Boxing Bout...Not Crying Over
His Defeat.

PHILADELPHIA, April 12.-Jack Daily,
of Wilmington, and Jack Everhart, of
New Orleans, appeared tonight In the
arena of the Quaker City Athletic club

ing struck. In the fourth round DAILY
went at the New Orleans man and
landed repeatedly with his left on Ev-
erhart's neck The latter was doing
practically no leading, evidently await
ing an opportunity to land his right.
The fifth round was a repetition of the
fourth, Everhart sent Daly's head
back with a stiff left punch just as the
round closed. The sixth round was
sligtly in favor of Daily. The fight was
Days.
While the bout between Boyle and
Mcmahon was on, James j. Corbett
came into the arena. The crowd cheer
ed wildly, and there were loud cries for
a speech. At the conclusion of the
sixth round Corbett climbed into the
ring and said: Gentlemen, l thank
you kindly for this reception. ] want
to say to you all that l was whipped
honestly and fairly by Mr. Fitzsim-
mons. 1 don't intend to go and drink

The Curse
Of Mankind!.

The most horrible disease to which
the human family is subject is conta-
gious blood poison. 1t has always
baffled the doctors, for Notwithstanding
the progress made in some branches OF
medicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover q cure for it. Whether in the
form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors prescription is always the same
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto II. Ebert, who resides at the
corner of 22d Street, and Avenue NJ,
Galveston, Texas, had a severe expert
ence with this dreadful disease, and
under date of April sth, 1896, writes:
"Several years ago l was so unfortu-
nate as to contract contagious blood
poison, and was under treatment of the
best physicians continuously for toxr
years. As soon as l discovered that had

doctors in my State, and took his

Key-Hints In Season.
1t seems to me the most graceful sen.
timent expressed in poetry for the past
few years by ali American girl has come
from the charmed pen of Miss Jean
Wright of Louisville. Her verse has
been frequently set to music, ard 1 have
had several requests of late for knowl-
edge as to her personality.
She is southern girl, born in Louis-
Vile, where she still lives. She has been
writing in verse since childhood, and
her talent has improved each year. Aside
from the original ideas which find ex-
preston in her poems she has an unusu-
al faculty of translation, ard, while this
part of her work is not sufficiently nu-
merous to speak finally of her eventual
success in this ambition, several of her
translations are considered exceedingly
clever.
All Of Miss Wright's work is notice
able for a lack of TIE amateurish and
is surprisingly marked by a certain
moderation and finish one would only
expect in an older writer. She combines
all true southerner' s love for the beau
