BOOM FOR PUG|L|SML
Reception rendered Peter
Maher at Madison
Square Garden.
ALL KINDS OF BOXING.
Stars Of the Lesser Magnitude
Punished Each Other to the
Delight Of Beholders.
THERE WAS A FINAL FROST.
Kisses for the Man of the Emerald
Costume Whose Work Was
Disappointing.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. %. - The
reception rendered to Peter Maher at
Madison-square Garden tonight devel-
oped into one of the greatest demonstra-
tions seen IN connection with pugilism
since the days of John L. Sullivan
When the regular programme opened
with bag-punching competition, soon
after O'Clock, every seat in the great am
phitheater was filled and the greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed.
The bag proved too lively for the first
few punchers, but when the experts took
a hand they soon reduced it to submission.
Jimmy Handler OF Newark showed all his
customary cleverness and little more,
and proved an easy winner of the compe-
tition. Kid Mccoy was second.
The boxingbouts were for the most part
exhibitions of The tamest pattern, and
were between Danny Mcbride and Jack
Grace of New York, Martin Joyce and P.
Cronin of Brooklyn, and Harry Woods of
San Francisco and Charlie Miner of New
York.
Things assumed more lively COM

plexion, however, when J. Caulfield and
George Justice of New York appeared.
They smashed each other in lively style
and acted as effective curtain-raisers for
the first pair of stars, Peter Lowrey OF
Dublin and Young Critic Of Australia.
The pair put up good give-and-take con-
test during the three rounds.
The brothers Casper and Benny Leon
spared neat bout and were followed by
John l.. Mitchell of Brooklyn and Kid Nc
Coy of Astoria. The bout was unpopu-
larly dull until the final rally, when Nc
Coy swung his right across lightly and got
dangerously near chance knockout.
Tim Murphy and Johnny German, the
oId-timers, were introduced, but the up-to-
date talent were more demonstrative over
the rattling bout between Frank Erne OF
Buffalo and his pupil, Frank Zimpher. 1t
was fast, clean and stirring exhibition
and the boys were generously applauded.
The rival "spiders," Tommy Kelly of
Harlem and Ike Weir of Boston, were the
next pair.
Young Critic then reappeared for an
extra bout with his countryman. Paddy
German. The latter was put on instead Of
Mike Leonard. German kept Critic going
at his best pace for three rounds, and i'm.
parted just enough ginger to tickle the
audience without having the bout stopped.
About II o'clock ripple of excitement
preceded the appearance of Maher, who
was cheered to the echo as he stepped into
the ring clad in his customary emerald
green costume.
Then Announcer Burns came forward
and apologized for the absence of Jim Hall
and Jim Dwyer, two of the men billed to
meet Maher. The temper OF the audience
changed in moment and perfect storm
of misses broke out as Maher fooled with
Billy Woods OF Denver for three brief
rounds. Maher's regular partner, Peter
Burns OF Harlem, then appeared to wind
up with the beneficiary.
Maher's showing with his opponents to-
night did not altogether suit his admirers
and many left the building before the last
bout was half over.

unnaskIne THE TURKS.
.. The Armenian 0utrages Appear More Brutal
and Horrible Upon Investigation.

London, March 1.-THE Telegraph has
a dispatch sent from Moosh at date not
given and forwarded from kars, Thurs
day. 1t says the commissioners have
learned that the Armenian priest, Hats
chadoor, and his son, were ordered by
gendarnes to sign document ascribing
the massacre to the kurls and clearing
the Turks of all blame The Hatscha
doors refused to do So The gendarmes
then placed heated triangles around their
necks. The commission desire to examine
the two victims, but they are too ill.
The Turkish government tried every
means TO compel the survivors of the mas
sacre to return TO their respective villages
and rebuild the huts. They promised
money, seed corn, exemption from taxes
and the restitution of property. Nearly
all refused and consequently were terribly
treated. Some returned and now are lit
orally starving if not dead Many who
were wealthy and respectable are now in
abject poverty.
The correspondent quote an instance of
villagers virtually naked and subsisting
on millet seed. The stock of seed. he
says, must have given out fortnight
ago. These people have no hope of help,
he says, and are probably dying or dead. If
assistance be sent through the delegates in
Moosh or the American missionaries in
Bitlis, continues the correspondent,
- some lives may be saved" He writes
OF girls of II, six daughters of victims of
the massacre, who returned to Semal half
naked and died without food or fire in a
hut at night during snow storm. He
names six villages where the few survivors
of the massacre are starving.
Lord Kimberly, minister of foreign
affairs, has refused to receive dcputation
which called upon him to enlist his official
sympathy with a movement to inquire
into the treatment of Christian prisoners
in Turkish jails.

Profit in Clean Culture.

There is no garden operation pays bet
ter than that Of frequent cultivation.
This is well known to those of experience
but to the young beginner it is not, and
without n trial it is hard for him or any
one to understand it. 1t is not alone
that a crop of weeds means that two crops
are being fed instead Of one. This is evil
enough but when weeds are allowed to
grow, it implies that no stirring oil the
soil is being done, and the harm thus
done is fully equal to that of the robbing
of food by the weeds. AS soon rs crops
are large enough that cultivation can com
mence it should DO done and be kept up
until the crop commences to ripen, when
IL may stop The field that is made fami-
liar with the hoe harrow from carly spring
to late fall may be said to never suiter
from the summer heat. The plants III 1t
start to grow carly and continue ON TIL
the end. Some years ago a case came un-
der my notice which is worthy of mention
A neighbor had set out field OF young
trees. The soil and preparations were
alike in all parts of it, and there was 10
difference in the trees. One half OF 1t
was sown to wheat, tho other half was
cultivated regularly throughout the sea
son. At the close of the season, though
the trees We're but one year planted, there
was u marked difference i'll favor OF the
cultivated portion. The owner expected
to find some, but not So much as there
was. In root crops THE same result has oil
ten been observed. Carrots, potatoes and
similar crops will yield moro than double
when we'll cultivated. In dry seasons the
hoo harrow is the farmers friend. In
right soils, which soon lose their mols-
turc, the only hope Of saving his crop the
farmer has lies in frequent cultivation

Farm Notes.

The establishment of creameries has
done much to enlighten the farmers.
They have been compelled to give some
consideration to the breeds of cattle, to
use better implements in the dairy, and
to produce better butter in order to com
plete for the highest prices. Those who
patronize the creameries have lessened
their labor, and combined several other
pursuits with the keeping of good COWS.
On farms where formerly only milk and
butter were sold there is now a diversity
of crops, and varied products are shipped
to mar ket. %
One of the drawbacks to fruit growing
is the fact that farmers economize at. the
beginning. They buy from tree peddlers
of worthless varieties until they begin to
bear, but as several years will then have
been lost the mischief can not be repaired,
and work must be done over again. Do
not buy trees from any but known and
reliable nurserymen, and do not refuse
choice trees because the prices are appar-
entity high. BE sure of good trees first
and then begin the economy afterwards.
Instructive experiments are now being
conducted at the Royal Agricultural Col
lege, Circncester, England, to determine
the value of various kinds of fertilizers.
The result of the experiments carried out
last year with oats on twenty-four plots
of ground differently treated showed that
the smallest yield of grain was from the
unmauurcd plots, the plots receiving am
mouium salts and the plots receiving
cineral manures only. The highest yield
of grain was from the plots which had re-
cciyed fourteen tons OF farm yard manure
every year since 1885, followed by the
plots receiving cinerals and mineral
nitrogen, and phosphates and mineral
nitrogen The largest amount Of straw
was also given by plots which had received
the largest amount of farm yard manure
annually, and next by those receiving
mineral nlUroSsu anu pHoSphaueS. 1t
Withholding of potash appeared to make
little or no difference in the yield OF
straw, but the lessening of the amount OF
phosphates used was plainly shown in the
quantity of straw. The unmanured and
cineral MANFRED plots gave the least
straw.
Where the best crops are produced
weeds never gain q foothold, and never
have a chance to grow. This law is uni
versal. Weeds do little injury to good
farms, and on the contrary good farming
exterminates weeds. This fundamental
truth should be taken into consideration
whenever the country becomes agitated
over some now weed.

WHEN TO LEAVE.
At Dinner Parties, BALLS and other Social
Functions.

There is an unwritten regulation timo
for departure as well ms u written ono I'M
derstood by those whose aim IL Is to be
thoroughly up to date. Intimate friends
and relatives arc outside of this punctilio,
and whether they are tho first TO arrive
and tho last to leave, or contrariwise, they
have little fear of feeling do trop. Such
misgiyings arc only experienced by those
who do not feel ut home at tho houses
where they visit and d. OF, SO to speak,
know their world.
At homo days arc occasions when savoir
faire is put TO tho test the matter OF de-
parture. Some have little judgnonS
with regard To this that experience mover
serves them in good stead The regulation
conventional timo for call on an "at
home" day is about 90 minutes, but this
can be heightened out to half an hour or
40 minutes, circumstances being favorable,
or shortened to ton minutes when tho
position is distinctly unfavorablo to q
longer stay.
When to rako leave at dinner party
requires n little judlcious decision. The
fact of having ordered the carriage Mt u

ton, but not altogether So Tho custom

Intimate terms at a house. Tho departures
after dinner party arc made almost ST.
multancously, the guests literally follow

"Whon to leave" at a ball Is very
elastic rule, which varies to suit tho cir
cumstanccs Of tho case. To leave as soon
after supper as may bo or to stay until a
ball is actually over Is an equally correct
course to follow. At small dances the
guests leave almost rs collectively as ut
dinner parties and commence TO take
leave when tho last dance Is going on,
those dancing following tho lead, while
some few still remain for an extra dance
or so, tho majority taking leave about

At receptions and evening parties the
