jackson Wins.

Monday night Peter Jackson, the Col
ored Australian pugilist, added few
new leaves to his already abundant
]aurels, and without utterly routing a
worthy foeman, proved his title clear to
place in the limited pugilistic constel-
lation in which John L. Sullivan is the
chief shining star. After one of the best
contested glove combats ever seen in
Chicago, he was declared the victor over
Ed Smith, the Denver terror, who stood
in the face of great odds before the
brawny Jackson in five hot rounds of
three minutes each, being repeatedly
sent to the floor by the cyclonic strokes
of his opponent. Smith likewise &C.
quired laurels and renown, but with bis
hacker and William Muldoon is ready
to acknowledge that Jackson outlasted
him. He lost none of the confluence OF
his hackers, who, Immediately after
Jackson had been awarded the .honors,
offered to match Smith for finish fight

barring Sullivan, Jackson, and Joe Nc
Aulife. When Referee Paddy Carroll
gave his decision there was some disap-
pointment, as Smith had stayed the
five required rounds, and when final
time was called appeared as fresh and
as strong as his conqueror. But the de-
cision was made on the great defeats
Smith had fallen under in the first two
rounds, and on Jackson's evident super
iorty in the remaining rounds, in which
Smith did some work, but more clinch.

No organizations in the United States

OUR CENSUo OF MANUFACTURES.

OUR CENSU OF MANUFACTURES.
On the I'd day of June the work Of
collecting statistics of manufactures for
the report of the Eleventh Census will
be inaugurated throughout the entire
country. The value Of this report must
depend wholly upon the accuracy and
thoroughness with which manufacturers
answer the questions propounded.
The personal interests of every manu-
facturer are involved in the character Of
the report on Manufactures. It will be
quoted for the next ten years as the
official announcement Of. the exact in
dustrial condition of the country, and
will be the basis for any future leg1sla-
ton that may be enacted in regard to
the wants Of our people, whether en-
gagged in agricultural or mechanical pur-
suits. Therefore it is of vitalimportance
to each manufacturer that an accurate
report shall be made.
The Superintendent Of Census has
taken every possible precau' ion in the
preliminary work to make this census
complete and satisfactory, and the earn
est cooperation of those engaged in
productive industry is all that is now
necessary to secure valuable results.
Every manufacturer SHOULD bear in
mind that his answers to the questions
relating to his business are held strictly
confidential, are not disclosed to any
competitor or to other persons, and are
not used by the government as predicate
for the purposes of taxation or license,
or in any way to adversely affected his
individual business. This assurance is
printed on each schedule over the sigma
ture of the Superintendent of Census.
The expert Special Agent in charge
of this branch of census work, Mr.. Frank
R. Williams, has personally visited the
principal manufacturing centers and
consulted representative manufacturers,
the publishers of trade journals, and
practical business men generally, for the
purpose of ascertaining the proper scope
of the inquiry for each branch of manu-
facture. The questions contained in
the census schedules are those sueeested
by the manufacturers and other persons
most interested in the progress of the.
country, and cover ground absolutely
essential to the proper presentation Of
it's Industrial conditions and resources.

writes very peculiar and strange case
of blood poison cameunder my attention.
a short time ago. A gentleman come
here from Athens, Gau where he had
been bitten on the hand by vicious
mule that he was breaking to work The
hand was in a horrible condition, and
the Inflammation was rapidly extending
through his entire system Every
knuckle on his hand was an ulcer that
was deep and sloughing. He stated to
me that he had consulted several physi-
clans, and taken their medicines without
deriving any benefit. / gave him a
course Of Swift's Specific (S.SS.), and in
a few days he reported to me marked
improvement, and in one week from the
time he commenced taking s. s. s. the
hand was healed up and the poison en-
tirely eradicated from his system. It is
my opinion that he would have lost his
life had it not been for the health giving
properties contained in Hwift's Specific.
He frankly admits himself that S.S.S.
