The Irish Champion kinks He Can Teach

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. s6-[Specidl Peter
Maher, the Irish champion, who has rela-
tives and friends residing in Philadelphia,
came over from New York to spend Christ
had. for they regard the handsome young
Gelway:n as something far removed from
the common herd, and pay homage to him
accordingly.
1t was in the center of a score of these ad-
mirers that reporter found Peter yester-
day morning. with whom he had the follow
ing conversation:
We'll, Peter. l see you have been matched
to box tour rounds with Jack Dempsey on
January a.
Yes, Madden te!egraphed the news to
me- replied Maher.
you'll find Dempsey a far different sort of
man from any you've met so far, in America,
mentioned the reporter.
'My friends have just been telling me about
him." said Maher, 'and can't imagine how
such small man will go up against big
fellow like me-"
He's good one though, Peter" put in
one of the bystanders.
"All right exclaimed Maher, smiling.
i've met good ones before, and I'll try and
teach him a lesson"
Take care he don't teach you one," said a
relative of the Irshman, warningly.
Its not the likes of him that can make me
lose any rest" muttered Maher, with toss
of his head. "When box a man l don't go

PHELPS HAS NO FEARS.
Confident the League Entered Into the
Agreement in Good Faith.


Agreement in Good Faith.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 26-[Speciol. IA special
received here last night states that Tom
Brown, of the Boston Association club, who
was assigned to Louisville. had signed to
play with Philadelphia, but the Louisville
management attach little Importance to the
report. 4 special received here also says
that the League is endeavoring to give the
four Association clubs the worst of it. Ex-
President Phelps said this afternoon:
The story of the Leagues alleged inten-
tion to break faith is canard. l believe
they entered into the new League with the
greatest good fpith and that they have never
had any thought of using the scheme simply
for the parpose Of breaking up the Associa-
'tion. Even IL they had such an intention,
however, they would be simply powerless.
Some Of the best lawyers in the country
have pronounced the articles of agreement
absolutely binding, and declare that there is
no way o. any clubs escaping its provisions.
Tue League clubs cannot do anything to
force anc club to drop ou., as the weakest
club III she League has the same powers and
privilege as the strongest. OF course l do
not believe the report of Tom Browns sign
ing with Philadelphia. He was assigned to
Louisville. l was one of the committee that
made the assignment, and do not see how
he can get out of playing with the Louis
vile club.

LOCAL BALL CLUB GOSSIP.
President Temple VIII Protest i gainst the
Taking Away of LYONS.

President Temple Viii Protest 4 gainst the
Taking Away of Lyons
President Temple. OF the local ball club.
states that ne will contest the decree of
the League committee, which takes from
Pittsburg Denny Lyons and assigns him to
New York. This is just what President
Temple, as a real out-ahd-out fighter for his
club, should do, but it is difficult to see how
he can make better Of it.
Several days ago It was stated, exclusively
in this paper 50 far as local papers were
concerned, what the committee in question
intended to do regarding unclaimed play
eTs. President Young stated emphatically
that all players not hargained .or ca:med
or signed by clubs on or before December 5
would be assigned by the committee The
latter were given absolute power to distrib-
ute or assign players, ana how their de-
cisiOns can be changed or ovcrruled
is something that an ordinary trick does
not explain. President Temple has written
President oung on the subject, but if an
advisory letter can change the decision of
committee there is little to be said in behalf
of that committee. Right wrong, that
commuters decision will probably have to
stand until the League, the power that made
the committee, shall make a change.
The truth i; that from beginning to end
blunders were made regard ing the signing of
Lyons. He could have been signed by the
local club weeks before the date Of Decem-
Der 5 if good executive Judgment had been
displayed, and now that it is found a mis-
take has been made, it may be useless to cry
over "spilt milk. Even il Lyons does not
come here there will still be team. and a
good one. and whether or not the Committee
on PLAYERS has made the dia0olical steal
credited to them can only ne proven when
all the facts of the case are known. At best
it is only a tempest in a teapot" noise.
But President Temple in conversation
very pointedly remarked that while strong
club like Boston requested three players and
secured them, Pittsburgs request for two
players had been cut down to one; that is a
weak team like Pittsburg's had only been
assigned one player, while three had been
asked for This is one of the matters that
the sdistribution committee" must exnlain
along with the other matter o. giving Lyons

PLAIN STATEMENT,


In Which the Truth Is Told without Fear
Do Drs. Copeland, Hall & Byers cure all
cases OF catarrh?
UnquestiOnablv, no.
This question has been frequently asked
and may well be squarely answered.
In some cases catarrh has been allowed to
proceed unchecked so far-reaching and
fatally impairing the lungs and causing con
sumption, or reaching the stomach and
causing dyspepsia and inf 11mmation of the
stomach-that medical skill is powerless.
In such cases we do not profess to invaria-
bly, effect cure.
In some cases where catarrh has not
taken such hold upon the constitution as to
prevent the possibility of a radical cure,
the patient having began treatment, may
become careless and negligent, infrequent
in his visits and forgetful as to uses of his
medicine, and VIII thus undoubtedly 1all TO
obtain a cure.
When the patient fails to come to the
office regularly for treatment for the time
he is instructed to come, or does not follow
up his treatment regularly and sytematic-
ailv, we do not profess to be able to cure.
We work no miracles and perform no
patient regular. systematic and methodical,
as well as skilful, treatment. Those who
hope 10 be relieved of this lingering insidi-
Gus disease in an hour, a day, or week need
not come to us for treatment
The fact, however, that we do cure
catarrh and often in its serious and advanced
stages when the patients follow their treat
ment regularly and faithfully, does not lack
n demonstration at this time. The crowds
that daily fill our office parlors will testify
to this. And more than that, out OF the
many who have been cured and have will
ingly offered their statements for pubuca-
ton one has been given eacn week, together
with the outline of the face and the name
and residence. These have not been OBSCURE
or unknown people from another city or
State, but have been well-known people OF
this vicinity, and their statements can be
easily verified. With all this evidence the
sufferer should no longer doubt, but, casting
skept1cism to the winds, call to see Drs.

The Labor of Digging for the Precious
Metal Ia Not Altogether Lost.
EVANSVILLE, Dec. 26.-[Speciaz. New
York and GAINESVILLE capitalists have Sc
cured options on about 1900 acres of coal
lands in the vicinity of Charlottesville.
This coal was discovered in 1S29 but was
allowed to lie untouched until it's existence
was almost forgotten. A pioneer of this
place, after whom the place was named,
sank salt we'll there. Some time after
physician from this city named Conant Sc
cured some OF the .borings, and on making
an analysis found traces of silver.
A company was organized, shafting
sunk and drift made to the well. An old
fashioned fa1seed bag plugged the hole,
and the sinking of the shaft continued. At
the depth of 125 feet vein of coal seven
feet thick was discovered, but no silver
Blasting was resorted to, which dislodged
the faxseed and the shaft was flooded.
Lately shaft was sunk again, which re-
established the fact of the existence of an
excellent vein of coal, and a company has
been formed to mine it.

A Louisville Man of Means Commits Suicide
to Join His Only Relative.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 26.-Henry
Hargrave. middle aged man of consider
able means, disappeared this morning,
leaving a note behind which indicates that
he has committed suicide on account of
grief for his mother, who died recently.
Hargrave and his mother, Mrs Quiglev,
lived alone in little cottage on Guthrie
street. They had no visitors and but few
acquaintance among the reighbors SEEM
ing to be absorbed in the affection for each
other and preferring their hermit-like ex-
istence. About two weeks ago. Mrs. Quig-
ley, who was 81 years old, died from the ef-
fects of old age. Her son was overwhelmed
with grief and repeatedly declared that he
wanted to die.
A few days ago he was attacked with
pneumonia, and friend came up to wait on
him. Yesterday afternoon, about dark,
Hargrave insisted on the watcher taking
walk. When the latter returned the bed
was empty and the sick man gone. Search

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.-An almost
incredible instance of endurance on the part
of newly-bor child was shown yesterday
afternoon by tine complete resuscitation of a
little babe after it had lain in a well for
more than eight hours with nothing around
it to protect it from the cold but an old sack
and few rags. There was but little hope
for its recovery for long time, but by care
full nursing it was brought around, and at a
late hour last night was sleeping beside its
mother in the Philadelphia Hospital as
peacefully as if its short existence in cold
and heartless world had been surrounded
with all the comforts and luxuries to be OBJ
tanned
Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon a citizen had his attention attracted by
a peculiar noise which he at first thought
was made bv kitten in distress. On max
ing an examination, he saw q suspicious
ting bundle lying in an adjoining well
He was not long in satisfying htmself tina
the sounds came from the mysteriou
bundle, and he at once notified Patrolman

succeeded in fishing up the bundle, and on
opening it found male child so nearly
frozen to death that he was barely able to
make noise. He was carried into an ad-
joining house, where willing hands went to
work to bring back life into the little body,
and after two hours of hard work they were
rewarded with success, snd the little
stranger gave unmistakable evidence that he
was ready and willing TO break his fast, and
astonished his kind friends by accepting
their proffered hospitality.
In the meantime word was sent to the
station house and officers were detailed to
search for the mother. On visiting the
house on Dickinson street, they found
Annie Harmon, % years old, who had been
boarding at the house for few davs, and
she was arrested on suspicion of being the
mother. She was taken to the station
house. She denied positively in the face of
the evidence against her that the child was
hers, but finally broke down and made
full confession to the specials
She said her home was in Lewiston,
Del, and that she had come to this city
about three months ago and had been en-
ploved as servant in different families.
She said her baby was born about Q o'clock
Thursday night, and between5 and o'clock
yesterday morning she wrapped him in an
old potato sack and tied it up with an old
apron and some rags and threw him into
