Jack McAulitfe Blows About Bot
FitzsimmOns
And Says the Australian Can't Stop Him In
Four Rounds-An Admirer of Jack
Thinks Otherwise.

Especial to THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch.l
New YORK, Feb. 25.-There is one man
among the hundreds who saw Bob Fitz-
simmons whip Jack Dempsey who does not
believe the New Zealander is anything like
the pugilistic phenomenon he is cracked up
to be. That man is Jack Nc Auliffe, and
he claims to know what he is talking about,
for he was one of Dempsey's seconds. The
lightweight champion declared to-day he
would box four rounds with F'itzsimmons
if suitable arrangements regarding the d.
vision of the purse could be made. Il
know perfectly well 1 can't whip him, ,"
said McAuliffe to a reporter tonight, ''but
he can't stop me in four rounds. l will box
him. within three weeks, for gate receipts
This man is clever | admit, but he has
few things to learn. l am willing to take
a chance at him for four rounds at any
time, the sooner the better"
One of McAuliffe's greatest admirers,
who saw the fight in New Orleans, when
spoken to regarding jack intentions, said ::
"Why, this man will knock Jacks head of.
Four rounds will not protect him. l am
surprised that Jack should entertain for a
moment any thoughts of meeting this fell
low. He can whip any lightweight in the
world, but he will bite off big hunk of
bitter cake if he tackles Fitz. 1t would be
pity to see McAuliffe sacrifice his reputa-
tation. OF course, defeat by a man of
F'itzsimmons' size would not injure him as
much as if man of his own size had
whipped him, but still it would hurt him. -

There were many perilous enter

Stuart's raid round McClellan's army
was the first. His passage through
Maryland towards Gettysburg was
another. In the west there were
raids still holder, notably Gen. Earl
VanDorn's raid in Grants rear and
capture of Holly Springs, Mississippi,
and the destruction of million dol
lars worth of Federal army supplies,
which caused Grant to retreat from
Oxford to Memphis, and saved Vicks-
burg to the Confedracy for six months
longer.
The gallant Confederate raider,
Gen. John H. Morgan, Gen. Hayes
reminds us, "went through Ohio
and Indiana with 1000 men in 1868.
It is interesting to note in passing,
therefore, that Gen. Morgan crossed
the border with less than one-6fteenth
of. Sherman's force and marched
over 700 miles in twenty-one days
through the two States, although his
path was beset with troops, and the
whole population was up in arms
against him, so that he had to fight
almost every day. Within forty
eight hours" says Losing, The Fede.

Sherman was a great General, then
what must he think of Morgan?

Nota Man killed on Either Side.

The account of the bombardment
of Fort Sumter is still remembered
by many persons, but it may not be
amiss to recall the fact probably
without precedent in the annals of
wary that not a man was killed on
either side by the bombardment. The
only casualty was the death of one
man and the injury Of. some others
by the explosion of gun in the fir
ing of a salute to the United States
flag by the garrison under Major An
derson's command on evacuating the
Fort the day after the surrender. The
firing commenced, after due notice
given by General Beauregard, on the
morning of Friday the 18th of April,
1861, Gust thirty years ago next Sun
day. and continued for about thirty
four hours, and the surrender was on
the 18th. The Fort was party de-
stroyed by shot and set on fire by
Shells The reduction of the Fort
was an act of defense on the part OF
the Confederates. to prevent it from
being reinforced with men and sup
plies by the hostile feet which was
lying off the mouth of Charleston
Harbor. The expedition was fitted
out for the relief of Sumpter, after
repeated assurances from the United
States Government that the status
would not be changed without no
tice; and no notice of their intention
to do SO was given.

In an address on "Self Culture"
in Baltimore, recently, the Rev. DR..
Tobias Schanfarber said:
awe all need that broadening OF
the intellect and training of the
the moral nature that makes man
lift himself out of the present and
into the future of brighter and
better coloring. We need that ex-
pansion and development that dis
Ftinguishes man from the animal and
makes us akin to beings of the
highest type. Man should strive to
develop his faculties and his intel
lect even as the little seed that is
planted broadens into a giant tree.
Every soul is seed aud every seed
lis capable of development. In every
soul there are germs that are pro-
phetic of better and nobler things.
Every one of us is either aiding to
build up a greater structure than
was reared in the past or we are
retarding the worlds growth.
ENERGY is the salt Oflife. 1t has
been the impending and propelling
force in the lives of all illustrionS
men. Without it the world
would be yet sleeping in darkness
and enveloped in misty clouds
These souls cared not for the trials
they endured. They were oblivious
to all but the fact that they were
put here for a purposes. put here to
grow and help others to grow. So
it should be with us now. Without
diIigent work there is little hope for
us to pluck the star of greatness
from its appointed place and make
it part ct ourselves. In youth,
when. eur powers are strong and
endurance great, is the time to COM
mence to seek culture, to widen our
intellectual range, to become con-
versant with the thoughts that are
destined to, life the world and ele-
!. waite man. That is the time TO toll,
to seek TO create every tint that
tends to brighten the world and
send out into it influences that will
last for ages.
| "To-day is the time to secure
knowledge. With the printing press,
the newspapers, the magazines, the
public schools and all tue vast re-
sources for acquiring information
aud knowledge, thete is no excuse
for ignorance or for frittering away
useful moments. One hour spent
with the men who have made our
civilization is worth more than a
dozen pat to frivolous uses. If VT
want to add little to the happiness
of the human kind we must be con-
stantIy looking forward.
ut is wrong to suppose that self
culture is opposed to other enjoy
ments and to free physical exercise.
Without health we CAN do very
| little, and the bright sun and free
air are conducive to health, and
beside very often one hour spent in
communion with nature is worth
more than week cloSeted in the
| study. But when it is all pleasure
land no study one side of our nature
only is developed, while the other is
stunted. We must educate and
control our will power so that it
! becomes strong if We desire to de-
velop, expand and unfold our full
ness. For all of these are essential
and enter into the soul of self-cal-
ture, which teaches as that life is

Having an easy time of it, is the
hardest life a man can live. Hard
ship and struggle are essential to
that development of character that
alone makes life worth living, or
that can command admiration and
regard from others. King Alfred
the Great said wisely: "No wise
man should desire a soft life, if be
careth for any worship here from
the world, or for eternal life after
this life is over" Yet how few Of
us are afraid of "soft life" for
ourselves or for our children, or are
longing for a hard one.

brother was yet republican governor
of that state.
