BILLIARD EXPERTS. , CHICAGO, Mar. 3. Willie Hoppe bent Calvin Demarest, the amateur champion, 400 to 355 in the first block of points in their 2,400 point billiard match here last night. Hoppe was playing 18,1 style, in preparation for his coming battle with Jake Schaefer and Demarest was knocking out the caroms at 14.2. , , On the strength of the opening session Hoppe is a little more than twice as strong a billiard player as Demarest for 18.1 is at least twice as difficult as 14.2. 1 .

AN INTER-COLLEGIATE CUP Competed for Annually by Teams Representing the Military and Naval Schools and Other Universi ties of Prominence. WASHINGTON, D. C. March 3 Efforts to interest the school boys in rifle practice sre meeting with con siderable success throughout the country although the work will not be fairly inaugurated until provision is made for its support through the War Department. Gen. Robert Shaw Oliver, Assistant Secretary of War and President of the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice, has recommended that a provision for $100,000 be embodied in the army appropriation bill for the promotion of the rifle practice in public schools, colcges, universities and civilian clubs including the cost of arms, ammuni tion, prises and other incidentals. Under this appropriation indoor and outdoor competitions would be pro vided. This appropriation has been recommended by both the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Prac tice and the board of directors of the National Rifle Association,, and has received endorsement of the National Guard Assoviation of the United States. Gen. Jas. A. Drain and Gen. Geo. W. Wingate will probably pre sent , the matter to the committee, Gen. Drain being president of the National Rifle Association, a member of the National Board and chairman of the committee on legislature of the National Guard Association and Gen. Wingate being known as the "father of rifle practice." At its annual meet ing In Boston recently, the National Guard Association adopted a reso lution endorsing and commending the work of the Nation:) Rifle Associa tion and saying: "we encourage the work of teaching rifle practice to the school-boyj of the country, believing that it will be a great source for re cruits for the National Guard. In Baltimore Maj. S. J. Fort, brig ade inspector of small arms practice, has arranged for a series of afternoon talks upon military subjects, to be held under the auspices of the Balti more High School, Rifle Association, for the purpose of interesting, the boys in rifle practice and National Guard work. These lectures are be ing held weekly at the different arm ories and will extend through 1l arch. Some of the topics are: The National Guard; The Naval Reserve, West Point, The Naval Academy, The Mili tia in the Wars of the United States, The National . Rifle Association and the National Board fof the Promo tion of Rifle Practice, and the De velopment of the American Rifle. All the lectures will be given by retired army or naval officers pr others who arc authorities on the subjects treat ed, This course is attracting a great deal of favorable attention. The well known Capt K. K. V. Casey, inter national expert, delivers the last of the lectures, his topic being scientific rifle shooting. West Virginia has organized ' a state rifle association to affiliate with the, National Rifle Association, with Col. Carlcton C. Pierce, president; Capt. G. S. Wallace, first vice-president; Col. C. A. Osborn, executive officer; Capt II. J. Simmons, Secre tary and Capt. J. II. Chamock, treasurer. Should West Point send a rifle team to Camn Perry this year to com pete against Annapolis in the Nation al Matches a strong effect will be made to secure teams from other col leges and universities for the Inter Collegiate Cup. This handsome trophy was donated with the idea that it would be competed for an nually by teams representing the Mili tary and Naval schools and other universities such as Princeton, Cor-; ncll, Yale and Harvard. Although the naval academy has regularly sent teams which have won high honors, a cadet capturing both the national individual rifle and the national re volver matches last year, West Point has not yet been represented. It is quite probable the academywill send a team this year. Cleveland has appropriated ' $500 for the construction of a range for its police. It will be devoted to revolver practice. Councilman Wertman, him self an expert shot, backed up the recommendations of Chief Kohler, of the police force. Washington has Don't Let Talk Take the Place of Test' Don't let anyone's prejudice or selfish opposition convince you that any of the "Triangle A" brands are not better than any other cigars sold at the same price. , That's no way to judge. ' You can test it' for yourself, and you are the only one who knows when the cigar suits you. Smoke any "Triangle A'! brand and compare it fairly with any other cigar sold at the same price. , We are willing to stake the success of our whole business on public opinion founded on this test. 1 . The experience which has been combined in producing the American Cigar Company's cigars was acquired from the operation of nearly 100 of the most famous and successful factories in Cuba and the Uniled States. And processes of proper refining and scientific blending mean much to every "smoker. , N You cato bank on the "Triangle A" sigp every time. No more raw, green, bitter tobacco in your cigars !

AMERICAN CIGAR COMPANY, Manufacturer Matk A Z2 many fine shots on the police force who not only practice on the official range but find opportunities to prac tice in their own time by belonging to the National Capital Rifle and Revolver Club, the civilian organiza tion in Washington. This club is completing a series of matches with the Baltimore Revolver Club, in which a handsome trophy goes to the club winning three out of five matches. The Baltimore Clnb won the first and the thirti and the Washington Club the second. ; An excellent arrangement is made by Co. E, of Fond du Lac, Wis., for feeding its men on the range.. The day before the practice the cook makes his purchases and they are hauled to the range on a dray, to gether with the amjmtnition and other supplies. Early in the morning he begins preparing dinner which the shooters have piping hot in tfie mid dle of the day. No one is compelled to eat or pay for the dinner unless he wishes, but all present partake, the charge being 25 cents. As a result :he men spend the day on the range and are comfortably fed. Co. E is ono, of the best shooting companies in the state. It is proposed to expend between $40,000 and $50,000 on the rifle range and encampment grounds of the Iowa National Guard near Dcs Moines this summer. About 287 acres of land will be utilized. A water works system will be installed and other improvements made. Concrete bases will be put in for the targets which will be at distances of from 500 to 1,500 yards. The range is across the river, the natural elevation of about 193 feet forming a backstop which eliminates danger from bullets mis sing the targets. This backstop is enclosed1 with wire fencing to keep animals and persons out of danger and guards will be stationed along the river to warn hunting, boating and fishing parties, t Iowa promises to be a strong bidder for the National Matches for 1909 or 1910; In his report to the War Depart ment Maj. Gen. W. J. Mickle of Indi ana, team captain for his state at Camp Ferry, O. last year, recom mends the prohibition on the range of all meteorolical instruments, also verniers and other sight adjusters not permanently attached to the rifle. He thinks there should be some limitation of the size and power of telescopes to such as could be easily carried by an enlisted man in the field in addition to other equipments, or that they should be confined to field glasses. Gen. Mickle thinks the use of white on the front sights should be permitted at that smoking of the same shoulirbe prohibited. Sighting shots should be discontinued. TELEPOST. Hint Fbr Book Lenders. 'A book borrower's album Is the de vice which a woman who hns a fine library has employed In order that she may keep track of her books and that hor friends may not be delinquent In returning them. She delighted In lend Ing her books, but was far from pleased In punching her friends up for their return. Now when a friend asks the loan of a book she acquiesces readily enough, but requests the borrower t'i write In the album his or her name and the date on which the book Is bor rowed. On returning It the borrower Is asked to comment on the book nnd Initial It This album always Is kept In a conspicuous place In the drawlns room, where visitors are likely to pick It up and glance it through, learning who Is not prompt In returning books. Tbe result Is that this woman now hns her books returned promptly, as the borrowers know they will bo convicted In the album if they are delinquent. They take kindly to the plan, tbe lend er does not have to prod them for the return of the books, and she has an album which Is valuable to her as con taining the comments of her friends on tbe treasures in her library. New York Press. Four Wires do the Same Amount of Work as Sixty-eight i NEW YORK, Mar. 3.-Although obliged to carry on its construction operations as quietly as possible, the new telegraph company, the Telepost, is making excellent progress with the establishment of its lines. "Every ten miles we can get built before the old companies know what we are doing," a Telepost official says, "means a saving of at least 50 per cent. That we are making rapid headway with our lines is shown by our expenditures for poles and cross arms now in place.". Besides its own construction, the Telepost, especially in the western states, will have the advantage of us ing independent telephone : wires. Using the Dclany authomatic pend ing and receiving apparatus, the Tel epost can make four wires do the work of sixtyeight as . operated by the best ' existing methods. This gives a tremendous advantage to the Telepost in two most important par ticulars, first cost and maintenance of lines. This and other ejonomies make possible a high rate of earnings on the Telepost's rate of 25 cents for 25 words between all points. On "tele posts" - delivered at destination through the mails, the rate is only 25 cents for 50 words. Its net cost per message is figured at 11 cents,, while the Western Union and Postal cost is 30 cents. This comparison shows a net profit of 14 cents per message to the new company even at its much lower rates. , NO FOOTSTEPS DOGGED HIM. 'Do you believe in chasing shad ows?"
