The Evolution Of the Eye.
kaleidoscope pictures of Fitzsim-
mons versus Corbett and Fitzsimmons
VS.. Jeffries have made the multitude
familiar with the black and white
aspect Ct prize fighting and with the
geography Of the prize ring. The
photograph Of prize fight is prize
fight refined and deodorized. The
bleeding noses and the splashes OF
blood on the torsos are in the photo
graph not CORY and sickening but
only darker shadows. The glittering,
vibrating sheets, reek not of whiskey.
the sports that swagger across the
field, now and again, are not more Of
fensiye than the loungers, jockeys
and gamblers in Dickens Pickwick.
Gore. soaked sawdust. rank tobacco,
strong whiskey. low browed, bowery
toughs, bad manners, ugliness and
bad smells are tempered by the in
nately refined machines into types so
that the better hammered and more
fasuidious part of the world can see
the reproduction without shock.
The movements OF the trained mus
cles of the fighters are 50 rapid that
the unprofessional eye cannot follow
them. The detailed reports of the
rounds which the daily papers print
reveal the preseason OF extraordinary
visual power and registering ability
by the scientists who write them.

Lippineotts,
The destruction by fire of the pub
fishing, printing and binding pant of
the B. Lippincott Company. Phila-
delphia on the twenty-ninth of De.
cemper was a loss to the whole coun-
try.
Fortunately for its preservation and
immediate continuance. Lippincott's
Magazine was edited in a smaller
building detached from the main
house, and several doors below it on
Filbert Street. Here were the manu-
scripts Of the current numbers Of the
Magazine, with many Of those set
forth in the rich summary for the
coming year; and here also we're the
costly equipment and manuscript Of
the new Dictionary which the Lippin-
colts have long had in preparation.
BY singular good fortune the world Of
readers is not to lose this noble work,
while the plates Of many standard
books. which lay in the fire-prOof
vaults opening from each story Of the
main structure, we're preserved for
this and future generations.
By another stroke of good luck the
more than hundred publications of
the current season had been widely
distributed for the holidays, and only
a few slightly belated works. as Miss
Anne Hollingsworth Wharton's 'Sa.
Ions Colonial and Republican," will be
delayed. The medical periodicals
which issued from the Lippincott
house, ANNALS of Surgery" "Interna-
tional Dental Journal" and the uni
versity Magazine" have resumed i'm

serious tut by no means vital wound
delivered to great business at its
most stirring season.

triOus as the ant or the bee but he has
no community life. When he sleeps
or clings drowsily TO blade of grass
there is nU settlement of vain, rest
less grasshoppers to maintain the re-
putation Of the grasshopper family
for rustling. But the grasshopper
gathers his food and commendably
supports himself during the summer.
1t is not individual laziness but the
lack Of community organization that
has made Ia cigals the synonym for
prOdigality. Nor does the bee de-
serve to be held up as an example to
little children of prodigy OF indus

and comes in sets and each piece has
a function which it performs in ac-
cOrdance with the law of its being.
For an ant or bee to lecture faint

not making honey in the summer or
for not digging an ant cyclone cellar
is piece OF pharasaical impertinence
that la cigale is too poor to resent but
must reflect upon with some bitter
ness.

!. sARAToGA,sN. Y. Sept. a.-The
meeting Of the state committee OF the
Republican party tonight brought
forth no development not already
known. The election OF a temporary
chairman was a mere formality. and in
fact the sessions OF the convention to-
morrow and Wednesday will be formal.
The almost forced consent Of Mr..
Woodruff 10 take the second place on
the ticket disposes OF any contest for
Office. & 6
The gayels will be welded and the
convention called to order by the man who
later will be named for governor, Hon.
BENJAMIN B. odell, jr.. as chairman Of
the state committee, to whom falls the
honor Of first assembling the delegates.
In turn Mr.. odell will transfer the
gavel TO Lieutenant Governor Timothy
L. Wcsarufr, who viii act as temporary,
chairman of 4 convention that later
will honor him with nomination for
the third time TO the Office of lleuten-
ant governor. At the close OF the con-
vention, the governor OF the state OF
New York, a candidate on the national
ticket, will open the campaign In New
York state With speech.
Little Interest Manifested. s
There is little interest about the COR
ridors tonight in the convention pro-
ceedings because every Republican
here understands the programme.
There is some little gossip tonight
over the statement that Ex-Governor
Black is to make the speech nominating
Mr.. odell. II was Mr.. Black, who.
With the aid OF Mr.. Payne. beat Mr..
odel' for the nor,ination for governor
in 1895. and 1t was Mr.. Roosevelt who
beat Mr.. Black for denomination IN
1895. Mr.. Black has not been very
close worker In the party ranks for
two years, but the three men, Black.
odell and Roosevelt will appear upon
the same platform tomorrow.
The ticket and a synopsis of the
platform has already been sent by the
Associated Press and there is no
change to be noticed.
