PETE Mccoy.
An Interview with iha Naw York
Champion.
his Battles in the Twenty-Four
Foot Ring,
His Appearance, How He Trains
and Feels

A MINER reporter came across Pete
Mccoy last evening and expressing a
wish to have a few minutes interview
with him was politely invited by the
famous pugelist to his room over
King & Lowry's. The reporter
frankly stated the object of his visit
and Mccoy as frankly stated he
was ready to answer every
question which would be of interest
to the public. With this assurance
the reporter piled question upon
question which were promptly and
satisfactorily answered.
Mccoy, as he appears in his every.
day rig, does not present q remark
able appearance in any respect. To
see him among a crowd of men one
would take him for 3 well>built,
active young miner who passed his
time swinging picks and shovels
rather than one who has made q rep
utation with his maulers. A close
look at the man, however, reveals
certain physical traits not often seen
among the common run of men. For
one of his heights feet 9 inches-he
has a remarkatl lie breadth and depth
of chest, and broad shoulders. A
strong full neck supports a head
thrown slightly back, indicating self
reliance and q disposition to push
his way throgh the world. His fea-
lures are o mewhat. angular, and
clearly cut. but show no
signs Of that indifference to
the feelings of others, or of
the brutality which many suppose

One good result of the hard times a
few years ago, was the bringing into
life an article in proprietary medicine,
which gave to every purchaser a full
equivalent for his money. The rule of
this class of medicines is from 10. to 25
doses for 81, the best only reaching 40.
Messrs. Hood 4 Go. took new depart
ure and in the article now SO well and
fayorably known as Hoods Sarsaparilla,
they gave the unprecedented quantity
of 100 doses for 81. These facts COM

The First Keen Twinge.

AS the season advances, the pains and
aches by which rheumatism makes
itself known, are experienced after
every exposure, 1t is not claimed that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is specific for
rheumatism-we doubt if there is, or
can be, such remedy. But the thous-
ands benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla,
warrant us in urging Others who suffer
from rheumatism to take it before the
first keen twinge.

Just then Mr.. Beecher appeared, and
Immediately the scene became temp

and cheered many times while Mr..
Beecher smiled at them and removed
his overcoat. He came there to speak
and needed no Introduction:
"Well, well, gentlemen, I hope you
feel better" said the great preacher,
calmly shaking his dripping umbrella
at twenty reporters seated beneath his
feet almost. He began on his favorite
story of the birth of the Republican
party, and while tracing its history
through the war, he was repeatedly
compelled to stop and wait until the
tremendous applause subsidized He
said he was now opposing the party
whose cradle he had rocked, because
he didn't propose to be a pall-bearer to
carry the coffin of the party to the
grave. After contrasting Blaine beg
ging votes in Ohio, with Cleveland at
tending to his duties in Albany, Mr..
Beecher said:

left my work earlier than midnight to

Love In a Bible Glass.

August Roden resides in the pretty
Village of Woodhaven L. L, and is a
man of many parts. That is to say, he
is Treasurer of the Congregational
Church, teaehnx of the Bible class. and
q prominent member of the temperance
society. As if this was not sufficient to
occupy the time of one person, August
added to his burdens by falling in love
with a girl fifteen years his junior.
Among the residents of Woodhaven
are the Salliers, one of whom. a maiden
of l5s named eGlaras IS the oajers Bpon
which August has fixed his undying
love. Miss Clara is tall and stately, with
raven black and lustrous eyes. She
attended the Sunday school of the Con-
gregational Church, and was a member
of the bible class of which August was
teacher. The young man divided his
time about equally in explaining Scrip
ture and saying pretty things to the
young Franco-American beauty. The
latter's parents considered that she
was ''o'er young to marry yet" and
when August waited on Mr.. Sallier and
asked him for Clara the old Frenchman
was indignant.
Marry re petete Clar, Nevare!" he
exclaimed. ''She has un father, and
if she wed you, she have deux fathers.
Nevare! You are too-vat you cal
'em aged"
This rebuff, however, did not dis
courage the mature lover and he at
tended strictly to his dual duty on Sun
days until the maiden finally said tC
him.
You make me tired. 1 will come
no more"
Then she ceased to attend the Sun
/ day school This only spurred Angus
on, and whenever the pretty Clara Sc
her foot outside of her home the fonC
lover was at her side. At last it be
came necessary to have guard attenC
the girl whenever she went out He
father usually formed the guard, rein
forced by a double-barreled shotgun
This had bad effect upon August
He was averse to buckshot, so he KEEP

his broken hopes as his companions

That settled it. Retiring to q cluml

and laid down to die.
The poison only made the despairin,
