NAV. Mich. il tbs avena Of the Haw-

suburb Of this city, and. after fighting
% fierce and clever rounds, wrested the
lightweight championship Of the world
from the Western man. Over 1000
persons watched the contest, which was
brimfull Of exciting episodes and of
hard and scientific hitting. Lavigne
went down to defeat and surrendered
his title in a most creditable manner
He was plucky and game to the core
and for the first half dozen rounds
more than held his own against his adj
versary. In the seventh round Lavigne
received a terrible drubbing and was
only saved from a knockout by the
timely interference Of the gong. To-
ward the end Of the bout Lavigne's
guard was useless and nothing but sheer
gameness kept the Saginaw Kid from
going under. Blow after blow fell upon
his head and body with relentless force,
but he stood the gaff and fought back
nluckilv and as best he could.

admiral Claims Big Sums For Destroying
Spanish Ships.
Thursday Admiral George Dewey
through his attorney filed suit as a
libellant in the district court of the
District of Columbia to recover the
prize money due him and the officers
and crew of his fleet for the vessels
sunk in the battle of Manila and the
property subsequently recovered by
the naval force under his command.
The ships and equipments have already
been appraised.
Admiral Dewey demands the sum of
1926, 141 and, in addition, the amount
due upon the three cruisers sunk in
the engagement, but subsequently
raised, and upon which he places a
value of $685. 900. These last vessels
have never yet been appraised.

Perhaps the best indication Of the
trend of prices is Sauerbeeks's index
figures, based on the prices of 40
leading commodities. In that scale
the average from 1867 to 1877 is taken
as 100. For long time the average
or index figure has been in the sixties.
Now it is crawling back towards sew
enty. At last accounts it was 66,
which is the highest average since
1898, the year of the great panic.

The three chief facts about Profess
sor Hadley, the new president of Yale
university are: That he is only thirty
three years old; that he is not cler-
gyman-the first exception to the sup
posedly ironclad rule as to the qualifi-
cations Of a president Of Yale; that he
is not professor of Greek OF Latin
or philosophy or any of the so-called
''culture" branches of education, but
of political scienca, the science of gov
eminent in its broad sense, which in
cludes all kinds of public action.

published in the foreign journals and
taken from official sources, it appears
that there were at the end of 1898
2, 029, 1913 miles of telegraph aud tele-

which 1877, 800 miles were submarine
cables and $50, AT were for the tele-

remedies seemed alike inadequate. AS
soon as DIR. Hartman announced that 1t
was his belief that the after-effects of la
grippe wassim ply systemic catarrh,
great advance was made in the treatment
of these cases. 1t now only remained to
find a reliable remedy for systemic ca
tarrh.
Here a new difficulty arose. Catarrh
had been regarded by many physicians
as a local disease and treated solely by
local remedies. Such physicians knew of
no systemic remedy for catarrh. Other
physicians regarded catarrh as blood
disease and had been in the habit Of treat
ing it with blood medicines, which could
be of no possible use in systemic catarrh.
For time Pe-ru-na enjoyed the distinc-
ton of being the only systemic catarrh
remedy known. It was not even claimed
by any one that there was another remedy
for this exasperating condition. Since
then, however, great many remedies
have been proposed for systemic eatarrh,
and a great deal of valuable time wasted
in experimenting with other remedies. But
il still remains true that Pe-ru-na is the
only specific remedy for the after-effects
of la grippe. The demand for this rem
edy, in consequence of the present cpl
demic of la grippe, is enormous.
The beneficial effect of Pe-ru-na in these
cases is often so prompt as to appear mag
ical. Every mucous membrauce of the
body feels the effect of the first Dose and
its benehcerA effect continues until the
disease is entirely eradicated. Every one
should read DR.. Hartman's latest lecture
on la grippe. This lecture will be sent

Washington, Feb. 15.-Several plans for
remodclng the House of Representatives
viii be considered tomorrow by the House
committee on ventilation and acoustics.
Mr. Eeatwole, of Minnesota, recently re-
newed attention to the subject by offering
a resolution for the expenditure of $780, 900
for remodeling the hall, and putting in
complete system of ventflation. 30 $685. i-st
Mr.. Heatwoles plan contemplates taking
out the desks of members, so that the at
tention of members win be centered to the
work of the House rather than to letter
writing, etc. 1t also proposes much more
retiring room, both for leisure, writing and
the private work usually done at the mem
bers' desks.
Another plan by Mr.. Beech of Ohio en-
braces the idea of a forum to be placed in
front of the speakers desk, from which
members viii speak in addressing the
House.
Some time since Speaker Reed suggested
a remodefing in line with the chamber CT
the House of Commons These several
plans and suggestions will be considered
and an effort made to have the remodeling
accomplished during the coming recess Of
Congress.
