Stiff AN EASY VICTOR
Awarded the Decision in a 10.
Round Fight With Bob Long
at Davenport.
C0LORED MAN Is OUTCLASsED

Chicagoan Hits Him at VIII and Could
I Undoubtedly Have Knocked Him Out
Early in the Battle il He Had Desired to
Tommy Smith and Zig Hart Give a
Pretty Exhibition.
Billy Stiff. of Chicago. and Bot
Long. the colored man, fought 10
rounds before an audience of several
hundred people at Claus Groth hall,
Davenport, last night. Referee
Malachy Hogan awarded the decision
to the Chicagoan, who won out hands
down. 1t was sorely apparent in the
first round to those who expected a
hard battle that Long was no match
for his opponent. Not only was he
outclassed scientifically, but in
strength. Stiff also demonstrated
his superior hitting qualities in more
than one instance. and undoubtedly
could have laid the colored man cold
on the carpet in the opening bout if
he had chosen to do so. but he evil
IDENTIFY wanted the sports to get their
moneys worth. and SO he handled
his adversary gently and allowed
him to see the finish.
Long was dizzy in the second from
punch which landed him fiat on the
floor. 1t was feared he would not
come up, but he rallied and rose in
the seventh second. In the following
bout the colored man grew desperate
and waded into the Chicagoan, swing
ing right and left, and placing few,
but they were ineffective. Tame
lighting characterized the 70 urth,
fifth, sixth and seventh.
The most exciting scrapping of the
battle occurred in the eight H..
Long had freshened up some
what and sailed into Stiff
with the evident intention of knock
ing him out. but as before, he no
sooner began his rush tactics than he
was forcibly reminded that he was up
against too strong a proposition.
Long was fioored three times, once
turning a somersault. He behaved
nicely thenceforth until the end.
1t was a fairly good exhibition, al
though some of the sports would have
been better satisfied if it had been 4
finish" fight, but still they thought
well of Stiff Ior treating Long so mer
c;fully.
Preliminary Events.
The preliminaries consisted of spar
ring bouts between the Rowan
brothers and Tommy Smith and Zig
Hart, the latter of Chicago. Hart
and Smith gave a pretty and clever
exhibition, which won the plaudits of
the audience. The Chicago lad re-
ceived the worst of it so far as pun
ishment was concerned. although
neither man showed the effects of
rough handling. They SPARED eight
rounds. 1t was declared a draw.
Malachy Hogan, who has national
reputation in sporting affairs, headed
a delegation of the Chicago fraternity
in attendance. Hogan's appearance
in Davenport is thought to have much
significance, as the future may de-
velop, it being the belief that a big
go is in store for the tri-city sporting
fraternity.

that easy games count just as much as

There are 1853 distilleries at work in

last year was 2S, 500, 900 gallons, an in

Venice has asserted the right of own

on the Piazza San Marco. The city
authorities maintained that the pigeons
were the wards of the old republic and
therefore of the present municipality,
a view that was adopted by the court.

OF A SCIENTIFIC NATURE.

AS a rule the scent of flowers does
not exist in them as in a store. or
gland, but rather as a breath, an ex-
halation. While the flower lives II
breathes out its sweetness, but when
1t dies the fragrance usually ceases to
exist. The method Of stealing from the
flower its fragrance while 1t is still
living is no new thing, and it is not
known when it was discovered that
butter, animal fat, or oil would alb
sorb the odor given off by living flow
ers placed near them, and would Them
selves become fragrant.
Most of us have no doubt experience
ed the discomforts OF being seized with
a fit of coughing or sneezing at the
most inconvenient times and places.
and it is not usually supposed that any
exercise OF the will power can be made
efficient in checking either a cough Oh
a sneeze. DR.. Brown-Sequard, howev>
er, in one Of his lectures, said that
coughing can be stopped by pressing
on the nerves OF the lips in the neigh
borhood OF the nose. Sneezing may be
stopped by the same means. Pressing
in the neighborhood OF the ear may
stop coughing. Pressing very hard on
the top OF the mouth IS also a means
OF stopping coughing.
