PUGlLlSM AND PROSPERITY.
Legislator FavOrs Prize Fighting Be-

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 15.-On the grave Of
football the rarest philosopher of Georgia
politics proposes to erect the prize ring.
Uncle" Joe Mansfield, the rude, hardy and
rough but genuine representative of the
coast country of Mcintosh, cast his vote last
week for the bill which made the playing of
football illegal, and a few minutes later
arose in his scat and introduced a bill legal
izing prize fights. Uncle Joe" goes further
he would have the art of the prize-fighter
taught in the public schools. If his bill
passes he will follow it up with another
prescribing prize-fighting as part of the
training of the public schools. This benefi-
cent means he declares to be the only rem
edy which will cure Georgia of the ills of
scent cotton and of aggravated hard times.
They may defeat my BILL said Uncle Joe,
'but it Will be a great blow to Georgia.
Pass it and cotton will go to 10 cents and
prosperity will return to Georgia. 1t will
bring thousands of people here with mon
ey to spend, and the turning loose of such
a sum of money will start the ball of pros
perity rolling Prize-fghting is a noble art
and should be encouraged. ] am against
football tooth and toenail. Prize-tghting is
fair, even and on the square. 1t is a game
in which two evenly matched men meet to
contest according to certain prescribed
rules, and there is a man standing by to see
that none of the rules Is violated. In foot

little fellow and either kill him or smash
him until he isn't much good.

tary Annals of the Times.

PARIS, Nov IS. M. Scheurer-Kestner,
one of the vice presidents of the Senate,
who has been agitating for a reopening of
the case of Alfred Dreyfus, the former cap
tain of artillery, now undergoing a sentence
of Imprisonment for life for selling impor-
tant French military plans to agents of
foreign power, has written letter TO news
papers in which he asserts that on Oct. 30
he presented to the French minister for
war, General Billot, documents proving the
prisoner Innocent. NJ. Scheurer-Kestne
adds that the minister promised to make an
inquiry into the matter and also undertook
TO communicate to NJ. Scheurer- Kestner the
result within fortnight pledging the lat
ter to silence in the meanwhile. Continuing
M. Scheurer-Kestner explains that this is
the reason of his misunderstood silence, but
as the fortnight has elapsed without the
minister for war communicating with him
he now repeats, without fear of contradic-
ton, that he showed the minister documents
which easily establish the culpability of an
other than Dreyfus. The letter of NJ
Scheurer-Kestner caused considerable ex-
element in the Hobbies of the Chamber of
Deputies, and it is expected the Cabinet will
discuss the situation tomorrow and issue
a pronouncement on the subject.
M. Scheurer-Kestner. In recent letter to
General Billot, declared that a rich and til
tied officer, well known in Paris society,
has been requested to resign in consequence
of the continued leaking OF military secrets
since Captain Dreyfus was deported. Fur
thermore, he declared that this officer was
the author of the unsigned letter which led
to the condemnation of Captaini DreyfuS.
The newspapers tomorrow will publish
the letter which the brother of Captain
DreyfuS sent to General Billot the minister

answers the foregoing description of the au
thor of the unsigned letter.

WHIPPED BY KID MCCOY
AUSTRALIAN BILLY SMITH BADLY
PUNISHED IN A BRIEF BOUT.
Repeatedly FloOred, and Would Have
Been Knocked Out but for the PO-
lice, Who stopped the Fight.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The six-round con-
test between Kid Mccoy and Australian
Billy Smith, in which George Siler was
referee, was stopped by the police in the
first half of the second round tonight. The
fight would not have lasted over two rounds,
anyway, as Mccoy knocked Smith down
twice in the first round, four times in the
second and had him nearly out before the
police interfered. Mccoy opened the first
round with a rush, planting left squarely
in Smiths face and a right on his ribs.
Smith managed to land two blows on the
shoulder, but they were light and did no
damage. Mccoy then went at him with a
cannonade of rights and lefts and sent
Smith to the floor with right on the jaw
Smith was not groggy, but took his nine
seconds, Mccoy waiting for him with a
smile on his face. The gong rang as Smith
rose
In the second round Mccoy went right
after Smith and knocked his head back
three times with straight lefts as fast as
Smith could bring it forward. He then put
a right on the body, two more lefts on the
mouth and sent Smith to the floor with
left half-arm swing on the jaw. Smith was
down eight seconds and as soon as ne
was UP Mccoy met him with another left,
and then sent in right and left on the
jaw which laid Smith fiat once more. He
was down eight SECONDS again and came up
with the blood pouring from his right eye
and trickling from his nose The two
danced across the ring, when out went Nc
Coy's left in short-arm jab and down went
Smith the third time. He was on the floor
eight seconds, as usual, and was very
groggy when he arose. Mccoy came at him
fast and put in two hard ones on the face.
Smith staggered and, 1T being evident that
he could last but very little longer, the po-
lice stopped the fight.
The contest was McCoy's from start to
finish and Smith was never in it at any
time Mccoy hit him when and wherever
he pleased and got. away from Smiths
swings without trouble. The latter was bad
ly punished, his righl eye being cut and
nearly closed when the fight was stopped.
Billy Ratchford, of Chicago, and Tom
Cooney, of Boston, went six rounds at ll9
pounds, the former getting the decision; al
though Cooney put up a game night. FOL
lowing this bout George Kerwin, Of Chicago
defeated Frank Fitzgerald, also OF this city,
in the second round. Al Schrosbee, OF Chi
cago was rapidly disposing of Tom Silver
thorn, of Utah, when the affair, was stopped
by the police in the fifth round.
