Mrs. McLeland, 159 Ninth street The Commercial. One of the coziest and most popular resorts in the city is the Commercial. A new billiard room, a pleasant sitting room and handsome fixtures all go to make an agreeable meeting place for gentlemen, there to discuss the topics of the day, play a game of billiards and enjoy the fine refreshments serv ed there. The best of goods are only handled, and this fact being so well known, a large business is done at the Commercial, on Commercial street, near Eleventh. The very best board to be obtained in the city is at "The Occident HoteL" Rates very reasonable. The Palace Restaurant The ever-increasing popularity of the Palace Restaurant is evidence of the good management, and the scrv ice, at this popular dining room. For a long time the reputation of the house has been of tne best and it does not wane, as time progresses The system used, that of furnishing the finest the market affords, and all an be obtained, in season, is a plan that will always win, coupled as it if with the best of cooking and prompt service. A common saying nowadays is "Get the Palace habit" The Clean Man. The man who delights in personal cleanliness, and enjoys his shave, shampoo, haircut, and bath, in As toria, always goes to the Occident barber shop for these things and gets them at their best bo unless they thoroughly understand i themselves all the details of military. rifle and revolver .shooting. They at tend the national competitions, some J of them from states or territories which have not even a rule range. These officers ami enlisted men mix with the finest rifle and revolver1 shots i in the world and absorb much valu able information and ho little equally valuable enthusiasm on rifle and re volver shooting They return to their organizations and ten all they know, which is readily absorbed and dis seminated throughout the entire mili tary force of the state or territory. iThis has been going on with the mili tia for the past four years and during that short period the improvement and interest in military marksman shin have been remarkable. In 1884 competitions were inaugurated in the army, where officers and enlisted men shot together for prizes: this soon developed many officers and enlisted men who were expert rifle shots, and it created in the army much enthu- siam. as a result, wnen tne spannisn War came on, our regular army was the finest body of expert rifle shots in the world. Those who started the National Trophy are working upon small scale to- accomplish the same thing for the National Guard. It cer tainly needs no argument to prove than an educated officer in his mili tary duties is of far more value to the government than an educated enlist ed man, for the reason that the offi cers can be sent to instruct other of ficers and enlisted men. It would really be for the best interest of the United States to have the teams sent to the National Matches composed entirely of commissioned officers; on account, however, of other considera tions, it has been found advisable to have a fair proportion of enlisted men in each team."

The schoolboys of Washington are looking forward to the Easter week tournament which will be the first held in this city where school boys will shoot with military rifles. The movement for schoolboy practice ii spreading rapidly throughout the country, having been greatly stimu lated by the success which it has met in New York City where it is con ducted under the auspices of the Public Schools Athletic League. Washington has no such influential or wealthy organization but the Na tional Capitol Rifle and Revolver Club, which is ,an organization com posed of civilian and military men in about equal numbers, undertook the task and all indications point to a most successful tournament. The schoolboys fell in line and for some weeks the officers of the High School Cadets, which is a crack corps, have been receiving instruction and im parting it to their companies. During Easter week there will be individual matches for the Junior Marksman's medal given by the National Rifle Association, company, battalion and school team matches, ending with special matches for the officers. The War Department and especially the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle practice, is heartily seconding the movement. Gen. Wm. P. Hall and Capt. F. N. Slaydcn, of the Board will be in attendance and Gen. Oliver president of the Board and Assistant Secretary of War t will present the medals and prizes. The National Rifle Association will be represented by Lt. Albert S. Jones, its secretary, who did so much toward making the ew York tournament a success. Capt. Sheridan Ferree, of this city, the well-known expert pistol shot, president' of the club, will be the ex ecutive officer, assisted by Col. E. J. Dimmick who is known to all lead ing riflemen. In addition to provid ing the marksmen, the cadets will also furnish officers for range officers, scorers, markers, etc., and will thus obtain not only instruction in shoot ing but in the actual conduct of real military rifle matches. Each of the ammunition companies and several of the arms companies will have their experts in attendance and the tourna ment is expected to attract wide at tention. The ' War Department has loaned a number of the new Spring fields, fitted with .22 barrels, but other .22 military rifles may be used. The matches will last the entire week. lit;' 'i ! s7W I ft til - V; Is so well put into our clothes that it outwears the finest fabrics.

WILL VISIT ANACORTES. WASHINGTON, April 18.-Two cruisers from the battleship fleet will visit Anacortes while the fleet is in Puget Sound. PHONING TO 3S AT ONCE. Dependent for many years on an antiquated system by which.it was necessary to call up each station h6ttse separately, thus losing much sumption that practically all the vis-! valuable time, the Philadelphia De- itors would insist on seeing the entire fleet and in this case facilities were inadequate. Secretary Metcalf's order providing for the anchoring of the entire fleet at San Pedro until tomorrow was wel comed, by all who planned participa tion in today's reception of the fleet. Chief among the many social af fairs planned in honor of the officers will be a banquet at the Hotel Alex andria Monday evening, an automo partmcnt of Public Safety, which has charge of the city's police, recently installed a system of simultaneous telephony by which a message may be sent from a single transmitter to thirty-five points at once. ' The wires are so connected that, by throwing a single switch, all the stations are brought into the circuit and the words spoken by the opera tor at the central station are heard at each of the outlaying stations simul- Go-Carts Oal)v We have an excellent line in Baby GoCarts the celebrated Allwin it is one cf the easiest riders in carriages.

Similarly it also is possible to hav,e a message come from any one station and go to all the others simultaneously without wait ing to be repeated at the central office. The system has been perfected by a Philadelphian, after over ten' years' experimenting.
