INTERESTED IN THE FIGHT,

Judge Ong, of Cleveland, was deeply
interested in the prize fight. All day
he was more or less fidgety, and when
at last news reached the court house
that Fitzsimmons had ended the whole
mater by punching Corbett In the
stomach, Judge Ong suspended the
business Of the court long enough to
make the announcement to the jury.
Judge Ong announced that the contest
had been eleven rounds. and when he
was informed that he was mistaken, he
agan suspended business and In digni-
fed tones informed the jury that he
had made a mistake and that the fight
had ended in the fourteenth instead OF
the eleventh round We have read Of

A LIVELY FIGHT.
Snecial TO the Register.

Special to the ReglSlti.
Petersburg. w. Va, March 21.-A
lively glove contest took place last
night in the Fuller club rooms on lower
Ann street. between two local pugs.
II was witnessed by few sports. Inc
men were John Depue and SLICK
Smith. and the fight was for a purse.
A dispute arose over the selection or
referee at first, but this matter was
soon settled and the men stepped TO
the center of twenty-four foot ring
and shook hands, at once commencing
to spar for an opening. Smith was OH
the aggressive, landing four blows on
his opponents face, bringing blood;
Depue rushed and on the breakaway
Smith landed a terrific right hand
swing on Depues jaw. The men
clinched and were on the ropes when
Depue dealt Smith a heavy heart blow
and received one on his neck. A hard
body blow stops the rush by Smith,
and Depue also gives another JaD on
the neck and receives one in the race
Second Round-Smith is violent and
rushes Depue to the ropes, and re-
ceives one on the neck. Depue drops
glove and then rushes and labs smith
several times on head and face, Smith
gave ground The round ended with
both men much fatigued.
Round three was marked by sparring
for wind.
Round four and five were in Smiths
favor and at the call of time for the
sixth round Depue, although making
an effort to get on his feet, could not,
and the fight was given TO Smith.

Fruits Canned at Home.

It is said the American stomach has
universally suffered from the use of
canned goods. This. of course, applies
only to bought goods which contain
some chemical to preserve them. Peas,
beans and tomatoes are treated to pre-
serve their color, and with the excep-
ton of tomatoes all vegetables, it is
said, contain something to prevent
fermentation. Fruits, being without
starch, keep more easily than veget-
ables, but many are variously treated
to insure their fair appearance as COM
mercial articles. Nearly all fruits, and
some vegetables, are easily canned for
winter use; and if a housekeeper once
supplies her own stOrerOOm, bought
goods will never after have an attrac-
ton for her. It is a mystery why we
use bought canned tomatoes when we
are so often warned against their jur-
ious effects, and when home-canned
ones are so much better. altogether
wholesome, so easily prepared and
keep so we'll. Perhaps it is because OF
an impression that the bought ones, at
nine or ten cents can, are cheaper.
This is not the case. The first cost of
quart jars, at retail, is sixty cents a
dozen. Tomatoes, at the height of
their season, can be bought, even in
cities, at twenty-five or even twenty
cents bushel. So even the first season
quart jar would not cost ten cents,
and after that the cost of the jars can
be subtracted, making the cost of the
canned vegetable nomi al.-Ella Nor
