TO canvas the rounds in detail is
needless. 70 analyzc the cause OF
victory and defeat is more to the pur-
pose
Any close observer OF man, any keen
student of human impulse, saw at the
outset that in his heart Myer did not
expect to defeat his opponent There
was in his stolid face no CLINT of hard
resolve. lie was there because the
match was made: because he had been
trained for the encounter: because
others, il not himself, believed there
was chance for him to succeed. Tho
two men are scarcely to be compared as
to scientific form, one shambled, the
other trod firmly: one slouched loosely
as he squared away, the other was
alert, springy, confident.
The offensive throughout the battle
was assumed by McAuliffe. Myer TO
be sure led occasionally. He could not
always stand and wait, giving his foe
his own time for rest. When in the
second round McAuliffe knocked his
man down twice, there came into
Myers face an expression born in his
hopeless heart at the onset. When in
the eighth round McAulffe caught
Myer on the right cheek and the blood
trckled down his face, there came into
the eyes OF Myer a look like that dumb
animals give to those whom they ac-
knowledge their masters.

No Railroad Passenger Traffic Between
Mo o.treal. Quebec and Detroit.
DETROIT, Mich. Sept DIR nutfield,
in his capacity as health officer Of De-
troit, and backed by the authority OF
the United States. has decided to es-
tablish twenty days quarantine at
Detroit. Thh decision was made after
reading a telegram from Quebec. giving
the report of the international health
commission upon the Canadian quaran'
tine station at Crosse Isle.
As soon as this order is enforced i'm
migration between Montreal, Quebec
and Detroit must cease. The railway
men have declared that they will not
attempt to bring any immigrants from
Montreal through Detroit after that or
der is made. There can be no doubt
now about Dr. Duffield's authority to
stablish quarantine of twenty or
sixty days If he chooses. When secrc-
tary Foster was telcgraphed in regard
to the twenty days quarantine proc
lamation, Assistant Secretary Spauld'
ing telegraphed back that while the
proclamation did not apply to railways,
yet it was the duty of the customs otii'
GERS to detain all immigrants until the
health authorities are satisfied that
their admission will not introduce

QUICKLY BURIED,

WV cemetery without DELAY.
HAVRE, Sept. ., EVERY morning two
big wagons drive up to the hospital
door and take a load of cotfins. They
return for more until all are carted to
the cemetery. The funeral service is
always brief. Usually the simple
Iatholic service of few words and the
dlgger shovels down the earth. The
hospital people discourage any attempt
TO attend the funeral on the part of
friends and relatives of those who
die, The ordinary custom is TO
take the coffin out and bury
the bodies as quickly as possible
where the patients are poor and un-
known and have no friends, several are
piled IN one grave. Where the family
has plot the corpse is buried there,
The custom at Ilavre is not to buy a
plot outright, but to rent it for a term
OF years. Among private houses where
deaths occur the authorities demand
instant burial. Three hours Is the most
ever allowed to elapse between death
and burial, except, Of fourse, where the
victim dies at night and can't be buried
until morning The undertalsers are
kept busy, although there are no fla.

Each district of the city has its own
undertaken, and every person dying in
that section must be buried by him 1t
is impossible to evade this. Where a
person dies in the night the undertaken

All cholera victims in the town are
buried in leaden collins. not in wooden

Under the circumstances funerals are
very quiet affairs, quickly over, and

friends, but very few. Leaden coffins
