The Amateur Rifle Club, through the ef- forts of its shooting master, Mr. W. M. Farrow, has arranged a competition to be shot at the range of the club, near Chevy Chase, Washington's birthday. A costly silver cup is offered as a prize. The match will be open to all comers, each man being ellowed but three entries. Ten shots at 200 rds must be fired. The position will be Standing. The two best scores of each com- petitor will be considered in awarding the prize. A special meeting of the Amateur Rifle Club will be held next Tuesday evening at the National Guard Armory. At that time the selection of the team to compete in the match by telegraph with the Erie marks- men, described in The Star last Saturdav, will be announcet. The necessary steps also will be taken at the meeting to provide for the laying of a floor in the shooting house of the club. Jane Match at Joliet. The details of the big Schuetzen rifle match to be shot at Joliet, Ill, next June have been arranged. This is the competition for participation in which the members of the Amateur Rifle Club are constantly prac- ticing. ‘the competition will be the biennial series of matches under the auspices of the Cen- tral Sharpshcoters’ Association. The rules of the association regarding membership are unusually strict, and organizations de- siring to. join are required to forward a copy of their respective constitutions and by-laws and » list of all members with their applications. The members of the Amateur Rifle Club are desirous that their applications will be promptly accepted, as the matches and the several prizes are botn attractive and valuable. The competitions are announced to begin June 24 and to end June 27. At least five different matches are included in the pro- gram, ore each to be shot on the union target, the stick target, the man target and the people's target. while the six-men team match will be shot on the ring target. in the team match $4” ana a championship banner, valued at $50, will be offered as first prize. Ambulance Corps Active. Perhaps the most flourishing organization in the District National Guard today is the ambulance corps, which has reached the high-water mark in its history, both as re- gards membership and efficiency. The corps is practicing constantly with its new | ambulance and litters, and every clear evening is on the streets in the vicinity of the armory, maneuvering, and there is no question but that it will reflect credit on the local brigade during the approaching tnaugural parade. A course of special lectures is now un- der way, particular attention being de- voted to first aid that should be rendered patients who have succumbed to excessive cold, and to those overcome by exertion and exposure. This knowledge may come in handy March 4, if the weather should be inclement. The corps is prepared to properly care for any sick and injured among the District and visiting troops on the occasion of President-elect McKinley's formal induction into office. Matters of a social character have been suspended by the organization for the time being. A cordial invitation is extended to all persons interested in the Red Cross to visit the armory Thursday evenings and witness the maneuverings of the corps. Private Sousa has been appointed corpo- ral. Success Seems Assured. The members of Campbeil Light In- fantry, Company C, 4th Battalion, are gratified over the prospective success of their “inaugural bazaar,” which is to be opened February 22. A meeting of the la- dies’ committee was held at the residence of Mrs. Hodgson Thursday evening last to complete arrangements. The committee decided to open the bazaar with patriotic ceremonies in honor of the birthday of Washington. Those who will be invited to attend the opening are the officers of army, na’ marine corps and National Guard. The High School Cadets will also be invited to be present the first night, when a competitive drill will be held, open to the cadets. A bicyle six feet high is being con- structed, and will be voted to one of the six leading cycle firms of the city. A shoot- ing gallery will be provided, and will prove @ stimulus to target practice among Na- tional Guardsmen. Three prizes will be offered—one for members of the guard, one for High School Cadets and one for all comers. The committee is considering a Proposition to donate part of the proceeds of the bazaar to the poor. Music, dancing and recitations will form part of the pro- gram each evening. The bazaar promises to prove a source of amusement for vis- {tors to Washington during inaugural week. Gen. Miles Is expected to speak at the opening ceremonies. Wheel for Military Cyclists. All guardsmen, and particularly the mem- bers of the cycle company, will be interest- ed to learn that a bicycle has been invented that promises to increase the usefulness of the wheel for mflitary purposes. The ar- rangement of the device is extremely sim- ple. A brake-like appliance joined to the handle bar, when lightly pressed, drops two light steel supports to the ground. Upon these supports the bicycle rests, and the rider, after coming to a standstill, and without dismounting, can use both hands for any purpose. Touching a small spring on the handle bar sends the supports back Into plece again. The whole affair weighs less than one pound. For years military men have been look- ing for a bicycle support that would enable riders to remain “awheel” while loading and firing. The one great obstacle to the usé of the bicycle in the army has been its in- ability to stand alone. The new invention enables the soldier to halt without dis- mounting, and to execute the most intricate movements, which heretofore were impos- sible. Gen. Miles and other army bicycle enthu- stasts have given much thought to the use of the wheel in actua! warfare. Its failure to stand alone has been the chief argument used againet it. When a bicycle corps get fairly under way on a good road no diffi- culty is experienced. A halt, however, meant dismount, and each man was com- pelled to hoid fast to his machine. The new support Overcomes this obstacle, and the st'ent steed is now under greater control than the horse.

Company D also held a meeting on Thurs- day evening, to consider the filling of sev- eral vacancies in that company, and it is said Captain Miller, formerly captain, tut now commanding Company A, will return to Company D as its commanding officer. Second Lieutenant Howard Beall will be made first lHeutenant, and perhaps Sergt. Wm. Marshall of Company A will be elect- ed_as second lieutenant. The members of Company C are quite en- thusiastic about their informal reception, which will take place February 22, and are working hard to make one of the most successful events of the season. The armo- ry that night will have undergone a very decided change, as no pains will be spared as to decorations and the lke. Company C’s basket ball team will play a game some evening during the coming week with the Queer Wheelmen’s team. Geo. W. Sneden, formerly inspector of rifle practice, has returned to Washington, efter an absence of nearly a year, and will rejoin his old company, A. He was very popular in the organization, and in all probability may soon again become an offi- cer. The battalion basket ball team is to play a game with the Eastern Athletic Club Sat- urday evening at the armory. Private J. Ligon King of Company C has been ordered before the battalion examin- ing board, in anticipation of promotion to a non-commissioned officer. Notes, Mr. John A. Graham, a well-known, efi- clent and popular commissioned officer in the regiment of High School Cadets sev- eral years ago, has been appointed ser- geant major of the 3d Battalion. An election to fill the vacant captaincy of Company A, Engineer Corps, will be held this evening. The members of Com- pany A, 3d Battalion, have also been or- dered to assemble this evening for the pur- Pose of electing a second Meutenant. Capt. Edgar A. Shilling will preside. Company A, 2d Battalion, last evening entertained at {ts quarters in the armory building the basket ball team of the Young Men's Christian Association of Baltimore. The affair proved thoroughly enjoyable in every particular. Company A, 4th Battalion, is flourishing. The Tuesday evening meetings of the or- ganization have been resumed, and, with the addition of attractive social features, have been the source of a general awaken- ing In Capt. Walsh's command. The officers of the Engineer Corps con- tinue to hold drills each Tuesday evening. The corps will assemble for battalion drill Thursday next. The monthiy meeting of the organization is scheduled for Satur- day, February 27, when addresses on top- ies of interest are to be delivered. A private letter from Gen. Albert Ord- way, the head of the District National Guard, who is at present in Europe, ad- Vises that he is much improved in health. This is ‘a welcome announcement. It is ex- pected that Gen. Ordway will not return to tnis country for several months to come, and in that event Col. Cecil Clay of the 2d Regiment will command the local brigade on the occasion of the inaugural parade. Progress in the direction of a new ar- mory building for the District National Guard is being made at an entirely satis- factory rate. The matter will be brought to the attention of Congress in the very near future, and strong pressure is to be directed to secure the much- desired legis- lation. Plans for the proposed new struct- ure have been prepared, and they are de- scribed as ideal in every particular by those who have been permitted to view them. With probably no exceptions, every or- ganization of the brigade is actively en- Baged in energetic preparation for the in- augural parade. Equipments are being ex- amined and put in proper condition, and there is no doubt that the District will be creditably represented in the pageant. No attempt at parading will be made by the guardsmen Washington's birthday. Troop A, however, will not omit its practice march and drill at Brightwood. = Seats on Lafayette Sq.

There was a lively hearing before the ex- cise board yesterday afternoon in the case of Philip Barry, who keeps a bar room at 1012 11th street southeast. The application was at ore time agreed to, but subsequent- ly held up for further consideration upon the representation of certdin protestants. ‘The charges against Barry were that he kept open after hours; that he sold to mi- nors, and that he had an alley entrance to bis place. Officer Mason, who made the arrests in the cases, was on hand to testify, and the defense put the prosecuting officer of the District on the stand to prove that the officer was overzealous in trying to have Barry convicted. Prosecutor Pugh testified that while he did not believe Mason would falsify a rec- ord, he thought he had been overzealous in his efforts to have Barry convicted. The officer testified that it was true that he had tried to have Barry convicted and had paid out some $6 of his own money to substantiate a record in the case.

Dull Times im thee Brokers’ Officen— Some ‘Bulldgngs:Soon te Be Erect- ed ti Washington. Stagnation was about the only word hich properly;eharacterized the condition of the real estgte market in Washington for a long time mp to.a week ago, but with- ing the past few: days a more hopeful feel- ing has been apparent among dealers, and there have been inquiries on the part of capitalists which are talren to indicate a revival of activity in the near future. It is confidently believed that these expecta- tions will be realized in a degree very shortly after the inauguration of Major McKinley. Business men in Washington are awaiting the incoming of the new ad- ministration with pleasant expectations, in which-.the real estate mem. share. It is believed money will loosem up and seek channels ‘for permanent investment shortly- after the meeting of the extra session of Congress, or at least as soon after its as- sembly asa definite idea of what It intends to do can be obtained. Of course, the com- ing. of the large number of new members and new senators, as well as the strangers who will be attracted by such an interest- ing event as an extra session, will neces- sarily lead to an increased demand for resi- dence property, both by lease and by sale. ‘The builders and eontractors, however, do not take as rosy a view of the. immediate future as those who have building sites: to dispose of, and there is a feeling among many of them that the year i807 will be the most quiet so far as the business of construction is concerned in all their ex- perience. It is eapected that work will be started on the Jewish Synagogue about the Ist of May. The complete plans have not been made and estimates are being submitted by bidders for the work on blue prints which have been furnished them. Five very pretty dwellings will be erect- ed on the southwest corner of 10th and R streets northwest from the plans of Archi- tect Joreph C. Johnson.

The corner house will have a towcr and the lower story will be devoted to a store. The baths and vestibules will be tiled; there will be electric gas-lighting ap- pliances, speaking tubes, electric bells and all the modern improvements. The build- ings will cost about 4,000 apiecc. Sketches Have been made by Architect Robert Head for a projected block of ten three-story and cellar dwellings, each 28 by 100 feet, to be located on a site near Dupont Circle. The fronts will be of light b: trimmed with red standstone, and they ecst about $5,000 apiece.

While she was attempting to light a hanging lamp her,clothing in some way caught fire, and was so badly burned that she died several hours later. The ac- eldent occurred about 6 o'clock, when the child was alone in the house. It is not known just how it occurred, and the first seen of the child was when she ran out into the street crying out in agony. Mr. Percy Woodward was passing at the time. He wrapped his ovecoat about her and ex- Unguished the flames, but she was then so badly burned that when she-was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital the physicians Saw that there was little chance of saving her life.

A General Upward Tendency—Firmer Feeling. re ‘The general tendency in the local whole- ssle produce market today is toward high- er prices, and there fs consequently a much firmer feeling throughout. Butter has ad- vanced In about all grades, the scarcity in the finest goods being particularly notice- able. Eggs are plentiful, but they have Jumped about 2 cents a dozen over last week's prices, it being evident that more goods are on the market than are being offered. Cheese has cleo materially ad- vanced, very little being available. Game is about out of season, and is no longer in sufficlent quantities to be quoted. Poultry is higher, particularly turkeys. Potatoes are advancing, and apples, tco. Beef and other meats ren.ain about as last reported. Butter is firmer and scarcer, particularly in the top grades, and there is an upwaril tendency throughout all grades. Fine goods re faulty in grade, and the trade in imita- tions is somewhat better, although low. xrades are duller. Today's prices: Elgin extras, 23 cents a pound; choice, 22; firsis, 20; seconds, 18; bakers’ choice stock, 14 to 15; New York tubs, 18; dairy print, 1 western, 14; Maryland and Virginia cream- ery, 18; dairy packed, 14. Cheese is not only scarcer, but is .also higher, as may be seen from the following quotations: Full cream, large, 12% cents a pcund; flats, 13%, and ponys, 14 cents. Eges have advanced, despite the fact that they are plentiful, it being very evident that they are being held up.
