M’ALPIN CHAMPION.
RECORD-BREAKER.
Carteret Club Gunner Won
Big Amateur Shoot.

Out of One Hundred.

to Second Place.
New York World.
To the finishing round the contest for
the amateur pigeonshooting champion
ship. concluded on the Carteret Gun
club’s grounds, Garden City, L. 1., yes
t< rday, was as hot a race as the close
shooting of the opening day promised
it would be.
The end saw the amateur record of
95 kills, held for four years by Joseph
I*. Knapp, wiped out, George S. McAl
pin, the winner of the 1899 champion
ship and Foxhall Keene trophy, grass
ing 96 birds of the 109 released for him
and adding to the brilliancy of his tri
umph by killing 49 of the 50 he shot
at in the second day. Louis Duryea was
his closest rival, and with one bird be
tween them the two went through the
tiial of nerve and skill in away that
compelled admiration from even the
n’ost stolid of the veteran trapshooters
present.
of the IS amateurs who faced
tiaps Tuesday 14 were qualified to go
in the second day, Hooper, Hokaw,
If nton, and Ellison having withdrawn.
The first trap was sprung promptly on
•s< hedule time, 9.30 a. ni„ when the com.
p. titors had the clubhouse almost to
themselves, but as the race went on ar
rivals swell, d the number of spectators
to respectable proportions. The de
creased siz. of the field aided in mak
ing the shooting fast and in full swing
a few minutes after the shooting train
reached Garden City and the amateur
championship never dragged for an in
stant.
in the betting Guthrie opened favor
ite, but soon dropped back and McAl
pin became favorite. This was due to
Guthrie's streak of bad luck after kill
ing straight to his 55th bird. That one
he lost and with it went his 57th and
58th, the three misses throwing him
back among the fielders of tho race.
Duryea shot well, but lie, too, stumbled
against hard luck in spots.
The end of the 75th round found 12
men still In the big event, Foxhall
Keene, with 12 tost birds, and Francis,
■with 9 misses against him, being then
retired' by the referee under the rules,
wh ch permitted this, but gave the re
tired men the privilege of reentry
should failures by other shooters give
them a seeming chance later on.
in the final 25 the struggle was prac
tically between McAlpin and Duryea.
McAlpin shot to his best form, and
that, proved in many a hard match, is
not far from the best in the country.
The only bird he missed was his 44th,
a fast and strong circling incomer,
which got away apparently untouched.
After Duryea lost his 81st bird the
leaders were tied, and it was as eVen
a thing as has ever been seen until, at
the 98th bird of the championship, Du
ryea made a miss that settled the race
in favor of McAlpin.
The winner, George S. McAlpin,
though he has been shooting at live
birds for.only a little more than three
years, has been twice second in the am
ateur championship.
The value of the championship to the
winner was $720 in money and S2OO in
plate. Duryea, second, gathered in
$450, and Pointer, third, with 93 birds,
$270. Guthrie, Captain Money, and
Welch tied for fourth place and divided
SIBO.

LOST ON HIS OWN TRICK.
Deroit Free Press.
“I don’t play it and don't approve of
It. but a recent poker story from Lan-
Bing reminds me of an incident there
a few years ago,” and with this pre
lude a Detroit railway man tells the
story.
“The scene was in the uper story of
the hotel, five men sitting in the game
and several looking on. Among the
players was a lawyer of whose
name would be recognized throughout
the state. He had a cold deck on his
knee to be introduced when a rich jack
pot was at stake. By shuttling the
cards in use and then making a deft
change before dealing he would have
four aces. One of the outsiders saw the
trap, slyly abstracted the fixed deck,
and substituted another. When the
time came for the coup the lawyer made
the change without detection, neglect
ed to look at his cards the first round,
and made a stiff raise as he lifted his
hand.
“He let out a gasp, threw the cards
face upon the table, and shouted:
'• ’Gentlemen, 1 decline to have any
thing more to do with the game; some
body’s been monkeying with the
cards.’ ”

THE SAVANNAH PRESS: FBI DAY AFTERNOON. FEBRUARY 24. 1b99.
LEPROSY IN PORTO RICO.
NEW HORROR ADDED TO OUR WEST |
INDIAN ISLAND.
People Afflicted With the Disease Al-1
lowed to Go Free on Island.
According to Dr. F. Irving Dia'orow. !
I lately a surgeon in the United States I
, army, one of the results of the Spanish )
' evacuation of Porto Rico was that the I
j lepers on the island were allowed to go )
■ free. Ho far as he is aware no effort |
I has since then been made to segregate ;
I them. At any rate, while he was on ;
j duty there he had opportunity to study ’
the lepers around Ponce, San Juan, and )
! several other Porto Rican cities.
i "The favorite resorts of the lepers,” j
1 he said, ‘’were the city markets, and ■
, several of them could be seen there .
I inmost any day. The sight of these !
j creatures around the stalls where meat )
I and vegetables were sold was enough j
) to make one shrink from eating any- )
thing in the city. Another favorite re- i
sort of the lepers was the plaaa and ,
the streets branching from it. Here!
they made capital of their misfortune '
j and boldly displayed their afflictions. I
AU the various kinds of leprosy are )
I represented by these Porto Rican
) lepers. There are specimens of the tu-
I Itercu’lar variety, which is characteriz
ed principally by ulcers and other
■ sores; the macular, which causes spots
■ and discolorations on the body and can.
, not always be detected in the face; the '
I anaesthetic, in Which the fingers and
tnes, and sometimes even whole limbs, '
decay and drop <>ff. and the tubercuio
anaesthetic, which is a mixed form, in '
which the ‘leonine countenance’ is seen |
and in which the flesh on the face j 1
seems to lie In ridges, the bridge of the'
nose disappears and sometimes the 1
lobes of the ears. ’
"Some of these creatures, being al
lowed to go wherever t-hey chose, re
turned to their families and lived with |
them in the huts which serve as homes (
to the lowest classes’ in Porto Rleo,
and, though I have been pretty much
all over the world. I 'have never seen 1
anything much lower in the human
scale than these natives. They are a
mixture of negro and Spanish and I •?
don't know what else besides. I was
told that some of these lepers had mar- '
ried since being let out, but I don’t
know that of my own knowledge.
"This mingling of the lepers with the
more healthy native population parried ,
one very serious danger to our soldiers. ,
Many of the native women, who were . '
not too lazy to work at all, took In the
army washing, and the possibility of!,
contagion, In case there was a leper in ' ,
the household of the native washerwo- .
man. was serious In the extreme. The L
natives themselves seem to have no
fenr of leprosy, and, considering the I
way In which they live, it Is a wonder j
that even more of them do not die of I (
the disease. They live in shacks built ]
on four posts driven into the ground.),
To avoid dampness the platform of thej,
hut is laid on these posts and the top ;
is thatched with cocoanut or palm leaf. I ]
It costs practically nothing to build one : j
of these shacks. The natives used to j (
come around the camps and beg or.
steal discarded tomato cans and such !
things, which they would break up and ,
use as a covering for their huts. They ;
have no bedding, but sleep on the floor )
or in improvised hammocks. The poor- )
est classes have no cooking utensils ex
cepting a. charcoal pot. while those
who are not quite so poor and shiftless
'have brick ovens.
"Among these poor people one sees
many cases of elephantlesls. This is
not leprosy, but a very disfiguring dis
ease, in which the lymphatic glands
swell to many times their normal size, j
There has been much argument as to
whether this disease could be commit- )
nicated, but the question still awaits a
satisfactory solution. While in Porto
Rico 1 personally examined a number
of leprous subjects, f consider 'this
question of leprosy in Porto Rico a
very serious one. As far as lam
aware no effort 'has been m'ade to iso
late the lepers and, owing to the cli
matic conditions there, the disease is
almost certain to spread."

I The Chicago Chronicle tells of a
’' bright boy who is fond of hearing sto- )
) ries about authors. He had dubbed .
Rudyard Kipling as the greatest story)
:) teller in the world. His mother is very )
j proud of his literary accomplishments
)an<f frequently calls him away from his
' 1 play when she is entertaining callers
: ] to have him comment on Kipling. Not
. 'long ago the little fellow began the
■ study of the catechism, and so interest
- ed did he become that he almost forgot
■ his literary knowledge. One day his
. mother called him into the reception
s room, where three lady friends smiled
at him sweetly and said:
5 "Who is the greatest story teller in
| the world?"
"I dont know,” replied the lad.
-| “Oh, yes. you do: now, tell me who is
the greatest story teller in the world?"
said his mother, smiling and glancing
I at the callers beneath her dark lashes.:
’) "Adam,” he said stoutly.
His mother corrected him and showed)
him so plainly that he had made ai
mistake, impressing the idea so firmly!
[iron his mind that . the next day at
Sunday school, when he was asked who
was the first man, he promptly and un
hesitatingly replied:

THE POPE’S LETTER.
WHAT HE SAYS TO CARDINAL
GIBBONS.
Fapal View, on Americanism Made
Public Today.
Baltimore, Feb. 23. —An approved
i translation of the pope’s letter to Car
) dinal Gibbons, giving the papal views
• of "Americanism." was made public to
) day.
His holiness, commenting on the con
! troversy which has grown out of the
) French translation of the iate Father
i Hecker, founder of the “Society Paul
ists,” distinctly an American order,
says:
"The rule of life laid down for Cath
olics by the Vatican council is not of
such a nature that it cannot accommo
date itself to the exigencies of various
times and places.
"In regard to ways of living, the
church has been accustomed to hold
that, divine principles of morals being
left intact, she has not neglected to
atccommodate herself to the character
and genius of the nations which she j
embraces.
“The confounding of license with lib
erty, passion for discussing and pour
ing contempt on any "possible subject,
the assumed right to hold whatever
opinions one pleases upon any subject
and to set them forth in print to the
world, have so wrapped minds In
darkness that there is now greater
need of churches teaching office than
ever before, lest people become un
mindful of both conscience and of
duty.”
The posse says chat, while he believes
there was no thought of wrong or guilt
in the opinions of Father Hecker, yet
they certainly merit some degree of
suspicion.

A COMPROMISE MEASLRE WILL BI

It Will be Bated on an Aamy of On<
Hundred Thousand Men.
Washington, Feb. 23. —The adminis
tration and its representatives in con
'' gress have reached an agreement wit!
! the minority in congress respecting the
i army reorganization bill which, it is
I believed, will be satisfactory to all in
' terested.
Probably all that remains to be done
' is the ratification of the agreement be
! tween the majority "and minority and
i that will be had today.
The compromise is based on an armj
of 190,000 men, of whom 35.000 will be
known as the provisional army and wil.
be enlisted to serve until 1901.
Arrangements are made for a full
staff corps as in the Hull bill and, gen
! erally speaking, it is said that the ar
rangements .-fleeted saves those fea
tures of that measure which the presi
dent regards most essential, while in a
) large measure removes the objection ol
the minority, which was based on the
fear that the regular army was to be
permanently increased.

conference with Messrs. Allen. Hawley

It is believed that the agreement

Bonds Are to Draw Six Per Cent Internet

Tennille, Feb. 23.—An election was
held here today to determine the ques
tion whether the town of Tennille
should Issue bonds for the payment of
the indebtedness on the school build
ing. The polls closed at 4 o'clock and
the ballot gives to the mayor and
council authority to issue said bonds.
These will be 15 in number, aggregat
ing $1,500, and will be redeemed, with
interest at six per cent, one bond being
retired each year until the-last is paid.
The indebtedness upon thtwbuildlnf has
not interfered with the prosperity of
the school, the attendance this term
being larger than ever before. Re
cently it became necessary to increase
' thS size of the faculty and Miss Hester
) E. Marsh was elected to the position.
What might have been a very disas

terday. Early in the afternoon smoke
was seen Issuing from the house occu
pied by Mr. Howard M. Twitty/ on
Smith street. On investigation the
fire wns located in the kitchen between

was given, neighbors quickly respond

IS
I- ———
The aches and pains of Rhenma

fl panion to all who are victims of
this disabling disease. The peo
y pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
“ though thousands know its tor-
H tures. *
i-) Everybody should know that
” Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con
dition of the blood, upon which all

a disease and force it out. Swift’s

lit is the only blood remedy free
'J from mercury, potash and other
[minerals which intensify the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joints
and aching of the bones.
S. S. S. neutralizes the acid
