New York, August 25.- Whipped into
insensibility in less than two rounds
is the story in brief of Tom Sharkeys
meeting with Bob Fitzsimmons at the
ConeY Island sporting club last night.
F'itzslmmons was the victor, Sharkey
the loser. Fitzslmmons said all along
that when an opportunity presented
itself he would prove conclusively that
lie was Sharkey's superior and settle
accounts for the injustice done him
when he met Sharkey In California
four years ago Sharkey was equally
confident that he would prove to Fitz-
simmons master in the ring, but the
result of last nights battle and the
brevity of it proved that Fitzsimmons
is Still a great fighter and ables to
beat the best of the heayyweights.

notices and proclamations in a way that
would give the advertising tlend in
America some points. My teacher
brought me copy of Boxer proolama-
ton that he copied last week. 1 made
translation of it, but will not stop to
copy it lest what may be words, mere
empty, idle words, may startle you. The
writer derides Emperor, officials, and
people alike. His language concerning
the first two is almost blasphemous when
one renen bers the reverence inculcated
in the Chinese classics But the un-
known scorn is for very different reasons
from those which might actuate us. We
condemn them because they fail to recog-
nizs and protect their est interests; and
his yituperations are because they are SO
impasslye and slow to devise plans to free
the land from the pests that infest it,
He would have soldiers dispatched to
every corner to drive the teachers beyond
the seas and massacre all their adherents
within the borders. With the contempti-
bic doctrine stamped out sAere would
come a reign of peace and. reosp erity un-
known to the Ching dynasty. The
Boxers are now drilling near the south
gate OF the city, and the report is that
there are q good number. Their meetings
are held in an old temple. The Chinese
officials are afraid Of them because a
large proportion of this camp are
MaDchus and the Manohu officials who
could scatter them, and who should con-
troll thar affai,e soor,, 5noIt~aH to lot
matters take their own course. The
hatred against the Catholics is most viru-
lent. It is appalling to her of the OUT
RACES that the poor things suffer at the
hands Of this fanatical sect.
1T is pitiful to see the poor Chinese
in their terror dropping from the faith
and going back to their old custom OF
FASTING their household gods and burn
ing incense before them as feryently as
they have been taught to do to Mary,
the Holy Mother" Reference is made to
the visit of DR.. Clark of the Q. E., who
with Mrs Clark were Miss Morrill's
guests for several days. 1.-The meeting

of practical suggestions which when our
days ana ways are quieter, L shall util-
lie in my work. -
Miss Morrill, delightfully."- refers to the
fluctuations OF the Chinese housekeeper
when the cook in an angry fit takes TO
his bed, quite used up by the strain, and
says We did not specially enjoy his 40
senoe but the silver lining in the cloud
that he had not given out while we had
our guests, was so very bright that we
did not complain. 1t is supposed that
good servants in the Celestial kingdom
are as plentiful and perennial as buckle
berries in New England pasture, but
they ara not, with US They may be in

LETTER FROM FOO CHOW.
Extent Of Trouble Not Realized IN
Southern Pr4snces.

Mrs. II. L. Strout of Woodfor5s has re-
ceiged a letter from Miss Lydia S. Viii
kinson of the Methodist w f. NJ. S.,
dated Foo Chow, China, May 2Sth, where
the young ladies of Clark Memorial
church have supported a scholarship since
1896. Miss Wilkinson speaks very highly
Of Ding Ne Muoi, their student and
hopefully of the work of the mission.
There are one hundred girls in the board
ing school and sixty five in the orphan
age.
No reference is made to the troubles
there seriously agitating the northerly
provinces, by which it is evident that n
Foo Chow they were not aware Of the
gravity Of the situation certainly not an
ticipating the dire tragedies transpiring
since that date.

A great deal of interest is displayed in
local sporting circles in the sprint race
between Martin j. Kelly and Johnny
Sullivan. These men are entered in the
100 yards dash to be pulled off at the
picnic of the Bangor division of the A.
0. II. a week from next Wednesday.
Both men came together at the outing of
the Holy Name society recently and Kelly
defeated Sullivan by some two yards.
This is explained by Sullivan friends
who claim that Kelly started before the
pistol and thereby secured a lead that
Sullivan was unable to overcome. Sulli-
van is training and viii be in fine shape.
His friends Will undoubtedly offer odds.
Kelly on the other side is so confident
of his ability to defeat Sullivan that he
considers it unnece ssary to train, and left
last night FOR Boston where he has ac-
cspted aEposition as operator with the

THE LAW COURT TERMS.
state Bar Association Wishes the Law
Amended.

There was a meeting Of the State Bar
association yesterday afternoon at the
City building which was attended by
lawyers from all parts OF the state. Judge
Joseph W. Symonds, vice president Of
the association presided. The purpose OF
the meeting was to consider a report of d
special committee consisting OF Hon. G..
r. Libby, Col. ". S. Choate Of Augusta
and Hon. ii n. Heath Of Augusta,
which was appointed at the last meeting
OF the association to draw up a bill
amending the law providing for the term
OF the law court. They lawyers feel that
under tine existing law which provides
that terms OF the law court shall be held
in May at Augusta, in June at Bangor
and in July at Portland the terms come
too near together. Cases which are ap-
pealed to the law court are oftentimes de-
layed Tor over year on account of the
terms of the law court coming so near to-
gether and the idea is to make some bet
ter arrangements SO as TO facilitate the
business of the court. At the last meet
ing OF the State Bar association held at
Auburn the above mentioned committee
was appointed and yesterday they re-
ported a bill which would have the law
court hold sessions at Augusta in Janu-
airy for the entire state, IN May at Bangor
for the western district and in june at
Portland for the eastern district. The
report was generally discussed. It was
believed by some Of the lawyers present
that law term at Augusta in January
would conflict with the sessions of the
legislature and rs the accommodations in
Augusta during the legislative sessions
are not very good 1t was thought best to
recommend that the term at Augusta be
held in December. 1t was finally decided
to recommend the passage Of bill max
ing the law terms in December for Au-
gusta for the entire state, at Bangor in
May for the eastern district and in Port
land IN June for ths western district. A
committee consisting Of Hon. C. F.
Libby OF Portland, Col. w. S. Choate Of
Augusta, f. Il. Undertake Of Philips
Matthew Laughlin Of Bangor and John
Morrill, of Auburn was appointed to draw
up "a bill covering these provisions to be
submitted to the association for approval
at Augusta in February.

South Carolina. at the carit,i. and
while walking in procession to take a
carriage on the east front Of the capi-
tol he was approached by a man
named Richard Lawrence. who pre-
sented pistol within few feet of
him. The cap exploded, but did not ig-
mite the charge. Lawrence threw the
pistol away and drew another. which
also missed IRE. Gen. jackson was on
the arm OF Mr.. Woodbury.. secretary OF
the treasury. but pursued the assassin
with raised cane. Lieut.. Gedney Of the
navy knocked Lawrence down. and the
friends Of the president tried to re-
strain him. but he said: Let me 20.
gentlemen; am not afraid. They can't

the trial he behaved much as Guiteau
did. interrupting the proceedings and
talking all the time. until the Judge
ordered him to be removed from the
court room. A commission appointed
to examine into his coRdition reported
him of unsound mind. He was COM

lived for many years. There was an
attempt made to involve some political

The English pure-food authorities
are dealing strictly with offenders
against the milk laws. Mark Lane
Express mentions two recent cases
In one the charge was that part of the
cream had been removed and the milk
sold as whole. The defendant denied
that 1t was either skinned or watered
but was fined $40. In the other case
the use OF boracic acid WAS charged
against several persons, and fine
ranging from IS to $50 were imposed
One OF the witnesses. Prof. Boyee o
University College, said that this sub
stance was highly injurious no matter
how small a quantity was used. He
had experimental with kittens. and
found that even a minute quantity o.
boracic acid in the milk consumed b.
them was harmful.
