FAST FIGHTING.

There we're hard exchanges on the body
and head in the seventeenth and IN the
eighteenth both landed right swings on
the head. In the nineteenth Smith rush
ed, but was blocked and Mac drove his
left to the wind. There was some very
rough work on both sides at this stage of
the game, and in half clinch Smith threw
Mac from him, the Philadelphia going to
the floor, where he remained nine sec
onds on one knee. Many persons cried
foul on account of Smiths work, but the
referee paid no attention to them
In the final round Smith was very ag-
gress1ve and got left and right to Mac
head, driving him to the ropes. Smith
continued to force a terrific pace, getting
all over his opponent, who landed the
last blow Of the fight a straight left to
the face, which rocked Smiths head. The
referee declared Smith the winner. Smith
was the favorite, odds of 100 to 90 and 100
to so being laid on his chances.

sHARKEY'S SPEECH.
Tom sharkey was introduced after the
second preliminary, and in response to
several calls for a speech, said
Il will leave 1t to the men who were
down at Coney Island last Friday night,
and also to the general public, whether
George Siler gave me fair decision or
not. 1t Is now up to Jeffries to meet me
again. I am ready at any time-say two,
four or six months, and viii meet him for
any amount up to S20000."
John L. Sullivan was called upon for
speech, and after a great deal of diff
icUlty managed to get his enormous bulk
through the ropes. He met with a hearty
reception, and after thanking the specta-
tors for their greeting, said:
Il am a thing of the past, and am not
in l. for the championship
When the big fellow left the ring he
shook hands warmly with Sharkey and
Terry McGovern, who were sitting in a
box close by.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-''Mysterious"
Billy Smith defeated Charlie McKeever,
of Philadelphia, in a twenty-round bout
at catchweights, at the Broadway Ath-
letic club tonight. Smith weighed in at
145 pounds. and his opponent tipped the
scales at about the same weight. Both
men were in prime condition, and the
fight was fast and interesting from start
to finish. McKeever used his left to
good advantage in the opening rounds,
sending straight Jabs to the face and
neck, and was equally as clever at close
quarters as Smith. At the end of the
third round McKeever landed two
straight fefts on Smiths mouth. In the
next he sent right to Smiths jaw, and
there was plenty Of hard and vicious in
fighting. In the sixth round McKeever
landed hard right on Smiths jaw,
which made the mysterious boxer grunt
audibly. In the ninth Smith was almost
taken Of his feet by a vicious uppercut.
McKeever put out all his strength in the
eleventh. and drew first blood by cutting
Smiths eye with another left jab. Smith
replied with a similar blow, which raised
a lump over McKeevers left eye.
From this point Smith, who had had the
worst Of it, began to improve. In the
twelfth he stepped in with a hard right
on the wind. McKeever countered and
Smith swung a heavy left on the jaw. IN
the thirteenth Smith swung his left to the
eye, and McKeever landed hard on the
kidneys. At the close Of the round Smith
drove a terrible left to the ribs In the
next two rounds both men continued to
reach for the body with lefts and rights
at close quarters. In the fifteenth Smith
sent a straight left to the face, Nc
Keever sending left to face and body. At
the close of the round Smith staggered
Mac to the ropes by a hard right swing
to the body. In the following round both
landed hard lefts on the face and fought
roughly at close quarters. McKeever came
out of this mix-up with a cut under his

IF THE United States arms, in the
war with Spain, had suffered reverses
such as those Great Britain has met
with in the opening hostilities with
the Beers, there might have been
some reason in the cry which went up
against the war department at Wash
ington. The Americans never lost a
battle nor suffered a repulse in the
Spanish war, yet there was greater
cutlery against the management Of
that war, by faultfinders, than has
been heard against the British gov
eminent for the repeated bloody re-
verses inflicted upon the flower of the
British army by the South African
Dutchmen.

out the stone, pays the county TWEEN
ty-five cents per cubic yard for get
ting out, crushing, asserting and
screening the stone, and then public
spirited citizens of the town haul this
stone upon the road, where the coun-
ty does the work of road building
with the jail prisoners as laborers.
The cost of hauling the stone would
be about $500, but this work is per-
formed by farmers who give the
service for the benefit the town will
receive by having good road. Yer
non village bonded itself for $400 to
help pay for the stone. The town
voted to turn in the receipts from
excise, about $430, to the same fund,
and there was raised by subscription
$500 for the same purpose.

Mr.. LLOYD WILKINSON has become
apologist for Governor elect Smith
concerning the manner in which the
latter lodged a vote on the currency
bill. Mr.. Wilkinson says; ut would
have been manifestly out of order for
him to have voted for or against the
bill when he will not be member of
Congress when the bill returns from
the Senate in an amended form. Why
should he commit himself for or
against bill in its incipient stages,
when he will mot be in position to
back up his attitude when the final
disposition of the matter comes up?''
This is very lame excuse for a bit of
Gormanesque evasion, and Mr..
Smiths short Congressional career
does not give promise of freedom from
malleability in the gubernatorial
chair.

PEOPLE who assume that the trusts
were going to control prices by hold
ing the production of given articles
exclusively in their own hands will be
interested in the following paragraph
from DUp'S ReoieaC for December 16
While business continues remarka-
bly, large for the season, there is a
large decrease in many lines, and in
several the prospect of new and sharp
competition begins to effect calcula-
tons. The rising of new steel com
pany aud the separation between Mr..
Carnegie and Mr.. Prick are widely
discussed. The rupture between a
leading director and the Sugar Com
pany is supposed to cast fresh rivalry;
the Tin Plate Company has to meet
competition from half a dozen
new works in progress; the Window
Glass Company proposes to reduce its
prices third in order to put down
the independents, and there are sim
liar signs in other quarters.
This is too big a country and there
is too much capital awaiting invest
ment to make it practical for any one
concern to long control the produc-
ton of an article in whose manufact-
ure there is considerable profit. Com
petition is sure to arise whenever the
price is put up to point where there
is any considerable profit.

To the Editor of The Republican.
think letter concerning vaccina-
ton may be of Importance, as it has
caused much trouble in our county
and State ever since the school boards
have been enforcing the hideous vac
cination laws. Within the last three
months more deaths have been caused
by vaccination in two OF three States
than have occurred from small pox
in the whole United States. The
people have ample proof that vacci-
nation frequently causes death while
on the other hand it cannot be proven
that vaccination has ever prevented
single case of small spox. Deeters
may theorIze and theorize, but theory
don't amount to much unless backed
by proof. Vaccina ion is crime
against humanity and sin against
God. The barbarous law that COM
pels it is almost as bad as Herod's
slaughter of the innocents in ancient
days.
The vaccination laws should be
repealed, as they are a disgrace to
modern civilization. Were the writer
a school director he would resign his
Office rather than aid in the enforce
ment of such hideous, such outrage
Gus and satanic laws. If we must
have such fool law on the statute
books of Maryland, our lawmakers
should go a step farther and pass
law compelling physicians to issue
printed guarantee to each person
they vaccinate, said guarantee to set
forth that the person vaccinated is
immune from small pox, and further,
that all doctors be compelled to stand
by their uarantee-compelled to pay
$1,000 to every holder of such guaran-
tee who had been vaccinated and
afterwards stricken by the disease
which the vaccination was guaran-
teed to prevent. If such a law were
passed not one doctor in the State
would vaccinate anybody; the vacci-
nation humbug would be thoroughly
exposed, and the present vaccination
law would become dead letter.
will be very glad to have these
few lines printed, as l think it will

A Princeton Boy.

Mr.. John L. Wellington, son of
Senator Wellington. is a member Of
the Princeton Glee Club, which gave
a concert at Pittsburgh last night.
The club appeared in Baltimore
Tuesday night. The Baltimore NeaoS
speaking of Senator Wellington's
presence in that city said: Senator
Wellington left the hotel this morn
ing and went over to Washington be-
fore noon. He came to Baltimore, he
said to meet his son, John L. Yelling
ton, Princeton, 1901, who took part
in the Princetonian concert last night.
The affection between father and son
is very strong, and the Senator was
anxious to talk to his boy and ar
range with him about going home to
Cumberland to spend the holidays"

THE subject of public road better
ment promises to occupy on import
ant part in the proceedings of the
next Maryland legislature. Two
years ago bill was passed by which
convict labor in Wicomico county
could be utilized on the public roads,
but Governor Lowndes vetoed the
bill because of some legal defects. 1t
is stated that this defect will be REM
edied in bills to be introduced at the
coming session, and that the Jail
prisoners will be put to work on roads
in several counties. An illustration
of what can be done in good road
building with united effort and the
use of convict labor, lis furnished from
Oneida county, New York state.
Vernon, town in that county, ex-
poets by these means to get about
three miles of macadam road at the

THE leaders of the Democratic par
ty are becoming more and more per-
picked as the presidential campaign
approaches. Most factions are fairly
well agreed upon Bryan as candidate
but demands are coming from differ
ent sections that he amend or drop
certain of his issues; then his election
will be insured. But what issues?
He cannot drop silver or he will lose
Populist and Silver Republican votes
in the West; if he opposes expansion
he will ALLEVIATE the South, which is
overwhelmingly in favor of the policy;
if he takes up the tariff question
again, as free traders advise, he will
antagonize workingmen in the North
who are enjoying steady employment
and at increased wages if he at
tempts to make a strong fight on
trusts he will find himself forestalled
by the Republicans. Mr.. Bryan has
expressed himself clearly ON these
questions so that retreat seems impos-
sible, yet his attitude, as events have
shaped, is at variance with his entire
party, on one point or another.

THE showing made by the House OF
Representatives on the money ques-
tion is not encouraging to Bryanites.
The House passed the gold standard
measure by vote of 100 to $50, every
Republican member and eleven DEM
ocrats voting aye. The vote for this
bill represents two-thirds of the peo-
pie of the United States, and the next
Presidential campaign will undoubt-
eddy start with the gold standard as
the law of the land.

suggestions contained in DIR. Clark's
communication.
Now is the time to act. If the State
is willing to pay one-half the expense
necessary to restore and place the
National Road in the condition it
should be, we think the people of the
county would do well to consider the
proposition and willingly vote the
necessary money for the object. The
entire county would be benefited by
the move.
Our columns are open for commu-
nications on the subject.

to grow up in bushes, briers and wild
grasses, it would afford a good nest
ing place for many of the birds in the
summer and safe refuge from hawks,
as we'll as a well-stocked larder for
the birds during the SHOWS of winter.
If the farmers, instead of clearing
their lands in the fall as clear as a
billiard table, would leave along the
streams and in protected places
patches of high grass, the birds
would find sufficient cover to hide
them from hawks and would get seeds
for food.
II also believe that the residents of
the city who take advantage of the
invitations of their country friends
to shoot in the country should assist
in the good work by purchasing quail
from the West to be turned out for
propag&ting purposes. My expert
ence in Howard county in this line
conclusively proves to me two things:
First, that a large proportion of the
birds which are turned out will breed,
and secondly, that every farmer ON
whose land small bunch of birds
was liberated Immediately took an
interest in protecting the birds, and
was willing to do everything possible
to assist them in increasing, and from
that time became an ardent advocate
of protecting and feeding the birds.
The residents of the city could also
very easily make the necessary pc
cuniary arrangements with their
country friends to'have small.patches
of grain sown in various shelted spots,
to be left uncut for the use of the
birds. There are more birds in Eng
land to an acre. than there are here
on 10 acres, and their winters are at
times even more trying than ours.
No one hears, however, of closing a
season for year there, and it is only
because the birds are cared for intel.
ligently instead of being left to them
selves to struggle for an existence on
bare fields, as here.
This is the spirit which must be
aroused through the State before we
will again have good partridge shoot
ing. l will not say that giving
closed season is a step backward but
do say that it is not the step for
ward which we should take; it is
temporary makeshift at the best.
During the closed season the birds
are not any more protected from
hawks, cold or hunger than they are
now. At the termination, of the
closed season we will be about where
we are now, with the exception of
perhaps few more birds, which may
be destroyed Immediately by a biz
zard.
II have given these views fully be-
cause l do not want the county
friends of the game association to
| feel that the members, as far as they
have unofficially expressed themselves
to me, are not in full sympathy with
their desire to protect and increase
the number of birds. 1t is merely a
question of the best way to do it, and
1 believe that the plan l have out
lined is the only one which..will place
the protection of game in this State
ON permanent and satisfactory
basis"

THE recent financial disasters,
which are largely the result of injudi-
dicious loans upon watered stock, are
lisble to throw the trust promoters
out of employment and permanently
check these speculative prices which
have brought reproach upon many
Legitimate business consultations re-
quired for the economical production
of articles of consumption. Legiti-
mate consolidation of interests to
reduce the cost of production, and so
reduce the price to consumers, is
quite a different thing from the
indiscriminate organization of enor-
NOUS concerns with inflated stock for
speculation purposes only, and the
public will quickly discriminate be-
tween the two systems.
