HOW Carl schu1z Learned English

Few foreigners-indeed few English
or Americans-speak and write the Eng
lish language with the grace and purity
of Carl Schurz, and he explains tho fact
as follows:
when first came to America found
that knew as little practical English as
the Yale or Harvard student who has
read Faust and 'Piccolomini' knows Of
German. went to bookstore and
asked for the classic of the English Ian
guage. The Vicar of Wakefield was
given me. made careful translation
of the work into German, laid it aside
for six weeks. retranslated it into Eng
lish, critically compared the two versions,
and knew the English language

Courtesy in Politics.

Governor Hill is introducing new
and pleasant feature into the science OF
politics, and that is the use OF extreme
courtesy to political opponents. He did
not hesitate to present Fred Grant with
words of warm respect for his fathers
memory when young Grant was at the
head of the Republican ticket in this
state. Recently he paid high
tribute to the speeches made by Pres
ident Harrison ON his tour, and
now, hearing that the president was to
pass through Albany, he has arranged
to receive him, in behalf of the state,
with all the honors due his position,
and gives him personal invitation In
the most pleasant terms, which the
president accepts in like cordial spirit.
All this may be part OF Governor Hills
method of playing what he calls the
game of politics, but, whatever the mo-
tive, it is an excellent method and will
do a great deal OF good. 1t is playing
the game like gentleman, and
not like low-bred bully, as
is so often practised. 1t is
lesson that Americans of all parties
need to be taught, that courtesy is
of itself the best politics, and Governor
Hill, master of the science, can do no
more than anyone else in impressing the
lesson. 1t is, besides, the keenest OF re-
Dukes to that element in politics which
arrogates to itself all the culture and
wisdom which speaks for the scholar in
politics, and which at the same time
uses the most brutal methods, assails
private character the most shamefully
and seeks to belittle opponents, thatthis
strict partisan, this machine politician,
should show what real decency in poll
tics consists of. 1t is an act which a
Mugwump would be incapable DIVA

silkwood VS.. Rupee.

1t is reported that Rupee will not
come to Los Angeles. Silkwood has
probably something to do with this.
The northern horsemen are not specially
anxious to pace against Mr.. Willett's
great stallion. Many Los Angeles
horsemen think that Silkwood in good
form can defeat any PAGER now on the
circuit in California. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr. Willett will be on hand when
the bell taps for the Los Angeles meet
ing. The old veteran and Silkwood will
receive great ovation when they ap-
pear for the 2:15 pacing race.

The Local Pugilists to Battle Tonight
at the Pastime Club.
This evening Joe Soto and Gus Her
gift meet in the roped arena of the
Pastime club. Both men are reported
to be in good condition, and it is ex-
pected that there will not be more than
four pounds difference in the weight.
Hergitt is a brother of Young Mitchell,
the middleweight champion of the west
He is an admirable boxer, being quick,
skillful and clever at avoiding punish
ment. How he will pan out in a finish
fight remains to be seen.
Soto is good man in his class. He is
very shifty, and can stand punishment.
Soto has won many fight by his cum
ming and generalship.
The great point is as to whether Her
gift is an effective hitter. There is no
doubt that he will land often, even on
such a clever man as Soto, but unless
there is plenty of steam to the blows
the contest will resolve itself into one of
endurance, when the best conditioned
man will come out ahead. Hergitt's
boxing capability is well known, but
how he will shape in finish fight is an
other proposition. Soto is an old cam
paigner, and will not lose his head. The
fight, if both men are out for the stuff,
should be well worth seeing.

A YOUNG GIANT.
All invited to be Present at the
First Anniversary
OF THE BIRTH OF THE BOY.
Col. HoIie and the Paclsery People Ready
to Entertain the Invited Guests,
Who viii be Eere in Numbers.
Hours to Call

The packery viii be one year old to-mor-
row, and in celebration of the anniversary,
Col John Il. Hoxie and the gentlemen who
with him have made this enterise such a
grand success, have arranged
barbecue which is open to
the people Of Texas. Numbers
of well-known farmers, cattlemen and mer-
chants from all parts Of the state will be
here Among the distinguished guests will
be Hon. Horace Chiffon, United States SEN
ator, and he will probably address the
multitude on the affairs of the
day Senator Chiffon is an eloquent man,
and to hear him will alone be worth the
trip. In conversation yesterday Col Hoxie
said all Fort Worth had public and general
invitation to be at the barbecue, that the
festivities would begin at 1880 a. m. and last
until + o'clock in the afternoon. Bad
weather. he says, will not interfere with
the ARRANGEMENTS. The exchange building
will hold several thousand people and the
immense galleries several thousand
more. Beeves, muttons and .porkers
are ready for the barbecue pits and
will be done to turn when the clock on
the ancient building on the square strikes
the hour of 10.
Col Hoxie and every one connected with
the pacllery feel that to be proud of what
has been accomplished is virtue.
Twelve mouths ago the machinery
of the then incomplete packery was
set in motion and the dying hog that was
first slaughtered in this temple dedicated to
the daily necessities of man,
sang sweetly of Fort Worth's enter
prise and her future glory.
Since then the hog choir has received
thousands OF additions, and all
sing the same song. Those who
attend the festivities tomorrow
and see what has been done in twelve
months will agree with TIE GAZETTE that
the packery is big thing. All Fort
Worth should be there.

Featherweight Championship.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 19.-Before the
Olympic club tonight James Z. Larkin of
Jersey City and John Z. Griffin of Brain
tree, Mass, contested for the featherwei9ht
championship and a purse of S250e..
Professor John Duffy officiated as
acted as master of ceremonies.
The principals were weighed in this evening
at 3 O'Clock according to the articles of
agreement. Griffin weighed under 122
pounds. and Larkin an ounce or two more.
Larkins' trainer, McMurray, wagered $3.50
with Jimmy Carroll on the result.
Time was called at precisely 8
o'clock. Larkin was seconded by
John McNIurray and John Glenn, and
Jimmy Carroll and Professor Robinson
seconded Griffin. Fighting commenced at
0 O'Clock and was aot from the start. Griffin
assumed the aggressive, while Larkin led
for his head, rarely missing. Griffin
seemed strong and eager, Larkin
pale and on the alert. In the second
round Griffin assumed the aggressive i'm
mediately on the call of time. In the next
fell from exhaustion. He got up on the
count of four, but seemed weak and beaten.
In another clinch, which followed, he
fell in the break away half out
of the ring. By cute ring maneuvers he
evaded the loss Of the battle in this round
by going on the defense and running away.
Griffin would not be denied, and landed
his left bad with single return. 1t
was plain that Larkin was a beaten man.
The terrific body furnishing OF the Brain
tree boy had done its work.
The fourth round commenced by
heavy fighting from Griffin, Larkin
being too weak to stop his heavy left
swings on the stomach. He was knocked
down twice in this round, and the last time
failed to regain his feet in the allotted ten
seconds
