lift Judge Woods coat one day and his shirt
the next and apply the lash with becoming
vigor. Then it opens the wounds inflicted and
rubs in bountiful supply of salt causing the
Judge to vince and squirm like frog on a hot
griddle. The Democrat sends up its earnest
congratulations TO this eloquent trusty and
powerful champion OF the peoples rights, and
especially OF the rights OF the democracy.
Every democrat in Indiana should encourage
and hold up the editorial hand of THE SENTI-
MEL, which does not hesitate TO perform its
duty grandly and fearlessly. We have watched
the course OF THE SENTINEL for many years,
and without disparagement we must say II
never was so ably conducted as it is at this
time. 1t is one of the best democratic papers
in the whole country. and the party in this
state owes it to itself to treas it as its merits
deserve

KNOCKED our IN SIX ROUNDS.
Ed Holske's Philadelphia Unknown, bat
Mccarthy, Badly Defe ated.


NEW YORK, April 5.-The battle for the
feather-weight championship of America, $500
a side and a purse of 5000, between Cal Nc
earthly of Jersey City and Mat Nc
Carthy, Ed Holske's Philadelphia unknown,
took place tonight at resort not
far from this city on Long island. Cal was de-
clared the winner after pummeling the Phila-
delphia mans head and face almost to a mass OF
bleeding flesh in six rounds. The men met with
their hackers at the ringsde at $50 o'clock this
afternoon and were weighed The Jersey man
weighed ia pounds, and Nat scaled at 113,
which was satisfactory to the referee. Sixty
New York and Philadelphia sporting men were
present, at the rate of S15 per ticket.
well-known New Yorker acted as
referee and stakeholder, while the UNI
pires were Ed Cole for Mat Mccarthy
and Jack MeNlasters for California. The Phila-
delphia boy has good reputation as boxer
but never had any experience as finish
fighter. He Is twenty-five years old, stands
five feet four and one-half inches tall and was
looked after by Ed Holske and Jack Frazier.
Cal Mccarthy is a wicked little punisher and
has record of never having been defeated.
This was his twenty-sixth battle. His age is
twenty-one years and he stands five feet two
inches in hight Tom Collins and Jack O'Mara
were his attendants. Both boys were in the
pink of condition, the result of four weeks of
hard training.
1t was 9:10 p. m. when they tripped into the
ring and were introduced by Holske, who said:
Gentlemen, this is Cal Mccarthy, the present
champion, and this is Mat Mccarthy, the COM
ing champion: that is my idea" The Phila-
delphia boy proved nothing more or less than
a chOpping-blOek. In the first round the bet
ting was 500 to $40 on Cal, and to show his
friends that he was all there, he scored dozen
clean left-hand jabs on his opponents jaw and
face without return.
During the second, third and fourth rounds
il looked only matter of time before the lit
tie Jerseyman would knock him out. The lat
ter was bleeding and swollen in the face and
neck and both his eyes were closing. He did
not land one good blow up TO this time, and
the betting was now ten to one against him.
The fifth round was thought to be the last,
but Holske's man proved himself to be very
game He was sent down four times in rapid
succession, and each time he barely got up
within the ten seconds.
In the sixth and last round Cal met him full
on the neck with desperate left and right
handed blow and he went down. just the
time was up he was on his feet staggering all
over the ring. The jersey man went
at him again. and would have sent
him to dreamland had not Jack Frazer held up
the sponge that his man was through, and the
referee then awarded the battle to Cal.
A large sum of money changed hands, but
the odds were not less than 215 to l against
HOlske's man at any time.

STRANGE CASE OF ALTERATION.
Young Man Disappears on His Wedding
Day to Become a Wanderer.

a 1ounE Wan disappears on his wedding
Day to Become Wanderer.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April A curious
case of mental alteration has come to light
here. About q month ago James ViccarS, a
bookkeeper in local commission house, dis
appeared utterly and inexplicably on the day
when he was to wed Hattie Ray There were
no circumstances surrounding the disappear
ance to give any clew to its motive. He was a
steady, industrious, temperate young man.
Yesterday, however, the mystery was explained
when his employer received letter from him
written at the home of his parents at Grass
Lake, Mich. In this he stated that he had only
a confused memory of the past month; that
in a state of mental alteration or perhaps hyp-
motto state he had wandered, he knew not
where. When he came 10 himself he at once
made his way to his old home, weary and worn
out. He seems unwilling to return TO his old
post for fear of ridicule, and il is supposed the
wedding so strangely interrupted will never
come off

WASHINGTON, April S.-The secretary of the
treasury has approved the bond of Mr.. Huston
as treasurer of the United States, but he will
not qualify and assume the duties of the office
until after Treasurer Hyatt is relieved of his
duties at the New York sub-treasury and
probably not until after the count of the
moneys and securities at that Office has been
completed Asst. Secy Roberts expects to
take charge of the New York sub-treasury
next Monday and the count will probably be
completed in about three weeks. The Wash
ington Office will then be transferred. The
examination of the treasury vaults will occupy
several months, owing to the immense
quantity of silver dollars TO be counted.

each division receiving orders from

were paid for committing outrageS.

A well known society man stroked
his moustache the other day and thus
held forth:
1.-The most amusing thing I ever saw
at a dance! Well, I'll tell you two, and
you can take your choice. No. was at
a small dance party given at a private
house. 1t was late in the evening, and
when the music died away after waltz
and the dancers had seated themselves
around the room, there, lying in open
sight in the center of the room, lay a
beautiful blue silk garter. My first i'm
pulse was to step forward and pick it
up and look for the owner, but [ was
afraid she would not thank me for my
trouble, so the trinklet lay where it was
until maid was actually sent with a
dustpan and brush, and the offending
article was swept from the floor while
the guests tried vainly not to see what
was going on.
''At another party the overskirt Of
one of the ladies who was dancing col
lapsed, and hung limp and formless
where it had previously swelled in tri-
umphant pride. The cause of this sud-
den metamorphosis was the loss of a
newspaper, which was found on the
floor, and when it was picked up a
hasty glance showed that the particular
journal that had been dedicated to this
purpose was the Christian at Work."
