clutch it and then rolled over on his
back He rolled back again on his side
and leaned on his elbow when the
referee shouted ten. The crowd then
began cheering wildly when they saw

ropes and carried the defeated pugilist
to his corner. Time of round 2:32.
Palmer revived quickly and was
helped out of the ring within three min

delivered. Meanwhile McGovern's
friends went almost crazy. Many of
them jumped toward the ring but were
prevented from entering it by the
SheriffS deputies. Two of his friends
climbed through the ropes and present

McGOvern left the ring half of the
spectators shouted to him to give them

Teachers on the Subject in the College

DR.. Frank McMurray Of the Teachers
college, New York, delivered an inter-
esting lecture in the teachers course in
the College street hall last evening. He
announced as his subject Recent
Changes in the Instruction of the Cora

In the course of his remarks DR.. Nc
Murray said: 'Some teachers regard
children as mere receptacles in which it
IS their duty to place knowledge; others
regard them as a mere bundle of facul-
ties to be developed. Neither is right.
In teaching the teacher should have a
higher idea of her duty than this. The
childs mind must be developed, but in
different way. The things which are
taught them should be practical"
Proceeding, the speaker described in
an Interesting manner the different
ways of teaching employed by different
teachers, and of their effect upon the

feeling exists in the Fourth ward re-
gardng Mr.. States attitude at the time
that the Derby railroad question was
before the court of common council Mr..
States at that time being member of
the common council, advocated the
closing of Hill, Lafayette and Liberty
streets. Another allegation that is used
against Mr.. States in the Fourth ward
is that he hired ten workers to peddle
gold democratic tickets at the presi-
Dental election in 1896. A well known
Fourth ward democrat said last night
1.-THE friends of Mr.. Driscoll in this
ward are discreet enough not to ask
the party to place a ticket in the field
in his interests, knowing well the feel
ing that exists in the Fourth ward,
caused by his attitude as corporation
counsel towards the closing of the
above streets and they do not forget
the opinion rendered by the ex-corpora-
