Thread Prom .hs Earth to a star.

Professor Ball. the Astronomer Royal
of Ireland, and one of the most popular
astronomical writer's in Great Britain.
has just finished a curious calculation OF
the distance to the nearest of the fixed
stars" The calculation was inspired by
a visit to one of the great Lancashire
thread factories. The superintendent OF
one of the factories inspected by the as
tronomer informed the star gazer that
the combined output of the various Lam
casaire thread factories was 155, 600 coo
miles of thread per dayi Those figures
were certainly enough to astonish any
one unless it should be an astronomer.
Professor Ball has long since passed the
point where he expresses surprise at q
string OF dgures which represent bsllians
of miles Instead of failing stunned az

years TO spin q thread long enough to

FIGHT 10 A DRAW.
Dixon ANA White battle Twenty
Rounds without n uecssfen

One of the hardest battles ever fought
between feather weights was decided last
night before the New Broadway Athletic
Club, in the presence of over 5000 people.
The contestants were George Dixon. the
champion feather weight boxer of the
world, who halls from Boston, and Tom
my White of Chicago. The men battled
for twenty rounds, and during their
progress the fighting was fast and furi-
GUS. Dixon expected to win, but after
the sixth round showed plainly that he
had met the most scientific boxer that had
yet faced him. Whites cleverness and
ability, to avoid Dixonis sledge-hammer
blows and wild swings, not only surprised
the colored lad but every one else. Never
had. such wonderful defence been Witness
ed IN this vicinity. With it all, White
possessed a good left hand, and his re-
peated use of 1t IN jabbiug Dixon during
some of his most spirited ushes soon

McKinley's house. Canton. O., June

fire alarm bell had begun changing that

and escorted by three companies OF
militia, under command Of Captain
Harry Frease. with brass hands and
drum corps, paraded up north market
street to Gov. McKinley's home on the
hill. The same tick that notified Gov.
Mckinley Of his nomination over the
wire had set the fire alarm going. A
score of Gov. and Mrs. McKinley's per
sonal friends had extended their con-
gratulations before the parade reached
the house.
The scene on the parade to McKin-
ley's house was one Of the widest en-
thusiasm. Batteries Of artillery start
ed with the nomination signal to the
fore When the nominating speeches
began, the blare of trumpets was heard
coming from the militia, old soldiers be-
gan to fall in line ready for the march.
Mayor Rice had ordered a police patrol
to report so as to avoid confusion as
much as possible. Before the parade
had covered half dozen blocks to Nc
KinIey's home, as If by magic the
center of the city and the line Of march
was a panorama of flags. festooning
and decorations of all kinds.
