LAST DAY J MEET Rifle Tournament Closes Today at Camp Perry. PISTOL MATCH OPENED AT 3 Flans to Change Rules in Future Meet. MILITIA ARE NOT SATISFIED Unfair Arlvantacp Is Given Re&rular Army and Navy Competitors, They Say. CAMP PERRY. Ohio. August .17.?The last day of the rifle tournament opened with the unfinished national individual match, in which Dortch of the Navy team was leading: at the conclusion of yesterday's skirmish and rapid-tire stages. The conditions were perfect. The pistol match, the final contest of the meeting, was begun at o'elfjck with leu contestants. This match was won last year by Midshipman Willis J. Lee. jr.. of Indianapolis. Last Two Events. The last two events of the two weeks' rifle tournament are on the program today. the National Individual and the National Pistol matches, tinder the auspices of the national board for the promotion of rifle practice. The National Individual match, tiring in which began yesterday afternoon, is fought out on the same ranges as was the National team match. The order, however, is different. It began with the skirmish run. The 2co-yard rapid fire came next, followed by the tSX>. boo. son and 1.000 yards slow fire with the service rifle and ammunition. '1'L^ in 1?UVT n-oe Po/lot TVillic.

Silver medals are awarded ,he contestants making the next twelve best scores and bronz? medals the third twelve. There are three special prizes of $"JO. w;th which go gold medals, for the highest aggregate skirmish, rapid fire and slow fire scores. National Pistol Match. The national pistol match, in which the District is represented by over half the team, is ten shots, twenty seconds a shot, at seventy-five yards; ten shots at twenty-five yards and at fifty yards, with a time limit of twenty seconds for each five shots, and ten shots rapid fire at fifteen and twenty-five yards, eight seconds to each score of five shots. For excellence in this contest there are four gold medals and rash prizes amounting to $!? ">; four silver medals and $Gd; and four bronze medals and ?40: together with a gold medal and $1?? for the best slowfire aggregate, and gold medals and $1.1 prizes for the high slow-fire and rapidfir^ score. The camp is rapidly breaking up today. The majority of the teams will have left before taps sounds on the last night. New York and New Jersey left last evening. Just when the District will break camp tomorrow afternoon Major Robbins has not decided. Changes Needed. That some radical changes In the conduct of the national match are under serious consideration by influential members of the national board for the promotion of rifle practice is well known here. Two innovations are proposed, and there is good reason for believing that they will be effected before long, one or both of n.* iii jici wiimn a year. une is ine forcing of the United States service teams to compete with the National Guard teams on a fair footing, which is rot now the case. In the first place, the United States Infantry. Cavalry. Navy and Marine Corps teams are selected from all the members of those organisations, while a state team must be picked from a limited area. Tlr-re are Infantrymen here from the Philippines and Cuba and sailors from the Pacific fleet especially for the national match Furthermore, the regulars have unlimited time of practice for the match, while the guardsman, having o'her business, must practice as he can. The regulars picked their squads of fifteen early in the spring, and they have since done practically nothing else hut live on the butts. That the regulars must he limited both in the area jfrom which they may select their teams and in the extent of their practice is strong feeling of the officials of the state teams. Departmental Meets. Another change in the conduct of the maicnes is up lor discussion, and there are leading riflemen who prophesy that it will be made In a year. This is the splitting up of the contest for the national match into divisional compttitions, followed by a final contest by a few teams for the trophy. The argument is made that the match now is too cumbersome. and that in the great Held of competitors tie third-rate and fourth-rate teams get lost. The proposition to have the states in the various sections of the country. j>erhaps according to the boundaries of the departments of the army, meet and pick the winner to represent those sections at the national match would bring to the front the less powerful teams. The little fellow would then be large or larger, and his interest would thereby i>e spurred. These departmental competitions would also work toward limiting the territory from. which the members of the service team- would be picked. This plan also <ails for the shooting of the national match on a neutral range, where none ?-f the contestants had practiced, thus putting the contest on the basis of actual battle conditions?unknown ground. The winners of these simultaneous sectional shoots would meet at some central point, get up the next morning and fire their first shots in the match. This year the set vice^teams camped here for from three to six weeks before the match opened, ar.d worked up local conditions, whereas the National Guard teams, composed of persons who have other things to do, came only a few days before the match. Itt a word, there is a pronounced feeling that the national match has resolved itself into a professional-amateur fight, which fact is hound to decrease interest in th< contest and to injure the cause of rifle shotting in the National Guard. ' In yesterday afternoon's skirmish and rapid-fire in the national individual match Lieut. Powers, with vj and respectively. was high among the District's contestants. Dortsch of the navy led the ieid wjili l.'Mt. In the national pistol natch there are l.\o contestants. Johnson. Boswell. Orange Peel. Kr?>m Sh?* <"lit?nti?1??. T.adv Diana Beauelerk. the second Duke of MarllxM-ough's eldest daughter. who died Aiikust 1 a century ago. was famous for many things in her time. Horace Walpjole extravagantly praises her artistic senius. She was the heroine of two notorious unhappy marriages, the second of wi ich was t<> Johnson's friend Topham Beauelerk. But she is remembered now most of all. probably, because it was site wno cared Boswell (stimulating him with a smsll bet) to ask Johnson what he did witii the orange peels that lie used to pocket at the club after consuming the juice. Boswell saw him scrape them ^nd Johnson admitted that lie then dried them. But "1 have a great love for them." was all he would say to I heir use. which Boswell sever learnt. An earlier letter of Johnson's to a lady, however, recommending dried and powdered orange peel in hot port wine for huogestion seems to give the key. \ MISAPPLIED HIS GENIUS TENNESSEE MAN CAUGHT AFTER LONG CHASE. Will Be Tried for Audacious Attempt at Swindling?Used Alleged Bills of Lading. CHICAGO. August 27.?A dispatch to the Tribune from Memphis. Tenn.. says: "The mysterious E. Gately, arrested in New York after a long chase by I'nited States officers, will be tried here for an audacious attempt at swindling for one of his years. "Gately, whose real name is David Steinberg:, is a boy still in his teens, and for eighteen months he had been sought for misuse of the mails. Steinberg had correspondence with a Chicago tanning company in regard to a shipment of hides worth $7.attO. "While working for Steinberg & Co., wholesale hide dealers here, the boy. who is distantly related to S. Steinberg, is alleged to have rented a typewriter, purchased stationery and in the back room of a squalid lodging house start^l the business of the Memphis Hide and Fur Company. "Study of business letters is said to have enabled him to learn the way to frame his correspondence, and with a recklessness which ended in his undoing he started to furnish the hide trade with sensational quotations. "He obtained money orders on alleged hills of lading forwarded from Memphis, and is said to have realized considerable sum of money. The government officials were never able to learn how much Steinberg accumulated, for discovery of the alleged fraudulent concern was made by his employer, who dismissed him from his service. "Those who knew him believe he made thousands of dollars by the nervy deals he executed. He neither drank nor gambled, but had a wild desire for wealth." ALCOHOL FROM PEAT. Difficulties Which Have Recently Been Surmounted. From die Engineering Magazine. Although the normal cycle of plant life is to return to the soil the elements taken from it. there exist certain conditions under which this process of restitution may be suspended indefinitely, and the remains of countless generations of plant life preserved in a state of arrested decay. Deposits of vegetable matter formed in this way are known as peai uog?. anu i?iey can exist oiuy ? ucre the subsoil is capable of retaining water, the climate humid, and the mean temperature sufficiently high to stimulate a rapid growth of the aquatic plants to which the peat owes its formation. The result of such a combination of conditions is that the decaying sedge in the early stages of its decomposition becomes pickled, the "pickle" being furnished by the decaying vegetation itself, in the form of certain peat acids of -an antiseptic character which act as a preservative. The important point to the alcohol manufacturer is that the decay of the peaiforming plant. life is arrested before its qualities a san alcohol base have become impaired, and the early recognition of this fact led a number of investigators to try to turn it to practical use. They were all. ihowever. unable to surmount certain difficulties, the character of which they failed to understand rightly, and it seems to have been reserved for Lagerheim and Frestadius to be the first to work out a satisfactory process. Their discoveries have been corroborated by the investigations of Sir William Ramsay, and if all that is claimed for them is true they can be compared in importance only I to such epoch-making inventions as the Bessemer process for meking steel. < NO MOBE PHOSSY JAW. > , White Phosphorus in Match Manufacture to Be Prohibited. From the Ix>ndon Chronicle. After many years of agitation the use of tlie deadly white phosphorus In the manufacture of matches Is snnn to ho r?rn hibited. A bill, backed by Herbert Gladstone and Herbert Samuel, with this object in view was introduced in the house of commons last week, and fuller details of the measure, which was issued from the printers Saturday, will give satisfaction to the thousands of people employed in this dangerous trade. The government's action is the indirect result of- the Berne labor conference of September. 1906. when representatives of France. Germany, Italy. Holland, Denmark and Switzerland consented to the prohibition. Great Britain then withholding her agreement. As the outcome of a consultation with the manufacturers the promoters of the bill now before parliament have made it possible j for less dangerous substitutes for white, phosphorus which are protected by patents to be obtained on'reasonable terms by all manufacturers. The use of the poisonous white phosphorus is not necessary in the business [of rnatch-making. Its employment, moreover, is highly dangerous to the workpeople. for it gives rise to the painful disease of necrosis of the jaw, commonly known as "phossy jaw." This disease has much the same effect on those attacked by it as that of leprosy, and it works the same horrible ravages on the face and hands. The bill, if it passes into law. will not only forbid the use of white phosphorus in the manufacture of matches, but will also make It illegal for any one to sell or import matches in the making of which white phosphorus has been used. ENGLISH ARTISTS NOT SAILORS. For Them Tennis Is the Chief Recreation?Little Gulf. From the laradon *i!obo. The number of F^nglish artists who take to the sea as a pastime may probably he numbered on the lingers of one hand, and those for the most part pursue maritime art as a profession. It comes, therefore, as a surprise to bear of a French artist, and especially one with tastes apparently so Parisian as Al. Paul Helleu. having from his youth upward indulged a passion for sailing and now in the heyday of success flying the Hritlsh flag above an Kngllsh built yacht, with Southampton as his headquarters. It is given to few artists to be able to afford the expense of a vessel of considerable size, but M. Helleu Just now is basking in the sunshine of prosperity and world-wide renown. The story goes that he recently made .-(O.oon francs from two etchings that only cost him two afternoons' work. In company with M. Sem lie will probably cross to Trouville and other French watering places at the close of the Cowes and Ryde weeks. British artists as a rule affect lawn tennis as a recreation in preference to any other game. At this they attain to a level of excellence which they as a body appear unable to reach at cricket, golf or foot ball. Mr. A bey, R. A., for some years captained a team of artists and lias even had a cricket week at his country home, but botli these popular functions have. we understand, been abandoned this year. Tennis '-an. of course, oe more easily practiced, especially by those artists so fortunate as to possess large gardens, and Mr. Shannon. A. K. A., even aspires to enter the lists of the premier tournament abroad, namely. Hornburg, where he probably at this moment is playing a lively game on the courts I whereon for many years a very nromi netit figure was his old neighbor Van I'rinsep. Richest Girl in Oklahoma. From the Wall Street Journal. Ruth Tate Brady of Oklahoma is the richest girl in the far west. She is twelve years old and has in her own right an income of $400 a day. Her mother was a half-blood Cherokee Indian. Miss Brady received WO acres of public land on the allotment, and on tills tract oil wells have been developed producing daily I'.OUO barrels of oil. \V.

STOWAWftlMH CABIN Uses Anothers Name and Entertains With Songs. CAUGHT AT END OF TRIP Trnmiflrrotinn rtffip?r? Ttie?nv?r T?rand JkUliUigA I* VAVM W?UVV?0 A/1UVV * VA * *???*? When Ship Docks. SAYS HE IS BICH MANS SON Conceals Identity to Save Humiliation?Now in Heavy Shackles for Trying to Escape. NEW YORK, August 27.?Successfully passing himself off as a cabin passenger on the Prince Joachim of the Atlas service of the Hamburg-American steamship line, a stowaway who says he is Michael Davis, member of a wealthy Philadelphia family, made the tripe from Colon. Panama. in style, but was detected by the immigration officials at this port when it was found that there were two passengers traveling under the same name on the same ticket. Despite a daring effort to escape by slipping out of the manacles and attempting to dive naked through a porthole. the man is now held captive byheavy iron shackles and ropes, awaiting the decision of the authorities regarding the disposition of his case. Claims "R.inVi ItalaHvac The young man says he is the son of wealthy Philadelphia parents, but although he has been given every opportunity by the officials of the line to communicate with them, he has not yet done so. He says he is ashamed.to let them know of his plight! f this feeling , of mortification continues he will be shipped over to Ellis Island and maybe back to Panama, unless he can prove he is an American citizen, in which case he will probably go to jail. The Prince Joachim left Colon seven ' days ago, and the second day out First ' Officer Duval noticed the young man ] Jauntily walking about on 'the promenade deck. Duval didn't remember liav- \ ing seen him before, but he was so well , dressed and had such an air of graceful , assurance that there was not a suspicion < that all was not in order. < Fooled Ship Officers. "You are a first-class passenger, are ' you not, sir?" asked Duval. ] "Certainly," answered the young man; . "John Rawling, cabin 102. Have a ci- ' gar?" , As it was found that "John Rawling's" < ticket had been handed in nothing more. 4 was thought of the affair. 4 wii IIIC \ ut\ iwc ? uuiif, man mauc more friends than any other stowaway in the history of navigation. He was good looking, he sang well and accompanied himseit gracefully on the piano. He played bridge faultlessly, and auctioned pool with a humorous dignity that made the losers think they were winners. His table talk was sprightly and full of wit, and every woman on board admired him. , But when the Prince Joachim docked Tuesday night the trouble began for "Mr. Rawiing." The checking off of the passengers showed another "John Rawiing," and a search was made for the bogus one. He was found hiding in a lavatory and had to confess that he had beat his passage. "Temporarily Embarrassed/' "Temporary necessity forced me to it," he said. "My family is wealthy. Allow me to go out and communicate with them and I will get the money for my passage." "We'll look you up. that's what we'll do," stormed Capt. von Reitner. "and you can telegraph." He was handcuffed and placed in a cabin. In the earlv hours of the mornlnt* the watcher outside the improvised cell heard a noise inside, and opening the door found tiiat "Mr. Rawling" had slipped the cuffs, taken off his clothes and was preparing to squeeze through the porthole and make a swim of it. Capt. von Leitner was again called, and he ordered the handcuffs, the leg shackles and the pinioning to the wall. MUSIC RACK IN THE PIANO. Handy Arrangement for Disposition of the Necessary Sheets. The piano student is not long in accumulating a great amount of music and the disposition of this material is always a problem in the household of ordinary proportions. Of course, it is possible to secure by purchase music racks and cabinets in a variety of forms and sizes, and among the devices of this character there is the combination stool and cabinet, in which a moderate amount of music may be readily stored. But an exceedingly unique scheme for meeting this problem Is shown in the accompanying cut, which has been recently embodied in a patent granted to a Chicago woman. In this, the paneled end of the piano case is made in tlie shape of an unobstrusive door. When this is opened a number of shallow receptacles of such shape and dimensions as to receive the sheets, which are usually of standard size, ate revealed. The proportions of tliis swinging shelf are such as to accommodate four pockets, each of which will hold sixty of seventy pieces of music. Tipping Custom. From the London Chronicle. The custom of tipping in this country is of ancient origin, as also are the protests whieh it lias invariably railed forth. So long ago as 17!>-"? we find that ubiquitous correspondent. "Constant Reader," complaining in the columns of the Times that "if a man who iuis a horse puts up at an inn. besides the usual hill, he must at least give Is to the waiter, 6d 3 to the chambermaid. 6d to the ostler and fid to the Jack-boot, making .together 2s <1. At breakfast you must give at I least Kd between the waiter and ostler. If the traveller only puts up to have a refreshment. besides paying for his horses' standing be must give 3d to the ostler, at dinner fid to the waiter and 3d to the ostler; at tea 6d between them, so that he gives away in the days 2s '6d, which, added to the 2s 6d for the night, makes 5s per day on an average to servants." Irving Beal. W. O. Clark and Alfred tioodshine, three white prisoners in the city jail at Petersburg. Va.. attempted to make their escape by cutting through the walls of the prison. When their plot was discovered they had completed their work with the exception of removing one layer of bricks. i | REMNANTS | Ribbon remnants All the remnants meet tomorrow for final parting.
