Instnltcd
nl Rifle Asaoclatlon of America by
Congress. A bllll for that purpose ta
now being drafted and will be pre
sented to Congress If the Board of
Director, of the Aaaoclatlon approves
,v.,. n,mi meet ng In January.
MT I IIKII UIIIIU'H ---
This Rifle Asclatlton occupies
the
siittti' 1'oxltlnn; twnrd rtilo ifractlco
In this country Ilmt the Niitlonnl III tie
Association of (irent Ilrltain does In
thnt country, except thnt our Associa
tion lias received no attpport from the
trovcriinii'tit nnd comparatively little
from Individuals. William Waldorf
Aator gave the British Association
$r,0,000 In one gift. The National Rllle
Association of this country has been
looking f'r some American to do like
wise, but has fulled to find him so far.
The Wnr Department has notified
the Adjutant General of Missouri thnt
the renting of grounds for target ran
ges, or of grounds or bulldlnga, for
shooting galleries, together with the
expenses necessarily attending their
adaption for the above purposes, can
properly he paid from the State's al
lotment under the recent net of Con
gress Increasing the Militia appropri
ation, nnd under the order of the Sec
retary of War.
The Niitlonnl Board has noted with
pleasure the prepress made In training
the police of different cities to use
their revolvers for the encouragement
of revolver shooting. It comeR within
thn purview of the Board, nnd several
police officers have shot In the Na
tional Pistol match. The good work
of the Washington police force, large
ly composed of ex-soldlerR nnd mn-
rlnea, him been previously referred to,
along with that of the Cincinnati po
lice. The latest conies from Roches
ter, New Yorlj The cltf decently
spent several thousand aonars in
equipping the police with revolvers of
a uniform make, nnd was right proud
of Its venture until It developed that
only a few of the policemen knew how
to shoot, One cnptnln admlttod thnt
he had never fired a revolver, nnd one
of the sergeants failed to hit a target
In ten shots, so It Is reported. This
opened the eyes of the pole commis
sioner who W sld to have declared
that he will never promote another
man who cannot shoot. The regula
tions now prescribe a rating of ten
per cent for skill with the revolver
and every candidate for promotion Is
required to qualify by making at least
twenty out of a possible fifty or he Is
barred from the written examinations.
When other cities follow Rochester's
example there will be less shooting of
the "Innocent bystanders."
A good Idea comes from Michigan,
where there has been a great spread
of the Interest In rifle practice. Ma
ny new rllle clubs are being formed
In that State, and are securing a lim
ited number of the government Krags
through the ordnance department of
the Army The proposition la to have
an Indoor shoot between teams repre
senting tho signal corps of Tpslantl
and Co. I, First Infantry, of Ann Ar
bor, at which the prizes, Instead of
the usual medals or trophies, will be
annuity subscriptions to 'tha seiven
leading military and ride publications
of this country These . publications
will be on filo in the reading room of
the winning team.
So Interested have they become In
rlflo practice In Detroit thnt the Mich
igan State Rifle Association, has
loaned one of its Krags to a shooting
gallery In Detroit, whose proprietor
hns fitted up a spcclul 75-foot gallery
for military rllle practice nnd will
give free Instructions In Its use. This
Is said to be the first commercial rllle
gallery In the United States to pro
vide facilities for practicing with the
national weapon.
How to retain the Interest ot expert
rllle shots In the the sport, Is a ques
tion that has often been discussed. In
writing to the National Board for the
Promotion of Rllle Practice, nn ac
tive organizer of clvllllnn rifle clubs
says that this can best bo done by
the organization of citizens rifle clubs.
Many expert riflemen leave the army
nnd militia nnd drop out of sight. If
they hnd an opportunity to Join a ri
fle club where they would get the use
of government rifles, a range and am
munition to which they were accus
tomed, they would be glad to keep In
practice and the tlmo spent in train
ing them originally would not be lost.
"This proved the case In Detroit a
few weeks ago" says the Board's cor
respondent. "wheh we Porfmed the
Detroit RItle and Revolver Club. Just
such men read of the formation of
the club in the papers and half a doz
en or more applied for membership.
Among them were two from the Can
adian service who retain their Inter
est in shooting and who will make ex
cellent instructors when they get a
range."
While one department of the army
seeks a uniform which renders the
wearer as nearly as possible Invisible
at a short distance, another branch Is
training the soldiers to sight this col
or nnd shoot nt it, thus approaching
battle conditions. To this end the
ordnnnce department has supplied
targets of olive drab for skirmish
runs, and they will be tested at sever
al poRts. In the skirmish firing there
are two figures, one representing a
man kneeling and the other a man
prone, with only the head and shoul
ders showing. The result of the tests
will be awaited with Interest.
The Navy will shortly issue orders
providing for an Increase In pay, for
expert marksmen In the Marine Corps
placing them on a footing with the
expert marksmen of the army. As
the Marine Corps has no ranges it
projioses to arrange with the! Ba;
State, New York State and New Jer
sey State Rifle Associations to allow
the marines to shoot on the range near
Boston, at Creedmore, New York, and
at Sea Girt, New Jersey. The ma
rines at Portsmouthj. Boston and j
Newport, wilt use the Boston range,
those nt New York will go to Creed- j
moor, nnd those at League Island to j
Sea Girt. The marines at Washing- ,
ton and Annapolis will probably use j
the range nt Williamsburg, Virginia.

Cured of Bright' Disease.
Mr. Robert O. Burke, of Elnora, N.
Y., writes: "Before I started to use
Foley's Kidney Cure I had to get up
from twelve to twenty times a night,
and I was all bloated up with dropsy
and my eyesight was so Impaired that
I could scarcely see one of my fam
ily across the room. I had given up
hope of living, when a friend recom
mended Foley's Kidney Cure. One BO
cent bottle worked wonders and be
fore I had taken the third bottle the
dropsy had gone, as well as all other
symptoms of Brlght's Disease." T.
