TAMMANY ARRAIGNED.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., is brave
man and unsparing in his de-
nouncement OF wrong. In New York,
on Sunday, among other things, he
said
''Well, let the good work go forward. have
been advised to employ shrewd Tammany

hands OF Tammany than to shake hands with

'.Tammany Hail, with its greed and cunning
and power is the one deadly octopus that is
poisoning the social and political life of this
city, and through this metropolis the Nation.
It is the most powerful coterie of organized
criminals that ever dominated the life Of any
civilization. 1t makes and unmakes judges and
luries. 1t feeds and breeds on vice and crime
With merciless iron heel It crushes the weak
intimidates the half-hearted and defes the
strong. It is the one witherng, blasting curse
OF our city's life, damning with the hot breath
OF corruption and dishonor every ramihcatiou
of our body polite. Like fostering cancer, Il
is literally eating the heart out Of the honor OF
our ambitious young manhood
"For one l defy the beast. l know I stanc
single-handed and alone against a trained hos

before this Nation to win another victory, II
will have first to kick Tammany Hall out Of its
back door, wash with sapolio, and turn on the
hose pipe. After trying to destroy the state OF
New York, they come snealing back from
Chicago, saying they will support the ticket
They lie They came back from Chicago with
honey on their lips, treachery in their hearts
and knives in their boots. They will do in
November what they have done before, and
spend another four years trying to lie out of it.
LAS for my work in this city, every step in
their effort to throttle this pulpit but gives me
another nail for their coffin The difference
between the morality of the present regime Of
Tammany Hall and that of its real founder,
William NJ. Tweed is the difference between
the ethics Of bunco steerer and highway
robber. For my part, l prefer the dash and
daring of the highwayman for a boss, if we are
to have one. If the slippery Godchidren of
William NJ. Tweed believe they can intmidate
this pulpit, let them take due notice now-they
have made a mistake.

DIXON'S EASY VICTORY
Johnson Knocked Out in Four
teen Rounds.
MUCH MONEY CHANGED HANDS.

The Englishman Was Neither So Quick
Nor So Scientific as the CoIored Cham
pion, and Stood No Chance of Winning
the Fight from the Beginning.
CoNEY ISLAND, L. l., June 2S.-Ths
Coney Island Athletic Club got together
large crowd last night at the prize
fight between Fred Johnson of Birming-
ham, England, and George Dixon, the
featherweight champion of the world.
For two hours before the doors opened
crowds gathered on the pavements out
side. Probably about $500 was real
lied
John l.. Sullivan arrived about $3.50
O'Clock and was loudly cheered as soon
as he was recogn zed. All well-knOwn
sporting men of New York, Brooklyn
and their vicinity were present, as were
delegations from Boston, Philadelphia
and other cities
The fighters weighed in at o'clock
In the afternoon. The beam was placed
at III pounds and neither man drew it,
that is neither made it move. 1t was
plain, however, that johnson was fully
pound the heavier. Dixon seemed to
be at about 115 pounds,
The betting was pretty lively during
the afternoon and evening, Dixon ruling
favorite at 100 to 80, and sometimes 100
to 70. The fight was for a So, OC0 purse,
of which $500 went to the loser
At the end of the first round every
friend of the colored lad among the
1000 spectators was shouting and cheer
ing for the champion. For in that short
three minutes Dixon demonstrated TO
the satisfaction of everybody that he
was by far the quickest, strongest and
most scientific of the two men.
He was master of the situation from
start to end. Beyond the exhibition OF
artful dodging and a prOneness for
taking his punishment, johnson gave
no evidence of being a great fighter.
When Dixon gave the knockout blow,
two minutes and five seconds after the
opening of the 18th round, he fell
on his man. This moved Charlie Norton
to claim a foul, which Referee AL smith
would not allow.

the 100 persons who were affected by the
eating of the poisoned ice cream on Sun
day are fairly on the way to recovery.
Drs Dinmouth, WILDER, Mcbride, John
son and Williamson have been working
hard upon the patients, with hopes of
pulling the victims through. The worst
case up to the present Is that of Mrs.
Ella Patterson, who still lies in a criti'
cal condition. DR.. Mcbride feels con-
fdent of her ultimate recovery. Mr..
Kurrus, who made the cream, 240
quarts, says he cannot explain the pres
ence of the poisonous matter in it.

INDIANAPOLIS, June Ex-senator Brica
stopped over here for few hours. When
asked when the National Committee

July 10. The committee on notification
has appointed a subcommittee of five to

Mrs. browning in Conversation.

In conversation Mrs. Browning
seemed reserved, with a certain
proud aloofness of manner; at the
same time there was listening reti-
cence in her attitude that did not
help the playful tossing to and fro of
talk. Occasionally she flung her re-
marks into the midst of the discussion.
and such remarks were weighed,
measured and full of sense and pur-
pose. 1t was evident that Mrs. Brown.
ing had not thrown off the habit, ac.
quired in the years of silence in her
darkened chamber, of conversing in
a one sided way with the best books,
which is vastly different from con
versing with the best men.
l remember speaking with Crab
Robinson about Mrs. Browning; he
partly agreed with me, but not en-.
tlrely. He was not so disappointed
as | was with her reserve in con
versation; being a great talker him
self, he specially valued the gift of
silence in others. He found the
poetess very interesting and pleas
ing, and commended her for taking
no opportunity of display, and ap
parently having no desire. Temple

ages of ten and nineteen underwent

room white and trembling, as if he
anticipated actual torture, and the

A STRANGE NUT.
Travellers in Russia Come Across tn

Travellers i'm Russia Come Across the

A young Russian groceryman al

his stock of goods to Mr.. George

and his companion a great deal of in,
formation as to the Chinese and Rus.
sian nuts lying in open bags on the
counter. Mr.. Kennan describes what
follows:
After we had examined them all
and tested few, the grocer said:
Il have in the back part of the
shop some very curious ones that
were sold me year or two ago as
African nuts. Whether they ever
came from Africa or not | don't
know, but the people here do not
like the taste of them, and will not
buy them. If you will condescend
to wait a moment I will get few"
What do you suppose they areY
inquired Mr.. Frost, as the young man
went after the African nuts.
Brazil nuts, very likely" l re-
Piled, "or cocoanuts don't believe
anybody here would know either of
them by sight, and they are the only
tropical nuts can think of"
In a moment the man returned,
holding a handful of the fruit of a
plant known in science as Arachis
hypogma.
Why, those are peanuts!" shout
ed Mr.. Frost, in a burst of joyful
recognition. "Amerikanshi peanuts =
he explained enthusiastically to the
groceryman. ''Kushat khorosho'-
American peanuts eat very we'll
and he proceeded to illustrate this
luminous statement by crushing the
shell of one and masticating the
contents with an ostentatious show
of relish.
Suddenly, however, the expression
of his face changed, as if the result
had not fully justified his anticipa
tons, and relieving himself of the
African nut" he exclaimed, ''They

to the groceryman. Americans al
ways do fry"
''Fryl" exclaimed the young man
to whom fried nuts must have beer
a startling novelty. "How is it pos
sible to fry them2"
l explained to him that Mr.. Frost
meant to say roast Them" but this
seemed to him quite as extraordinary
as frying, and when he was told that
the peanuts is not the fruit of a tree,
but of an herbaceous plant, and that
it grows underground, his astonish-
ment was boundless.
His commercial instincts, how
ever, soon resumed their sway, and
when we left his shop he was already
preparing to roast quantity of the
wonderful American underground
nuts, with view to sending them
out again on trial
