The Barnes-Norton Glove Contest


The great glove contest, in which so much
interest is being manifested by the fancy,
will be decided tomorrow. Prof. Barnes
was visited yesterday by our sporting scribe
at his training quarters in the st. Paul gym
nasium. He witnessed the professor ''take
his work. and after seeing him fight the
bag for half an hour, and wind up a two mile
spin around the track without showing any
fatigue, came to the conclusion that it will
be some time before any one of his weight
viii force him to the ropes. Norton is pre-
pairing himself at the residence of his
friend and hacker DR.. Campbell, at
which place he has fitted up e
very serviesble gymnasium containing all the
apparatus necessary for his work; his run
ming and walking is done on the roads Lead
ing from the city. The stakes are $3.50 on
a side, the money realized from the sale Of
tickets also going to the winner, which from
present indications viii be no trifing sum
NOTES.
The grounds viii be located near the
city.
Tickets for the trip are only SO.
Barnes will weigh las pounds.
Paddy tips the beam at $50.
Norton says Barnes won't have Soap Nc
Alpin in front of him this time.
Weber, who is training Barnes, aud
Meehan, who is performing the same office
for Norton, it is understood, will settle their
little difference in the same ring.

The young and handsome editor of the

this bet: A Cleveland girl here bet an equal

lucky Republican softly murmured that it was
the first time he ever found favor in a Demo-

The wonderful power exerted by Miss
Lulu Hurst is as great a mystery as ever.
On Monday she gave another private
exhibition in Washington, this time in
the presence of quite a number of well
known scientific men, among whom were
Prof. Graham Bell, Prof Simon New
comb, Prof. Hardness and others Of equal
note. These gentlemen were as much
mystifed as the ordinary observer. They
took every preeaution TO guard against
the possibility Of deception, and were
satisfied beyond doubt that the feats she
performed were genuine.
In addition to the ordinary exhibition
given by her she was placed on platform
held above the floor by brass rollers. On
this she failed. Placed on an ordinary
platform scale she was only partially sue
cessful. After the most remarkable ex-
hibitions her pulse was examined by the
physicians present and found perfectly
normal, while the stout gentlemen en-
gagged in attempting to resist her power
were almost exhausted, and their pulse
greatly accelerated.
A majority of those present ventured no
opinion as to the secret of her power.
Prof. NewcOmb thought it was only a re-
markable exhibition of muscular strength,
uncOnsciOusly exerted. A well known
mesmerist present declared that it was
mesmeric power. All kinds Of theories,
however, have been heretofore advanced
and none fully sustained. Mr.. Hurst and
his daughter are yet as greatly mystified
as any one, and have a Iaudable desire to
have the mystery solved and explained, if
possible.

Indiana Politics.

The Republicans of Indiana have nomi-
mated ex-COngressman Calkins for Gov
ernOr, and the Democrats are talking
about an easy victory. A great deal will
depend on the man the Democrats nOmi-
nate whether they will carry the State.
Calkins is not an organizer, but he is
very popular man. He is much above the
average in ability, and is a remark
ably fine stump speaker. There
are only two other men who
would have been stronger candi-
dates-Postmaster General Gresham and
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley. Gen.
Gresham is regarded as the brainiest man
in the party in Indiana and the most
popular, and Gen. Dudley has few equals
as a party organizer. Mr.. Calkins is one
of those frank, free-hearted sort of men
who make friends quickly and retain their
friendship. 1t is certain that he will call
out the full vote of his party. The Demo-
Gratis will make mistake if they think
they can beat him easily. 1t
is said that eX-Gov. Hendricks
is willing to enter the race against him.
If he is nominated the chances for success
VIII DC largely III MS AdfOr' ne WOULD
command the enthusiastic support of his
party, and would, perhaps, place the
State in the Democratic column. There
is another man who would poll big
vote-COngressm Holman. 1t is doubt
full, however, if he could be induced to ac-
cept the nomination. He would rather
stay in Congress. The Democrats, how
ever, need not expect to carry the State
with a second rate man. Ifthey attempt
anything of that kind they will come out
second best in the race.

A STORY FROM IOWA.
Pictures Not Drawn by Mortal Hands
Seen on a Miners Window.

Pictures Not Drawn by Mortal Hands
Seen on a Miners Window.
A Des Moines, Ia, letter of June Is
says: Several days ago the wife of coal
miner named Calvert, employed in the
Carver mines in East Des MOines, was
told by her little son that there was pic
ture on the window of their house. She
paid no attention to the lad at first, but
examining the window later was startled
to see an exact likeness of her husband,
excepting only that he was liyid in death,
with his eyes and mouth partially
open. One side of his head had the APP
pearance of having been crushed, and his
hair was matted and clotted with blood.
Thinking 1t might be an optical illusion,
she called in several neighbOrs, who pro-
nOunced the likeness complete. Calvert
was sent for, and endeavored to laugh
away his wife's fear, but in vain. He
then examined the window, and saw the
CORY image of himself under the same cir
cumstances he had seen so many of his
comrades in past years. Every effort was
made to efface the dreadful counter
felt, soap, warm water. scraping with
knives, acids and other means be-
ing vainly resoTted to, and nearly
a week elapsed before the outlines had
faded away entirely. The day following
the first appearance the same picture APP
peared on another pane OF glass, this time
being an exact reproduction of the room
in the mine where Calvert works. The
tools and mining utensils were plainly
visible, but no face appeared. There
were many visitors to the house. Several
spiritualists were among the number, and
these assert that it must be the work of
.he spirits. There are also many reliable
persons who were interviewed by the
and all vouch for the truth
,ulness of the statements made. Mrs.
Calvert cannot be induced to permit her
husband to return to his work in the
mines

On Thursday Commodore G. Il. Garri-
son said that he was worth S2O,OOO,O 900,
and on Friday he made an assignment.
The inference would naturally be that he
had considerably overestimated his
wealth. The truth is probably that his
statement respecting the amount Of his
fortune was not far from correct at his
valuation Of his property. That he was
forced to make an assignment
shows what an immense depreciation
there has been in nearly all kinds Of Sc
curities within the last few months.
Many Of the securities held by Commo-
dore Garrison would be worth very nearly
their face value, perhaps, if there were
an abundance of money to be had, and if
there were not such a lack of confidence
in stocks and shares, but doubtless little
or nothing can be obtained for them now.
Being a man Of large enterprises he
must have ready money, and
great deal of it. He cannot raise it on
the kind Of property that he has without
serious sacrifices. Rather than give his
property away, he made an assignment
for the benefit of his creditors. Some ar
rangement will doubtless be made to pre-
vent the property from being put on the
market at this time. 1t is said that with
in year Jay Gould's fortune has shrunk
S25, 600, 900. If he were to attempt to put
Union Pacific, Western Union, Missouri
Pacific or any other one Of his numerous
stocks on the market in large blocks, the
price would drop down to almost nothing
at once. He can neither raise money on
them nor sell them for anything like what
they are considered to be worth. If the
stock market doesn't soon recover from
its depression Commodore Garrison may
see his fortune of S2O,O0O,0OO disappear
with remarkable rapidity.

A Word 70 Young Men.

1t is doubtful if it is best for a young
man just emerging from school and enter
ing into the business world to have any
resources outside of his own brain and
muscle. Those who have money in hand
without experience very soon part with it,
and those who are resolved 10 acquire eX-
perience, and to properly avail themselves
of its teachings, will soon begin TO accum-
ulate money. The world is full OF places
and opportunities for the young man who
is determined to be somebody and TO do
something in life. In this country almost
every one may follow the bent Of his own
genius and choose his occupation, and the
chances for success are largely in his
favor if he viii be only determined, in
dustri0us, perseyering.
Legitimate success is not obtained by
an shrewd manipulations or lucky spec
ulations. These are questionable means
of acquiring wealth even where they are
successful, but they are only successful
in one case out Of a thousand. Young
men Of limited means just beginning in
business life should avoid them as they
would the plague, not only on account of
the great EAsh- 1uNOANEQ. BUl D-CdAsc u
the Generalization produced. whether the
venture be pecuniarily fortunate or not.
Solid legitimate success is only attained
by patience, perseverance, industry and
economy. When thus attained it is
earned, and when earned it is appreciated
and devoted TO legitimate uses.
If young man desires to be farmer,
a mechanic a merchant or a 11rofosSional
man, the first step necessary for him TO
take is to perfect himself as near as pos
sible in the avocation he is determined to
follow. He may learn much theoretically
from books and teachers, but without
practical knowledge theory will be worse
than nsaless. Theory and practice are
best acquired in actual business. Let a
young man who is determined to succeed
go to work, without salary if necessary,
in the line Of business he intends to pur-
sue, and opportunities will open to him
as his skill and knowledge and usefulness
increase. Places are always open for
those who are competent to I'LL them.
No young man need be cropping about
waiting for an opening in the busy scenes
Of life. If he has good character and in
dustry, and is possessed Of determine
ton to succeed, he can open out his own
pathway, and though sometimes he may
fail temporarily, owing to misfOrtunes or
bad cOunsels, his ultimate success is
certain

The application of the Secretary of State
for $3.50, 900 to be used in purchasing GER
tain rights in Nicaragua as a basis for a
waterway between the Atlantic and Pa
ciic oceans is attracting good deal of
attention in Washington. 1t is alleged
that French agents are hard at work try
ing to secure control Of the Nicaraguan
route. There is every reason to believe,
says a Washington correspondent, that
the Panama canal enterprise forces itself
on De Lesseps and his engineers as too
costly for practicability. Only one-thir-
tieth of the work at a cost of SO, 000, 900
francs has been done so far, and much
thereof has recently been rendered worth
less by the rain and consequent inunda-
ton from the Chagres river. The only
practicable canal route as claimed is that
offered by the Nicaraguan topography
and physical features. 1t is to secure
this beyond peradventure that the $780,
600 is needed. Senior Batres, Minister
from Guatemala, Salvador and Nicara-
qua, has conducted the negotiation with
Mr.. Frelinghuysen so far.
