l'KIZE FIGHTING.

It is to moralize on the sin and iniquity of prize-fi^'hung so long as there is such a profound anxiety on the part of the people of all classes, not only the class to which the trained ruffians belong, but by men and women of professed refinement, to await the result and to read with avidity the details of a match between sluggers of international reputation. Disgusting

a

the idea of a prize-fight may if the realas the imagi

is doubtful as horrible pietutes it. in tli in

be. it ity. is nation eniragc there is about their business to save their precious earcssses from harm. To-day neither Corbett nor Mitchell are as sore physically as the average football eleven after a twohours game, and they leave the arena with their pockets lined with cash, which the football men do not do.

The sluggers

business for the money it. They know enough

Yesterday it was the public that was taken in. Men paid thousands of dollars to see Corbet knock Mitchell down three times in perhaps as many minutes Thousands of copies of newspapers were sold all over the country to gratify an inordinate greed for the news of the brief ordeal. It was the talk of the town, in stores, shops and Simpson's Midway Plaisance. And what is to be done? Nothing, perhaps, except to drink in consolation over the fact that it was an Englishman that was licked by an American.

FF.K AND SALARY LAW ri'IIF.I.IK The Supreme Court has passed upon the constitutionality of the fee and salary law which regulates the compensation of .State and county officers. The opinion was written by Judge Coffey and is concurred in by ail the court, except Judge McCabe. who rendered a di.ssenting opinion. The majority holds that the law is constitutional and sets out at great length its reasons. The law must therefore stand. If there is any injustice the remedy lies in the Legislature. This will be pointed out by its practical workings. The policy of salaries having once been established it is safe to say that it will be adhered to by future legislatures. The legislation hereafter will be in the nature of adjusting the incongruities of the present law with a view to straightening out its inequalities. It would seem that salaries of public officials should be based upon the amount of business done instead of on population. This would not be a violation of the policy of salaried officers but would be in the nature of paying a man for his services in proportion to his work.

ORGANIZED FOR WORK. The new Republican State Central Committee met yesterday at Indianapolis for the purpose of organization. ••I'erfeot harmony prevailed. John K.

Howdy was re-elected Chairman by a unanimous vote. R. M. Seeds was chosen Secretary and J. R. Henry Treasurer. The committee got down to business at once, and the first thing done was to set the time for holding the State convention for the nomina tion of a full ticket, except condidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The time fixed is the 26th of April. The basis of representation is one delegate for each 150 votes and each frac tion of 75 or over cast for the first Presidential elector in IS'.* Montgomery having cast .1,637 votes will be entitled to 2\ delegates. Reports from all parts of the State are of the most cheering character, and if Republican prospects continue to improve as they have improved during the last few months Indiana is good for 25,000 majority. From now on the ball will be kept rolling by its own momentum.

TIJK Chicago platform declared in favor of tariff for revenue, and yet by the estimates made by the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee the Wilson bill will leave or create a deficit of S78,000.000. Instead of a bill for revenue it is a bill for a deficit. The Chicago platform said nothing about an income tax, but the deficit made by the Wilson bill is to be partly supplied by a direct tax on the American people. The sticklers for the letter of the Chicago platform should study its declarations.

DURING President Harrison's term nearly 8300.000,000 of the public debt was paid off. Under the Cleveland Administration the public debt is to be increased 850,000.000 at one whack, with an early prospect of another 850.000,000, and all to meet the drain of a proposed tariff policy. The new bond issue means an increased interest charge of 82,500,000 annually. Some new taxes must be levied to provide for this.

THE Cleveland administration has in creased the public debt $50,000,000 for the purpose of making war upon the AmarlMa w*rlcinr»ra.

TRACED IN BLOOD

OR,

Tiie Little Old Man of the Bati^noDes.

BY ENIIL CABORIAU.

CHAPTER IX.

To reach Monistrol'!, .-hop we liad only to cross the street. This

WRS

done in four strides.

At the sound of the opening door little servant, fifteen or sixteen years old, shabbily dressed and with tangled hair, came out of the back shop. "What can I do for you, gentlemen?" •he asked. "Is Madame Monistrol in?'' "Yes, gentlemen, and I'll tell her jrou are here, because, you see—"

M. Mechinet did not give her time to finish. With a somewhat rude movement, I confess, he thrust her out of hi* way and entered the back shop, savins--:

Very well since she is it I'm going to speak to her." I followed at my worthy neighbor's heels, sure that we should not go awr.y without having the cine to the enigma.

The back shop was a gloomy apartment. which served for dining, drawing and sleeping room.

It was in disorder, and had the incongruous appearance often seen in the homes of the poor people who try to seem rich. At one end was a bed with blue silk curtains and piiiow cases trimmed with lace, and before the mantel piece was a table loaded with tbe remains of a by no means simple breakfast.

A fair-hair«l younij woman sat, or rather reclined in a large arm-chair, noidinc in her band a sheet of stamped paj «r.

This was Mme. Monistrol. Certainly when her neighbors had told us of her beauty, their description fell far short, of the reality. 1 was actually dazzled.

Only one circumstance excited my disapproval: she was attired in deep mourning, a crt'pc dress, cut slightly low in the neck, which was marvelously becoming.

This showed too much presence of mind for great sorrow. It seemed like an actress dressing herself in advance for the part she is to plap.

She started like a timid roe at onr entrance, andin a voiceapparently choked with tears, asked: "What do you want, gentlemen?"

M. Mechinet bad noticed what I had remarked. "Madame." he answered harshly, "I am sent here in the service of the law I am a detective."

At this statement she sank back in the arm-chair with a moan that would have softened a tiger.

Then suddenly, in a frenzy of excitement, with sparkling eyes and quivering lips, she exclaimed: 'Have you come to arrest me? You are welcome. I am ready—take me away. I shall join the honest man you arrest^! yesterday. Whatever his fate may be, I wish to share it. He is as innocent as I am—no matter. If he must be a victim to an error of human justice it will be a last joy to die with him."

She was interrupted by a low growl, which proceeded from one of the corners of the shop.

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black dog, with bristling hair and blood-shot eyes, showing his teeth, just ready to spring at us. "Down, Plutol" said Mme. Monistrol, 'lie down these gentlemeu will do me no harm."

Slowly, still fixing its eyes fiercely upon ns, the animal retreated under the bed. "\'0u are right in saying that we will do you no ha*m. Madame," said M. Mechinet, "we did not come to arrest you."

She did not seem to hear. "This very morning," she continued, "I received this paper, which commands me to go at S o'clock to the Palais de Justice, to the office of the examining magistrate. What do they want of me? Oh, Heavenl what do they want of me?" "To obtain information, which, I hope, will prove your husband's innccence. So don't look upon me as nn enemy, Madame. I wish to ascertain the truth."

He took up his sniiff box, hastily thrust his fingers into it, and in a solemn tone, which I did not recognize, continued: "It is for you to decide, Madame, what answer you will make to the questions I shall have the honor of addressingto you. Will you reply frankly?"

She fixed her large blue eyes, wet with tears, upon my worthy neighbor, and said in atone of sorrowful resignation:

Question me, sir?" For the third time, I repent, I was utterly inexperienced. And yet the manner in which M. Mechinet had commenced this examination disturbed me.

He was betraying his perplexities in advance, it seemed to me, and instead of pursuing a fixed object, dealt his blows hap-hazard.

Ah, if he would have let me speak: Ah, if I had dared! M. Mechinet, with an impenetrable face, was seated opposite to Mme. Monistrol. "You must know, Madame," he begun, "that night before last, at eleven o'clock, Monsieur Pigoreau or Antenor, your husband's uncle, was murdered." "Alas'." "Where wis Monsieur Monistrol nt thai hour?" "Oh, heavens! it is a fatality."

M. Mecliinet's face remained immovable. "I ask yon, Madame," he persisted, "where your husband spent the evening of the day before yesterday?"

It was some time before the young wife replied her sobs seemed to be choking her. At last, controlling herself, she moaned: "My husband spent the evening out of the house." "Do you know where he was?" "Oh, yes! One of our workmen, who llvesat Montrouge, had promised tearing us a get of false pearls, and did not keep hisword. We ran the risk ot losingthe order, which would have been a misfortune, for we are not rich. Boat rtirinnj« my husband said to me: 'I'm going to that rascal's house!' And about So'ciocS he went out and I accompanied him to the omnibus, which he entered before my eyes In the Rue Richelieu."

I breathed more freely. This might bo an alibi after all. M. Mechinet had the same thought .and continued in a gentler tone: "If that Is so, your workman will be able to swear he saw Monsieur Monistrol at his house at o'clock." "AlasI no." "Howf Why?"

"DISUSES OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN," a too* worth dollars, sent sealed for lot.

A STRANGE CASE.

How an Enemy was Foiled. The followinc graphic statement will be read with intense Interest: "1 cannot describe the uumb. creepy sensation thatexisted in my arms, hands and less. I had to rub and beat those parts until they were sore, to overcome in a measure the dead feeling that had taken possession of them. In addition, I had a Mranse weakness In my back and around my waist, together with an Indescribable 'gone' feelinz in my stomach. Physicians said it was crceplns paralysis, from which, according to their universal conclusion, there is no relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they ~av, it continues its insidious progress until is reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies. Su.:h was mv prospect. 1 had been doctoring a year and a half steadily, but with no parieular benefit, when 1 saw an advertisement of Dr Miles' Restorative Nervine, procured a bottle and becan usinc it. Marvelous as itmay seem, but a few days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had left me, and there has not been even the slightest indication of its return. I now feel as well as I ever did. and have gained ten pounds in weight, tlioush I had run down from 170 to 137. Four others have used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine on my reeomendation, and it has been as satisfactory in tlietr cases as in mine."—James Kane, La Rue, O.

"Because he had gone out. My husband didn't see him." "That is certainiy fatality. But perhaps the concicryc may have noticed Monsieur Monistrol?" "Our workman lives in a house where there is no ronoffryc."

This might be the truth. It was cer tainly a terrible charge against the un fortunate prisoner. "And at wbRt time did your husband return?" continued M. Mechintt. "A little after midnight." "You did not think he had been absent very long?" "Oh, yes and I even scolded him for it. He said, to excuse himself, that he had taken the longest way, strolled siowly along, and stopped at the cafe tq drink a glass of beer." 'How did he look when he came in?" 'He seemed vexed, but that was very natural." "What clothes did he wear?" "Those he had on when he was arrested." "You noticed nothing unusual about him?" "Nothing."

CHAPTER X.

Standing a little behind M. Mechinet, I could watch Mme. Monistrol's face at my leisure, and detect the most trifling expressions of feeling.

She seemed overwhelmed with grief, large tears rolled down her pale cheeks, and yet nt times I fancied I could detect, in the depths of her large biue eyes.something like agleam of jov. "Could she be guilty?" I thought.

And this idea, which liml already occurred to me, presenting itself still more obstinately to my mind, I hastily advanced and said, brusquely: "But you, Madame, where were you during this fatal evening, while your husband was going on his useless errand to Montronce to find his workman?"

She looked at me with a bewildered gaze, and answered, gently: "I was here, Monsieur. There are witnesses who will prove it." "Witnesses!" "Yes, Monsieur. It was so warm that evening that I wanted some ice-cream, but did not care to eat i! alone. So I sent my servant to invite two of my neighbors, Madame Dorstrich. the wife of the shoe-maker, whose shop adj.,ins ours, and Madame Renaille, the glove seller opposite. They accepted my invitation, and stayed here until half-past eleven. Ask them: they will tell you so. Amid the cruel trials to which I am subjected, this accidental circumstance is a special favor of Providence." on in
