BUFFALO, Sept. 12-The twenty

plonship of the world between Frank
Efne and Kid Lavigne, that was to
nave been the opening contest at the
Hawthorne Athletic Club at Cheek
towaga tonight, was stopped by Sher-

gether in the big inclosure early in the
evening
The Sheriff and a score of deputies

The Sheriff declared that he would not
permit any contest to take place. The
boxers left the ring.
Lavigne and Erne were introduced
The men were in their corners, but the
Sheriff could not be prevailed upon to
let them get together. The vrowd then
left the building.
The Sheriff did not arrest either of
the principals in the preliminary, not
withstanding the managers ordered
them to resume fighting, evidently with
that purpose.
The Corbett-McCoy contest, sched-
uled for October 10Th, will depend upon

A law is made providing that fac

Patent Medicine Almanacs.

One important feature of advertise
ment is the almanac. There are a half
dozen patent medicine firms in ST.
Louis, each of which sends out 1000. coo
almanacs each year. At least 10000 1000
broadcast over the country each year.
The almanacs for a certain year are
shipped out in the fall of the previous
year. The average cost for making and
delivering them is from 50 to $6 and
Sl0 per 1000 As every large patent
medicine establishment now has its own
printing department., the cost of MAX
ing almanacs is reduced to a minimum.
The astronomical portions of the al
manac, including the weather predic-
tions, signs of the zodiac, changes Of
the moon, and so on, are prepared by
some astronomer certain astrono-
mer in Massachusetts has made spe
cialty of doing this work for patent
medicine firms for years. He charges
$3O for preparing the astronomical let
ter press for one years almanac. The
almanac jokes are clipped from daily
and comic papers by some member of
the office force of the firm. The chro-
nology telling of the dates of births
and deaths of great men, the dates of
battles, and other important events, is
prepared in the office. A later fad in
almanacs is to give interesting infor-
nation for farmers, spch as rules for
measuring logs and lumber and wood,
and receipts for hog cholera and corn

Since GaneraI Wood Has Been In Charge

The Health Record of the Always
Heretofore Unhealthy City Pre-
sents an Extraordinary Change
Since Governed by America,
Compared to the Conditions
Before Existing.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. Il
7:15 D. MAS the result Of the general
introduction by General Wood, Mill
tary Governor of Santiago, of Ameri-
can methods of conducting munlc1pal
affairs. this ancient and always un-
healthy city presents a health record
to-day which is quite extraordinary,
considering the conditions that existed
q month ago. The daily death rate or
20 month ago has fallen to ~.
Further evidences of the wisdom and
thoroughness of the new sanitary ar
rangements is supplied by the lessen
ing of sickness among the new troops
The sickness among the Americans
is malaria in a mild form, mild form
of yellow fever and dysentery. General
Wood expects in the course of another
month to make Santiago as healthfui
as the ordinary Southern city in the
United States.
This week all the Spanish prisoners
will leave save the sick.

Original Tactics.

The most remarkable company Of SOL

under Extra Billy" Smith, twice Gov

nickname through connection with the
extensive mail contracts which he had
before the war, his charge to the Gov

to keep the Postoffice Department in a
state of constant ferment. He was a
grand old man Of the rough, honest
type of Blue Jeans" Williams, Lin

sadly neglected, but he owned brains
to spare and horse sense enough for

QUEEN WILHELMINA.
Reports of an Attempt to Assassin
ate the Young Ruler Confirmed.

BERLIN, Sept. i. - Persistent ru-
mors have been current here during
the last few days that, despite all
statements to the contrary, an at
tempt was made upon the life of Queen
Wilhelmina about three weeks ago. One
newspaper, which reports an account
of the affair. on the alleged authority
of Count Limburg- -Stirritt, says that
an Italian fanatic fired thrice from the
woods while the Queen with three
ladies was driving near her residence
at Soestdyk. Two shots went wild, but
the third lodged in the arm of Countess
Limburg- -Stirritt.
The Queen preserved her presence of
mind, and had the affair kept a strict
secret, owing to the approaching en-
thronement.
The would-be assassin was arrested,
SO the story goes. and confessed him
self as an anarchist.

MANLY AND PATRIOTIC.
San Diego Union: President McKin-
ley's talk to the veterans at Camp
Wikoff was characteristic of the man
unaffected, cordial and patriotic. But
there was one sentence in that little
speech that was particularly happy,
and will be especially grateful to thou
sands of soldiers who enlisted for the
war but did not get to the front. Con-
trasting the position of the Santiago
veterans whom he addressed with that
of the 100000 volunteers who never
got beyond the mobilization camps, the
President truly said: you were on the
line of battle: they no less than you
were on the line of duty What more
fitting tribute could be paid to the
patriots who enlisted for war, but had
no opportunity to take part in it?
THE BONES OF COLUMBUS.
Fresno Republican: The Spanish
newspapers demand that when the
Spaniards leave Havana they shall be
permitted to take the bones of Colum-
back to Spain with them. Says the
"ImparciaP': Let us leave the house;
let us leave the city; let us leave the
country All that We plD do. bllt we
cannot leave without bringing with us
our lares. The lares of the Latin race
in America are the bones of Christie
pher Columbus in his leaden coffin in
Havana Other papers, less respect
full, fear that the Yankee pigs will
desecrate the sacred relics by making
a circus exhibit of them. The matter
is purely one of sentiment, and as it
will probably be the policy of our diplo-
mats to concede some sentiment in ex-
change for more practical advantages,
1t is possible that the Spanish desire
will be gratified. Still, even from a
sentimental standpoint good case
might be made out for the retention of
the grave in Havana. Columbus was
not a Spaniard, but an Italian; he re-
ceived but tardy support from the
Spanish Government and no loyalty
from his sailors. He was deceived and
cheated by Spain throughout his life,
and has received far more post-mortem
glory in America than in any other
country. The new world he gave to
Spain has been treated as he was
treated, and now that it is at last freed
he would doubtless, If he could speak,
prefer to share it's freedom.

The election was marked by compar-
ative apathy on the part of the Re
publicans, who felt sure, while the
Democrats took more interest with a
desire to make a better showing than
in 1894 or 1886, and put some vim in
the campaign, the result of which was
