THE PUGILIsTIC MANIA.
Printers Fight With Bare Knuckles-A
Barn-Loft Fake,

DaTu-LOIU axe
For some time past differences have ex-
listed between couple of com postors en-
ployed in one of the printing Offices origi-
mating in a discussion on religion, and
they agreed to settle the matter with bare
knuckles and under the prize ring rules.
Yesterday morning was the time fixed for
the fight to take place, and one tip was
given out that it would occur across the
river in the willow wilds of Yolo; another
was that it would come off in the ladies !"
room of a downtown saloon; another
named a roadside deadfall beyond the
north levee, and another still located the
battle-ground at Riverside resort.
While groups of sports were sneaking off
to these places to witness the mill, the
principals and their friends met in the
establishment where all hands were en-
ployed and fought to fzzle, commonly
known as draw.
The combatants are of the middle-weight
class. They fought three or four rounds,
when the referee declared the battle a
draw, although it is said to have been
a somewhat one. sided affair.

EDWARD BELLAMY's COTTAGE.

mer has scarcely been heard in the build
ing of the many pretty cottages W hich
have been erected from year to year This
place is Noyes Beach, or Noyes Point, and
is about six miles away from the wide
awake town of Westerly. 1t may be said
to have been discovered by Mrs. NJ. f.
Butts, one of our sweetest American poets
and IA native of Westerly. Scarcely above
whisper did this lady speak as she de-
scribed the grandeur of the ocean view, the
wonder of the great green breakers and
the beauty of the grass clad earth extend
ing to the very edge of the single. Noyes
Point must be kept sacred to peace and
harmony. And 20 it has been, and SO it is
now, and so may it ever be.
Noyes Point iuts into the sea- and is con-
1ected by beach with Watch Hill six miles
away, and by road seven miles. From The

is as smooth and hard as a marble floor,

When Amos Cummings Was a Printer.

Congressman Amos Cummings is an
expert in the manipulation of white pa
per with pair of shears. Some of his
friends say he can do better with the shears
than with pen, but this of itself is a joke,
and very impracticable one, for the jour
nalist statesman well maintains his reputa-
ton as one of the brilliant writers of the
American press. His aptitude for the fash
ioning of various articles out of plain white
paper is a relic of his printer days. There
was a time when Amos earned his living
by the emulation of elbow grease in the
practice of the glorious art of setting type,
and sometimes, like other members of the
craft, he tramped from place to place in
search, not of work, but of adventure.
Congressman Stivers, from interior New
York, has been a journalist for many years.
One day, he says, tramp printer appeared
in his Office and asked for IA days work.
He was given a case" The itinerant was
not scrupulously attired. His shirt had
been last hundred in Troy-and Troy he
had left three weeks before. Cuffs he had
none. At quitting time the stranger sold
his "string'-his afternoons work-for
dollar and a half After going out for a
shave he returned and asked the heated
foreman if he might have a sheet OF white
card board and "A pair of shears His re-
quest was granted, and in ten minutes,
when the foreman looked up from his
work, there stood the stranger with daz-
cling white shirt front, an immaculate
pair of cuffs and a nice clean collar. The
forlorn tramp printer had been transformed
into a handsome gentleman, who then
started out for "A dollar dinner at the best
restaurant in town.
That was my first acquaintance, says
Mr.. Stvers. with the possibilities of the
use of Bristol board in the way of rehabili
tating IA musty costume. 1t was also my
first, but am glad to say not my last,
meeting with Amos Cummings"

An Old Time Bachelors Club.

NEW HAVEN, July 2S.-Bachelors are a
pretty old institution. Whether or no the
bachelors of prehistoric times We're ac-
customed to band together for mutual con
solation-or congratulation, if you please
does not appear. but bachelors clubs
We're certainly known right here in Amer
lea in the early days of the present century.
Away back in the teens of the Nine
teenth century Connecticut boosted a
Bachelors club and there may have been
like organizations in other states. This
Yankee affair wasn't very pretentious
one to be sure, but "A good many of its
members turned out to be big men-and
all of 'em turned out husbands, by the
way. 1t was located in the backwoods Of
Tolland county, in the northeastern part
of the state, in the little town of Hebron
There were thirty members, all sturdy
young fellows, ranging from 20 to 30 years
of age. The ruling spirit was John 5.
Peters, who was the richest man in Hebron,
and who served as governor of Connecti-
cut in ls3l-32. Peters had more claims to
fame than his craftsmanship of the Bach
elors' club, his wealth and his guberna-
torial honors. He was a son of "Old Sam
Peters" the Tory clergyman. who was
forced to flee to England in l174, and
earned the undying hatred of Nutmeg
state folk by mercilessly slanderng his
fellow Yankees in his General History of
Connecticut" which he published in Eng
land. 1t was in this work of revenge that
the suggestions Blue Laws of Connect
cut" originated
Well, Peters, Jr., and his twenty-nine
fellow unfortunates of the state of single
blessedness used to meet once a week at
/ faNprn-Epnt nv a of at.ai
and drown their sorrow in lethean wa
tiers of fiery disposition and carmine hue.
There were all sorts of queer performances,
toasts, songs and what not and had Heb
ron had clock in those days it would in
variably have tolled midnight before the
meeting of the bachelors broke up. The
rules of admission were exceedingly sim
pie. A candidate must have a certain ca
pacity for imbibing liquid consolation
must be willing to put up consolation
in return for his election and must be a
bachelor. If member married he was
| ANONYMOUSLY expelled
Did 1.-THE Widow Peters," who kept the
tavern, or any other fair one chance to en-
ter the chamber in which the bachelors
met every man of em would rush TO cover
and conceal himself until she had depart
/ ed. Despite this mortal fear of the faiI
sex every man of the thirty afteward mar
| ried, and II was through this continual
draft on the membership that the Bache
lors' club finally died out
Peters Tavern" is still standing in
! Hebron, remodeled into dwelling house
though but the gay spirits who used &c
meet there are all dead and gone. Like tho

The Fad for Rings.

The fondness that women have for rings
was never more entirely displayed than
Just now The general excuse that they
like to look at them is, believe, entirely
true, and as they are only permitted two
fingers ON each hand on which TO wear
them, the third and the little finger, you
can't blame them if they pile one on top of
another with reckless profusion. All ear
rings seem to have been taken apart and
the stones put into rings or brooches.
Necklaces can only be worn in the evening.
Only the simplest bangles are permissible
in day time, but woman may load her
finger with rings and still be in perfectly
good form. \ few variety actresses tried
to introduce the fashion of wearing a
thumb ring, but it died, as it should, a
natural death. Nj.

An Incident of Ocean Travel.

No words can describe the awful same
ness of the briny deep in calm weather.
Far as the eye can see extends the UNI
varying blue green waste; every little
wave looks just like every other. One
day there rose on the northern horizon,
coming into full view in a few minutes af-
ter it was sighted, and apparently aiming
exactly at Us, large ship with every sail
set. and gliding like a great white bird
overthe sea 1t was a magnificent sight.
Nearer and nearer it came the two YES
sells on the same line seemed about to coll
Tide at their bows, and all the passengers
We're filled with curiosity and delight at so
inspiring spectacle One minute was
positive the sailing vessel would strike us
amidships: the next it passed just astern,
and every passenger yelled and waved and
yelled again, but elected no response. On
the entire deck but one man could be seen,
and he did not even turn his face toward
us that | could see. He was probably too
busy mt the rudder. In five minutes the
beautiful sailer was like great white
cliff glowing affair in the last rays of the
sun; in ten more she was hull down on the
southwestern horizon, and soon her tallest
masts disappeared as if sinking into the
sea. She was a godsend to Us. We return
ed to the smoking room with a renewed
appetite for hilarity.
