seconded by Tom O'Rourke and Maui

men We're weighed in this afternoon
al 126 pounds.
In the nrst round Dixon started in
apparently to end up the fight quickly
and landed heavily twice. Griffin was
forced to the ropes a the end of the
third, and was sent down by right
handler on the jaw, but he got up
again and pulled OFF The round by
clinching. Throughout the fifth round
Dixon continued on the aggressive.
Dixon landed left on the nose and
sneaked in a right. When the men
clinched Griffin ducked into a terrific
upper cut. Both exchanged rights and

In the sixth Griffin partly closed
Dixon's left eye. The seventh was a
terrific one, Dixon repeatedly jabbing
Griffin in the face. In the tenth it was
apparent the winner must do some
lively work to get a decision. Dixon
was continually planning. his fight on
this line, while Griffin's fine training
was manifest in his ability to stand up
under severe punishment. Up to the
fifteenth round the pace was a, hot
one, then both men eased up for the
next five. In the 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-third Dixon tried hard
for a knockout. but he did not sue

comparatively tame, and it was ap-
parent that Griffin had lots of fight in
him.
For the preliminary there were eight
rounds of hard fighting between
Johnny Briggs of Waltham and Mick
Doherty 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 a draw.

Commissioner Kibb4 left here

of the different constructions

commissioner takes the ground
that the citizen ship questl N
must be uppermost in constru
ing the law. He believes the
popular wish is that way and
he has ruled that each individ

have a license in his own name
and be a citizen of this country.

News from Dallas is to the
effect that there is no let mp in
preparations to have the Cor
bett-Fitzzimmons fight pulled
off as advertised. and there is
a growing suspicion that Gov.
Culberson is winking at the
whole business. When Ross
was governor and Sullivan and

Texas, he emphatically warned
them and their abettors that
the moment fhier feet touched
Texas soil be would arrest and
land the whole tea party in
Jail, and he SC Instructed the
sheriff and the captain of a
military company. He was
going to promptly make arrests
before the fight and test his
authority 10 do so afterwards.
The fighters believed what he
said, all preparations ceased
then and there and they slip

spite OF a clustering governor

Il was the same way in Florida

ernor actually ordered out the
militia but made no arrests IN

STURGEON FISHING.
Landing These Monsters is Work
for Able-BOdied Men.

Landing These Monsters In Work
for Able-BOdied Men.
The fishermen along the river at
Essex and Saybrook are now engaged
In sturgeon fishing. Few are aware
Of the methods used to catch this mon
ster of the waters, for monster it
surely is, often weighing 600 pounds
or more. The sturgeon fisherman is
compelled to use good judgment and
master his prey when caught, for the
fish are desperate as well as powerful.
The net is Of the same style as an
ordinary fishing seine, the meshes be-
ing fourteen inches square of twenty
seven thread twine. This thread will
not be sufficient to hold the fish when
caught, because of it's great strength
and shape, but no sooner is he caught
in the seine than it becomes entangled
in the loose twine, and the work of
landing him in the fishing boat begins.
The fishermen know when the fish
is in the net, for the seine corks begin
to sink and dance on the water as
though electrified. The fishermen in
gradually haul in what is known as
the cork line, and the monster is raised
until the lantern reveals Its position.
Then the hatchet is used on its head
with repeated blows, after which the
fish Is allowed to remain submerged
for time until life is thought to be
extinct. But the isfer,nen are often
deceived, for the sturgeon may have
been playing 'possum, as Mr.. Daniels
and Mate Brockway Of Hamburg will
testify.
They recently had a midnight en-
counter with 45O-pound sturgeon,
which, after being safely landed in
the boat. came to life in good shape,
and proceeded to take charge not only
Of the boat but of the crew, In such a
manner that the frightened fishermen
started their boat for shore and finally
reached 1t, but neither was able to
tell how, SO excited were they. The
fish lived two hours ond wasted no
time; it succeeded in breaking two of
the boards and one oar, as we'll as
tearing the sail, which was slowed in
the forward part of the boat. This
fish was considered one of the most
desperate kind Of the sturgeon species,
being known as the "bull-nose," which
does not often leave salt for fresh
water.
LII gone-by shqd-fshing days, when a
sturgeon got in seine with shad it
was always sure to liberate the whole
catch by tearing large hole in what
is called the "bust." These fish are
always dreaded by the shad fishermen.
Their time for visiting these waters ia
from the middle Of June to the list of
September, and, like the swallows, all
go-or seem to go-ir one day.-Essex

The Tyr..nt. Of Paris.

The "Anti- ti-Corcierge," a paper which
made few titful appearances some
time ago in Paris, having done little
to curb the tyranny of the class
against whom it was directed. a de-
termined attempt is being made by
Partisan dodgers to curtail their power
w process Of law. 1t is we'll known
that concierge who thinks himself
aggrieved on account Of the smallness
OF the gr>ituities given to him by the
lodger will keep back the lodger's
letters and will play other pranks of
Il similar kind in order to give annoy
ance. 1t seems also that 1t is not un-
common, under similar circumstances,
for concierges to make slanderous
imputations upon the people about
whose character questions are put to
them by outsiders. In a country like
France, where scarcely anybody has
his own house, and practically every
one, in consequence, has dealings with
II concierge, this is, of course, q seri-
Ous matter. A test action has conse-
Iuently been brought in order to as
certain whether concierges may le-
gally give information to strangers
on questions affecting the honor or
character of dodgers. The Sixth Civil
Tribunal has decided that they have
no power to divulge anything what
ever with regard to the private life
or personal habits of any Of the people
occupying rooms in the same house.

The cranberrx Worm.


Complaints are numerous this sea-
son that cranberries are turning red
long before they are ripe, are wormy,
shrivel up until none are left. This
is the work of the berry worm or fruit
worm (Acrobasis vacciniD. The egg
for the worm is deposited in the calyx
on the young berry just after forming.
The worm eats into the berry, and
wanders from that to other berries.
When full grown it leaves the berry,
drops to the ground and burrows into
the soil, where it remains all winter,
and matches the following June or
July. On wet bogs it does not thrive.
When full grown it Is about half an
inch long. The moth producing this
Worm expands wings about three
fourths of an inch when spread; 1t Is
of an ash gray color, mottled with
white, and when at rest on q cram
berry vine, with wings folded, Is not
easily recognized. The eggs matches
In about five or six days after laid.
Flowing to destroy the pest is not
feasible, as the time the water should
be held on the bog would destroy the
crop. An application of paris green
n tablespoonful to a bucket of water
applied with spraying outfit at the
time the berries begin to set Is effec-
tive.-O. NJ. Holmes.

No species of stock will pay better
returns when turned on the stubble
fields after harvest than sheep, says
the Iowa Homestead. They will not
only clean up waste grains left by
the harvesters, but will eat all the
young weeds and grass as we'll, and
will prevent the weeds from going to
seed and scattering trouble all over
the farm. They will also distribute
fertility upon the land and If kept in
this way there will be IN appreciable
gain in the flock from feed that would
otherwise have been lost. This feed
would not only be lost to the fiockmas-
ter. but the noxious weeds that would
spring up in the fields, without the
sheep. would make the loss greater
than that of the gleanings of the har-
vest merely. 1t may occur to the
reader that some other stock will an

The nnl,v Alo-r,

The most curious contrivance to
which the brain of the ingenious in
ventor has given birth of late is the
"baby alarm" At first blush there
would seem to be little market for
this new patent; for the baby is gen.
orally perfectly successful as his OWE
alarm. To this fact President Cleve-
land can probably testify, as well as
many other unhappy-excuse us, hap

sitive microphone. placed near the cot,
is connected to battery and an induc-
tion coil and thence by wires to a

cries, the microphone sets up an un-
dulatory circuit, which actuates the
electro-magnet, AID by its oscillation
closes a bell circuit. The bell will
ring as long us the child cries. This
would seem to be twinning Of mis-

particular chief most inimical to him.
The bishop, during the course Of his
appeal, purposely made q pause; the
chief Immediately began wild speech,
but faltered when the bishop, folding
his arms, said: cam l talking, or
are you? If you are talking, will
wait until you are through" The
braves then guyed the chief for inter-
rupting the bishop, and the latters
cause was won.
The Indian is not q red man in real
ity. His skin is of a coppery tinge,
but the hue is due to ferruginous
quality. while the Africans skin Is q

In intelligence the Indian is below

assimilating power of the latter, but
that need not tend to his discredit.
