LIVELY SIX-ROUND "MILL.n
iddOn and Gaffney '.Bih!" "BanE?
Each Other Till Time Is Up.

AAA ~ ~
Jersey CITY, N. j., April 23.-The
Scottish American Athletic Club provided
a very tempting card tonight for the box
ing show. putting up their three best men,
Steve Bloom. Tom Gaffney and Eddy Con-
nell. against Jim Holmes, George Siddons
and Dave O'Connor, respectively. The
bouts were to be of six rounds each. The
first bout was declared a draw. George
Siddons, of New Orleans, and Tom Gaffney,
;. A. c., then climbed through the ropes.
They weighed 122 pounds. Gaffney had the
advantage of height and reach. Siddons
was much the cleverer, doing good work in
the third round. In round five Siddons led
his right on the head and was countered
lightly on the neck. He then put his
right on the stomach, but missed. Rapid
exchanges were then in order, and Sid
dons landed his right on the head. This
blow staggered Gaffney and he almost fell.
Siddons put in another on the head at the
end of the round. Siddons opened the sixth
and last round with his lert on the face.
Gaffney was not idle, and he landed right
and left on jaw and neck, following up
with a stinging left On the chest. They
kept it up until the timekeeper rang his
bell. Referee Early declared it a draw.
The police interfered in the last bout after
O'Connor had delivered a Knockout blow
to his opponent. No decision was rendered.

TO CATCH THE FARMERS.
THE ADVANCE IN COTTON THOUGHT
TO BE SCHEME,
Worked by the Sharks to Induce the Far
mers to Plant Another Big Crop
and thus Keep Prices
Down.

For the past several days there has
been boom in cotton futures, the mar
ket jumping nearly forty points or almost
half cent since Wednesday. Yester-
day there was a declines of about tea
points, which may, however, be recover
ed shortly, as it is yet too soon to draw
the net and land the suckers.
For, as is usually the case, the man at
the end of the pole isiin New York, while
the fish" nibble the tempting bait at
this end of the line.
The rise in the market is said to be
the work of spectators, and cotton men
are we'll on to the game they are trying
to play. A prominent factor of Augusta
expresses the opinion that the present
boom in the market is only an effort to
encourage the farmer to keep on plant
ing the usual cotton acreage.
The buyers we'll know that the farm
ers are depressed and Respondent over 5
cent cotton and wv that they have near

figure the spectators, to choke
them off from entering the
movement to reduce the acreage, which
has be ONE a serious matter for consid-
Grafton with the farmers, and which
they all have about agreed upon to enter,
nave started jumping the price at the
all end of the season. The advancing
prices now will not benefit the farmers
at all, for it is very small percentage
of them who have not marketed and sold
their crop.
The Augusta cotton man says the
hope of those who are booming the
market is to get the planters to grow
more cotton shis year than ever before
so as to flood the country with another
excessive crop, which will make the
prices next season as low, if not lower,
han they have ever been. 1t is to be
hoped that the farmers will not get trap
ped by this trickery scheme, but will
adhere to their intentions of reducing the
acreage and make less cotton and more
hog and hominy and other home sup
plies.

An Oddlty of the Income Tax.


Washington Letter in Chicago Times
Herald.
The income tax is raising some odd
questions here, as elsewhere. Congress-
man Fielder, of New Jersey, who was
elected to fill the unexpired term OF E.
F. Mcdonald, deceased, has very gra-
ciously made over the total salary re-
ceiyed by him since he took the oath of
congressman, SO, 900, to his predecessor
widow. The 'how dye do" part of it
arises from the construction of the in
come tax law by Commissioner Miller
and Speaker Crisp, both of whom hold
that Congressman Fielder must pay 2
per cent. on the amount, the law holding
that all incomes, no matter whether
earned or bequeathed, are taxable. so
that 1T will be seen that the government,
like the man with the double ended eel
trap in the river, catches 'em acopiL'
and gwine."

When the electrical water power
transmission scheme at Niagara falls is
finished, it will be the greatest enter
prise established for such purpose on the
globe. But it is by no means the first,
nor was it when it was planned. AL
ready in the west, particularly on the
Pacific slope, water power transformed
into an electrical current has been sent
to places where power was needed miles
away. The San Antonio (Cal.) Light
and Power company has for several
years dispatched power to plant 80
miles away. Scores of other establish
ments in California and other western
states transmit power from water falls
electrically over anywhere from 4 to 10
miles of wire. The great 5000 horse
power dynamo made for the Niagara
plant is constructed on the latest idea
of Tesla. If power can be sent electric
ally 80 miles, there is no reason why 1t
cannot be sent 200 miles. That seems
plain.

If legislatures undertake to pass laws
that women shall not wear large and
high hats to the theater, they ought also,
while they are about it, to atfix to the law
a clause declaring that all men who go
out for drinks between acts should take
seats next the aisle, SO that whole row
of people will not have to rise each time
they dodge out. 1t is poor rule that
will not work both ways. Meantime,
however, the sympathies Of the public
are entirely with the movement against
the high hats. They are an annoyance
and an evaporation that only those who
have sat behind one of them at public
meeting can appreciate. One way to
abate the nuisance might be for Sec
ton of theater to be set specially apart
for the big hated ladies, where they
could have it all to themselves and an
noy nobody but themselves with their
towering Gainsboroughs.

The negro met some other negroes not

Forge and Furnace of the Future.

The opinion is expressed by a writer
in The Mechanical News that the forge
and furnace of the future will consist of
q lead lined glass Or porcelain vase, or
cupola, filled with cold acidited water,
to which is connected a strong positive
conductor, the forge and outfit being
rendered complete by a pair of tongs
with insulated handles attached to a
flexible negative conductor. According
to this plan, the smith seizes the piece
Of iron which is to be manipulated with
the insulated tongs and plunges it into
the sour water, which begins to boil
and bubble the instant it comes in con-
tact with the iron, the latter, in re-
markedly short space Of time, turning
to a red and then to white heat, ready
for the work Of the smith. So rapidly
indeed is the heating done by this means
that the water and the portion of the
iron not immersed in the water are but
slightly warmed. The principle involv-
ed in this process is of a simple and we'll
known character resistance produc-
ing the light and heat-it being found
that enormous heat can be produced by
such a method, much greater, in fact,
than is necessary to extract iron from
the most refractory ores. 1t is remarked
that the value Of such process will be
especially exhibited in the more COM
plete and rapid handling of heavy iron
and steel plates and bars requiring to
be hammered and welded-more valua-
BILE still for tempering purposes, as the

WHAT A GOOD KNIFE COSTS.

Moro Men Spend $3 For a POcketknife
Than Less That Amount.
"More men pay So and upward for
pocketknife than less That may not
be the experience Of all cutlery dealers,
but that's the kind of trade we cater
to-" said a knife expert from behind
the counter of store on one Of the most
frequented Of down town streets.
"Spaniards spend the most money for
Knives, :" he continued. "Spaniards who
come here are very fastidious in the
matter of cutlery anyway. Where an
American family in the same circum-
stances will be content with the ordina-
ry plated tableware, costing 81 or 81. so

but the finest steel with ivory handles,

them every year. This heavy one here

Routed the Bull,

A lumberman attached to John
Cranes camp, up beyond the Katahdip
Iron works in Maine, was tra1nping
across to pond late one November
evening when he ran upon a bull moose.
The lumberman had no rifle, SO he
yelled and waved his arms, expecting
that the broad antlered bull would dash
fear stricken down the mountain. But
it didn' t. It rushed for the lumberman.
He lodged about tree and dropped his
ak. For ten minutes he lodged, half
scared to death. Then he climbed the
tree.
The bull butted the tree with its ant
lers until it swayed to and fro, and then
walked away few yards and rested.
The lumberman yelled some more. When
he could yell no longer, be set his wits
to work. just above him was q dead
limb. He broke it off, and as the bull
advanced again he set the wood afire and
dropped it on the bulls back. With q
below it ran down the mountain. The
half frozen lumberman made line for
