band 'sBilP' Barbour, a westerner who had fought his way against the good. bad and indifferent to a top place in Colorado by sheer relentlessness.
 With a feeling that she was starting for Lha ssa, Miss Kirk left for Colorado o ten weeks. ago to visit Mrs. Margaret Zimmerman, a school friend. When she got there she met good-looking fellow, ''but so hearty" He was Bar bour, and he immediately got up a coyote hunt. Miss Kirk was in at the death, and Barbour. smitten by her grace and pluck, proposed. She won deringly refused.
 Then he took her down into his coal mine, roo feet below ground. Bats Tapped their faces and water Tapped their shoes. He proposed again. She hesitated-and refused,
 He took her out hunting, and their party respectfully aroused snarling mountain lion. The lion charged, but Miss Kirk and Barbour raised thei- rifles at the same time, aimed at the same time and fired at the same time. The lion dropped dead, both his fore shoulders broken. Then Bill was ac- cepted

Potafoen and Unncer.

The registrar general for Ireland says that nearly 20 per cent. of the people of the Emerald isle die of old age. There are, he says, PIP Irish men and women now living over 100 years old, proportion far above the aver age of most nations. In speaking of the prevalence of cancer in Ireland the report notes the evidence that the most prosperous, the most populous and least Celtic counties suffer most from this dread disease, while those sections where the Celtic race is purest and buttermilk, meal and potato diet is most prevalent are most exempt from cancer. It would be a curious thing were it established, not only, as at present seriously suggested, that the humble potato is counter-active to cancer, because there existed for three centuries in several European countries a most malicious prejudice against the wholesome tuber-Detroit Free Press.

Presidents Wife Hastems to the Bed-
 side of Her Sick Boy.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Mrs. Roose- welt, the wife of the president, left Washington last evening for Groton, Mass, where their son, Theodore, IT,, is lying seriously i'll of pneumonia. She travelled in a drawing room car on the regular train of the Pennsylvania road which goes through to Boston without change, arriving there this morning at o'clock. From Boston the first available train will reach Gro ton at 10:33 a. m. Mrs. Roosevelt is accompanied only by a maid.
 The first information to reach the president and Mrs. Roosevelt of the Illness of their son was received at the White House by telegraph at 9:20 yes terday morning. The message was signed by the president of the college where the young man is a pupil and stated in effect that slight indisposi- ton had developed into an acute and sharp attack of pneumonia and that he was seriously ill. Another message received during the cabinet meeting stated that the young mans tempera- ture was 104.
 Arrangements were at once set on foot for Mrs. Roosevelt's departure for Groton, and since the first intelligence was received the president has been in almost constant communication by tel ephone and telegraph with the college faculty. According to these fr&quent reports, the sons condition remained almost unchanged yesterday. There is no attempt to minimize the danger of an acute attack of pneumonia, and the president and Mrs. Roosevelt are well aware that the young mans con dition is serious. Everything possible is being done for him, and the best physicians and nurses are in constant attendance

Exposition Plans Changed

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--The illness of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has chang ed very greatly the plans of the presi- dent for his trip to Charleston to visit the exposition there. The trip possibly may have to be abandoned altogether, but the present purpose is to make a flying visit to the exposition and to re- turn immediately after the most inn portant functions in which it has been arranged the presidential party should participate. No ladies will accompany the presidential party owing to the ab- sence of Mrs. Roosevelt and the hur- rfed nature of the modified arrange mnnfS

 Iron Hard to Get.


 Iron Hard to Get.
 NEW YORK, Feb. SIR. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Final returns of commercial failures during January exhibit an exception ally large number of insolyencies and also an unusual amount of defaulted liabilities. In manufacturing lines there were 264 failiros, involving $6,- 3OS,94S, an increase of 1,60I, ,964 over the liabilities last year. Defaulting traders numbered 1,120, with liabilities of $7,116.972, an increase of lI2 in number and S1 ,S05. .16S in amount Mis- cellaneous failures r.ere 50 in number and $So6, 551 i'll liabilities. exceeding January, 1901, by ten in number, but showing d decrease of $321, 442 in de faulted liabilities.
 Interruption to railway traffic and outdoor work by severe storms was the only unfayorable factor in the business situation during the past week, while manufacturing activity increased, and distribution through re- tail channels was undiminiShed. Re ports from the west are especially en- coura ging, but a few southern points are slow to exhibit improvement. Rail- way earnings continue their monoto- nous record of increase.
 Activity in general at shoe shops, par ticularly at the west, and New England factories are shipping at the rate of 9 per cent more than. last year.
 Famine conditions exist in the mar kct for pig iron. It is doubtful whether there was ever time in the history of the nation when this metal was so scarce. Considering the fact that pro- duction during 1901 was far beyond all previous records, the present shortage gives indisputable evidence of the un- precedented rate at which the mills have been consuming.
 Railways. are so urgent for supplies that an order for rails may go abroad. Tn the light of these reports it is not surprising that exports of iron and steel fall off and foreign contracts receive scanty attention.
 Compared with the cratic course of the cereals during the preceding month or two, produce markets have been quiet this week. Exporters of wheat evince disposition 10 wait for easier terms, but shipments on old orders were 4,127, 1896 bushels against 4,3So,- o91 year ago.

How Hill Barbour, as Colorado Miner, Won the Love of 8 Tempered

Mrs. William Mckay Barbour was born in the luxury surrounding allrich New York families, and was brought up in a refinement which might be called effete west of the Alleghanies. At the home of her millionaire father, Hartford B.iKirk, in her childhood, she was brought up as fairy book princess, who learns nothing of the selfshness, sordidness and sin of the world with out
 Yet this girl, so delicately reared that she never felt the breath of the world'n wind in all her life, among all the men she knew selected a her hus-

Hubby Made n Hasty Exit.

A Philadelphia man thought he would be more successful than his wife in securing servants. So he cut out number of advertisements from the Situation wanted' column of a newspaper, and started out in cab to visit the various addresses. The first place he stopped at was in front of little house in narrow street, from which cook had advertised. He saw her and was favorably impressed. "I am looking for good cook" he said. "Sure, an don't Oi know it" ex- claimed the cook "Oi only left your house yestiddayl" He made hasty and undignifed retreat, and decided to allow his wife to continue in her direction of the household affairs.

cause of Much Sickness.
 GROTON, Mass, Feb. S.-The condi- ton Of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of President Roosevelt and a student at Groton school, who is ill of pneumonia, is reported .'as comfortable as could be expected" These who are in attend ance at the lads bedside decline to give anything more definite. It is un- derstood at the school, however, that the patient shows some improvement.
 The school Is new practically desert ed, for nearly all of the 16o students have departed for their homes.
 Mrs. Roosevelt arrived here from Washington via Boston on the first morning train. Arrangements had been made to meet her at the station, the school being about half mile distant
 From sources outside the school it was learned that the presidents son caught cold day or two ago. and the trouble prove2 stubborn. Thursday evening the symptoms grew more seri- ous, and at midnight Dr. w. B. War ren, the school physician, was called. Remedies were prescribed at once, and yesterday morning the patient was no
 
 worse, and it was hoped that aid had been given in time to check the prog ress of the disease. President Roose- welt was informed of the situation, and it was suggested that the boys mother should come to Groton. This course was decided upon.
 An attempt was made to induce President Peabody to talk about the case, but his refusal was as persistent as it had been previously. He did say, however, that besides abiding by the rules of the school in refusing to give out news he was acting in accordance with the expressed wish of President Roosevelt.
 There has been great deal of illness at the school of late. There are several other cases of pneumonia besides that of young Roosevelt, and the school has been closed for two weeks on account of the prevailing sickness. The boys have been in the habit of running about bareheaded all winter. This is thought to account for some of the se- rious colds.

TIM KEARNs QUIT.

Baltimore, Feb S.-Herman Miller of this city last night got the decision over Tim Kearns of Boston in the four feenth round of what was scheduled to be a twenty-round contest before the Eureka Athletic club. It was one of the fastest fights ever seen here. Both men fought for all they were worth from the start until the fourteenth round, when Kearns quit. stating that he had hurt his arm. The local boy had him whipped, however, and would in all probability have put him out had he not stopped. Miller did most of the forcing, but Kearns was game to the core and always came back strong.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb 8.-Al Weinig of Buffalo last night won his third sue cessiye fight before the Vapor City A. C., when, in the eleventh round. he completely knocked out Dick O'Brien of Chicago. In the early rounds Wei mig made but few leads, coItenting himself with blocking, side-stepping and ducking O'Brien's vicious swings, and by his clever foot work made the Chicago fighters efforts look very am ateurish- When. in the eighth round, O'Brien began to tire badly, Weinig went after his man and gave him a severe drubbing. O'Brien was almost knocked out in the tenth round, but hung onto Weinig until the gong sounded

MARTIN FLAHERrY WON.

Boston, Feb S.-Martin Flaherty of Lowell defeated Tommy Moran of Brooklyn in the last round of their bout before the Criterion club here last night Moran was all but out when his seconds threw up the sponge. After a series of mix-ups in that round Fla herty placed a terrific right on the Brooklyn mans jaw, the latter holding on to the ropes to prevent falling to the floor. Flaherty went after his man to finish him, not witnessing the action of his opponents seconds, but the referee pulled him away. The men were to have gone ten rounds. The weights were not announced, but Moran lowered over Flaherty and weighed considerably more From the sound of the bell the men never let up and every device, fair or foul, was em- ployed to land a punch. Time and again Referee Buckley warned the men that he would disqualify them for fouling. but it had little effect. Tn the second round laherty placed a stiff right on Moran's cheek bone, cutting gash From that on Moran hugged his man and the next three rounds looked more like a wrestling match than boxing bout both men being thrown to the floor q number of times. In the sixth and seventh rounds Fla herty hammered his man all over the ring. The gong saved Moran from being knocked out in the seventh. Flaherty kept after his opponent in the eighth, but was unable to put him down. After two minutes fighting in the tenth Flaherty landed his right with terrific force on the point of Moran's jaw. The latter fell on the ropes and held on. half dazed. His seconds saw it was useless to continue and gave it up.

 ''Oh, Mirandy, you might have known you could have trusted mel An to think thet you've been wantin', and the Corners all lookin' to one side, 'cause it was said you was doin' your marSetin' down to Pine Hill"
 A faint smile passed over Miranda's wan face as she thought of the suc- cess of her stratagem.
 "Them boxes-I got at Pine Hill an filed them with stones-'cause-I didn't want any one to s'picion-how that-my money was gone. I.thought they'd guess-that Arthur-got it. an you see, Martha-I'd never had-a lover before-an' couldn't bear-''
 Miranda rallied under careful treat ment: but her hold on life was gone, and when the wild cherry was in blos- som the end came.
 There was much speculation as to what had become of her fortune, but whether it's original amount had been exaggerated, or Mirandy had spent, lent, or given it away, was never known.

 Cincinnati. Feb S.-The spectators that watched Terry McGoyern traln yesterday were given surprise Ill the form of a lively four-round bout pc tween the little whirlwind and ms brother, Hughey.
 Several hundred people came out 10 get a sight of the eX-champlon anu Manager Harris was compelled to turn over half of them away, as he coulu not find room for all of them in the gymnasium. After punching the bag McGoyern. put on the gloves with ms brother. During the first round they simply spared The bout grew warm CT as it progressed and at the end or fhe second round both were shooting right and left jabs into each other. McGovern saw that his brother was feeling good and told Harris that he was going in to try him out in the re maining two rounds. By accident Me Govern landed q hard one on his brothers left ear and opened up split that was just healing. The youngster was game, however, and as antagonistic as his brother, and tried to keep on the aggressive until things became too warm for him and he was kept busy protecting himself.
 Manager Harris is now completing arrangements to have Hughey McGov- ern go on in Chicago next Friday night in a preliminary bout. He will leave this city with him Thursday morning and it is probable that he will be matched with Ching Fong, the Chinese pugilist.
