Ordinary People.

First of all, if you feel that you are
ordinary, thank God that you are not
extraordinary. 1 am tired and sick,
and bored almost to death with extra
ordinary people. They take all their
time to tell us how very extraordina-
ry they really are. You know as well
as L do, my brother and sister, that
the most of the useful work of the
world is done by unpretentious people
who toll right on-by people who do
not get much approval, and no one
seems to say, That is well done Phe-
nomena are of but little use. Things
that are exceptional cannot be de-
pended on. Better trust the smallest
planet that swings on its orbit than
ten comets shooting this way and
that, imperiling the longevity of
worlds attending to their own bust
ness. For steady Illumination better
is a lamp than a rocket. Then, if you
feel that you are ordinary, remember
that your position invites the less at
tack"-Dr Talmage.

Whatever is, is Best.

1 know as my life grows older,
And my eyes have clearer sight,
That under each rank wrong somewhere
There lies the root of Right;
That each sorrow has it's purpose,
BY the Borrowing oft unguessed,
But, as sure as the sun brings morning
Whatever is, is best.
L know that each sinful action,
As sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere, sometime punished,
Tho the hour be long delayed.
1 know that the soul is aided
Sometime by the hearts unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer,
But whatever is, is best.

ALL THE GUNS HE De-
SIRED;
CRANES LATEST OPINION.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS
ON THE CORBETT-FITZSIM
MONS FIGHT
QUESTION OF USING ARMS.
me Sheriff Would Be Fully .Jus.
uhed in Firing Should Re-
sistance Be offered.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 27-Todav At
torney General Crane gave out his
second opinion anent the Corbett-
f1tzsimmons prize fight at Dallas in
october. This opinion was called for
py a question propounded by Sheriff
Cabeil, of Dallas county, as to wheth-
er In suppressing the fight he was
legally empowered to shoot and kill
tnose who interfered with him. The
matter was referred to the ATTORNEY
general by the governor, and he to-
day handed down an opinion hold
ing that, in the lawful discharge of
MS duty, the sheriff certainly had
the right to use firearms if emer-
gency demanded. The attorney gen.
eral bases his opinion on the statutes
governing riots, etc. He holds that
the participants in a fight. with
their seconds, referee, ETC.. will COM
prise more than thirty people, and
lnasmuch as they are assembled for
the purpose of violating one of the
statutes, it is an unlawful or riotous
assemblage, and they lay themselves
liable to summary dealing if the
emergency arises.
The attorney general argues that
these fighters, with those in attendance.
Will certainly be a gathering in viola
ton of the law, and that under the
law the sheriff, or any sworn officer. is
bound to disperse said assemblage at
any cost. AS to killing those who in
terfere with him, the attorney general
cites article 66 Of the penal code, which
says: Homicide is justifiable wnen
necessary to suppress riot when the
same is attempted to be suppressed in
the manner pointed out in the code Of
crime procedure and can in no way be
suppressed except by taking life"
The attorney general adds at the
close Of his opinion that, while he does
not think there will be any occasion
for the sheriff to shoot any one in a
peaceable city like Dallas, if the emer-
gency does arise that will necessitate
his shooting and killing those who in
terfere with his duties, he will in no
wise be held responsible for murder.

HovEY, THE TENNIS KING.
Wrenn Defeated at Newport in
Three Straight Sets.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. q. - The
greatest tennis of the year was played

ers' tournament, w. f. Hovey, met
R. D. Wrenn, the present champion,
to decide the national championship.
Hovey won in three straight sets, the
score being G-3, 6-2, GA. The odds

tournament All society turned out
and 5000 persons were present. Elk
Champion Ollie Campbell took the ref
eree's chair at Hoo. The first game
went to Hovey on Wrenn's continual
nets or outs; the next to Wrenn. Then
Hovey captured two, the second of
them on Wrenn's double fault. The
fifth game went to Wrenn and the
next two to Hovey. Wrenn losing each
through slipping on the wet ground.
Wrenn captured the next, but the
sixth game for Hovey came neat at
love, giving him the set at 6-3 Both
men were playing q careful game,
while the crowd was decidedly for the
champion. In the second set Wrenn
took the first game at love- Then
Hovey came to the front and by mag
nfficent playing captured five straight
games. The seventh game ran to
deuce twice and was taken by Wrenn,
making the game So, Hovey having
but one to win to take the set. This he
did, Wrenn scoring but one point,
and the set was for Hovey, 6-2 At
this point a drilling rain began to
fall, making it very disagreeable for
the players. The third set opened with
Hovey getting the first two games.
when Wrenn captured one Then two
went to Hovey and one to Wrenn, and
one more for Hovey made the set
5-2 for Hovey. The next game ran to

The Fish That Caused Marc An
tony to Lose the Battle of
Actiun.
New York Tribune.
That justly celebrated family re-
sort situated in Long Island sound,
and known as Glen Island, is thor
oughly equipped with everything to
make it attractive, including a most
able, energetic and daring inventive
press agent. The latest bulletin
from this paradise of pleasure-seek-
ers and students of natural history
announces the addition to the al
ready well-flled aquarium there Of
a specimen Of teleostean fish, labeled
'Eschensis remora." This long
named little sucker was found
sticking to the hull of one of the
steam launches, as stated in the said
bulletin, and was Immediately
seized upon by Mr.. Starins fish ex-
perts as a star feature of the
aquarium. The technical descrip-
ton of the experts, edited by the
press agent, is as follows:
''The remora is about foot and a
half long. The anterior dorsaI fin
is covered with large sucking
! disk, having two rows of lamelale,
situated on the top Of the head. This
resembles very much in form the
green blinds seen in the country
and on Pennsylvania houses. The
Iemora, by means of it's peculiar
sucking disk, attaches itself to the
bottom of a boat and frequently to a
larger fish or shark, and will travel
thousands of miles before letting go.
The South American Indians make
use of this instinct of the fish to catch
sea turtles. They fasten a ring
around the remora's tail, to which
they attach a long rope.
'They then take the fish to sea,
and when huge turtle is sighted,
throw the fish over. 1t swims at
once to the turtle and attaches itself
to the bottom of the shell. The rope
is then drawn in, and soon both
remora and turtle are in the boat.
Antony's ship was said to have been
held motionless by number of re-
moras which impeded it's progress in
spite of the efforts of hundreds Of
sailors to row it forward during the
famous battle of Actium. Prof. L. NJ.
Mccormick, who examined the fish
yesterday, says it is a beautiful sue
cimen and a very rare one, as it does
not often find it's way out of tropical
waters"
Mothers can now combine instruc-
ton and amusement at Glen Island
by reeounting this little story Of the
remorseless remora holding Marc
Antony's naval outfit by the coat
tails, as they point out this Long
Island specimen of the original
sucker" to their children. That
Marc Antony story caps the climax
The Glen Island press agent deserves
a big medal.

THE COLoRED BOXER GOT A DE-

HARD.
TWENTY-FIVE GOOD ROUNDS
JOHNNY GRIFFIN MADE 1T A
LIVELY BATTLE IN BOS-
TON.
SURPRISE FROM THE REFEREE.
An Award Not Expected When
Both Men Were Standing at
the Finish.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 27.-George
Dixon, the colored lightweight boxer
OF Boston, was given the decision
this evening over Johnny Griffin, the
Bralntree lad" at the end of the
tWenty-flfth round, under the au-
spices of the Farragut club in the
Newton street armory. The decis-
lon was surprise to the majority of
the 5000 people present, it having
been generally understood that there
was to be no decision if both men
We're on their feet at the end Of
the twenty-fifth round. unless, per-
maps, there should be a decided diff
ference in the condition of the box
ers. Both men were certainly in
very good condition at the end of
the twenty-fifth round, although
Dixon had done the better work of
the two. Griffin surprised his friends
by the game manner in which he
took Dixon's punishment, and they
confidently expected a draw. Dixon
was seconded by Tom O'Rourke,
Maurice Kelly and Joe Gordon. At
and James Robinson. Both men
weighed in this afternoon at 126
pounds. Dixon being a trifle the
lighter.
In the first round Dixon started in
apparently to end up the fight, and
landed heavily twice. Griffin was
forced to take the ropes at the end
of the third round, and was sent
down by a Highlander on the jaw,
but he got up again and pulled off
the game by clinching Throughout
the fifth round Dixon continued on
the aggressive. He landed left on
nose and sneaked in a right when
the men clinched. Griffin ducked into
a terrific upper-eut. Both exchanged
rights and lefts before the end of the
round.
CAUGHT ONE IN THE EYE.
In the sixth Griffin partly closed
Dfxon's eye. The seventh was a. ter
rife one. Dixon repeatedly jabbed,
Griffin cross-eountering effectively sew
eral times. Work was very ragged
throughout, with honors about even.
By this time it was apparent that the
winner must do some lively work in
order to get q decision. Dixon was
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 hot one; then both men
eased up for the next five In the
twentieth Griffin changed his tactics
and swung hard on the wind. Dixon
| tried to stop with the left, but was
| avoided. 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 did not succeed. The remaining
two rounds were comparatively tame
and it was apparent that Griffin had
lots of fight in him
For the preliminary there was eight
rounds of hard fighting between John
ny 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
draw.

HARRISON AT HIS BEST.
He Gives u Handsome Exhibition
of billiards at FoIey,s.


Young Harrison gave an exhibition
Of fancy billiard shots at Foley's last
night which delighted two or three
hundred enthusiasts. Harrison learned
many of Maurice Daily and Prof. Kar-
olus' brilliant and surprising shots
and executed them all faultlessly last
night. They were principally masses,
kisses and round-the-table caroms !;
shots showing the wonders of the
English and apparently impossible
draws and follows. Harrison was evil
IDENTIFY an apt pupil of the players
named, judging from his manner of
execution last night. All these Shots
are very pretty to look at and the
difficulty in making many Of them
could only be appreciated by those
familiar with the game of billiards.
Harrison was in excellent stroke and
the hearty appreciation of the audi
ence inspired him to give a handsome
exhibition. Later on he played an ex-
h1b1t1on game with young amateur
In which he essayed the difficult per-
Torrance of fifty or no count at a.
inch balk line, meaning to the unin-
1uated that he must make fifty or
more each time at the table or he was
not entitled to count. He allowed his
opponent to creep close to the going
out point, meantime making some
pretty runs of %, 80 and TO- then when
1t seemed that his adversary had the
game, Harrison shook off his lethargy
and ran out with a handsome collec-
ton of fifty. Tonight Harrison will
play young Foley, the game to be 800
points at 14-inch balk line, the Chi
cago mans specially.

Needed THE ADVICE.
A Young Mans Experience in n
Mexican Gambling House.

A Young Mans Experience in q
Mexican Gambling House.
Washington Post.
Il had an adventure in the City
Of Mexico when I was quite young
ster, not out of my teens, in fact,
that taught me a useful lesson said
Jules Cohn, of Philadelphia, to a
reporter at the Hotel Page. "There
are two big gambling houses in the
Mexican capital, run under govern
ment sanction the said houses pay
ing very large sums into the public
treasury for the privilege. / had
seen enough of the game of monte
to become infatuated with it, and
during a sojourn of several weeks
down there got to be regular
habitue Of both sporting resorts.
Occasionally I made good winning,
but on the whole lost more than l
won. There is a Mexican law that
forbids the entrance of minors into
gambling places, but for long while
my going in and out was unchal-
lenged, and I had no idea Of ever
being barred.
Zone night following the day in
which l had received my months
wages, 5000 in gold, sought the gam
bling place and was soon immersed in
monte. Luck was very adverse to me
that night, and when l left In the small
hours the bank had cleaned me out of
every dollar of my salary. Naturally
I was pretty blue the next day, but
going to a friend secured the loan OF
500 and determined to try to get back
some of my lost cash.
THAT night on attempting to enter
the place the employee whose duty was
to see that no improper characters got
entrance, stopped me and asked If I
were twenty-one years of age On
answering in the negative, he posi-
lively refused to let me go inside. I
tried to reason with him, but to no
purpose. He was ineXorable, and quot
ed to me the law. L told him it was u
beautiful law that worked only one
way. but that didn't move him.
well, l was so sore at my treatment
that called on the American minister,
stated the case frankly and asked his
advice. He said: You can undoubted-
ly make these people give back your
money; the law would force them to do;
so on account of your age. You have
great provocation to take such a
course, but l advise you not to do it.
The best way to get square is to stop
playing monte and all other gambling
games
1.-THE advice I knew to be good, and
as 1 listened. I acknowledged its
soundnesS. thanked the minister, and,
going out of his office made myself a
promise that have kept to this day"

NEGOTIATIONS NOW ON FOOT TO
HOLD A BIG TOURNAMENT
NEAR ST. PAUL.
NOTED BOXERS WILL COME.
LIKELIHOOD THAT O,DONNELL
AND MAHER WILL BE ON
THE LIST.
FINISH FIGHTS CONTEMPLATED.
CIeverest of the Profession Are
Ready and Willing to Earn
Few Dollars.

A carnival of excellent sport will
soon be inaugurated in close prox-
unity to st. Paul, in which some of
the best known middle and light
weights in the country will be pitted
against one another. It will be in
the nature Of a, tournament, so that
each man is likely to have more than
one fight on his hands before the
sport is over
Danny Needham is the first one
slated to appear, and just now the
projectors Of the affair are scour-
ing the country for some one worthy
to meet him in the ring. Young Muir
ply, who toured the Northwest and
defeated everything in sight, is on
the bills, and so Is Dick Moore,
Shadow Maber, Kid Lavigne, Billy
Plimmer, Australian Billy Murphy
and score of other well-known ex-
ponents of the manly art. The Oma-
ha Kid has applied for admission to
the tournament, but it is hardly
likely that men who have been de-
feated so often will be permitted to
enter. Tommy Ryan is in CORE
spondence with the managers, and
Mysterious Billy Smith will be in
vited to swell the aggregation Of
fighters. Dick Moore'S old foe, Henry
Baker, is anxious to get in on the
ground floor, and it is possible that
Dan Creedon will also take part A
large pot Of money will be hung
up for this affair, and it will occur
within two hours ride of st. Paul
on grounds especially prepared for
the event, and beyond the reach of
the minions of the law. There will be
events in every class, and if it is pos
sible to secure them, Steve O'Don-
nell and Peter Maher will meet for
a finish fight. 3
The scheme looks big, but the fact
remains that there is little for these
prize fighters to do just now, and
they are all after the coin, no mat
ter where they get it. The majority
of the lesser lights would enter fin
ish fight for 500, and it is fore
gone conclusion that such a tourna-
ment as. this will be literally pat

men of the entire Northwest, but
by sports from all sections of the
country.
Responsible parties in this city
have the matter in charge, and are
already in receipt of letters from
most of the pugilists named above.
They betray much eagerness to take
part, too, and it is not surprising,
for there is hardly one in the list
who is not ION his uppers." Prize
fighting has been non-productfve in
the East and South of late, and
these men are anxious to get a bite
to eat occasionally, as the lunch
routes in their vicinity have sud-
denly become exclusive. Such tour
nament would bring many people to
this city, and the projectors say that
they will be free from disturbance.
Good money is back of the scheme,
and more will be known of it within
few days.
