Prize Fight.

Aprize fight took place about two
O'Clock Sunday morning in PENIS
barn, near Georgetown between
Tom Ward, of Cincinnati, who has
been making his home in this city
for year past, and Otis Hester, of
Covington. The mill was arranged
by some sports in this city, who put
up a purse of two hundred dollars
one hundred and fifty dollars to the
winner and fifty dollars to the loser
in order to induce the two men to
hammer each other up.
The party left this city about ten
o'clock Saturday night, and it is said
every vehicle in the livery stables
here were brought into requisition
to convey them to the scene of the
fight. Twenty-one rounds are said to
have been fought and Ward was de-
clared the winner, though both m IN
were badly used up. Skin-tight gloves
were used, and the fight was according
to the Marquise of Queensbury rules.
Ward returned here after the fight,
but has been keeping himself very
shady since, and it is said has disap-
peared entirely.
1t is remarkable how so many peo-
pie know all the particulars of the
fight, and yet at the same time
everyone of them claim to have been
in the city when the fight is said to
have taken place.
Hester, the fellow who got licked,
made vigorous kick when he got
home, as is shown by the following
from the Covington Common
wealth:
Ottie Hester and his trainer both
are loud and bitter in their COM
plants at the alleged sports who were
at the scientific contest between
Hester and Ward at Georgetown.
Hester, the Covington boy, had
Ward licked after the first round,
when those who had put up a few
dollars, pulled and poked their revolt
vers in the little Covington lads face,
and threatened to let out his lights if
he did not give in and let Ward win.
The two boys had gone there ex-
pecting to meet gentlemen, but run
into gang that would not stand
comparison with Bucktown rowdies
or Millcreek toughs. Hester can
knock the life out of Ward, and the
Occidental Club of this city will put
up $500 to that effect, but the fight
must take place among sports and not
sharks.

A Dogs PARTIALITIES.
He Only Used His Teeth on Preachers and
SQures.

Ex-Assem blyman Henry G. Herring, of
Hillsdale, n j., was bitten in the leg a
short time ago by Wesuwood dog that had
the reputation of being one OF the most dis
eliminating dogs in New Jersey. The dog
was black mongrel, and was owned by
Jesse Runisey, clerk in Van Emsburgh &
Bogert's grocery store. Ever since the
dog was taken to Westwood it has shown
an aversion to ministers and justices. The
only resident pastor in the village is Rev.
David Talmage, nephew of Rev. T. De
Witt Talmage, of Brooklyn.
Dominic Talmage,' as he is called by his
parishioners, was aware of the dogs dis
ike for him, and tried to avoid the animal.
In spite of all his efforts the dog had torn
mis- clerical trousers twice. EX-Assembly-
man Herring is also justice of the peace.

ing feet. The tall justice stood in front of
! q nigh board fence the other afternoon. Ii
was built to hold real estate advertise
ment. He was so much interested in the
sign that he did not notice the approach of
! the dog.
Before Herring was aware of it the dog
| bit through his trousers, near the boot leg,
| and buried his teeth in his leg.
A shotgun and a revolver were immedi-
ately brought out but the dog lodged every
bullet. The squire could not hit the ami
nal. Rumlsey, the owner, caught the dog
and offered To Kill it. The ex- assemblymar
said ne owed it to the justices and preach
ers of the county to have the dog out of tht
way. 1t was dOne.-Er.

THE STORY OF THE GREAT FAMINE
has not yet been half told, and the work of
relief already done is but small part OF
that which the occasion demands. Facts
published from time to time in the Russian
papers, as well as information received in
private letters, lead me to conclude that,

quate relief demands an amount of energy,
systematic work, and resources of both
food and money, to which the Russian gov
ernment is entirely unequal. Not only do
the sufferers lack food to-day; their priva-
tions will be cumulative for some time to
come, since they cannot raise grain for
themselves till the next harvest. What
may happen in January, February and
March-the three most terrible months of
the Russian winter-nobo Y can foretell.
But it is safe to say that unless relief
reaches Russia from abroad, both promptly
and IN abundance, the resultant loss of life
will maze this famine not only the greatest
calamity Of the Russian national life, but
also an event wholly and terribly unique in
modern history.
At such juncture as this | can only, as
one knowing some little of Russian conGi-
tions, join my voice to that of others in the
appeal for aid. Can any of US hear this cry
out of the Russian darkness without a
heart pang or turn away without first hav-
ing done everything in our power to allevi-
ate suffering and save lives! Let those
who will stretch cut a helping hand, and
let the movement SO generously begun by
the Western States and oy Governor Rus
sell, of Massachusetts, spread until it en-
braces the entire country.

1t is my opinion that if Russia had a pop
uar form of government the great surplus
in C&ucasia and in other parts of the Rus
sian empire would have been sufficient to
meet all demands. AS it Is now, grain Is
absolutely rotting on the fields of Caucasla.

beastly prerogative.

on production, paid under the lashes of the
knout, to the Russian government
THE EFFECTS ARE WORKING IN TWO WAYS.
The intelligent class wishes to help its sep
arate people by organizing philanthropic
societies all over the country. Prof. Sol
ovieff proposed to the government list of
subscribers whose donation would amount
TO Il, 600, 900 rubles, on condition that the
government allow the societies control of
the distribution. The rich widow, Sava
Morosoff, proposed to give 100000 rubles
to the suffers on condition that she be per
mitted to organize relief society, and in
| both cases the government declined. My
Russian correspondents have given me
several similar instances.
But the concession came when the dying
and dead were filing the village homes,
when church and state, with its burdens OF
| officials, found itself unable to cope with
40, COG, 600 starving peasants. individuals
were permitted to receive contributions
and distribute them in their own districts.
it was this concession that brought Count
Tolstoi to the front, and he and his family
are now doing a herculean work in the
stricken districts.
At the outset the reactionary papers OF
Russia cried out that Count Tolstois action
would produce q revolution. Two weeks
after this denunciation these same papers
denounced the government organization in
the famine districts as failures, and boldly
asserted that the government has not giver
one third the amount subscribed at the be
ginning of the famine.
AS a result, the people Of Russia are
losing faith in the government, and secre
societies are being organized in Kew, il
( Moscow and in St. Petersburg, to show the
Russian government that despotism mus

! time.

rests, and instead of food has sent gener

The Greek church is doing a herculean
work. Its arms reach out to every nook
and corner of the vast empire, and while in
the stricken districts the places of worship
have been changed into hospitals and dis
tributlon halls, in all other sections they
have become receiving stations, and none
so poor as TO hold back his mite. 1t is this
united work of the government and the
church which was, however, found power

jumped, armed with practical ideas and

Inc district free of charge, publishing their
offers in all of the papers OF Moscow and
st Petersburg. Relief trains are leaving
LlDau and ST. Petersburg many times a
day, stopping at all way stations to add to
their great loads of grain, food and clothing.
The trains from st. Petersburg cover the
central part of the stricken district; those
from Libau go direct to the Volga river to
the town of Tzaritzan, near Astrakan.
The transportation facilities to the north
ern part of the stricken districts are ex-
ceedingly meagre, and it is on this account
that the famine there is so intense Cara
vans of wagons leave Moscow and the rail-
road termini daily, aiding as they move
along.
All this shows that while there may be
enormous waste through bribery and pecu-
lation, the great mass of the Russian people
have awakened to the situation and are
doing what they can.
