San FIANcTsco, Aug. 2S.--The blow
which sent dempsey To the floor in the
thirty second round last night and
lost him the fight with LaBlanche
was "a terrific right hand swing, which
landed squarely ON the Nonpareils
nose. ''The champion OF fifty battles
fell like n shot, striking Hat on his
face, and lay there limp and bleeding.
Twice he rose to his hands and knees
but went down helpless. Then he
staggered to his feet with an effort but
had to seek the ropes and hang there.
Ten seconds pa sSed and La Blanche
paid back the old score and won the
purse OF $1,000. As soon as Demp-
sey got his senses he staggered over to
the Marines corner and asked inn
ploringly il he would give him another
fight and upon receiving assent seemed
to recover his equilibrium and shook
hands with the winner. LA aBlanche
said to friend that il was not q
chance blow, and he was not punished
badly nor distressed He said that
after his last defeat by Dempsey he
determined he would never rest until
he wiped it out, and now he was
happy.
Dempsey took his defeat sorely, but
derived consolation from the fact that
La Blanche had promised him another
fight. lie said lie had the fight in his
hands but wanted to make it q wait
ing one. lie saw the tremendous blow
coming but couldn't get away from it.
Ie supposed lie had misjudged his
adversary's condition AMI was care

Sensational Holding Up Of q Stage Coach

who held up and robbed he st age that

The stage was running along at II live
ly rate through "A dense forest when a
man jumped out and IN good old west
ern style commanded the driver and
passengers to throw up their hands.
One Of the passengers wentoiown in
his pocket, but instead OF bringing up
his pocket book he clinchsd a pistol in
his hand and began firing ut the rob-
ber. The desperate Immediately re-
turned the fire. Ii. Mackerchsr, u
bookkesper in the First National bank
of Minnsa polls, received the first bull
let i'm his cheek, while the second went
crashing through his ley. Another
passenger named A. &. Fleeschbain, OF
Bellevue, H., was mortally wounded.
He raised up in his seat Just in time to
receive "a bullet in the hip. lie fell for
ward and pitched over the side of the
coach into the roadway. The horses
continued on n run. and the wounded
man was left to take his chances with
the robber. The villain threatened at
first to kill him, but finally deslsted
after securing Sa1 and his victims
watch and chain. The wounded man
lay bleeding in the road for three hours
before any one courageous enough to
20 to his succor was secured.
Mackerchsr was taken o Eagle River
for treatment and from there to his
heme at Minneapolis. There are
doubts as to his recovery. The de-
scriptiOn of the robber tallies to a let

who went through the Northwestern
train near Ellis Junction some time

We insisted that the party favoring
our silver interests and the general de-

We insiste ed hat the party which prom

tanned our position on all these qiIes-
tlons by an overwhelming ma jority.
They gave their deliberate Judgment in
opposition to "a scheme Of tariff legi--

cans IN opposing its evil provisions.
II the Republican majority in the house
were larger the people of Montana
might IN some measure justify indiffer-
ence, but it must he remembered that
\ recent calculation indicates that one

pie to elect representative in the

Some Hints About Diphther,a.

Cats, dogs, fowls, and rabbits should
be kept out of the room, since these
frequently convey the disease There
should BE- small quantity of sulphur
burned from time to time in the sick
chamber. Everything which comes
from the child should be disinfected.
1t would be we'll also to fumigate the
apartment in which the child was first
taken sick. The child's food should
be frequently given and be of greatly
nutritious quality. The spread Of
diphtheria can be readily checked by
isolating for short time in room by
itself each child that suffers from a
sore throat during a diphtheria cpl
demic. Children during such an cpl
demic should he forbidden to indulge
in indiscriminate kissing, whether OF
adults or children. The symptoms
Of the malignant epidemic are
slight fever, slight swelling of the
glands of the throat, and sudden cx-
haustion. All these are indistinguish-
able from ordinary sore throat. Pre-
vention on the lines already laid down
gives better results than any treat
ment. The physician should be called
early in cases of sore throat in a diph-
tleritic neighborhood

It is gray felt hat, turned up ar
tistically here and there, and trimmed
with a scarf of feuille de rose silk
gauze and graceful bows of ribbon
spangled with large daisies. We're it
made of straw, it would require warm
sunshine, but made of felt it will do
for cold weather. Such hats are in
the main after the order of those worn
by the Gainsborough beauties, but
frequently the crowns, though apparent
~ high, are really quite shallow, and
are only made to look high by the
trimming. Following the caprices in
gowning, golden-brown copper, led
terra Gotta, orange and green are COM
bined with black on stylish head-gear.
Folds, tufts and aigrettes of the colo,
of the background of the bonnet fab
rio form the trimmings. The new
toques are pretty and very becoming
They are long, brimless oval crowns
in front This shape is a cross be-
tween bonnet and a round hat, and is
in high vogue just now. The halo
hat, the "Tosca," and the SPANS b
round hats worn last summer reappear
in felt and velvet.
The second picture shows two exam
pies of a favorite model of hats that,
if provided with strings, would be
called bonnets. Indeed, the distinctive
differences between hats and bonnets
merge into each other, and that is
handy, because strictly modish woman
can thus really wear hat in places
where the best usage demands bon
net. The hat at the left is in canary
yellow velvet, with black Jet bead

Rev: Charles G. Grafton, of the Church
OF the Advent, Boston, was elected as the
successor of the late Bishop Brown.
Father Grafton is a member of the Cowley
Society, is q tall, handsome man, about
go years of age, and fine speaker.
He was q Boston boy and educated at
the old Boston Latin School. He gradu-
ated from the Harvard law school, but
practiced little. When still quite young
he took up the study of theology and soon
after his ordination he became the assist
ant of DR.. Wyatt, in Baltimore, Maryland.
He was in Baltimore at the outbreak of
the war, and it was he who, with certain
charitable lady of that city, Mrs. Tyler, in
the face of popular bitterness, took the
wounded soldiers of the Sixth Massachu-
sets Regiment from the railroad depot,
where they were lying in neglect, and
carried them where he could assist in
nursing them back to health. Though he
was stanch Unionist, he never, during
those days, lost the warm affections of his
Baltimore flock. He is> regarded in Bos-
ton as a preacher of rare oratorial power,
reminding some Of the older Bostonians
at times, of Webster, and some who have
heard the preachers of Notre Dame, Paris,
of the more noted orators of the French
church. He is personally gentle and
simple i'll his ways.

a clear, cold day they are indispensable.
The continual sliding of the stones over
the ice makes slight ice dust; dust may
be blown from the land, too, and the
slightest obstruction will have its effect in
marring or helping q fine shot; for if the
skip thinks the stone is too fast he will
not allow his sweepers to use their broOms,
hoping that the minute Instructions may
retard it sufficiently to bring it to rest at
the required spot. 1t sometimes keeps
sweeper pretty busy to run ahead of the
about quickly on the ice the curriers' weas
rubbers.
THE important thing for Il curler to
learn is Just how much force is required
to propel his stone given distance. No
two stones. of course. are exactly alike in
shape or weight, and it is necessary that
the player should have a pair that are as
nearly mates as possible. Otherwise he
would be continually sending the lighter
one too far and the heavier not far
enough. After acquiring the proper
Judgment as to force, the curler must
learn how to curve The necessity for this
is seen if We suppose that an opponent has
delivered his stone SO that it rests directly
in front of the tee, but several feet away.
If the next player then throws his stone
so as to hit the first one, aiming to
knock it beyond the tee and outside
the seven foot circle, he is likely to do
no more than knock it still nearer
the tee, his own stone coming to rest
further away. Therefore, he will endeav-
or by throwing with peculiar twist,
known as either the in turn. or out
turn according to the curve desired. to
send the stone 50 that it shall curve round
that of his opponent and come to rest
between it and the tee. have often seen
stone SO skillfu1ly curved that it would
60 straight for another stone, left on
guard, as We say, when it stops on the
Straight line defined by the two tees, until
it began to lose it's impetus, when 1t would
defect to the left or right as much as hve
feet, and then curve about until it stopped
on the same straight limo on which IL SCI
ont, leaving the guard stone away IN the
rear. Skill in curving admits OF many
fine points in play, as the caroml a,e ., CT
