GOOD SCORES AT SHOOTING MEET

Marksmen From Several Cities Took Part and ExcePlent Scores Resulted. WESTCOTT SET THE MARK. SHOWED UP AS BEST AMATEURINTEREST IN THE EVENT WA8 MARKED AND LOCAL CLUB WAS COMPLIMENTED. After two days of the best shooting that has been seen in Richmond for a number of years the registered gun tournament held under the auspices of the Richmond Gun club closed yesterday afternoon with Charles G. Westcott of Leavesburg, Fla., formerly of this city, winning the high average with 377 out of 400. The shooting of Mr. Westcott was excellent at all times and the fact that he won the liigh average without a tie shows his remarkable shooting. L. H. Reid and R. Helks tied for the high professional average with 391 out of 400 which is exceptionally fine shooting and is claimed by many that it is the best that has ever been seen in Richmond. J. R. Taylor was second high average with 388 out of 400. C. L. Baker made the second amateur high average with 876 out of 400 p"d F"1 fa'n made the third high averaga ". out of 400. The Richmond ib is very much pleased wl. 3 tournament. Marksmen who represent some shell or powder firm and make it their business to attend the different contests over the country were held to be professional. It wks ttc general opinion of the visiting marksmen that this was one of the best conducted registered tournaments they have attended. The shooting was good at all times and no one made a very low score. ' The purses were awarded on a percentage and were Westcott $10, C. L. Baker ?6 and Ed Cain $4.

Miss Geraldine McCann. the clever little actress at the New Phillips theater this week, is considered to be the best juvenile clog dancer on the stage today. The little lady has mastered all the intricacies of her art, and she handles herself with much grace. Miss Carrie Scott has added to her popularity by appearing in the sheath gown. Miss Scott is receiving enthusiastic applause at every performance, and has to respond to encores again and again.

FRENCH PRESS IS x SCENTING TROUBLE Sees Menace in Visit oi imperor William. Paris, Sept. 11. A renewal of the tension between France and Germany and possibly an acute international complication is feared. French official circles, however remain calm, and it is announced that France intends to pursue her policy as already outlined. The French press is displaying day by day more irritation, which has been increased by the expulsion yesterday of Pierre Adigard, a member of the French Chamber of Deputies, from the German maneuver grounds in Alsace-Lorraine. Furthermore, the report received today that' Emperor William Intends to cross the French frontier from Alsace-Lorraine to view the landscape from the top of a mountain in France furnishes fresh occasion for the more sensational journals to cry "provocation." La Patrie says: "The presence of Emperor William on French soil at the same time that a French deputy is driven from the annexed territory looks like defiance and bravado." How a Picture Is Composed. In examining such a picture as Munkacsy's "Christ Before rUste" or Detaille's "Saluting the Wounded" you are Inclined to think that the painter saw the scene as a whole that he ar ranged his models and straightway proceeded to delineate the scene on virgin canvas. But. alas for this theory, wert you to take a knife and commenct scraping that same canvas you would find a pathetic record of figures once nllve and now forever blotted out the soldiers or the Pharisee who once stood prominently here now stands obscurely there. This tree or house was yonder, and yonderfigure's place was once filled by a post or a detail of landscape. Strand Magazine. D 11 One Million A Week Blackburn's ascaRyai-PiH a Used by Those Who Know.

N Orville Wright Continues Smash Records in Aeroplane Flights. to PERFORMANCE YESTERDAY. MADE IN FACE OF WIND THAT CAUSED MACHINE TO PITCH AND SHIFT BUT ALWAYS UNDER CONTROL. Washington, Sept. 11. Orville Wright yesterday broke the world's record for time and distance for a heavier-than-air flying machine which he established yesterday. In a flight requiring great skill on account of a ten-mile wind, he circled around the drill grounds at Ft. Myer fifty-eight times in 65 minutes and 52 seconds, exceeding the time of Wednesday's record flight by 3 minutes and 37 seconds. The flight was witnessed by nearly 1,000 persons. The wind was blowing about three miles an hour when Mr. Wright prepared to make his flight. At 5:08 Mr. Wright signaled C. E. Taylor, his mechanic, to release the machine: The aeroplane rose from the ground almost immediately after leaving the single starting rail. It continued to climb higher with each successive round of the field, until it reached an altitude of seventy-five feet. For the first thirty rounds the machine flew as smoothly as on its previous flights, but from that time on it was seen to pitch at the turns, as the breeze from the west struck it. Whenever the machine pitched it could be plainly seen from below that it responded promptly to every move of the levers by the operator. ' FOOLED BOTH WAYS. The Experience of a Visitor In a Lunatic Asylum. "I was staying," says a writer in the Liverpool Mercury, "with an uncle who was on very friendly terms with a doctor who kept a private asylnm and who occasionally gave a dance for the patients, while also inviting some of his friends. "During my visit we received an Invitation, and ou the appointed evening we arrived to find tho room crowded with people all In evening dress. "My first partner was a man whom 1 thought looked decidedly queer, such a restless, hunted expression in his eyes, and occasionally during the dance he stopped and glnnced searchlngly around. Dear me, how glad I was when the dance was over, and, making some excuse, I hurried away, only to run up against my hostess and to be introduced to my second partner. "Ah, me, what a handsome man, and, girl-like, I fell head over cars in love. 1 put out my most bewitching ways and hoped I looked my best and took care that 1 helped him find a cozy corner for the sit-out. "It was delightful, and 1 was just la mentlng that it was about time for the next dance when, horrors, clutching hold of my hand and frantically waving his other hand, he started ronrins out texts, when suddenly, to my relief and astonishment, who should come up, followed by two men, but my first partner, whom I found to be a doctor, while my handsome partner was a religious maniac!" AUSTRALIAN RAIN. When It Does Fall It Pours Down In a Perfect Flood. How different things are in the old world from what they are in the faraway tropics! "They had no rain here for a fortnight, and they called it a drought!" wrote an Australian from Scotland In a scornfully superior tone calculated to induce the belief that It never rains in Australia and that droughts last a hundred years. Not so. Australia is the land of contrasts. A drought has lasted for seven years. But what Is there even in Scotland to compare with the persistency of Australian rain when it does see fit to fall? For eleven weeks without stopping did the rain continue to moisten the dry places Qf Sydney some years ago, washing out most cruelly the brief, bright season of winter, when the Australian looks for living instead of existence and peace Instead of pressure. And what rain! It shot from the clouds like arrows, and the whole .world was a battlefield during that July. As the arrows darted into the earth the earth rose and dashed into the air, and ral-i and mud met and grappled with eael other day after tlayN night after night week after week. And the battle wn neither to the rain nor to the mud.' V strange and horrid situation arrived Sydney ran clean out of gr.loetaes. For two weeks not a galoche was t be had in the rain drenched city fi love or money. Then a fresh shlploa arrived from somewhere or other. Ai. then the rain stopped! London Mali

TOLSTOY IS HERO IN RUSSIAN PRESS Papers Appeared in Jubilee Editions Honoring Author. St. Petersburg, Sept. 11. -The newspapers of Russia appeared yesterday

almost without exception as Tolstoy jubilee numbers, and they publish pages devoted to his life, criticisms of his literary work and anecdotes of his j career. Many or me articles naturally are phrased in terms of extravagant adulation, but la general the criticisms are discriminating and just. The newspapers pass over the disputes aroused by the count's later writings and his attacks on the government and the liberal movement, end unite in appreciations of the undisputed greatness of his life and the brilliance of his earlier novels, which introduced Russia to the world. Pride is expressed in Tolstoy's position abroad, particularly in England and the United States. A Fiti .w MERMAN. Ilrand of Mnrlne onlrr Virginia Sported In lOTtt. B. II. Blackwell of Oxford has published a careful reprint of "An Account of Virginia; Its Situation, Tempera j ture, Productions, Inhabitants and j Their Manner of Planting and Order ing Tobacco." It is, iu brief, a pam phlet communicated to the Royal so clety in 1670 by one Thomas Glover, "an ingenious Cbirurgiou," who had lived for some years in the province. Mr. Glover would seem to have reckoned the sea serpent among the Inhabitants of the colony to judge from the minute accuracy of the following description: "A most prodigious Creature, much resembling a man, only somewhat larger, standing right up In the water with his head, neck, shoulders, breast and wast, to the cubits of his arms, above water; his skin was tawny, much like that of an Indian; the figure of his head was pyramidal, and slick, without hair, his eyes large and black, and so were his eyebrows; his mouth very wide, with a broad, black streak on the upper lip, which turned upward at each end like moustacboes; his countenance was grim and terrible; his neck, shoulders, arms, breast and wast were like unto the neck, arms, shoulders, breast and wast of a man; his hands, if he had any, were under water. He seemed to stand with his eyes lixed on me for some time, and afterward dived down, and a little after riseth at somewhat a farther distance and turned his head toward me again, and then immediately falleth a little under water and swimmeth away so near the top of the water that I could discern him throw out his arms and gather them in as a man doth when he swimmeth. At last he shoots with his head downward, by which means he cast tayl above the water, which exactly resembled the tayl of a fish, with a broad fane at the end of It." Ko Doubt of Hln Honesty. Deputy Sheriff and Chief of Police Alf Church of Woonsocket was known in his day as a man who was straightforward and blunt in all his dealings. One day a grocer went to Alf for Information about a certain Joe White, who bad applied for credit and a book at his store, and the following dialogue ensued: "Good morning, Mr. Church." "MorninV "Do you know Joe White ?' "Yes." "What kind of a feller is he?" ' "Putty fair." "Is he houe3t?" "Honest? I should say so. Been arrested twice for stealin' and acquitted both times."

NO FRATERNITIES ATJEW CASTLE Not Even Social Clubs Will Be Permitted.

New Castle, Ind., Sept. 11. Frater-; nities are not to be allowed in the' public schools of this city. The action ! of the school board was announced yesterday. The resolution as adopted by the school board is tiiat "it shall be unlawful for any student or students attending or having the right to attend the schools of New Castle to form or to be a member of any secret society, fraternity or similar organization in such school, or to attend or to be a member of any secret society, fraternity or similar organization or any club for social meeting and entertainment of students, whether said organization is within the school." A NATURAL DIKE. The Volcanic Formation Along; thm Course of Fall River. Nature is full of strange freaks, and her agents rains, storms, winds and even dust produce results that might often be mistaken for the works of human hands, though frequently on a coloswal scale. j Volcanic activities are mighty fac- ' tors, and through them some wonder ful phenomena are wrought. One of these may be seen along the course of Fall river, iu northern California. This 6tream is of considerable size, and the work of nature's gigautic forces may be seen between the upper and lower cascades of the river. It Is what might properly be called a "volcanic dike." This dike extends for some distance along Fall river, near its banks and nearly parallel to the course. It bears close resemblance to a roughly constructed wall. The top of this dike is very ragged and the height of varying altitudes. In some places It is twenty feet high and several feet in thickness, and again may be easily clambered over. The rock of which this wall of nature is composed is of a very porous character, bearing some resemblance to pumice stone, though much more solid and of greater specific gravity. That entire region Is of volcanic origin and evidently was once the scene of great eruptive activity. Scoria and lava abound, though the face of the country is now thickly clad with timber and brush. The dike begins and ends abruptly. The wall of the dike is evidently the result of volcanic forces, and has no doubt stood for many centuries. It stands clear from clinging rocks, has a narrow foundation, with vertical walls, and is very straight.. The mystery Is what forces of nature could have piled up or left standing this rock formation so uniform. This dike has puzzled not a few geologists who have visited and examined it.

The plunging that took place on Hermit's Derby has never been equaled in the annals of the race. The Marquis of Hastings lost over $500,000 and Lord Stamford almost as much. Sir Joseph Hnwley lost over $250,000 in one bet through backing his horse, The Palmer, agninut Hermit, for that amount with the owner of the latter. When Hermit was knocked down to Mr. Chaplin as a yearling at the Eltham stud auction for $5,000, Mr. C. J. Merry bought the very next lot led Into the sale ring for a similar sum. This horse he christened Marksman. He backed his purchase against that of Mr. Chaplin with that gentleman for $50,000 In the blue ribbon of 1857, and he lost his wager by the narrow margin of a neck.
