A few days ago VIM. H. Forrest purchased
horse for s.. and this morning he was
charged before Judge Kimball with cruelty
in working the horse. Forrest sought to
excuse himself on the ground that he knew
very little about horses, and did not know
that the horse was unfit to work
"A reasonable man, Mr.. Forrest" said the
court, should know that So horse is unfit
to work. You, however, apparently do not

NEW ORLEANS, March 3.-Joe Goddard,
the Barrier Giant" and Ed Smith, the
Denver pugilist. met tonight in the arena
of the Olympic club for purse of $4,000,
the loser to take barely enough from the
purse to d-iray his training expenses.
With the shadow of the Ryan-Dswson
fzzle still lowering in the air and the
small and disinterested crowd which wit
messed the cheap fight of Kinds and Nc
MILAN, the members of the Olympic club
were anything but in good spirits until
treasured by the prospect of q big crowd
to witness the Australian and Denver boy
battle with each other. The handsome
club house was ablaze with dazzling lights,
crowded carriages filed the streets sur
rounding the grounds. and the reception
committee was taxed to it's utmost in the
entertainment of the clubs guests hours
before the time for the fight.
Goddard I'm Town Early.
Goddard. strong as lion, reached the
city from his training quarters at Biloxi
early in the morning. number of his
friends and a sma crowd of curiosity
seekers assembled at the depot to greet
the big Australian, but Joe seemed anxious
TO avoid any notoriety. and escaped the
crowd through the strategy of Billy Mad
den. Entering a closed carriage the two
were driven TO a small hotel, scarcely a
block from the club house. He remained
in bed till o'clock resting him
self When he put in an appearance at
the club and was at once Ushered into the
dTessingroom set apart for him. he looked
big and strong with not an ounce of su-
perfuous flesh on his BODY. showing that
he had trained faithfully and we'll. His
muscles were like bars of iron. on which
the veins stood out ike Whip-cords. His
legs were strong and sturdy and he car
ried himself with confident, determined
air which had Smith seen before he en-
tered the arena might have deferred him
from engaging In the fight. Goddard had
6 slight cold which appeared bothersome,
but he laughingly remarked: The cold
will leave me in a few minutes when l
warm up to that Denver boy"

the temper OF the Indiana press We think
these people will find that they are crack

The amendment oil the libel law was
asked not as favor. but as an act of JUS
tice. 1t permits a pull sher to submit in
evidence in libel suit subsequent re-
traction, apology or explanation as tend
ing to disprcve the charge of malice.
Every criminal has the opportunity to
show absence of criminal intent, and
there is no reason why any man should
pa punished for malice without being
given an opportunity to show that be had
no malice. As matter of fact, no sensi-
BILE newspaper man publishes libelous
statements that he believes or even sus-
poets to be false. He would be foolish to
do so. But every newspaper is liable to
make mistakes. and every one is liable to
be imposed upon. Men who have objects

things it must occasionally happen that
the best intentions aud the utmost care
will not avail to prevent mistake, and I'M
der such circumstances il is most unjust
to punish a man for malice he never knew
We have not the slightest belief in any
profession of opposition to this bill from

miserable show of resentment, and moth

In regard to the criticisms that have
been made OF members ID may be as we'll
for them to remember that the man who
invites criticism by his actions is most
responsible for the criticism that ensuss.
A few days ago the Washington Post apty
said: Those statesmen who have great
ness thrust upon them generally loaf in
the vicinity of the thrusting apparatus"
The same thing can be as truly said of
statesmen who have criticism thrust upon
them. and the public understand that
thoroughly. They need not hope to es-
cape blame by viliifying newspapers. Mr.
MCHUGH, for example. NAV give his chief
thanks to himself. The press did not in
troduce his Roby bill. The press did not
introduce and secure the passage OF his
bill extending the terms of town officers
or his raj road stock bill. The press did
not put him in position to control le0is-
Iation, nor in any wav aid and abel him in

graduate the country; second. the navy,

and navy a man who understands the best
interests OF the navy; insures honest and

me to congratulate you personally. Shar-

pointment, beg to remain. very respect
