TRUST OF PRIZE FIGHTERS.
Parson Davies Is Working on a
Scheme to Corner the Manly

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.5-"P,a rson" Davies
has gone East to interest other man
ayers in a scheme of forming a prize
fighters trust. He will consult Tom
ORourke, William Brady, James A.
Kennedy and others, and says he can
beneficial not only to them and the
fighters, but also to the public at large
The trust is to be confined at first
to the heavyweights-not to Corbett
who has retired nor to Fitzsimmons.
who will not fight any more. but TO
the younger crop, Mccoy, Mari, Choyn-
ski, Jeffries Rubin, or any others
who have similar aspirations
The scheme is, in brief, to have the
public raise a subscription, not more
than 81 to be accepted from any one
person. of $4,000, with which a suitable
championship belt is to be purchased
for presentation to the winner. If Nc
Coy, for instance, retains it after three
fights, or holds it for three years, it is
to become his property. The purse to
be contested for is $4,000.
II do not see why we should not
have trust" said the parson today.
The base ball people have one and
certainly it is very beneficial to the
managers and the players. If a ball
tosser does anything wrong he can be
disciplined He may throw a game
so / say there should be some means
of making fakes impossible 1t can
DO done by a trust. If it should be
found that two fighters have deceived
the public the trust can prevent them
from getting another engagement at
any club affiliated with it.
And there has been altogether too
much talk for advertising puI poses by
actors. Lovers of boxing want to e
fights and care nothing about talk
With a trust it will be fight and not
chin music
My plan is to have all challenges
accompanied by deposit of $1,000, and
to be accepted within thirty days after
issuance, the contest to take place not
sooner than four months nor more
tran eight months afterwards. Boxing
should be on a business basis This is
the itnention of the proposed trust and
/ believe the formation is only the
matter of a little time"

DRINKING AMONG WOMEN
REV. DIR. KEANE SAYS 1T is IN
CREASING
Address Delivered by the Former St.
Paul Clergyman at the Lincoln
Celebration OF the Sacred Thirst
SOciety-Fine Musical Pro-
gramme in Connection With 1t.

Fully 300 people assembled in Cretin
hall last night to listen to an address
by rather j. j. keane, of Mime polls
and the programme which the lad es of
the Sacred Thirst society had prepared
The occasion was held in celebration
OF the anniversary of Lincoln's birth
day. The platform was hung with pat
r1o1c colors, while to the right of the
stage stood a large framed picture of
Lincoln, resting on an easel. The pic
ture was also draped in the national
colors
Or the platform were seated the Off
GERS of the Sacred Thirst society, to-
gether with Fathers Keane of Mime
apolis, and Heffron, of st. Paul.
The programme was opened with a
word of welcome by the president of
the Sacred Thirst society The first
musical number on the programme was
a piano solo by Miss Matte Heating. of
Waseca. John F. Gehan was greeted
with a burst of applause. Mr.. Gehan
sang a solo which was warmly received.
Miss Charlotte Parry Smith gave d
reading containing a touch of the senti-
ment of the evening. 1t dealt with the
war times. Miss Smith was also ten
dered warm invocation.
Mrs. s. V. Harris contributed much
to the excellence Of the programme with
a soprano solo. She was encored sew
eral times, which she gracefully
acknowledged.
Father Keane, in opening his address,
said a number of happy things about
St Paul and his priesthood here some
years ago. He spoke of the proud
record which the ladies had made in
their crusade against the liquor traffic.
He said in part:
During all these years of crusade
against the liquor traffic, we had ae-
complished much. The drink habit
among men has greatly decreased, but
why has it's sale not also decreased
Why, 1 will tell you. 1t is because the
drinking habit is increasing among
women.
1T is the women who make the home
and the future of our coming genera
ton, and, if they practice intemper-
ance, what are we to do? Why was it
that Rome fell right in the midst of the
most prosperous reign the world has
ever known? 1t was said in the time
of Augustus that to be a Roman was
| greater than TO be king. What then
was the cause of the fall of that colossal
empire? 1t was the degenerate condi-
ton of the women Of Rome.
Il am in favor of prohibition at all
times, and, if we cannot have prohibi-
| ton, We might have conf1agration. l
| once got into a small town and / asked
| the lady where 1 was stopping if there
were any Catholics in the town. She
| replied that they had neither Catho-
lies nor saloons. I confess 1 felt morti-
fed, and 1 said nothing. 1 had my
say later when the Prohibitionists were
| holding a meeting.
Il am glad to see the Catholic women
| engaged in such a noble work I think
| even more could be done. The Catho-
| lie women all over the world should
| make every effort to reclaim those upon
whose sobriety the happiness of fami-
| lies depends.

were different from what they are now

BLOOD POISON
Scientifically known as syphilis)

Is more fatal than leprosy in it's progressive
onward tendency to dissolution and death.
This disease, if not properly treated destroys
the brain, bones, muscles and nerves of its
victims. 1t not only disfgures face. body and
limbs with unsightly sores, and fills the
mouth, throat and tongue with raw, corrod-
ing ulcers, and causes indescribable agony
when 1t reaches and eats into the bony struct-
ure, and emits a sickening foul, penetrating
odor, but the worst of 1t all, it is often trans
mitted to generations unborn.
This disease is contagious and is usually
contracted by contact with some person who
has the disease. The possessor of it soon
realizes that he has a formidable enemy to
combat, and If the proper treatment is not
at once adopted, pimples, sores and blotches
appear on the face and body in about three
months. Burning and mercury will not cure
and as these are the weapons usually en-
ployed by ordinary physicians to combat this
terrible disease, it behooves its victim to
make a wise selection of his medical attend
ant.
1t is certainly disheartening to a patient
to find that the treatment he Is given for a
disease Is more disastrous than the disease
itself. Such is the case however, with the
usual treatment given Notwithstanding the
great progress made in many branches of
medicine, most doctors have failed absolutely
to find a successful treatment for blood
poison; they give but one kind of medicine;
they know but one treatment, and, whether
in the form OF powder, pill or LIQUID, these
doctors prescriptions are always the same
potash or mercury. Too much cannot be said
OF the horrible and disastrous effects of these
drugs. Unable to rid the system of the poison
they direct their efforts toward covering up
the symptoms from view. There is but one
effect to be obtained from potash and mer-
cury-they bottle up the poison and dry It up
in the system, but it must be remembered that
they dry up the marrow in the bones at the
same time. No sooner has the system taken on
the full effects of these drugs than the elias

lowed by racking pains. Under such treatment
it is but a short step from vigor and health
to pair of crutches. With this wreck of the
system often comes falling of the hair and
eyebrows, loss of finger nails and decay
of the bones, a condition most horrible This
is no overdrawn picture, for the world today
is full of these hobbling mercurial wrecks
Until my discovery, syphilis was incurable
It always baff1ed the doctors While they sue
ceeded in bottling UP the poison in the sys-
tenn, 1t always breaks forth again. l offer
treatment purely vegetable, powerful in its
effect, yet harmless in every way. For thirty
years have been curing blood diseases from
the most violent to the mildest cases. If you
are afflicted with this terrible poison, call on
me for particulars.
Ifyop see any part Of this lad" used by
