Sullivan and Corbett rested during the
day, doing little work. Corbett was to
have gone to the Southern Athletic club,
but concluded to stay in the house all day,
thereby disappointing large crowd who
wanted to do him honor. Sullivan went
to the Sportsmen's Gymnastics club, where
he took a light exercise. and then went to
his hotel and stayed until he went to the
Olympic club. Many bets were made dur
ing the day, the odds being from two to
three to one on Sullivan.
A Too Certain Investor.
Sullivan's hackers were very confident.
One man went to the platform where
pools were sold and asked "How long do
you keep open tonight" He said his
train left at 1870 and he had five tickets
on Sullivan and wanted to collect them
before the train left. The fight would
not last long, he said. The ticket seller
intimated that he was mistaken and so
he was, for he got left both as to train and
money.
The Color Line Again.

manager of the club refused to permit to

went to President Noel and said quietly
that Vance must be allowed to remain.
Vance remained-and thus the color line
was broken for once.
Preparing for the Fray

noon and Corbett won, choosing the
slucky" corner-she one chosen by Mo
Auliffe and Dixon. At $40 the houss
was packed. The gloves were weighed
and found all right. 1t was announced
that Billy Delaney and Prof John Don

Microbes from Old Graves.

1t is asserted that the efforts to abolish
infectious diseases, such as scarlet fever
and diphtheria, are frustrated by the
burial of infected bodies, for though the
microbes themselves may die their
spores, or seeds, have very great vitality
Pasteur's researches have proved that
earthworms bring up to the surface
microbes from the bodies of infected
animals buried several feet deep. OAR
win showed in one case that in fifteen
years they had accumulated worm mold
over three inches in depth, and in an
other case during eighty years had ac-
cumulated an average depth of more
than foot. -
In a field in the Jura, where diseased
cow had been buried at depth of nearly
seven feet, Pasteur found that the mold
which he collected two years later con-
tanned germs which on being inoculated
into guinea pig produced death fro n
the same disorder of which the cow died.
Ina Yorkshire village part of disused
graveyard was taken into the rectory gar
den adjoining. On the earth being dug
over scarlet fever broke out in the rec
tory nursery and thence spread over the
village. 1t proved to be of the same
type as that from which, thirty years
before, the victims died who were buried
in that particular part of the churchyard

IN his recent speech at North Fair
field, Ohio, Senator Sherman called
attention to matter that is worthy
of careful consideration. 1t is this.
BY raising the revenue for the support
Of the government entirely upon arti-
Giles that compete with what we pro-
duce, thereby causing a competition
which gives them to US at the lowest
possible price, we also get those arti-
cles which we cannot produce cheaper
than free trade England, because we
admit them free, while England raises
her revenue upon them. The McKin-
ley law enlarged the free list so that
now 50 per cent of our imports come
in free, and the average duties on
what we import instead of being from
so to 60 per cent as the free traders
claim, is only about 20 per cent. The
advantages which the people reap
from the Mckinley law are twofold.

To Dis we Bones.

Although bOno can be reduced to

Harrison on the Battlefield.

1t was almost the middle of May,
1864, before Colonel Harrison had an
opportunity to participate in one of
those great battles which have become
historic. Resaca was the field upon
which he made for himself reputation
for GOODNESS and personal valor which
none can assail He led ON foot the
charge of his brigade upon a formidable
redoubt. Away in advance of the five
regiments he ran across the valley
which to so many was the valley of
death, and still in the lead he climbed
the hill on which scores fell to rise no
more.
Colonel Harrison was among the first
to cross the parapet. 1t has been said
he was the very first. A hand to hand
combat ensued, the gunners defending
themselves with their hammers and the
assailants attacking with their dubbed
muskets; officers exchanged pistol shots.
1t was in fact one of the rare instances
of a genuine bayonet charge without
shot fired except by the defenders of the
redoubt. The air rang with victorious
cheers, and for awhile the inclosure was
a scene of frantic joy. The colors had
all been borne inside, and to both friend
and enemy in the distance they an
nounced that the height was gained

THE Democrats do a great deal of
bowling about the force bill bugaboo
and declare it is Republican scheme
to control the federal elections. And
yet the very means of force which the
Democrats declare their opponents
seek to employ in a legal manner,
they are now asserting throughout
the south in an individual manner as
to force, and under the semblance of
law as regards the counting of ballots.
There has been. a feeling abroad
through the north ever since Henry
Grady preached of the new south,
that time and education were doing
all that could be done, and had already
accomplished much. But the recent
rotten egg incident in Georgia. and
the refusal Of the members of the
oligarchy to allow Gen. Weaver to
continue his meetings, shows the
intOlerant spirit that is still mani
tested, and that the spirit of Grady's
New South" is, to large extent,
sleeping with him. Still it must be
admitted that the spirit of tolerance
is slowly creeping southwark and that
along the borders there is more in
diligence and recognition of the rights
of others than was the case a few
wears 400.

A POWER FOR GOOD.

In about two weeks will occur in
Chicago most notable event, that OF
the dedication of the great Columbian
Exposition. While the real opening
will of necessity be postponed for some
six months, this formal dedication
will mark the great event in history.
What will be the effect of this great
gathering, not only upon this country
but upon the world? 1t is not proba-
BILE that the masses have yet stopped
to consider this point, and in fact the
ordinary person, who has given the
matter but little more than a pass
ing thought would be unable to give
an ineligible idea.
Upon the commercial and indus
trial interests of the United States,
and the world, it will have a most
important effect, and cannot help
but stimulate them to the accom-
plishment of greater results, as it will
give them chance to study each
others peculiarities more closely and
benefit therefrom. In view of the
fact that we are opening up market
for American products in the markets
south of US, under the reciprocity
treaties, it will afford our manufact-
urers a splendid opportunity to study
to a certain extent the wants and
needs of the people there, and the
manner in which they desire the ar
ticles they buy of US, put uI, and de-
livered.
But important as is the industrial
object to be attained by such a gath
ering, there is higher object in view.
And that is the effect the Exposition
will have upon the people of the
world. II results are not worked out
that will improve the world socially,
morally and otherwise, then indeed
the Columbian Exposition will be a
failure. But if such results are not
accomplished, then it will be the first
great gathering of the kind in the
worlds history, where such has not
been the case. 1t is essentially a
school in the arts of peace. 1t is re-
production of the world upon small
scale. Here the nations of the earth
will meet, and as they jostle with one
another the cold formalities, and
cruel and despotic tendencies that
have caused the path of the ages to be
stained with human blood, will soften
and the value of universal peace will
become more thoroughly impressed
upon them. Not less important upon
the future history of'the world than
the discovery of Columbus, will the
great gathering which will common
morate that event, for it will bring
the nations more closely together and
teach them that there is more to life
than mere warfare, and that while
commercial affairs are of great impor-
lance they do not constitute all that
is to be desired in life. From the
many congresses that will meet on
that occasion to discuss questions in
religion, science, art and literature,
there must go out an influence that
cannot help but lift the world up to
a higher level and mark new era in
the life of man.

POWDERLY DENOUNCES FREE
TRADE.

To bolster up their falling cause
and if possible attract the votes of a
few laboring men to their ticket, the
Democrats have for several weeks
back been circulating the report
abroad that Master Workman Pow
DERBY had come out for free trade, and
to give their statement flavor of
truth they have garbled one of Mr..
Powderly's articles in the North Ameri-
can Rerieao. In commenting upon this
action of the national Democratic
committee, Mr.. Powderly recently
said:
The only reason why the national
committee makes use of my words is
to catch the votes of wOrkingmen who
let their thinking out to others to do,
and who, it is supposed, would be in
1uenced more by what l would say
than by what they would know them
selves, and, if the solemn sense of
duty still actuateS Mr.. Cleveland, he
does not want such votes. A party
which seeks to obscure it's villianous
declaration in favor of wildcat banks
behind whirl- wind-duSt kind of a
tariff discussion must be in sore straits.
But this is simply mild patting of
the cheek to the severe scorching he
administers to thatparty for the claim
it puts, forth of being the poor mans
friend He says:
The Democratic party has the su-
preme gall to assume, with an air of
patronizing ownership, the privilege
of debating just how workingmen
should vote. 1t claims to be the
party of the poor man. 1 grant that
it ought to be, for the poor have given
it the strength to live long enough
to see the principal actors on
its boards squirm and shift with every
wind to catch the votes of poor men.
Yes, the Democratic party is the par
ty of the poor man, and if he contin-
ues to vote that ticket he will never
be anything else than poor man.
These words of Mr.. Powderly's will
cause the workingmen of the country
to do good deal of thinking, and they
bode no good to the party of British
free trade and a wildcat cnrrency.,e
