BOXER JAMES DUFFY DEAD
One, and Perhaps Two, New Prize
Ring Fatalities.
Strange Circumstances Surrounding
Poor Duffy's Taking Off-HOrtOn
Law Again Discussed.

New York, Jan. 4.-James Duffy, the
young pugilist of Boston, who collapsed
after fighting ten rounds with George JUS
tice in the Broadway Athletic Club on Sat
urday night, died at 2:15 this morning.
He lay unconscious all yesterday in st.
vincents Hospital, suffering from a cere-
bral hemorrbage, blood vessels in his brain
having been ruptured by the concussion.
The strange circumstances surrounding
the fatal accident to the pugilist, who was
stricken in the prize ring, either by blow
or from causes yet to be determined, was
the topic OF discussion among both sporting
men and those opposed to pugilism yesSer-
day. Assembiyman George Horton, the
father of the law W hich permits public box
ing contests, is firm in his belief that box
ing, defined, asitis, nderstnctlegal limits,
is better than irregular and defiant pugiisrn,
as practiced surreptitiouSiy where the letter
of the law is distinctly opposed to It, while
many prominent citizens deplore the fact
that law should exist that would permit
the killing of young boy in prize ring,
under the guse OF mere boxing exhibition.
Tom O'Rourke, manager of the club;
Richard Roche, the referee, and George
Justice, Duffy's opponent in the ring, who
were placed under arrest on Saturday
night, were arraigned in Jefferson Ma rket
court yesterday as suspicious persons"
by Capt. Groo, OF the Mercer street sta
ton. Lawyer E. NJ. Friend represented
the prisoners, and contended that the bOy's
condition was caused by undue excitement
and not from the punishment he received.
Magistrate Flammer held the three pris-
oners in default of $4,000 bail each until
Wednesday afternoon. Martin Engel, the
Tammany ader, signed the bonds and the
prisoners were released.
Another fight, in which one of the con-
testants was fatally injured, is reported
from Garth age Landing, near Fishkill
Landing, where William Catskill, colOred
and Daniel Flanagan. white fought fierce
battle on Saturday night
In the ninth round Flanagan was knocked
senseless, and he is reported to be dying.
Both men live in Fishkill. There has been
enmity between the white and colored
sporting factions of the town for some
time, and several fights have occurred.
No arrests have yet been made.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.

of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apOiis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understoodthan nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring RENE
dies; the real seat of the mischiefis lost tight
of; the stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pam whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any ofthe usual ymptoms OF Stomac hweak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not
in the stomach so much as in nearly every
other organ; in some cases the heart palpi-
tates and is Irregular; in others the kid
neys are affected; in others the bowels are
constipated, with headaches; still others are
troubled with the loss of flesh and appetite.

Music improves prisoners, and there is a

There are three women prisoners, two

POLICEMAN ROUGHLY HANDLED.
Lively Bout Between Citizen and
Officer at the Takoma Box.

Policeman Coffin had tC struggle and
wrestle with a prisoner for nearly thirty
minutes last night, at the Takorna box,
before the patrol wagon reached him with
assistance.
This morning, as a result, he was placed
under a surgeons care with a badly
sprained leg, while his opponent, James
johnson, forfeited $40 collateral in the
police court, on charges of fast driving
and disorderly conduct.
The real name of the prisoner, Coffin
says, is Martin, and he is proprietor of
a wayside cottage ON the Takoma road,
just beyond the District line. He was
driving a buggy fast and recklessly, and
when placed under arrest handled the of
ficer roughly, took away his baton and
kept him busy wrestling until the wagon
came.
An excited crowd watched the bout, but
no one offered to assist the policeman.

Imagination Into the Appearance
of Finer Things.

Everyone knows that the new woman
smokes. A caricatuTe of a new woman
without boomers and cigarette would
be an anomaly. And yet very few or the
century fenlinines have ventured upon the
street in boomers, and fewer one might
even say none, with cigarettes.
But the cigarette is the sign OF the
times 1t is the emblem of emancipation,
and when a woman has attained TO its
use il is difficult To imagine man calling
her his heart ease, or bullying her about
an expense account. She doesn't fit IN
the old niche and "A suita bic pedestal has
not vet been carved for her goddess ship.
But while sentiment is hating and wav-
erinC, business is going straight ahead.
Boudoir cigarettes have been on the mar
ket for two or three years, and now the
boudoir itself is set up for the delectation
OF the smoking-inclined fair one.
This new departure is not a specially ar
ranged room in a private house, but a
boudoir of the thoroughfares, a place to
drop in and have a friendly smoke and
chat, as one formerly stopped for tea
in the course OF an afternoons shopping.
It's novelty has yet the spice of wicked
ness to make it attractive. A cigarette
cafe sounds like sensation; it is more
attractive in it's allurements than a slum-
ming expedition. tits chance to do selne-
thing that will make people exclaim and
prevent their condemnation, for it is per-
fectly proper. Why, certainly so; there is
no harm in a woman's smoking; that was
granted long ago. And il there is no harm,
why shouldn't one smoke down town in a
! cafe?
Well, one may, right here in Washington.
! And more than one has. The fad is be-
coming quite popular. 1t had its rise in
| Boston, where nothing but culture is sup
| posed to flourish. And il culture includes
! cigarette parlors, we shall have cigarette

large cities has made a great change in
our fishymarkets. Not alone have these
aliens popularized fishes never before
used by us, but they have also put nm
end to much of the wastefulness that
once prevailed. In this respect the ltal-
ians deserve a medal. They buy up every
thing that other people won't touch and
also all that..the dealers formerly threw
away. 1t makes big difference in the
markets. Formerly there was waste of
several thousand pounds day In Fulton
Market alone, the greatifish mart of New

Italian friends simply confirms these ex-
