Harrington VS. Fisher
At Last Arrangements
Are Completed for
This Match.
King May 60 Against Burns
In a Match the same as Wrestled
last saturdsy-Possible Match
Between Bowett and Ring

The wrestling fever appears to have
struck Calumet hard and since the match
last Saturday night a number OF new
contests have beeu talked OF, One be
tween Rowett and King in the Cornish
style and another between King and
Burns under the same conditions as the
contest between Burns and Rowett.
Arrangements have been made for a
match between Will Fisher and Tim Har.
rington to take place at the Italian Hall
on the Goth inst. There has been con-
siderable rivalry between these two men
ever since the tournament at Laurium
last summer when Fisher threw Harring-
ton and the latt,r has been eagerly
looking for another match ever since.
The contest was arranged for when one
OF the wrestlers injured his shoulder and
had to be postponed, then Fisher was
taken Ill and was confined to his home
for long time. Now both are in good
condition and anxious to have the match.
Martin Messner has agreed to put up
good big purse for the contest and he
will manage the affair. He says he will
give the winner purse and the loser ex-
penses, but the match must be on the
square to satisfy him and secure the
purse. Further arrangements will be
made in few days, but there is no
doubt it will go through.
KINGS FRIENDS AFTER THE FARMER.
The NEWS has deem handed commun-
ication signed by friends OF Jack King
which says;
"Iu view Of the fact that Martin
(Farmer) Burns issued challenge from
the stage at Italian Hall Saturday even
ing to wrestle any man in America mixed
style matcb-catch. as-catch can and Cor
nish-on the same conditions as his
match with Rowett that evening, the
friends OF Jack King desire to announce
through the columns OF the NEWS that
they have picked up the gauntlet in be-
half OF their favorite. 1t has been said
by Burns followers throughout this dis
trict that King had decided advantage
in his last meeting with the Farmer"
owing to the tact that three OF the five
styles in which they were to
wrestle, viz: Cornish, side hold and collar
and elbow, we're tavorite holds with the
man from this city, while Burns did not
pretend to be strong in these three styles.
"In view OF this talk and statement by
Burns from the stage, we, the friends OF
Jack King, hereby agree to match John
King OF Calumet, against Martin (Farmer)
Burns. OF Chicago, for 800 to $500 a
side: match to take place in thirty to
sixty days from date; we also wish to
state that il this proposition is accepted
we will Immediately deposit a suitable
forfeit with the Evening News, or any re-
sponsible individual in this city, to guar
antee Kings appearance at the time spec
flied in the articles OF agreement. Burns
will also be required TO dolikewise, The
conditions OF the match must be pre-
cisely the same as those which governed
the Rowett- Burns match, VIE: two falls
Cornish style and two falls catch-as
catch-can. man winning the two falls in
the shortest time TO have choice OF the
last and decisive bout"

Though the determination of the
places of the fixed stars in the northern
hemisphere has engaged the attention
of many observatories during the whole
OF this century and our knowledge of
the places of the northern stars would
therefore presumably be nearly perfect,
1t is fact that DIR. Gould's work upon
the southern skies practically equalized
our knowledge of the two celestial hem
tspheres, says Professor T. j. j. See In
The Atlantic. Such an achievement is
veritable monument to the American
nation and has added new luster to the
American name. Had the American
people never contributed anything be-
yond the labors of Gould toathe worlds
knowledge of astronomy this magnifi-
cent contribution alone would entitle
the nation to an honorable place in the
eyes of posterity
And yet how little is the work of
Gould known to even the best circle of
American readersl So great was his de-
votlon to the cause Of pure science and
SO oblivious was he of contemporary
fame that none but professional men of
science are able to appreciate his inoom-
parable services to the sublimest of the
sciences. 1t is certain that he has gain
ed place among the greatest astrono-
mers of any age or country and that
the estimate now placed on his work
will only increase with the fight of
centuries If England is justly proud
OF her Newton and Herschel, France of
her Lagrange and Laplaoe Germany of
her Copernicus and Kepler, Italy of her
Leonardo and Galilei, we'll may America
honor her Pierce and Could

The wolves just Laughed.

Sitting in Thede Wyman's store, q
little group of villagers in Sebec, Me-,
talked of wolves, now seldom seen in
Maine, but which half century ago
were much in evidence. William Lyford
told the story Of Seth Browns chase of
two wolves ON snowshoes
"You know Seth, - he said. Zone Of
the smartest and handiest men in his
day that ever cut timber trees or drove
the Penobscot. Up in the Ripogenus re-
gion one February he was out prospect
ing for timber tracts. The snow was
deep, with a light crust, just strong
enough to hold up man ON snowshoes.
Coming upon a little rise of land in a
timber swamp one day, he saw two
wolves little way ahead of him. The
crust would not bear them, and they
could only wallow along in the snow.
Seth would tackle anything that ever
ranged the woods He had no gun, but
he set out after the wolves with his AK
What did those wolves do but circle
round until they got back upon Seth's
tracks. You know how in light snow
the steps of man in snowshoes will
pack down the snow. Once the wolves
got to Seth S tracks the slotes (snowshoe
prints) held them up, and they just ran
on them in a circle till he gave up the
chase. He was SO near that he could al
most have thrown his ak to them, and
he couldn't get step nearer. Seth said
she wolves sat on their launches and
laughed at him when he had to give up
and start along. New York Sun.

The annual excursion to Watch Hill
and Block Island Monday was enjoyed by
a large and heterogeneous crowd of peo-
pie. Stafford turns out the largest num-
Der of people for these annual excursions
of any station on the road. This year
was no exception to the rule, and there
were TAG tickets sold, an increase Of seven
over last year. The number would have
been larger in all probability but for the
threatening aspect Of the weather. Not
withstanding the clouds, no rain fell and
the day proved all that could be desired.
The sound was smooth and contented
with itself and the sail was enioyed by
all. About three-fourths of the people
disembarked at Watch Hill, but the fa-
vorable sailing conditions induced manv
to take the trip to the Island. At both
resorts the committee had arranged for
shore dinners, and full justice was award
ed the steamed CLAIMS and various other
articles that make up first class shore
dinner. The bathing proved one OF the
most popular attractions at the Hill and
many availed themselves of the opportu-
nifty. The bathing suits that are rented
there are very much alike In everything
but size, and there are two styles. The
mems style looks bad enough, but the
women's style is worse. Those who
bathed borrowed no trouble about ap-
pearance, however, but paid close atten.
ton to enjoying themselves. Electric
car rides, the merry go-round, and strolls
up and down the beach, provided diver
sion for all. There was not an accident
to mar the pleasure of the outing. Some
OF the boys were little noisy on the re-
turn trip, and one or two apparently had
on what Is sometimes called a ''load. !"
There are SO many different ways of en-
joying an excursion, that 1t is possible
that pretending to be drunk, or being
drunk, is the best way. but there are
many who will never know from expert
ence. OF the TAG people who attended
Inc excursion the large proportion were
quiet and orderly, and feel better for a |
day at the shore. The committee is to
congratulated on the success of the annu-
al excursion.
