MckinIey's Course Adopted.

Resolution Commencing President
McKinIey's Course Adopted.
A peace resolution, commencing the wise
and patriotic course OF President Mckinley
was adopted by the Board of Trade gov
errors last night. The Cuban relief commit
tee reported that the $500 voted to that
cause had been transmitted to Washington
and letter of thanks was read.
W. H. Leedy, grand secretary of the Odd
Fellows reported that it would be neces-
sary to raise $25, eco in order to have the Odd
Fellows home located here. OF this sum
Mr.. Leedy said the order would raise &c.,
OOO leaving $4,000 to be raised from other
sources in order to secure the location of
the home in Indianapolis. He said that, in
the course of time, the location of the home
here would mean an investment of 100000.
The subject will be taken up at the next
meeting.
The Charity Organization Society wants
to secure the vacant ground in and near
the city for "Pingree potato patches"
where vegetables may be cultivated by the
INDECENT. The plan was Endorsed by the
governors. A plea was made by the society
for garden implements An assessment
against the membership Of cents was or
dered on account of the fees due for mem
bership in the State Board of Commerce.
The Evansville form of county government,
about which a good deal has been said
lately, was Endorsed. The plan of appoint
ing a commission to represent Indiana at
the Omaha exposition was approved and
correspondence on that subject referred to
Governor Mount, who will appoint COM
mission.
The peace resolution adopted was as fol-
lows:
Whereas, The relief committee of the Indian
apolis Board of Trade has considered appeal
for help for the suffering and starving people of
Cuba and has manifested its sympathy for such
sufferers by appropriating $500 out of its fund to
be used for their aid, and has authorized the sec
city and. State, through the daily press of the
city, for further donations in their behalf, and
Whereas, We in favor of peace and depre-
cate war, but of the opinion that the time
has about arrived when the government of the
United States should extend its kindly offices in
a friendly, but firm, manner and say to Spain
that the destruction of life and the starving Of
innocent men, women and children in Cuba must
cease, therefore
Resolved That the Indianapolis Board of Trade
commends the wise. patriotic and conservative
Cuban question and the affairs resulting from
the destruction of the battle ship Maine and be
1t further
Resolved That we most heartily indorse the
spirit manifested by Congress in unanimously
voting the appropriation of $50 000 900 for coast
defense believing that such action viii have
tendency to promote peace rather than war.

he had ever stood in ring before. He was,
in the language of the galleries, rotten. {
Very shortly the crowd got on to him" and
he was Kissed. People began leaving the
hail. and the star event was about TO leave
a bad taste in their mouths. 1t was hastily
arranged that Doc Payne should go on
with Mccoy. The conduct of Nelson disgust
ed Mccoy, and he would have taken great
delight in smashing him right, but he de-
sisted and merely played with him as cat
with a mouse. He did give him one of his
famous corkscrew hooks in the second
round, however, which sent him down and
kept him groggy for a minute. 1t was a
knockout blow, but again the gong sounded
and gave the man time to be revived. The
third round was tame and short.
The go between Payne and Mccoy was
lively and interesting. 1t closed the carni-
val. 1t was announced from the ring that
a special train will run to Columbus on ac-
count OF the McCoy-Ruhlin fight May 4.
1t will leave the Union Station at O'Clock
in the morning and return, leaving Column
bus at o'clock the next morning.

ADJOURNED FOR FIGHTS
COUNCIL CAN'T DO BUSINESS WHILE
THE SCRAPS ARE ON.
An Ordinance to Relieve People Liv-
ing in a Land-LOcked Territory
Street Names Changed.

The session Of the City Council last night
was short one, an adjournment again
being taken in time for the members to go
in a body to witness the fist fight at Tom
linson Hall.
Mr.. Montgomery, of the Board of Public
Works, was present with an ordinance by
the passage of which the board hopes to
solve the problem OF the landlocked Wood
side district. 1t was introduced by DR..
Moffett and provides for the annexation of
the territory lying between Rural street
and the Belt Railroad on the west and east
and south of the right-of-way of the c., Fl.
G. D. Railroad. The south boundary of the
territory is the Belt Railroad, the latter
making a curve and meeting Keystone ave-
nue., which forms the west boundary south
of English avenue. Mr.. Montgomery said
it was the intention of the board to con-
denim the necessary right-of-way and open
Rural street across the Pennsylvania and
c., H. & D. tracks.
There was also introduced last night an
ordinance requiring owners or lessees of
houses to provide separate vessels for green
and dry garbage.
Three ordinances were passed. One
changes the name of Peru avenue,
from Davidson street to st. Clair
street, to Davidson street, and be-
tween Pine street and Massachusetts
avenue to Pine street. Another is the ordi-
nance establishing the grade of Morris
street and requiring the j., M. & l. Railroad
Company and the p, c., G. & st. l.. Rail
way Company to adjust their tracks to con-
form with the grade. The ordinance was
passed as amended by the committee on
sewers, streets and alleys so as to require
the railroad tracks to be lowered two feet
instead of two feet six inches as in the ordi-
nance as originally drawn. The ordinance

Limit.


A larger crowd of Light Artillerymen
than usually gather on drill nights was
present at the company's armory, corner Of
Senate avenue and Sixteenth street, last
night. The cause was the war excitement
in general, and the mastering in Of new re-
cruits in particular. Twenty-four men were
mustered in all but the taking OF the oath
which will be administered Wednesday
night by Lieutenant Callan. The battery is
now but sixteen short of the war footing,
103 men. There are yet half a dozen &C.
cepted applicants to be mustered in and
large number Of applications yet to be con-
sidered.
Captain Curtis complimented the SER
geants highly for their quick work in re-
cruiting men. Orders were received last
Saturday at o'clock to bring the battery
up to a war footing and last nights muster

The lOng-Standing occupation of n

Back through several administrations
it has been the duty of One man to read

President might want to see at some
future time. But, besides this, he read

When he found anything he thought
the President would like to see at once
he clipped it and pasted it on Il sheet

An English actor was a member of a
company snowbound in the Sierras
while en- route from California to the
East. Before the train pulled out of the
drifts they had been reduced to eating
the coarse fare of the railway laborers
and got little enough of that, SO that
they were all ravenously hungry when
the train reached the station, at which
there was a humble restaurant. The

SCIENCE vs.. BRUTE FoacE.
The Clever Steward Thrashes Six
Brawny Firemen.


When the British steamship Ivydene
left BOWS stores, Brooklyn, yesterday
morning for Marseilles and Mediter-
ranean ports, every member of the
crew beneath the officers had profound
respect for the steward and the rules
of the vessel. The stewards authority
and the discipline of the ship had been
questioned only a short time before by
eight firemen, who were shipped in
Brooklyn for the voyage.
The steward proposed to settle the
dispute in istic combat. Six Of the
men accepted the challenge, and every
one of them was either felled to the
deck under the skillful blows of the
steward or cried Enough" as his turn
was reached.
The steward, whose name is Frank
Smith, is an Englishman, hailing from
Sussex. Although not very tall, he Is
powerfully built, and his muscles are
like steel. He knows the rules of the
ring, too, and when not busy about the
vessel is ON the lookout for any of the
crew who will spar with him.
When the new firemen went aboard
yesterday morning they kicked be-
cause they were not allowed far enough
aft, and told the steward in uneOmpll-
mentary terms what they thought of
the fare.
you're a lot Of buffers" said Smith.
s'The rules of this craft go, and so does
the food. If you think you're going to
run things here just put up your dukes,
and I'll show you what your class IS"
Some Of the firemen were big and
brawny, and the task of Furnishing the
steward seemed easy. Two were not
built on such lines. They didn't like
Smiths determined look. Six of the
men accepted the challenge, and, strip
ping to the waist, waited for the en-
counter. Smith Invested himself of IN
necessary garments and called for the
first man. A ring was made on the
deck and a refereee chosen from among
the crew. The stewards first adver-
sary had more strength than skill. After
a few light blows had been exchanged
between them Smith had the fireman
at his mercy.
One after another the firemen faced
the plucky steward. He darted out of
the way Of their clumsy swings, and
landed with telling effect upon their un
guarded bodies. They were thoroughly
punished and acknowledged they were
no match for the county steward
Good feeling was soon restored, how
ever, and in a nearby retreat they
toasted one another with cheering
g1asses.-New York Herald.

THE QUEENS A

When Briton's sons first came ashore
To settle on their island gray,
Each one came loaded with q score
OF things he needed every day.
Each brought q trap, to catch jokes with,
A Bradshaw" to amuse them,
They fetched some "stoues," to weigh
folks with,
And .~'guineas'' to confuse them.
And every man, of this brave band,
Fen those who came by steerage,
Showed proudly, as he stepped on land,
A copy Of ''Burke's Peerage."
He brought a book of precedent"
To shape each thought and action,
And lastly, a full complement
OF calm self-satisfaction.
And when the Briton looked around,
Fol the last time to change things,
The months were "quite bad FORM" he
