A New Coon.

There's "new coon" in the sport
ing world. He is Joe WolcOtt. One
night last week he whipped Joe
Choynski quickly and thoroughly, and
the feat mas made him famous. Wal.
colt is feet /! inches high and at the
time of the fight weighed l40 pounds.
ChOynski is a most feet and weighed
10 pounds. He is known as an eX-
tremely clever fighter, and stands pretty
close to the man who wears the cham
pionship bet. Nevertheless the little
negro hammered him into unconscious.
ness in a surprisingly short space of
time, meantime receiving little pun~
Isbment himself. Is the premiership
of pugillsm TO go to black man?
What a splendid type OF tireless activ>
ity is the sun as tie psalmIst desert hes
it issuing like "a bridegroom from his
chamb Der and rejoicing like a strong man
to run a race" Every man ought to
rise in the morning refreshed by sum-
Der and renewed by rest, eager for the
struggle of the day. But how rarely
this is so. Most people rise still unre-
freshed, and Dire ading the strain of the
days labors. The cause of this is de-
ficient vitality and behind this lies de-
ficient supply of pure, rich blood and an
inadequate nourishment of the body.
There is nothing that will give a man
strength and energy as will d.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does this
by increasing the quantity and quality
OF he blood supply. This nourisLes thr
nerves, builds up the enfeebled organs
and gives that sense of strength and
pOwerwhich makes the struggle of life a
joy. The good feeling which follows the
use of Golden Medical Discovery is not
due to stimulation as it contains no alco-
hOl, whiskey or other intoxicant. 1t does
not brace up the body, but builds it up
into condition of sound health. s2zsz |

said to have been inflicted by knife in
the hands of Charles Coleman, also col
ored. The wound, while serious. is not
thought to be dangerous. The Fourth
precinct police ar looking for Coleman but
his arrest had not been reported at a
late hour. An examination of the wound
showed that the knife had penetrated the
breast about an inch. and the physicians
thought 1t best to keep the negro at the
hospital over night. According to Dorsey,
the cutting was accidental He stated that
he was playing with Coleman, who did
not intend to cut him. Dorsey is twenty
five years of age. He lives at SIC II

SENSIBLE TEMPERANCE
A Word to Temperance Ladies'.

Il
1t is universally admitted that temper
ance women work, for their cause with a
desire TO make life happier; that is, in
temperance in drink causes an immense
/ amount of misery in human life, and the
| temperance movement is an effort to re-
place this misery with happiness, peace,
and comfort.
Many temperance women make the mis-
, take Of going at the subject hammer and
tongs and proposing to force people 10
believe their way. 1t is far better to en-
ercise a broad charity and take the posi-
/ ton that ones own peace of mind and
| happiness. not only of the individual. but
of the family and friends, depends upon
sensible habits of life.
a very much greater foe to human hap
piress than whisky exists, and ii will
startle many an honest temperance work
err when the name OF that foe is given. IL
is spelled coffee. Il don't believe ii, "
some ardent temperance worker says, who
is really n slave herself to the coffee cup.
! Cast your thought among your sick
friends, nervous, irritable, broken down
women. whose home are anything but
peaceful homes because of the irritation
and friction brought about by their physi-
cal and mental condition. In ninety-five
cases out of a hundred the nervousness.
irritability dyspepsia. kidney trouble. fe-
male troubles. and various diseases which
such people are subject 10. come directly
from a broken-down, nervous system,
brought about by the daily use of coffee.
Careful chemical analysis proves this
statement TO be absolutely true. and per-
scpal experiment will prove the same to
anyone who cares to make it.
You may have few friends who are
made miserable by whisky. but you have
scores OF friends whose lives are made
miserable. as well as the lives of their
families, by the use of coffee. Hard to be-
lieve, isn't it? Many of the most profound
truths are not accepted by humanity when
first brought to humanitys attention. but
they are truths. nevertheless.
Try for yourself. reader. Leave off cof-
fee altogether and start in with Postum
Food Coffee. which can be obtained at any
frst-c!ass grocery store. You will find
within ten days an Improvement in the
sum total of happiness for yourself and
for your friends about you. Life will take
on n new aspect; strength. vigor. and vi
tally will begin to come back for your
use. You can do things that you have
heretofore been unequal to. You can &C
complish something in this world and you
can quietly and without ostentation be-
come a most efficient worker in securing
to humanity that peace content, and hap
piness that We are all seeking.

communication from the Takoma Park
Citizens Association enclosing a copy of
a resolution. adopted recently, favoring a
bond issue for the improvement of Wash
ington. The resolution sets forth the be-
lief on the part of the citizens of Takoma
Park that the growth of the city has not
only been retarded but that the health of
its people and It's suburban development
have been impaired for want of necessary
public improvements. II is also stated
that it is imperative that adequate funds
should be raised in the most expedient
manner to relieve the pressing necessi-
ties of the greater Washington.
The resolution then advocates the i'm
mediate issue Of bonds al low rate Of
interest sufficient to meet the present re-
quirements for street extension, sewers.
and water. and that half of the expense
in every case shall be borne by the Uni
ted States Government. To aid in carry
ing out the aims of the resolution. a COM
mittee was appointed to cooperate with
similar committees of other associations
for the purpose Of urging these things
