One of the most spirited and interesting shooting matches that have taken place on the West Side in years was that which occurred yesterday afternoon on the brick yard grounds located near the Central mine. The contestants were Clem Marsh, of the West Side, and Art Monies of Green Ridge, representing one team, and Messrs. Louis Huntington and William Anne man, both of the central city, who comprised the opposing pair. It was a contest for blood owing to the strong rivalry existing between the marksmen. All are widely known sportsmen and have won several individual prizes and hold enviable records in similar matches.

The competition was for a purse of SltKi. Fifteen birds apiece were shot at. the agreement being that each man shoot at the elbow, the conditions regulating a 50 yard bound and 1 yard rise. Every man did well and was encouraged in every effort by his friends who came with plenty of money to place in wagers. The betting was in favor of Marsh and his partner.

Mr. Monies, bur little of their money was accepted. Huntington did not do as well as expected, but Anneman, who paired with the former, surprised his fol.owers and other spectators by killing Hi birds. He tied Maish. who 1M 1 It 111 1 I 111.

THREW A LIGHTED LAMP. Martin Gilbride and Michael Rath ford are brothers in law and reside under the same roof of a dwelling on Ey non street. Last night the two men quarrelled during which both were badly punished. The struggle for supremacy was a vicious one, blood flowing copiously from wounds sustained by the two belligerents during the lively scrimmage. Gilbride was worsted, however, but not until he had succeeded in grasping a lighted lamp from a table in the kitchen and hurled it at Rathford's head, which the latter cleverly avoided.

The oil which escaped from the broken vessel boa mo ignited and set tire to the Mirroundins wood work. Great excitement followed, and it was only through the efforts of cooler headed spectators that a serious conflagration was averted. Pails of water were Used in extinguishing the tlames. A warrant for Gilbride's arrest was issued by Alderman Moses. Constable John Lance after a desperate stroggl with Gilbride succeeded in bringin him to the alderman's office.

THE ACE LOST. Then That! Stevens Showed How lie Valued Martin's Reputation at Faro. There was nothing of "the stocks and blackboards of convention" in Thad Stevens. He was a man soul fed on strong meat. Ho believed that tho king must be amused and he was the king, writes James M.

Scovel In Lippincott's. His favorite amusement was after supper at his own modest mansion to the east of tho capital to spend the evening at Hall Pemberton's faro bank on Pennsylvania avenue, Washington. Here was common ground, where the warring, jarring factions north and south could meet and over canvasbaek and Youve Clicquot champagne woo unmolested the goddess of fortune. There were no clubs in tho Washington of 1856 60 except tho gaming houses. Stevens was never a heavy player, although I have seen him win $1,400 on a $20 goldpioce as his only stake.

On one occasion he had been playing in what ho called hard luck. Mr. "Martin from Columbus, the reading clerk of the house, always at his elbow and ready for a "sleeper" or astake, repeatedly urged Stevens "to put stack on the ace." which had lost three times. "I will stake my reputation," said Martin, "that the ace wins. With a doubting glance at Martin Ste vens shoved a stack of blue chips, worth over to tho ace, playing it to win, on judgment.

The aco lost. With out the semblance of a smile the old statesman said, "Martin, yon owe mo a quarter." Tiis was tho value he put on Martin's "refutation. No man ever pursued an adversary In debate more remorselessly than Stevens did, but there was no malice in him, and he was a favorite on both sides of the house. "Sunset" Cox was his devoted friend, and in a playful mood during an all night session, while the member from Pennsylvania dozed in his seat, moved the speaker that "tho sergeant at arms supply Mr. Stevens with Ivory chips enough to last till morning."

SAGO PALM OF TUDOR PLACE. The Offshoot of One That Was Part of Boston's Famous Tea Cargo. Ono of the most interesting homes in historic Georgetown is tho Tudor place. The sago palm of Kevolutionary fame stunds in tho Tudor conservatory in winter and on the beautiful lawn in summer. It belongs to Martha Washington's grand daughter, wiio is tho oldest living descendant of the family.

Mrs. Brittania W. Kcnnon is the daughter of Colonel Thomas Peter, who married Martha Custis, and is tho widow of Commodore Beverly Ken non, who lost his life by the explosion of a gun upon the Princeton in 1814. The main body of the old house was built by Colonel Peter in 1810. In this house Mrs.

Kennon was born and has always lived. In 17T5, when the historic cargo of tea was dumped into Boston harbor, thero were on board three small palms. Tho largest was carefully sent to Mount Vernon, another to tho homo of Governor Morris of Morrisania, while the third was taken to the Pratt gardens, near Philadelphia. Ten years later the conservatory at Mount Vernon was burned and the palm lost. Thirty six years later, in 1313, Mrs.

Kcnnon's mother drove in her carriage, a journey of four days, to Philadelphia, visited the Pratt gardens, bought several little plants and carried them in a basket to her own greenhouse. One of them was an offshoot of tho original sago palm, and today is a veritable Colonial Dame or Daughter of the Revolution. It is now almost a century old and hag never known another home. Its fruit is not abundant, like the cocoanut or date palm. It bears a small apricot shaped fruit only once in several years.

Its terminal budding at tho end of the stem is like a crown. Somo years it unfolds long slender spikes or palm branches, but several times during Mrs. Kennon's lifo thero has been a wonderful growth of fern shaped, dclicato leaves, soft and spongy in texture and color. When left on the treo until tho sap is pretty well down in tho trunk, they retain their shape and color I many years. Botanists have examined them with keen interest.

It appears liko a cabbage and slowly unfolds its yellowish brown fern leaves after the fashion of our house ferns. If left on tho tree, they die. New York Sun. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery.
