"MY Old Dutch" |"

The costermonger's song entitled MY Old
Datch" has awakened the curiosity Of great
many persons in this vicinity, and THE NEWS

the title. There are probably very few per-
sons who are enough posted in the vernacular
Of the costermonger to know what the pc
GUITAR title means. To tho resident of White
chapel il is simple enough. When the coster
begins to keep STEADY COMPANY" with some
Liza" o' his acquaintance he calls her his
little Doner. " When they are married she
becomes TO him his Dutch Clock" and when
both have aged she is his "O.d Dutch" The

phrase of word used among the swell set.
When ons of them are married his wife, when
he sp-aks of her TO n friend, is regular
duchess The coster however, says: Lord,

then they attacked him. choking and
throwing him TO the floor and tearing

Allison suggested Wilson.

Washington, Jan Ex-senator Allison
says that the report that President elect
Mckinley had decided to invite eX-
Representative Wilson Of Iowa to place
in his cabinet. as secretary OF agricul-
ture, at his suggestion. had for its foun-
daton the fact that he had recon-
rlended Mr.. Wilson for this office to Mr..
Mckinley. lie said. however, that he
had received no verification OF the re-
port that the nomination had been de-
cided upon. The senator added that
Major Mckinley had asked him If he
knew a practical farmer from the west
whom he could recommend. MIR. Allison
said he had then suggested Mr.. Wilson,
whom Mr.. Mckinley had known as a
member OF the house. and urged him in
strong terms. but that the president
elect had not indicated any decision.
II hope, however" he added. that Mr..
Wilson's fitness has SO grown upon

STANDING OF THE rono CLUBS.
WHITE AND soILY SMITH DRAW.

The 25-round bout between Solly Smith
of Los Angeles and Tommy White OF
Chicago, which took place at the
Bohemian Sporting Club at New York
last night resulted in draw.
The boys weighed in at 122 pounds and
they put up one of the fastest contests
that has ever been seen in the metropo-
lis. White had the advantage in height,
but Solly counterscted this by his wonder
fully strong and aggressive work.
He swung aad jsbbed with both hands,
and it looked as II he would have won
twice during the mill when he staggered
White with right crosses on the jsw.
Whites cIeverness aided him very efec-
lively in avoiding Smiths vicious
onslsugbts and he frequently stopped
the Californian with left hand jabs on the
face and neck.
The decision of the referee in calling
the bout draw met with the approva |
of the spectators, among whom were some
OF the best known sporting men in this
city and throughout the Eastern States,
and there were q good many prominent
pugilists present, and they one and all
said that the bout vas a hard ana fast
one. and both contestants deserved great
credit for their work.
The difference in their respective styles
OF lighting YVES as marked as was the
differences in their physique. White has
HE right In of little use TO him and his
blows lack steam. Smith fights in cyclone
fashion, keeping both nands at work
most of the time, and swinging for every
thing in sight.
Smith really had but one bad round !;
that was the thirteenth. White had
many bad rounds, and at the close of the
fight he retired with sore body, lips
that were badly puffed, a swollen eye and
. nose which had sprung a leak.
Smith sustained scarcely any punish
ment, and came out of the fight with very
few marks. He was the aggressor
throughout. He used swinging tactics
most of the time, varied now and again
with straight punches. He got home hard
and often on Whites face and body.
The result OF the mill leaves the question
~ to which is the better man still in
doubt.
The nght was fairly even and the men
fought all the time. In the thirteenth
round White started the blood from
Smiths nose, and had his man shaky
when the boil rang. Smith evened up in
the next with q right cross on the jaw,
which staggered White. Bo tn men were
weak In the sixtesnth. Smith tried to
end the fight in the twenty-first with a
pivot blow, but missed. White did not
begin to use bis right until the later
part OF the bout, but when he did, it was
with good effect.
