New York. Sept. 13-1'erry McGov-

in double quick time I'm the arena of
the Westchester Club, Near Tuckahoe,

earned the title OF bantam champion

were actually In the featherweight

The Englishman, though forcing the
lighting at the outset. was really never

simply battered his opponent into par

punishment which he meted out TO
Palmer was swift and terrible.
The battle did not last quite one
round, the actual time of fighting be-
ing minutes and 81 seconds, at the end
of which time Palmer was lying help

When they had been fighting just one

Her partner was William r. Brown.

This Is the way the forgery was exc

transfer the black impression TO the

The exception was ON Saturday. when
Louisa presented forged check for

From the outset McGovern seemed
10 have his man well in hand, but his
most sanguine admirers never imagined
that Terry would win in such short
order. 1t was "a case OF a hurricane

and the fighter won. McCovern went at
his adversary with bulldog determine :
tion and lightning rapidity. His arms
were never at rest for "A moment. and
he beat down Palmer's guard with his
sledge- hammer blows.
McCSoverns victory was clean cut and
decisive, and il is Just possible that I'm
the near future he will met George
Dixon and Oscar Gardiner. with the

 Nothing could more strikingly illus trate the importance of EmAll things than the large role which is now st. tributed to the mosquito in the etiology of some of the most serious and wide spread diseases to which the human race is subject It is truly said that what prevents the successful onization of many tropical countries and what throws the greatest obstacle in the way of civilization of and good government in vast regions of central Africa Is not climate, not distance from home and not unfriendliness on the part of the natives The obstacle is malaria, and now we find that the prevaleice of ma laria, so far as man is concerned, de- pends on the mosquito, and that this pestilent little insect, in addition to ir- ritating and annoying, is the means by which the poison of malaria is propa- gated and distributed.
 For years back botanists have known the important part played by birds in the scattering of seed and of insects in the distribution of the pollen of plants, and it seems not unlikely that pathol- ogists will have to recognize in a much larger degree than has till lately been done the large part taken by the subor- dinate forms of life by which we are surrounded-our cattle, our horses. our dogs and cats. our flies, our mosquitoes and perhaps even our heas-in dis tributing disease from man to man, and, ss is stated in regard to the mosquito and malaria, in deciding whether the e1tension of our empire over great areas of the globes surface shall be possible or Dot-Hospital

AUTHORS MANUSCRIPTS.

Not NeeessaFy For Editors to RsGa
 Then From Beginning to End.
 Once more the tale goes round of the author who sent a story to three jour Dals and had it returned by every one without having been read. He knew it because he had pasted two of the leaves together. Very likely. We do not think of reading through half or Q quarter of the articles that are sent to us It often does not take half a minute to dis card what one knows he doesn't want It is sn old saying that one does not need to eat a whole joint to learn whether it is tainted.
 It would be a revelation to some of these writers to see how fast an expe- rienced and conscientious editor can. at times, go through big pile of essayA stories or poems The title Is often enough, and be would say, We don't want an article on that subject. The next article begins with a page or two of commonplace introduction, and that is thrown aside in half c minutes in- spection without turning more than the next page. The next begins with g platitude-"We can't print that stuff.
 The first verse of this next poem has false meter and is tossed aside. The next begins in schoolgirl style. with dove and "love;" it is not read through. Of the. next the editor reads ten lines It is simply a dull descrip- tion of a stream in a forest-not want ed. The next poem begins in fresh way, seems to be constructed according to the rules, is pretty good. It is put one side to see if other better poems will crowd it out The next is a story.

THE DANCER AND REMEDY

In discussing the subject of trusts the United States Investor of Bos- ton takes this view of the subject saying: We have gone on su- premely unconscious of what We were doing, until we have evolved a a state of affairs from which escape is impossible without hardship. An enormous number of waterlogged business concerns, known as trusts, have been set afost; in the smash that is bound to come the certificates of these organizations will sell at their real value, which means an ap- palling loss to investors" Again 1t is said: "The end will be hastened bv diminution ID the cOnsumptive power of the country, due to the dislocation of a great horde of em- plovees whom the trusts have ejected from positions previously occupied. We cannot imagine a much worse state of affairs" The Commercial Gazette has this to say: There IS ground for both of these statements, but they do not have joint aPphea- tisn. The one applies more partic- u!arly to the combines which may be more successful and the other to the nor. numerous ones which will not. The danger lies far less in the 'dislo- eaton of employees or other econ orn;es which the successful eombins- tions may bring about as 1t does ID financial disturbances which may be caused by collapsing of the floating stock or the combinations that never reach that stage of eConomics-the ones that are just professedly pre- paring 10 exercise such economy, cheapen and facilitate the distribu- tian of products, the rendition of transportation service, and to do other great things for the promised accomplishment of which, with the earning of large profits, sales of the inflated stock are preliminsries. Judging the future by the past but a small percentage of the newly formed trusts will be successful It will be the stocks of the many that are certain to fail which may precip- itate trouble. The way to avoid such trouble is to discourage investments in the supply of inflated stocks
 The above subject is exciting pucb interest all over the world at the present time. Would it not be safe to surmise that they will end tbe same as all other business trans artions-that Is, some will flourish and some wiU fail. IL will be good for the American citizen to watch the massing of great amounts of money for business purposes, and learn from observation whether or not inc mechanic and laborer suffer from it. There never was a time more suited for such observation than the present.
