NEV% YORK. January 22.-Goorse Dix
on. Champion featherweight pugihst OF the
word. defeated Australian Billy Murphy
Of Cincinnati. in six rounds tonight, at the
Broadway Athletic Club.
Murphy. who arrived here from the west
a couple of days ago. was trained rather
fine. and when he stripped tonight the gen
eral impression was that he would never
be able 10 go the stipulated distance oil
twenty rounds Dixon. on the contrary
never looked in better fettle, and he was
made a pronounced favorite his friends
backing him literally at odds Of TWO 10
one. During the first half of the fight
Murphy held his own. Whenever Dixon
would lead with his left Murphy invariably
swung his right on the back of the head
and also sent nome some good body blows,
but at an times he judged distances very
poorly. Dxou's double blows with the LETT
puzzled Murphy very much, and the col
ored boy landed it half a dozen times dur
ing the contest From the fourth round TO
the end of the fight Murphy grew visibly
weaker. but Dixon showed no effects from
Nlurphys blows. and at the opening Of the
sixth round was by far the fresher man.
The blow which knocked Murphy out was
a peculiar one. II was a left swing SOM
bined with a kind of uppercut and the
butt of Dixou's left nand caught Murphy
in the pit of the stomach. II doubled Billy
up and he fell on his hands and knees TO
the floor. where ne CROPPED about hope
lessly until he was counted out.

stated at the meeting OF the Board
Health yesterday, that the death
rate from consumption in Honolulu
since 1886 was very steady and that a
majority of deaths were among Ha-
waiiaus and Asiatics. He admits
that since 1886, there was no per-
ceptible increase in the death rate.
The statistics of DR.. Wood do not
indicate that the medical gentleman
knows much of the benefits OF true
figures and honest deductions. The
Hawaiians and Asiatics comprise an
overwhelming majority Of the total
population of Honolulu, and as a
matter Of course the majority Of all
deaths must be counted among
these classes. The doctor should
tell us how the death rate from con-
sumption appears when taken in
proportion to the numbers and
nationalities of the inhabitants.
Allowing however that the doctors
figures are correct he has simply
proven that he and his colleague,
DR.. Day, are wrong when they attri-
butte the large mortality from con-
sumption to "beef and milk" from
cattle suffering from tuberculosis
The Hawaiiaus and Asiatics are very
small consumers OF beef and milk.
The butchers and dairy men will
tell the doctors, that the vast
majority of their products go into
the hands and stomachs OF the for
eign residents who are their main
customers. The beef and milk
theory is nearly exploded, dear
| doctors.

The Prince of o-wy-hee.

Way down in tropical cline,
In the heart Of silv'ry sea,
Bound round by a coral band,
Stands the isle Of O-wy-hee,
It's the home Of bright little prince
Who's as dark as an olive tree,
Or the shades OF night when they
rest
On the Isle Of O-wyhee.
He has no cares, he has no wants
He is as free as a rowing bee;
He's master OF every living thing
On the the Isle OF O-wy-hee.
He romps all day on pebbly beach
And wades the surf Of the sea
And he sleeps through the silent
night
Underneath a breadfruit tree.
Now honestly tell me, my little man.
Which would you rather be-
A-romping here in your native land,
Or tho Prince of O-wy-hee.
