CULBERsoN WELL BACKED.

That Ministerial Association of Texas
+ which to-day adopted resolution warmly
commencing the sturdy utteraDces of Gov.
Culberson in regard to the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight. viii excite widespread atten-
ton because it went farther than such as
sociations usually care to go.
In effect it declared that it and its ad-
herents would support the governor with
physical methods, if necessary, for the pre-
vention of the mill. The church, spiritual
and triumphant is not the only church in
Texas, evidently. The church militant
seems to hold a strong hand, if that phrase
so familiar 10 Texan ears be permitted.
Less than six weeks viii intervene before
the date of the Corbctt Fitzsimmons "physi.
cal culture exhibition" If the situation
grows warmer henceforth as it has during
the last few weeks there is no telling what
may happen. Blood is hot and feeling runs
high. Good people aresarrayed upon both
sides Judge Hurt declares there is no law
to prevent the fight. Gov. Culberson de-
clares he will prevent it under the common
law which prohibits disorderly assemblies.
Meanwhile the sporting fraternity are pro-
ceeding with perfect confidence that the
opposition will back down at the last
moment.

Saw a Wild Man.

A lot of boys playing in the woods at the
edge Of Westville, Conn.,, heard a tre-
mendous cracking in the underbrush, and
looking in that direction saw a mass OF
hair moving towards them. They stood
fast Soon the hair lifted itself above a
bush two feet away, and from its depths
two bright eyes peeped out at them. They
think it was man, entirely naked, his
long hair streaming about his shoulders
and mighty beard hanging from his
temples, cheeks and 1owb. With a
gruDt like a pigs the creature vanished
and the boys ran. Opinion is divided as
to whether it is real Connecticut Wild
man or Kansas statesman temporarily in
retreat and thinking about the silver
question.

WHAT THE ENGLISH THINK.
Such Athletic Beattngs as Saturday.
May Wipe Out Bunker Hi.

London, Sept. 22.-In commenting upon
the contest In New York on Saturday, be-
tween the teams of the London Athletic
Club and the New York Athletic Club the
Standard says:
at is impossible to conceive of anything
more disastrous than the experience OF
the English athletes. 1t would be pre-
posterOus to attempt to explain away such
a defeat"
The Daily News says: at is a comfort
to feel that one has been beaten fairly. The
victory OF the New York Athletic Club was
no chance victory. The more we have Of
these contests the better. Who knows that
Bunker Hill may not be wiped out by this
high jump"
The Daily Telegraph comments as follows
upon the contests: "The New Workers won
on their merits without a shadow of doubt
but the London Athletic Club may justly
feel that in this instance their reputation
was haZarded in highly unsatisfactory
manner. owing to the absence OF some of
their best men,"
The Chronicle says: "The unequal con-
ditions. owing TO the climate. is the only
consolation that can be extracted. The
beating is certainly without parallel in
the history OF International sport"

FIGHTING FOR TEMPERANCE.
Ami.Snloon League Mass-Meeting II
Foundry CtIurCh

Anti.Snloon League Mass-Meeting in
Foundry Church.
The services at the Foundry NJ. E.
Church yesterday afternoon were under
the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League.
Mr.. william H. Pennell was in charge,
and addresses were delivered by Judge
Anson s. Taylor and Rev. Walter Brooks,
of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church.
Mfr. Pennell opened the meeting with a
few introductory remarks, In the course
of which he pleaded for individual as
sistance in closing the saloons in this city.
He said that he thought the salOon-keepers
were fighting losing game, and that
Gods plan in downing this evil was work
ing gradually but admirably.
Judge Taylor delivered a red-hot temper
ance address. He read part of Major
Moore's report to the Commissioners for
the year ended June 80, 1894, which
tue population of the city, had been ar
rested. The speaker said that large
majority of these arrests were occasioned
by the use of Intoxicating liquor.
'.This> traffic." he said, sis as big an
evil as its father-the devfl-himself, and
We should all adopt the motto of the
Ant1SdiOon League, Iue SdIoOu must
Co."
Rev. DR.. Brooks expressed many decided
views of this saloon question, and told of
several excellent remedies for the evil.
He said that he thought every Christian
citizen in this city owed the colored people
q duty, for the majority of the people who
were arrested and compelled to suffer on
account of being addicted to the liquor
habit were colored people, at the mercy
of the white saloon-keeper. DE-. Brooks
thought that the day would soon come
when every saloon in the country would
be closed, but that day would never come
without a. struggle.
I'VE all have ctr part to perform" he
said, land in order to have that day soon
at hand we will all have to do our duty"

ANOTHER AMERICAN DUCHESS.


Less than week ago Mrs. Vanderbilt
denied that stories of her daughter's engage
ment to the Duke of Marlborough had a
grain of truth. Following closely this
denial the young duke formally announced
the engagement and last evening, as the
press dispatches say, Miss Consuela herself
saw the New York reporters and con-
firmed the dukes version of the matter.
The great public which has been forced
to bear the infliction of these reports, which
were assumed to be of International i'm
portance, viii now, it is to be hoped, be
relieved for some time to come of this
naugeating vanderbiltiana- The sum of
the whole affair is that the income OF the
house of Marlborough is too small to sup
port its pretensions.
The duke decided to follow in the foot
steps of that almost Incompatible old roue,
his father, who married the widow Ham
mersly under definite agreement that her
millions should repair fortunes which he
had tlissipated in notorious excesses. The
present duke appears to be an improvement
