News of the Boxers,

Tom Sharkey and Gus Rubin will meet
tonight in a twenty-five round match at
the Coney Island clubhouse and the
Knowing ones are filled with the impress
sion that the fight will be an excellent
one with Sharkey as the favorite- The
betting now is ten to eight on Sharkey.
Sharkey has few friends in the Fast. as
the sporting men were not well impressed
with the exsailor's tactics in his past en-
counters on the Pacific. coast. Ruhiin Is
liked much as a boxer, as he had won or
lost fairly and cheerfully. and not a few
will gather up all the Sharkey money
that passes across their range of vision.
George Siler will referee and this is in
itself an assurance that the men will
fight only as per prearranged rules. Siler
is a close student of the rules of the
ring and a man of firmness and decision.

He is decided in his opinions, mental
ly alert and free in expressing his
convictions. His sermons shook the
old Dutch church to it's foundation.
The charge made against him by the
church and sustained by the vote of
the Chassis was that he was not sue
cessful as a pastor and the church was
in a financial and spiritual decline.
For nearly two years DR.. Cakes has
had trouble with his consistory. He
complained that they gave him no
support or cooperation. On the wit
ness stand three members ad-
mitted that they never attended the
prayer meetings, and one said he did
Tot even attend Sunday morning
service.
One member Of the consistory is
Hewett Boyce, who, until a year ago
was a warm friend of DR.. Cakes. His
son-in-law, the Rev. Frank B. Seeley,
has no charge, DR.. Cakes friends say.
and the First Reformed Church pulpit
is a shining mark for his ambitions.
Mr.. Boyce has money to spend and
money TO WlLnnOlQ.
Most of the trouble in the church
has been caused by women. Noah
Wolven, a merchant in town and a
warm friend of the pastor, testified
that the trouble started over some Wi
dow shades which had been put UP il
the new parsonage by the Ladies' Aid
society. The color chosen was ugly
and the pastors wife was disappoint-
ed. Mr.. Wolven sent prettier shades
as a present to Mrs. Cakes, and they
were hung. This Infatuated the women
and some left the church. The
trouble is known to this day as the
"Oakes shade racket"
Mr.. Van Vliet testified that for two
years he had attended the church be-
cause he liked DR.. Cakes. During
that period no member of the con-
sistory had spoken to or bid him well
come.
William French testified he had
Joined the church and applied for d
pew, but no notice had been taken Of
him. DR.. Cakes remarked that he
would like to show how he might as
well have lot # Egyptian mummies
in his church as the men who COM
pose his consistory. Mr.. Wolven tes-
titled that in many of the meetings of
the consisto1y business was neglected
for story telling.
DR.. McNair, counsel for the pastor
remarked that usually the voice of
the consistory is the voice of God, but
sometimes there are exceptions"
Mr.. Oakes's friends say that if on
his appeal evidence which he has
against some of the church members
comes out their social standing will
be ruined and divorce suits may follow.

New York, Feb. 19.-One Of those
strange infatuation which sometimes
creep into the heart of man has set
all of Vineland, N. j., to talking, and
may result in the disinheritance of

Camden, where there is inscribed tho
fact that on the 9th of last Septem-
Der William Wells, Jr., was married
to Miss Marah Woodford, a mulatto,

SUNDAY LAWS IN GERMANY.

The German police regulations for
the outward sanctifcation of Sunday
require that all articles offered for sale.
If not removed from their customary
places, shall be covered during the
church hour" Photographers who
exhibit specimens Of their art in
frames outside their rooms provide the
frame with blind, which is drawn
down during the time in which ex-
posture to the public gaze is unlawful,
says The London News. The Berlin
police authorities have lately given
notice that the prohibition extends to
the newspapers in the various Think
hallen. AS Trinkhalle rarely con-
tains any article which can be used
as a veil or curtain, the women who
sell the newspap ers make use of old
newspapers to conceal the copies of
the latest editions. Hence the news
papers which are for sale lie hidden
for while underneath the unsuitable
newspapers. The police regulations
for the sanctification Of the Sunday
are thus suficien ly complied with,
as the police authorities have graci-
ously conceded that yesterdays or last
weeks journal is not considered by
them to be an article for SALE"

BLIND WOMAN FARMER.

Each Season.

While women who farm are nunsr-
Gus in illinois and in the other states
of the union, blind woman farmer ia
seldom seen. There lives in Oak Hill.
Tex, blind girl, who has from a few
acres of land, cultivated by herself,
cleared about 5000 each season for sew
eral years by the growing and sale OF
vegetables. She began with no capital
and an unfeEced piece of uncultivated
land. There is now a neat fence
about her domain, a we'll and pump
in the center, and she has, in addi-
ton to purchasing these, paid for
piano and hack to take her vegetables
to the market, which is twenty miles
from her home.
Every evening during the dry sea-
son she waters certain number of
plants until she has gone over the en-
tire place, when she begins and goes
over it again in the same way. The
active sense of hearing which nature
has given this blind girl in lieu of her
sight and by feeling with her sensitive
fingers she can distinguish the nature
and size of the plants and vegetables
she raises. She is familiar with all
kinds of vegetables and plants, knows
the size they should attain, the col jr
OF their hue and the shape they should

CLEvELAND'S GENEROUS ACT.
Saves an Old Couple from Eviction
from Their Home.

Trenton, N. J ., Feb. 1S.-Under the
rounded slopes of Mount Rose, on the
Princeton road, stands battered
group of farm houses. There Sidney
Griggs, farmer, has fought for forty
years to earn q living from the soil
There for nearly as long his wife has
aided him, but today all that stands
between them and the loss of the old
home is the generosity of Grover
Cleveland. There are some people
about the Princeton pike that do not
take to Griggs. But they acknowledge
that in the forty years that he has been
making living by the plough he has
not asked or received aid from his
neighbors. Two or three years ago mis-
fortune came Under the roof CT the
gray-shingled farmhouse. Day af-
ter day the struggle grew, and then
Griggs turned to the last desperate
source of the farmer-the mortgage.
With the money thus gained Griggs
paid his debts that chung to the farm,
and then bent his back to lifting the
new burden. 1t was little USE The

and after forty years of toll the aged
couple found themselves back at the
beginning, worse, if anything, than
when they had begun. Daird Bellows
bought the farm. You go back to -
said he to the old farmer, "just begin
again, and I'll let you have it at r
cheap rent" Gratefully, the old
couple came back to their home.

who is approaching his three-scOre
of years, will take under his wing
bride of 26. Gen. Kearney is the
son of Fighting Phil" Kearney, and
it is the second time that he has fall
len before the graces of a Kentucky
woman. Some years ago he married
a Miss McNair of Princeton, Ky. She
died, a short time after they had
taken up their home in New York.
The bride-elect, Miss Elizabeth Har
rison, is one of the most accom-
plIshed young ladies of Kentucky.
She is a descendant of the Byrds, the
Carys and the Carriers, the bluest of
the blue blood of the south. Her
father, Col Julian Harrison of Elk
Hills on the James, was considered
the handsomest officer in the confed-
crate army, while the mother, Phoebe
Johnson of Paducah, was the prettiest
bride of her time in Kentucky. Miss
Harrison inherits the beauty of her
family, and has been the reigning
belle in Kentucky and Virginia soci-
ETY..
Another very interesting feature
of the affair is the fact that J. Watts
Kearney, Jr., son of the general, was
at one time a devoted admirer of Miss
Harrison. He is now confined in a
sanitarium at Brookdale, N. J.,
where he was placed by a court at
the instigation of the father for ha-
bitual drunkenness. After his mar
riage the general will take his wife to
New York to reside.

Milwaukee, Feb. 20.-Thus far the
ace for the republican nomination
TOR mayor has been almost a neck
and-neck contest between William
ieuder and H. j. Baumgaertner the
latter supposedly representing the
La Toilette people. The struggle has
been one of the sharpest in the history
of the city. 1t appears at this time
that Mr.. Geuder has a little the bet
ter of the contest. 4 have not the
slightest doubt" said Geuder leader,
that Geuder will be the nominee.
Just at present there is only a slight
dvantage in favor of Geuder, but by
he time the convention is held, there
will be big majority of Geuder del
gates. l have made a very careful
of the city, in connection with
theirs, and from the feeling in the
different wards | estimate that Mr.
euder will have about 151 delegates
o LAG for Baumgaertner. This is
upon the situation at present, but it
is quite sure that the majority will
be much greater at the time of the
convention" The Baumgaertner men
augh at such claims, and declare
their man will gain strength as the
time for the convention approaches.
Geuder was for a long time chair
man of the republican county CON-.
mittee and, though he recently re-
signed, he still controls the party or
ganization in both county and city.
The Payne and Pfister faction is I'M
derstood to be endorsing his candi-
dacy.
Democrats have begun to discuss
with much interest the chances of the
arious candidates for the nomina-
ton for mayor. Many favor H. j.
lehman; ex-Cov. Peck has support
rs, and David S. Roses friends are
pressing his candidacy with vigor.
