FIRST-CLASS FIGHT.
In Which McCarthy Puts Layton to Sleep in the Third Round
 With Ease.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2.-A States spe-
 cial from Galveston, Tex, says; The Lay
 ton-McCarthy fight occurred tonight at
 the Fremont opera house and was wit
 messed by about 800 people, who sat in the building, which was very cold, two long hours before the contestants put in an ap-
 pearance. There were quite number of
 visitors from the interior to witness the fight.
 After several sparring exhibitions be- tween local pug gilists, Jam es Dolan referee,
 stepped to the center of the ring and stated that the fighters would appear in their places u five minutes.
 It was then 10:10 exactly ,and at 10:15 Me- Carthy entered the ring with his seconds, closely followed by Layton and his sec onds.
 No time was lost from then on. Referee Dolan introduced the fighters to the audi ence, and stated that Mccarthy had agreed to put Layton out in ten rounds for purse of S750 and 75 per cent of the gate reeeipts. Immediately after the introduction the gong sounded. The mill commenced and the audience soon forgot the cold weather. In the first round Mccarthy clearly proved he was there to win; Layton acted On the defensive. Mccarthy succeeded in landing twice, once with stiff punch in the face with his left and then with a right hand swing on Layton's jaw.
 The second round started off lively.
 McCarthy landed some powerful blows until be let drive a left-hander that hoored Layton, who stayed down until the referee had counted nine when he got up and made feeble attempt to ward off another one of McCarthy's punches. The gong saved him and he went to his corner very groggy.
 In the third round Mccarthy was just as gay as when he started in and he dealt Layton a number of terrible blows, catch Ing him on the left side of his neck-with his left and knocked him down with his right. This was the knock-ou blow, Layton not recovering until after the ref cree counted him out. Just at this juncture several in the audience shouted foul, but 1t was not foul, it was simply McCarthy's superiority of strength.
 Billy McCarthy is from Australia, but recently from New Orleans. He came here during the Creedon Bernau fight with Pro- lessor John Duffy, the referee from New Orleans. He has a record of 100 fights, and never lost but one.
 Layton is well known, having travelled all over the United States with his sparring partner, Tommy Doyle. The fight was first class all the way through.

THE HISTORY OF oulNlNe.
How the Use of the Drug Supplanted the
 Practice of Bleeding Patients.


 Practice of Bleeding Patients.
 In 1880, when the French were conduct ing campaign of conquest in Algeria, the mortality among the troops and colo nists there was frightfuL France was being continually called upon for fresh leyles or men and youths to supply this terrible loss, chiefly through fever incidental to the climate and the life the French in AL geria were leading. At that time the prac. tice of bleeding still prevailed. 'Bleed them until they are white" was the in junction which Broussais, the medical master of tho French, gave to his followers when the condition of the soldiers was re- ported to him. At Bona in one year, out of an effective force of $500 men, l, 100 died of illness in the hospital.
 At that time the effects of 0 sulphate of quinine were known, but few physicians ventured to employ it. Maillot had inter- ested himself in the new remedy, and go- ing to Bona in the medical service of the government he resolved to see if it would not reduce the frightful mortality, which was to every 3k men who entered the hospital. At first he employed the quinine merely as an adjunct to tho bleeding He soon found that bleeding was killing the men, and that quinine was saving them. Little by little he loft off bleeding, to the great scandal of the medical profession. Exactly in proportion as the bleeding ceased the deaths In the hospital decreased In two years the deaths fell off from in 8X , of all who entered the hospital to in 26 and finally to in AS.
 Maillot quite naturally enough grew to be tho opponefit of bleeding, but he was so ceaselessly vilifed by members of the med ical profession that he became frnbittered toward his colleagues. Nearly 30 years passed before Maillot saw the complete triumph of his ideas. Doctors continued to bleed their patients heartily for all manner of ills But in 1860 Maillot was made commander of tho Legion of Honor and chief of the medical staff of the French army, and his influence with others in bringing about virtual revolution in the practice of medicine was fully recognized --Pearson's Weekly.

 Hezekiah Butterworth, in 'The Patri- otic Schoolmaster, says the first person to fall in the war of the Revolution was not Crispus Attucks, but boy If At tuoxs, who fell by an accidental encoun. ter, merits monument as the first who fell for liberty, 80 does this boy.
 There were a few merchants'in in Boston who continued to sell taxed articles. They came to be despised and hated. The boys, in their hasty patriotism, made on pla- card a list of. the names of those who im- ported and sold prescribed articles and put it on a pole that bore wooden head and hand. They set this image up before an importers door, with the wooden hand pointing toward 1t, and this made the im- porter angry, and he fired musket into the crowd of boys. Christopher Gore aft. erward governor of Massachusetts, was slightly wounded.
 Little Christopher Snyder, boy whose mother was widow, and who had fol lowed the spirit of the times fell mortally wounded. They took up bis form and bore it away, and the whole city wept Nevor in America was there boys funeral like his. They made for him a patriot 'sNcoffiD and bore his form to the Liberty Tree, which stood near the present corner of Washington and Essex streets. On the coffin was this motto, Innocence itself is not safe." The boys of nearly all tho schools some 500 in number, gathered around the body as an escort. The bells tolled, business was closed, and some 1, ,500 people followed the first martyr to the grave.

A TONE OF UNCERTAINTY

CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 2.--The tone is calmer here tonight, but the position is still wholly uncertain. It is generally felt that Guatemala is not financially able to pay considerable indemnity to Mexico. Furthermore an agreement to pay an in- demnity would ruin President Barrios po- litically. Hence 1t is claimed war must ensue unless Mexico foregoes large por- ton of her claim. The negotiations have exceeded the critical point and public declaration of Mexico's intentions Is daily expected. Meanwhile the ministers here to the real position. The opinion among the foreign diplomats here inclines to the belief that war will be avoided. The Sal- vadorian minister, MT. Jacinto Castello, was cordially received by the president this morning.

USED TO RACE HORs ES,

But Now He is Preacher of the Gospel.
H. NJ. Towards home is at Norton,
Kan, but he has lately come to Topeka:
and will probably settle here.
A few months ago he was converted,
and now he has given UP the race track,
of which he was an ardent follower, and
is going to devote his life to the saving
of souls to the creed of the Wesleya an
Methodists.
To a STATE JOURNAL reporter Mr..
Howard said: Il have followed horse
racing all nv life, but short time ago
got religion, and now Pm working for
the Wesleyan Methodists. They call me
the converted horse racer"
Mr.. Howard, and his brother, E. W.

morning to ask of him the privilege Of
holding a street meeting up town for a
few evenings. The captain granted them
the privilege and they went away smil-

There is one thing about these meet

wrong. l know they do not intend to.
Then a speaker has to be so careful
what he says. There are a thousand
little things that should not be printed
until the speaker has an opportunity to
correct the manuscript. 1t is all right
at a big formal affair but at place like
this the reporters ought to be kept out
have to be so careful what l say" He
smiled as he said this but looked as if he
meant it.
Then Senator Ingalls, talked of Judge
Caldwell and other men he knew.
Judge Caldwell is all right" said the
senator, "his sentiments about annexing
this country to Canada are correct. It
ough to be done if we can not make our
own financial system England has
hers"
The conversation was ended by
the driver stopping abruptly at the depot
platform. The senator alighted, and
with wave of his hand he was gone
and in few moments was on his way to
his home in Atchison.

How the Small Boys Made Watory Spec
tacIe at the Park.
The most fun that occurred at Garfield
park yesterday was furnished by the
boys aud the ducks in Soldier creek.
Five large ducks, full grown and wild
as a March hare, were thrown in the
middle of the stream. With wild squawk-
ing and futtering of wings the fowls
took down the stream ahead of a dozen
little arabs who had plunged in the
creek after them, minus all clothes save
shirt and trousers.
After brief naval engagement the
ducks took to land, where they were
easily captured with one exception. This
sage old philosopher saw his disadvan-
tage and waddled back into his native
heath again. Here be led the fighting,
squabbling crowd of boys a merry chase,
now diving, now half flying over the top
of the water. but at length succumbed to
superior forces Hundreds on the banks
enjoyed the fun.
