Football Ys. Prize Fighting.


 In this year of our Lord 1900 we hear and read great deal relative. to the evils of prize fighting. That it is a great evil we do not dispute and we fully recognize the fact that it has about it the clements which conduce to inn morality and the blighting of the re- deeming qualities of mankind and we also fully appreciate and laud every ef- fort made and legislation enacted to suppress and restrict thls evil. It is stated, from the pulpit and press-and rightfully- that it is a brutal and dis reputable sport. that it arouses the de- grading passions and results in mur- ders and love for vulgarity.
 But how about football as it is play cd today? Recognized as legitimate sport by the clergy, college professors, the press and the ''better elements" of society. An intercollegiate game wit messed by large and enthusiastic audi enoes, large proportion of which are AhuAcc Wuo, 70 sAo knLno PkoC00uo, 6Oe excited, applaud and shout, become scarried away" so to speak. with ner vous excitement and act more like . crowd of lunatics than rational beings. What if two or three of the participants of the game are either killed, half kill ed, maimsd or mutilated for life and the game is interrupted while hurry call is sent for an ambulance and physiciana It only tends to increase the excitement, add interest in the game while the sur- vivors are lionized by their numerous fair admirers.
 Now as matter of fact, more lives are lost and more permanent and seri- ous injuries sustained each year, twice over, in football than in prize fighting and, by the way, there is just about as much immortality attached to it. Gambling is openly conducted and it is not confined to the men by any means -the ladies give and take bets as pro- fusely and systematically ss the lords of creation. There is hardly game play ed but that some one is either killed or injured. More than five young men have been killed while playing the game solar this fall and the injured amount to nearly 100. Think of the young men right here in Litchfield county who are suffering today with broken collar bones, legs, arms and internal injuries.
 In our opinion, if those who are now interested in the suppression of the evil of prize fighting should turn their at- tention and efforts towards the restric. tion of football playing, they would &C., oomplish much greater good and abol- ish much greater evil.

Senor CalvO. through whom negotia-

appointed In 1891. He is very highly
regarded both in diplomatic and social
circles and is recognized as a diplomat
OF ability as well as an affable and
cultured gentleman. Joaquin Il. CalvO
was born in San Jose, the capital OF
Costa Rica. and bears the same name
as his father. who was greatly distin-
guished In Central America for his
long and important services as a states
man. The younger CalvO was educat-
ed in his native city and by training as
well as by wide experience and natural
aptitude is admirably qualified for the
responsible position he holds. Though
comparatively a young man. he has
rendered much valuable service TO his
country. In 1885. when peace was dis
turbed by the war cry of General Bar
rios OF Guatemala. the government at
the close OF the revolution established
war claims commission. placing Sc
nor Calvo among Its members. In 1887
he reOrganiZed the police force OF his
