"After Me, the Deluge."

The celebrated Metternich used the
pharse, after me, the deluge" as imply
ing that after him no statesman would be
able to preserve the peace Of Europe. But
the celebrated mot was not original with
him, as Mme Pompadour, mistress of
Louis XIV, who died nine years before
Metternich was born, was quoted as say
ing, "Apres nous, 10 deluge," and the
willy diplomatist only changed it to "Apres
moi" The idea did not originate with
her, quick witted though she was. Cicero
ascribes it to Roman emperor, and Mil
ton supplies the name: "They practice
that when they fall they may fall in a
general ruin, just as cruel Tiberius would
wish, When 1 die, let tho earth be rolled
In names.' '" "Reasons Of Church Gov

by the federal court. Judge Seaman to-
day entertaind the order substantially as
presented by the counsel for the Ameri-

overruled the objections. He agreed to d
modification of the decree of sale by the
insertion of the following:
This decree does not and shall not be
construed as passing fully upon the ques-
1ion of how many shares of stock of said
defendants are owned or controlled by

THE FRIENDSHIPS or wOa.sa.
An English Esssyist Makes Some Terrible
Statements About Them.

Take, again, the friendship of one wom-
an for another when both stand upon the
same moral and social level. 1t is in nine
cases out of ten devoid of the obligations
of loyalty and honor which are inherent in
the friendship between one man and an
other. There is less reserve in it and also
less sincerity, for u woman will reveal her
heart of hearts to friend and quarrel with
her the next day because she has pirated
her bonnet or alienated an admirer. Such
relations never become stable or sacred be-
tween women, for they are apt to begin by
chance, proceed with passion and die at
breath. Even at fever heat woman
never gives as much to another as she
gives to her lightest lover, and at any mo-
ment she is ready to sacrifice her friend at
the behest of any man in whom she is
momentarily interested. For his enter
tainment she will betray any confidence
without scruple or regret, even IL sho
refrains from denouncing her feminine
friend to the first conner as soon as a shad-
ow of misunderstanding has arisen be-
tween them.
In the lives of most mon there are only
one or two friendship bonds, riveted by
years of intercourse, which nothing but
undreamed of treachery can sever. Wom-
en-, on the other hand, make and discard
friends with equal facility. If they are
seldom true to men, their fidelity to their
own sex is rarer far, for there are no Da-
vids and Jonathans among women, no
friendships founded on mutual faith and
held in honor. Until woman learns to
conduct her relations with her own sex on
the same principle as that on which men
act the sisterhood of woman will never
come within measurable distance of the
possible. She has learned SO much from
man in this decade that it is not unreason-
able to hope she may yet learn the true
character of friendship as we'll as the pol
icy of combination. Whom woman stands
shoulder to shoulder with her sister in
public ana in private life, she will stand
at the very gates of her kingdom, abreast
of that ''brave vibration, each way free"

double murder in which Max Noack AM
Ora Minter, alias Hazel Hammond, lost
their lives. An important find was made
in the discovery of an imprint OF Il mans

the bodies were found, and an exit TO
the alley below not noticed before. A
hammer which appears to have human
blood on it was also found. 1t is now

robbery as the motive, is regarded as
fully confirmed.
Late this afternoon warrants were
sworn out charging Maud Hoyte and Dan

both placed under arrest. The officers
have become convinced that Max Noack

tity is yet unknown, for the purpose of
robbery.

AUSTIN, Tex. Aug. q. To-day At

opinion on the statutes governing riots,
etc, and argues that as the fighters, with
all those in attendance. will certainly be

that under the law the sheriff or any
sworn peace officer is bound to disperse
said assem- blage at any cost. As to the
question of killing those who interfere

Decree Filed at LeaXenMorth

TOPEKA. Kan, A lg. 27.-The decree
ordering the sale of the Santa Fe railroad
was not entered at Topeka today, as was
expected, but was filed this afternoon at
Leavenworth in the office of the clerk of
the United States circuit court. Every
thing was in readiness for Judge Caldwell
to take the necessary steps, here, but the
point was raised by General Solicitor Peck
that as this term of court was an ad
journed session OF the June term, which
was to have been held at Leavehworth,
the whole proceedings might be illegal
if the entry were made here instead OF at
Leavenworth. Accordingly Judge Cald-
well and the court and railroad officers
here left in special train for Leaven-

decree is a long document and leaves to

Judge johnson says that some day dur

BOSTON, Aug. 27.-George Dixon, the
coloreu lightweight of Boston, was given
the decision this evening over Johnny
Griffin, the 'Braintree lad, at the end of
a twenty-five round match, held under
the auspices of the Farragut club, in the
new Tenth street armory
The decision was a surprise to major
ity OF the 5000 people present, it having
been believed that there was to be no de-
cision if both men were on their feet at
the end of the twenty fifth round, unless.
perhaps. if there should.be a decided differ
ence in the condition of the fighters.
Both men were certainly in the best of
condition at the end of the twenty-hfth
round, although Dixon bad done the
most work. Griffin surprised his friends
by the manner in which he took Dixon :
punishment. Dixon was seconded by
Tom O'Rourke and Maurice Kelly. At
tending Griffin were Eddie Conlin and
James Robinson. Both men weighed IN
this afternoon at l26 pounds.
In the first round Dixon started in ap-
parently to eiIu up the fight quickly and
landed heavily twice. Grittn was forced
to the ropes at the end of the third and
was sent down bv right handler on the
jaw, but he got up again and pulled OIL
the round by clncbing. Throughout the
fifth round Dixon continued on the ag
gressive. Dixon landed left on the nose
and sneaked in right. When the men
clnched Griffin tucked into terrific up
percut. Both exchanged rights and lcfts
before the END of the round.
In the sixth Griffin partly closed
Dixon's left eye.
The seventh WAS terrific one, Dixon
repeatedly jobb;ng Griffin in the face.
in the tenth It was appreGt the winner
must do some lively work to get decis'
ion. Dixon was continually planning
his fight Oh this line, while Gritin's fine
training was manifest in his ability to
stand up under severe punishment. Up
TO the fifteenth round the pace was Il hot
one; then both men eased up for the
next five.
In TIE twentieth Griffin changed his
tactics and swung hard with his right,
landing on Dixon. Both men began to
show the effects of their work and the
next two rounds were slow.
In the twenty-second round Dixon tried
hard for a knock out. but did not suc-
coed. The remaining rounds were COM
paratively tame, ana it was apparent that
Griffin had lots OF fight in him.
For the preliminary there we're eight
rounds of hard fighting between johnny
Briggs of Waltham and Nick Doberty of
Boston. In the seventh Doherty was
knocked down twice. but as both men
were up at the end OF the eighth the bout
was declared dIaw.
