 Look for the sign, NINTH MARK-DOWN SALE"

The fight by rounds was as follows:
 Round one: There was constant feinting. and the first blow was light tap from Maher. Then the men hugged each other. Sharkey landed two ill., effectual leads at the stomach, where. upon they had another clinch. They tapped each other lightly, neither mak- ing any special effort to parry or guard, and 1t was quite evident that they lid not intend to hurt each other or do anything to break the peace for which they had been bonded. It was so pal pably a fake that the crowd yell'd. There were loud cries of Take them off," and the disgust was very deep when the bell sounded for the end of the first round. Maher and Shark:y at that time were sparring in very amiable manner.
 Round two: There was the customs ary feinting. Maher led with his left and tried getting to close quarters. Sharkey pressed his left against Maher's face and then pushed him away. The sasaor made a terrific swing at Maher's body when the Irish champion was six feet away. They then hugged each other and slapped each other on the back. Sharkey hit Maher one smart slap on the face with his open glove and Maher gave the sailor q lefthander in the stomach which might have killed a fly Then they slapped each other for another minute and the round ended with them sparring at long range. The disgusted crowd hooted continuously between the second and third rounds.
 Round three: Sharkey made seyen- teen lefthand feints without striking q blow, then landed a lefthand swing on the back of Maher's belt After that he caught Maher around the neck with his glove and pushed him away. They continued to make false motions at each other and did a. great deal of pushing and hugging. It. was quite evident from their awkwardness that they had not rehearsed the route well in the dressing room.
 After about two minutes of feinting in the third round Referee Rocap waved them into their corners and made the announcement: "Gentlemen. l declare this bout no contest The contestants are not trying to box.'' The dubious Dave Sullivan seized the referee and attempted to have him change the decision, but without sue cess, Recap leaving the ring.
 Sharkey ran to the ringside and tried to make a speech, but the confusion was so great he could not be heard. The crowd was finally quieted and Sharkey made a few explanatory re- marks which were not well received and the fighters left the ring to the accompaniment of hoots and howls.

Erea spectncIea.

London has what is known as a spec tacle mission for those who cannot afford to buy spectacles for them selves. On certain days each month the applicants repair to the headquar- ters of the mission for their specta- cles. It is one of the most pathetic sights to see the hardworking seam stresses and such men as compositors, to whom good sight is especially es- sential and who have never been able to make much of success in life, se- cure the spectacles that will enable them to earn their livelihood in the future much easier than in the past. The mission performs it's work we'll, tests the eyes thoroughly, and care is taken that glasses of the exact strength are supplied

OWEN ZEIGLER WON.

Savannah, Ga, Jan 1s.-Owen Zeig- Ter, formerly of New York, and Billy Leach of Chicago, welterweights, met before the Savannah Athletic club last night for a twenty-five round contest. In the fourth round, after Leach had been knocked down three times, the referee stopped the fight and awarded the decision to Zeigler. Leach made an exceptionally plucky fight, but was outclassed to such an extent that he had absolutely no show to win. Au- nouncement was made that Zeigler had been matched to fight Jack Bennett of McKeesport, Pa. at an early date. The preliminary mill was much more sat- isfactory than the main contest. Kid Henning of Washington and Pete Man zie of Savannah went on for six rounds. It was a fast, clean and clever bout, in which NIanzie was awarded the decision on points.

The Irritation Excitement.

At least once in a decade. some extraor-
binary excitement or craze takes hold Of
the American people.
The building of transcontinental rail-
roads engrossed the public mind and ma
tional legislation during the sixties. and
the expose Of the Credit Mobilier and the
legislative struggle TO regain or recover
what was then thrown away by the gov
eminent occupied the seventies. The con-
gressional debates on the Thurman fund
ing bill'' in both house and senate are
among the most exciting discussions
known to our history. not to be entangled
with civil war issues. In the SOS we had
the decentralization Of silver and tariff dis
cussions, an excitement which gave the
county eight years of Clevelandism, d.
vided in half by wave of high-tariff sue
cess, which rose up N 1855. and went down
in 1892. in Mr.. Cleveland's reelection as
chief magistrate. The free silver craze
had its inning. and Mr.. PETER, with whis-
kers. and Mr.. Jerry Simpson, without
socks. moved down opposition and took
lofty seats I'm legislative halls. along with
some dozens of like faith and order. in
the early nineties
Next the craze for colonial expansion ar
rived. This was momentous excitement,
eliminating in the Cuban war. the annex
alton OF Hawaii. and the subjugation of
the Philippine Islands.
The expansion fad Is now on the wane.
so we may look out for something bet
ter or more properly something fresher.
Irrigation schemes are looming up In por-
tentious magnitude.
Egypt has in progress Of erection an i'm
mense dam across the Nile river. built
with English money and estimated to cost
twenty-five millions OF dollars. by which
the fertile valley of that great river will
be Systematically irrigated. and made to
produce three crops In one year OF some
plants. and cnsuring an enormous produc-
ton OF Egyptian cotton. When India,
Egypt and Africa engage in free produc-
ton OF our southern staple, we may ind It
cheaper 10 buy cotton cloth. than TO Guilt
vate the cotton plant for a money crop. as
Georgia Is now doing under great difTicul-
ties. Irrigation In Kansas and Colorado
Is as much a business at this time as the
mining OF coal or the running of steam
engines. in other parts OF the country l
confidently expect to see the next congress
appropriate vast sums OF money for irri-
cation In western states. The trend of
popular excitement Is I'm that direction.
Maybe the craze will come this way and
give a rest from public building eXtrava-
gance. which has made a heavy raid on
the treasury.

He Wants a Simple Gospel.

Your article I'm Atlanta Journal on
Modern Pulpit Methods strikes me as
very applicable to the times, when most
ministers are fiinging their heads at the
public instead Of their hearts.
1T is a rare thing TO hear a soul-moving
sermon as OF yore.
The gospel pure and simple is much out
of harmony with the times. yet many
yearn for IL.
The way you put things in that article
strikes TO the center. The illustration was
fine and fitted the subject admirably.
Yours. -
I feel sure I am not mistaken when
say that the modern pulpit has demon
strated fits inability TO meet present condi-
lions which will certainly give trouble in
the future, without radical change.
Twenty years ago there were sweeping
revivals all over the land. These were ear
marks Of goodness, so to speak, in the
community. Church members were some
what different in manners. customs and
amusements from worldlings. and crowds
fiocked to churches because they yearned
for the gospel.
Is IL the head that speaks now. instead
Of the heart, as.formerly?
There is a time and place for all sub
iects that are vital to human life and it's
surroundings. but the pulpit is the place
consecrated to sacred things. and should
be devoted TO them. We can hear many in
teresting ideas in lectures, can read them
in books can talk Of them in congenial
company, but the pulpit, II IL adheres TO its
charter. is a place to proclaim the mes
sage of salvation. and which should be
proclaimed in dignity, reverence and alb
solute impartiality.
God is not obliged to confine himself to
any creed or dogma. and he will. in his
own good time. raise up.a following that
will deliver the message in his own ac-
cepted Way.-

Was Made.

The late Queen OF England banked with
Coutts & Company for years. and the
'-pass-book" OF the queen was specially
prepared for her. inlaid with gold. bearing
the royal arms: and all the entries set
down in the handsOmest and ornamental

II was one mans work to attend to the
queens account, and it was also superin-
tended by the keeper Of the Privy
Purse"
Great deposits OF jewelry. family papers.
titles and other articles OF value were
made for safekeeping. There are said to
be hundreds Of large cases in the vaults.
and daily during the London season. ladies
take 9ut their jewelry TO be worn and re-
turned 10 the vaults later on.
There are clerks who do nothing else but
wait on these ladies.
How did the bank win fits proud success?
In the time OF George Ills reign. Burdett
Coutts was a very modest banker on the
Strand: but he made II a business TO go
into the city each day and dine where the
leading bankers took their midday meal
One day he heard one say 10 another.
that q certain lord had been refused a loan
OF EI0.oC0 that day at his bank. Next
morning COutts called on the lord and told
him ne would loan the money-on his lord
ships note OF hand. And the lordship did
take the money and opened an account at
the hank IL was a good investment. The
money was promptly paid and the lord
told OF the accommodating banker in ev-
cry company where money lOaning was
mentioned.
George II heard about Il. and he opened
an account with Coutts. who was invited
10 the palace as a guest.
Coutts' bank became the fashion. and
crowds went 10 that business house with
