''The war which President Jackson be-

war which opened in his cabinet over
the question whether Peggy Eaton

Washington as a cabinet lady," writes
Perllne, IN the December Ladies' Home

administration generally reached the con-
cIuslon chat 'Peggy Eaton should be

Old Hickory even broke out in his own

HARRIS OFFERS GOOD ODDS.
Terry's Manager Has Confidence in
the Terror's Ability to win,

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Dec $50 colt
fdeut is Sammy Harris the manager OF
Terry McG0vern, that his man will win
next Thursday nights battle with Joe
Cans that he has offered to bet $500
even that McGOvern will secure the de-
cision and 500 to 1850 that McGovern
will knock out his opponent
Of this money $1,000 was placed in the
hands OF John Mccoy, who will place
it. This money is divided into two parts
$500 even to $I,250 that McGovern will
knock out Cans. This commission will
be placed in bets ranging from s. up
ward.
From this it can be seen that Harris
made the match feeling confident that
he would surely win the decision and
that his man might even do better than
that and knock his opponent out befoi e
the six rounds are concluded
That Cans is considered tough prop
osition can be seen by the hard wo k
that McGovern is doing. He admits that he
has never worked harder for any of his
previous matches. One of the surprising
facts connected with the bout is the
fact that McGOvern is training down in
stead as was expected. This shows that
McGovern looks for fast fight and he
wants to be in the best possible con-
dition when he faces the colored light
weight.
