors will be acccrded a proper reception. Orders will probably be issued tomorrow calling out two battalions of the District Guard, to be commanued by the ranking Lieutenant colonel, to meet the team at the | depot and escort it to the armory. In addi- tion there will probably be several volun- ieer companies in. the parade. Last year | the organizations ‘ordered out to meet the team were the Ist Battalion and the 5th | Battalion, and they were commanded by | Lieut. Col. Walton of the Ist Regiment. | The first company to announce its inten- | tion to welcome the team is Company A, id Battalion (Morton Cadets). As ‘soon as the date and hour of the arrival of the rifie- | men are announced Capt. Shilling will issue the necessary orders to his men. The Hilton Trophy. The prize won by the brigade team of the District of Columbia National Guard at Sca Girt yesterday is a trophy presented by Henry Hilton of New York, to be shot fer annually at Sea Girt. The conditions which govern it are that it shall be aeld during the year by the head of the corps or organization whose team may win it, and must be returned to the New Jersey State Rifle Association at the close of the yeor. The value of the trophy is $3,006. In addition, a bronze medal, made by Tiffany of New York, is presented to eacn member of the winning team. The District first won the trophy in 1890, with a score of 1,017. It was brought to Washington again in 1893, the score being 1,058. Last September, | with 1,097, the werld’s record, the DiStrict brigade team once more gained possession of the coveted trophy, and yesterday demonstrated its right to hold the prize for another year. Others who have won the trophy are as follows: 1878, New York, score, 1,044; 1879, New York, score, 1,043; 1880, Division of the Missouri, U. 8. Army, ‘score, 1,023: 1881, New York, score, 911; 1882, Pennsyi- vania, score, 956; 1883, Michigan, score, 1,066; 1884, Division of the Atlante, U. S. Army, score, 1,018; 1885, Division of the Atlantic, U. S. Army, score, 097; 1886, Massachusetts, score, 1,044; 1887, Massa- chusetts, score, 1,006; 1888, Massachuset:s, score, 1,080; 1£89, Massachusetts, score, 1,057; 1891, New York, score, 1,065; 1892, Pennsylvania, score, 1,058, and 1894, Penn- sylvania, score, 1,088, The score yesterday, 1,010, is the lowest in the record of the District’ for the Hilton match, that fact being due to the gale of wind blowing while the shooting was in progress. The trophy is at present on ex- hibition in the hallway on the second floor of the National Guard Armory, 446 L street northwest. —_._. The Kentucky Outlook. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. FRANKFORD, Ky., September 4.—Gov. Bradley says: “McKinley will carry the state, I think.” “What will be his plurality?” “From 20,000 to 40,000, in rhy judgment.” “How many votes will the sound money ticket get in this state?” “Forty thousand, I think. “How many democrats will vote for Mc- Kinley?” “Not less than 10,000.” ‘ow will the pops vote?” If the Sewall-Watson combination does not affect them, they will vote solidly for _ Bryan.” i NEWS FROM DELAWARE The Democratic Candidate for Oongress Thinks the Prospects Good. Other Inform: Character Received at National jon of an Encouraging Headquarters. Senatcr Gorman has returned to his home at Laurel. That is close enough for him to run over here when he feels dis- posed and talk with the democratic man- agers about his observations of the east. The Senator has been expected here for two days, but it is said that nobody knows when he may show up. Of the various visitors to headquarters today, Chairman Faulkner seemed to take considerable interest in L. I Hardy, the democraiic nominee for Congress from Del- aware. Mr. Hardy had a long conference with the democratic manager. Mr. Hardy is not a free silver enthusiast, it is said, but is supporting the democratic candidate heartily. He reports prospects good in the littie state which he hopes to represent in Congress. Ex-Clerk of the House Kerr has been asked to take the stump in Pennsylvania, ani will begin soon at Clearfield. He says that Joseph Sibley is certain to be elected to Congress from the Erie district. Mr. Kerr and Representative McMillin are scheduled for a joint debate today in Mr. Kerr's district with Representatives Brosius and Arnold, republicans. IHinois in Claimed. Senator Faulkner has received a letter from Ira J. Bell, chief clerk of the insur- ance department of Illinois. He says: “I made a poll of a county in Illinois in 1s92, and have made a poll again. Judging from this and other information, I beli we will carry Illinois for Bryan by 40, to 50,000 majority. My county, that gi Cleveland 6$ majority in 1892, will give Bryan at least 50) majority.” The following letter is from R. A. Wat- kins, attorney-at-law, Lancaster, Wis: “The situation in this part of the state of Wisconsin is very favorable, and the sit- uation is quite as good, if not better, for the democracy than it was at this period of the campaign of 1sv2, when we carried the state. The so-called ‘silver craze not dying out here, the republican friends to thé contrary notwithstanding.” The Alpha Bimetallic League. Senator Faulkner is in receipt of numerous congratulatory telegrams from the Alpha Bimetallic League and others concerning the meeting in Baltimore last night, which Senator Stewart and Mr. Bell, dep- uty commissioner of pensions, were the chief speakers. An eye witne: ys there were over 7,000 in the audience, and the greatest enthusiasm p “Afier the meetin, of the league, “great numiers of the audi- ence lit gered to see the speakers, and hun- dreds of life-long republicans shook hands with them, thanked them for their con- vincing urgumerts, and came to ask me to enroll them as members of the Alpha Eimetallic League. The republicans, while admitting that Maryland, outside of Balti- more sity, will be for Bryan, are claiming great gains in the city. Well, they ure great at claiming! The fact is, judging from what is told me by republicans, we w:ll get three republican votes for every democratic vote we lose.” Silver Clubs in Minnesota. J. W. Griffin, state chairman of the sil- ver party of Minnesota, has written to sil- ver party headquarters for charters for forty-two clubs in that state. He says that a silver club will be organized in every county, ard that many counties will have a number. The membership of the club is to consist almost wholly of silver re- publicans. Assistant Secretary Taylor, whose hi is in Utah, 1s forming women’s silver c! in that The first one was organized by Mr. Taylor's mother a short time ago. Under the law of Utah women will vote 1or e e bs electors. Mr. Taylor says that the wo- men of Utah are as enthusiastic in the cause of silver as the men. e+ PROSPECT TE: AS. Fusion ix Possible Between the Popu- Mists and Repu Special Correspondence of The Evening GALVESTON, Texas, August 28, 1806. “You pays your money and you takes your pick.’’ That about sums up the political situa- tion in the state of Texas at this writ- ing. The oldest citizens tell me that they bave never seen political affairs in such a haze this near election. In fact, 1 migh’ liken it to one of those small kaleidoscopes. At every turn the view changes. k before last possible fusion between the gold democrats, republicans and populists was thought feasible. Last week it thought that the silver democracy and the pepulists would hitch together, and this week it is predicted that the gold democrats have decided to “go it alone,” and the repub- licans and populists will go together. The silver democrats in convention at Fert Worth treated with scorn all offers of the populists which tended to fusion. The national democracy, also in convention as- sembled at Waco Wednesday, decided not to enter any fusion scheme, but to let each voter vote on state questions as he wanted, and on national questions he should be governed by the action of the Indianapolis convention. So, fusion being in everybody's mind, somebody must fuse so as not to disappoint the general opinion which has been preva- lent for the past few weeks. And who now are left to fuse? Only the republi- cans and the populists. And that is just what is going to nappen. These two par- ties will cest their lots together for better or for worse. The populists are content with the state offices, the republicans are willing to take the electoral ticket, and there you are. Their combined vote. added to that of many of the gold democrats’ which will be cast in their favor, they hope will win. The republican state con- vention meets at Fort Worth next week, and I have no hesitation in stating that at that meeting some deal will be patched up and made public. Hetty Green's Republican Son. The republican convention, which meets next week, will without doubt be presided ever by Mr E. H. R. Green, son of the famous capitalist and the richest woman in America, Mrs. Hetty Green. Mr. Green is an unknown political quantity. He has been in Texas for some few years past building a railroad from north Texas to St. Louts. It is sald that Mrs. Green has hopes of one day seeing her son governor of Texas, but whether there be any truth in this report or not, I know that it was not this desire which secured his being placed in nomination for the state chairmanship. It will be remembered that at the St Lou's convention the republicans from Texas had two delegations, one headed by Grant and the other by Cuney. The for- mer delegation, being for McKinley, was seated; but now Grant realizes that without Cuney’s support he can do nothing, and so, as a sort of a compromise, Mr. Green has been slated by all factions for the state chairmanship. He is absolutely an un- known quantity and has not expressed sympathy with either faction. Of course, while I would not say that this has any- thing to do with his appointment, Mr. Green can be relfed on to do his share toward contributing to the campaign fund. I know Mr. Green personally. He is presi- dent of the Texas Midland railroad and also president of the Paris (Texas) base ball club, which latter is a member of the ‘Texas League. I have had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Green on both his invest- ments. On railroad matters he is well up, and he is not deficient in ball lore. Alto: gether, I deem Mr. Green the most avail- able compromise man that could be put up at the present time. _ ———_ —_ CONGRESSMAN DINGLEY'’S VIEW.
