6 M’ALPIN CHAMPION. RECORD-BREAKER. Carteret Club Gunner Won Big Amateur Shoot. He Lost But One Bird in the Last Fifty. Only Four Pigeons Missed Out of One Hundred. Score Was a Tie to the Ninety-Eighth Round. Duryea Missed Then and Fell 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amateurs who faced tiaps Tuesday 14 were qualified to go in the second day, Hooper, Hokaw, If nton, and Ellison having withdrawn.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. The summary for the two days’ shoot follows: K. M. G. S. McAlpin, Carteret G. C 96 4 L. T. Duryea. Carteret G.

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.’ ” FOUR TRAINS SAVANNAH TO JACKSONVILLE BY PLANT SYSTEM.

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." WHY ?

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.

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.

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.

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 trous fire was fortunately checked yes 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 the ceiling and the roof.
