WASHINGTON, D. C, October
20,Important change in the pro
gram for the National Rifle Matches
will probably be made at the next
annual meeting of the National
Board for the Promotion of Rifle
Practice. A number of novel ugges
tioni have been advanced, all being
intended to relieve the situation in
cident to the winning of the first four
place in the National Team match
by; the teams repreicnting the reg
ular service. So much distinction in
the rifle world accompanies the win
Am of these prize that the differ-
into the content with great spirit. The
army, navy, and marine corp col
lected their most expert markmcn
from all quarter and apent months
in Meeting and training the teams
which Rally represented them. The
; National Guard teams feel that they
are at a disadvantage under the pre
sent rule, at they are necessarily re
stricted both as to time and ammuni
tion, while the regular service teams
are not. Again, the1 cavalry and in
fantry teams which represent the ar
my, are chosen from fifty or sixty
men who are regularly instructed In
marksmanship and whose pay is in
creased In proportion to -their ikil
with the rifle On; the other hand,
such teams as those from Oklahoma,
Utah, Ariiona, Wyoming and .other
of the States where the National
Cuard are numerically weak, are e
icciea irom a icw hundred men
whose instruction and opportunity to
practice are necessarily limited.' In
many cases the stale dA-naj posjess
ranges of over six hundred yards and
yet their teams are compelled to shoot
against the cracks of the Army, Na
vy, Marine . Corps and of such
States as Massachusetts, New 'Jer
sey and Ohio, all of which are equip-
V ped with excellent ranges, , :
The National Guard is as a whole
willing and anxious' to fry conclu
ion with the army and other service
teams, tut' there is a growing desire
to see conditions adjusted . so that
especially the weaker state will have
a better; chance. Among the sugges
tiont advancd is that two prizes shall
be set aside for the service teams
and that four' prizes" shall be distri
buted to the National Guard teams,
all to shoot at the same time and
place and under similar conditions
It is understood that this plan is fol
lowed in English catches where the
volunteers are not expected to cope
with the regulars, or the i reserves
with either the volunteers or regu
lars.
Another plan which meets with
Considerable favor, provides for di
viding the contestants into three di
visions, the first two to consist of
.seventeen teams each' ad the thrd of
the remaidcr. At Camp Perry, Ohio,
this year, therewere fifty , teams of
twelve men each, entered in the Na
lional Match, representing forty five
states, and territories, the army, navy
and marie corps, and the Naval Aca
demy. Under the , proposed . scheme
the first seventeen teams would . be
entered next summer in the first di
vision, the next seventeen in the sec
ond division nnd the remaining , 16,
with, all new entries, in, the, jthird d
vision. Prizes would be offered in each
division and there would be. a con
stant struggle among the teams in
each division and of the teams' to get
from the third into the second or the
second into the first division.
President Roosevelt has again giv
en evidncce of His strong interest in
rifle practice by t writing letters to
.Sergeant .A.Brest,of the 15th U. S:
Infantry, Lt. A. D. Rothrock, Ohio
National Guard, and to Lieut. S. A.
Harris, 14th, U. S. Infantry, congrat
ulating them on1 winning the Presi
dent's match, the National Individual
Match and the Military . Champion
ship, respectively, ai the recent na
tional rifle matches at Camp Perry,
Ohio. The President's match is shot
under the rules of the National In-
Y dividual Match and the man making
the highest combined score wins the
military, championship.;. Heretofore
the ,. .President generally confiiifli
himself to congratulating the winner
of the President' match, shot under
theuuspieei of the . National " Rifle
Association, but this year he wrote
to all three mentioned.
; As officer abovethe rank of Cap
tain were excluded from the national
matches this year by the wording of
the appropriation-, act, the; language
of President Roosevelt to Lt. Roth
rock and Lt. Harris 1 significant. To
the former he aid, in parti "It 1
true that as an officer you would not
be required in service to use a rifle
but your men 'must', all know how to
shoot or they are useless on the bit
tie line; anJ yoi, f ould not, properly
teach them how to shoot unies you
had the practical knowledge which
only a high class shot can posses."
To Lieut. JIarrt, he ( wrote, in part:
"It ii with special gratification I
write th letter to you, Every ofliccr
of our .army should know how to
shoot the. rifle. Especially Is this true
of those officers who serve with in
fantry and, cavalry ,,; ; p' ,

A Travehnf Man's Experience.
"I must tell you my experience on
an east bound O. R. & N. R. R.. train
from Pendleton to Le Grande, Ore,
write Sam A. Carber, a well known
traveling man. "I wa in the mok-
ing department with ome other trav
eling men when one of them went out
into the coach and came back and
said, There i a woman sick ' unto
death in the car.' 1 at once got up
and went out, found her very ill with
cramp colic, her band and aijms were
drawn up so you could not, straight
en them, and with a death-like look
on her face. Two or three ladies were
working with ber and giving her
whiskey. I went to my suitcase and
got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I
never travel without it), ran to the
water-tank, put a double dose of the
medicine in the glass, poured some
water into it and stirred it ' with a
pencil; then I had quite a time to get
the ladies to let me give it to her, but
I succeeded. I could at Once see the
effect and I worked with her, rubbing
her hands, and in 20 minute I gave
her another dose. By this time, we
were almost into Le Grande, where I
wa to leave the train. I gave the
bottle to the husband to be used in
cae another dose should' be needed,
but by the time the train ran into Le
Grande she was all right, and I re
ceived the thanks ot every passenger
in the car." ' For sale by Frank Hart

PARISIAN TIME FOR VESSELS
ON THE HIGH SEA.
In a memoir recently submitted to
the French Academy of Science,' Pro
fessor Bouque de la Grye offered a
very valuable suggestion that met
with a rather favorable consideration.
According to this suggestion there
wofild have to be created universal
signaling posts for transmitting, by
the aid of wireless telegraphy, the
time corresponding to the meridans
of the earth, to vessels sailing on the
high sea.
A daily signal given out at mid
night from the Eiffel Tower would
thus transmit the time corresponding
to the first meridan to vessels loca
ted on the Atlantic and Mediterra
nean. Captains would thus be kept
posted exactly as to the point on
which their vessel happens to be.
This, however, would mean a mater
ial advance, eliminating any danger,
while dispersing with any laboriaus
time calculation. November Tech
