Tammany's grand rally for winding up

overwhelming demonstration, clearly for.
shadowing victory at the polls on Tues
day OF next week No such immense pop

the days Of the war,
The whole nation was admirably repre-

headed by the magneticex Senator EUst.s
of Louisiana, and eloquent Senator Car
lisle OF Kentucky, who delivered powerful
addresses In Tammany Han. Inside ana
outside the structure The main topic OF
the orators was the danger to liberty
from the projected "Fo-co bnl' lcgi-la-
tion, and from official intcrmoddl.ug with
elections.
1t is needless to say that the numerous
. instances furnished ready TO hand
Thursday by "Marshal Johnny" Davon-

indignant denuncialiou. The election
officials were summoned to stand firmly
upon their rights on Election Day, no

Breach OF Contract.
BosTON. Nov 5.-A decision was given
by Justice Holmes in the suit OF the c. r.
Jewctt Publishing company against Cen
eral Butler for breach OF contract on his
book. The case has now been before the
court for over year and has proved pro-
life In interesting incidents and one or
more suits for alleged libel. Judge Holmes,
IN a cha actrristically interesting decision.
holds, first, against General Bt ler's con-
tention, that he Uhe generaD did make .
contract with the e. i. Jewett Publishing
company and that he has broken ID. Next
he decides In favor OF the contention OF
General Butler, that the contract WAS
worthless 20 any publisher, because the
book Is not success, and that no dam
ages are recoverable. His honor further
decided TO hear the parties later on To
question whether the e. r. Jewett Pub-
lishiug company incurred any expense ON
account Of the contract, and il they prove
that any loss has resulted IN that disss-
tion they may recover such damages.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.--A large numb.i
Of sporting men assembled in the corri-

contest between Bob Fitzsimmons

early President Newton OF the c. J. A..
&. offered Thursday night 10 hang up a
purse of $4,000 for "go" between Fitz
simmons and Hall before the club, which
was 5000 more than the highest offer
made By President Noel Of the Crescent
club.
When Ftzsimmons notified Noel OF this,
the latter asked him 20 wait until he could
communicate with the other members Of
the club before accepting the offer. Yes
terlay Noel offered go 900 for the match.
and the Coney Island club AZ once went
5000 better, Offering a purse Of t45, 900 for
the match. FitZsimmons said he would
give an answer IN a few minutes, and, after
another consultation with President Noel,
decided 20 accept the latter's offer. Fitz-
simmons gave gs reason for accepting
the smaller purse that the New Orleans
people always gave him fair play, and he
felt, in "a measure. under much obligation

COnceit in Youngsters.

1t is good thing for young man
to be knocked about in the world, :"
though his soft-hearted parents may
not think so. All youths, or, if not
all, certainly nineteen-twentieths Of
the sum total, enter life with a
surplusage of self-conceit. The soon
er they are relieved of it the better.
If, in measuring themselves with
wiser and older men than themselves,
they discover that it is unwarranted,
and get rid of it gracefully, Of their
own accord, we'll and good; if not, it
is desirable, for their own sakes, that
it be knocked out of them. A boy
who is sent to a large school soon
finds his level. =
The world is great public school,
and it soon teaches new pupil his
proper place, says the New York
Ledger. If he has the attributes
that belong to a leader, he will be in
stalled in the position of leader; if
not, whatever his own opinion of his
abilities may be, he will be compelled
to fall in with the rank and file. If
not destined to greatness, the next
best thing to which he can aspire is
responsibility, but no man can either
be truly great or truly respectable
who is vain, pompous and overbear-
ing.
BY the time the novice has found
his legitimate social status, be the
