OF ENGLISH OR IRISH BLOOD.
Famous PugiHsts in Nearly Every
Case Boast of One or the
Other.

England is the birthplace of the prize
fight. Famous pugilists have been
largely of English or Irish blood. But
to-day the great stars of the prize ring
are straighout Americans, except Fitz-
simmons, who is a Cornishman by birth
and an American by adoption. says the
Kansas City Star. Jeffries, the cham.
pion of the world; Corbett, the master
of the art of boxing, and McGovern,
the wonder of the light weight class,
are all of American birth. The first
recorded champion of England was
Figg, in 1719. The first recorded ring
battle in America was between Jacob
Hyer and Thomas Beasley, in 1916. Fist
fighting is still regarded as the natural
way to do battle in England, Corn wall,
Ireland. Canada, Australia and English
South Africa, but no fistic heroes in
those countries challenge the title of
Jeffries to the championship of the
world. One reason for this is doubtless
that the greater opportunities for MAX
ing money and winning fame had de-
veloped more frst-class pugilists in
America than elsewhere. But the fact
remains that the last foreign challenge
of an American champion heavy weight
pugiEst was in 1894, when Charley
Mitchell, of England, was retired by
Corbett.
The origin of prize fighting was the
natural disposition of the English
speaking peoples to fight with their
fists. All other nations fight with
weapons. A curious feature of this
characteristic is that it seems to have
come from lowland England, not from
Ireland or Scotland. Nor do nations
of kindred origin to the Saxon English,
such as the Scandinavians, seem to like
fisticufS- Neither can the custom to
fight with the fists be ascriDed to the
superior physical strength of the Eng
hsh, for, among people equally stall
wart, it is often unknown.
The only apparent reason for this pc
cullar fact is, perhaps, that fisticuffs be-
came custom during the period of
Norman sway in England, when the
Saxon people were deprived of arms.
This theory is supported by the fact
that where it is common to carry arms
INST fighting becomes obsolete, as, for
instance, pugilism had no place in the
history of the American frontier-it
was the revolver. The use of the fist in
dicates a desire to thrash or worst an
enemy, rather than kill him.

DEALING WITH CRIMES IN
CANADA.

From the Chicago-Times Herald on Jan.
uary 18th, 1901.
"The citizens of the Dominion of
Canada have just cause to be proud
of their record as law-abiding people.
The annual report of the criminal
statistics of the Dominion, which has
a population of over 100000, shows
that there were only twenty-five in
dictments for murder in 1899, of
which only two were left without
final action. Eleven of those indicted
were hanged, nine acquitted and
three confined as insane.
Canada is country of vast proper.
tions. It's people are scattered over
wide stretch of territory, making
police surveillance particularly diff.
cult and in many districts impossi-
bic. Yet city like New York OF
Chicago alone furnishes far greater
criminal sst every year than the
whole vast stretch of territory from
Quebec to Vancouver.
THE Canadians ascribe their i'm.
munity from crime to the prompt
ness with which punishment is
meted out to offenders. When a man
is caught red-handed in the act OF
robbing another he is not released on
straw bail by some justice of the
peace from the slums. to go out and
sapeat the offense. Sharp and sure
'i.Stice is meted out to criminals OF
all kinds, the result being that when
the guardians of the public peace
succeed in bringing thug to the bar
him a second time.
Furthermore there are few court
delays in Canada when a criminal is
brought to book. They have no
Dreyer cases over there. There are
no methods whereby Canadian Grim.

The above taken from the editorial
column of the Times-Herald gives
some idea of the immunity from
crime that exists in Canada, and this
is one of the many inducements held
out for Americans to settle in the
district known as Western Canada.
The season of 1901 will see a few sec
tions of the country opened up for
settlement. They are attractive in
every respect. 1t is understood that
one of the best Indian Reserves in
the famous Valley of the Saskat-
chewan will be opened up this year,
and an invitation is extended to those
desiring homes to make inquiries.
The price of the land is said to be

VANDERBILT CANES WASHERS Mr..
and Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, IT,, arc
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney arrived in
Paris Thursday. Friday morning the
three took an early train and went to
Versailles. While watching the skaters
on the palace lake Mr.. Vanderbilt left
the two ladies for few minutes.
Presently they were accosied By
couple OF exceedingly swell "masbers -
evidently Englishmen. Though vieor-
ously snubbed, the men persisted. and
one OF them caught hold of Mrs. Van
derbilt's elbow and offered to show her
over the grounds.
Mr.. Vanderbilt returned lust then.
and after two words of explanation be-
gan to cane the "msshers" right and
left.
The skaters Immediately trooped
around, and the palace guards, not un-
derstanding, as the quarrel Was 10 En-
glish, threatened to take everybody be.
for ethe Commissariat.
At this juncture an American present
Indignantly interposed and the Wander
bilt. Whitney party were allowed to de-
part.
