and change was made to thwart
him. This lazy but smart correspon
dent, however got the news, and his
opponents were at a loss for a long
time to find out how he did so. They
finally set watch upon him and found
he VS. in the habit of going up over

ran. He had fine sense Of touch,
and was SO good teiegrapher that he
could read what was going over the

paper is to show that coffee is one Of
the most powerful drugs in the list
of medicines. The proof of its power
as drug is shown by the fact that it

NEW YORK, Dee. 10. -Between II and
| O'Clock this morning a select number of
sporting men and ex-pugilists were enjoy
ing a social time in a well known sporting
resort when a discussion arose as to the
relative pugilistic abilities of Tommy War
rem. Western champion feather-weight,
and the well known l2S-pound boxer of
this city, johnny Farrell. Both were
present. Warren, after knocking out
Andy Hanley a short time ago, expressed
a willingness to meet Farrell for fun or
money. This willingness was expressed
by Warren at the gathering referred to.
Farrell was agreeable, and the party add
iourned to n room up stairs, where two
ounce gloves were produced, which the
pugilists donned at once. The party,
which numbered about twenty, appointed
themselves, individually and collectively,
both referees and timekeepcrs, and time
was called for the set-to.
The first round was very tame, only
light sparring being INDUCED in, but in the
second round, which was allowed to run
into five or six minutes. because OF the in
tense attention of all the referees. The
men were urged by the party and becom-
ing warm. slugged each other to their ut
most ability. Both were much winded
when they retired, Warren getting black
welt under his left eye. From this point.
owing to the exbilerated condition OF
those present, stories vary as to the con
tinuance of the impromptu mill. Far
rells friends, who were present, claim
that three more rounds were hit, and
that in the fifth, Warren was knocked
