Boston, r. G. Spalding of Chicago, John
b. Day of New York and A. Reach of
Philadelphia, as a special committee of
the National Base Ball league, to-day sat
in this city to determine what two clubs to
add to the league in place of the disbanded
clubs of Providence and Buffalo, or deter
mine whether only six clubs. as at present,

league. The committee resolved to add
Washington TO the roll and the choice Of
the eighth club from indianapolis, Kansas
City or Milwaukee should be left to the
clubs of the league in Chicago, Detroit and

in favor of Kansas City. If not done be-
fore, the committee on March IA, at Chi

stallments of $1,000, payable during the
month of March in each year, said fund to
constitute aquarterly fund for the fUlhllment
of the constitutional requirements of the
league, and they shall deposit bonds of $4,000
each.
This fund will in time by interest build
up large sum to be used for the benefit of
the league players disabled in the field.

APLUCKY PUGrLIST.
The Hard Fight "GYpsY JOe''
Cooper Gave Cleary.

Cooper Gave CIeary.
Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 16.-"Gypsy
Joe" Cooper of Buffalo leaped into fame
tonight as plucky and game pugilist, and
his encounter with Mike Cleary at the
Theatre COmique will be the talk of the
fraternity for a week. Cleary had been
doing up several pugilists during this week,
and it was supposed that Cooper would
meet with a similar fate. He proved to be
a tough customer, and ClearY was not al
ali sorry when the last round was finished.
The first round was taken up with sparring,
except a few blows, while Cleary was
watching for a chance TO land his favOrite
right. The Gypsy" stad within lighting
distance all the time and gave as good as
was sent. In the second round the con-
testanIs warmed up and set the big audience
wild as they went at it hammer and tOngs
all over the stage. Cleary evidently meant
business and forced the fighting. Cooper
stood up bravely. taking the severe blows
he received about the head and face without
fiinching. Cleary floored him couple OF
times, but he responded gamely until
HE WAS TUMBLED ovEE
for the third time from a terrific right
handler on the jaw. 1t made the man from
SHY. anu OlCdIy might nave HI
Ished him then, but he refrained from CIV
ing him the Knockout. Much to the sur
prise of everybody Cooper recovered in
stantly and fought as gamely as before.
There was mighty roar from
the spectators as he swung out his
right hand and caught Cleary on
the tip OF his chin with a whack which
sounded all over the house, and Knocked
him clean off his feet. 1t daZed Cleary and
taught him a lesson which he protited by
and he kept the Gypsy as far away as
possible during the rest of the contest.
Neither man was able to finish the other in
the fourth round, but Cooper was the
stronger by long odds. After the battle
was over the friends of Cleary were loud
i'm praises of His leniency in not knocking
out Cooper. while the adherents of the lat
ter were jubilant over the good showing
made by their man. Jack Burke, who
knocked Cleary out in Chicago recently,
will be on hand this week, and the Gypsy
will meet him,

THE MATTER OF MANNERS.

Is it true that we of the present day are
less careful i'm the ObServances of all those
nieeties of life. due regard for which re-
suits in what we call fine manners? 1t is
certainly true that when a man is partieu-
larry mindful OF the details of polite inter
course with his fellows it produces pleas
ant impression upon all with whom lie
comes in contact an impression
which is all the more vivid be-
cause of its comparative rarity.
In the hurly-burly and rush Of American
life little time is given To social forms. The
dIiferential bow of a past generation be-
comes curt nod with the present and the
courteous consideration with which age and
the opposite sex were wont 20 be treated is
exchanged for Indifference almost amount
ing to Tudeness. 1t is not often that this
progressive age must needs go back to oldsn
times for a model of any kind but FROM the
tendency of modern manners TO lose much
of the essential polish which formerly char
acterized them it would seem that the gal
liant of the present day conld learn a very
pointed lesson from the demeanor and de-
pertinent Of the old school gentleman.

An Important Discovery.

A Boston chemist has made a discovery
that supplies lOng-felt want. He has in
vented process by which he extracts the
essential oil out of the tear-compelling
onion.
For instance, a young lawyer has brought
suit before justice of the peace on a note
of hand for $3.50. He can make the well
kin ring with his eloquence and vet the
court and jury will not feel for the young
lawyers client; but, if by smelling a wal OF
this extract de onion, he can cause q few
genuine tears to trickle down his cheek, or
dropping from the end of his nose, splash
upon the floor, who could resist such au
appeal?
Again, If some modern Juliet, into whose
ear Romeo had just been whispering few
vows, could, at precisely the right moment,
shed small shower of genuine homemade
tears, how handy they would come in.
would not Romeo be perfectly satisfied in
MS own mind, thanks to that artificial moist
are, that he was the first and only Romeo
who had ever told her that he loved her,
whereas in reality he had numerous prede-
ceSSOrs.
How a few drops, just at the proper
crisis, would cause the fond husband TO
to come down with new hats. A few drops
of onion Juice snuffed up the nose and the
proud lord of creation is as helpless as q
child.

tors and publishers do. The one serious
objection that he urges against the methods
of modern daily journalism is that the news
papers are filed too much with accounts OF
crimes and horrors. Just why he makes a
plea in the name of Christianity that this
thing shall be stopped is not quite clear.
The business of a newspaper is TO give the
news. If crimes are committed and horri-
bic accidents occur it is the place OF the
newspapers to publish the facts. The news
papers are not responsible for the crimes
and the accidents, but as faithful chroniclers
of the times they are expected to record what
happens in all parts of the world each day.
If there are more crimes than good deeds
done. then that is the worlds misfortune and
no fault of the newspapers. 1t is no more
agreeable for the newspapers to publish
these things than ii is to read of them. But
they form part of each days dOings and
must go into the news columns along with
the other happenings of the day. There is
another view of this matter which has
probably escaped the attention Of those who
think as Dr.. SMITH does. The publication
of this daily record of crime has been the
means of establishing the most perfect
detective system that was ever
known. 1t is rare thing now
for criminal to escape the clutches of the
law, and the reason of il is that the daily
newspaper is itself the agency which leads
to his detection and arrest. A crime may
be committed in a certain locality tonight.
Tomorrow morning the history of that
crime ana description of the criminal is
read in every city, town and village in the
civilized world. AS result every
reader of the daily newspaper is made
detective to hunt the criminal
down. 1t is the daily press which
puts brand on the brow of the criminal as
conspicuous as that which rested on
CAIN. Thus it is the newspaper becom es
the most valuable ally to justice and
the most unerring guardian OF the public
peace and morals. Instead Of invoking the
name of Christianity as a plea TO stop this
feature of modern journalism, DIR. SMITH
would do better TO bid it God speed.
Newspaper journalism is not perfect.
Like great CITY in which there are a great
many fine streets, there must of necessity
be some bad ones. So it is with newspaper
publications There may be ever so many
attractive features. still there are others
which are not altogether agreeable. yet
they legitimately belong within the limits
of newspaper work. The frigates of good
and the chips of error will sometime float
side by side on the same stream. 1t must
not be expected to find perfection in news
paper journalism in this world where
nothing is perfect. Yet when we take into
consideration the strides which have been
made in daily journalism within recent
years. it must be confessed that it is more
nearly reaching perfection than any other
human device.

STARVATION WAGES IN EUROPE.

The state department at Washington is
utilizing the consular service to good pur-
pose i'm collecting valuable information re-
lating to the labor conditions of foreign
countries. From the reports which have
been made to the department by the various
consular agents, we gather picture of the
deplOrable depths which European labor
has reached and of the starvation wages
which are paid To European labOrers.
Among the interesting reports which have
recently been made, the most important are
those which relate to agricultural
labor in Germany. Consul DrrH-
MAR, writing from Breslau, states that
the laborer usually lives upon the estate and
is employed upon it the year round. The
working hours i'm the summer are from 6
in the morning to in the afternoon and in
winter from sunrise TO sunset. The annual
wages amount to from SIG TO S23 in cash.
twenty-four bushels of rye, one and one
half bushels of wheat, three bushels of peas
in addition to free lodging and free fuel.
The laborer's wife is bound to work in the
field whenever required and receives from
10 to IA cents a day. The consul at Bruins
wick reports that the rate of wages paid in
the duchy of Brunswick de ponds upon the
locality where such Ia Dor is EN-
ployed, being considered higher In the
level than in the mountainous districts.
In the level districts the wages of a man and
wife aggregate less than $500 per annum.
In the district of Wolfenbuttel the laborers
receive a cash wage Of IS cents per day,
working twelve hours both summer and
winter. Women are paid 10 cents for the
same time. Consul DITHMAR reports that
the wages paid the miners and mine labor
ers range from 52 cents paid to firemen.
engineers and carpenters down to IS cents
paid to women and boys. The laborers
enjoy no luxuries and but few comforts. A
writer on economic subjects estimates that
the average laborer's family, consisting of
himself, wife and five children, subsists on
SIS year.

Ryan telegraphed Sullivan that owing to
the death Of his mother it would be neces-
Sary 10 postpone the contest. Sullivan and
his managers agreed 10 a postpOnement,

would be decided in few weeks. This
afternoon Sullivan received dispatch from
William Morton. q well-known New York

Sullivan and the receipt of dispatch from
William Bennett of New York TO the effect
that the proposed fight between Ryan and
Sullivan was OF, because Ryan could not
raise the 81, 500. Paddy Ryan was shown
the telegram by a reporter tonight and the
pugiliSt said:
II know nothing at all about il. I have
telegraphed and written to Coburn for infor-
nation, but have received none, except the
dispatch published last Sunday. l did not
authorize CoOurn 10 make any match for me.
nor do believe Sullivan authorized Bennett
10 do so for him. You can say for me, though,
that am ready and anxious to meet Sullivan
at any time and place and fight on any
condition that he may name and that | can

All, love, see your boudoir light
Already shining like a star;
/ had so much to tell tonight,
i wish our walk Was twice as farl
The eyes that watch in skies above
Seem kindly smiling on US, love.
The lachet OF the little gate
Lifts half reluctantly, as though
II knew what secret longiugs wait
Deep in my heart, some sign to show
That bids them fearlessly to rise
And seek an answer in your eyes.
And while unconsciously we stand
Together here, moments space
The gentle pressure OF your hand,
The shy expression on your face,
Comes like Loves messenger in Ques
Or what so long ago you guessed.
Beneath these leafy vines the dew
Has lately kissed, a silver CLEAN
Of moonlight falling over you
Makes you the image of a dream
That comes forever in my sleep
As If memory to keep.
A vision fair who never speaks;
But in the smile always see
Steal softly DER the rounded cheeks
There seems message sent to me.
Be you its kind interpreter,
And whisper to me. love, of her.
For you it Is, when am blind.
OF whom dream; and now, awake,
Beloved, tell me / may find
1t true when slumber's letters break
With but her smile take leave of me,
And shall know its mystery!

MUsCATINE, Ia, Jan. 16.-A committee
consisting of eX-State Senators Pliny Mich
OILS, Benjamin Hershey and John Mahon
was appointed as a committee by the
County Temperance alliance TO present a
report to the legislature for the impeaeh-
ment of Judge Walter J. Hayes of the Sev-
enth Iowa judicial district The report
charges Judge Hayes with wilfuuv. delhi
erately and perSiStently defeating the law
by imposing merely nominal fines and de-
creaSing the amount on subsequent Of
lenses, instead of increasing them as the
law requires. 1t charges collision with
District Attorney Cannon in requiring con-
victed saloonkeepers to plead not guilty in
stead Of guilty, so the attorney can get
double fees, and gives instances of men
fined larger amounts when they pleaded
guilty than when they sleaded not guilty.
II charges the judge with shameleSsly re-
fusing to apply the law as changed by tho
last legislature requiring him 10 abate nui-
sanceS. The word ''shall' having been
substituted for may" i'm section l543 OF
the code. The report concludes as fol-
lows:
He gives all possible aid and encourage
meut to the liquor traffic by his charges,

SKATE SPEEDING.

In the matter Of inaugurating an ice car
nival Montreal possessed one advantage
over st. Paul. Montreal has always had a
number of winter-amusement associations,
such as tOboggan and snowshoe clubs,
which were great auxiliary in forming a
carnival association. In fact the Montreal
carnival was the outgrowih OF the ST.
George Snowshoe club of that city. ST.
Paul was placed at the disadvantage OF
having no such associations, and conse.
gently along with the work Of organ
iZing the carnival was coupled that OF
organizing the amusement clubs. Notwith-
standing the additional labor encountered
and the additional difficulties to be over
come by reason of having 10 commence at
the stump, so to speak, in the matter OF
preparing for the carnival. the work has
progressed with wonderful Tapidity and
even beyond the expectations of the most
sanguine. The number of various assOcia-
tons which have been formed, organized
and uniformed, and the zeal the members
are displaying in an endeavOr to make them
attractive features of the carnival is most
surprising. AS there seems TO be no
limit to the zeal of our enter
prising people neither should there be
any limit to the variety of entertain
ments that should be provided. 1t is,
therefore. with view of directing the at
tention of the carnival directors TO the ad-
visibility of utilizing all available schemes
for pleasure-giving that the GLOBE pub
fishes this morning a communication from
an intelligent young Englshman. descrip-
tive of the sport of speed skating so p0pu-
lar in the old country. The river will fur
nish an elegant race course and the only
expense attending it will be that OF clean
ing the snow from the course. As there
are number of gentlemen living i'm the
city who have had sufficient practice in the
sport to be adopts there is no reason why a
skate-speeding club should not be organized
and skate speeding made one of the attrac-
tons of the carnival. At all events we
commend Mr.. BULLARD's communication
to the consideration of the carnival directors.

A Basis for Its Prophecy.


INV
The growth OF the twin cities of st. Paul
and Minneapolis during the past year has
been one OF the most important incidents In
our history. Chicago Is no longer the wonder
OF the West. The capital of the new North
west IS now the exposure OF the Mississippi
valley. In Chicago SO. 1000 were last year
expended in building. This is but $1,000. coo
more than were spent in St. Paul and Mime
apoiis- In some departments OF trade the
latter cities are without rival. Seventy per
cent more bushels of wheat were shipped TO
Minneapolis than to Chicago last year. The
sales OF real estate IN the two cities during
the same time amounted to sac, coz, 900, and
their Jobbing trade amounted 70 over Sl20.-
OOO.OOO- This double city has some basis for
its proud prophecy that before the close OF
the century It will overtop every city on the
continent except New York.
