AGAINST THE USE OF FISTS.
The senate committee OH education
and public morals has approved Senator
Mahoney's bill for making it felony for
any person to engage in prize fighting
or boxing exhibitions, either as princi-
pals or accessories. Should this bill be-
come law, as it certainly should, it
will prove hardship to the Fitzsim-
monses. Corbetts, Sharkeys and other
two-footed pugs who are disposed,

by the sweat of their fists. ThOcommlt-
tee on education evidently fails to see
any connection between education or
morals and the use of the human fist in
pugilistic exhibitions. The committee
is right, and public sentiment ought to
sustain such law, if passed

beast WAS thrown from the trap into

gull that was following in the wake Of
the ship to pick up scraps of food thrown
overheard by the steward. stopped sew

up. Once the bird got too close to the
rats jaws and the beast grabbed it by

succeeded in killing the bird. When the
gull was dead the rat scrambled upon

TO HAVE A COLISEUM.
The Exposition Building Will Be Re-
modelled to Hold 10000 People

AT meeting of the board of directors
of the st. Louis Exposition and Music
Hall association, held at the exposition
Wednesday night, 1t was decided to
completely remodel the present structure
of the Madison square garden. This
does not mean that the annual exposi-
ton is to be abandoned, but that new
and up -to-date features will thus be
made possible. If there is no unexpected
hitch in the plans of the directors the
renovated building will be ready for the
opening of the next fall festivities.
This project has had an earnest advo-
cate in Manager Frank Gaiennie, who
has felt for year or more that the needs
of the city demanded such a structure.
Recently Architect c. X. Ramsey was
set to work outlining plans for the con-
struction, and these plans were submit
ted to the full board for the first time
Wednesday night. 1t required but little
explanation to make it clear to all of
them that new life would be given to
the enterprise by this means. and when
the meeting adjourned there was not a

the obstacles in the way are not regarded
as serious, it is rot too much to say that
