Of the remarkable cure effected In the

no one doubts that 1t was wrought as hu
says it was.
The McGinty baby became seriously ill
two weeks ago and as the usual remedies
failed to do any good, and the little ono
lost flesh and strength rapidly, physicians
were summoned They said tho chld's
heart was weak, and that there was no
hope Of its recovery.
The father was in despair and was will.

promised the slightest hupe of sllcCoss.
Finally n ncighbor urged McGinty to
place puppy In tho Daby's crib at night.
"And what them" asked the niys'illtd
father.
Just leave the puppy there" said his
advisers. '"fhat's all. Tho baby will
gain in strength. Tho puppy will lose. .
The experiment was made at once. AZ

WITH THE PUGILISTS.
Women viii Witness tho Fight Be-
tween Csrbett and TItzsimmons.

Carson City, New, Feb. 25.-"Dan''
Stuart has decided to admit women to
the Corbett -Fitzsimmons contest on
Mach II. Many women of this city
have signifed their intention Of wit
Messing tho bout, but 1t is doubtful II
any one OF them knows anything about
the grusome details of a prize fight or
the scantiness of ring apparel. They
will be there. nevertheless.
The cold spell has passed, and with
the disappearing snow goes the gloomy
feeling that has surrounded both pugi-
lists quarters since the blizzard struck
Carson. 1t was cold early yesterday
morning. but when the sun got show
icicles fell from the roofs and snow
rolled from the caves in miniature ava
lanches. The middle of the roads soon
became deep with slush. and the bright
colored s!eiehs which have been kept
on the go by numerous newspaper cor
respondents for a week or more will
hereafter be laid up. probably for the
balance of the winter.
Greater activity was noticeable
about the training quarters. The
morning train brought assistants to
both principals in the coming fight. At
Corbetts Billy Delaney and John
Geoiferies were as welcome as the
mild weather, while Fitzsimmons came
to the depot to meet his old associate,
Jack Stelzner. Fitzsimmons came in
on foot. covering the entire distance
between Cooks ranch and the city at
brisk dog trot, followed by Roeber
and Hickey In a buggy, After short
time in Carson he returned to quarters
in the same way.
Billy Delaney. who trained Corbett
for all his fights. takes the keenest in
terest In Corbetts work. He is really
director-general of the camp. Delaney
says that in his Judgment Corbett Is
quicker stronger and heavier now
than he ever was before while training
for fight.

Among Mr. Woods rca.una for hoins a
foreign missionary were; The greater
need Of w0rkUrS in foreign fields than ut
home; because it is mole scriptural to
preach where Christ Is not known, than
in Christiunizcd lands; because he had a
better opportunity of winning many
moro souls in foreign lands than Mt
home; because the foreign field iS.not for

the Holy Ghost, and He prompted him TO
witness to them, because 1t was Christ i
last com tnnnd because tho hcathen Will he
damned If they do not have Christ because
all in this land will hear Christ whether
he went or not, and some in foreign lands
may not hear of Christ If he did not go;
because, from financial standpoint, more
souls can be won in foreign lands than at
home for the same amount OF money.

charge of his duty. The charges con-
tain three specifications. all of which
allege insubordination. The vote was

Cincinnati, Feb. 25.-Everywhere In

the Ohio river is falling at all points.
IN the region of the source Of the
flood the streams have been going
down for 20 hours, and the danger i5
past. Not less than $1,000,00O loss and
damage to lumbermen and farmers
Is the rough estimate for the Mononga-
hela valley. On the Ohio khere was
more or less loss and damage to rail-
roads all the way down to Portsmouth.
There has been more or less damage
to some business in Steubenyille, Hun
tington, Catlettsburg, Ironton, Hang
ing Rock, Portsmouth, Aberdeen,
Maysyille and several smaller towns,
either In actual loss or in the iacon-
venieace of moving goods. In Ports-
mouth alone over 1900 persons have
been driven from their homes, Much
the same sort of suffering exists In
other cities and towns mentioned. but
Portsmouth is the greatest. School
buildings are being used for homes by
the sufferers, and public charity feeds

15O poor families were driven from
their homes, but they are well shelt-

equal number of families have been
temporarily driven from their homes.
Copey Island. an up river summer
resort, Is under water deep enough to
float the largest river steamer. In
Ludlow. KY. below Covington, the
grounds are deep under water, and it
is feared that the dyke that retains
the great lake will be softened so as
to break and drain the lake when the
waters go down. The back water in
Mill creek, west of the city, has de-
stroyed many thousand dollars worth
of garden stuff.
At Lawrenceburg, KY, there has
been fears for the safety of the big
government dyke built in 1894 for the
protaction of that city. At Ports
