PARIS, July 26-The cabinet today
Unexpectedly decided that the govern
ment will not be represented at the I'M
yelling of the national monument al
Sedan in August to the memory of the
soldiers who fell there in the Franco

lieved to be due to the rapproachmen;
between France and Germany, and the

CAREFUL PEPPERS
Saved His Strength for the Coming
Fight

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.-Henry
Peppers, the colored California middle
weight, and Jack Bonner of Summit
Hill, Pa, boxed lively six-round bout
at the arena tonight. Peppers proved
himself an excellent boxer, being quite
shifty on his feet and managed to escape
nearly all of Bonner's blows. They
mixed it up pretty warmly in the fifth
round, and there were some good short
arm exchanges, but Peppers generally
got out of reach of the straight arm
blows and at times he had Bonner pref
ty we'll used up. The bout ended with
honors about even.
1t was stated that Peppers is slated
for a twenty-round fight at San Fran
cisco in a couple of weeks, and this prob
ably explains his desire to escape pun
ishment in tonight's engagement.

MEN WHO WE'RE GREAT EATERS
Could Devour Immense Quantities OF
Food at Sitting

A comparison of the averages of many
noted professional and amateur eaters
reveals that none has reached that of
Oakley Stanton of Derbyshire, En- gland,
who lived in the last century. Mr.
Stanton on certain occasion in one hour
ate a single meal of four dishes, CON-
posed as follows: The first dish was an
amalgam of two quarts of milk, thirty
eggs half pound of butter. three penny
loaves, quantity of ginger ard nut
meg, and an ounce of mustard, all boiled
together. The second dish was pound
of cheese and a pound loaf of bread; the
third, half a pound of bacon, a penny
loaf of bread, a quart of ale, three half
pennies worth of gingerbread, and q
pint of ale; the fourth, a custard of two
pounds, pint of milk and three pints OF
ale.
AS proof that Mr.. Stanton suffered
no inconvenience from this repast, 1t is
stated that he passed the balance of the
evening drinking copiously of ale and
liquor. This feat was for some time corr
sidered unapproachable, until porter
of Truro on bet of shillings ate two
pairs of worsted stockings fried in train
oil and half pound Of yellow soap.
Success inspired this man to another eff
fort. The wager on this occasion was
that he could not eat as much tripe as
would make him a Jacket with sleeves
He took the bet, and was regularly
measured by tailor, who cut the tripe
into the exact size and shape of the gar
ment The porter ate it all in twenty
minutes. AS pie specialist the record
of Scotchman Of Dundee is not without
distinction. He consumed nine large
two-penny pies in fourteen and one
half minutes. This feat aroused much
enthusiasm, and induced betting men to
lay odds against him that he could not
devour twelve pies of the same dimen-
sions in twenty-five minutes. The
Scotchman won with eight minutes to
spare He offered to occupy the re-
naming margin Of time by eating half
a dozen moxe. 1t is alleged that this es-
tablishes the record on pies; but it IS
safe to say that it has been surpassed by,
some professionals of the east side.-N.

the three English players who have
come over to try conclusions with the
Americans Each Of the foreigners won
his match, Eaves having the easiest
time. while Nesbitt had to work hard.
The former allowed his opponent, Ever,

had his hands full with G. w. Lee, an old
Longwood player. In this match Mes
bitt scored 143 points to his opponents

Mahoney, perhaps was the best Of the
three, but had by no means an easy
thing with Willistop, another Longwood
player, and at one time the Englishman
showed signs of going to pieces. In this
match both men scored twenty five
passes while Mailoney made total of
eighty-six points to Williston's sixty.
The playing Of the foreigners proved the
attraction OF the afternoon ard their
style was watched with interest. The
match tomorrow between A. w. Larneo

will doubtless be the most interesting of
the tournament.
