at rs East Fourth for three months as
a saloon and COL Hughes never
found it out OF course it is now in or
Der for him to say that he does not
know that the Wood Brothers are stil

A State Journal reporter visited the
place today. The front part is fitted
up as cigar store and then there is a
lunch counter back of that. At the

SAID that the Wood Brothers bought out

Constantinople, Monday, March 4. via
Sofia Bulgaria, March 5.-The censor at
Constantinople suppressed the reply OF
the Associated Press correspondent here
to the inquiry as to the truth of the
statement circulated by a news agency
in the United States March that there
have been 5000 arrests in Macedonia,
as the result of the discovery of a big
plot there. The statement made by the
news agency is wholly imaginary. Al
together there have only been about 200
arrests in viIayets Of Salonica, MOnastir
and Uskub, resulting from the discovery
of documents connected with the move
ments Of the Macedonian committees.
The forces now in Macedonia are re-
garded as sufficient for the maintenance
of order. The object of the additional
movements of troops is merely to as
sure an efficient watch on the frontier

MOTORMAN SAVES LIFE.
Aged Man Snatchcd from Under the FRst-Moving Chr by Its Quick
 Witted Driver.

John Grimley, 70 years old, was knocked down by Broadway car at Thirty-sixth street, New York city, the other night, and but for the al- most superhuman effort of the mo- torman, John Shea, who reached far down over the dashboard, and, with a powerful effort, drew him away, would have been killed or seriously injured. Grimley was unconscious when the car stopped.
 The old man was tottering and weak, and had no home. He was taken to the Thirtieth street station and locked up on the charge of vag- rancy. A large crowd, which had col 1ected, cheered the motorman. He said he had simply done the right thing.
 Long before the car had come to a stop bystanders say Shea, who had been working frantically at the brakes, climbed over the front dash board, and, hanging to the brake handle with one hand, reached down with the other and grasped the old mans collar.
 He lifted the old man from under the fender and set him down at one Eiae of the moving car.

 Mime. Patti would never play in an opera where anyone had to sit on a table. This was because she had not made the success in Carmen that she had in other operas. She attributed this entirely to the fact that she had to sit on table in the inn scene in the second act. Mime. Scalchi was in very sad way if she met anyone that squinted, and she would go through a long lot of evolutions to rid her self of the evil spell. Maros foible was smoking. As smoking was for bidden at the theater, he>would never sign a contract until the clause which made him an exception to the rule was inserted. He would have his valet waiting in the wings with a match and cigar, and would rush off the stage, take few whiffs and then return to tender love scene. The cigars that he smoked cost .him half crown, and he never more than partially finished one. Even the street boys in London knew him, and when they followed his carriage, cheering, he would have a handful of coins ready to toss to them.-Philadelp Saturday Evening Post.

 1.-The bidding started off briskly, but I soon noticed that certain man was getting everything that was put up. I thought nothing of it at the time, taking it for granted that he was some one desirous of furnishing a house and thought the opportunity a good one to do it cheap. When the sale ended he had bought everything in sight and congratulated the lady of the house on having sold all her goods to one man and thus simpli- fled closing matters up.

cannda,s Swift Gunboat.

The swiftest boat ever seen in Otta- wa has been tested on the Rideau canal. It is 30 feet long, b;silt on the lines of a warship, and in the test ran at a speed of 20 miles an hour for some distance. The craft was built for V. l.. Emerson. of this city, who designed the engine for the boat. Ii is intended to fill the place of an auxiliary torpedo boat, such as is used in the United States and Britain. The main object of the vessel is to obtain speed with a light draught power that is instantaneous in operation, noiseless and smokeless, and which gives no evidence of it's locality to the enemy.
 Queens Arm 5000 Years old.
 Exploration has now revealed relics of Menes, the founder of the Egyptian monarchy, fashioned more than $500 years ago. Of Fer, the successor to Menes, it is astonishing to find the forearm of his queen still in its wrappings, with four splendid bracelets intact. This brilliant and exquisitely finished group of jewelry is 2,000 years older than the jewelry of Dahshur, the oldest up to then known. The arm of the queen had been broken off by the first plunder- CTS and had laid hidden in hole in the wall of the tomb. -- London snienne SiftinRa.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Matty Matthews Wins From Tom
 Couhig on a Foul.

Matthews Would Have Won Any
 Way, but Couhig Fouled to Save
 Himself-Jordan of England An
 swers Terry McGovern's Challenge
 Notes Taken at the Ringside.
 Fort Erie Ont, Oct 29.-"Matty'' Mathews beat Tom Couhig of Dun kirk last night at the International A. c. in five rounds on a foul. The bout was a fast exhibition while it lasted, Couhig saving himself from clear knockout by fouling the New Yorker after two minutes and thirty-siX sec onds of fighting in the final round.
 The beginning of the end came when Matthews landed hard right on the Dunkirk fighters jaw as the men came out of a clinch. Couhig collapsed and fell to the floor on his back.
 At eight seconds he arose webbing and rushed Matthews to the ropes in a vain endeavor to clinch out the re maining time Matthews slipped to the floor and Couhig jabbed him on the jaw as he endeavored to rise to his feet Referee Mcbride sent Couhig to his corner and gave Matthews the fight, although it would have been his to a certainty had the round gone the remaining seconds.
 About 1,T00 people saw the bout.
 Joe Mackey beat Dave Battlestone in two rounds, and George Salce, Frank Erne's sparring partner, fought ten rounds to a draw with Otto Knop in the preliminaries. Couhig and Matthews both weighed in at 13S pounds ill fine condition. Spike Sulli- van meets Curley Supplies at the In ternational Athletic club two weeks from tonight for twenty rounds at 135 pounds.
 In the first round Couhig swept Matthews into his corner with a long right, and put left on jaw. Couhig retreated from left swing and almost went through the ropes. Couhig took light left on stomach, and slammed good right on the ribs as the bell rang.
 Just after the second round opened Matthews feinted Couhig into a gro- esque lead and jabbed left across on the nose.
 Couhig reached ribs with left and prettily blocked a similar lead. Mat thews put right on heart and was forced to the ropes with left and right swings. Both tried lefts for jaw in the third. Matthews feinted with left and reached jaw with right. Couhig swung Mathews into the ropes While "Matty'' sneered as the gloves of the Dunkirk boy went back.

How Russia Prevents Riots.

Riots and disturbances are prac- tically unknown in all the vast en,- pire of the czar, stretching, as it does, in an unbroken line from the Baltic to the Pacific. The reason for this is the wise precaution arising from the pop .ulation fraternizing with the military, says Pearson's Magazine. The gov ernment distributes the troops in such way that they have nothing in common with the population. Tar taEs are sent to districts where there are no Tartar compa triots, the Poles and Little Russians go to St. Peters burg, the Caspian regiments to Kron- stadt-thousands of miles from home -and the purely Russian troops are stationed in Poland, Caucasia, Finland or any other district that might pos sibly cause the government trouble.

The substitutes played two twenty minute halves, during which the first eleven scored three times and the second once, the latter being on blocked kick. The signal practice was lengthy and large ly devoted to developing variations of the tandem tackle formation.
