INTRODUCTION.
Our last lesson left st. Peter an escaped
prisoner. He drops out of the history known
as the Acts of the Apostles, and almost all the
rest of the book relates to tho travels and
teachings of st. Paul. The Church has sur
vivcd much opposition. Two severe persecu-
tons have been experienced. Just now two
facts are favorable: st. Peter is free and Herod
Agrippa is dead and can no longer stretch
forth his hand to vex certain Of the Church"
as we saw him doing in r. l, and as he did in
the case of ST. Peter. (12:3, A. We have an
account of his horrid death in ~: 20 %. 1t
seems to have been Divine stroke in punish
ment for vanity and blasphemy.

THE SILVER BRIDGE.
Senator Hill Refuses to Leap Be-
fore He Looks.

NEW YORK, March "A Washington
correspondent telegraphs this bit of
talk: What is to be the policy of the
Democrats regarding free silver?' was
the question asked Senator Hill, of New
York, today. Mr.. Hill smiled and said:
II am new senatorial have not been
to discover that the Democrats have
a policy about anything" Senator,
how will you vote on the free silver bill
if one comes before the senate" The
senator replied: II will not cross that
bridge until | come to it," He then
turned and walked away.
The order for considering the silver
bill does not provide for vote, but the
silver men mean to have vote. and the
committee on rules will probably sus-
tain them in getting it. Speaker Crisp
was aked today why the provision for a
vote at given hour was not made in
order. He intmated that it would be
made if necessary, but added the COM
fn.ttee would not presume that the OPP
ponents of free coinage intended to fill

New YORK, March 1.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent has been
preparing a table showing presidential
preferences of the delegation to the
Democratic national convention. The
figures are based upon interviews with
congressional representatives of all the
states III Washington. The compilation
is made on basis of 900 delegates in the
national convention, of which the Her
aid mans classification is as follows:
Hill, 2S5.
Cleveland, 265.
For some Western man, $50.
Mr.. Cleveland seems to be the choice
of fourteen states. They are California,

chusetts. New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode
Island, South Dakota. Vermont, Iowa.

states. They are Colorado, Florida,
sey, New York, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina and Texas. Geographically,
the Hill states are: Southern States, s:
Middle states, 8, and Western states, 3.
Politically, seven are Democratic and
three Republican.
The estimates are made by Thomas
Alvord Jr., the Washington CORE
spondent of the paper, who says: This
table has been carefully and accurately
prepared. 1t is supported by interviews

GROVER AND THE FIELD.
Rhode Island Democrats Spend

Rhode Island Democrats Spend
an Exciting Day.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., March 2.-The
Democrats of Rhode Island met in this
city this morning for the nomination of
state officers for the election occurring
the first Wednesday in April. and also
for the selection of delegates to the
national conyantiOn. The outcome of
town and city caucuSes promised a
warm fight between two factions, one
purporting to favor the choice Of a dele
CATION for Cleveland and the other pre-
ferring the selection OF delegation to
go unpledged. These differences, it
was understood, extended to contest
| over the choice of state ticket, and an
attempt to prevent the reelection of
Samuel r. Heney as national commit
teeman. Up to midnight no sign of
Cancellation was reported and the pros
pect of hot time crowded the hall.
Chairman Owen, of the state central
committee. called the convention to
order promptly at II o'clock. Hon.
Charles E. German, of Providence, was
| elected temporary chairman. His
speech eulogized the administration of
Cleveland, and declared that his name
would be burnt into the hearts of the
people like those of Jefferson, Jackson
and Lincoln; it would complete the
triumyirate of century's Democracy.
These sentiments were greeted with
loud applause and few Kisses.
Congressman Page spoke during a
contested delegation case. He declared
that the Democrats were sound on
Cleveland's tariff policy, and sound on
the question OF free silver; but the ma
iofity in congress might be counted
upon to do nothing that would injure
the party or its candidates in the ap-
preaching election. A resolution was
presented by Samuel K. Honey and re-
ferred to the platform committee. in
structing the delegates to the national
convention to vote for Cleveland. 1t
was received with great enthusiasm.
Two hours were spent in deciding a
contested delegation, and then the tenn
porary organization was made perma-
nent. The platform reported to the con-
ventIon demands free raw material. 1t
approves the Springer wool list. Upon
the coinage question it reads: EVERY
dollar of American money. whether of
gold, silver or paper, ought to be of
equal value the world over" The re-
pealing of the Sherman coinage act is
favored because of its failure to accom-
plish results desired, and for like rea-
son free coinage of silver is opposed,
except upon international agreement.
The platform closes with Mr.. Honey's
resolution of instruction.
Nominations for governor being called
for, the faction led by Mr.. Honey and
credited to Cleveland presented the
name of David S. Baker Jr.. of South
Kingston. Ex-Lieut. Gov. w. G. I.
Wardwell, of Bristol, was placed in
counter nomination. A warm discus
sion, thick with personalities, followed.
The vote cast was: Wardwell, 1871; Ba-
ker. Sc, and Mr.. Wardwell was declared
the nominee.
For lieutenant governor Charles E..
German, of Providence, was nominated.

Maher, champion Of Ireland, and Robert
Fitzsimmons, the middleWeight cham
pionrof the world, fought tonight. AT
S:35 o'clock the arena, with its sea of
humanity, decorated in carnival-colOred
drapery and flags of all nations, pre-
sented a gala sight. Prof. John Duffy
was selected referee. Capt. Billy Bar
rett was, as usual, in charge of the
arena. Edward Curtis made his first
appearance as master of ceremonies,
and was heartily cheered.
While tile thrOng waited for the pre-
Iminary bouts to begin they discussed
the merits of the two men, and there
were many quiet bets made. No open
wagers were allowed. Outside of the
club throng waited the arrival of the
pugilists. Maher was the first to show
up. He had been kept in concealment
all day, denying himself to all
callers, and seeing only his man.
ager and his immediate friends.
He did some light work during the
evening. and at Z o'clock got in a cab
with Warren Louis, Billy Madden, Gus
uIlllll anu UdCA IdAlOAl3 dLNl OAOfO
down to the club.
Few knew that the tall and handsome
young fellow that walked with Madden
was the redoubtable Irish lad. Maher
wore heavy overcoat, and his face was
rosy and heavy To a reporter he said
he weighed 176 pounds, and felt in
splendid condition. Asked what his
plans would be, he said that
depended altogether ON the result of
the fight. After it was over he could
tell better. Maher was taken into a
room up stairs and stripped, and while
waiting for the call to the arena chatted
pleasantly with the men who believed
he was the greatest nan of his class in
the world.
Fitzsimmons reached the club at s
o'clock, and Immediately stripped. He
was accompanied by Jimmy Carroll,
Joe Choynski aud Prof. j. Robertson.
The Australian appeared in superb con-
dltion. He had little to say, and of the
fight he would not talk at all, but there
was supreme confidence in every move
he made. Carroll said Fitzsimmons and
friends spent the afternoon i'll playing
the piano and singing. Fitz did not
seem like man going into the

Shortly after this came message
from the capital of Alabama signed by

The Senator Puzzled.
Senator Hill has up to this evening
been unable to make reply to any of
these invitations, despite the urgency
of the kilograms. II would like to visit

The Southern friends Of Mr.. Hill in

Round Five-The men met in the center of

Round Seven-Both men stepped to the

head. and Maher flung his right lightly in
his opponents ribs. Fitzsimmons cleverly

FitZsimmons got fair fight, and at
the close went over ard kissed the Irish
boy. He offered flask to his besten
opponent, took hearty pull of the red
Maher on his game fight. The cheering
for FitZsimmons was deafening in the
extreme, and the same merciful meth
DDS that marked his fight with Demp-
sey were offered again to the Irish
champion. The decorum was some
thing wonderful, and stamps again the
Olympic's name for fairness and man
agerial ability.
Some people commented on Makers
courage when he gave up the fight, but
it is only reasonable to think he should
have done so, when the superior science
and generalship Of the man from Aus
tralia is called to mind. Fitzsimmons
walked around the ring after the fight
receiving the congratulations of his
friends. lie certainly proved himself
wonderful fighter. His cleverness with
both hands was really marvellous, and
it is but fair TO say that there are few
tricks in the ring and few hits that
FitZsimmons is unacQuainted with.
A few of the big bets registered today
were as follows: Charley Johnson,
$4,000 on Maher; Jimmy Adams, of New
York, $1,000 on Maher; D. A. Ormsby,
$500 on Fitzsimmons; Billy Madden,
$1,000 on Maher: the Garfield track

a heavy blow on the sore mouth and
clinched. A well-meant right slipped off

Round Twelye-Fitzs stock went up as
the battle progressed. and when his left shot
into Makers sore mouth again, the blood
responded freely. The Australian was taking
his time now, seemingly feeling secure.
Makers head went back twice with two
heavy let's, and the Australian slipped
away to avoid punishment. The Irish
man staggered in response to two heavy
blows, and he played groggy to draw Fitz.
