this was the .man who had pounded Int o
tnsensibtlity the huge bulk of John l..
Sullivan, especially was this so to those
who have seen the Boston man in ring
costume. Corbett did not look unlike
the tall, athletic young society men you
can see almost any night in the gymna-
SUM OF a large athletic CLUB. He did
not seem half as big as Sullivan
about the arms, chest or legs and one
wondered where his great power lay.
But when he began to pound the bag and
skip about lodging it the wonder ceased.
The blows he rained upon the leather
sent 1t bounding against the ceiling with
a crack like the report of a Springfield
rifle and when he got warmed up to his
work and kept both arms going like the
piston rods of a sixty mile an hour loco>
tive the noise was like that of q skirmish
drill at Sea Girl In fact, SO loud were
the cracks that q horse which was tied to
tree at least a hundred yards from the
gymnasium broke his halter and started
through the woods on a run.
The champion delivered some terrific
blows especially with his left arm. 1t
was not long before he was in a dripping
perspiration and breathing hard. This,it
was said. was due to the fact that he had
not been In regular active training yet
and those who are acquainted with him
said that the, day before he went to New
bag for Il half hour without turning a
hair and breathed as easy when he was
done as he did when he began. After
the bag was punched the champion
played haudbali for some time with the
other pugilists. In addition to these
exercises Corbett Is frequently seen walk
ing about the country.

growth of a system which tends to
divide the people of the country up
ward by religious prejudices.
Besides, Father Corrigan's practical
argument involves a logical absurdi-
ty. He says: II the State will not
give me money to support my school,
| will not continue it. Well. IL the
State must pay for the education of
these sixteen hu ndred children-as it
is assuredly bound to do-why should
it not dose under its own system?
Why should it give Father Corrigan
money to run a school, instead of
opening a new school of its own un-
der its own officials. So far as the
money goes, it is tweedledum versus
tweedledee.
1t would not be a bad idea for the
Hoboken Board OF Education to settle
the matter by taking Father Corri-
gan's school building under the right
Of eminent domain by the usual con-
domination proceedings at an APP
praised valuation, and opening 1t as
a public school with a full corps of
teachers for the benefit of the chill
dren whom he has so heartlessly
thrown out without a moments no.
tiee, at a time of the year when it is
difficult, if not impossible, for the
public officials to make provisions for
their instruction.

Another point to be observed is the sx-
ceilent training of the chorus. both IN
singing aud in stags business. The prop
ertles, especially tue elephant. are of IN
cling company. The scene in which the
elephant becomes Intoxicated is SO irre-
sistibly funny that no matter with what

theatre. one will leave it exhausted with
laughing. The small children who ap.
pear in the "Baby" chorus are as we'll

IMPROPER VERSES AND JOKES.

The Programme of the Greenvilie Suab-
ian's Fest Caused Much Remark.
AT the Suabian Volks Fest, held on
Monday wi Tuesday of this week at the
G ~reenville Schuetzen Park. a paper con-
tanning a programme of the two days
sports and games was circulated. The
paper was called the Fest Zeitltng AID
contained IN addition to the me
and numerous advertisements, soma
verses and Illustrations OF a comicai
nature. About one OF the poems in the
publication there is said to be some dis
satisfaction nmoug the members. They
claim that this production is improper
and not fit reading matter for the ladies
attended the fest.
called on Mr.. Anton Kraus, Acting
Secretary of the Suabian Veretn, in refer
ence TO this report.
You can say said Mr.. Kraus to me,
"that these verses are not bad. Taat
only evil minded people would AXE an
improper meaning from them. Further
more the Verein cannot be held respoU-
sible for them, as they were INTRODUCES d
into the programme by the printer after
l had passed on the programme and de-
clared it satisfactory. When | next saw
the prog ramme it was printed and ready
for binding"
Treasurer Dominick Kraus. brother of
the Acting Secretary was also seen. Il
cannot see," said he, why anyone
should talk in this way of these verses
unless they are actuated by spite. Hhe
verses in question are in the first place
ineligible only to a Suabian. They are
good verses. but like a great many COM
mon expressions in every day usage, they
are capable of being misconstrued They
are nevertheless purer than many OF
Schiller's poems. ] noticed the poem
when / first saw the programme. l hoped
they would be passed over as it was then
too late to change it. The programmes
were ready for binding.
Il sha never forgive this printer who
has by his thoughtless action placed the
Verein in such IL bad light. The Verein
and its fest in such a bad light. Tue
Verein and It's fest Is as much the proper
ertv OF our wives and families as of our
selves, and has always enjoyed the best
and purest OF regulations. No one a5 the
fest seemed to have noticed the verses,
aud only an enemy OF the Verein can be
the author Of these remarks"
A New York printer is at the bottom
of all the trouble about the contents of
the programme. He has probably done
his last work Tor the Jersey City Suabi-
ans, and will be a lucky man if b. re-
ceives his pay for the work done. The
have Deeu advised not TO ray
the bill. Messrs. Anton and Dominick
Kraus do not favor such a sta nd. "Lsr
