For scientific ..Points.v

special to the Indianapo4.~ journal.
PORTLAND, Ind, TAI u.-Lovers of the
fstic art had a good time in this city last
several bouts for scientific points be-
ing pulled off. The events were given in
Athletic Hall, which was crowded to the
walls. Spider Kelley, of California, was
matched against Harry Burden, a colored
lad of this city, for six rounds. The con-
test warmed up as it proceeded, and Burden
succeeded in knocking Kelley down twice,
the black man going down once. Burden
was not in shape to spar and made some
bad breaks toward fouling. George Bryan,
of this city, and Tommy Murphy. of st.
Louis, went on for three rounds. 1T was a
rather tame affair. Kelley and Murphy
gave three rounds of the biff-bang style,
which set the crowd wild with enthusiasm.

FOR SANITARY REASONS.

CHICAGO, March 9.-The Posts
Washington special says: If forebod-
ing based on scientific advices as TO
the sanitary conditions in Cuba are
half realized there will be a new and
strong reason for American interven-
ton n Cuabn affairs which has not
yet been preached, and it is that peace
must be restored in order to protect
the people of the United States from
the danger of epidemics.
1t is believed by the officials of the
Marine Hospital service and by expe-
rienced naval officials who are ac-
quainted with the conditions that Cuba
will be overrun by a devastating cpl
demic of yellow fever during the COM
ing summer. If the disease should as
sumo a form as desperately bad as an
ticipateG nothing but miracle could
prevent it from being communicated
to the large American cities along the
Atlantic Coast and thence to the in

ton said to-day that the President
may find himself obliged to interfere

embodying the conclusions of the COM
mittee. These conclusions are divided
under two heads. as follows:
"F'irst-That the executive has the
power to make such notifications as
may be found advisable and therefore
10 legislation is needed
"Second-The committee is agreed
that classification has been tooextensiye
and that certain places that have been
classified should be excluded from class
ification so that fourteen appointments
may be made, not through examination,
but al the pleasure of the head of the
department or bureau.
The committee therefore is of the
poinion that the President should make
certain notifications n the existing civil
service rules, and should restore to the
heads of departments and the heads Of
bureaus the appointment of certain
classes Of officials.
The committee, however, recognizes
that its province in this is purely adyis-
DRY. since it has no legislation to pro

Descent of Love.

Hath man e'er had experience like this
Cor poets sing love which children
And bliss of love therein is laughing
stock;
Their silly words make creed for common
menD
Our life had long been dreamy holiday
Till when, one even on the bleak high
way,
I told her that I loved her, and she left
Her soul upon my lips; and thus we staid
Bereft of earth. And then % stranger we
fed
Down the bleak highway till the places
Fear
Had closed his wings and left from follow
ingi
So here, within sound OF her sweet sing
ing
This summers day I fathom that dread
time
And liIlen it--how up some desert peak
Sublime went ancient men and heard God
speak
And won His law. But once they went, nc
more,
Yea. though Gods dreams ran burning IL
their brain,
They hurried to the ways of humble men
Nor prayed of Him to visit them again

Western Elevator Company in this city
not long ago, the Minneapolis lawyer
who represented the elevator company.
at the conclusion of the hearing and
before the Judge had delivered his in
structions to the jury, sent up to the
courts desk a few paragraphs which
he desired the court to read to the jury
as a part of the instructions. Judge
Andrews seemed to be trying to read
the lawyers scribbling for quite awhile.
and finally he said in all soberness,
addressing his remarks to the lawyer

what you say"
"Wen what Is it,"
Hey you got any partickler religun?"
We'll no..
But the Methodist is purity good,

II think it is
And the Baptist amt got no pizen in

NO, indeed"
And them Presbyterians and United

And them Universalists stand fair
show, don't they?"
Yes | reckon they do

Heun says it's right, but l says it's
wrong. What's yo'r opinion bout it,
Does the kind you mean permit a
man to have more than one wife,
asked of Jed.
She do he answered. Pm sorter
| reckonin on bout five of 'em in case
go. In course, the ole woman will be
fust though she's got to prance around

Did you ever hear of the 0. K. reli-

Never did, sab. Whar is it at?''
Its coming down through this part
of the country in a few weeks. 1t per-
mits every woman to have six hus-
bands. and in case she's married she
needn't keep her old husband at ALL"
The woman sprang up and ran down
to the road and began TO look up and
down. Jed smoked away in a vigorous
manner for a minute and then called
out to her
What you lookin' fur Sary?"
Fur that o. K. religion l want 'em
to put me down fur heaps O. the reli-
gion and from five to eight husbands"

/ Jed, ar the Baptist religun good

Yes
Then I'll sot down and finish my
pipe, and I consider to believe that we
won't hev no trouble in this yere fam

Next morning when I rode away Jed
walked beside my horse for half a mile,
and at parting he said:
