DIsAGREEABLE SURPRISE.
President Cowles Upon the Oppo-
sition to the Prize Fight.

President CoWles, OF the Athletic
club, had this to say last night:
1.-The eleventh-hour action of these gentle
men comes in the nature of an unpleasant
and disagreeable surprise TO US. For three
years these tistic encounters have been going
on here, and there has been no protest
against them. There have been probably
fifty of them, and all Of a more brutal nature
than this can be under the auspices of our
club. This fight was arranged for ninety
days ago. and not a word Of opposition was
heard to it, when, twenty-one days
ago, the management of it was trans
ferred to the Minnesota. Athletic club.
The officers of that club would not then have
thrown themselves in the face of public
opinion, had there been any 1nt1mat1on that
there was any general public objection to the
contest. But now, at the eleventh hour.
when the club is involved IN a sum exceed
ing 81, 900, from which there IS no possible
escape, these gentlemen ask US to stop 1t.
We can't do it, and it seems 10 me that their
action is not consistent with that fair business
dealing for which the gentlemen interested
in the effort TO stop il are generally noted.
We have expended nearly SIS 900 i'll the build
ing and the arrangements for the taking care
of the people on the night of the contest, and
have deposited $1,000 more as guarantee
that the fight will not be interfered with.
There are Incidental expenses in the sum OF
$1,000 more, so that you see we are IN for
81, 900, beside the purse, which. OF course,
we Sh0uiQ not De ODllgeQ 10 pay II the ugnL
was stopped. 1t is plain, therefore,
that we can't stop at this late day
And really l do not see' why these
gentlemen have protested against this en-
counter when it is to be very far removed
from the plane on which most of the pre-
vious fights have been conducted. Beside,
they should, it seems to me, take into con-
sideration the fact that the net proceeds OF
the fight are TO be devoted to the erection OF
q handsome public and permanent building
for athletic sports in St. Paula building
which will be a great credit to the city
through all the years TO come. That is all the

been extended him, although under
stand that he, with other distinguished

FORAKER'S MOUTH.
1t Goes Off in Regard to the Sem
atOrship.

CINCINNATI, July 2O.-Following is
an extract from letter by Gov. Foraker:
This talk about holding a conference
on the senatorship matter for the pur-
pose of citing me to appear before it, as
though it were some august tribunal
empowered to take jurisdiction
of such matters and compel
a man to explicitly define his
position, which is only another way of
saying, Get out of somebody else's
road and all that kind of stuff, is SIM
ply so much nonsense, indicating, if
there is any truth in it, that the fool
friends are again abroad in the land.
The whole business, if true, would be
simply piece of preposterous gall with
which no one would have any patience"
The Sherman-Foraker statements here
given were called out by report print
ed here yesterday that Sherman was
coming here to-day to fix matters for
securing the senat0rship for himself.

DENY THE ALLEGATIONS.
Editor Mcclure and Judge Fin
letter Discredit Bardsley.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-In testify
ing before the councils investigating
committee to-day. Col. A. K. Mcclure,
editor of the Times, who had been men
toned in Bardsley's statement, posi-
lively denied Bardsley'S charge that he
was to profit by his advocacy in his
newspaper of the sale by the city of gas
works and the South Mountain water
scheme. Mr.. Mcclure said the single
grain of truth in BardSley's reference
to him was that he did request that
Magistrate Smith be appointed as one
of the collectors of the delinquent
taxes, on which a fee is retained, his
reason being that Smith was in poor
health by reason of his suffering from
wound received during the war, ana he
wanted to help him.
An affidavit signed by Judge I. X.
Finletter, who had been mentioned IN
the Statement" as a borrower from
Bardsley, was read. Judge Finletter
denies that he ever had any personal.
political or business relation with
Bardsley except that soon after Bards-
ley's election Mark H. Davis, Bards-
ley's business manager, approached
him and volunteered TO have his (the
judge's)note discounted. He borrowed

the same manner as the discussion of

Mr.. MaXon will attempt to show that
for 3S2 years the annual gold product
has only averaged ffty-three hun
dredths of a cent per capita, and that
the Liverpool market controls the world.
He will also urge that the farmers are
getting less each year for their prod
ucts. He will also seek to show that
the increase in population for the past
ten years in the United States is smaller
in proportion than for any ten years
preceding. He argues from this that
unless there is a speedy change the
United States will be depopulated. This

ciety shall he written in German. and
that no one can be eligible to member

The grounds about most farm houses
are poorly supplied with walks. Some
times there is no way to approach the
house from the street or to go from the
house to the we'll or farm buildings, ex-
cept to travel over ground that is not
covered with turf. During q large por-
tion of the year, and especially in the
winter, it is necessary to pass through
mud or snow. AS d consequence damp
feet are among the penalties attached to
passing out of the house during unpleas-
ant weather. Of course, it is very diff
cult to keep the floors Of dwelling clean
when the occupants are obliged to walk
through mud every time they go out.
There should be good walks leading
from the street to the entrances to the
house, and to the we'll and the various
out-buildings. They not only promote
comfort but save large amount OF work
in taking care of the house. Very good
and serviceable walks may be made by
mailing plank to scantlings placed on
edge. The walks may be from two to
three feet wide, according to the width
of the planks. Walks constructed in this
manner are easily kept free from snow,
as they may be swept off as often as is
necessary The only objection to them
is the difficulty in driving across them.
This difficulty may be obviated by rails
ing the driveway for teams or by pac-
ing inclined planlls or timbers against
the sides of the walks. Good walks may
also be made of fiat stone or gravel con-
fined between pieces of timber. To pre-
vent the timbers from spreading they
should be fastened together at suitable
distances by means of cross-pieces. The
gravel should be clean and the surface
of the walk should be slightly rounded
SO as to carry off water.
