A TALK BY INGALLS.

INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH THE CELEBRATED KANSAN. CUnki Silver It*- • Dead Issue—Says the Populists Haw a Stupendous Problem la Kansas—Republican Party Ha. t Tremendous Task Ahead. Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls spent a day recently in Denver on his way to ■Wyoming to fill , lecture engagements. The senator was in his usual fighting trim and expressed himself freely and forcibly concerning the recent election in Kansas and the great sociological questions that are occupying the public mind. ' - “I spent four months or more campaigning Kansas for the Republican ticket, ” said he, “but the result showed that I might as well have been somewhere else. The Populist victory in Kansas was one of the phenomena of politics for which there is no explanation. I really think the victors were as muoh disappointed at the majority as we were surprised and startled by its proportions. The Populists not only elected fix out of the eight congressmen, but *ttTey secured five out of six appellate judges and have two out of three members of the supreme court, the governor and all the 6tate«cfficers and a majority ,over all in each of the branches of the legislature. It is the first time in the history of anv American state when all the different parts of the government

have passed into the hands of a party whioh proposes to reorganize society. It is a great responsibility, but I am not sure but that it is the best thing that could have happened. “The developments will be quite interesting,” remarked the reporter. “Yes, from a sociological point of view, the situation in Kansas will be very interesting. It is the only state that has ever submitted to a trial of those stupendous problems with all the resources in the hands of the people who want to make the experiment. In Nebraska the Republicans hold the courts and I think here in your state, under the reign of Waite, there were barriers. The Kansas test will be an example of what may be expected if the Populists gain control. Kansas has been the ground for experiments in morals and politics for a quarter of a century, and it seems destined to lead in this. ” “What is the Populist programme?” was asked. “It is very extensive,” replied the senator. “How far they will be able to put it into operation depends upon the harmony that may be brought about among elements somewhat discordant. The more violent of them contemplate a war of spoliation against society based upon practical confiscation and a redistribution of assets of'the community. It includes war on railroads and other corporations, the abolishment of laws fpr the protection of creditors and a redistricting of the state for congressional and legislative purposes that will retain the party in the possession of power for an indefinite period.” “Are you alarmed at the prospect, senator?’ ’

“No, I don’t regard the situation with any great alarm, ” replied he. “I have great confidence in the capacity of the people for self government, and the ultimate appeal to reason and fair play is a distinguishing characteristic of the An-glo-Saxon race. The possession of power makes men conservative, and my impression is that the incorrigibles and implacables will be restrained and prevented from carrying out anything like the revolution indicated in the platform. The man who was elected chief justice was formerly a Republican. He is a man of high private character and professional attainments, but he is an avowed socialist. In his speeches he declared that the users of property had rights paramount to the owner and said if be was elected chief justice he would search the precedents of a thousand years to find some law for the poor man.” “The election of 1896, ” remarked the visitor, “contained many phases not covered by the silver question. It was the attempt of the laboring and producing olasses to readjust themselves to changed and changing conditions. Silver, in my opinipn, was merely a symptom. There are 100 causes for the spirit of unrest, How to meet these problems is a question that is going to test the statesmanship of the future. The right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness is at stake. In fact, it is the greatest problem that has ever faced any people, but I believe the Republican party is equal to the emergency. Democracy and Populism have both been tried and found wanting. The Democrats offered free trade in 1892 and Bryan offered free silver in 1896. The Americau people refused to aceept the situation offered by Mr. Bryan.” “Silver will win in four years, will it not, senator?” 1 “No; I cannot say that it will. If the Republican party does not find some remedy for the evils, some other party

©rill step to the front Trusts? We hear a great deal about trusts. Nobody hates trusts more than I. Mr. Bryan and his advocates all forget to say that there is a law now in existence which aims to strangle all trusts. The law was the creature of Mr. Edmunds, the most practical legislator of the age. Edmunds strangled polygamy to death, and he formulated the antitrust law. Mr. Olney and Mr. Harmon have failed to prosecute offenders under the law, and it remains for the Republican administration to take hold and carry out the law. * 'The money power in its organized capacity had just as much to do with the campaign of Mr. Bryan as it had to do with the campaign of McKinley. There is no more gigantic trust on the earth than the silver trust, and the silver miue owners were all supporting Mr. Bryan. A trust is a thing that knows no politics but plunder aDd no principles except spoliation of the human raca It is puerile to say that the election was bought with.money. The proportions of the victory repel such an idea. In any event I cannot bring myself to believe there was any more open use of money on the side of Mr. MoKinlfey than ®n the side of Bryan. The faot is the brains of the country are in the Republican party. It is the party of progress and aggressiveness, aud always ba3 been. ” "Aren’t the socialists becoming unpleasantly aggressive?” was asked. ‘‘Purely aroadian, ” was the reply. "A lot of dreamers, sentimentalists who have visions, but nothing practical. Tfiey are the St. Johns of the political dispensation, crying in the wilderness, and some time, as Emerson says, the dreamers of yesterday become the realities of today and the statutes of the future. The dreamers are like the Garrisons and Beechers of the War, but when strong men are needed Lincolns and Grants appear and carry the projeots forward to a final accomplishment. There will be no bloodshed, for the American people are too oapable of self government.. They are a people of peace. We talk about solving a problem. It is a mistake. Lincoln never moved until the people were ready. Nobody solves a governmental problem. The problem solves itself. Under this government a man is entitled to the fullest use of his powers as long as he uses his powers honestly. The question is not whether a man shall make $100,000,000, but whether he shall be entitled to bequeath $100,000,000 to his son. The right to tax, in the opinion of the supreme court, is the tight to destroy. When it comes to a question of leaving a vast fortune to a son, the society may have something to say in order to insure its own preservation. ” — Rocky Mountain News.

TREED BY A BEAR.

Terrible Experience of a Schoolteacher In Sullivan County. Lucretia Ritter, a pretty little schoolteacher of Sullivan county, N. Y., had a terrible experience recently. She is in charge of a country sohool in a lonely portion of the Shunk mountains, in the vicinity of Elk * lake, and boards at a farmhouse over a mile distant. For convenience the young teacher has been accustomed to take a short cut through a lonely woods, thus saving herself a long walk. » As she was traversing the path on her way to the sohoolhouse she observed what she supposed was a yearling calf lying directly in her path. She bravely waved her lunch basket to scare the animal, but was almost petrified with horror when she discovered that it was a full grown bear. The bear made a rush for her, and the girl in her fright climbed partly up a crooked tree. To add to her terror, her clothing became fastened to a broken limb of a tree, and the frightened girl was unable either to ascend or descend. The bear in the meantime had devoured her lunch basket and the flowers off her hat, which were dropped during the girl’s flight. The bear kept the girl a prisoner for over three hours and was finally frightened off by the arrival of Farmer Swartz. After Mi6s Ritter had been released from her perilous position she fainted and was carried in Swartz’s arms to her boarding house, a distance of almost a mile. She is entirely prostrated since her terrible experience, and it is feared that the shock may prove fatal.—Philadelphia Times.

Wants Everybody Registered.

Dr. Arthur McDonald, the Washington criminologist, thiDks that every man, woman and child in the country should be measured according to the Bertillon system and the resulting data preserved by a government bureau, with branches in every township. This, he says, would not ODly almost put an end to crime by making deteotion practically certain, but it would be of service in scores of ways among perfectly respectable people, like lawyers, bankers, insurance men and all others to whom questions of identity are of great importance.

Gold In Illinois.

It has'been discovered that a gold mine lies underneath Caifo, Ills. At the artesian well which Major E. W. Halliday is sinking quartz was brought to the surface which shows unmistakable signs of gold. The find was made at a depth of 753 feet. Jeweler John A. Miller examined some specimens and is positive that the yellow streaks contain gold. It is thought that at some point in southern Illinois the stratum may be reached nearer the surface, go that mining may prove profitable.

A Physician’s Novel Plan.

A New York physician who has a largo office practice has a simple but effective plan for the entertainment of waiting patients. He has provided half a dozen ingenious puzzles, which are strewn carelessly around on the tables and on the mantel in the waiting room. Frequently there will be a score of persons in this room, and for some of them, especially the nervous ones, the waits would be very fatiguing if it were not for the little jokers.

SONGS OF FOOTBALL.

INTERESTING FEATURE OF EVERY BIG GAME. Ballad* Manufactured by loyal College Poets to Urge on Their Team to Victory or Rally Them In Defeat—Some of the Best That Have Bsen Sung This Season. One of the most interesting features of all the big football matches and one in which many of the spectators take as much interest as in the game itself is the cheering and singing of college songs that goes on before and during the progress of the game. Every year before a game the poets of the different colleges set to work to evolve new songs to inspire their teams on to victory. This year the number of songs has been more profuse than ever, and much time was spent by the students in learning the words and airs of their new ballads. Here are some of the lyrical gems at the Yale-Princeton game in New York. The Yale men sang this to the tune of “Hold the Fort:” Line up, rushers; line up briskly; Line up with a will! We have always beaten Princeton, And we always will. chokus. Hold the ball, for Hinkey’s coming; Fincke will signal still; Benjamin goes through the center— Win we must and will! Baird will try in vain to drop kick; Chadwick rushes through; Hildebrand is fun for Rodgers; , Cochran's looking blue. Bass and Connor tackle surely, One at either end; Chamberlain holds fast at center; .Murray will nbt bend. Murphy makes a hole at tackle; Hlue will make his gain ; Prinoeton tries to stop Yale’s rushes, But she tries in vain. Lino up, rushers; line up hrlskly; r Line up with a will 1 We have always beaten Prinoeton, And we always will. Another song given with a ring goes to the air of May Irwin’s song, ‘‘The New Bully.” Those are the words: Have you hoard about Old Eli? He's just come to town. He’s round about Manhattan field to throw Old Nassau down. He’s looking for the Tiger. It must bo found. He,s a battle scarred old hero, and he don’t allow Any Jersey jungled Tigers with him to raise a row, For he’s going to catch the beast and tame him now ! CHORUS. Then we’ll give a cheer for Yale, Yale, Yale, Yalel Then we’ll give a cheer for Yale, Yale, Yale, Yalel Then we’ll give a cheer for Yale! We’re looking for the Tiger, to twist his tall! When this song is sung by a chorus of Yale voices, the air will vibrate: Eleven sons of Eli, dressed in quiet blue. They’re here to lick the Tiger, and you bet

they’ll do it, too, For when they get the ball they will go right through! It’s hard to tell who is the best, they’re all so very fine, And Princeton’s men will know it when they try to buck our line , • To find that they are blocked there every tlm lAir—“Oh, Give Us a Drink, Bartender!"] Oh, rush them along, Old Eli, Old Eli, As you did a year ago, For you know that we’re all behind you, behind you, And will cheer you aa you go! Our stone wall line they can never open. Our backs go easily through, 6o give three cheers for our sandy captain; Three qheers for the boys in blue! Brek-ek-ek-ex, ko-ax, ko-ax, Brek-ek-ek-ex, ko-ax, ko-ax, Oh-op, oh-op— Parabalou—Yale, Yale, Yale! Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, Yale l Princeton bad some favorites whioh she sang with a will, notably the old song known by every true son of Old Nassau, “The Orange.and the Black,” as follows: Although Yale has always favored the violet’s dark blue. And the many sons of Harvard to the crimson rose are true, We will hold a lily slender; no honor shall it lack, While the Tiger stands defender of the orange and the black. Through the four long years of college, ’Midst the scenes we love so well As we win athletic victories On the football field or track. Still we’ll work for deajr old Princeton And the orange and the black. Another is r [Special music.] Right through the center! Now round the ends! Shove ’em through, striped Tigers of Prinoeton, Shove ’em through, shove ’em through. Shove ’em through! Here are some of Pennsylvania’s best songs: AND THE BLOW ALMOST KILLED HARVARD. Fair Harvard came to Franklin field One chill day in Nqyember And tried to teach us how to play— Perhaps you may remember. Their backs did all that men could do To drive the leather forward, But they couldn’t beat the red and blue, And the blow almost killed Harvard! [Tune—“The New Bully. ”j Have you seen that new football team that’s just come to town? They have come down to Franklin field. Old Pennsy for to down And to drag the red and blue upon tho ground. Oh, the Indians came down here, with their ax in their hand. I And vowed that they would surely swipe Old Pennsy from this land, But our good team work was more than they could stand. CHORUS. When we put the crimson down, down, down! When we put the crimson down. down, down! When we- put the crimson down, Then a single Harvard rooter won’t be found. [Tune—“Marching Through Georgia. ’’] Oh, come, ye jolly sons of Penn, and make the welkin ring; Raise ye up your voices and a song of triumph sing. Let Old Johnny know that- on the gridiron Penn is king, While 1 we go marching through Harvard! Hurrah, hurrah, we’re in today to wul Hurrah, hurrah, we’ll pocket Harvard’s tin! Our toam was never better, so let’s raise a joyous din While we go marohing through Harvard! Oh, we all remember well the gameqof ninetyfour,

tgjd the score of last year, too, but now we’ll make it more. .fhree times in succession, boys, we’ll lay them on the floor. While we go marching through Harvard! fTo be sung to the hymn of “Lift Up Your Head*, Ye Gates of Brass.’’l Oh, mighty Pennsylvania! Upon the football field We’U see you stand ‘gainst Harvard’s band To make her colors yield. Hurrah for Pennsylvania! We’ll sing the Joyful strain. And down we’ll drag the crimson flag. The red and blue shall reign. Oh, Harvard, you must surely know The fate that waits you here. You’ll fall again before Old Penn, Just as you did last year. Your banner in the dust weTl trail , And sing when we are through The crimson has been conquered by The glorious red and blue.

NOW HE’S MAJOR OSGOOD.

Pennsylvania’s Famous Football Player Alive and Kicking. Captain Henry B. Osgood, CJ. S. A., of Boston has reoeived word from the Cuban juutu in New York oity denying the truth of the rumor current a month ago to the effect that his son, Major Win Osgood, had been cut down and killed ut the head of his command in an engagement with Weyler’s troops. In the battle in question young Osgood’s boot was grazed by a Spanish

Gomez’s artillery and has probably seen servico of the most active sort during the past week. Major Osgood, it will be recalled, is the famous University of Pennsylvania football mfcn who went to Cuba on the Commodore with a captain’s commission. Shortly after his arrival he was promoted for gallantry in aotion to the rank of major. By an odd coincidence his father, Captain Osgood, has also been promoted to the same grade, his commission as major in the United States army goipg into effect in a few weeks.—Boston Journal.

A MONSTER REVIVAL.

New York Ministers Propose to Have It Sweep the Whole Country, More than 100 ministers in greater New York, who have been interested in the Moody and Sankey meetings, have decided to use their efforts to bring about the greatest evangelical awakeuing that city has ever known. A call has been issued to all the ministers in the city to open the doors of their ohurohes every night for revival servioes. It is expeoted that there will be more than 500 meetings a night and that the result will be the most ex traordinary of modern tiroes. It is hoped to arouse not only the great me tropOlis, but to have the movement radiate in every direction. It is hoped that it will join with that now in progress in Philadelphia and sweep over the whole country. Every denomination and nearly every prominent pastor in New York and Brooklyn is interested in this movement. Mr. Moody has said that the time is ripe for it The Rev. Dr. Wilbur J. Chapman, who is among the first two or three evangelists in this country, has said so. This feeling is born of the Moody meetings in New York oity. Mr. Moody has said that they have been among the most remarkable in his experience. The Carnegie hall services on Sunday have been especially notable.

PASSING THE PLATE.

An Incident Placing Millionaire Morgan In a New Light. J. Pierpont Morgan, the financier, has assumed his duties as warden of St. George’s Protestant Episcopal church. Dr. Raiusford is the rector, and among the congregation are numbered some of the wealthiest persons of the city. During the offertory Sunday Mr. Morgan rose from a seat well down near the front, and, walking up the aisle, took the collection plate and passed it. When the great banker is in town, he is a regular attendant of this church, and as all the pews are free it is no unusual sight to see him get up and offer his seat to some belated stranger. To persons who have had business dealings with Mr. Morgan his affability and gentleness in church are a revelation. This man, who when he is in his office denies himself to everybody, unless it happens to be a secretary of treasury, a high government official or a man well known in the financial wofld, is the personification of gentleness and accommodation when he enters the church door. When dealing with the congregation, there is none of that brusqueness which usually characterizes him when discussing a cold business proposition —New York Journal.

For Private Secretary.

It begins to look as though Private Secretary James Boyle would succeed himself after Mr. McKinley’s inauguration as president. An impression has prevailed that Mr. Boyle would prefer a British consulate,-but as the supposed aspirants for the private secretaryship are decreasing in number it seems very probable that Mr. Boyle will continue to serve Mr. McKinley in a confidential capacity.

To Start For the Antarctic In July.

Naval Lieutenant de Gerlaich, the organizer and leader of the projected antarctic expedition, will' start from Antwerp on July 15 on the steamer La Belgica. The expedition will be on the same lines as Wandel’s arctic expedi* tion and will take with it a perfect set of apparatus for scientific observations, together with three years’ provisions.

Every morningSnd evening Fernnn’s wife would prop' him up in bed and plaoe foods that (Rd not require mastication within his mouth. These were swallowed passively. During this time the sleeper increased in size, and in order to give him more attention bis wife had him removed to a room whioh measured about 12 feet square, adjoining the kitohen. More than 12 months passed before bis wife and children were made happy by one day finding that the sleeper's eyes were again open. He conversed rationally of things that bad ooourred prior to the beginning of his long slumber and expressed amazement when acquainted with the facts of his sleep. He said that everything was a blank to him during his year’s nap. Eight hoars after awakening Fernan again oomplained of feeling drowsy, and a few moments later he was again asleep and had to be removed to his bed- He was allowed to slumber in his trousers, flannel shirt and stockings, and when the weather was pleasant Mrs. Fernan would lift him to his feet and lead his halting steps through the kitchen to the side porch, where she would seat him in a big rocker while she cultivated their small farm, gathered the fruit, harvested the bay crop or dug potatoes. Although he had no way bf showing his appreciation of her kindness, Mrs. Fernan insisted that “Mike liked to sit on the porch when the sun was shining. ’* In addition to caring for her husband and attending to tho household duties, Mrs. Fernan performed the work of a farmer with suoh success as to be able to provide a comfortable living. Fourteen weary months passed before the sleeper again opened his eyes, with his mind apparently unclouded, but four hours later he again succumbed to drowsiness, althongh he battled desperately against it. Another year passed before he reopened his eyes and asked for his wife, who had just stepped over to a neighbor’s, but when she entered the house, breathless aud excited, her husband was again sleeping. Mrs. Fernan begau to fail rapidly after the sixth year’s strain. Nor did her misfortunes come singly, for two of her children died. Several months ago she succumbed and died. Since then another of her children has been taken away, but Fernan sleeps on, oblivious of his great loss. It has now become necessary to find another home for the sleeper, and a medical commission appointed by the courts has adjudged him a lunatic Id ttrder to gain his admission to an asylum, and it is probable that an operation will now be performed upon him. The doctors disagree in their diagnoses of his trouble, but the most probable explanation seems to be that it is a dropsical affection that has caused water on the brain. An operation was begun during the early stages of his sleep, but as the patient showed marked signs of becoming violently iusane his faithful wife objected, saying, “I’d rathei have Mike with me asleep and helpless as a child than to see him a raving ma niacin an asylum. ” —New York Journal.

HIS NINE YEAR SLEEP

THE RIP VAN WINKLE SLUMBER OF A PENNSYLVANIA MAN. His Wife and Three Children Have Passed Away While He Slept On—Wife Saved Him Prom the Knife—Long Delayed Operation May Now Be Performed. In a little farmhouse at Nicholson tunnel lies a man who bids fair to outrival Rip Van Winkle as a sleeper. This man’s sleep has already lasted more than nine years, and if, Michael Feruan ever awakens it will only be to find that his wife and children have succumbed to the care aud anxiety incident to his continuous and extended slumber. As Mr. Fernan appears to be as rugged and strong as he did ou the morning that he began his long sleep he may surpass Rip Van Winkle’s record unless the mystifiod physicians perform an operation that will awaken him at the risk of transforming him into a raving maniac or hastening his death. Had it not been for the touching dovotion of his wife the operation would have been performed several years ago. Nino years ago last July Michael Fernan was employed as a watnhtuan at the Nioholson tunnel, on the Delaware, Laokawanna and Western railroad. He was of robust health aud very industrious, and during the alternate Weeks when he watched the railroad tunnol by night he was in the habit of spending several hours eaoh day in cultivating the little farm that surrounded his home. One morning Fernan returned from his work and told his wife that ho was feeling well, but very sleepy. Ho went to bed without eating any breakfast. At noon one of the children oame down, stairs aud said, “Father won’t wake up for dinner. ” But the slooper was not disturbed. When, however, Fernau did not appear at supper, his wife went to his room, whore she found him stretched across the bed still dressed in his working olothes and in what appeared to be a sound and natural slumber. Her efforts to awukon him were unsuccessful, and as he was still sleeping heavily the following morning a physician waH summoned, but his attempts to awaken the sleeping man were equally fruitless. In the course of several days other physicians were called in, und after a consultation eleotrio shooks, ice cold water baths and the trioklitig of ice water down the patient’s spinal column were resorted to as well as the piercing of sensitive portions of his body with pins and needles in the hope that his sleep might be broken. But the slooper never wiuoed, and every shook was followed with equally barren results. Tho physioians were mystified, and the uneasiness of the family increased as he slept on week ufter week and month after month.

IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Will Mrs. McKinley Have Some One to Assist Her In Her Duties? While the politicians are devoting themselves to a discussion of the probable composition of the next oabinet their wives are speculating with equal interest on the subjeot of the social and domestio administration of the White House. On .account of Mrs. McKinley’s invalidism it has been thought likely by many that she might be averse to un* dertaking the personal discharge of her duties as the president's wife and might call to her assistance some friend or relative. Those who anticipate anything of tho sort do not know Mrs. MoKiuley, whoso indomitably will, tact and capacity enable her to rise superior to the physical weakness to whioh she is subject. That she has gone through the late campaign, when there was barely a corner in her house to whioh the publio had not access, without breaking down is in itself a tribute to her powers of endurance. As for her present illness, it is probably due to oxposuro during the last trying weeks rather than anything else. At tho White House reoeptions Mrs. McKinley will be obliged to sit in a chair, but aside from this she will conduct the nffuirs of that institution with the same charming graoe that characterizes her administration of the smaller affairs in her present home. Mrs. McKinley is fortuuate in having the companionship of Mrs. Heistand, the wife of Captain H. O. S. Heistand, who has been assisting Major McKinley in a confidential capacity during the last few months. The Heistunds are regular army poople who met the MoKiuloys in Columbus five years ago. Captain Heistand was then the inspecting officer of the Ohio national guard. When Major McKinley retired from office, Captain Heistand seoured leave of absence and went to Canton, where he has remained ever since. His wife has relieved Mrs. McKinley somewhat of the labors imposod upou her by tho constant proseuce of thousands of visitors. It is shrewdly suspected that after the inauguration the Heistands will be located in Washington aud will be muoh at tho White House. Tho captain is an agreeable man of the world und his wife a talented aud attruotive woman.—Chioago Tribuno.

HAS TO MAKE A LIVING.

A Story of Francis Wilson ami a Hawkshaw From Yonkers. Frauois Wilson says many funny things on the stage, and he seems to reot ognlze a good thing when it is said. I have therefore wondered whether ha has ever told of his meeting with the chief of the Yonkers polioe department wheu thut Hawkshaw was engaged in the solving (?) of the Andrus bomb mystery. It happened this way: Wilson, who lias a delightful littla cottage in Mount Vernon, came across to Yonkers the day after the mysterious death of Mr. Andrus and uooompanied by a friend entered the polioe headquarters. He was anxious to see the fragments of the bomb and whatever else the polioe bud found on the soene of the crime. There were a number of New York newspaper men present at the time. “Oaptain Mangin,” said the friend, “I want to introduce you to Francis Wilson.” r “Happy to meet you, Mr. Wilson.” “Mr. Wilson,” said the friend, “is carious to see the evidence you have oolleoted iu the Andrus case. ” “Certainly, Mr. Wilson,” and Oaptain Mangin displayed tho fragments of the bomb and the splintered desk under which it had exploded. Then an idea strnck*him. “Do anything in the detective way, Mr, Wilson?” “No, hardly,” and the aotor and his friend soon left the police station. “Now, I wonder,” said tho worthy Hawkshaw, a* the door closed behind bis visitors, “what that Mr. Wilson wanted to see those things for. I wonder if he lives here in Yonkers.” “Why, that’s Francis Wilson, the aotor.” suggested one of the newspaper men present. “Aotor, is he? Well, I s’pose he’s got to make a living somehow.’’—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Pngs In Their Glory.

The end of the oentury pugilist seems to be on velvet in the metropolis of this glorious country. Sporting men and all admirers of the manly art in New York are much pleased with Commissioner Roosevelt’s ideas on boxing. They regard it as the very best thing that could have happened for the sport. They say there never will be any brutality in a well regulated contest. But while Commissioner Roosevelt and Dr. Parkburst say they are in favor of boxing contests and regard them as a manly sport there are several ministers who are condemning the game in vigorous termß. In spite of the division of clerical opinion, however, pugilism will have a great run in Gotham. New olubs, formed to meet the requirements of the Horton law, are springing up all over town. — New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.
