SAMPLE. This is
-1 the name
Of a lot Of Suits and odd
pants which are money in
the buyers pocket. Dur
ing the dull season we
have made up about rs
suits and 100 pairs of
pants from single suiting
and pantaloonings which
are the only ones left Of a
style. These goods are of
nice atterns and the only
reason we have made them
up is we have too many of
them. They are made and
trimmed equal to custom
work while the prices are
much lower. We would
call your attention to
these, as they are bargains
Of extraordinary value.
With this lot we put on
our tables a quantity of
ready-made pants for fine

who prefers ready-made
pants can be suited. The
prices are from $3.50 up.

the admission OF $40. They were all
sorts, and the chief of police said at 8
o'clock that he had not seen so many
queer strangers in the city for many
day. Before o'clock the doors on
Federal street were surrounded, and an
hour later the thoroughfare in front
was crowded. At Gas nearly every
seat was occupied, and it was estimated
$4,000 had been paid for tickets. A
good many well known New York and
Boston sports were present.
Mccarthy the Favorite.
Dixon entered the ring at 1910, and
received q great big cheer. Tom
ORourke. Nj. j. Slattery, of Provi-
dence, and Howie Hodgkins were with
him. Mccarthy entered the ring five
minutes later, and the waiting crowd
yelled Mccarthy, Mccarthy" for half
a minute. 1t was easy to see the white
boy was the favorite in the hearts of
the spectators. With the Jerseyman
were Jack McAuliffe, the light weight
champion of the world; Billy Madden
and Tom Collins, Of Jersey City.
The fight was a determined strug.
gle throughout, but Dixon seemed to
have the best OF it from the start. Nc
ShIbnJl WHiic appearing III nue COnut-
ton, was no match for his wiry antag-
onist in countering. The blows fell
thick and fast, both men fighting for all
they were worth, each appearing to be
determined that he was the better man.
In the twentieth and twenty. first
rounds Dixon did strong work. He
was little tired himself, out from his
own punching. He showed no mark of
punishment except slight dlscoloration
about the eyes.
In the twentyfirst round he made a
punching bag out of Mccarthy, who had
become really pitiaple object. He
could scarcely stand on his legs. Dixon
gave him a crack on the Jaw that
knocked him staggering into his corner.
just then the gong sounded and Nc
Carthy was saved for another round.
No less than seven times was Cal Nc
Carthy, limp and strengthless, knocked
down In the twenty second round. Each
time he struggled heroically to his feet
within the ten second limit except the
seventh time, when he was still on the
floor in his own corner at the sound of
the gong for the end OF the round. Nc
Carthy's seconds decided that he was
unable to go ont for the twenty-third
round, and they were right, SO the ref
cree gave the decision to Dixon.

The indictment is of seven counts,
and charges the defendant with main
tanning and operating the railroad in
the state against the form of the stat
ute made and provided. The first count
is the one upon which the defendants
will be placed on trial. This count
charges the defendants with heating
the passenger and other cars on the
road with stoves, without making any
provision for the safety of the passen.
gers. The count goes on to say that
under the law the heat should be fur
nished by steam, hot water or hot air
Z The style of heating apparatus is
claimed to be unlawful, although the
method is alluded to as being regular.
The other counts refer to the facts
that the New York, New Haven and
Hartford operates twenty-six miles of
its line in this state, ten miles of which
are maintained within the city limits.
But little reference is made to the tun-
mel accident other than to fix the date
as Feb. 90 when the indictment charges
the defendants were in control of the
road.

The Possible Punishment.

The punishment under the law, con-
sequent upon conviction, is 81 fine, min
imun, AMI $500 fine and one year in
prison as the maximum penalty.
1t is stated in legal circles that the
Indictment found will not stand care
full legal scrutiny, inasmuch as it is
claimed that under the laws of the
state the officers of the road are not
amenable, in view of the fact that fifty
miles of the road with which they are
connected are not operated in the state.
After the indictment was carefully
pigeon holed by Assistant District At.
torney Lindsay the district attorney
stated that the defendants would be
notified of the action of the grand jury
and requested to present themselves at
his office and arrange for bail.
The persons named in the indictment
appeared at the district attorneys office
this forenoon and gave bail for their
appearance when wanted.

matte relations between the United

it is asserted in diplomatic circles, are

the routine business between governs
ments is conducted by the attaches of

IMPROVING FLocKs OF SHEEP.

FLOChS Oc oo6cTs
Though the price of wool is extremely
low it is so necessary a product that if
properly managed it mayalways be made
profitable. Due regard must be had in
this to the improvement of focks as we'll
as to the increase of weight and value of
the fleece. A farmer who grades up his
flock either for mutton or wool adds so
much to its salable value that this alone
makes a profit, though the wool crop
NAV not much more than pay expenses.
Continuing the same policy of flock i'm
provement, the wool grower finds after a
while that he can sell his wool at greater
profit. By this time he will probably
begin to breed some thoroughbreds. In
a few years the grades will be discarded
as not sufficiently profitable in compari
son. The flock of scrubs is thus replaced
with one Of pure blood with compare
lively little expense except the first cost
of a ram and one or two thoroughbred
ewes with which to start the business.
This is the way that most of the success
full breeders began business. Few of
them had much money at first. They
have grown rich by beginning in a small
way, constantly improving their focks
until they are worth many thousand dol
lars. All the way up their sheep have
increased in proftableness, and what they
have done is possible to all who will give
equal attention and care to the business
of flock improvement.-Bost Cultioa-

ROOTED B~ARNYARDs.

tits, in my opinion, writes Doctor G..
C. Caldwell, a successful way of making
manure, to make it in a covered yard;
good manure can be made without ques.
ton by heaping in open space and fork
ing over occasionally, but with less care
a better product is likely to be the aver
age result when made under cover;
whether enough better to pay the cost
of the shelter is perhaps an open ques-
ton; if the shelter were only for the
manure the balance might be struck
against it; and if no coarse stuff goes
into the manure pile (t is singular ad-
vice of one writer that it should mott the
balance would certainly be against it.
But the cattle may enjoy this shelter and
profit by it, since it gives to them a
larger freedom to move about without
exposure to storms or cold; and with
the aid of their tramping a very con-
siderable addition may be made to the
value of the manure of the yard by work.
ing into the excrements the straw or
other coarse stuff which, under con-
ditions that may often prevail, cannot be
pro6tably fed; there must, of course, be
so much of such material that the anil
mails will not be injured by too much
wetness under foot. This coarse stuff
put directly on the land is worth very
little for fertilizing; when more or less
decomposed in a well. airei mixture with
animal excrements it is worth much
more.-Nep York Tribune.

PLANTAIN.

The most efficient wholesale treatment
of plantain is choking it down with
dense crops of clover, or destroying it by
cultivated crops, but this course cannot
be used on large lawns. On email lawns
or with a few plants each plant may be
killed with a drop or two Of sulphuric
acid dropped with a rod on the crown
of each plant, but care must be taken
nos to walk ON the lawn till rain occurs,
or the acid will cut the shoes. Without
killing the plants, it may be kept from
increasing by close lawn-mowing, sew
eral times in the season, or as often as it
quickly throws up its seed spikes and
before the seed can form. Both species
of plautain are %perennials, the broad
leaved one being more common along
foot-walks, and the narrow-leaved more
frequently found in meadows and lawns.
Both are foreigners. The seeds of the
rarrow-leaved are about the size of clo-
yer seed and become very readily mixed
with it, and foul clover-seed thus spreads
the weed.-Country Gentleman.

BAD HANDLING OF HORSES.

Most, if not all of the tricks and vices
of horses are either caused or aggravated
by bad handling at some period in the
lives of the animals which have them.
Probably the greater part of the mischief
is done when the animals are young,
though old horses have been spoiled by
carelessness, or by injudicious action, on
the part of their drivers or keepers.
Tht trick of pulling back when tied is
elmost always learned through some
neglect or want of care on the part OF
the persons having charge of the horse.
The colt hat is tied with a small
or a weak rope, may, if a little fright.
ened, break away from It's fastening.
When it has once learned this way of
getting loose, it is not particular about
the time or place in which to show its
knowledge and skill. A stronger rope
may be put on, but the chances are that
it will 60 the same way the weaker ones
went. The horse gives stronger pulls as
the strength of the rope is increased, and
when large ropes are used he is liable tc
do himself serious injury. Care should
be taken not to scare a horse so that he
will give a strong pull Upon his halter or
bride but from the first time he is tied
as a colt till the last time he is ever tied
as an old horse, the hitch should be 81
strong that if he does pull he will no
break away. Prevention of a bad habit
is cheaper and better than attempts tc
overcome it after it has been formed
