San Francisco, March 22-"Of all the
prizefighters who are aspirants for
championship honors," said Bob Fltz-
simmons yesterday, II believe Peter
Maher is the greatest believe he can
whip Corbet>. Choynski. Goddard. Shar-
key and all the rest While Choynsh
is the most vicious puneher of them all
he does not possess the ring general
ship of Mayer. Such men as Sullivan
have absolutely no show of victory IN
modern pu2ilism. They cannot endure
nor can thoy escape the onslaught of a
modern puelst. 1t is my opinion that
even a Second rate fighter can put them
out"

The REPORTER has for many years
been in favor of amendment of the pro.
hibitory law so as to provide for the
sale of spirituous liquors for medicinal
purposes by druggists under proper re-
strctions and limitations. This is not
law, however, and in towns where there
are no liquor agents there is ne way for
the legal sale of liquors for medicinal
purposes. This is feature of the law
that wcakens rather than strengthens it
aud some time it will be changed. Until
it is, Il town like Skowhegan should
have legal liquor agency.

Lord was laid on him. The sisters told him that he was handicapped in his hunt for grace; there was an ap- parent inconsistency between an earn est and contrite heart and such a broad foundation for a jag; he was expecting too much of the Lord when he asked to be taken just as he was without one plea. He told the sis ters that they might have the whis- key One of them took it and said, "I'll go out to- the back door and break the bottle.' The searcher af- ter light sprang to his feet. "For Gods sake, don't waste it." he cried, q don't want it for I'll never drink again. Give it to some poor unregen- crate devil who wants a drink and hasn't the money to buy it. There is good stuff in that man; his charit- able impulse, though not precisely the right kind is much better than none at all.
 There is a growing but, i believe, not a we'll grounded suspicion that much of the mutton served at Phoe- nix restaurants is goats flesh. It is hinted by some people that even the pork spare ribs are open to suspic- ion of having been taken from with in the skin of a goat. Proponents of this theory of substitution base it upon what they aiiege to be two facts, that the number of sheep and hogs in the valley is not sufficient to supply all the mutton and pork spare ribs used in the course of month. On the other hand the goat supply is al most unlimited I've heard this thing talked about in restaurants and din ing rooms for a month. The other day I was sitting beside a young man whose order for mutton had just been executed. He tasted it and pushed the plate away, saying, 'f1'1l be cussed if that's mutton. If that ain't a sec tion of a goat I'll eat my hat. Do you kncw they're selling goat meat here for sheep? rve heard 1t for a long time but I didn't believe it till yesterday I was driving in the coun- try and passed one of the slaughter houses. There was a goat standing in front of it and I saw four more in little corral in the rear. Them goats wasn't there fer their health J Many a man has been hung on less
 
 
 Said a gentleman the other day who has lately returned from an ex- tensive residence in the east and from tour of Mexico: 'I would like to make a suggestion to the bands o1 Phoenix. Their programmes should always be closed with a national or patriotic air, say the Star spangled Banner Hail Columbia or Amer iea,' though the latter is the same as the air of God Save the Queen Eth CT of the former would be better It is the practice of all marine and the leading eastern bands to end their programmes in this way. In Mexico the last piece is always a national air. French bands always close with the Marseil1aise English bands in- variably end with God Save the Queen.'" When the Pioneer band began giving public concerts the last number of the programme was al ways America" but for some reason the practice was abandoned
