It is anybody's prize until the announcement is made. The skirmish runs will decide the contest. As predicted in The Star, the skirmishing was a surprise to all the competitors. The silhouette group targets were placed diagonally across the range between the 200 and 200-yard butts. The skirmishers Were started from a point near the camp and run diagonally across the range. Un- der this arrangement the old landmarks and guiding points on fences and trees were of no use. The distances were at solutely unknown, and all the competitors were on an equal footing.

At the 200-yards range five Georgians scored “pos- sibles.” Several protests have been filed today against the entry of Captain W. T. Cann of Georgia in the match for inspectors ef rifle practice. Captain Cann has been com- peting all the week in the team and other matches as a company officer. Just before coming to Sea Girt he was commissioned inspector general of rifle practice of Georgia, with the rank of colonel. After competing as a company officer he took cath today before Gen. Spencer of New Jersey as inspector general of rifle practice of Georgia, in order to be eligible for entry in the match for inspectors of rifle prac- tice. The point is taken that a New Jersey officer has no authority to administer an oath to a Georgia officer. Talk of an American Team. Now that the team captains and others of the Sea Girt contingent are engaged in discussing the probabilities of an Ameri- can ride team being organized and taken over to England next year, some of the figures that appear in the calculations may be generally interesting, and undoubtedly will be as soon as the public understands that it—the public—will unquestionably be given an opportunity to subscribe. The broad idea, as it now exists, is to invite the various states, through their adjutants general, to send to Sea Girt marksmen who are eligible as competitors; the question of eligibility to be passed upon when the proposition assumes more definite form. The competitors would, of course, be trans- ported and subsisted at the expense of the state or the individual. Preliminary com- petition would probably last a week, and would result in the selection of a team of twelve principals and two alternate: Then would ensue about two weeks of York ath prepared to furnish the & if of geoceries, wines and lquors_ th: this stare has beew ru y ars.

A, retired, and a number. of other veterans who were at Sea Girt today, have discussed some of the details of the general proposi- tion with Maj. Harries.

Moreover, the: cient amount of cash availzb! plan work all right. de- a_suffi- o make the People who don’t know very much about rifle practice as it is practiced at Sea Girt and as it used to a be practiced at Creedmoor,are probably not conversant with the fact that a wellfilled pocket book is as essential to a marks- man’s success as is a good rifle and con- siderable ammunition. This woald not be so if the matches were all straignt shoots. It is so because in most of the competi- tions the competitors may re-enter as often as they want to or can. This means that the man whose pocket book is heavily loaded can keep on shoot- ing in one or several matches until he has succeeded in piling up winning scores. Against such competition as that the man who is simply a first-class shot, and who has practically no pocket book, does not stand ary sort of a show. Temporarily this re-entry business is a good thing for the association which is responsible fcr the meeting, because the greater the num- ber of entries the larger the financial re- tuin is likely to be, but in the end the proposition does not pay, for skillful shots who are poor soon become weary of com- peting with the superior financial resources of those who may be just as good shots, but who frequently are not. Georgia's marksmen are unquestionably of good quality, and with this quality they combine the possession of what the slangy sometimes term “‘scads."’ There is no use trying to conceal the fact that this com- bination is discouraging to the poor but honest soldiers from the District of Co- lumbia. Theory and practice agree upon this point, for the District of Columbia boys are not conspicuously in evidence in the re-entry matches. Working Out a Plan, There is an impression abroad in camp that the gentlemen from Georgia are work- ing in accordance with a well-defined pro- gram. Members of the party who ure especially skilled at certain ranges seem to have been assigned to look afer ceriain matches; these matches they propose to win, even if the state is compelled to make a new bond issue. It is quite probable that the District sharpshcoters would do pre- cisely what the Georgians are doing if they had the money. But, as they have not, they are practically unanimous in their condemnation of re-entry competitions. Georgia’s effort to make a great “killing” at this meeting may perhaps be accounted for by a half-concealed intention not to visit G ar. No reason has heen vouchsafed for this conclusion, and perhaps no one has any right to ask why the conclusion has been reached, but it is ated by several who really ought to know that the Georgians will not come back next year. An officer of high rank of the National Gvard of the state of New York is authori- ty for the statement that the empire state will not in the future be represented at the annual meetings at Sea Girt. Dissatis- faction with the silhouette targets is said to form the basis of this intention. With Georgia, New York, Massachusetts, Penn- vania and the District of Columbia not represented, it is hardly likely that the ccmpetitions next September and the years that follow on Jersey's range will be un- duly exciting. : Big Scores Expected. In connection with the adoption of the silhouette target, it may be said that an en- tirely new standard will be established in the Hilton trophy and other big matches by this departure. It is predicted that the team winning the Hilton match at this meet will score as high as 1,125. The District of Columbia helds the record to date, !t being a world-beater—1,097. It will be necessary to wait for several years in order to form a just reckoning between the winning teams using the silhouette tar- get, as the high scores that are being made on the latter cannot be compared with those on the old bull’s-eye oval targets.

Such is the law, and, in our opinion, the remedy will continue to be applied until the fears of the property owning class cease to be acute. That can only be when the courts are persuaded that the dangers apprehended do not exist, and when that. time comes there will be no more appli- cations for strike injunctions. Meanwhile, to our minds, what is needed is not tirades‘ against them, but a thorough comprehen- sion of what the law is, ————_s eo —_—__——— A Regular Coincidence. From the Cleveland Leader.

The meteorological summary for the month of August, frcm observations taken at Brace’s drug store, corner of 30th and M streets, by Prof. M. F. Burrows, shows that the month was the coolest for some years. The mean temperature for the month was only 71.7 degrees, the maximum being 93 degrees, which occurred the 14th, and the minimum 4 degrees, which oc- curred the Sth. The monthly range of the thermometer was, therefore, 39 degrees, There were thirteen fair days during the month, fourteen clear ones and four cloudy days. There were nine days upon which one one-hundredth or more of an inch of rain fell. The total monthly rainfall was 3.26 inches, or a daily average of eleve: one-hundredth of an inch.

Henry Pond, the patrol driver, discovered the escape imme- diately, and gave pursuit. The chase last- ed for several squares, a large crowd join- ing in. The negro was finally cornered in Boston,” near the canal, where Policeman Seymour and the patrol driver caught him. An additional charge of destroying public property was placed against the prisoner, for which he received an additional sixty days this morning in the Police Court. Police Make a Raid. A raid was made this morning shortly after midnight on the house of Cora Lane, a colored resident of “Boston.” Policemen Harrjson and Housel were the officers, and they arrested Cora dh a charge of kee eeping a disorderly house. Estelle Suit, Laura Saunders and Mamie Williams were ar- rested at the same time, and they were held under the vagrancy laws. - Soldier Arrested. John Golden, white, ‘aged fifty-two, a sol- dier, came into town last evening from Fort Myer, evidently dete/mined to do the town. He went into Barron's bar room, at 20th and M streets, ordered a drink and refused to pay for it. He was ejected from the place, and as he landed out on the sidewalk Policemen Pratt and O’Connors were pass- ing. The coat of the soldier was raised in the air as he made his hasty exit, and the butt of a revolver was seen. The man was arrested on a charge of carrying conceated Weapons, and this morning went down in the Black Maria to the Police Court. When arraigned before Judge Kimball the accused said he brought the pistol from the fort at the request of a comrade to sell it, and was not aware that by having the weapon in his pocket he was violating the law. He was fined $50, arid in default of payment of the fine the accused went to jail for ninety days. : Later, however, Golden's fine was paid and he was released from custody. » Made No Threats. The paragraph In yesterday’s Star in re- gard to the taking of dirt from property belonging to the Washington and Falls Church road was incorrect, according to statements of interested parties. Mr. R. H. Phillips, the general manager of the road, had warned the workmen against taking dirt from the lot, and day before yesterday he found them at the work again. He warned them off, but was greeted with bad language, whereupon he started down to- ward the men, who promptly ran.

Smalley in Chicago Tribune The building of the Northern Pacific was coincident with the development of our en- tire northern belt of territory, extending from Lake Superior to the Pacific ocean. When the road was started, in 1870, there were probably not 10,009 people living in the country it was to traver ow there are mds. 500,000 in northern Minnesota, nearly 300,- 000 in North Dakota, 200,04) in Montana, 50,000 in Idaho, 400,000 in Washingion and 400,000 in Oregon. All this settlement of a recent credited to the building of Pacific. The road has thus been a very great factor in national growth.

Education is playing sad havec with the teeth of modern generations. So an ex- perienced dentist in the West End says, and he ought to know. Formerly decayed teeth were generally attributed to a secret fondness for bor-bons, but the idea is, it appears, quite a mistake. In fact, sugar is rather nourishing than otherwise. The truth is that the ancient sturdy, square jaw of the’ English race is changing, through lessons and book learning, to an angular or V shape, which presses the molars one upon the other, does not give them room to g¢fow, and will, in time, pre- vent some of them from cutting at all, Indced,athis catastrophe is not infrequent already. In many cases the original teeth are becoming less in number than they ought to be, and often the “wisdomers” fail to appear. This in an “educated jaw” is lamentable. The new facial form is, ac- cording to the dertist, much cultivated by ladies, who find that it is popular among gentlemen. The latter like women with the “educated” angle of chin, which generally carries with it pearly but very frail teeth. If the specialist be right, this process of selection, aided by further lessons and more study, will, in the course of time, produce a race wighou: any teeth at all. Then will the dentists make fortunes, for people will require complete artificial sets from baby- hood onward. . +20 ____ It matters little what It is that you —whether a situation or “want” ad. in The Star will reach person who can fill your to get a mn
