"LIMITED" PRIZE FIGHTS

While Assemblyman Lewis is trying
 to get a bill through the New York legislature whose object is to prevent
 prize fighting in all it's forms, efforts
 are being made in three other states to
 establish laws that will be fully as wide
 in scope as the one which has gov
 erned the sport in New York for the
 past three years. In New Jersey, As
 semblyman Hall has introduced a bill
 intended to legalize limited round box ! ing contes5s with five-ounce gloves in
 Incorporated athletic clubs The bill is
 worded the same as the law in New ! York. In both Illinois and Missouri bills arc before the legislatures of a
 similar nature. Representative Bur
 leigh of St. Louis is trying to nave a law enacted that will permit boxing in
 regularly organized and legitimate ath-
 letic clubs on payment of an annual license fee of S1,000. The proposed law in Illinois will allow twenty-round
 bouts. It is also said that the Phila- delphia authorities will soon permit lccal promoters to conduct ten-round bouts, instead of contests limited to six rounds. It will be noted that all of these bills designate the sport which they seek to promote. as glove con- tests" and boxing matches The des- ignation of fve-ounce gloves for a | match may deceive those who know little Of fighting as an amusement, but | it is a fact that gloves of that weight | merely serve as a protection to the hands of pugiliats and scarcely lessen the effects of blows dealt, a welI-di- rected punch under the jugular vein or over the heart with them being almost II not quite as possibly injurious or fatal as with bare fists The killing of Riordan by FitZsimmons at Rochester, N. Y, a couple of years ago, was done with gloved hand, and so were . number of others of lesser note since. The proposal to limit number of rounds is quite as spacious. Many a prize fight has been fought to a finish in few rounds, and law permitting twenty-round bouts is in effect a law to permit prize fights. That is the ob- ject of these movements for the dew otee of the manly art as it is displayed in the prize ring no more likes leaving | match before a knockout DIow than he theater gOer -elishes leaving play 2efore the last curtain. It will be well for legislators 10 know these things be- fore making limited" prize fights Ie- 1 gal

DRINKS IN OTHER DAYS.

The earliest mention of wine in the
 Bible is a reference to Noah planting
 vineyard and getting drunk with
 the wine.
 The Roman lover, when drinking to his lady, often drank as many cups of wine as there were letters in her name Warm water was some times regarded by the Romans as an agreeable drink, the conclusion of the chief meal. Famous among drinkers were the Vikings, whose liquors were ale, beer, wine and mead. Quaffing ale from the skulls of their enemies formed one of the chief attractions of the prom ised Valhalla.
 The Egyptians, who, have been un- gallant enough to leave behind them delineations of the fair sex in a state of intoXication, had several kinds of wine more than 5000 years ago, in ad- dition to beer called hega, made from barley.
 drink much in demand in the time of Chaucer was bracket, made of the wort of ale, honey and spices. By the time of Edward ". drinking had be- come so productive of crime that few places were allowed more than two taverns. London had to be content with 40.
 The drinks of antiquity were some times, to say the least, peculiar. The Greeks and Romans, whose customary drink was wine, often mixed it with sea water. Other ancient beverages were honey and rainwater; honey, salt water and vinegar, and a mixture of honey and myrtle seed.
 Under the Stuarts drunkenness was at it's height. Thirst provokers were largely taken, and a mans claim to distinction was largely due to his bottle capacity, while ladies of the court thought it no shame to become inebriated. The three or bottle man was an object of envy to his fel- IoWs

THE UsURPATIoN ACT.

The bill which yesterday passed the
 council creating a board of public af-
 fairs and defining it's duties will prove
 a very expensive luxury if enacted into
 law. Five members from different
 parts of the territory meeting every
 month in the year at Phoenix or at such places as they might see fit, even l though they should sit but four days
 each month would cost some Uhing;
 besides, they could not begin to do
 the work which the act specifics shall
 be done. The existing law which re- quires the board of control to audit
 all claims against the territory is not repealed by this act. The capitol site l commission should be maintained un- til the building is completed and exist- ing contracts fulfilled. The proposed board should hate nothing to do with
 the auditors and treasurer's affairs,
 as that is an interference with legis-
 lative and executive prerogatives. In
 sUperseding the board of equalization
 power should be given to assess mines
 as well as railroads The auditor is
 required to furnish office and desk room and no provision is made to pay for the same. Tie auditor is not now sufficiently provided for. The absur- dity of the whole measure as a demo- cratic caucus scheme is most conspicu- ous when considered in connection with democratic anti election asser- '.ioEs-' 'aoolish this board and that" etc. If this does not propose an oc- tcpus beard, then it proposes nothing five commissioners to be appointed by | the governor! Great Scott! How lib- eral with the apPoincing power! Of course the governor would use good judgment in making his seleetions, but it would be a board of control just the same. By the terms of the act the beard is to be non-partisan, but did it ever occur to these ultra-partisan dem- ocrats that they have no power what ever to control by legislation the question of who the governor shall If the governor does not choose to recognize their non-pa-tisan act there is no law that can compel him to- The title Of the bill is a mis- homer; it should be named the ''Usur- cation Act" The purpose of the act S fair sample of democratic partisan hip, but we doubt if the present par isan legislature will pass it.

AMERICAN TRADE IN CHINA.

'I have been making exhaustive studies of the trade in China It's total trade is now G55 ,000 900 a year. Of this Great Britain gets 55 per cent and the United States 14 per cent. The United States trade there is developing more in proportion than that of any ether nation. Now, in regard to Man chUria, American manufactures com prise 51 per cent of the whole trade. There are some English merchants who claim that the American trade which I speak Of is really English trade, but I do not agree with this. English merchants buy American cot ton, wools, yarns and such things, and send them to China in British bottoms The Germans do the same thing. I call this American trade in fact The Brit ish merchants, in word, act as mid dlenlen between the American manu- lecturers and the Chinese They do this all over the world and always will Lord Charles BeTesf0rd in Washing ton

BOWS OF THE ANCIENTS.

The Greek bow was not more than three or four feet in length, but was SC stout and stiff that it required consfd- erable strength and skill to use it. l The Romans carired the bow to Brit
 ain, where it at once obtained favor
 and during the middle ages was exten- sively used, forming an important ele- ment of the armies ofthat period.
 While universally used by the an clients the form of the bow varied with
 different nations. The Scythian bow was in form of the letter c and the bow of the Tartars-descendan of the Scythians-still keeps that shape.
 Ii is said that the first Greek bows of goat, the bases being united by means of a metallic band. Afterward other material was used in their man. ufacture. but they still retained their original shape. These bows were too short to be of much use, and, compara- lively speaking. but a small portion of the troops were armed with them.
 The English archers were said to be the finest in the world, and their skill decided the battles of Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. The bows used were of two kinds, the long bow and the arba- lest or cross-bow. The arbalest was made of steel or horn, and was of such and stiffness that it was nee essary to use some mechanical appli- ance to bend. it and adjust the string. The arbalesters carried quiver with 50 arrows and were placed in the van of the battle.

The absolute optimism shown in the speeches recently made by President Mckinley, and the firm and abiding trust in the wisdom and purposes of the American people which they dis play, afford delightful contrast to the mournful pessimism so frequently emitted in public by his predecessor. The oracular wisdom of Cleveland, which bewailed everything and every body who did not agree with his su- psrior and ponderous self, never in spired popular confidence like one sen tence of McKinleys: T have no light O. knowledge net common to my coun- trymen."

The hearty and enthusiastic welcome extended to President Mckinley in the city of Boston is significant as showing that the efforts of the yellow foment- CTS of hatred against the war depart ment to extend what ill feeling exists to the head of the administration have failed utterly. The American people still love and trust the president who has borne enormous burdens with great glory to himself and the country, and Boston's cheers were as hearty and unanimous as any yet accorded him. It would immensely please the parti- sans who hope to shift odium upon him if they could find some sign of his un- popularity because they fear him as the candidate fo- the presidential chair Q year O. so hence, but thus far they have found cold comfort in the results of their dirty work of accusing an un- character.
