QUICK SALE LITERATURE.
One Poet Who Finds That It Pays to Carry His Productions About
 with Him.

Demands for certain class of .ite erature are more frequent than peo- pie generally imagine" said poet, ac- cording to the New York Sun. q make it point to carry some of this class ready for the printer, in my pocket. for meet good many publishers and they usually want something right away.
 q sold two of these last week in an elevated train. One of my purchasers wanted verses for particular page.
 "I dug up six-verse production. As soon sss he had read it he said it was shy one verse; he must have seven.
 "Crowded as the car was, I ground out another stanza, writing it while stood. He paid me the cash for the whole lot before he left the ear.
 "There is no use talking. If you have the right brand, literature has quick commercial value"

MGoYERN IN SHAPE.

AIcGovern, red checked and appar- ently in boisterous health. walked into New York newspaper office yesterday afternoon. When asked as to his fail- ing physical powers. he replied: T don't think it will be necessary for a doctor to attend me in my corner on the day of the battle Sullivan may need q doctor after the bout is over. The statement that I have dropped to 122 pounds is wrong I weigh more at the present time than ever before in my life, the long rest and constant road work having built me up. I have frequently boxed since the operation on my nose. and without bad results. If ] have catarrh of the stomach it doesn't affect my appetite. I eat till I an ashamed to look the cook in the face. My defeat at Hartford was not due to bad conditions. but because I missed by m inch a swing that would have put Corbett out; and he landed one that did put me out. Sullivan's friends need not worry about my con- dition. I'll toe the mark when the gong sounds. and he will need all the good training he is getting." McGov- ern started last night for Cincinnati where his manager has arranged train ing quarters.

In the fifth Jackson foored Fisher with left swing on the head. and Fisher went to his corner groggy. Fisher came back strong in the sixth. but in the seventh Jackson began tattoo on Fishers body. and everyone saw the finish.

 Wednesday night Bannon had tooth knocked out at Worcester as he stood tending goal He didn't even call time, however, but spat out the tooth and kept on working.
 The incident of the night was the struggle between the crowd and Ref cree Tommy Connolly. The question was whether Connolly or the attend ance should referee the game.--Law- renee Telegram.
 The presentation to Roberts of q gold ring and pipe from Plymouth friends must make the former Ply mouth rusher feel little sorry that he switched from that team.-Brock- ton Enterprise.
 Mckay was engaged by Manager FIanagan to play this week With Lawrence. Mack thought afterwards it might jeopardize his chances of staying on the Portland pension list and refused to go to Lewiston.
 Whipple has been a good deal luck fer than Tommy Murphy was with Salem. Murphy is fully as good as his Successor. He can skate much bet ter than the former Lawrence player, but he hasn't got the same strong drive.-Lowell Mail.
 Lawrence released Whipp1e some time ago, and took Jason as his sue cessor Since the change, Lawrence has fallen off in percentage. WhipDle recently joined the Salem team. and now the tail-enders are playing a splendid game of polo.
 Plymouth is taking giant strides to- ward the bottom. and the end is not yet. Their precipitation was simul- taneous with the discharge of Mullen and the disappearance of Roberts. The latter player should be re-engaged if the Pilgrims desire to pick up the shattered fragments of their former glory. and John Roberts should be ex- lied from the American association Lowell Mail.

Improve the Grounds.
 The board of directors of the City Amateur Baseball league held a meet James Freney called the meeting to order. There were present Joseph Reid, Jeffersons; James Thompson, Washington Hill A. C.; Michael Mad den, Brooklyn A. O.; Edward Dun phy, st Thomas Cadets A. A.; Marsln Mcdonald, Pastime A. O.; Michael McKinnerney, St Joseph T. A. society Shortly after the opening of the meet ing President Freney retired from the chair and stated his place on the boa1'l of directors would be filled during tue coming season by Michael McKinner- ney, the new manager of the St Jo- seph's. He made a short speech oil retiring. The directors passed d vote of thanks for the efficient manner iD which President Freney had officiated at the meetings. Michael Mckinncr- ney was then elected temporary chair man. The election of permanent or ficers was deferred until the next meeting. Several managers think that an outsider should be appointed chair man of the board, and the name of rhe retiring chairman was mentioned i'll this connection. Action on this mat ter however, was postponed until the next meeting. :The clubs intend to ask the public to contribute some money towards defraying the expenses of the league during the coming season; to assist the clubs in purchasing lln;- forms, in roping off the field and i'll doing other work The expenses of the clubs were very high last year and there were no sources of revenne ex- cept the clubs and their managers. Good baseball was furnished and the people enjoyed it. They should be glad to contribute small sum to the league. A subscription list will soon be opened at one of the local news paper offices and the public will have an opportunity of showing it's apprcci. ation of good sport. The Traction com pany should al1ove all others contrib ute towards this fund. as it makes just little money from these Sunday games. An effort will be made to cb- tain Browns meadows as ballground again this season. The different man. agers will take care that no unneces. sary noise is made, as was last sea son. An application from the SoIth End A. C., asking for admission n.to the league, was tabled until the next meeting. The following committees were appointed:
 Finance. Managers Dunphy and Me Donald: umpires, Managers Madden and Thompson: grounds. Mana:ers Reid and Kennedy Before :etiIina from the chair, President Freney sub
 mllted code of rules for the consid eration of the directors. Those ri1es will be considered at the next meeting

ICE CAUSED HAVOC,
Three States Suffer Heavily
 From Sleetstorm.
LOSS LIKELY TO REACH MILLIONS.
Tennessee, Arlxnnsas nnd Mississippi Slowly Recovering From Effects of onc of tle Worst visita-
 tionR Ln Yenzs.


 MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 1.-The weather of the present week has brought disaster to all the small and many larger towns and villages in the states of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mis- sissippi. It is difficult to estimate the amount Of damage. It is known that at Little Rock, Ark, alone the damage amounts to half million dollars, and the footings altogether, it is believed, will run up several millions.
 Business has been at standstill in many towns. In addition to stocks of goods being ruined the streets and highways are blocked by broken tele- graph and telephone poles, twisted wires, the trunks and limbs Of trees and other debris.
 The damage to stocks of goods is due 10 the tremendous weight of accumu- lated ice and sleet and to tue insufi- ciency of roofs to sustain such loads. Inhabitants of the smaller towns have been seriously disconnected by the in- terruption of wire service by telephone and telegraph. Tn the country the losses have been heavy. Stock has suffered, Uuti III SOIuG SScilOIiS luG W nSal cIOp IS reported to be ruined.
 Such a siege Of sleet and cold rain is altogether unprecedented. In some places the ground has been covered with ice to depth of six inches.
 Tn central and western Tennessee the damage to houses and stocks Of goods has been enormous. Reports from Paris Dresden Mckenzie, Jackson. Huntington and Union City state that the storm of sleet and rain has been unprecedented in those sections. Mis- sissippi has suffered severely, the peo- pie being wholly unprepared to pro- tect themselves from the unusual con- ditions now prevailing.
 Tn Arkansas the storm played fearful havoc to houses and other property.
 Telegraph and telephone wires are down in every direction, and it will take several days before the extent of the damage will be known

BROAD DEFEATS SULLIVAN.

Chicago. Feb 1.-Kid Broad, the Cleveland featherweight. won from Tommy Sullivan of Brooklyn in a six round bout before the Illinois A. C.. last night. It was speedy. vicious mill from start to finish, neither man being particular as to what tactics ne employed so long as he managed 10 get past his opponents guard. Most of the fighting was at short range. Honors were even during the early stages. Sullivan proved the cleverer. and his ehoping lefts sent Broad's head back repeatedly. In the fifth the Kid sent Tommy down for the count of nine. Sullivan was up and fighting strong at the end of the sixth.

 .-Mill- Hear Manufacturer.


 New York, Feb 1.-Commiss.oner Partridge has issued general order to the police department abol,shing the use of the new patent button which Commissioner Murphy adopted late in his administration. By tll- new order. the old button, which had given satisfaction for a number of years, was to have come into use again.
 Commissioner Partridge said later ill tue day that he had decided to hold back the button order in order to give the manufacturer of the Murphy but ton chance for hearing.
 The commissioner said that when he first decided to send out the or1er he had been informed that. the manufac- turer of the button had no contract with tha police department, but that he had learned since that there was such a contract
 ''I have no doubt" said the commis- sioner. "tliat can break that contract, but the concern has asked for hear ing, and thought it was only just to give them one"

 This indebtedness the witness was forced to admit would have been can celed if the 1900 will were probated. AS the witness made this statement Patrick leaned forward eagerly in his chair, a smile showed upon his face, and he slapped EIr. House enthusiastic ally upon the back.
 Under MT. Houses skillful question ing the witness also admitted that by the 1896 will he was bequeathed the indebtedness of $24, coo and that he and nine other heirs had signed an agree ment with the trustees of the Rice in- stitute whereby the heirs would get 5000 altogether if the 1866 will were probated.

Prosperous GeoFgfa Car COmpnny.
 SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 1.-During the past month the Georgia and Caro- lima Manufacturing company has book ed orders for more than 1,500 new cars to be delivered at the earliest practica- ble time. Among the orders are those of the Mexican National railway for 12DO cars, the Southern railway for 130 cars and the Georgetown and Western railroad for fifty cars. The works are running both night and day on the orders booked.

The buttons were being made at the Waterbury Button Go and something like S4,000 worth have already been finished and accepted by the police de- pertinent. While the department may be able to break the contract, still 1t is thought that some settlement will be reached satisfactory to both parties. A company that takes an order of that kind would lose heavily in case the work should be stopped before it had been anticipated. The making of dies and other things incident to a contract of that nature means considerable ex- pense and it seems nothing more than reasonable that the company would want to be heard in the premises.

 Swanson said yesterday morning be- fore he left Waterbury for New Brit ain that he would like to meet Kelly once more under the same conditions as before.
