A wvery Interesting suggestion has been made that firemen’s uniforms should be made out of the new asbestos cloth, says the New York Press, and I should say it deserves very serious atlention. Samples of the cloth which have been submitted show it to be quite as Tight and pliable as ordinary woolen cloth of elose texture and heavy weight. There s no doubt about its being practically fireproof, and its cost uot prohibitive, The proportion of fires whereln firemen are suffocated are small.

Last Monday the Omaha Guards were on the range and pumped a few pounds of lead into the bulls Then came four days of competitive firing, y a detachment of the Thurston Rifles, under command of Sergeant Forby, blazed away at the revolving targets. m with' the rds of the regulars the shooting of the militia boys was rather weak, but, everything considered, the records e good. Several of the boys never rifie before, and now they are nursing brulsed shoulde:s and declaring that it was great sport Monday Tuesday will see the cavairy men using their revolvers. Tuesday will be the last day, and then the medals will be distributed. This will be a gold day at the range.

This is al interesting event, especially for the boys who get the medals, The competition has furnished one record breaker, but the aggregate scores have been better, as a rule, than ever before. Ser- geant West of the Sixth cavalry broke the bine record, making 171 points out of ‘& possible 200. This is five points above the previous record. This is the more remarka- ble from the fact that Sergeant West has Just returned from duty at Chicago, whither he accompanied h! troop during the strike He was thus shut out from practice.

Captaln Scharff seemed to be very enthusiastic, but ome unaccountable reason he failed to r, and only ten men of the company appeared. A sergeant was in charge, and no reason was given for the apparent slight placed upon Colonel Benhar The regulars had been hard at work all week, and it was a seeming hardship to ask them to work for so small a number of men, but it was done The militia be who were present exy themselves as deeply rateful to C Benham and Captain Guilfoyle for their ness.

Tons of lead have been fired, and until yesterday none of it had ever struck an animate object, save a cow that was accidentally shot last year. Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Samuel Adams, B troop, Fourth cavalry, Department of California, went down to Bellevuo depot with someé companions to indulge in revolver practice. On the way down he inserted a shell for the purpose of shooting at a bird But the bird flew before he could shoot, and he forgot to remove the shell. ThinkMg the revolver was not loaded, he began snapping it after reaching the depot, and it went off. The ball struck Adams In the left groin, came out next to the inside of the right leg, and entering the right leg ranged down almost to the knee. Dr. Robinson feared that the ball had penetrated the bladder, but examination showed the fear to be groundless. The wound Is very painful, though not dangerous, and Adams expects to be on duty again with- in three weeks, Military Notes. Lieutenant F. H. Beach, Sixth cavalry, is registered at army headquarters.
