MCCOY KNOCKED OUT.
A Third Glass Fighter, Jack McCor-
mack, Did the Work in Round One.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Jack Mccormack.
of Philadelphia. knocked out Kid Nc
Coy in about one minute last night-The
bout was to have been for six rounds
and it WIS generally thought that Nc
COrmack stood no show at all. He him
self said before entering the ring that
he was going to do his best and let it
go at that. The fight was so short and
so quickly over that there was almost
nothing to it but the punch that put
Mccoy to sleep. The fight was under
strict Queensbury rules, hitting with
one arm free permitted.
When the gong sounded Mccormack
started in to rush things, relying on his
greater weight and superior strength
to offset McCOy'S science He received
a straight left in the mouth the first
time he tried it, and a second later a
savage left hook on the side of the
head halted him a second time. He
then rushed twice more carrying Nc
Coy to the ropes both times. The first
time he hit Mccoy over the kidneys
with his right. The second time, as
they came from the ropes still clinched,
Mccoy freed his left and sent a hook to
McCOrmack's cheek, dropping him to
the floor. Mccormack lay quiet, MAX
ing a pretense of claiming a foul, al
though none had been committed. Nc
COrmack rose on the order of Referee
Hogan with a sheepish grin on his face.
The knOckdOWn had not injured him in
the slightest. The men squared off
once more, and then came the end like
lightning from a clear sky.
Mccoy was moving cautiously around
Mccormack. both hands low down,
neither being as high as the belt. Nc
COrmack suddenly let fly his right, and
it landed full on the jaw. Mccoy went
down like a dead man fiat on his back,
legs and arms outStretched, his face
pointing squarely to the ceiling. It was
evident the instant he struck the floor
that his fighting was over for the night
at least
Pandemonium broke loose in the hall
and there were wild calls for McCOr-
mack, shieks of Get up Kid" Get
up" Hogan went down on one knee
by the side of Mccoy and shouted his
call of the seconds in the fighters ear,
but Mccoy was past all hearing. AS the
word ten he raised his head slightly
and Hogan paused an instant before he
shouted out but Mccoy was still out
of it Thirty seconds would not have
brought him into condition to fight
again.

evening in charge of representatives of
the Y. M. c. A., work in the state.
1t is now known when they will come.
The was meeting of the w. c. 7. u,

Rev. G. w. Gilbert preached a very

late Rev. William r. Reynolds who for

stormy that only a small number of
the people were out and they may be
glad to know that the address Is to be
published, this giving all an opportuni-
ty to have a copy to keep in memory of
Mr.. Reynolds.
The entertainment given by the young
people last Thursday evening was
fine. That is what every one said who
was asked about it. The weather was
not of the kind to tempt out the people
who were just recovering from the grip

A PLAGUE OF THE MIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying IS itching
piles, indicated by warmth, slight moist
| ure and intense, uncomfortable itching
| in the parts affected.
| The usual treatment has been some
| simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief but moth
| ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
| pected from such superficial treatment.
| The only permanent cure for itching
| piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleed
| ing or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued
use for a short time causes a perma-
nent removal of the tumors or the small
parasites which cause the intense itch
ing and discomfort of itching piles,
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was be-
cause it was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium or similar drugs, but such
is not the case. A recent careful analy-
sis of the remedy showed it to be alb
solutely free from any cocaine, opium,
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extern
sively recommended by physicians be-
cause it is so safe, so prompt in the re-
lief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, the safest and
the most extensively sold of any pile
cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at SO
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall
Mich, for book on cause and cure Of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
III suffering from any form of piles ask
your druggist for a package of Pyramid
Pile Cure and try it tonight.

GREAT A. o. u. w. EVENT.
Preparation for a Big Time February
90 in Bridgeport.

Preparation for Big Time February
90 in Bridgeport.
Arrangements for the great A. o. U.
w. event which is to take place in
Bridgeport February 90 are rapidly be-
ing completed. Indications point to the
most successful meeting of the Past
Master Workmen's association ever
held in this state. Probably the great
factor responsible for the unusual in
terest in this meeting Is the recognf-
ton of this association by the Supreme
lodge as the only complete channel
through which the supreme lodge can
come in close touch with the lodges of
this state.
The great interest which is now CEN
tered in this jurisdiction because of the
relief law makes it of vital Importance
that the position of the Supreme lodge
be fully understood by every represent
tative who shall attend the grand lodge
sessions which convenes in Boston Feb
ruary % and March 1. For this pur-
pose Supreme Master Workman H. C.
Sessions of Sioux Fall, N. D., and Past
Supreme Master Workman John G.
Tate Of Lincoln, Neb, will both attend
this meeting and fully explain the posi-
ton of the supreme body. 1t is pro-
posed to so arrange the meeting that
every member of the order of the city
can attend and hear these eloquent
speakers. Mr.. Sessions address prob
ably will commence at $3.50.
At o'clock members of the associa-
tion and their invited guests will sit
down to an elaborate banquet at which
ex-senator Marigold will act as toast
master and Mayor Taylor will make an
address. of welcome A number of short
speeches will follow the course. At 7:45
the reception rendered to the associa-
ton, Supreme lodge and Grand lodge
officers will be opened by remarks from
Hon. Zalmon Goodsell who will be pre-
siding officer. Weidenhammer's Or
chestra will furnish music and imper-
sonations and comic songs will be a
feature of the programme AT this ses-
sion Past Supreme Master Workman
J. G. Tate will make the address and
no person in this city, whether a men,
Der of the order or an invited guest
can afford to miss his address. He is
not only interesting all the way
through his remarks, but is both witty
and dramatic and when he is finished
everybody will wish that he might talk
longer. The reception will be highly
interesting in every particular and Cit
liens hall, Main street, corner of
Cannon, will be taxed to it's utmost
capacity to accommodate those who
want to Observation-Disclosures Post.

THE AWFULNEsS OF PRISON


"The first aspect of prison life that
is it's cut-offness from the world out
is its cutoffness from the world out
side. The man who has friends who
still care for him may receive stated
number of visits year, when for a few
minutes he talks with wife or mother
or friend in the guard-room, and he is
allowed to write one letter a month and
to receive letters twice week. To him
there is, therefore, still this little bridge
between his cell and the world from
which he has been banished To MANY.
however, there does not exist this link.
no friends have they to call on them,
and the deliverer of letters passes their
cells every week for years without stop
ping to hand a message through the
bars to them. Stern discipline, loneli-
ness, long hours of work, narrow little
cell, with just room enough for a stool
and a bed, with a thick barred door
through which the light falls fanked
with shadows as a constant reminder
of confnement-these, in part, make up
prison life. The felon of wealth and the
poor prisoner from the slums may
march next each other in the lockstep
and occupy adjacent cells on the
gallery, for to all intents and purposes
they are alike now The striped dress,
close-cropped hair, the utter stripping
off of all comforts have dwelling in
fluence.
1.-THE awfulness of prison life lies in
the memories of the past; the dismal
contrast between home and prison cell;
the longing for loved ones whose hearts
are aching away out of reach; the
knowledge that the wretched COM
partnership of misery must be theirs, in
the weary round of prison toll from
morning till night, for the long years
ahead which seem interminable. Above
and beyond all this, prisoners have the
bitter realization of the brand that has
fallen upon them never to be removed
