PEACE WITH ALL President Charles W. Murphy yester

general apologies for everything he

on specific apologies. He lost considerable time by failing to have forms

grandly, even gorgeously, to President
B. B. Johnson for their late unpleas
antness, and Johnson, after Inquiring
how long the peace was to last, re ceived the apology.

ing President lleydler, nothing came
from that source. Later Mr. Murphy, having had practice, apologized hand
somely to Garry Herrmann, and peace
regined once more.

who with B. F. Alexander, left here last October to play for the Davis lawn tennis cup in Australia, returned home today. "Why were we beaten?" Wright said, "well, they were too good for us. Think of playing tennis with the temperature at 145 degrees! On the day I played my match with Mr. Brookes it was about 147 degrees. It was a dry heat, but we had all we wanted. The Australians played with hats on, b"ut we foolishly discarded headgear, finding it awkward, as we were not used to it, and the result was that we suffered partial sunstroke. It took us ten days to get over the effects."

TOLLESTON. Notices are posted calling a special meeting of the board of trustees for Saturday evening to discuss with the property owners and citizens the question of building sidewalks. Let all interested be present. The board has about decided which street ought to have sidewalks, but perhaps owners want sidewalks on streets that the board did not think of. All will be given an opportunity to express their opinion. It seems as though that flat wheel is put back on the street car or it has developed another. It comes thumping along worse than before.

Intruder Among "Warriors.
Professor William Lyon Phelps went to West Point last fall to lecture. He was lecturing in the chapel, the cadets were rigidly paying attention, erect, eyes front, each man a ramrod of military etiquette. An Irish setter entered the chapel door and ambled snifflngly down the aisle and up on to the platform. The cadets squirmed under the eagle eyes of their officers but not a man smiled. "Billy" noticed the strain. He looked down at the dog wagging its tail benevolently on the rostrum. "What! How's this?" said Professor Phelps. "A setter? Why, I expected to see nothing but West Pointers up here." Tale Alumni Weekly.
New York tonight will haveits first! big international f! ght in years. Abe
I Attell, America's greatest feather
weight, and Jem Driscoll, the 126pound champion of England, are slated to box ten rounds at the National Athletic club, and if a decisive winner is returned he will be generally acclaimed as the feather-weight champion of the world. The men are not fighting at the true feather-weight limit, 122 pounds, but are to weigh In at 125 pounds at 6 o'clock. But in spite of this the victor will be hearalded as the king of the class. The bout should prove one of the most scientific ever fought. Attell admittedly is about the cleverest man this country boasts. Abe has outpointed anybody and everybody for so long that, since the days of Jim Corbett, none of the American fighters with the possible exception of Gans has been considered his equal in ring-skill. Driscoll holds the same enviable reputation in England, and. In addition to this, has poved in his several fights In America that his reputation across the water is merited in ever yway. He has whipped lightweights and featherweights since coming to this country.

All have looked alike to him. He is wonderfully clever, fast and has plenty of endurance, and lacks only a knockout punch, a fault common to feather
weights. There are many who have
seen him fight who declare him clever er than Ittell.
All doubt of Driscoll's ability to
make the weight and be strong has
been dispelled, which assures the fans
that both boys will be at their best
when the gong clangs. Driscoll was
down to 122 ponds two days ago, prov
ing that 125 ponds is catchwelghts for
him, much to the surprise of Attell and
his followers.
A rumor went the rounds today that Inspector McCloskey had been ordered
to raid the Plush club, and that one o
the classiest boxing bouts that New
York ever saw or hoped to see would
be nipped in the bud.
Every last seat will have been sold by fight time. Today the club was
forced to keep a man at the long dis
tance telephone all day filling orders for out of town members. Some are coming from Washington, Chicago, St.
Louis and other distant points. Both men put in a hard day as
final preparation for the bout. Attell
played before the biggest, house.
