FRONT RANK PUGILISTS
SELDOM GET RATIFIED.

An opponent of boxing declared the
other day that glove fights are brutal
because the pugilists do not engage in
friendly fisticuifs. In ether words, he
meant to say that fighters lose their
heads and bang away with the demon
aliZation of boys in the street and open
lots. AS a matter of fact, pugilsts who
know their business do not become hot
headed in the ring. 1t doesn't pay to
lose ones temper when under a hot fire
of jabs and swings. The pugiist who
cannot keep cool and good natured I'M

with friendly remarks. 1t was in the

EVENTS IN BONlERDOM.
A RESUME Of EVENTS of THE
PAST WEEK ON THE DIFF
FERENT ALLEYS.
THE WINTER TOURNAMENTS
In Full Blast. With No Change in the
Degree of Interest Manifested.
Standing and Averages of Individ-
uals and Teams-Echoes from the
Alleys.

Another eventful week has passed
election week., one that would make
many an organization tremble on
its foundation, but not so with the
Wheeling Bowling League, for as usual
the body of men that comprise the var
ious teams have proven that they will
not allow anything to stand in the
way of their chief winter sport, and
again is it proven that in the success
OF a bowling tournament is due to the
ten chief executives or captains OF the
teams.
Below will be found a review of the
work to date:

APPROVES MRS. NATION.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, January 20
Mother Stewart, famous over the world
for her crusade in the interests of tenn
perance, when asked to-day her Cpin-
ion of Mrs. Nation and her acts in
Kansas, said:
Il glory in her" Continuing. Moth
err Stewart said:
Il was asked similar question re-
Gently by minister, and to him re-
piled l upheld Mrs. Nation and be-
lieved that if I had a husband and
sons who were being ruined by the
liquor habit l, too. would develop some
of the she-bear instinct"
Mother Stewart was asked if she
thought Mrs Nations acts would ac-
complish any real good, and to this
question she replied:
Well. the mind Of man is very slug
gish and accustomed to run somewhat
in grooves. and it needs something to
startle it in order to arouse him to
action. | sincerely trust Mrs Nations
work will accomplish this result, not
only in Kansas, but right here in
Ohio"

Giuseppe (Joseph) Verdi was the

school of creators of Italian opera. He
was born at Roncole, near Busseto, Oc-

1881 TO 1888, when he returned to Brus-

Provost, deceased. After five unhappy
years Verdi returned TO Milan. His

GOSSIP OF THE SPORTS.

Some years ego when instructors in
gymnasiums were anxious to vary the
monotony of the indoor period OF work
by some change from the dreary rou-
tine of exercise with the various we'll
known forms of apparatus, a gentle
man in New England named Naismith
came forward with the game of basket
ball. The new pastime achieved in
slant recognition and has grown more
and more popular yearly. especially in
the western part of the country. The
game has been steadily improved both
in regard to methods and apparatus
until now it is very fast and exciting.
The craze for novelty and change,
however, has struck basket ball in
common with most other sports. Some
teams have donned roller skates while
engaged in playing and as a result
have injected so much vim and dash
into it that q great many enthusiasts
do not care for any other style. Roll
er polo is one of the fastest and most
exciting indoor sports, and yet those
who have seen the new basket ball on
skates insist that it knocks the spots
out of roller polo.
Of course, certain notifications must
be made in the existing basket ball
rules when it is Played on roller skates,
but any team that desires to take up
the new method can easily adapt the
existing regulations TO suit the changed
conditions until the matter is done off,
cially, as it undoubtedly will be before
next season.

FEEL THE DEMAND.

LONDON, January 26.-The after eff
feet of Queen Victoria's death on bust
ness is vital and remarkably wide
spread. 1t particularly affects dealers
in all sorts of clothing and furnishings
and all goods connected with amuse-
ments, festivities, theatricals and dim
ners. Black is the only color dis
played in the shop windows through
out the Empire. The milliners' stores
are filled with black bonnets and 9TH
er establishments have a funeral show
of black cloths, gloves, neckties and
hats. In London every Englishman
who can afford it is wearing black
clothes, black neck-tie and black
gloves. The women are all attired in
black and the officers of the army and
navy have Grape bands on their arms.
All army flags are draped with black.
Naturally, there will be loss on stocks
of colored goods, particularly in the
case of London firms accustomed to
depend on court and society business.
On the other hand, dealers in black
goods will be able to sell their entire
stocks at very great profit. In fact,
famine in black goods threatens the
British markets and offers an appor-
tunity for American enterprise. Brit
ish orders are already
Exhausting the Resources
of the French and German manufact-
urers. 1t is said that Lyons, Dresden
and other Continental centers are al
ready refusing more orders. One of
the principal wholesale firms in Lon
don, it is announced, has already de-
clined 1000 orders. The same story
comes from other factories, which are
running night and day to supply de-
mands. Says one wholesale dealer:
1T is difficult to say how and where
the demand will end. Assuming that
the period of mourning will be pro-
longed for whole seasons, trade will be
revolutionized and some branches will
be paralyzed"
Another authority estimates that by
the weekend 100000 had been spent
in mourning.

1t appears that in all justice Harry

known, however, that il is a difficult
matter to arrive at such a conclusion.
Many things nave to be taken into

cords, of victories and defeats will not

chanical, must be regarded. Most i'm
portant of these is the matter of peace
