AMATEUR TEAM FOR BUTTE.
A Strong Aggregation of Base Bail
Tossers ssd-Weu Known
Players Who Will be Seen.

Butte will be without a professional
base ball team this season and in fact
the state will be without professional
league. The local ball club of last sea-
son was not an unqualified success and

plete failure there appears to be no en-
thusiastic now, who are willing to pro-
mote a league for the coming season.
There is a probability that Butte will
have a strong amateur team. The indi-

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Denver, April 27.-The much heralded
fight between Abe Ate!l of San Fran
cisco and Young Cassidy, of Colorado
Springs, was pulled off here last night
before one of the largest crowds that
has for some time packed the Colorado
Athletic club. The go was anything but
what the sports wanted, as Referee
English found it necessary to stop the
mill in the second round and declare
Atell the winner. The sports had hoped
for more evenly matched fight.
Atell from the call of time. had every
thing his own way and he made Cassidy
look like chopping block. Twice he
sent Cassidy to the floor in the second
round and it was because of the ter
rife punishment that the Californian
was administering that English sent the
men to their corners, thus saving Cas-
sidy from a complete knockout.
Spider" Kelly found Sam Bolin, color
ed, an easy proposition. He went after
the darkey, hammer and tongs. and gave
him a severe drubbing which he cut Off
abruptly in the third round by knocking
out his dusky opponent
Billy Stiff and Jack Johnson, colored

rounds to a draw.

FUTURE OF KINLEY MACK.
Trainer of Last Seasons Brooklyn and
Suburban Winner Says Horse Will

Trainer Peter WINNER, who has the
care of Kinley Mack, last years Brook
Ign and Suburban winner predicts that
the horse will duplicate last seasons
great performance and capture both the
big handicaps this year. Though conf
dent, WINNER is not at all boastful, and
does not pretend to ignore several rivals
OF Kinley Mack.
" 7 guess they are as good as they are
said to be- he says, but Kinley Mack
will be in real good form. and if he is
beaten it will be because the winner was
better"
The old black mare Imp. loved by all
racegoers. will not face a starter until
the season is we'll under way. When she
does it will be when WINNER feels that
she can win. She is not likely to start
before the Saratoga meeting, though she
may be sent to the post during the
Brooklyn or Brighton meeting.
1t is known that Mr. Harness, the own
err of the famous mare, is anxious to put
her through her last season of racing
with as near an unbroken string of VIC
tories as her admirers could wish for.

The Origin Of Buck Beer Involves the Story

windows, and a stand had been erected,
in which the ladies of the court were
seated to witness the outcome; beau
tiful tapestries and bunting completely
covered the gallery. A band was dis
coursing martial airs. and the scene was
one of great gayety.
suddenly the music stopped and all
was quiet the unique contest was about
to begin. The keg of Brunswick beer
and that Of Munich were placed side by
side: the taDs We're driven and the
bumpers filed. The hrewmaster drank
the Brunswick beer and the knight par

The brewmaster then handed one to

Many have often wondered where the
term book beer originated ana the
meaning of the same. The records of
the city of Munich, Bavaria, contain the
following explanation of the subject:

company as Brunswick knight. and

the finest old beer from the cellars of the
Munich court brewery. The knight took
a deep drausht of the beer and then, re-
placing the bumper on the table, SUR
ringly remarked: Bah! That stuff is
no better than brown vinegar''
Arraigned the Brewmaster.
At this the two noblemen became high
ly enraged and ordered the brewmaster
to come before them forthwith. They
berated him tiercely for having set be-
fore them beer. which he considered
his best. but which was held to be SO
inferior ythe knight from brunswick.
Thereupon the brewmaster, in mingled
tones of humiliation and rage turned
toward the knight, and cried out in a
loud tone: IF, at the expiration OF one
year fro mthis day you will again come
to Munich and bring along key OF your
beer l will produce a beer that IN point
of quality will surely surpass yours.
Should l fail in this your Grace may
ride rae out of the city seated back

erty and proclaim me the worst brew
master in the realm" Hearing this the
Brunswicker laughed loud and long, and
readily acqueisced to appear at the time
mentioned and, as an indication OF his
good faith, he deposited a forfeit Of POO

Mrs. Nations antics have caused
so much destruction OF valuable
property as to give rise to ques-
tions of responsibility for the dam
ages. Inquiry among Kansas
congressman has developed the
following situation:
According to Kansas law the
State does not recognize any prop
erty IN articles that are used IN
connection with the sale of intoxi-
cants, so, as long as Mrs. Nation
smashes bottles and glasses and
knocks in the heads OF whisky
barrels, she is violating no statute.
Another peculiar feature of the
situation is that the saloonkeepers
DO not dare to have her arrested on
a charge OF destroying property,
for fear the courts will declare that
there is no property in the eyes of
the law in the articles demolished.
That would only emphasize to the
toughs their absolute freedom to
smash things in saloon whenever
The notion strikes them. The
Kan nsas prohibitorY law not only
declares that saloons are a public
nuisance, but authorizes private
citizens, as we'll as sheriffs and con.
stables, to al0ate those nuisances.
from this It will be seen that
the saloon keepers have little else
TO 20 than grin and bear il. The
law is, however, to be tested, one
OF the raided proprietors having
decided to take the matter into
court.
The Temperance Committees OF
both branches Of the Kansas Leg |

Cuna and other Republics.

OunA ana OAnet EsopupAACSs
The people to whom the ques
ton whether it is advisable for US
to lie out OF our promises to Cuba
is a profoundly complicated prob
lem are invited to consider certain
facts, says the New York TOAynaL.
We have permitted and encour-
aged the establishment OF eighteen
republics in America during the
past century. In no case did we
make any attempt to interfere with
the absolute independence of the
government so established.
The only instance in which it
has been proposed that we should
limit the sovereignty of such re-
public has been the only one in
which we have solemnlV bound
ourselves not to do so.
Cuba is an island, eighty miles
away from the nearest point OF the
Unied States.
Mexico is part of our own con-
tinent, and for 6fteen hundred
miles it is separated from the
United States by nothing but an
imaginary line.
There are towns on the border
in which you can sleep with one
lung in Mexico and the other in
the United States.
II it is essential to our interests
to maintain a protectorate over
Cuba, how much more essential is
it to maintain a protectorate over
Mexico.
AS a matter Of fact we do exert
moral protectorate over Mexico.
France did not understand that
when she tried to set up Maximl-
ian, but all the world understands
it now. No European power is
ever going to use another batch OF
Jecker bonds as a pretext for es-
tablishing an empire in Mexico.
But there is no clause Of the
Mexican Constitution recognizing
any dependence, direct or indi-
rect, upon the United States.
Mexico stands before the world
sovereign nation. Our protecto-
rate is purely matter Of unwritten
undt rstanding. but it is sufficient.
A similar understanding will be
ample in the case OF Cuba. The
Monroe Doctrine has never been
embodied in a constitution or a
treaty, but it is broad enough to
cover Cuba as well as the eighteen
other republics ofthis hemisphere.
1t did not cost US a shot to r1ove
the French troops out OF Mexico.
nor will it cost a shot to keep other
foreign troops from landing on the
soil Of free and independent
Cuba.
And while we are discussing the
question whether we shall adopt
lying as national policy or not,
let US at least refrain from the
queer complaint that gratitude"
requires the Cubans to put some
recognition OF our services into
their constitution. II we fought
to make Cuba an American Prov
ince the Cubans have nothing to
be grateful for. II we fought to
make the island free republic,
the constitution OF that republic is
not the place for its people to show
their gratitude. At least, not un-
less we can find a reference to the
services Of France in The Constitu-
tion OF the United States.

creation Of "Oliver Goldsmith" to the
Columbia Theatre next week. Mr..
Robson played a very successful en-

the return engagement will be very well
patronized by those theatre goers who
will always literally support anything
known in advance to be meritorious in
both lines and acting. There are not

that of Stuart Robson. His half century
