sHARKEY WHIPS KENNEY.
The Big Boxer Knocked Out i'm On.
Round.

NEW YORK, June s.-Tom Sharkey,
the sailor pugiiist, made short work Of
"Yank" Kenney, the former sparring
partner of Bob Fitzsimmons, at the
Broadway Athletic Club tonight. Kenney,
who was not in the best condition, weighed
fully 2l5 pounds. and was knocked out In
two minutes and sixteen seconds in the
first round.
Sharkey was in splendid condition and
hurried matters from the sound of the
gong. Kenney stood up to the gaff while
IL lasted and shook the sailor I'D with
several heavy wallops, but when Sharkey
got his right squarely to the jaw 1t was
all over The building was crowded. and
the sudden ending of the battle was not
generally relished.
Besides having big adyantag" in weight
Kenney was head taller and looked
strong enough to put up fierce fight.
He was not so hard in body and limb.
however, and Sharkey's aggressiveness
and punching proved too much for him.

came to where the snake was coiled
fast around the young rabbit, and with
two or three rakes with her sharp
teeth forced the snake to free the
young rabbit, which ran off in great
glee. In the snakes agony and ex-
citement it seemed that the snake
would capture the old rabbit; but she
leaped off some distance and watched
the movements of the snake. On seeing
the snake turn to the brush she made
another leap for the snake and gave
him another rake with her teeth, and
the snake climbed the brush and the
rabbit leaped off rejoicing, having
won the victory over the serpent.
Mr.. Briles then killed the snake and
found that the rabbit had cut one
third of the snakes body in two. It
was mortally mounded by the rabbit

black snake and a rabbit. The COM

road near N. R. Skeen's mill, in brush
pile near the road, he heard the cry of
a young rabbit. Stopping his horse he
discovered large black snake coiled
round rabbit about one-third grown.
Mr.. Briles decided to watch the snake
and before the young rabbit ceased
begging for mercy there came up to
the snake an old rabbit and began
scenting along on the snake until she

STUMP SPEAKERS PRICES.

Pay a Dishonor In 1879, Now Regular
Campaign Expense.
L. A. Coolidge in Ainslees.
Champaign orators in the service of
the national committees are we'll paid
for their work. This is not generally
understood, and it was not the case
until comparatively recent years. In
the earlier days they usually rendered
volunteer service. So universal was
the custom that discredit attached in
the public mind to a political speaker
who received compensation. In the
campaign of 1872 Carl schurz, then q
senator from Missouri, was charged
with having. been paid 5000 speech
for bis advocacy of the election of
Horace Greedy. The charge made
something of scandal at the time,
and although Schurz denied the pay
ment of this specific sum he was never
able wholly to clear himself of the
faint which was supposed to attach to
receiving any pay whatever. He had
a bitter controversy with Roscoe
Conkling in the senate about it, during
which Conkling, in his supercilious
way, expressed his contempt of the
practice of which he thought Schurz
had been guilty. Nowadays campaign
speaking has become matter Of regu-
lar employment, although, of course,
payment is by no means universal, and
the most conspicuous. orators-espec-
tally those who hold high place in
the party-render volunteer service,
and will accept nothing beyond their
travelling and hotel expenses. The
men in charge of presidential cam
paign prefer to pay on the spot for
what they get. This is far better than
