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.

Up to yesterday in consequence it
had been supposed that the fleet
would be divided before reaching Sr.n
I'edro, one division of four battle
ships dropping out of line at Long
Beach and two other divisions pro
ceeding on to Redondo and Santa
Monica. Officials of the transporta
tion companies were in despair as
the plans for handling the immense
crowds had been based upon the as-
bile parade through the city for the
admirals' and officers on Tuesday and
a grand ball where 250 officers will
appear in full dress at the Shriucrs
Auditorium on Wednesday evening.
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-

taneously. The operators are pro
vided with a harness, holding both
transmitter and receiver to their head
so that their hands may be left free
to operate typewriters to take down
messages,
With the switch at the-central sta
tion is not thrown 'into the circuit
the telephones may be used to con
verse with a single station as usual
without necessitating the use of an
other telephone. 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. It i3 Mld that, a
