THE OMAHA PATLY BEE : SUNDAY. OCTOBER iiii , 1898. 1 \ ; li * 1 CLEVER WING SHOT. A Twelve-Year-old Girl Who Accomplishes Wonders With Her Rifle Mbs Mamie Esther Hyland is probably the youngest wing shot In the world ; dosplto the fact that she Is only 12 years old , and has only been shooting two years , flho has defeated experienced men of moro than three tlmea her age , and has DCrar boon defeated by a member of her own sex. Llttlo Miss Hyland lives at North Tarry- town , N. Y. , and hop father says that wing shooting seems to bo a natural gift to her. Ho has been able also to teach her many trick shots , such as breaking glass balls dn the air , breaking swinging bills and' ' breaking them aided b ) the reflection ofj mirrors with both rlflo and pistol. Ono , of her most Interesting feats Is to take two pistols and hit to halls placed eldo by Hldo at once. > ( Miss Hyland tells of her career as a rlflo nhot as follows : "iMy first acquaintance wllh firearms goes back as far as i'can ' remember. At the ago of 10 father bough.1 for mo a very light double-barreled shotgun , 41-callbcr , and weighing flvo pounds. With this I would roam through the woods near homo In quest of small game. Ono day father and some friends were shooting clay pigeons thrown from traps ; naturally , I was a very Inter ested onlooker. As I had my llttlo shotgun with mo , father asked me to shoot at a few clay birds. Greatly to his surprise , and I must Bay to my own , I broke three out nf flve shot at. From that time ray trap- Bhootlng t'artcd , father taking great Inter est In mo nnd keeping mo at It constantly. "I have frequently broken twenty-three out of twenty-Jive balls. I have done moro clay plpo shooting than shooting at llvo birds , as the latter are scarce and very expensive In this locality. In ray flnrt attempt - tempt at llvo birds I scored seven out of nine. I am hardly strong enough yet to use n gun of sufficient weight In which I could 110 a killing weight for live birds. My shotgun weighs but six pounds , and I have to uie a very light load , or clso the recoil would bo so great that it would bruise me ; therefore a great many birds that I shoot nt I hit , but the load has uot penetration enough to stop thorn at once. "In mv first shoot at the Westchester County handicap , at White Plains , N. Y. , on January 22 last , I shot at fifteen llvo birds. I hit every bird , but only scored ten , with three dead out of bounds. I bc- llovc and all the shooters present agree with mo that had the charge been heavier I would have scared fifteen straight kills. "Father has succeeded In teaching mo many trick shots with the ride , such OB breaking swinging balls , shooting In usua manner ; also holding rlflo upside-clown on top of my head , shooting from right or left shoulder , breaking balls tossed In air , ( breaking balls by sighting rlflo with aid of mirror , splitting n cord , snuffing a candle , holding rlfio In various positions mid several other difficult shots. "With a revolver I con hit balls tossed in the air , break thorn swinging , break them by sighting the pistol with a mirror ! nnd break two balls hung sldo by side , using two pistols and firing both at once. "I am very fond of the sport , but must cay that I prefer shooting at the trap with CHURCH PLANNED BY EMPEROR WIL LIAM II. structures from the crusaders' period. It stands on the ancient foundations of the 'Church ' of Santa Maria Major , that was built by the Knights of St. John , which ex plains the square base. When digging Into the ground to establish the solidity of the old masonry traces of the old city wall were found , which encircled Jerusalem at the lifetime of Jesus Christ.

On October 31 the solemn celebration of the new Church of Our Savior will occur at Jerusalem In the presence of Emperor Wil liam nnd numerous Protestant princes of the German empire. This church was planned almost twenty-nine years ago by Frederick William , then the crown prince of Prussia , but It Is duo mainly to the energetic Interest of the present emperor or Germany that the cdlflcc Is now ncarlng completion. In the fall of 1S69 "Our Fritz , " who had entered 'the holy city on the old pilgrim load from Jaffa , received as a present from the sultan the ruins of the Murlstnn ( an Insane asylum ) ; he took pos session publicly of the site. The crown prince promised at the time of hU visit that a new evangelical church , the first In Palestine , would bo created on that bite. Ho dlrl not lack the good will , but circumstances were stronger than the prince's endeavors. H Is duo solely to the Initiative of his con , the emperor , that the promise made BO long ago will at last b9 redeemed. Ho not only used the enormous nelght of his personal Influence to over , come all difficulties , but designed In person the sketch of the tower of the now church , which the official architect , Prof. Adlcr of Dcrlln , embodied In his plans without tbo slightest alteration , of course. The em peror also lent his financial support so that the building U now practically complete. Our Illustration U taken from the sketch of the emperor , and shows hU own signature. The church Itself la a square edifice of sovcro lines , llko many other house opposite their home. "I wonder what those letters stand for ? " asked Ethel. "Why , " replied Harry , "It means that gran'pa's all right. " The Visitor I suppose you play with the other little girls around hero ? Oracle No , sir. Some Is too naughty and Bomo has the whooping cough ! "Why do wo ask God for our dally bread when mammn gives us that ? " asked little Ethel. "Oh , there's got to be just so much red tape , " answered llttlo Cuthbert. "Don't you think you have a good mamma to spread such nice , large slices ol bread with Jam for you ? " asked little Ethel's grandma. "Oh , I don't know , " replied tha lltth miss. "Sho'd bo a heap sight goodor l ! she'd let me spread the jam myself. " Here Is a child story , which exemplifies the tenacious memory i * llttlo boy holds fo ; the good times that ho has had In his life says the Kansas City Journal. Georgi Thompson was on trial In the district cour lu Emnorla. Kan. , on the charge of horse stealing. It was known that the crime hat How Do You Feed Your Stove -by the shovelful or the bucketful ? The 'old idea that it was necessary to fill a stove with fuel to keep it hot has been made obso lete by JEWEL Stoves and Ranges. They pro ? . ducc a greater volume of heat with a smaller amount of fuel because they are constructed ou strictly scientific principles. They are most durable , aud give the best service because they are i made of the best material to be procured. They are most satisfactory Jn every way , be cause they embody the latest nnd best ideas requisite to stove efficiency. There is no fault to be found with JEWEL Stoves nnd Ranges.

HU family all Aworo that he came homo thnt night just after the curfew whistle blew , and this made tha alllil a good ono. After this testimony bad been given llttlo Leo O'Connor , the 5-year-old son of the sheriff , turned to his father aud said : "Why , papa , the curfew did not blow on the Fourth of July. Wo children stayed out and played as long a wo vranted to on that night. " An Investigation was made , and , sure enough , It was found that the curfew had been suspended for that holiday occasion. The Jury found Thompson guilty. The Wtnftcld ( Kan. ) Courier Is authority for this llttlo girl story. Her papa , was trying to read and she was questioning him. "Does Jesus and God both llvo up In heaven , papa ? " "Yes , both live there. " "Could they como down her * If they ranted to ? " "Yes , Jesus and God can go everywhere. " "Could they both como together ? " "Of-course they could. Now don't bother mo any more , llttla one. " "Well , I don't think BO. If both of them came away together who would 'tend to the babies ? " Wttlo Archibald was saying his prayers the other evening , while his mother was otroklng his curly head and thinking of something else- . Suddenly it struck her that the child had wandered -from the text of the supplication that ho had been taught to repeat. "What is that , darling ? " eho Interrupted. "Go over that part again , " Give us this day our dally plo and cake , and forgive " "Why. my love , that Isn't right , " the sur prised mother broke In ; "that Isn't what mamma taught you to say. " "I know , " little Archibald replied , "but I don't want any more dally bread. I'd rather have pl > and cake , and when we're prayln * for things you might as well ask for what you want the most. " "Never mind , mamma , " said a llttlo girl who had asked her mother a question , as reported by the New York Times , "you need not trouble to tell me , I will ask papa.

Witness I beg pardon , your honor. Be fore I glvo my evidence I want ray expenses. Judge ( to defendant ) Pay him 7s 6d. The defendant having done so , the Judge eald : "Now that you have had your expenses , what do you know of the case ? " Witness Nothing at all , your honor. "You know and I know , " shouted the at torney for the accused , "that It Is belter that nine Innocent persons should escape than that one guilty man should be pun ished. " "I cannot permit such a statement to go to the Jury unchallenged , " smiled the court. "Note the exception , Mr. Stenographer , * roared the attorney. "It Isn't often , " said the well known at torney to the Detroit Free Press , "that a witness gets the best of a lawyer. But I remember one that got the best of me In a way that caused the shivers to run up and down my back. "A good many years ago I was retained upon a line- fence suit between two old farmers. It had been In the courts for ten years , and bid fair to bo there for ten more unless the parties became bankrupt lu the meanwhile. "It was my firat appearance In the mat ter , I having taken the place of one of the lawyers who died. "I was very , very young. In fact , It was my first case , and I felt my Importancp moro than I do now after thirty years of hard grind. "Among the witnesses was an old farmer that I knew personally , having been born and brought up In the same neighborhood. "Ho was put on the stand to swear to some facts thnt happened ten years back , and when ho was turned over to me for cross-examination I proceeded to test the value of his memory dating so far back. " 'Do you mean to say , ' I began sternly , , 'that you can remember a mere Incident that happened ten years ago ? ' " 'Yes ( sir , ' he answered. " 'Then you mean to say that you can re member a certain day ten years ago that Farmer Dunn drove a black and white cow Into his back pasture ? ' " 'Yes , sir , I kin , ' ho answered. " 'Then , perhaps , ' said I , sarcastically , 'you can remember something else that hap pened upon that particular day ? ' " 'Yes , I kin , ' he put In eagerly , 'Jes1 after I saw Farmer Dunn drlvo that cow of hls'n Into his back pasture I wuz goln' through my apple orchard when I saw ye an' two other kids stealing apples.

Ho la a professor of soclofogy , and edits the New World , In addition to his tultlvo duties. But ho Is a sociologist who sees two sides to the Question , and bcllovcs that In thcso davs of loud crlttclamsaboutcapltallsm and comnlalnt against the employing class Recentlv ho made a tour of the east for the purpose of seeing for hlmeelt what the crcat cmnlovcrs of the country arc doing to better the condition of their workers. His observations have proven prolific of much in formation In their favor , and this ho detailed In a paper at the congress on what the em- oloyer can do to settfe the labor problem. Speaking of the libraries and club houses established by some of the big concerns ho ald : Great manufacturing families like the Fairbanks find the Ames wisely give libra ries , schools and balls for social and other purposes directly to the town. The num ber of employers who furnish free reading rooms and libraries In their own works Is considerable. It Is nulto exceeded , how ever , by thosa men and women of wealth who have built , usually in their native towns , those monuments which James Ilii9 < sell Lowell thought most lasting and cure in the shape of public libraries. The list of such benefactions Is one of the bright- cst races In American civilization. Club houses are usually found In connec- tlon I with industries employing larga num bers 1 of men. llko Iron nnd steel works , and railways and electric lines. Of ono of these Institutions nn employer well auallfled to speak declared to mo It has paid for Its cost a hundred times over In the Improved stntp of feeling among his men. In Now York you rce near the Grand Central station the club house for railway men which one of thu Vnnderbllts has erected. In Jersey City n great tobacco firm maintains a llbr.iry and evening classes for its force. In Newark. N. J. . the Ferris Bros. ' factory has lunch rooms and a recreation room for Its 500 women. Just as the Pope bicycle factory at Hart ford , Conn. , has a lunch room and largo reading room adiunet for Its 1,500 men. The club houses which Andrew Carnegie has es tablished at Draddock and Homestead. Pa. , resemble one at Jollet. 111. , which I veiled In July. The National Cash Register com pany at Dayton , O. , supports many and varied Institutions for Us employes. Not the least pleasing sight in my p'lgrimago was the school for cash girls whlin the "Fair" at Chicago maintains. At Uridgeport. Conu. , there Is a club house for the thousand women employed in the Warner Bros. ' cor set factory. It is Just across the street from the factory Itself. The American Watch company at Waltham. Mass. . has been a pioneer in enlightened methods of assisting its many skilled workmen. Favor * I'roflt-SlmrliiK. One of his particularly strong points was' that of profit-sharing. To quote his own words : The Industrial partnership method which has behind It so conspicuous a record of 1 success , nnd which IB loiry In operation [ with moro than 200 firms and cor porations , at home and abroad. In a great L variety of business , is a strictly limited and [ well-defined scheme , essentially different from productive co-operation as well ad from the pure wages system. The socialist , the nationalist , the single- tax advocate all theao. as a rule , look with lofty contempt upon a plan that would re- suit in promoting a kindly feeling of part- nership between employer and employe , In a general improvement of the quality of work , and In a modest dividend to labor as a common practice. The ideal employer , like many actual employers now. will lake kindly Interest In the men who are lolnt workers with the counting room. Ho will destro to see thurn well housed and Insured acaluat sickness and old aso and their families assisted In case of decease. He can take nn active part In encouraging thrift among them after the manner of the Chicago Electric Car cotn- panv of the south side , which receives de- posits for its employes' btnellt association. Other firms , llko the Riverside Press of , Cambridge , and the Carucglo company of PlttBburg. pay an extra Interest , now half as large again as is the current rate in the common savincs banks , and the Riverside Press adds a possible dividend to this of from 1 to 4 per cent out of the profits of the year. In the operation of the profit-sharing sys tem the most cncouraclnc results have coma from every endeavor In that direction. The participating workman produces more , or Improves the quality of his product. Is care ful of the tools he handles and the machine he runs , In saving of the materials , superIntends - Intends and is sunerlntended bv his fel low-workmen , and almost without exception refrains from strikes. Such has been thei re sult attained by the 1'eaco Dale woolen mills , the Plllsbury flour mills , the Spring field foundry , the Ara Cushmnn Boot and Shoo company of Auburn , Me. , the Rogers & Peet firm of clothiers In New York , the felt works of Alfred Dodge , the Globe To bacco company of Detroit , the Rico & Gritfin moulding factory of Worcester , the Page Belting company of Concord , N. H. , the Yale & Towno Lock company of Stam ford , tbo Procter & Gamble swap works of Cincinnati , the N. O. Nelson company or st. Louis , the Century Magazine company , and the Riverside Press of Cambridge. Those are some of the most conspicuous American houses now operating successfully on the plan of glvlnc a dividend to labor. nix 1'roflt * Ulvldril. The Peace Dale ( R. I. ) woolen mills paid no bonus In 1878 , the first year under the Industrial partnership plan. In the next ; two years the bonus gave 5 per cent on wages , and In the two years following only 3 per cent. Since IbsS there hail been no profit In the woolen business at Peace Dale to warrant Messrs. Hazard In paying a bonus. "We still firmlv bellevo in our plan. " they wrote , in 1888 , "and only await the time when we can continue It" ( bv declaring an ! other bonus ) . The great Plllsbury flour ! mills of Minneapolis paid. In 1883-85 , three dividends to labor , amounting to $123,000 , or 33 per cent on wages. For the next two years , owing to the crcat decline in wheat , no profits could be aiviilcd. Jlie employes received the news "In the best possible spirit. " Such Is a sample of the testimony going to show that the workman , under . profit-sharing , abroad and at home. Is not the foolish person our prophets declare ho will bo In bad times. The Geneva firm of Billon & Isaac , mak ers of parts of music boxes , divided among ' their men for the flvo years 1871-75 nu av erage bonus of 21 r-er cent on wages. In 1S76. on account of the approaching Hu&so- Turklsh war. the bonus fell to 4 per cent , snd In the next vcar It went out of sight. "Tho crlsftj served to prove. " said M. Billon , "that In bad years as In seed wo stood bet- ' ter wllh our employes than those flnits which have not ntolled the principle of par- { Iclpatlou , " For the six years following' ' .ho bonus nvcraccd 12 tier cunt , but for the three yearn 1884-SC tlu < ro was none "llut our workmen continue to work courageously n the hone of better t'jucs. ' " The man who first thoroughly carried out' the systtm of participation the division of realized profits between thn capitalist , the employer nnd the employe , In addition to regular Interest , salary and wages was ix practical painter nnd decorator at the head of a large business In Paris. Leclalro was his name. Ho tried the experiment cau tiously , beginning In 1842. after duo prepa ration , and ho soon found that all thcso questions were answered by experience with a decided ntllrmativp. Ho went on applying and Improving his system for thirty years with entire success. The Mnlson Leclalro stands there todav In Paris , after forty-eight years of profit-sharing , perhaps the moat admirable Industrial organization on the planet. SucecHKfuI In France. Ono of the greatest distributive establish ments In the world , the Bon Marcho of Paris , employing 3.000 persons nnd doing n business of J30.008.000 a year ; the Immense dials printing house of Paris , the great Godln foundries at Gulso. with a capital of C.000,000 francs , and the Laroche-Joubcrt paper works at Angouleme , with Its 1,000 employes , nro four of the seventy-five or moro French houses that nro now success fully applying this principle of allowing the workmen a share In the profits. In addition to current wnce . nlwnvs the highest paid The progressive employer will make It easy for his workmen to acquire shares of clock In his corporation , The shareholder- workman Is n most desirable link between capital nnd labor In the Interests of both. Some states like Massachusetts have smoothed the wav for corporations to Issue "worklngmen's stock" under feasible con ditions. But the example" of the Columbus. O . gas works and the Illinois Central rail way show how easy and advisable It Is for ; mployers to offer such facilities apart from legislation. ' , , On the subject ! of having operatives well housed ho said : The employer Is usually proud of the homo which he owns. In no other wav can ho moro wisely help his employes than bv nspslstlne them to rent attractive housen at low rates , as do the Howland mills nt New Bedford. ' Mass. . the Wllllmnntlo Thread compa'ny In Maine nnd S. D. Warren & Co. of Cumberland Mills In that state. Lin- ployers like the Cheneys at South Manches ter ] Conn. , nnd N. O. Nelson at Lo Claire. 111. , have n successful plan of Bclllnc houses nnd lots In their villages to their workwrs , and this method Is becoming aulto general. Touching on the matter of benefit funds , ho enumerated several great railroad sys tems of the country which have them , such as the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy , Balti more & Ohio and the Pennsylvania. The recent failure of Alfred Dodge , the felt manufacturer at Dodgevlllo , N. Y. , who had been ono of the foremost men In developing a pension and Insurance system , he argued simply emphasized the need of making such schemes Independent of the financial for tunes of the house , which Is the case li many Instances In Franco nnd Germany.

Shortly after cnterln the duke's service the chef returned to his former master and begged him , with tears In his eyes , to tnko him back at rcducud wages or none at all.

"I've worked with all my heart on that book , " said the young man , who had been treating the doctor to n long account of a recent collection of poetry which ho had edited. " 1'vo used my best taste and judgment and research , and 1 feel confident that nobody could have done the thing better or more thoroughly than I have. And what reward do I get ? Harsh criticisms for ray omission of a few popular poets and a paltry hundred dollars ! " "A hundred dollars ! " echoed the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table , wearily. "Why , I wouldn't have written that book for $1,000 , I'm sure. " The col lector of poetry smiled with gratification , but the listener turned to regard a dray , lest her face should betray her.
