Charley Mccarthy and HI. Gum.

Charley Mccarthy, the bantam,
weight champion Of America. is d
philosopher as well as a fighter. AS
rule, he fights with big lump of
chewing gum in his mouth, and this
practice has caused u good deal Of fun
To be poked at him by fellows who
think they know it all. The other
night he told his reason for this habit.
Ho said:
II generally put double dose of
gum in my mouth when ! begin TO
prepare for the ring. and by the time
I am called on to fight have it pretty
well masticated. When in action l
keep my eyes fixed ON my opponent,
and if see that he is about to land,
say on my left jaw, quickly work
the gum between my teeth and that
side Of my face. and il forms cushion
that serves to greatly break the force
of the blow. I have got u be SO ex.
pert in shifting the gum from one
jowl To the other that half the blows
get on either side of my face are
robbed Of most of their persuasive
force. Buffalo News

Tho Naval Attache.

A naval attache is one Of the most
interesting persons you can meet.
His business is apparently TO survey
the scene Of human activities in q
broad and noble spirit. taking a large
and disinterested view of the progress
Of civilization. He shines in the par
Tor and bubbles over ut the banquet.
He is the most candid. open hearted
and childlike man in every company.
Men and women envy him. He never
seems To be burdened with wOrk-an
elegant, charming idler sent among
foreigners out Of pure good nature.
AS matter of fact naval attache
is the eyes and ears of the military
branch of the government. His mid
nights are spent i'm writing down the
processes Of foreign nations. No de.
tail is too small To escape his watchful
mind if il be new and vital. He never
must forget, even for moment, that
he is moving among the possible future
enemies of his country. New York

Thereupon the court discharged Mrs. Raw
son from custody, and after thanking the
jury individually, she passed from the room
accompanied by her counsel and friends.
Lawson Whitney is now in an insane asy-
lum, to which place he was sent by a lunacy
commission. His insanity was the result of
the attack on him by Mrs. Rawson.
The attack on and shooting of Major Whit
ney was the second attempt at murder which
this case resulted in. Some time previous TO
this assault Mrs. Rawsons son, n youth of
less than 20 years, walked up behind his step
father, Banker Rawson, Just rs he was leav-
ing church one Sunday, and shot him SO
severely that it was hardly expected that he
would recover. The young man was tried
and given less than two years in the county
Jail. Tho cause Of these deadly assaults was
the same in each case-the attempt of Raw
son and Whitney to obtain evidence of Mrs.
Rawson's alleged unchastity.
