Thompson-Parker Fight

John Brink will be the referee at the
Thompson-Parker fight at the Los Angeles
Athletic club tomorrow evening. He Is
acceptable to both men, and as he has had
extensive experience in the capacity OF
referee, the choice is good one. Wick
Brown and Rufus Thompson are expect
ed to make hot fight in their ten-round pre-
iminary They are welter-weights, and as
both have been training hard ever since
they signed articles, the bout may result in
a knockout. Young Dempsey and Jack
Burkhart are to box four rounds for a de-
cision. and these preliminaries, together wit
the big fifteen-round event between Thomp-
son and Parker will furnish an unusually fine
program of sport. The seats are selling very
rapidly for the fight. and the indications are
that the match will be witnessed by the
largest crowd in the history of the Athletic
club. The fight between Thompson and
Parker will certainly be worth seeing.

accede to his demands, and Mrs Ferguson
was again on the stand for the purpose of
explaining further about the case.
The defendant in his own behalf swore
that he never threatened to kill or to inlure
Mrs. Ferguson, but that he wanted a SET
tlelnent with her, which was denied. The
letter or note, in which specific threats an
reared, lie said he could not have written.
as he could write only his name. Being
asked to write his name. he refused on the
ground that to write it for the purpose OF
comparison with the signature on the note
would tend to convict him of crime.
Bartiey was very bitter on the stand. but
said ii released he would lose no time in
getting out of town; he had been here only
three times altogether, and hoped to he
would never be here again"

bumpy skip and f1utter that so we'll suited swirly skirt and fluffy petticoat would make the present clinging skirt set up wig-wag to view with a ge- ginner's efforts in the navy over the signal code. All movements must be slow. Women must not turn sharp corners, the feet must hardly leave the ground, and wearers must get over lifting the skirt except when the train is gathered in practiced hand. The length in front must be allowed to hang, and the gliding step must be the protection against entanglement.
 Having got so much pat, the proud owner of new skirt must next learn to sit down in a new way. She has been sinking straight down and allow ing the swirly or fluffy gown to pillow up about her on either side. The pres- ent skirt has not room enough for such manouvre. She must take graceful curve towards the chair, bring the full- ness of the skirt to one side, and sink down on the close drawn side. If prop erly done, when she is seated the out line of the figure will be followed on one side, and the folds of the train will gracefully sweep about the outline on the other side, while the edge of the train will lie at the side of the extended feet. This is very important, for if a woman doesn't know just where the train is, she is likely to come to grief when she rises.
 If all this counts as offset to the skirts picturesqueness perhaps the reader won't care to consider this par ticular costumes details. But such slight drawbacks will be overcome, for the skirt Is so stylish. This one was gray cashmere. At shoulders opening of bodice and hem of overskirt were encrustations of cream lace, and a gathered ruffle of cream chiffon further trimmed the bodice. Violet velvet rib bon gave belt and collar, and silk of the same shade lined the gown through out FLORETTE.

THEY SHOULD BE SAILORS.

The announcement is made that the French naval cadets are no longer to make their practice cruises on sailing vessels. They are to have a modern steam warship assigned to their use and are to be educated upon it. The reason given for this action is, that as no warships have sails, it is a waste of time to teach the use of sails to young men who are to serve upon ves- sels which have no sails. It has been the practice for the cadets at Annapolis to make their annual three months cruise upon a sailing vessel without even auxiliary steam. The working of the ship is done by the cadets. They set the sails, take them in, and, in point of fact, do the work of common sailors In addition to this three months work one day in each week there is practice in the rigging of the ship lying at the academy wharf. Considerable time Is also spent in drilling with small sail boats and in a steam warship, the de- sign being to make the cadet thorough sailor before he leaves the academy. The last two years of the six years course are spent aboard modern man-of-war, so that when the young man finally receives his con- mission as an ensign he is equally at home on a sailing ship, a cutter or a modern .warship.
 There is no indication that the policy of this country in this matter is to be changed and there is no indication that it ought to be. The Baltimore Sun sets forth some facts which show why naval officers should know how to sail a ship as well as to steam one.

THE BRIDGEPoRr rRAGEDr.


 The arrival of Marian Grace Perkins, alive and well, at her home in Middle boro, Massachusetts, just before her father reached there with what was supposed to be her mutilated body, which had been fully identified by him, Is about as striking an occurrence as anything that has happened since the war. It shows what astonishing and momentous mistakes can be made, and it also shows that truth continues to be quite as strange as fiction. Now the whole ghastly business must, we sup pose, be gone over again, and there may be another identification. Many anxious mothers and fathers will have their fears renewed by the fact that the victim is still unknown. One of the saddest and most significant things connected with such a tragedy is the large number of missing girls to whom 1t calls attention. It also calls atten- ton sharply to the poor wages paid by sin.

from one of the warships was detailed to take command of these vessels and sail them to the United States. It would have been a most embarrassing thing if an officer could not have been found fit for this service. On the con- trary, however, there was not an off, oer in the fleet who had graduated at the academy who was not perfectly competent to work the sailing vessels, command them and set or reef every sail. There was another incident which illustrated the value of the cadet train- ing. A warship was anchored five or six miles from land. It became neces- sary to send sailboat ashore, although there was stiff breeze and a rough sea. A cadet just from the academy was put in command and found that not one of the crew could sail the boat. But he had no difficulty in doing the work himself, and he brought the boat safely to the landing.

SICKNESS IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Old soldiers are amazed at the ap- parent forgetfulness on the part of the masses of the prevalence of disease and death among soldiers of the six ties, as evinced by the spirit with which they discuss recent occurrences something wholly unprecedented. Fearful and frightful as are the con- ditions there, they do not approach those of some of our Maine regiments in the War of the Rebellion. At least four Maine organizations spent three successive summers in the malaria-in- fested swamps of the Mississippi, go- ing directly from winter in tents in ice-clad Maine to the intense willing and depressing heat and poisonous air of Louisiana lowlands. What was the result? In those four regiments there died of disease during their term of service $40 men, while 1,109 others were permanently broken down physically and discharged on account of disabil- ity contracted because of these condi- tions.
 Besides these long-service troops Maine had five infantry regiments serving in the same regions, but for a period of nine months. Of these in their short term, besides seventy-flve killed and wounded, 660 poor fellows died of disease, while 290 were dis charged for disability and sent home many of them, no doubt, to die on the way or in some general hospital in which they found refuge. All through those hot, sultry summer days even those who were well were we'll high overcome by heat depression, and a morning sick call of thirty, forty, and fifty to the company was about the average diet. No thought of attaching blame to commissary or quartermas- ter for this or that deficiency.The Breckinridge (Ky) News.

OF COURSE.

The truth is not to be spoken at all times said a wise man, and 1t certainly isn't spoken at all times. But there are times when it ought to be spoken, and this looks like the time when the truth about the management of the war ought to be told. Colonel D. D. Wheel CT, chief quartermaster at Tampa and Chickamauga, has made up his mind to tell some of it and he has written to the War department that most of the quartermasters stationed under him at Tampa and Chickamauga are utterly incapable of carrying on the work in- trusted to them. The result is that their duties are performed by others, sometimes by officers, and even by en- listed men, who really have no concern in such matters; at other times the work is undone, and there is consequent confusion, annoyance and hardship. "The worst of the whole business" says Colonel Wheeler, 'is that these political quartermasters, in some instances, seem unable to learn anything" Tn other cases he reports there is evidently an absolute unwillingness.
 Of course. What else could be ex- pected?

devoid of any efforts at construction, It IS chosen for some qualities which strike the owner as suitable for rest and quiet, and from that moment it arouses in the animal mind some part ot the human sentiment which we know as the Hove of home" This association of ideas with their sleeping-p places is entirely distinct rom the so-called "homing instinct" or sense of direction. It Is a senti- ment, not a mental process, and is exhibited by a creatures which are not commonly credited with memory or the power of thought. Some butter- flies, for example, return regularly to the same place to sleep, and their proverbial tlightnesss does not prevent them from entertaining the sentiment of home. The first vindication of but terfly memory was occasioned by the regularity with which a small butter fly named Precis Iphita returned to sleep in a veranda of a musical club at Manghasah, in the Dutch East In- dia islands. c. Piepers, member of the Dutch Chronological Society, noticed that this butterfly returned to the same place on the ceiling dur ing the evening.

MR. LoUNSBURY,s PROMISE.


 NO man in this convention or out of it has tried to fasten upon me the shackle of any promise whatsoever. and no promise has been made. If your action to-day is confirmed at the polls next November the first promise that I shall make will be when, with uplifted hands and in the name of the God in whom you and I both believe, I swear to support the constitution of the State of Connecticut and faithfully to dis charge the duties of my office. And in that oath, and because of that oath, I shall look upon no one but God as my Master, and I shall look upon myself as the servant of all the people of this State.''
 This is the Hon. George E. Louns- bury's promise to the people of the State. It is right and ample. If it is rightly and amply kept he will be a governor worth having. The man who would break such promise made as that promise was, would be very au- dacious and a very wicked man.
