A GREAT BATTLE
OF MIDDLE-W WEIGHTS
Mccoy and Creedon Meet at
Long Island City To-
Night.
Betting FaVors the American, But
the Australian Has Many
Friends.
special Dispatch to TIE CALL

special Dispatch to THE CALL
NEW YORK, Dec. 16-The most i'm
portant middle-weight battle fought in
this vicinity since the days when Jack
Dempsey, Johnny Regan, George La
Blanche and other ring notables
struggled for cham pionship honors, will
be decided in the arena of the Long Island
City Athletic Club tomorrow night be-
tween Mccoy and Creedon. The men
will fight at catchweights, and neither
viii be down to the strict middIe-weight
limit of 158 pounds.
The con test means much to both men,
because the middle weight cham p1on ship
and a purse OF $500 are involved. Each
man appears supremely confident of the
result, and as both are reported to be in
the best physical condition, great battle
is expe cted.
Mccoy is unquestionab bly, the best mid
ole-weigh in Amer lea, while Creedon is the
best Australian now fighting in the ne igh-
borhood OF 15S pounds. Both men have
many friends, McCoy's being slightly in
the majority.
When the match was made three
months ago many good judges were of
the opinion that Mccoy would enter the
ring 2 10 l favorite, and the fact that
odds OF only 10 to are laid against the
Australians chances indicate the high re-
gard in which he is held by the wise ones.
Creedon and Mccoy are as unlike in
their style OF fighting as two mon could
possibly be. The Australian is short ana
chunky. while the American is tall and
wiry. Creedon is of the old school OF
boxing. He hts on the hurricane or
der, and depends moro on the force of his
blows than science to win a tight. He
likes to fight al short range and mis- usual
points of attack is his opponents body.
He can hit a terrific blow, and the Aus
tralian's friends believe that his ability
10 strike effectively will give him q victory

LONDON, Dec. 16.-Later details were
received to-day on the march of General
Westmacotts brigade down the Bara Val

the retreat was more serious than at first
supposed. A dispatch from the Reuter-

Tine troops had to march in river

wife IN urderer. He says that on the way
Davidson threw off the mask of insanity

every feature of the trial. though during
its progress he appeared to be utterly OBJ
livious to all Surroundings. Taking a
picture of his wife and babe from his
pocket the latter having been dead som e
years, he burst into tears and exclaimed !:
"They are both dead, and now / am dead

fateful day in the streets OF Randsburg
He said he knew what he was doing, but

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16.-A green baby was
curious freak which came to the City
Dispensary on Thursday morning. Gilmore
Fry, colored, Is months old, was taken
there by her mother. 1he baby was turn
ing green and the mother was greatly
alarmed. The child was light mulatto
and its skin, and especially the whites of
the eyes, had decided green tinge. Per-
sistent questioning OF the mother by the
physician ELECTED the fact that some days

PHILIPPINES AT PEACE.
lnsurgent Chiefs Surrender, Are
PardOned and Permitted to
Leave the Country.

Copyright, 1897, by James Gordon Bennett.
MADRID, Dec. 16.-Peace has finally
been secured in the PHILIPPINES. The act
OF surrender, bearing the signatures of
Llanera Aguenaldo and other insurgent
chiefs has been drawn up and 1t was
handed yesterday to General Primo de
Rivera, who accepted their submission in
the name of the Spanish Government.
Hostilities were at once suspended and
all the various groups gave themselves up
with their arms to-day.
The only condition asked by the chiefs
is free pardon and money with which TO
emigrate. Both conditions were agreed to
by the captain-general. The rebel chiefs
will embark for Hongkong on Decem-
Der II.
The news has filled the Ministry with
satisfaction while the success of General
Primo de Rivsrs's negotiations is the best
contradiction of the absurd rumor current t
for the last Jew days that he is to be re-
called. l am officially assured that there
never was any question of such a thing.

If we review our life at middle
age we are apt to find that what we
have most dreaded, what has made
us most unhappy, is but a shadow
of the Imagination.
Woman is in most cases amiable
as man is otherwise. But when she
is irritable by temperament, and
has never subjected her irritation
to any sort Of discipline, a striped
hyena is companionable by CON-
|parison.
Mans fortune depends far less on
will, effort and circumstance COM
bined than on temperament alone.
Since through natures law we
are all born inevitably Of love, he
whose life lacks that one essential
lis a contradiction and a failure.
II is better to be disappointed
Throughout life in every hope we
have cherished than to be deficient
lin hope. The extinction of hope is
virtually death.
To lose our last friend is sad in
deed, but nothing like SO sad as
never to have gained our first

DIVINITY OF COURTS.

A Wisconsin Judge has been muz-
zled by the supreme court OF that
state.
The Judge, w. +. Bailey, was a
candidate for reelection last spring.
A prominent lawyer wrote a letter
to local paper charging the Judge
with extravaganza in the manage
ment of the court and with venality
in his decisions. The letter was
printed and backed up by a strong
editorial.
Judge Bailey promptly brought
the lawyer and editor before him
for contempt of court and gave both
Jail sentence. The supreme court
issued writ of prohibition. The
opinion, written by Justice Winslow
has Just been filed. In the course
of an exhaustive review he says /:
"If there can be any more effectual
way to gag the press and subvert
freedom of speech we do not know
where to find it. Under such a
rule the merits of a sitting judge
may be rehearsed, but as to his de-
merits there must be profound 81
lence. In our opinion no such di-
vinity doth hedge about judge
certainly not when he is candidate
for public Office"
The divinity that hedged about
king has long since been stripped
from the executive officials in repub-
lies, ,'but the courts still cling tenac-
iously to special privileges. Courts
are being deprived of their immunity
from proper criticism, when it does
not interfere with the course If JUS
tice. Sensible people no longer re-
gard it as high treason if decision
of the supreme court is not accepted
as inspired. Evansville Courier

made of Italian marble and is very

Molasses as Fuel.

The lower grades of molases have
proved unsaleable at any price.
Many Louisiana planters dumped
molasses into the bayous, until the
authorities forbade it. 1t is now
used as fuel, being sprinkled by a
machine over the bagasse, or the
sugar cane from which the juice
has been extracted. This, when
put into the fire, burns with
strong heat. Its coal value is
greater than its value for any other
use, and over a hundred thousand
tons were SO used last year.-W. G.
