Glass Yesterday, at st. Francis
Xavier Church.. Bishop Visiting
Over the Diocese Preparatory to
His Journey to Rome.'-Recipient Of
a Handsome Gift.

Bishop Donahue, Of the diocese Of
West Virginia, administered sacra-
ment to a large class at st. Francis
Xavier church in Sistersville yesterday.
Bishop Donahue preached in the morn
ing at high mass. At the confirmation
service there was an immense congre-
galion, crowding the large church and
extending out into the street. The
class was a large one, numbering
forty-one.
At the close of the confirmation SER
vices, the trustees of the church pre-
sented the Bishop with a gift of $500
to help defray the expenses on his
journey to Rome. Three years ago the
congregation of St. Francis Xavier
presented Bishop Donahue with the
same amount, which the Bishop gave
towards building the ST. Francis
Xavier rectory. AS the church debt is
all cleared up the Bishop graciously
accepted the gift. The Bishop is max

E
The event of tonight in local sport
ing circles is the fight between Eddie
Gardner and Squirrel Finnerty, be-
fore the Bridgeport Athletic club.
Finnerty and P. J.. Hogan, his manager,
arrived yesterday from Youngstown,
o., where he punished Jack Reeder, the
colored Altoona pugilist, very severely
IN a twenty-round fight, Saturday night
before an audience of one thousand.
flnnerty went down to Bellaire in the
afternoon. The bout was 20 rounds,
for a purse of $500, of which $500 went
to the winner and S100 to the loser.
Reeder weighed in at 120 pounds and
Finnerty at 123, the latter having the
best of the fight from the start. ham
mering Reeder on the head and body
at will and battering him up badly.
He adopted Delaney's tactics in fight
ing and kept his opponent on the go,
winding him before the bout was half
over. The Altoona champion went
down several times under Finnerty's
blows and fell over him twice as he
ducked, falling heavily to the floor.
By the end Of the tenth round Reeder
was bleeding badly from a cut in his
lip and his eyes were both in mourn
ing, and from that time on, although
he responded in each round to time
he was decidedly groggy, managing,
however, to make a squirt in the twen-
tieth and last round, in which he put
up the best fight, so far as he was con-
cerned, of the evening, and making it
very interesting for the Youngstown
lad for a few minutes. When the gong
sounded he vas on his feet, but Ref
cree Bryan awarded the fight to Fin
nerty, despite Reeder's claims for a
draw.
Beth Finnerty and Gardner will be
in fine shape for to-night's go, and
there will be a large audience present.
Oscar Gardner, Hughey Arnold and
Thad Morgan will be in Gardeners cor
ner tonight. Finnerty shows no signs
of his bout with Reeder, and is in ex-
cellent shape, apparently. He and
Gardner will weigh in this afternoon
at 124 pounds.
The chicken controversy at Fulton
will not take place until the Bridge
mont hn11% Il. Avo, rO +An~o Of ~ ro;rl
can see both events the same night.

SOME CITY POLITICAL NOTES.

Sam Sloan did the dirty work, and
got left for his trouble. Rings are ua-
grateful as well as Republics.
Dick Robertson could not be found
last Thursday night. The mar whom
he told the Fourth ward was a "cinch'
vas looking for him with a club.
Boss Hall was Slick when he got
into the Second ward. He now claims
credit for carrying it. He had a dream
about what was to happen N the
Fifth, and moved out.
1t wasn't a square deal to let Charley
Henning hold the bag in the Fifth.
The ring bosses said the Mayor was
arrogant and thought he owned the
City Building. They wanted to let him
know that they (the bosses) claimed
first title, and proceeded to establish
the claim by throwing him down. Do
you hear, Mr.. Mayor?
There must be no solidly Republican
committees on this Council, and no
selections of committees in violation
of the city ordinances.
1t is charged that there was crooked
work in the First and Third wards.
The undue haste in declaring the re-
suits in these wards, would give color
to the rumor Republicans generally
will not subscribe to these methods.

Not only was the caucu set up in the
interests of the ring and nearly every
Office, from the highest to the lowest,
dictated, with the composition of the
official stats of the boards, ETC., but the
magnates also prepared the compost
ton of every standing committee of
Council, not only in advance Of the
appointment of the Committee of Com
mittees, but even before members took
the oath of Office, or the returns were
canvassed. Everything has been cut
and dried, and the programme will be
forced through unless enough fair men
rebel to make the carrying out of the
plans prepared impossible. 1t is also
reported, with every show of probable
ity, that the leaders have gone SO far
as to line out a new Gas Board, al
though the election does not take
place for MANY months, and that it has
been decided That Secretary Godfrey
Schul VIII have to go, not only be-
cause he is an Eighth ward man, but
because he is persona non grata in a
variety CT ways.
Hints of fun ahead all along the line
are being whispered about, and some
revelations Of a character unpleasant to
the ring are entirely within the line of
possibility
Council VIII meet tomorrow even
ing, when the city officers-elect will
q>alify and give bond, if they do not do
SO before. The Republicans will then
move for a joint session for the cleo
ton OF their caucus nominees, and the
Committee on Committees will prob
ably report the standing committees
for the ensuing two years. Once these
matters are attended to, Council will
be ready fer business.
1t was observed at Saturdays ses-
sics that Fir. Miller, of the Eighth
ward, acted il the capa5ity of Repub-
lican leader on the floor of the Second
Branch. 1t is understood that another
selection will be made at an early date,
and that Mr.. Miller will be relegated
to the rear ranks. His colleagues in
the last Council used to lose no oppor-
tunity Of ''cussing" him behind his
back, and the management don't love
him any more than they used to. Mr..
Miller's vote is useful, at times, but
that is about the end of affection for
him.
The Democratic City Committee and
councilmen met yesterday afternoon
and discussed the situation in all it's
plans and lined out a plan of action.

RJTMOR

There was an interesting rumor in
circulation last night to the effect that
the entire Aetna-Standard plant, at
Martins Ferry, including the Mingo
works, has been sold outright to the
American Tin Plate Company. When
the tin department at Martins Ferry
was sold, some months ago, the sheet
and bar departments nor the ground,
it is understood, upon which the tin
plant is located, were not included in
the deal. The transfer of the entire
plant would represent an exchange in
the ownersLp of property estimated
at $4,000, 900.

are %. The match has been on the
tapis for several years, but owing to
the respect of each of the principals
for the others proves neither would
make concessions, and some insight
hcant detail, upon which they could not
agree, would end in a wrangle, but no
fight. 1t will be for blood from start
to finish.

tival days seem to come closer and closer to-
gether. Lists are published in the news.

be held, with the names of the ladies who
will assist in receiving. The assisting lady
often attracts more callers than the hostess,
and newly-arrived families are on the look
out for popular women for their New
Years day receptions. There is no need
to interrupt the grand round of calls for
luncheon or dinner; the carriage is hired
for the day, and, dressed in his very best,
the caller must see all the old friends and
make as many new ones as time will per
init. Everywhere open house is kept in the
lavish southern fashion. Tables are loaded
with viands hot and cold, supplemented
with real southern egg nogg, or a bowl filled
from the housekeeper's winter supply of
Fish house punch, mixed from a well
guarded formula that is an heirloom in
Philadelphia families. The whirl of revelry
IS intense, but this gala day comes for
Washngtonians but once a year, and it
is celebrated with true southern warmth

having all their theories and ideas derided

men fall into this fault of disparaging their
wives opinions through sheer carelessness
of their wives feelings and conceit of their
own views. But just let one stop and ask
himself how he would like to be continu-
ally made to look cheap before the chill

to have his ideals, and often even his rei-

tell joke or a good story have somebody
who went out into the world more and saw

NEW YEAR IN WASHINGTON
When Every One Keeps Open House with
Lavish Southern Hospitality.

Mary Nimmo Balentine, writing of New
Years Day in the White House in the
Woman's Home Companion, thus describes
the public receptions: Announcements are
published in the newspapers proclaiming
the levee at the white house and the exact
minute at which the different officials of
the government service will be received,
but it is usually near one o'clock before the
sovereign people are admitted to the
grounds.
''The state levee at the white house is
but the beginning of the calling that CON
tinues throughout the afternoon and well
into the night in official and private houses.
The official social season is inaugurated on
