FOR RIFLE FlUCTICE
Effort Being Made to Secure
Teams From Colleges.
AN INTER-COLLEGIATE CUP
Competed for Annually by Teams

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 !
Is that worth the trouble ?

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

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. ,
