WAS NO PRIZE FIGHT.
The Police Chase a Party OF
Pugilists
Is FAR As CALHOUN BLUFF.

They Catch Up With Them In Time to
Prevent the Fight.
The prize fight between Wade Watts
of Topeka and Pat Rodgers was set for
yesterday, but the police followed the
party and the event was declared off.
Chief Wilkerson and Captain Gardiner
joined in singing Capulefs air from the
ELS Romeo and Juliet:
Stop. boys stop your little fighting,
Rioting like this has no excuse;
You must stop your little row.
It's thing can't allow
And / telI you that 1 own a calabooSe.
The fighters left North Topeka at
about 10 o'clock in 'Pegleg" Kolrs hack.
Gardiner and Wilkerson were in the
latter's buggy behind swift horse, and
the gang was followed at a safe distance.
When the gang had gone six miles east
of the city, another detail of sports
drove up swiftly behind the police, and
they were not discovered until it was too
late for the officers to conceal their
identity. Chief Wlkerson drove up a
lane to allow the last crowd to pass, and
they soon caught up with the hack and
told the doleful news shat "the hatties is
next" They decided after considerable
debate that "they amt no use to pull off
the fight now.'
uIS was u0dE O&IuOQu DIun,
few rods of the line between shawnee
and Jefferson counties. The sports had
intended to drive just ever the line,
knowing the authority of the Topeka Of
fcers could not touch them.
But there was a presentimsnt that the
sheriff of Jefferson county was also how
ering around in the timber somewhere
and this cast a gloom over the pugilistic
enthusiasm. By this time Chief Wilker-
son and Captain Gardiner had driven up.
They 'joshed', the boys for supposing
they could get out of town without the
police knowing it.
One of the hackers offered to allow the
officers to see the fight if they would
agree not to arrest them, but this was no
inducement
After considerable more debate the
pugilists gave Instructions to drive back
to town, and they were followed by Chief
Wilkerson and Captain Gardiner the
whole distance to make sure they didn't
slip away and shave it out"

Catholics Throughout the World to Hold

Its Restoration.
ST. LOUIS. Sept. a-Twenty-five

will offer prayers to the Almighty for
the peace and final triumph of the

see. To this end bishops and archbishops
of various dioceses have promulgated
orders for special services in all the
churches in the diocese, and Arch
bishop Kahn says, in addition, that

QUAY TRIUMPHANT.
Pennsyivanis Republicans Heartily Indoors

Pennsyivanis Republicans Heartily Indorss
Him and Pay Homage to His Leader
ship.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 29.-The re-
publican state convention met here
yesterday and unanimously agreed up
on the following ticket: State chair
man, NJ. s. Quay: state treasurer, Ben
j. Haywood; superior court judges
(six TO be electsd) James A. Beaver, z.
n. Willard, Charles E. Rice, George b.
Orlady, John j. Wickham and Howard
Reeder.
Senator Quay is the hero, as well rs
the idol of Pennsylvania politicians of
all degrees of prominence. His rooms
at the Lochiel hotel have been con-
stautly besieged since the convention
ended by men calling to pay homage
70 his matchless leadership. The sem
ator takes all of the praise and con-
CALCULATIONS that are being showered
upon him with his usual stoicism, and
so far as outward appearances go his
demeanor is just the same as when the
fight seemed to be going against him.
An incident of the day was the offer
ing by Senator Quay of resolution
calling for the publication of politics
and civil service IN all branches of the
public service. which was afterward
embodied in the platform. The reso-
lutions reiterate the financial plank Of
the last republican national conven-
ton, denounce the democratic ad.
ministration's tariff and foreign
policies and the Wilson law, de-
clare for high protection and
praise Senator Quay for his course in
the last congress. The final plank was
Senator Quay's reform resolution as
presented by him. The anti-Quay
minority. led by Congressman Dalzell,
fought for more definite expression
IN favor of sound money, and
being outvoted in committee
brought their fight to the con-
vention and here carried their point
without much opposition. Senator
Quay accepting their plank as an adj
dition to the one in his platform. The
resolutions were prepared by men OPP
posed to Gov. Hastings and the matter
of indorsing his administration was
very nearly overlooked, delegate
finally Offering the necessary plank

EUGENE AND HER SON.

She Was Severe with the Prince Imperial,
But Napoleon Was Over-Indulgent.
The empress was extremely agree
able and good natured. but there was
no softness in her character. Even
with regard 20 those dearest TO her
the emperor and her son-she was in
fiuenced more by a chivalrous, ro-
mantle ideal than by any natural ten
derness- Her aim was to show herself
a Roman wife and mother. and this led
her on many occasions TO sort of ap-
be misjudged.
The little prince was spoiled to ex-
cess by his father: his mother natu-
rally wished to counterbalance the lat
ter's over-indulgence. but she was not
always judicious in her energetic IN
reference. One instance may be
quoted among many. The very first
time that the little prince, mere baby
between three and four years old, was
seated on a pony. the equerry, NJ.
BaehOn, was carefully holding him and
leading the pony step by step, when
suddenly the empress came up, indig-
nantly declaring that she would not
have such absurd petting, and con-
Guiding by giving a cut of her whip
TO the pony. which started off.
6achon, terrified, uttered an energetic
expletive, succeeded in stopping the
