Jim COrbett Eager.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 2O.-The fight
here tonight between Kid Mccoy and Gus
Rubin, the latter of Cleveland, resulted in
a victory for Mccoy after twenty rounds
Three thousand persons were in the Alham-
bra, where the fight was held. There was
little betting on the result, and the show
ing made by Rubin was a surprise. He
stood lot of punishment, and was always
ready to come back for more He was APP
parently strong at the finish. Mccoy says
that he will now meet Goddard and then
Chonyski There was great difference in
the weight of the men, Mccoy, according to
his statement, weighing 157 pounds, and
Rubin, according to Billy Madden, his man
ager, tipping the scales al $50 pounds. Sixty
per cent of the gate receipts are to be di-
vided between the men, Mccoy taking IS
per cent. and Rubin % per cent, in place Of
$500 purse
George Siler, of Chicago, acted as referee.
When he rendered his decision Jim Corbett
leaped into the ring and asked Mccoy to
fight him, but the latter declined to consider
the matter, and refused to make any ar
rangements. AS curtain raiser Kid Broad
and Jack Hamilton fought twelve rounds at
catch weights Broad got the decision.
Mccoy entered the ring at 1880. Behind
him were Con Reilly, Frank Burns, Homer
Selby, Doc Payne and Frank Zimpher. He
looked in the pink Of condition, but showed
a marked sallowness. His hands were in
bandages. There was long wait before
Rubin put in an appearance, and Mccoy
walked around the ring, shaking hands with
his friends. When Rubin entered the ring
Mccoy shook him by the hand. Ruhlin's
seconds were Billy Madden, Tommy Ryan,
Charlie Golf and Tom Cawley. The an
nouncer read challenges from Goddard, who
offers to stop Mccoy in twelve rounds;
Peter Maher and Stockings Conroy. Siler
then called the men into the center of the
ring and gave them their final instructions.
Rubin doomed up in every way bigger than
his opponent. The gong sounded at 1O:45.

HARD CRAB INDUSTRY

Easoon, Md, Jan. 6-To indicate the
extent and value of the hard crab busl-
ness in the Choptank river and tribu-
tary creeks. William Sydney Coving-
ton, steamboat agoE. ait Tilghman's
Island, gives Che official figures of the
shipments from that point last season.
There were shipped 5997 barrels of
hard crabs, which netted the catchers
an average of 40 cents a barrel. MAX
ing $1,000 distributed from this source
to the islanders. The freight is IS
cents barrel, so the transportation
company got 5000 freight on this pro-
duct. Tilghman's is by no means the
largest shipping point on the river. At
least three times as many were ship
ped from Oxford, and as many from
Cambridge and Corners as from Ok
ford, and smaller quantities from other
places. This immense Grade has been
developed within the last few years.
and is largely the outcome of better
transportation facilities to Baltimore

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
BILLIONs FOR Pensions.

One OF the most remarkable things
In contemporary history Is the fact
that to-day, nearly thirty-three years
since the ending OF the civil war, we
are paying pensions to a million men
who served in the Federal army, and
that the number Of pensioners and the
sum paid them Is still increasing. As
there are only about fourteen mil
lion families In the United States, it
Will readily be seen that q consider
able percentage OF the whole number
must be drawing money. from the Ma
tional Treasury
Half a dozen years after the war
ended we had little more than 2O0,-
900 pensioners on the list, and the
amount paid them was some S33 ,OO0,-
600. II was generally supposed that
TIE roll had reached it's highest point,
and public speakers used to point
wlfh PRIDE to The governments gem
erofty toward brave men who saved
the country" Grant and Carried were
among the men who used such express
sions. Constantly, since then, we have
been assured yhat the maximum had
been attained, and that the necessary
appropriation was about to be dimin-
ished. The promised turning point
has NOT arrived, and to-day with ,000,-
600 names on the roll, the pension COM
missioner repOrss that 100000 claims
are still awaiting adjudication, and
that to meet this years payments he
will require $3.50, 600 ,OO0-abOut half OF
the total income OF the government
The total amount paid since the war
Closedis more than $1,000 600 ,00O That
petitions should be circulated in favor
Of more liberal pension legislation" is
one OF the things that may be classed
as strange but true.
1t Is impossible to say how many OF
the Federal soldiers are now living. Six
years ago Pension Commissioner Raum
stated their number at a little more
than 100000. This estimate was prob
ably too low at the time when it was
made, but may be tolerably correct
now. 1t will readily be inferred that
very large majority OF those who
fought-or rather who enlisted-in the
Union Army during the civil war are
now in receipt Of pensions.
A well known and distinguished
Union general recently declsrsd that 'li
the pension lists could DE printed. every
community in the land would be dis
gusted with Its revelations" This may
or may not be true but it IS unde-
niable that a very large number Of
our million pensions are drawn by
men who enlisted only for a few
months and saw little or nothing OF ac-
tual service, and by men who cnlis. ed
under the inducement OF heavy boun-
ties.
The citizen who does military SER
vice for the state in its time of need
deserves credit for q commendable ac-
tion, but, aftr ALL he is only doing his
duty. 1t dims the lustre OF his glory
when ne subsequently renders so colos
sal a bill for his Munsey's 3
