New Orleans, June S.-If there has been
any lingering doubt that prize fighting is
at an end in this city, that doubt has
been finally removed by the action of the
final knockout blow TO the sport by its
action in refusing a rehearing of the
olympic clubs case The case was first
brought in the civil court BY the attor-
ney general against the club, that Off
Ger swore out an injunction to prevent a
fight taking place and asked that the
charter OF the club be forfeited. on the
ground that It mad been violated by al
loving prize fighting. The jury decided
favorably to the club The supreme court
passed on the case and held that the char
Ter Of the club could not be forfeited for
the reasons given, but remanded the suit
with instructions to the lower court to
strike out some of the expert testimony
given, and upon which the jury mad de-
cided that the club was not violating the
law in giving the Sullivan-Corbett and
other fights.
Judge RICHTER struck out the testimony
and then decided that the club could con
Lnue 70 give fights under the state law
Inc state again took the matter to the
supreme court and that tribunal rendered
a decision positively prohibiting any more
o lights between professionals and for
ing. To-day the court decided to refuse a
hearing, which ends the matter

The Figure on the Chicngo Monument
From the Springfield iMassN Rennhlican

The executive committee Of the national
association of union ex-prisoners of war
is unduly exercised over the design of the
bronze soldier on the confederate monu-
ment unveiled in Chicago. This resolution
embodied its protest: 'F@Hf
The Camp Douglas confederate received
a gift of clothes and boots on. leaving and
often some OF those departing carried an
extra pair of boots slung over his shout
der When, therefore, with the knowledge
of these facts, the unarmed ragged rep
resentative confederate on the monument
purports to represent the prisoner in the
camp, and the scene on the tablet that of
the dying prisoner the union ex-prisoner
rebels at what he knows TO be a peryer-
sion of the truth
The facts are that the bronze soldier is
intended to represent a typical confeder-
ate infantryman Just after the Surrender.
and for that reason ne Is made to wear
his trousers thrust into the tops of his
stockings as was the custom in the con-
federate infantry, to keep out the dust.
The clothing is ragged, c. cousse, for every
one knows that the "Johnnies" weren't
kept spruce and well set'up BY the Davis
government. According to minute de-
scriptions printed in the Chicago news
papers. there is nothing in the statue Or
the panels that reflects at all.upon the
management of the federal prison.

VIII ne bents
From the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, May N.-Ever since some
wag put afioat the story that the Presl-
dent had given sum of money to the
parents of twins or triplets, the white
house mail has been filled with letters
of application on that score, and It is es-
tmated that at least. $4,000 day might
be disbursed there at the rate of $500 to
each applicant. A sample of the kind Of
letters that come in the mail to the Presi-
dent is the following, which is sent by a
man in Texas:
Mr.. President Cleveland: Dear Sir-I
see you are giving $500 for twins Please
send me 800 right away, for l am going
to get married this week to girl that is
a twin. ! need the money to start house
keeping with. have always been a DEM
ocrat. / voted for you the first time and
will vote for you again and name the twins
after you. Don't dlsappoint me-"
In another case a woman writes that she
has failed after waiting a year TO get. that
$500 that the President is said to give to
the parents of triplets, and nov she is
willing to compromise on the basis Of the
little Cleveland. The clerks at the white
house do not permit any of these illusions
to reach the President, and they are not
even dignihed with an answer now
that they have been so numerous and san-
noying. There Is not word of truth in
that the President has ever allowed such
bounties.

ton in Spite of the Committee.
St. Louis. Mo-, June 3.-The refusal of
the state democratic committee to issue
call for a convention to discuss the hnan-
cial question has aroused the Indignation
of the rank and file of the democrats
throughout the state, and kilograms are
pouring onto Chairman Fancy of Lebanon
county, the home of Hon. r. p Bland, urg-
ing him to call a convention without re-
gard to the action of the state committee
Chairman Moffit and the members of the
state committee who voted against the
convention proposition are being roundly
scored by numbers of democratic news
papers and prominent politicians, who de-
clare the committee meeting was of the
star chamber" character, inasmuch as
it was held behind locked doors, and none
but members of the committee were per-
mitted to be present. The claim is made
that the action Of the committee Is due to
the fact that Chairman Moffit is a capt.
talist, banker and politician, and intimate
that the influence of eX-Gov. Francis who
is regarded as the Missouri lieutenant of
President Cleveland on a number of the
state committee, was such as to control
their votes at their adjourned meeting on
last Saturday. 1t is assured however,
that state democratic convention will be
held before July !.

may be necessary at this time why re-
duce the scrapers? They should be aug
mented If anything. We are now forced
to have all our windows open for com

Chicago, June 3.-Judge Showalter, in
the United States court this morning
rendered decision in the demurrer of
the reorganization committee OF the whis-
ky trust to the bill of injunction of the
Central Loan and Trust Company for an
Injunction under the bond mortgage. The
court held that the property in the hands
of the receiver was being conserved and
that it was subject to the mortgage lien;
that there were no allegations that the
receiver would not conserve the property,
and therefore the court refused the in
junction prayed for. The court also re-
fused to appoint a separate receiver for
the bondholders as requested his ground
receiver is taking good care of the prop
erty and should not be interfered with.
