RICH 6 POOR
EAlL5lLMlz

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old andyoung rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS.
Several Good Bouts Around the
 Country Last Night.

Dan Creedon Is Put Out by Marvin
 Hart After Vicious Fight-Kid
 Carter Knocks Out Pat Raedy- Mat
 ty Matthews Put to Sleep by Ferns
 Jack O'Brien Is Aggressive Harry
 Harris Had Several Affections.
 Louisville. Ky, May 25.-Marvin Hart of Louisville last night knocked out Dan Creedon of Australia before the Southern A. O., in the sixth round of what was to have been a twenty five round bout. The contest was des- perate and bloody from the start. Hart, the plumber-pugilist, had won fifteen straight victories, and Creedon, owing to his greatly improved condi- ton of late, was conceded to be most dangerous proposition. Hart weighed in at ITO pounds and Creedon one pound less. From the opening gong the men went at it like bulldogs, pounding right and left hooks to the spot that generally mean knockout. Hart was the aggressor, and in the second round Creedon's left eye was closed. Hart played hard after this spot, while Dan cautiously waited for a decisive blow. In thes fourth round they exchanged vicious rights ana le1ts to the face and wind, and both were very groggy. Dan was given his first setback in the third, when left hook sent him to the floor for the count of eight. He recovered quickly, but when the fourth was over his. own efforts for knockout and Hart's terrible swings to the Australians jaw and batterer eye left him unable to do mucn. Tn the fifth the gong saved Creedon. though he managed to get ill a few hard ones. Hart appeared fresh and strong, and shortly afteB the beginning of the sixth he landed atleft hook to the chin and Dan was out. As he lay under the ropes Dave, Sullivan, one of his seconds, began sprinkling water over him before ten of, the count had been reached. Like a flash some one struck Sullivan in the head, and a rough and tumble fight started, with half a dozen rubbers,J J bottle-holders and packers in the mix-up. The police with clubs finally restored order. In the ten-round preliminary "Freckles' O'Brien of New Orleans gained the de- cision over Kid Hennessy of Louisville in the third round. Before the main bout Joe Choynski challenged the win ner, the contest to take place in from two to four weeks time on any terms.

He had several lucrative engagements booked at London and Paris music halls. This is the second death which has occurred in the Harris family since Harry's departure for the other side, the first being that of his broth CT, Sammy, who died from kidney trou- ble shortly after his brother left for England. In letter recently written to friend Harris stated that he is ready to meet any one in America at 122 pounds ringside. He is especially anxious to make a match with Benny Yanger at that weight, and will meet the "Slasher' on winner-take-all basis if the latter agrees to make the match. Harris has put on weight since his trip abroad and says he will be strong at the 122-pound mark 7s

MATTHEWS PUT OUT.

Toronto, May 25.- About 2,O0O per- sons were present last night when Matty Matthews met Jim Ferns, the Kansas Rube,'' in a twenty-round go for the welterweight championship of the world. There were two prelimin- aries, which were refereed by John Bennett. Matthews was willing to have Bennett as referee, but Ferns ob- jected. Marvin Smith of Buffalo was decided on by both men. A large dele gation of Buffalo men were at the ring side, and they backed Ferns. Both men weighed in at 142 pounds. Mat thews seemed triie overtrained, while Ferns was in fine condition. Ferns did most of the leading, but Matthews put up superb defense. Honors were fairly even for the first two or three rounds. but after that Ferns had the best of it. A stiff left handed punch on the jaw put Mat thews out in the tenth round.

 That Luskey is hummer when it is necessary to land on the sphere. That three bagger broke the hearts of the Norwich players in the third inning.
 When such men as Tighe, Woodruff and Harrington fail to get a hit the pitcher must be doing something and that Is just what Waller was doing yesterday.

In proof of It we tell what those who have used it say.
 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. Ic8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn, says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, can with confidence recommend Doan' s Ointment. I was for long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none Aof the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until I procured Doan's s Ointment at a Drug Store and applied 1t. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market.
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.
