BOXING rs. PRIZE FIGHTING.
The occupation of prize fighter has not
been an especially profitable or popular
one in the United States for the past
conduct of those who have followed the
calling. They have abused the public
confidence, and have in many cases
shown themselves to be unredeemed
blackguards. There is hardly a man who
has appeared in the roped arena since the
withdrawal of John L. Sullivan who has
not been either charged with or proven
guilty of having played dirt on the pub
lie. Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Mccoy
the men who have had the stage to
themselves in greatest measure since Sui
livan's day-have proven themselves
something else besides boxers, and some
thing at that not quite so reputable.
Boxing is a sport The public likes to
see it, and to read about it. AS long
as either or both men are not made to
play the role of chopping block such con-
tests are far less productive of the brute
in human nature than is football playing.
matches, that associate with the boxers,
that bet ON the game and that generally
identify themselves with the pursuit are
mostly disreputable with the result that
the decent members of society have little
of liberation to extend to it.
T h G. l O b e would be glad to see the
coming contest between Jeffries and
Rubin take place, under such regula-
tions, precautions and assurances as
of the men, and would prevent serious
injury to either of the contestants.
1t is little more than mere affectation
which leads either newspapers or indi-
viduals to condemn boxing contests and
at the same time learn and make known
the details of such contests when they
against the prize fighting practice, and
The Glob e has no desire to quarrel
with the prevailing feeling. But for a
fair, stand-up fight, between two skilled
BOXERS trained to "a condition of physical
perfection, and trying their resources of
skill, agility, pluck and endurance on
each others body. The Globe has no
feeling save one of admiration.

Gen. chaffee has given it as his
opinion, that for at least five years the

sum. wouldn't it be better policy to try

TWILIGHT ON THE RIVER.

Mid hazy light
Of coming night,
Our music but the ripplingNof the stream,
With gentle breeze
To fan the trees,
We drift along in pleasant twilight
dream.
The rushes bend
And, mingling, blend
Then signs with river mowers that gently
weep;
The waters edge
Is lined with sedge
That, wrapped in ripping wavelets, falls
asleep.
The wind is dead,
And every head
Of tree and flower is stiiied at his de-
cease.
On rivers breast
We sing to rest
In 1ull OF calm security anu peace.
The sky is gray,
But, far away,
The newborn moon peers through tiny
rift:
A. ray of light
Proclaim5 the night
Yet still We Iinger on and drift. and drift.

is every reason to believe that the court,

Dick, Grosvenor and Mckinley De-
termine Whom Ohio Republicans
Shall Nominate.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Senator
Hanna, Representative Grosvenor and
Representative Dick of Ohio had a very
extended conference with the presi-
dent. They were closeted with him
for almost two hours. Senator For
aker called during the progress of the
conference but remained only a short
time. The Importance of the consul
tation may be Judged by the fact that
Secretaries Root and Gage, who had
business with President Mckinley, af-
ter waiting for some time. returned
to their respective departments. The
consultation was largely confined to
the political situation in Ohio.
1t was decided that Governor Nash
and most of the present Ohio state
ticket should be re-nominated this
autumn; also that Senator Foraker
should be Endorsed by the state con-
vention for reelection.

LONDON, March 20.-At st. James
Palace this afternoon King Edward,
wearing a field marshaps uniform, re-
ceived between forty and fifty deputa-
lions from various parts of the king
dom bearing addresses of coincidence
and congratulation.
The Duke of Connaught presented
the Free Masons' address. The king,
in reply, expressed his great regret
at re%linquishing the grand mastership
and promised, as protector, to con-
tinue watching over their interests
and to rejoice over their prosperity and
growth.
King Edward is becoming more and
more exacting concerning the formali-
ties on these occasions. A few hours
before the reception of a recent depu-
tation his majesty asked the lord
chamberlain what dress they would
wear. "Frock coats, your majesty
replied the lord chamberlain.
For the last time, then" said King
Edward, Gin the future uniform or
court dress must be worn. This is not

LYING BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH
FROM A SELF-INFLICTED
WOUND.

Special to the Register.
CLEVELAND, o., March 20.-Desert-
ed on the eve of the day set for her
wedding, Bertha Benin, aged II, tried
to take her life this evening in a little
room above a saloon at 533 Erie street.
The girls brief career has been one
OF tragedy and sorrow. Early in her
life her father and a comrade planned
the nuptials of Bertha and the COM
rade's son, Roy Beemer. Time passed
and the Beemers moved to Maryland.
Bertha's mother died. Motherless the
girl strayed into the hayward paths.
Her actions drove the father insane
and he shot himself four years ago.
Clara, a married sister, pleaded with
Bertha but the latter was headstrong.
Finally she was sent to the home Of
the Good Shepherd. One morning,
about eighteen months ago, she jumped
from a fourth story window of the in
stitution, breaking both her legs and
arms. After lowering between life and
death for weeks she recovered and went
to live with her sister at 46 Weakening
street.
Several weeks ago Beemer came to
Cleveland from his Maryland home ex-
pecting to make Bertha his bride. He
brought with him a handsome engage
ment ring which he presented to his in
tended bride. They quarreled over
something and Bertha, in a fit of anger,
went to live at the place on Erie street.
There was a reconciliation, but later
Beemer, hearing of the episode at the
home of the Good Shepherd, disappear
ed. At 6 p. m Tuesday Bertha called
at her sisters home. Her ring was
gone. Where is it," asked Clara. Il
pawned it to buy this" said the girl, as
she drew a revolver from beneath her
shawl. "Ill come tomorrow" she con-
tinued, "Ibut I will be in a box.
An hour later ]. c. Starr, keeper OF
the Erie street saloon, heard the re-
port of a revolver. Rushing up stairs
to Bertha Behm's room he found the
girl gasping on the bed. There was a
bullet wound in her right breast. A
smoking revolver lay by her side. She
was taken to Charity Hospital. Her
condition Is p~recarious.
