city, was matched this morning to fight to a fin
ish with skintight gloves for $1,000 a side and
the la2-pound championship of America Ed
Holske's unknown, of Philadelphia. Holske is
the man who brought on Matt Mccarthy from
Pennsylvania to whip Cal Mccarthy, of this city.

this city. i.
The fight will take place about the middle of
july in Philadelphia, before a club pledged to

Athletic Club over the refusal of the Trustees to

Among the athletes training at Caledonia Park
in this city yesterday morning for the Memorial

Edward Kennedy and James Ffnlay for the dis
tances; John ]. Hart, Rich Irvine, Lou .Gruber,
John Rumpf, NJ. Hines and Tommy Hood for the

John Hart, the champion half-mile runner OF
the city, has challenged George Gruber, OF the
Scottish-American Athletic Club, to run him 30
wards for q gold medal valued at $50. The men
are about evenly matched at the distance. The

There is reason in everything, but not
every reason given is true. About washing
clothes. for instance. common sense and the
chemistry of everyday life teach US that GER
tain things must be done, while others may
be left undone. Clothes must be made
clean, sweet, pure and wholesome without
either injuring the fabric or the hands of the
lsundress- If these objects can be attained,
it does not matter as to what methods are
used, and the soap or soap powder, no mat
ter what it is called, that will admit of the
most varied methods of use is the handiest
Some things, however. are important to
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tirely removed from the interstices of the
clothes and all microbes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way to do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water, by constant self-agitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses them from dirt, and disease
breeding microbes, as they can be cleansed
in no other way-and without in any man
ner injuring the fabric. As there is no
royal road to learning, neither lie there any
easier, surer or safer way of washing clothes
clean and freeing them from all disease
breeding microbes or bacteria than by using
Pyle's Pearlne. and to strictly follow the
directions accompanying each package.
Above all things, avoid any soap or soap
powder that does not work to best advantage
in hot water.--Amerieaa analyst, N. J.

about 20 cents pound for the green skins
