Many testators have left their money
for the dissemination of religious
and irreliQious opinions, and for the
distribution Of other peoples books.
But few have carried their testamentary
caprice 90 far az tho testator in q case
before Mr.. Justice Pearson in London q
few days since, who left e2000 to be de-
voted to the publication of q manuscript
work of his own on religion and morals.
Tho book was to be called, 1.-THE Ethics
Of the Future" and the proceeds were
to be divided between a nephew and q
hospital at Oxford. The manuscript
was reported on by tho chief clerk "a
shaving tendency TO promote religion
and morality generally" and according
~ e4O0 was allowed for the expenses Of
first edition. The work saw tho light
in 1876. Twenty-one copies were sold
the first year; one copy has been sold
since. Tho hospital now generously
waived its claim to q moiety Of the
profits, and an order was made for the
distribution Of tho $1,000 remaining to
relatives.

APUGILISTIC PEER.
A Tough story 70 the Effect That
Jim MaceWas SOundIy Thrash
ed by Lord Charles BeresfOrd.
LONDON. June 4.

LONDON, June 4.
Lord Charles Beresford has entered
the prize ring. The arrival of Jim
Mace and his Maori novice was no
sooner announced than his lordship' s
arlstocratic blood was stirred for a
fight. He challenged the Maori and
Mace, and set>to without gloves was
arranged. Sporting circles became
interested, and even the fashionable
world was eager to patronize the fight.
Jim Mace accepted the challenge, and
the fighters met in a specially engaged
private room near the Elephant and
Castle public house, in The Borough
Road. The Prince of Wales was
present and he was surrounded by a
large number of aristocratic sports and
private gentlemen. There was a
number of the fancy" in the near
neighborhood of the ring.
Heavy hitting was INDUCED in and
the fun was enjoyed immensely by
those present. After several exciting
rounds, in which excellent science
was displayed on both sides, Mace
failed to come to time, and finally
rkuowledged himself badly beaten.
Lord Charles won an easy victory, and
aim 'st without a scratch. Herbert
Slad3, the Maori, who had been anx-
ious to have a round or two with
Beresford, looked on with amazement
as the old fighter Mace received the
pun meliug from his noble opponent.
When Lord Charles had finished with
Mace and had received the plaudits of
the company, he invited Slade to take
turn, but the Maori, warned by the
woebegone appearance Of Mace, re-
fused to enter the ring, or risk any
encounter with Lord Charles. Mace
took his defeat quietly. The Maori
seemed much chagrined at the result
OF the fight. He had counted on get
ting some reputation in England, and
his breaking down at the first chal>
lenge is regarded with suspicion. 1t
is now known that Lord Charles inti>
mated to his Royal Hiphness that an
English gentleman could always whip
professional fighter, and that he had
expressed a determination to meet
Jem Mace and the Maori giant at the
first opportunity.

OUTLAWS OVERPOwERED.
The Noted Barber Brothers Sue.
cessfully Captured by Brave
Men Without Weapons.

WAvERLY, Iowa, June 1.-THE cap
ture of the noted Barber boys was effected
at farm house four miles southwest of
TripOli and 16 miles southeast of this
place During the day they had been
concealed in the barn of German farmer
named August Tetginere and about 8
o'clock in the evening they went to the
house and asked for some supper. Henry
Tetgmere, son of the farmer, recognized
and succeeded in conveying this fact to his
father, whom he instructed to give the
alarm to the neighbors. Henry remained
at home to assist his mother in preparing
a meal for the despetadoes. Several men,
all of whom were Germans, accompanied
Eddie Tetgmere to his home. They had
no weapons save one gun, which it is
claimed was not loaded. Their intention
was TO surround the house, and when the
boys came out TO spring upon them
and secure them before their suspicious
could be aroused This plan was baffled
through excitement. Oneof the men who
rushed into the house to secure the ban
dts, upon which the latter both drew re.
volvers and began firing promiscuously.
Henry Tetgmere sprang upon Bill Bar
Der, knocked his hand away and caught
him by the throat. The melee then be-
came general, and Bill was soon on the
floor, but managed to continue firing
over his shoulder. Ike managed to
escape his pursuers for. moment, and
leaping through an open window began
firing at the men inside. By this time
several of the attacking party were
wounded, and finally one, named Henry
Page, went outside of the door and sue
ceeded in pinioning Ike by the arms.
Henry Karsting received a ball through
the body and exclaimed, Boys,
1 am going to die He still
continued TO fight and aided in
tying both men by the arms with a rope,
which Mrs. Petgmere had gone to the
barn and procured Sixteen shots were
fired by the outlaws. Ike emptied the
two weapons he had on his person, OF
the five brave men who attacked them, all
were wounded.

Phe earnings of the Louisville and
Nashville Company still show an in
crease. For the fourth week in May,
1888, they were 1893, $50, against 1898,
$40 for the same week last year. The
estimated earnings for the whole
month Of May, 1888, are Sl,046,0OO,
against the estimated earnings last
year Of $9i6, ,435, or an increase Of $780,

This apparent increase in earnings
is greater than the reality, and the
June earnings will show a large de-
