 Bill Nye became known to the public as a humorist about i5 years ago through OK tracts copied from newspaper called The Boomerang, edited by him at Laramie Wy. Ills wit-was of the droll style pecul- far 10 the boundless west.
 It did not tako long for both the papcr and its editor to become famous through. out the country.
 More than ten years ago Nye accepted a position on newspaper in New York city, and for several years since has been on the staff of the American Press Asso- ciation. This last connection continued up to the time of his death. He made number of lecturing tours through the country and wrote two plays. one of which, The Cadl, was produced by Thomas c. Soahrooke. The other play was written In collaboration with Paul NJ. Potter. Its title was "The Stag Par ty" and was produced at the Garden thea- ter, New York, two months ago. It was not success.

 the fight After a breakaway Peter land ed his left on Fitz's neck. Close might ing followed, and Maher succeeded in landing his left on Fitz's upper lip, draw ing blood.
 Fitzimmons landed with left and right A clinoh followed. Maher feinted, and Fitzsimmons led with his right, but fell short. A mix up followed, In which Ma her landed both right and left on either side of Fitz's head. Maher led with his left, and another clinch followed Fitz seemed a bit bothered and broke ground, but at once landed on Maher's nose.
 Maher followed him up and led with his left. when Fitz stepped aside, and, swing ing his right landed full on the point of Maher's chin.
 Maher measured his length on the floor, his head striking the canvas with great force. He vainly attempted to rise, but could do no more than lift his head. His seconds called on him to get up, but he failed to respond and fell back to the can vas.
 Referee Siler counted of the seconds, and Maher made a gallant effort to rise, but after getting half way to a recumbent position he fell hack.
 One by one the referee ominously told of the ten seconds, while Maber vainly tried to rise The fatal tenth second was counted.
 Maher was declared out and Fitzsim- mons announced the ctor after 1 min ute and 35 seconds of rather lively fight ing.
 It was several minutes before he realized what had happened to him, and Fitz walked over to his corner and shook him by the hand. Fitz also shook hands with Quinn and the seconds in Peter's corner.
 Barring the slight bleeding of the nos trils, accustomed by the left hand jab of Maher, the Cornish man showed no marks of injury and appeared as fresh as at the opening of hostilities. Maher showed no signs of punishment, except a slight break in the skin over his jaw, just above the point of the left chin, where Fitzsimmons' master stroke had landed

Explorer Stanley Tells In Brief the Story
 of the Great Enterprise.
 During my descent of the Kongo had revolved over and over in my mind the question of the destiny of the river. Seated at the prov of my boat. which led our flotilla, and daily watching the river developing itself. was preeccu- pied with these thoughts every leisure moment. There was, it seemed to me, no other power but England that could interest itself with this part of Africa, and, as I said, there was not a single white man in possession of any portion of tue equatorial belt except at the mouth of the Kongo, where few trad CTS had gathered. But despite the nu- merous addresses in England upon this subject failed to awaken more than a geographical interest in equatorial Af- rica. The terror of the African climate in general was too strong upon every body.
 Elsewhere, however. the reports of my addresses in the English newspapers were taking effect. After nearly nine months busy life in England the king of the Belgians invited me to visit him, and was then informed of his strong inclination to undertake for Africa what had been so strenuously advising Eng lishmen to do. He was already president of the African International association, which was about to set on foot hu- manitarian enterprise from the east coast, and he led me to understand that if were free from other engagements he would like to employ me in opening the Kongo basin to European influence and civilization.
 It was my opinion that the best way of setting about the work was to con- struct a light surface railway which should skirt the cataracts of the lower | Kongo and then to launch steamers on the upper waters, which I estimated would furnish about 6. GOO miles of nav | igation. We argued about this matter from August to December, 1878. The best Belgian engineers were consulted, but after the most elaborate calcula- tions as to cost it was finally decided that as the expeuse would be great we should content ourselves with making wagon roads past the cataracts and build series of military stations for tho pro. lection of caravans, and that the annual expenditure should not exceed S6O, coo.

Dear lilies of the field, they grew
 In sweet profusion by the road, Where passed the Sunday people through To worship in their church abode. "Why arc we daily wasting heref'
 The lilies asked in mild complaint "There is no shade protecting near.
 In heat and dust we often faint. "'Twas cruel of our Lord to make
 His flower children suffer sol" Then answered one, "For his dear sake It might be here we ought to grow" There passed that way a maiden fair, In spotlcss white for church arrayed- She saw the lilies blooming there
 stI'n gather them to wear, she said That morn youthful preacher stood
 To break the bread and speak the prayer. Then waited in a thoughtful mood
 To find his inspiration there. When soft to her accustomed place
 The little maiden gently trod. The preacher bowed his anxious face,
 And in his spirit prayed, "Thank Godi" Here was his text, his sermon, too,
 "The lilies of the field," he spake In words of love, with meaning new.
 The bread of life tc them he brake. And in the little mi iden's eyes
 He saw delight snd sweet content, Then said the lilies, growing wise,

The Australian Knocks Out Peter Maher
 In One Brief Round.
 LANGTRY, Tex, Feb. 22. - Bob Fitz- simmons is now the champion heavy weight pugilist as well as champion in the middle weight class. He earned this title by his defeat of Peter Maher. The victory of the Americanized Australian stamps Fitzsimmon as the greatest of the latter day prize fighters. His superiority in agili- ty and ring generalship was fully demon strated. These qualities won him the fight.
 Maher's friends nll along claimed he would show great improvement over the form displayed when he met Fitzsimmons before, and the result was great disap- pointment to them.
 The following Is tho story of the fight in detail:
 Fitz led with his left. Maher backed toward his corner. Fitz landed with his right. and a clinch followed. Maber struck Fitz with his right hand while they were clinohed, and Referee Siler warned him that if he did 1t again he would give Fitz
