OIL OF MUSTARD ON GLOVES
West Is Given the Decision over Rom
ner Because of Blinding Fumes
Used by seconds.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-The contest be-
tween Tommy West of this city and Jack
Bonner Of Summit, Pa, which took place
at the LenoX Athletic club tonight was
brought to a sudden termination at the be-
ginning of the seventh round
During the intermission between the sew
enth and eighth rounds Bouners seconds
used reviving fluid known as oil OF mus
tard, the fumes of which are binding. The
Oil was rubbed on Bonner's gloves and the
FUMES Of 1t blinded those sitting close by
the rlngside AS soon as the men shaped
for the eighth round West got Whit of
the stuff and when Bonner landed on his
face West shouted "Ie has something on
his gloves that is binding me-"
BY this time Referee Charley White was
similarly affected and began rubbing his
eyes, at the same time shouting to the men
to go to their corners. Meanwhile West
was jumping frantically in his corner with
pain and his seconds got through the ropes
to help him. Bonners seconds also clam
! bered through the ropes and began taking
the gloves off the big fellow.
The police took a hand at this moment.
Captain Brown, with couple of sergeants
and patrolmen, got over the ropes. The
spectators could not understand the trouble.
Referee White called on the police to ar
rest Bonner's seconds, but Jack Shanler
protested, saying that Bonners manager
had handed the bottle of oil to them to use.
White then declared West the winner and
there was a howl from Bonner's hackers,
but the bets went with the referees decision
and those who had laid to / on the big
fellow felt that they had been wronged.
During this time the spectators were
standing on chairs clamoring to know what
! 1t was all about. The master of cere-
monies explained the matter fully and when
he announced the decision there were loud
and prolonged cheers. One man with box
seat had an alteration with Manager Tom
| O'Rourke and some blows were struck, but
the men were separated and the building
cleared.
Before the principal event Ed Kennedy of
Pittsburg defeated Tom Smith of this city
| in two rounds.

STATES GIFT TO SCHLEY
People of Maryland Welcome Admiral
Home md Present Him with
Handsome Memorial.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2S.--ReRr Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley received today from
the people of this, his native state, a superb
testimonial of the esteem in which he is held
by the people of Maryland and Of their ap
probation of his services to the country
during the late war with Spain. Incidentally
he was cheered by assembled thousands as
he rode through the streets of Baltimore and
at night 500 of the representative men of
the city and state gathered together to wit
ness the presentation of the testimonial and
join in banquet given in his honor.
The testimonial proper took the form of a
magnificent medal OF gold and diamonds of
great intrinsic worth and resplendent
beauty, the gift OF Maryland presented in
the name of the state by Governor Lloyd
Lowndes.
Upon Admiral Schley's arrival here from
Washington this afternoon an informal re-
ception was held and at 1880 p. IN. the
presentation ceremonies began.
After the 500 guests filed into the big
banquet hall and took their places they re-
mained standing. General Felix Agnus, as
chairman OF the testimonial committee, said
in part:
Fourteen years ago the people of Mary
land presented you with the watch you wear
as a mark Of respect to you for rescuing
YOU not as a hero of the frozen north, but
as hero of the tropics, For we remember
that on July 3, 1898, the bridge of the gal
liant Brooklyn" was more than l20 degrees
hotter than Greeeys camp at Cape Sabine,
so do not be surprised If our joy tonight
rises with the temperature
AT the conclusion General Agnus called on
Governor Lowndes to place about the neck
of Admiral Schley the medal of honor. which
the governor did amid a perfect storm Of
applause, which was renewed again and
again while the admiral stood and bowed his
thanks.
The medal is beautiful beyond description.
The Maryland coat of arms Is made OF gold
in bas relief and enamel, surrounded by
a circle of fine diamonds, around which is
an oak wreath intertwined with diamonds,
held by a ribbon of blue enamel, the edge
of which is set with diamonds and on which
is the inscription:
Maryland honors her son-Winfield Scott
Schley."
Entwined in the ribbon are an anchor Of
diamonds and two swords, the hilts and
guards OF which are studded with diamonds,
At the top is the coat of arms of the
United States, through which is a navy
blue ribbon with two stars indicating the
rank of rear admiral. On the reverse Is a
very fine outline of the cruiser Brooklyn in
bas-relief Altogether there are 320 dia-
monds in the medal. Two months were re-
quired for It's making.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not He Alarmed, But Look for the
Cuuse.

Heart troubles, at least among the Amerl-
cans are certainly increasing and while this
may be largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, is more
often the result of weak stomachs, of poor
digestion.
Real organic disease Is incurable; but not
one case in hundred of heart trouble is or
ganc.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion Is because both organs
are controlled b. the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is effected
by the form OF poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food There is feeling of oppression and
heaviness in the chest caused by the pres
sure of the distended stomach on the heart
and lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short breath,
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making II thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation like Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements in pleasant,
convenient form,
II is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets sold by
druggists at 80 cents. Little book on stom-
ach troubles mailed free Address +. A.

PASS THE TRIAL REVISION BILL
Chamber of Deputies Again Debates
the DreYfus CnnyictiOn.

Chamber of Deputies Again Debates
the Dreyfus Conviction.
PARIS, Feb. 2s.-The senate today by 4
vote Of 155 to 125 adopted the principle Of
the trial revision bill.
The senate today continued the discussion
of the trial revision bill which was attacked
and defended on the old lines. The minis
! ter of justice, M. Lebret, appealed earnestly
for the passage of the measure, advancing
as an inducement that the proceedings be-
fore the entire court of cessation would be
public and conducted on the same lines as
ordinary trials. He added that he had not,
from the outset believed it possible to quash
the conviction of Dreyfus without retrial.
The premier, M. Dupuy, said he knew his
duty and that was why he had submitted
the bill which was adopted In the chamber
by the republican majority (protcsts), and
that alone provided the government was not
influenced by certain groups and leagues.
He doubted whether his opponents were
equally free from reproach on this ground.
Uproar,) He had not hardened to any
suggestion about the army, whose loyalty
he was glad to reaffirm.
The bill, the premier further pointed out,
didn't in the least diminish the safeguards
of the country. The government wished
the whole evidence to be known to every
body and. therefore, it would be printed in
its entirety. He did not know what the
| final verdict would be; but the speaker ar
IDENTIFY wished to make it such as would be
| respected by everybody who was not a fool
| or an irreconcilable. The premier de-
clared that the government wished 20 make

the government for introducing SO inco-
herent measure.
! general debate followed, after which
a motion to pass was made. The bill was
passed by 155 votes to 1875. The senate then
adjourned.

BASE BALL MEN IN SESSION
One of the Most Important Meetings
Held in Years-Tall< of Changes
in the Circuit.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The annual sched-
nle 'ne IN meeting ting, of the National National Base Ball
Avenue hotel, promises to be one of the
most interesting and protracted sessions
ever taken part in by the men who control
the tn -. national game in the largest cities east
of the Rocky mountains. Since the close of
last seasons play many deals have been
heard of and some of them have gone

The, changes in the playing rules sug-
gested by the committee appointed for that
purpose will probably take up good deal

be a prominent one during the week, and it
looks as If a sort of "civi service exam
ination will be arranged in order to test
the capabilities of applicants for the hard
est position in the league. The powers of
the board of discipline may be increased
and a motion to resume the, fining system
will undoubtedly be presented.
That a twelve-club schedule has been pre-,
pared is beyond all doubt but that 1t will
remain intact during the season is not SO
certain. Many persons who have an inside
know ledge of the league affairs claim that
there will only be eight clubs interested in
the playing circuit before the season Is
many weeks old.
