Who He Is and Some of the Victories
 Which Have Given Him

Billy Layton, the clever middle
 weight, who defeated George La
 Blanch, (''The Marine,") at Des
 Moines in October last, is in the city, and has kindly consented to engage in a complimentary glove contest with Frank Smith, local pugilist, before the Pine Bluff Athletic Association on Monday night.
 Layton is man with a world renowned reputation as a pugilist and in all of his career in meeting the best men in this country, in only one instance has he ever found his superior. He is one of the cleverest men of his weight in the world and is the hero of over a half hundred fights.
 Billy Layton is a Yirginian by birth, and his appearance as well as his actions stamp him as a gentle man. Many people have an idea that a man who takes part in a boxing contest or athletic exhibi- tions is a rough" and of more or less desreputable character. This is, perhaps, true of the lower grade, but it can never be applied to such a man as Billy Layton. His charac- ter is untarnished and he bears with him credentials of the highest from Robert Lee, IT,, of the University of Virginia, and from the president of the Washing ton & Lee University. During the year of 1891 Layton was the Profes- sor of Physical Culture of those colleges and the presidents of both colleges, under their own signatures, have given him the highest endorsements, both as a master of his art and as a gentleman of integrety and unblemished charac- ter. During the past year MT. Layton has been engaged in busi- ness in Galveston, Texas, but having disposed of his business, he is now out on pleasure trip. He will on next season again accept position at the University of Virginia.
 The entertainment Monday night, under the auspices of the Athletic Association, is purely compliment ary to its friends, and no charges of admission will be made and no collection taken up. It is given merely to allow our people to make the acquaintance of a man who is a credit to the puglistic profession of the world.
 Layton will give glove contest with Frank Smith, local amateur Several other bouts between some of the best men in the vicinity have been arranged and it is safe to say that the club house will be filed.

Remains of q Remarkable Race of Men
Found I'm Florida.
Early in December Frank Hamilton
Cushing of the bureau of American eth E.
nology of the Smithsonian institution |;
Wells M. Sawyer, an artist and photog
rapher of the art department. of the
United States geological survey, and
Carl F. W. Bergman, museum expert of
the United States National museum,
completed arrangements to visit Flori
da, with the intention of making an in
vestigation of the Shell keys and ancient
reef settlements of Charlotte harbor,
and the very interesting mounds at Ma
pies, about 150 miles south of Tampa.
A camp was established at Finley's
Hammock, or Hope Grove, few miles
north of the Anclote river, where, under
the direction of Mr.. Sawyer. a number
of interesting discoveries were made.
In the mounds the burials were nu-
merous, and although some hundreds Of
such burials were encountered the re-
mains were SO affected by age as to rem
der it almost impossible to preserve
them. By very careful treatment large
collection of skulls and other portions
of skeletons, interesting for study, were
secured. The skulls are in many respects
remarkable, possessing features that are
apparently unusual. This is especially
the case in reference to the great mar
rowness Of the temporal regions. the
massive development of the jaws and
the prominence of the brows. A study
of this collection will probably definite
ly decide to what group Of Indians these
people were allied.
All Of the remains are prehistoric.
The find is necessarily large on account
of their peculiar burial customs. A re-
markably representative collection of all
of their various arts Of life in pottery.
stone and bone implements and orna-
ments was found.

Women at the Helm.


Among the curiosities of the Russian
dominions is a group of communes in
the government of Smolensk, surround
ing the convent of Besjukow, where not
only do women vote, but where they
practically do all the voting and office
holding.
AS the returns from agriculture are
very meager in the district, and there
are large towns not far away, the male
Inhabitants Of the BesJukow neighbor-
hood emigrate to these towns early in
spring to find work, leaving few but
women and children at home, and not
coming home to attend to the little mat
ter of voting.
Inasmuch as the women have to do
all the farm work as well as the house
work in this singular community, it
does not seem strange that they rather
insist upon holding the offices, and not
assigning them to such old men as may
be about. furthermore, it is said that
they have for period of several years
managed all the public affairs of the
Besjukow district so well that the men
are quite content to abandon the tedi-
GUS work Of government to them.
Sometimes, when the "head woman"
Of the joint communes is presiding over
a public assembly of women to pass
upon important financial and other con-
Germs, certain Of the men have been
known to come home for the purpose
of merely looking on and admiring the
method Of procedure else of hearth
ly felicitating themselves upon being
rid of so bothersome duty.

Judge Steyn's election Is considered
a Boer victory, as his candidacy was
indorsed and promoted by President
Kruger, OF the Transyaal Dr.. Jane
son and his raid, into the South AZ
rican republic had the sympathy of
the uitlanders, or noncihzens, OF the
Orange Free State. Steyn stood for
the conservative or Boer interests, and
his election shows the tide is flowing
against British domination in this part
of Africa. He is an able jurist, a good
statesman and a strong man. The
country over which he will rule is an
Independent Dutch republic in South
Africa. On the south of it is Cape
Colony, on the west Griqualand, the
Transvaal on the north and Natal on

Paine's celery compound. It has lifted
thousands from beds of sickness. It
does what nothing else ever did for the
sleppless, the dyspeptic, and the de-
spondent-it cures them once and for
all. Here is testimonial from e. A.
Miller of Columbus, O., accompanying
the photograph of his family.
For two years past l have been con.
slant sufferer with severe nervous head
aches, ofttimes being compelled to go
to bed, when my business necessitated
my personal attention. Last week my
physician recommended Paine's celery
compound. have taken now four
bottles, and have not suffered with
headache since. This government, In
my mind, should pay the discoverer Of
Paine's celery compound sum Of
money sufficient to keep him and all
his relatives in luxury during their
natural life.''
Mr.. Miller is the son of DR.. j. D.
Miller. His wife is the granddaughter
of the late Gov. Lucas Of Ohio. Mr..
Miller's praise Of Paine's celery COM
pound is equaled by that of thousands
of others who owe their health and
strength to this greatest of all rem
edies,
