The marital statistics collected by

interesting. Thus, the extent and
power of the anti-marital forces can
be estimated in a way by ascertain
Ing the proportion of people between

been married. Census statistics show
that the proportion of unmarried fe-
males between these ages Is greatest
In the east, in North Carolina, Rhode
Island and Massachusetts, for in

THE CONTRAST.
Men, on the contrary are far more
likely to- remain single in the west
than in the east. The proportion OF
unme ericd men between 55 and. GA is
lowest in the southern states, e. g.
Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia, and
greatest in the block of western states
| west of the Mississippi. In Nevada
1872 per cent, of the males between
55 and Ga have never been married

That marriage Is still pre-eminently

RUHLIN IN BAD SHAPE.
Feared for a Time That Fitz's Knock
out Blow Would BE Death
of PrizeGEhter,

New York, Aug. 13.-Gus Rubin,
who was knocked out in the sixth
round by Fitzsimmons Friday night
in the contest at Madison Square
garden, is at the home of Billy Mad
den In Brooklyn recovering from the
terrible punishment OF the fight.
For several hours after he received
the knockout blow, after he had been
taken to Turkish bathhouse. his
condition was considered so serious
that medical aid was summoned The
defeated mans friends were so much
alarmed that they believed he was
knocked out for good. Rubin had
violent hemorrhages in the nose and
was bleeding from the ear When the
doctor reached the patient the latter
was unconscious and only regained
his senses under the influence of pow
erful stimulants, A short time after
Rubin fell asleep, but the attending
physician thought it best to remain
with him for several hours.
About six o'clock in the morning
Rubin had sufficiently recovered to
be able to leave the baths and the
doctor accompanied him, it is sup
posed, to Madden's home.
Fitzsimmons, meanwhile, was rest
ing quietly at the Hotel Bartholdi,
and while Rubin was suffering from
his blow the victor was ordering
seller lemonade,

CATTLE FOR SCOTLAND.
The Ewart brothers in Poyeshiel
County Are Extensively Engaged
in Shipping Them Across Ocean.

Ewart Bros, of Poweshiek county,
nave entered extensively into the bust
ness OF shipping cattle across the
ocean, and the industry undoubtedly
will be taken up by other large stock
raisers in the state. During the past
year they have had over 800 head Of
cattle on their farms, preparing them
for the market. Four shipments al
ready have been made. The men who
accompanied the first shipments have
returned home. They report that the
cattle gained right along on the trip,
weighing more when they reached
Glasgow than when they left New
York. The rations for the cattle
while on shipboard are half bushel
of shelled corn day, together with
all the hay they eat. The first ship
ment consisted of 100 head, which
averaged Sill each. The widest of
steers became perfectly tame when on
the ocean, and when the sea was
rough they seemed to appreciate the
presence of the men among them.
The cattle take care of themselves
during storm much better than
horses, as they lay down as soon as
the boat gets to tossing about. The
animals scented land long before it
was in sight, and they INDUCED in Wig
orous bawling in anticipation of their
release.
