women the power to suddenly grow
taller in order to meet prevailing

time when so many tall women could

There are two theories for the
sudden excess OF tall women-one that
some mechanical process has been
discovered and is being secretly
practiced by which stout women are
drawn out into long aud slender fe
males; the other. that these women
have always existed and are row
suddenly brought forth from their
retirment by the inexorable decree of

be the more reasonable explanation.

Boxing For Boys.

There is absolutely nothing in the
way OF recreation so beneficial in every
respect to 4 boy as boxing. l am
positiye-and | know whereof | write,
for as a boy and man l have tried
them all, fencing, wrestling, rowing,
swimming, riding--that no one OF
them has the many advantages OF
boxing. As an all-round developer it
is unequaled; not one OF the boys
muscles remains inactive; back stOm-
ach, legs, arms, all are called upon for
vigorous service. But what consid-
er its best feature in its recomenda-
ton for boys is the very thorough
drilling which the disposition OF the
boy must undergo. Ii a lad is quick
to lose his temper, boxing will cure
him; it will teach him that no one
who let's his temper get the best OF
him will become an expert sparrer;
it will speedily convince him of the
absolute necessity of keeping cool
and in entire possession OF his wits in
order to sustain his efforts and avoid
defeat. The boxer who can not con-
troll his temper is practically at the
mercy OF a cool skillful opponent.
One can not spar successfully and be-
come tlustered. A boxer must ever
be on the alert, his wits constantly
alive, looking for an opportunity OF
assaults; he must be able to act in
stantly, and with cool elaboration,
as distinguished from wild, undirected

PUT THEIR HEADS TOGETHER,
Clever Scheme Of Two Stranded
Students to "Raise the Wind"

STUDENTS TO 'RaiSe the Wind"
Last Summer, during the vacation
season OF their college, two Heidel-
berg students, Benzel and Stengel,
were making lively, picturesque and
carmine-punctuated tour OF the var.
ious fashionable watering places.
The tone OF their journey had been
so continuously kept up to the high
est pitch that it had an effect like
that OF sunstroke, when Benzel one
morning, said his total available
funds were 81.
"And my exchequer is measured by
exactly the same sum-
Here was a dilemma.

Berlin, he remarked, and by the
strength OF an assurance which had
often puzzled learned professors who
knew most OF the mysteries OF exist
ence had at once made himself the
leader OF those who tlocked by them
selves as the representatives of the
moneyed class. His banter, his Jokes,
his ever-ready wit kept them in con-
tinued merriment.

So spoke a waiter, handing him an
Enclosure. Opening 1t, a shade of half
disappointment crossed his handsome
face, and excusing himself, he hurried
ly left the room.
In little while he returned, the sad
expression on his countenance, if any
thing, intensified
"My friends" he began, ''there are
ups and downs for all OF us in this
world, but anything sadder than this
| know not. An old collegemate, who
has met with undeserved misfortune,
noting my presence, sent in a message
he would like to see me. saw him
an object of the deepest compassion.
He lives in the neighborhood, the hus-
band of a widow with thirteen children.
Could anything be more umlucky:

unanimous cry.
That evening at dusk Benzel and
Stengel began their return Journey

FIRST Listener to Jenny Lind's Sing

Jenny Lind"-to use the name by
which she became famous all the
world over-was born ofpoor parents
at Stockholm in 1920, and at three
years OF age first betrayed her musical
aptitude by picking out on the keys OF
piano military fanfare which had
attracted her attention as some soldl'
srs marched along the street. The
i,rst listener to her singing was the
domestic cat, to which she sang when
she believed herself to be alone, and it
was the overhearing of this singing

Country.
Members Of the Cabinet Ex-
press Their Appreciation
Of Gen. Sherman.
En- Ideal Soldier Sharing the
Esprit du Corps Of the
Army.
In His Death the World Loses
the First Of Its Military
Men.

AsHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE presi-
dent had just finished his lunch and
was walking up stairs to his Office when
the Associated Press bulletin ANNOUNCE
ing the death of Gen. Sherman reached
the = hite house. The telegraph opera
tor handed the dispatch to Private
Secretary Halford, who fastened to in
form the president, and met him on the
stairway. The president was very much
moved at the intelligence. as he and
Gen. Sherman had been near and dear
friends for many years. The president
served under Gen. Sherman in his
famous march to the sea, and the
friendship begun at that time has been
strengthened by their close association
ever since. Gen. Sherman never
visited indianapolis while Gen. Har-
rison was there without spen ding
many hours in his society, and even
greater intimacy has existed between
them since the presidents election.
The last time they were together was
Jan. q, when Gen. Sherman called at
the White house IN company with Gen.
SchOfeld. In the words of Mr.. HaIford,
1.-THE president had the greatest love
and admiration for Gen. Sherman, and
is sorely grieved at his death" A few
minutes after reading the press bulle
tin the president received telegram
from Senator Sherman announcing his
brothers death. He therefore sent for
Grant, who is acting secretary of war,
and Maj. Gen. Schofield, and gave in
structonS for full military hOnors for
the dead soldier and made several sug-
gestions in regard to the characters of
the general orders announcing Gen.
Sherman'S death to the army. He also
prepared message to congress on the
same subject and issued the following
executive order:
1t is my painful duty to announce to
the country that Gen. William Tecum-
san Sherman died this day at 1 80 p. M,
at his residence in the city of New I ork.
The secretary of war will cause the
highest military hOnorS to be paid to the
memory of this distinguished officer.
The national nag Will be Aoated at half
mast over all public buildings until after
the burial: and the public business will
be suspended in the executive depart
ments at the city of Washington, and
in the city where the interment takes
on the day of the funeral, and i'll all
places where public expression is given
to the national sorrow, during such
hour as will enable every officer and
employees to participate therein with
their felloW-citiZenS.

Executive, Mansion, Feb. IA, 1891.
The president also sent telegram of
coincidence to the family. in which he
suggested that the body be brought to
Washington on its way to st. Louis, and
that it lie in state in the rotunda of the
capitol for at least one day.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
A Profound Student and in
Nothing an Imitator.

Nothing an LmitatOr.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE presi
dent this afternoon sent the following:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives: The death of William Te-
cumseh Sherman, which took place to-
day at his residence in the city
of New York at 80 o'clock p. M, is an
event that will bring sorrow to the
heart of every patriotic citizen. No
living American was SO loved and ven
Grated as he. To look upon his face, to
hear his name, was to have ones love
of country intensified. He served his
country, not for fame, not out of sense
of professional duty, but for love of the
flag and of the beneficcnt civil inStitu-
tionS of which it was the emblem.
He was All Ideal soldier, and shared to
the fullest the esprit du corps of the
army, but he cherished the civil insti-
buttons organized under the conStitu-
ton, and was only soldier that these
might be perpetqated i'll undiminished
usefulness and honor. He was in moth
ing an lmitator. A profound student Of
military s@ence and precedent, he
drew from them principles and sugges-
tons, and SO adapted them to novel con-
ditions that his campaigns will con-
tinue to be the profitable study of the
military profession throughout the
world. His genial nature made him
comrade to every soldier of the
great Union army. No presence
was so welcome and inspiring at
the camp fire or commandery as his.
His career was complete; his honors
were full. He had received from the
government the highest rank known to
our military establishment and from the
people unstmted gratitude and love.
No word 81 H1ine can add to his fame.
His death has followed in startling
quickness that of the admiral of
the navy, and it is a sad and
notable incident that when the depart
iment under which he served shall have
put on the usual emblems of mourning
four of the eight executive departments
will be simultaneously draped in black,
and one other has but to-day removed
the Grape from its walls.

BISMARCK, n. d., Feb. 1.-THE re-

The proposed amendment to the state
constitution passed the senate by the
required number. 16 to 10, and was
clinched with the usual reconsideration
motion. Those voting for resubmisslOn
were MesSrs. Bidlake, BrynjolfsOn,
Bjorge, Mccormack, of Grand Forks,
on the Democratic side; and Messrs.
Bisbee, Cashe, Fuller, Haggart, La
Moure, Little, Lowry, McGilliveray,
Miller, Palmer, Worst, Republicans;
and Nelson, independent. Patch,
Finger and Kinter, Democrats, and
twelve Republicans voted against re-
submission. The minority endeav0red
to postpone the vote by parliamentary
tactics, but the high license members
voted solid on every proposition, even to
overriding the decision Of the chair. The
prohibitiOnists were confident of vic
tory, even up to time OF first roll call.
They claimed two majority, but ad
united that they couldn't name their
men. The fight has been quiet but a
vigorous one, in which it is believed not
a great sum of money has been used.
While the liquor men are happy, still
they feel that it Is only half victory, as
it will be impossible to secure strength
enough to take the Objectionable feat
ures out of the present prohibitOry law,
and the vote on amending the constltu-
ton can not be had for over two years.
In the meantime the present stringent
law is likely to be enforced wherever
the sentiment is strong enough. The

working the scheme, and Jud La MOure

COUNTING ON KYLE. :
He Will Most Likely Succeed
Senator Moody.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. d., Feb. 14.-One ballot
was taken to-day, resulting in giving
Sterling sixty-four. Kyle fifty-eight,
Trip fourteen, Crosse one, with thirty
two paired. If nothing happens to mar
present arrangements it is virtual y
certain that State Senator Kyle will be
elected United States senator, not
later probably than Wednesday. This
information was received tonight from
a quarter that is reliable. Judge Trip
has released the Democratic caucus and
it was his most intimate friends among
legislators who voted for Kyle. The
latter is one who is most satisfactory to
Democrats, being in full accord with them
on the tariff question and other national
issues, and he is man who will lend
dignity and credit to South Dakota and
the United States senate. There is
nothing much to add, except that indie
pendentS and Democrats have come to
such an understanding as will see the
above conclusion verified next week.
Bartlett Trip is wholly satisfied with
the deal, and while he can still COM
mand every Democratic vote if need be,
is willing to step aside to bring the long
draWn-out senatorial contest to the best
and most satisfactory conclusion.
