mouth from Dempsey's fist, bringing the
blood. Dempsey called Vint q name which
he didn't take kindly to. Vint said that
Dempsey fouled him by treading repeatedly
ON his heels.
At 7 O'Clock the light went out in the many
colored globes in the arches of the Garden,
while the electric lights ceased to glare and
it was officially announced that morning had
come.
The atmosphere in the Garden at the start
was suffocating. Now the crowd had gone,
only a handful of people remaining in their
seats, and the morning was gray, cold and
cheerless.
Gus Guerrero, true to his nature, retired to
his hut and remained there till driven out by
his trainer.
The racers are Just beginning to feel the
first WEAKNESS, the hardest to bear of all:
Choked by the fumes of stale tobacco and
chilled by the raw morning air. they plodded
on in a discouraged way. Most of them
added to their costumes.

Call. the smallest and youngest of the men,
a mere lad with the fresh bloom of health
and of a good digestion on his cheeks and
the flash of merriment in his eye. covered
his bright green costume with a sack coat,
and all tramped along.
Guerrero ran, when he chose to participate
at all, with the same spring as in the begin
ming. Dan Herty pounded along mechani-
cally, losing no ground, but seemingly with
out his own volition.
There were only a score of the men on the
track Mt 8 o'clock, and nearly all of them
were taking their breakfast as they ran.
Here is a sample breakfast A bit of toast, a
cup of black coffee or cold tea, and an ON
elet.
At 8 o'clock the score stood as follows

There was a disagreement between Manager
Hall and the scorers ut this time, and the
latter threatened to strike. Chief Scorer Ed
Plummer sided with them. and for n time it
looked as if the international race would
come to an untimely end.
Mr.. Plummer had sent to Mr.. Hall for
passes for thirty-three men, half his force, to
enable them to go home to breakfast. Mr..
Hall had replied that the men could buy
their breakfast at the Garden restaurant and
then went TO bed.
This meant 40 or 30 cents for a cold lunch
at Coney Island prices. Mr.. Plummer OBJ
jected, too. and declared that he would take
his scoring apparatus out if the men got no
passes.
Some one hastened to the Putnam House
and pulled Manager Hall out of bed. He
hurried over to the scene of trouble, and
soon all was peace. The men breakfasted at
home.

The band began to play at LAO p. NJ, and
the inspiIiting effect was instantaneous. The

Hegelman ran together nearly, q lap.
Guerrero dashed off by himself, but when
Hegelman and the Engfishman separated the
Mexican tackled Cartwright, and, amid the
widest applause, the two men circled the
track with an ease and speed that were Won
derful.
Guerrero got slightly the better of the
brush, whereupon the crowd doubled its
cheering. At about this time the sunshine
suddenly burst in brightly through the win
lows in the roof of the building, and from a
place which had been getting rather dreary
the Garden was transformed into q noisy,
busting, almost brilliant scene.
Under all this inspiration the audience
seemed 10 have increased in number pro-
portionately to the heightened spirits of the
contestants, and. indeed, the attendance had
braced up a good deal, promising well for the
afternoon.

FOUR CIGAR-MAKERS ARRESTED.
Charged with Conspiracy While Doing Picket
Duty, but Soon Released.

Considerable excitement was caused among
the striking cigar-makers this forenoon by
the arrest of four of their pickets at Often
berg & Bros factory, Second avenue and
Twenty-second street.
Herman Gutenberg, a member of the firm.
was the complainant. The prisoners were
Carrie Meyers and Mary Haverach and two
men, and at the Yorkville Court they were
charged with conspiracy. One of the women
was also accused Of assaulting a female
worker on her way to the factory.
The arrests led to a big meeting of the
strikers at Rose Hill Hall, Second avenue,
near Twenty fourth street, and several speak
ers denounced the Ottenbergs. The pickets
who had been arrested were detailed again
for the same duty.
There Is no change In the situation to-day.

nor was u person liable to punishment when
taken in custody after opening his store to q

Obedience Composition BY Jenny FIx-
xl0tOD.

The disobedience Of parents is often
the source Of great deal Of uneasiness
to their offspring. Men who commit
the darkest crimes generally begin by
being disobedient to their children.
Disobetlient parents are often the re-
snlt Of indulgent children, who intend
it for the good OF their progenitors, but
are aware, too late. that it is not benefi-
Client. OF course parents have their
privileges, and do not relish having
them interfered with, but It is the duty
Of every csilcientious child TO see that
they do not assume too much authority.
Parents are naturally presuming. unless
they are checked up once in while.
How often do we see home where there
is no peace, no harmony, aud no loye?
The indulgent kid allows not only his
parents, but his grandparents and rela-
tives, who may be in the house, to have
their way, and follow the dictates OF their
own foolish desires The child who
fails 10 keep tight rein on the reckless
parent, il, sooner or later, sure to have
his gray hairs, If he lives long enough,
brought down in sorrow to the ceme-
terry. Parents who obey their children
are the first to obey their Heavenly
Father, What wise old adage it is
Bring mp parent in the way he should
go, and when he Is old he will not depart
from il.
Obedience and good parents make
useful men and women, when they grow

appreciative Of all men Of joke or an
absurdity after it has been knocked into
the head with club, but the club must
he very heavy. An Irishman catches
thing Of that kind on the fly, and sends
it back with something better. The
best wit has been English wit, because
it has been the conservative article
needing more or less serious reflection
before the small and genteel article Of
smile. Bnt there is no natural humor
IN the Scotch or English. There il
nothing Of that kind With them that is
not pumped and unnatural. They never

was illustrated by the best OF all broad
humor, ard an English Josh Billings

that strict sanitrtion broadly applied,
