TERRY M'GOVERN III HIS OLD F Brooklyn Boy Furnishes Genu- . ine Suprise in His Fight With Jim Britt. CALIF0RNIAN SHOWN UP BOTH FIGHTERS ARE ARRESTED AFTER THE CONTEST FOR PUR POSE OF MAKING TEST CASE OF THE HORTON LAW. Publishers Press Madison Square Garden, N. Y., May 28. Either Jimmle Britt held Terry McGovern too cheaply in their bout here tonight, or he is rapidly going back, as in a fight that was decidedly the best seen in this city since the re peal of the Horton law, McGovern outpointed the Californian and at the bell in the tenth round, the limit of the bout, had him bleeding freely from the mouth, nose and ears and puffing hard. This. too. despite the fact McGovern went into the ring with con siderable fat showing about his waist. Terry Forces Matters. McGovern forced matters from the start and looked more like the "Terrible Teddy" of old than he did fn the fight in Philadelphia with Battling Nel son. Britt's face at the end showed plainly the marks of Terry's right and left swings, and hooks, but the only mark discernable on "Terry" was a small "mouse" under his right eye. That McGovern felt confident that he could withstand anything that his younger opponent had to hand out, was shown by the fact that he made little effort to block Britt's lefts but smashed back with telling effect every time. Britt showed up the better only in the first round and in the second Ter ry started the claret and again in the third brought it out in profusion so that by the end of the eighth Britt looked as though he had been cut with a butchers' cleaver. While no decision was "possible un der the law it was the general consensus of opinion that had one been possible It must have been given to the Brooklyn boy. McGovern will now be matched to meet Nelson in a twenty round fight here. Pugs are Pinched. New York, May '28. Both McGov ern and Britt, their seconds and managers, and Harry Pollok, the manager of the carnival, were arrested and held in bail.

The archaeologist digs through the sands of the desert, the accumulations of vegetable mold and the debris of human habitation In a search for the palaces of great kings, the markets of wealthy traders and the homes of a once numerous people. The massacres of ancient warfare may explain some of these dead and burled cities. The Inability of people in early history to deal with the sanitary problems of a congested population may have been a contributing cause to their destruction. Cities may have died because their people could not live. But in most cases a change in the routes of commerce will be found to have diverted the stream of nourishment from a city and left it to die of starvation. Yet the Eternal City and Athens, Byzantium, Jerusalem, Antloch and Damascus illustrate the tenacity of municipal vitality, even though a long succession of centuries brings great changes In the methods and subjects and courses of traffic Philadelphia Record. Herbert Speneer. A queer instance of the working of Herbert Spencer's mind is mentioned by the two sisters in whose household he lived. He came to the table one day absorbed in thinking about some photographs of the nebulae he had just received: "As he rose from his chair he stood for a minute gazing with gleaming eyes into the distance, and then muttered in a disjointed fashion, as if half to himself, words to this effect: Thirty mil lions of suns, each probably having its own system, and supposing them each to be the size of a pin's head they are fifty miles apart! What does it all mean? And then, without a pause and only a change of voice, 'The fluff still comes out of that cushion, yon know,' as with a wave of his small, thin hand totvard it he passed rapidly out of the room, leaving us both bewildered by the quickness with which his mind worked." A Heavy Sample. Sometimes the rigors of patent office procedure are not without their humorous side. A New York attorney filed an application for improvements In a centrifugal pump. The patent office declared the invention inoperative and demanded a working model. The pat ent office was requested to send an ex amlner to Trenton to Inspect the machine in actnaj. operation.. Thla the patent office refused ,tQ , do, .The at iorney, therefore, politely sent a seven ton pump. to tbe.patent.olHce-rM11 it, moreover, from Trenton to satisfy a skeptical examiner.

Into his confidence by frankly and fearlessly publishing broadcast as well as on its bottle wrappers, a full list of all its ingredients in plain English, this action on his part is the best possible evidence that he ts not afraid to have the search light of Investigation turned full upon his formula and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains and functional derangements of the organs distinctly feminine, is the only medicine put up for sale through drugjrlsts for woman's special use. the maker of which is not afraid to take his patients into his full confidenco by such open and honest publicity.

American, medicinal roots, that it contains no poisonous or habit-forming drujrs. no narcotics and no alcohol pure, triple-refined glycerine, of proper strength being used instead of the commonly employed alcohol, both for extracting and preserving the active medicinal properties found in the roots of the American forest plants employed. It is the only medicine for women's pecular diseases, sold by drug?its, that does not contain a large percentage of alcohol, which is in the long run so harmful to woman's delicate, nervous system. Now. glycerine is perfectly harmless, and serves a valuable purpose by possessing intrinsic value all its own, and besides it enhances the curative oSeet of the other ingredients entering into the "Favorite Prescription." Some of the ablest medical writers and teachers endorse these views and praise ail the several ingredients of which "Favorite Prescription" is composed recommending them for the cure of tho very same diseases for which this worldfamed medicine Is advised. No other medicine for women has any such professienal endorsement worth more than any number of ordinary testimonials. If Interested, send name and address to Dr. R. V. Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y., for his little book of extracts from the works of eminent medical writers and teachers, endorsing the several ingredients and telling just what Dr. Pierce's medicines are made of.

The use of glass to aid the 6ight of defective eyes is, however, much older. Nero looked through a concave glass In watching the gladiatorial games, and many other historical men of his day were depend ent on similar devices tor lengthening their sight. Till the latter part of the thirteenth century only the single glass was In use. In 1290 the double glass was In vented, and in the fourteenth century spectacles were used quite, frequently by the very wealthy and high born, al though they were still so scarce that they were bequeathed In will with all the elaborate care that marked the disposition of a feudal estate. The first spectacles were made in Italy. Somewhat later the manufacture of cheaper glasses sprang up In Holland, and it spread late In the fourteenth century to Germany, Nuremberg and Rathenow acquired fame for their glassea between 1490 and 1500. For many years glasses were used only as a means of aiding bad eyes, un til the fashion of wearing merely for the sake of wearing them sprang up in Spain. It spread rapidly to the rest of the continent and brought about the transformation of the old thirteenth century spectacles into eyeglasses and eventually Into the monocle.

What Water Did. A certain liquor dealer, a hard head ed old Scot, grew rich in the trade, After he had grown rich the old. man built himself a fine house, a limestone mansion on the hill, with a park around it, with conservatories, stables and outbuildings in a word, a palace. One day the old Scot rode in the omnl bus past his fine house. A temperance man pointed up at the grand edifice and ' said, with a sneer, "It was the whisky built that, wasn't it?" "Na, na, man; the water," the Scot answered. London Mail.

"When Speneer Traveled. When Herbert Spencer went on a long railway Journey it was his prac tice tft have reserved for him a first class compartment Across the car riage he used to have a hammock swung, in which he traveled to avoid the vibration and concussion. There was something funny in .the spectacle of the staid philosopher traveling in this fashion, and so it appeared to the people who witnessed the preparation for his ' departure. The ' inquisltives were soon disappointed, for as soon as Spencer recognized that he was being made the object of unsolicited atten tlon he would shout out in stentorian tones to the porters he used to have four to look after him "Draw down those blinds!"

Won Thirty of the Staffer's Fellow Prisoner Another Chance. In a newspaper note Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the famous American wom an who spent many years In an English prison, is reported to have resumed her maiden name of Chandler Day and to be living quietly In New York In straitened circumstances. To thousands of your redders the fact that Mrs. Maybrick was the sister-in-law of Stephen Adams, the composer of "The Holy City," and that hers was the first female voice' that sang the hymn will come as a revelation. Stephen Adams' true name was Michael Maybrick, youngest brother of ber husband, and the song was sung for the first time on board his yacht. A most touching Incident In connection with the hymn occurred In San Francisco several years ago. It was Monday, in police court a busy day. A long line of "drunks," as many as could be accommodated, stood ranged before the bar. A former member of a noted opera company. who had fallen on evil days, was one of those taken In the dragnet, though not, In line. After the noise and bustle attendant on getting, the first batch of prisoners Into order a strong, clear, powerful voice rolled up from the cells, singing: "Last nlffht I lay a-sleeplng There came a dream bo fair. The words, sung in such an unusual place, produced a visible shock among the sodden wretches. Men dropped on their knees and wept In silent prayer. The mingled music and sobbing interrupted the court's proceedings.' "The judge, making no order to stop the song, it moved to a climax: "Jerusalem! 'Jerusalem! Sins: for the night Is o'er! Hosanna In the highest! Hosanna for evermore !" Seeing the visible effects of contrition on the faces of the men, the Judge, impelled by his feelings, remarked to the officer that there must be some good left in them; they must have another chance. And so it came to pass that the singing of "The Holy City" gave thirty of the singer's fellow prisoners another chance. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
