quick, knows how to duck and how to
hit, and seems to me to know also how
to reserve his strength for the final tus-
sic.
Pugilsm OF to-day must be regarded
as real science. When a man of my
weight can duck successfully and re-
peatedly in fight with featherweight,
it shows at least that there has been
some hard practice and good deal of
headwork done before getting to that
point. l think Sullivan and Corbett
can do the same.
Charley Mitchell is a very clever
boxer, but he would stand no show
whatever with Sullivan or Corbett. As
to Frank Slavin, while a good man and
a good fighter, do not think he is extra
clever. He could not fight Sullivan. In
fact, he is just the kind of fighter Sui
Ivan could knock out easily, for he'd
come to him. Corbett is a thousand per
cent. better than Slavin. He is clever,
he has QuickneSs, youth aud strength
and good head, and he will give any
big man good fight.

Another quiet, Uneventful week in
local industrial fields. with nothing Of
moment TO change the monotony of con-
tInuous operation. The situation is
practically unchanged with reference
70 the number Of plants in operation
and the number Of men employed. The
next few weeks, however, promise a
retirement in this regard, as a number
OF the mills are enlarging their capaci-
~ and will be ready to start up in that
time.
The glass decorators OF the country
have al last succeeded in efTecting an
organization OF their craft. For nearly
two years past they have made efforts
in thar direction with very little sue
cess. But the question had been agita-
ted vigorously, until il permeated all
parts of the country where the work Of
decorating is carried on, and as a result
an organization is now established
on a very promising basis. The
pDrpOSes Of the organization are pro-
factiOn and the shortening OF the hours

sfble, 20 secure a more even distribution
Of work throughout the year. AT pres

they are rushed with work for six
months 10 the year, and this occurs in
summer, and they are compelled 20 lie
idle during the best working weather,

condition Is not entirely necessary

Wanted to See Mitchell Licked.


Col. John A. Cockerill was invited by
the John L. Sullivan side OF the Sulll-
van-Corbett $4,000 match to act as
stakeholder for the fight of September
next. Col. Cockeril says: IL very
promptly declined to act as stakeholder,

way in which Sullivan has served notice
on the assumed lighters of the country
that they must step up and do some

Mr.. Sullivan administer a good thrash

prig. Mr.. Charles Mitchell, who. under

used this country as happy hunting

years. When in this country in search

that the New York World is now acting
in that capacity for the proposed match
between Sullivan and Corbett. That q
newspaper which pretendS to be the

TO this sort OF thing is incomprehensl-
BILE: but journalism is very rapidly adj

editors discuss the ethics of things with
great gravity, and lay down morals for
the guidance OF the general public, the
boys in charge of the news down stairs
are deyising ways and means to sell

The Barred Head at Funerals.

The barred head at funerals is, for hy-
gienic reasons, becoming custom of
the past in some localities An agita-
tion against it was started by Captain
George A. Raabe, a member of many
benevolent societies in San Francisco,
and as result of his labors nearly
every society Of the kind on the Pacific
coast has adopted resolutions to the eff
feet that the members shall keep their
hats on at the graves of their departed
comrades. Grand Army posts in Cali
fornia have followed suit. Societies in
Milwaukee are discussing the same
question. Health Commissioner Win
gate, of that city, recently made these
sensible remarks on the subject of the
exactions of the modern funeral:

A c,evsr pefcn.e.

Sea captains have many adventures,
and the stories Of their wonderful es-
capes seldom lose by repetition. Many
years ago pirates cruised up and down
the English channel to the great peril of
the merchantmen. The story is told of
a Captain Davis, who was noted for his
quick wit as we'll as for his skill in navi-
cation, that he was returning from Ire
land with a cargo consisting mainly of
butter.
He had not been ont very long when a
pirate was seen coming down upon him.
In vain all sails were spread; every mo-
nent brought the pirate nearer.
The men were at their wits end, but
the captain knew a trick or two. He
ordered his men to take off their boots
and stockings, and directed that a score
of butter barrels be brought on deck.
In few minutes the barrels had been
knocked to pieces, and the butter was
thickly spread all over the deck and out
side the ship. Not rope nor spar
that was not slippery. Even without
their boots and stockings the sailors
could scarcely keep on their legs.
On came the pirate, not dreaming how
smoothly he was to be received. Cap
tain Davis assumed an air of submission
and allowed the enemy to come along
side quietly.
But 10! when they jumped over, fully
armed, with pistol in one hand and
sword in the other, they slipped about
and tumbled over each other on the but
tered deck like SO many rats.
One fellow shot head foremost down
into the cabin, where he was imme-
diately set upon by the boy; another
slid across the deck and shot out into
the sea by an opposite portfolio.
Not one of them could stand ON his
feet, and as pirates are generally super
stitious, an idea seized them that the
ship was possessed of the devil. They
hurried back into their own vessel, cast
loose, and Captain Davis got safely into
port at the expense of few pounds of
butter.-Youth's Companion.

the sons Of the deceased must be shaved

he has been sufficiently calned to SUBJ

which it burns, than the bereaved seeks
out pleasant, shady spot, and the tedi-

is cleaned, then the face, nor is the task
over till the last hair is gone.-San Fran
