RACINE, Wis, Jan. I8.-Racine
was crowded with sports Saturday
night who were present to see the
mill between Jim Davis, of Wausau,
and Pat Darlington, of Milwaukee,
It was intended to have the fight
at Lincoln Park, about two miles
north of the city. At I O'Clock this
morning a crowd of several hundred
gathered at the place. The ring was
pitched, the ropes stretched and the
fight was about to begin when Sheriff
Rowan and Chief of Police Anderson
appeared or the scene and told the
pugilists that the fight must not come
off. The crowd dispersed, but the
tip was given out that the contest
would take place at Kenosha. That
place was reached late in the morning
and the ring was pitched in barn
in the heart of the town. It was
evident from the start that Daring
ton was no match for Davis: In the
first round honors were evenly divid-
ed. In the second Davis closed Oar
rington's eye and caused the blood
to flow. Davis was given terrible
blow on the jaw In the third Davis
received a blow on the nose and was
knocked down. The fourth fifth and
sixth rounds were simply exhibitions
of smuggling. Ii the seventh Daring
ton was knocked down twice and
received bad punishment. In the
eight Davis rushed for his man and
knocked him down. Darlington arose
groggy and was sent to grass a
second time. Then third,a fourth, a
fifth, a sixth knock down followed.
Darlington was virtually whipped
and he then determined to win on a
foul. He deliberately crouched on
his knee and one foot and spit in
Davis face several times. This so
expasterated Davis that he rushed at
his man and smashed him on the
jaw knocking him to the floor when
he was on his knees. A foul was
claimed and allowed, and the fight
was awarded to Darlington. Davis
escaped without a scratch, but Oar

A Conductor Tells How He Receive
Plugged Coin from Those Who Ride.

A Conductor Tells How He Receives
Plugged Coin from Those Who Ride.
While coming down town recently on
a Broadway surface a a particularly
loouacious and observant conductor
gave me some curious facts conf rning
the pecuniaTv characteristics of tho
..any t-vypie with wn0m - had come
an contact. His particular enemy, a.
cording TO his remarks, appears to have
been woman, no matter what position
ia society she occupied.
They never had change, he said, and
when they did happen to have any
thing smaller than a silver dollar the
cash invariably proved to be the OBJ
noxious penny.
Women" said he, ''are the worst
passengers we have to carry. When /
ask them for their fare they will spend
fifteen minutes searching through their
purses and pockets for pennies, al
though several nickels are right at
hand
And for bad money they beat the
deck. You will hardly believe the
truth Of the statement, but nine-tenths
of the plugged quarters and lead five
cent pieces ! receive come from them.
The better clothes a woma wears,
l ind. the mor likely they are to have
mutilated coin.
Il never got even a bad penny even
from a working girl.
Several months ago there was a
young miss about seventeen years old,
always attired in the latest fashion, who
would frequently get on my a at
Thirty fourth street and ride up town
TO the park. And / never saw such a
girl for passing bad coin. Every trip
she would hand me either a plugged
quarter or half dollar. Finally l got
tired and asked her where she got itf
'Ohr she replied, as sweetly as you
please, I've got several brothers and
they give me all the bad money they
get l give it TO you because you can
pass il of ON somebody else
That took my breath away. After
that she never passed any Dor OF hel
brothers bad money on me and she
stopped riding on my car.
Il suppose she is working it of now
on some other conductor.
Working women, especially shoI
girl. never think Of pennies or baC
money. They have their fare ready
when they get on the al and hand i
over without any fuss the minute l ash
for it. They work themselves and prob
ably appreciate the fact that all bad

out of my wages at the end Of the week
The other women, l guess, dom
know that.

How ala it happenl

WHERE MONEY Was SCARCE.

Two Letters That show the Real Pow
erty In the Webster Family.
The following extracts from the let
tiers of Daniel Webster and his brother
Ezekiel will indicate how the young
men had to struggle with poverty
through their college days. The reader
viii remember that the home farm vas
mortgaged TO pay Daniels expenses
through college, and when it was pro
posed to give Ezekiel similar advan-
tages the father and mother held 3
council. The farm is already mort
gagged. said the old gentleman, ''and
if we send Ezekiel to college it will take
all we have; but the boys think they
can take care of US"
Ii did not take the strong hearted,
sagacious woman long to decide the
matter. We can trust the boys, she
said.
So the matter was settled. Daniel
went back TO Hanover, while Ezekiel
went, bundle in hand. 10 Doctor
Woods and began the study of Latin,
his expenses being but a dollar a week.
In November, 1902, Daniel was at
home in Salisbury. while Ezekiel vas
struggling with poverty at Hanover.
Funds were getting low in the Webster
homestead. Daniel writes under date
of Nov. 4.
'Now. Zeke. you will not read half
a sentence. no, not one syllable, before
you have thoroughly searched this sheet
for scrip, but my word for it, you'll
find no scrip here. We held a sanhe-
drin this morning on the subject Of
cash. Could not hit upon any way to
get you any. just before we went
away TO hang ourselves through disap-
pointment it came into our heads that
next week might do.
THE truth is father had an eXecu-
ton against Hubbard, Of North Ches-
ter, for about 500. The money was
collecting and just ready TO drop into
the hands of the creditors, when Hub
bard suddenly died. This, you see,
stays the execution till the long process
of administering is completed
Il have now by me two cents in law
full currency. Next week / shall send
them, if they be all.
I'VE are all here just in the old way,
always behind and lacking. Boys dig
ging potatoes with frozen fingers, and
girls washing without wood"
Ezekiel writes to Daniel at about the
same time. the two letters probably
crossing each other.
These cold, frosty mornings very
sensibly inform me that ! want a warm
greatcoat. l wish, Daniel. it might be
convenient to send Inc cloth for one,
. otherwise l shall be necessitated To

color it is-anything that will keep the
