GUARDSMEN TALK OVER BIG SHOOT Pleased With Work of the District Boys at Sea Girt. SOON TO RESUME DRILLS Grand Anny Encampment to Bring Militiamen Into Service All Anxious to Make Good Showing Before Vet erans of Civil War. "The reason we did not win the Inter state and Hilton matches at Sea Girt was that the other boys had the luck, and you cannot disguise the fact," said Major James E. Bell, Inspector general of rifle practice of the District of Co lumbia militia. Another officer of the militia and a member of the rifle team, said: "Wo won everything wo did not go after." The shoot is the principal topic of con versation in Xational Guard circles at present. The team and its followers are somewhat disappointed at not being able to bring back with them tho Hilton Trophy and the Wimbleton Cup. The knowledge however, that they won twelve prizes, a majority, seems to please all. Besides having fared so well the District won the right to three rep resentatives on the American team shooting for the Palma Trophy in Canada. In truth, there are five representatives of the District on the American team, for Horace Bell, son of Major Bell, and Hall Leizear, also members of the team, secured their training with the National Guird of the District, and until recently shot with the teams. Lieutenant Bell -was inspector of rifle practice of the Second Battalion until he removed to New Jersey. While here .Lieutenant Leizear was also a prominent member of the National Guard. He has moved to Pennsylvania. Drills Soon to Begin Nearly all the company organizations will begin drilling this week. They were suspended as soon as the boys returned from their annual outing at Leesburg. and there has been hut little activity around the armories. The coming encampment of the Grand Army ot,the Republic will call the Na tional Guard 'into service. '"While- 'therj have heen no orders issued irom head quarters. It Is known that the soldier boys will be called out to take part m the Dig military parade on October 7. From the brigadier general down to ithe lowest private in the rear rank all are anxious to make this -assembly the finest of their lives. The commanders of companies will undoubtedly call extrr drills, and there -will also be battalion assemblies. Undoubtedly by the time they are called out the boys will be in condition to make a fine showing. They feel that they will be on in spection. There will bo thousands an thousands of men in Washington on that day who have done nothing but talk about military and "war affairs for forty years. The soldiers are best critics of a soldier, hut the members of the Na tional.GnadVsay JbaJhey will not have a chance to criticize them unless it is favorably. " " Riflemen at Ordway.

He was picked up Friday in a state of beastly intoxication. "What have you to say?" asked Judge Bundy, fiercely. "I don't suppose it's worth while say ing anything," replied Cleary.

Duvall, the Corporation Counsel, an opinion upon the recommendation of the Excise Board, requesting Information whether the Heme for the Aged, conducted by the Little Sisters of the Poor, is a house of religious worship within the meaning of the act of Congress regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors in the Dis trict, It appears that Maurice Sheehan is at present the holder of a barroom license at 127 H Street northeast, and that he desires to remove his saloon to 145 H Street northeast, and to have his li cense transferred to the latter number. The premises to which 'Mr. Sheehan de sires to move are about 300 feet from the entrance to tho home. On the second floor of the home is a chapel.

Mr. Duvall quotes tho law relating to the matter contained in section 15 of tho act of Congress, approed May 11, 1S94, as follows: Quotes From the Law. "That license for any of the purposes specified In any section of said act shall not bo granted to any person to conduct such business within 400 feet of a public schoolhousc, private school, or house of religious worship, measured between the nearest cntrauce to each by the short est course of travel between such place of business and any schoolhousc, pri vate school, or house of religious wor ship, except in such places of business as were located and licensed at the date of tho said act or previous to the erec tion or occupation of such schoolhousc, private school, or place of religious wor ship" In view of the provisions of the law, Mr. Duvall gives it as his opinion that the chapel referred to Is a house of re ligious worship within the meaning and intent of the law. He also gives It as his opinion that the distance between the said house of worship and tho pro posed location of any barroom is to be measured from the exterior entrance of the home. It is understood that, in view of the instructions of the Corporation Counsel, the proposed transfer of the license will be denied.

Fagut for the remission of Interest on the general tax for the year 1SS7 on certain property of Mr. M. R. Goddard.

K Mr. Duvall advised the Commissioners that they were authorized to remit tho interest and to accept the principal of the tax as tendered by the owner of tl property.
