Opinions of a Pessim,st.

Polish may be laid upon wood to such
thickness as to obliterate the grain. The
same thing may happen to man.
People who honestly tell US of our faults
may mean well, but they never run ahead
of their tickets, at the polls.
The man who prides himself upon his
good looks never acquires the students

Hard, steady, determined hammering is
good thing, but the greatest battles of
life are won by strategy.

I HAWAIIAN LOVE SONG.

CThe phrase on which this poem turns is
he most tender and eloquent expression OF
lffection and love In the Hawaiian Ian
tuage.)
Our northern tongue for battle.
For argument and trade.
But not for wooing looks of love
From eyes of doubling maid;
More sweet the story uttered
g In far-away Hawaii
aloha nui loa,
Aloha nui oei."
The Dane, the Celt, the Saxon
Are lovers quite as true
AS any e'er the tropic sun
To dreamy roundness drew:
e But none can voice so sweetly
Loves glad, triumphant joy
x AS this untaught Hawaiian
aloha nui Del"
Pale autumn pensive fingers
Along the crimson wood,
Or bends to weep above the spot
Where late the poppy stood.
And sighs as signs the lover 800
For one in far Hawaii.
"Aloha nui loa,
Aloha nut oei."
The mother rocking softly
Her first born. grooming low
The quaint. unwritten song of love
That babes and mothers know,
Drifts where the palms are signing
3 In far-away Hawaii
aloha nut loa.
Aloha nut oei."
Sweet phrase, all unacquainted
With sound of care or strife,
Like love untutored come to speech
You bubble into life!
Oh, dusky-eyed Koolele,
Oh, ,lithe-limbed. blue-eyed boy.

BOXING NOTES..

John ]. .Dougherty, manager of Jack
O'Brien, who defeated Oscar Gardner
last night, Matty Matthews and Walter
Burge, writes NJ. J. Connolly, of Pitts
burg, stating that any one of the above
named boxers will come to P%ittsburg
and contest with any man OF his
weight. O'Brien is a 125-pound boxer
and previous to last night had boxed
two draws with Gardner. Matthews
will meet any boxer in this section Of
the State at 1875 or 13S pounds. Burge
State at $50 or 1873 pounds. Manager
Dougherty will be content with a reas
enable sized purse n he will box for
a fair share of the receipts. 1t is likely
that Connolly will try and secure a
match for one or two of Dougherty's
boxers.
w. W. Bean, of Utah, the Mormon
preacher-boxer, is a somewhat remark

IN SOCIETY.

The society event of the week oc-
Cured last evening at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Nelson Vance, On North
Main street. The affair was a recep-.
ton given by Mr.. and Mrs. Vance, be1
tween the hours of s to 12 O'Clock. TheY
interior of the house presented a magN
niicent spectacle. The hall was adorn-
ed with wild smilax, ported plants and
cut flowers in great profusion. The
stair bannister was one mass of wild
smilax. At the head of the stairs, eff
fectually concealed behind a bank of
pctted plants, the Opera House orches-
ira was stationed, which during the
evening blended soft strains with the
enliyening conversation in the apart
ments below. The parlors were adorn-
ed with lilies and ferns. From tho
smilaX bedecked chandelier hung a fig
ure of flowers representing artful cup
ids bow and arrows, a true symbol OF
st. Valentines day. The decorations Of
the dining room were American beau
ties and %violets. and in the library the
prevailing decorations were carnations
and violets. The delicately ..&hs1sslu
lights cast a soft glow over the VIII
scene which much enhanced the q
tistic beauty. In the parlors Mr.. and
Mrs. Vance received, assisted by their
daughter, Miss Lillian, and Mrs. George
Adams. In the dining room were Mes
DANES Herman and Lawrence Sands,
and the Misses Schriyer, who attended
to the wants of tn. guests. Wheeling's
best society was represented by the
large crowds present during the even
ing.

He Went Against a Pretty Tough Propo-
sition in Youngstown.
Oscar Gardner and his friends ar
rived home from Youngstown, last
evening, and the party was seen by a
Register reporter soon after they got
off the train. The plucky fighter had
little to say. 1t was apparent, how
ever hat he had none the worst of it,
were no marks upon his face, and he
said the ony injury he received was
the loss of a little skin when they went
of the platform once.
A member Of the party, however,
said to a Register reporter:
LAS soon as we struck the town we
saw how it was. Things had been
loaded against us. O'Brien and his
trainers were boarding with members
of the club, and the referee was also
a member. For O'Brien to get the de-
cisiOn meant a saving of anything from
$125 to $175 to the club, and you can
imagine the result.
'O'Brien wouldn't fight fair. Every
thing went with him but biting. He
was warned again and again, but he
evidently knew what was allowed him,
and the result was it degenerated into
a wrestling match, and the Wheeling
man was simply tired out. He knock
ed O'Brien down in the fourth round
and again in the fourteenth, but it did
not cOunteract his wrestling tactics.
AS soon as time was called he would
rush and catch Gardner around the
neck, or around the knees, and try to
throw him over his head. We lever
had a chance from the start, and knew
we were going to lose before the game
was started. 1t was crooked from
start to finish, and wholly unfair. In
round after round Oscar would say:
Why don't you stand up and fight
like a MANI but O'Brien carried out
his programme, and got the decision"

McGraw is the player most needed by
New York. 1t is known that Freedman
has been anxious to get him for some
time past. AS Abel has put up $4,000
to help bring a winner to Washington
Park, the New York club might contrib
ute a like sum to corral McGraw and

stock Of the New Works and bring the
crowds back that once made the turnstile

Special to the Register.
Youngstown, Ohio, February A.
Action was commenced in Squire
Webb's court Monday evening by At
torneys Williams and Gilgan, for At
torney C. D. SAVERS, of Columbus,
against Oscar Gardner, to recover $500
The plaintiff claims judgment for that
sum for legal services in the a S OF
Chic VS.. Oscar Gardner, tried in the
Court at Columbus about a year ago.
Pugilist Stout died on the day follow
ing a fight with Gardner, and the latter
was arrested on a charge of murder.
Attorney SAVERS was employed to de-
fend the featherweight. The latter
claims he entered into an agreement
with the lawyer to pay him 500 if he
secured his discharge, while the law
yer claims he was to receive 800 for
services in the event the case did not
come to a trial, but that if it did he
was to receive 5000 additional. After
the trial and acquittal the fighter re-
fused to pay the additional $500, and
the attorney commenced suit against
him, but before the papers could be
served, Gardner had left the city.
Later Gardner offered to pay an ad-
ditional sum-. but SAVERS refused to
accept anything less than the full
amount demanded. Gardner believed
the attorney was squeezing him and re-
fused to settle.
Monday evening, just prior to the be-
ginning of his contest with O'Brien,
Gardner was served with a summons,
as was also the treasurer of the club.
Manager Sullivan, who looks after
Gardeners interests, claims that what
ever money is due from the club be-
longs to him, and that the proceedings
against Gardner will not hold the
money. The money is still in the hands
Of the club, and a hearing will be had
before Justice WEBB, February 18th.
Gardner will return on "a: Gate.

yesterday afternoon in Wheeling, but
for what purpose is not known. 1t is
thought, however, it was to consider
the proposition of the syndicate. What
was done at the meeting could not be
learned. 1t seems hardly without
question that some move OF this kind
is being anticipated, as it is alleged
that one of the large stockholders OF
the company has been buyiA up all
stock possible.
