over h latest move of Kid Mccoy,
which was to insure his life for SIS, 900.
Sharkey is to box the Kid shortly.
The siX-round bout between Sharkey
and Choyinski will take place in Chicago

Jim Jeffries, in a New Yorl. interview,
denies that he has declared that he in
tends to hole out for George Siler for
referee. jeff says any fair man will suit
him.
Ed Dunkhorst. the Human Freight
Car, has been engaged by Jim Jeffries as
one of his sparring partners. Jeffries
has been looking for a big fellow to box
with, and, at Tommy Ryan's suggestion,
selected Dunkhorst.

FOUNDED IN WISDOM.

In the text, beloved, the Apostle
says, Let not the sun go down upon
your wrath"
Let us look at this in the light Of the
holiday season, now almost upon us.
In the winter the days are shorter
than in summer,
In the glad time Of the Christmas
festival the days are at their shortest
There is therefore. less time for
wrath between the rising OF the sun
and the going down of the same than
at any other season of the year.
Consequently II we obey the lnjunc-
ton Of the great apostle, and let our
wrath, malice, and uncharltableness
vanish with the going down OF the sun,
the aggregate OF peace and good will Is
greater during the glad Christmas
time than at any other, and the glori-
GUS promise made by the angels to the
shepherds who were watching their
llocks by night Is fulfilled
Thus, we see, brethren, how grandly
nature itself joins hands with Paul and
bids us heed his admonition, in the do
ing Of which we make our Christmas
joyful to ourselves and a blessing to
the whole earth Notes from forth.

A CURIOUS RAILWAY.

The most curious railway in the
world is undoubtedly that one at the
bathing resort, Juist, on the North
Sea. The land here is Of so strange
formation, extending so far out into
the sea and making 1t impossible for
boats to land, that a peculiar device
has been adopted for the landing of
passengers from ships, First they
must get into sailboats, which come
As far as the end of the railroad track,
and then the passengers get into the
cars and are pulled to dry land by the
horses that wade between the tracks
as they pull the cars UP on dry land.
The horses are sometimes up to their
necks in water at high tide, but they
press bravely forward, and at last find
firmer foothold as they get nearer to
land, For years this method has been
used though every winter the storms
tear up some Of the track Of this water
railway We wonder why they use
horses and don't string trolley wire
overhead to pull the ears up, and per
haps they win do So, but 1t would be
a pity to abolish this unique horse car
where the horse has almost to swim to
do this work. Cincinnati Commercial

that the great shower will not occur
until next year or the year following,
The fact that last year more meteors
were seen than this year, is rather
opposed TO this view, but not at all
conclusive, ana astronomers generally
think that very considerable display
is likely to occur in 1900,
II is perhaps worth mentioning that

which in 1866 preceded the meteoric
swarm in their orbit, and was expected

portunity, though his appointment is
not yet announced nor his capacity
not yet decided We all, naturally,
are very much interested in the war,
especially in the success of the inn

has the sanction of Lord Lansdowne
and Lord Vantage. We already have
secured 10000 pounds and need 10000
pounds to provide $50 beds for the
duration of the war. 1t has occurred
to the ladies of the committee that we
may properly count on the assistance
of the American and Canadian peo-
pie in our efforts to establish hos
pital at Capetown and as the matter
has not yet been presented to their
notice we believe they only need to
know our wants to grant us generous

Therefore the 1000 English warriors

MEMORIAL TO NOAH WEBSTER.
Library to be Established at West
Hartford, His Birthplace.

Hartford, His Birthplace.
The legislature ut its last session
chartered the Noah Webster Mem
orial association of West Hartford. Its
object is to raise the money for
memorial library in honor the famous
photographer and to erect in the place
of his birth building which shall be
worthy of the subject. 1t has gone on
very quietly and the public has not
generally, we presume, been aware of
its existence yet 1t is Differed by
some of the best citizens and its object
is worthy one West Hartford GER
tainly can boast of no more famous
man among her sons. His fame may
be truly said to be world wide for his
dictionary Of the English language is
an authority everywhere, An Ameri-
can work, it was practically the pio-
neer of dictionaries. The marvel is
that such work should be accom-
plished by one man, with so little in
the shape of previous works produced
in English to aid him. Noah Webster
was born October l6, 1888 in what was
then and for long time afterward
that part of Hartford now known as
West Hartford, now town by itself;
and he died on May rs, 1S43, in his
eightyffth year.
1t is long list Of educational works
that stands to his credit as an author
The two that are most celebrated are
the dictionary and the old Spelling

for use in the public schools of the
early days of this century, having had
the most enormous sale probably of
any book in this Country Edition
after edition appeared for two genera
tons until the aggregate sales of the
work amounted to figures that were
phenomenal. 1t is now, like the old
New England Primer, gone out Of date;
but there are numerous elderly people
today who will remember it. Among
his other activities, Noah Webster
was influential in the establishment OF
Amherst college and was president of
the first board Of trustees. When La

devoted his leisure for the remainder

tionary and schoolbooks. He lived to
supervise the second and enlarged edi-
tion OF the former work, which had
been enormously enlarged in several
later editions Dr.. Noah Porter, after
ward president Of Yale, brought ont the
fourth edition.
Mr. Webster's interest in educational
work led him 70 visit some Of the
schools more than half a century ago

both have been captured. On Thurs
day Sheriff Bradbury was notified by

boys. Yesterday he got trace OF
them, which was followed by Deputy
