there is because it is closest to God,

Origin of n Feud.

Nowhere is the feud so common, so old, so persistent, so deadly, as in the, Kentucky mountains. Nowhere else is there such organization, such division of enmity to tEe limit of kinship. About 35 years ago two boys were playing marbles in the road along the Cumberland river down in the Kentucky mountains. One had patch on his trousers. The other boy made fun of it, and the boy with the patch went home and told his father. Thirty years of To- cal war was the result The factions fought on after they had forgotten why they had fought at all.-Scrib- ner's Magazine.

Paris Committee Selects Chicago for
 Big Meet in 1904. < Paris, May p. The committee hay ing in charge the quadrennial Olymp- ian games, at it's meeting at the Auto mobile club yesterday, unanimously selected Chicago as the place for hold ing the contests in 1904.

BROOKLYN FIELD ORDINARY.

As the time for the Brooklyn handl- cap approaches the impression gains ground thatt the field will not be of the usual attractiveness. Yesterday it was said that Raffaello' had thrown his hip out of joint and would not run; also that McMeekin had pulled up lame in the morning and was a doubtful start CT. Banastar worked over the distance in the afternoon in PIT. It is said now that he will go to the post. Gulden worked mile in 1:4511s. Star Bright's defeat by First Whip and Alsike ill the last race yesterday was another blow at the quality of Saturdays big race. It is also doubtful whether Brigadier will go. Altogether it looks as if the Brooklyn field win be very ordinary, instead of containing the leading stars of the turf.

mer Together In MaLcn.
 Thus far the efforts to match Frank Kramer, the amateur champion or 1899, and Walter $. Fenn, the amateur champion of last year, have come to naught though both men seem willing and anxious to try conclusions, now that they are in the professional ranks. Fenn, who like Bald, gets into, condlr ton late in the season, declined to make match with Kramer on the Vailsburg track before next month, though he will agree to meeting no- where else, because Vailsburg is con sidered the nome track of Kramer, who lives in Orange. Fenn would have assented to a race there if a pursuit ride had been acceptable after one mile heat. Kramer did not agree to this, at which Fenn refused to go in straight heats. Fenn said he was willing to ride on Kramer's conditions at Hartford now and it is believed he is anxious enough to have it out With Kramer to do so at Vailsburg before long.
 In a twenty-mile race with J. L.. Moran at the Coliseum bicycle track in Washington yesterday afternoon, Harry Bikes broke the worlds record for one mile, paced, in competition. He finished the six laps of the third mile in 1:30 3-5, about three seconds less than the earlier record. Bikes lost the race, however, through accidents to three different motor pacing machines. Moran's time for the twenty miles was 39 minutes 13 4-5 seconds. Bikes fin- ished unpaced. His seventeenth mile was done in 2 minutes 20 seconds, the eighteenth in 2 minutes 21 seconds, fast enough to have won in any or dinary one-mile event. About 5000 apersons saw the race.
 Nat Butler will make his first ap- pearance on the track since the l.. A. w. abandoned control of racing on next Saturday at the Charles River park track, where he will ride Walthour and Champion in a middle distance paced race. Walthour left New York for Boston last night in order to have a couple of days training.
 Will Stinson wheeled in splendid form last night at Charles River park, Boston, in spite of his many training accidents, which threatened to put him temporarily out of the game, and won the twenty-five mile motor-paced race from Archie McEachern and Burns Pierce. Stinson rode with head up and esaily, never changing pace, and cut ting out fast gait from the pistol shot. Pierce had the pole, but Stin- son caught his pace first and jumped away for a lead of fifty yards, which he gradually increased until the fifth mile he had gained lap and by the tenth another. He finished with a lead of three and three-quarter laps. Mc- Eachern. was second. Almost at the close of the race McEac11ern's motor gave way and his steersmau, French, received a broken collar bone in the spill. Stinson's time was 41:22 3-5, McEachern's 43:01 1s5, and Pierce's 43:47 1-5.

Importance of Emerv.

Not the least important of the sev- era1 imported minerals at present largely used in this country is emery. It comes from the Island of Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean and many tons of the material are now used in the United States annually. Emery is one of the hardest substances known and 1t is found in massive layers or beds, which have to be blasted before the miners can work at it.-.Washing- ton Star.

Jovial Sam Fitzpatrick is about to import Jack Roberts for the purpose of meeting Terry McGovern. Roberts has one good victory to his credit, that over Will Curley. The bout with Smith resulting in [the latter's death should be wiped off the record. 1t was a bad match, with a deplorable ending. Roberts should not take on McGovern to begin with.

 Some Bouts Last Night in Manches-
 ter.
 Matthews and Ferns are to have a bout at Toronto Friday night for the Welterweight championship, and it ap-5 pears there is some bitterness between the men. Both have contracted the typewriter habit and are deluging the newspapers with caustic comments on each other. Here is specimen: When I meet that wild western hay maker, known to certain few who read the Woman's Home Journal as the Kansas Rube, in Toronto next Fri day night, I will make him look like a busted sieve. In the past I have nourished in my heart kind things of Reuben, but when I read in a recent interview with him, printed in the Anti Cigarette Leagues Torchlight, that my face gave him a nightmare, while my form resembled nothing so much as a cushion stuck full of pins, the compassion all left my heart and hatred has taken its place. If Reuben comes back to Buffalo on q stretcher, remember that I gave him warning fully a week in advance. Yours full of fight, M. Wellington Matthews, champion welterweight of the world. New York, May 16.'' Tt is seldom that I care to tell the public my woes and refuse to go into any length to- day in reference to them; but I wish to give warning to my friends that un- less trim one Matthews, human ourang-outang, of New York city, I will do a high jump act over Niagara Falls on my way home. Twice before met this brash youth, and once took his measure to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. The last time he hypnotized the referee into believing that white was black, and I lost the decision. This time I will take no chances, and when I get through with Matthews he will resemble nothing so much as a well chopped Hamburger steak. Believe me, my friend. In Kansas I am known as sEstro, the Light of Truth So long until after Matthew's demise. James (Rube) Ferns. Buffalo, May IT."

 Waterbury won a sensational eleven inning game yesterday with Derby in the latter city and returned the com pliment of that other eleven inning game a week ago. Both Pitchers Clan cy and Mclean were in great form and the hits were few and far between. Clancy was hit little the hardest, but he held himself together at times when the chances looked bright for Derby to score and he is entitled to a great amount of credit for the victory. Der by scored in the first inning, one run, and Waterbury tied her in the second. From that inning to the end of the game 1t was a pretty battle and every body was on edge. In the eleventh in ming, Luskey met one of McLean's s curves square on the nose and it sailed over the center field fence for a home run which won the game. The score:

HART AND CREEDON.


 Marvin Hart recently consulted a fortune teller. ''The future is promis- ing, young man." said the old woman, as she beheld the pugilist's right palm ! You have been very successful in your undertakings, and your good luck will continue indefinitely. Your strength is remarkable and your determination to conquer is unusual. You have chosen calling for which you were intended, and the lines tell me that you will have no occasion to regret it's adoption.' v Hart took that as a prediction that he would win over Creedon Friday night. Creedon lost faith in fortune tellers after his battle with Fitzsimmons. At the same time he may cause Hart to doubt the word of the sorceress.
 Manchester, May 22.-About POO per sons from South Manchester and Rock vile attended the boxing contest given ill ApeTS opera house last evening by the Manchester Athletic club. In the preliminaries Dick Barry won on a foul from young Tanner, both of Man chester, in the second round of six round bout, and Marty Larson and Kid Curtin of Hartford fought a rattling six-round draw. The star bout was for fifteen rounds between William F. Madden of South Manchester and Kid Matthewson of Rockville John F. Willis of New Britain was referee. The result proved a big surprise, for after eight rounds of clean fighting Madden having the better of it, Mat theWsoh slipped down and Madden struck him while on his knees. Ref cree Willis awarded the decision to Matthewson. Madden's friends are greatly chagrined.

WITH THE WRESTLERS.
Harvey Parker's Manager Is After Wrestler Roeber Once. More.


 Nick Elliott of Harlem last night op posed Harvey Parker, the Little Demon" of Brockton, at a Bowery the ater, the style being Graeco-R Roman. The bout was exciting and lasted the limit, fifteen minutes. Elliott weighed about 1855 pounds, while Parker tipped the beam in the neighborhood of Al pounds. Elliott, despite his advantage in weight, was entirely on the defen- sive and in this way managed to stay. At the twelfth minute Parker secured a half-Nelson. He almost had his man down, but Elliott cleYerly resisted him. After the contest Parker agreed to meet Elliott again.
 John P. Dunn, manager for Harvey Parker, is somewhat perturbed over the recent Roebcr-Parker contest ill Boston. T am aware" said Dunn, "that many persons have ideas regard ing that bout not at all complimentary to either Roeber or Parker. insist that Parker wrestled honestly in that encounter. However, as do not ask any one to accept my word fer It, l suggest 2 bout in New York. where the people will be able to judge for themselves Let the bout be best two in three falls, the first Graeco- Roman, the second catch-as-catch-can, and the style of the third fall to be selected by the man who wins his fall in the quick est time. Any competent referee Will be acceptable. The money may be di- vided, 75 and 25, or winner take all, as Roeber may desire. Parker has not challenged the Turk, and will not do so. The Brockton man thinks he can defeat Roeber."
