Another Blow at Boxing.

ST. LOUIS, MO, Dec. 6.-There will
be no more boxing matches between pro
fcssionals in this city.
That is the edict given by Chief Har-
riSan, in response TO newspapers de-
nouncing such contests as against the
law.
Last night Professor Mooney. of the
Business Mems Gymnasium advertised
a boxing tournament TO take place at
Uhrig's Cave. A squad of police were
present. and forbade the contest

self is almost square in shape and made
of pale blue silk lined with white. A
strip Of pale blue satin ribbon extends
across the upper right hand corner, and
a similar band across the lower one on
the left. Filling in the corners and
along tho edge are festoons of white en-
broideled chiffon. In the center is paint
ed ring of wild roses.
Some pretty bureau drawer sachets
are simply made of quilted satin, lined
with plain china silk and embroidered
with tho initials.
a useful article is sponge holder
made Of piece of oiled silk about s
inches square. The outside is ornament
ed with bands of bright red braid cross
ing each other at right angles and form
ing numerous little squares. The ends
of the strips terminate in loops along
the edge, and where the bands cross
each other ON the silk they are held in
position by a star worked in yellow
floss. Between the stars brass rings are
sewed to the braid. When suspended by
long strips of tape fastened to each cor
her, this makes very pretty receptacle.

A Christmas Idea, Possibly.

A thrifty family not far from here
for number of years have been cele-
brating Christmas by providing each
other with the necessaries of life for the
coming year. This includes clothing for
the children and grown up daughters.
The man of the house, as the bear of the
family, is usually presented with new
hat, which renders him awfully august
Tor the next few days. The maternal
head generally receives pair of cloth
Ihoes. Sometimes, however, a reckless
fxtravagance is INDUCED in, and small
bits of nickel that would naturally have
gone into the collection on q succession
of Sundays find their way into the hands
of the children.
Now, such an observance of the occa-
sion is certainly more according to
the letter than to the Esprit" of the
laws Of generosity and good cheer-a
sort OF mean continuance on the part Of
well to do people to take extra credit for
fulfilling their regular obligations. II
the people are poor, however, the case is
quite different. aud the gift will be even
more welcome because it is useful

PRESENTS OF cELLULOIO.
How to Make Wall Pockets, Brush Trays
and Photograph frames.

Sheet celluloid is one Of the best ma
terials that can be employed in fancy
work. 1t can be purchased in all delicate
colors. can be cut with the scissors,
sewed and punched.
With steel punch, for making small,
perfect holes in paper, etc, wonders can
be done with celluloid, whether you
can paint@or not. These punches cost
about half dollar
First, various trays can be made OF
sheet celluIoid A comb and brush tray
is made by cutting piece Of cream col
ored celluloid, s by IL inches, and bend
ing the edges up an inch all around TO
form the sides The corners must be cut
so that the sides will turn up at an OBJ
fuse angle. Where the corners join the
celluloid is pierced with holes made by
the punch These are to be laced with
cord or ribbon when the tray is com
plete. Now, if you can paint or can get
some one to do it for you, lay on rich
yellow along the edges, shading it down
toward the center until it merges into
the cream of tho celluloid. While the
paint is wet dust it with diamond dust,
then allow it to dry. The tray can be
washed, even rubbed with a brush, to
cleanse it, but neither the paint nor the
diamond dust will come off.

tray in the same way or leave the cell

luloid plain if you prefer. A light blue
tray laced with dark blue cord or velvet
ribbon will stand ink spots well. A
blotter, consisting of several pieces OF
blotting paper fastened together, over
which is laid sheet of celluloid the
same size and decorated in oils, can be
given with the pen tray.
From squares Of celluloid, anywhere
from to 10 inches in size, may be
made several things for tables, cabinets
or bureaus. Fold the corners of the
square so they will meet in the center,
creasing them where folded. 1t is one
of the advantages of celluloid that it
can be creased very nicely. Lay sheet
of scented wadding in the square made
by the creases and over it some colored
india silk, loosely caught here and there
with stitches through the celluloid on
the bottom. Roll the tips of the corners
over on the outside and fasten with rib
bon the color of the silk This is also
used to fasten the sides in place at acute
angles to the bottom, or, if preferred,
they may be laced with it. As a bureau
case this can be used to lay manicure
tools in or for jewelry. As table orna-
ment it will hold photographs, if made
large enough, or letters, writing paper
or bits of fancy work.

A movement WAS started, Saturday,
which deserves the commentator Of
every resident Of Augusta. 1t was the
clearing away of the Heterogeneous debris
which In many cases has collected along
the river side, In the rear OF some OF the
offices and stores along Water street.
A huge bonfire did much to convert
large part Of the infiammable material,
and despite the rain of the day previous,
1t burned In highly satisfactory manner.
The people are evidently awaking to the
fact that the river banks, especially on
account of the coming city building, de-
mand some attention.

To the County Commissioners Or kenne

The undersigned respectfully represents
that in the year 1871 a widening of the county
road know as Sewall street, extended was
ordered and surveyed at certain point on
the westerly line of said road. and strip OF
land l6 rods long and so feet W de, belonging
the late husband Of the petitioner, Daniel
T. pike. de, eased. was taken for the purpose
and damages to the amount of $40 paid to
the said Daniel T. tike; but that this widen
iug has never been made of and indeed
has been forgotten and has remained unknown
to any one, until accidentally discovered in Oc-
tober 1895; that II it shall be maintained il will
cause the petitioner Sc ,ious loss since it will
slmost entirely destroy The value of five lots
of land across the easterly ends of which this
widening wholly or in part extends;
wherefore, your petitioner prsys that the
said widening NAV be discontinued and the
land occupied by it, restored to her upon re-
payment by her of the above mentioned land
damages OF $40. And she transmits herewith,
y copy of your records showing the location
and extent of said widening. and the pro coed
ings in connection with it: and also plan OF
the same, drawn by Mr.W.B. Getchell a surrey

information or explanation which you may
desire. CLIMENA NJ. IKE.
