Fort Erie. Ont. September 15.-Tom- ny Ryan may be the veteran of the middle weights in the prize ring, but le is still far from being a back mum per. Tonight in the arena at Fort Erie. q a vicious, bruising fight, he knocked ut Kid" Carter of Brooklyn in the ast minute of the sixth round. The knockout was clean and decisive, and .ame chiefly as a result of the superior ing generalship of Ryan, which en-
 bled him throughout to successfully wade or withstand the heavy on 'laughts of his opponent.
 Sturdy and heavy hitting, proud Of lis great endurance. full of vigcr and nergy. with confidence and ambition, 'arter was no mean opponent. In fact le hustled Ryan throughout the fight, 'orcing him from corner to corner with wicked lunges which effectullly de- troyed any effort on Ryan's part to box prettily. Forced to fight, Ryan inally went al the game as only few nan. He stung and jabbed Carter until le had him bleeding and bewildered, md then several well-placed right arm iolts on the jaw tumbled the husky Young fellow a bleeding mass of sense- ess humanity to the floor.

The reception was held at his country home on SagmOr. hill and from o'clock until nearly he was busy shaking hands and renew ing old acQuaintances.

TRAINMEN VOTING
 FOR HIGHER WAGES
Talk of Strike in Consequence Not
 Warranted.

Chicago, September 15.-Lodges of ductors west of line drawn from Du- luth, Minn., south to New Orleans are voting on the proposition to ask for ad- ditional compensation for their ser vices.
 E. F. Clark. grand chief of the Or der of Railway Conductors and Patrick J. Morrisey, grand chief of the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen, stated that owing to the vastly changed con- ditions as compared with those in ex- istcnce at the time the present wage scales was made, both conductors and trainmen believe they are entitled to an increase in wages"
 The movement was begun al a meet ing of the chairmen of the general ad- justment committee, held in Kansas City in June, the decision being reached that an increase of from 10 to 20 per cent should be demanded. The chair men of these committees met again in Cleveland on July 24. where the pro- ject was submitted to the general of- ficers of both bodies. With few alter ations and corrections to conform to the laws of both organiza tions it re- ceived their endorsement.
 The lodges are voting and sending returns to Kansas City, where the joint committees will hold their meet ing on October 1. Should two-t thirds of the vote be cast in favor of demand ing an increase of wages on any one or more railroad systems or on rail- roads within the prescribed territory. the joint committees will prepare a uniform wage scale for all parallel lines through lines and independent systems and feeders to these.
 "The present talk of a widespread strike is unwarranted sensationalism, ' declares Grand Chief Clark of the con- ductors.
 "No strike will occur at least until all other means have been entirely ex- h2usted, and then only upon a two thirds vote of the members of the or ganiZatiOns involved" he added
 MT. Morrissey for the trainmen. said eff anything is done it will be done along orderly lines and in accordance with long established policies of the bodies affected.

THE STORY GROWS WORSE.

THE STORY GROWS WORSE.
 Vancouver Wash. September b. Reports of loss of property from forest fires continue to come on every hand; still no reliable estimate Of the extent of the damage can be made. Many have lost everything. 4 report from Dale, a settlement east of Bells noun tain, is to the effect that nearly every settler in that section has been driven from hom, and property was consumed by great wall oi fire that swept through there.
 Washougla report says that the loss of property in that section is worse than was first thought. The entire country around and including Skama- mia. the Last Chance. Latton and Blue bird mines is a smoking ruin and many people are lost. Latton's sawmill at Bear Prairie is destroyed and two other mills back Of Fern Prairie are also in ashes. An old man named Pluss. whose home was destroyed by fire at Fifth Plain, has gone insane over his loss
 Mayor Eastman of Vancouver issued a call for a mass meeting of citizens tomorrow evening to devise ways and means and succor for the suffering in habitants of the burned districts Of Clark county.

The candidates for the nominations of probate judge and recorder had not slept any the night before. and kept those delegates whom they could find awake The morning was spent In street corner and byway caucuses. The country delegates were not given time to get their teams tied before they were assaulted and dragged hither and thither by the contending forces. Quite early in the morning the Young Mems Democratic Club and the sympathetic element among the Jeffersonians gave out that the nomination of McFall ani Langston was assured. but their eff forts in that direction were not re- nitted.
 A caucus of the Jeffersonians was

 There was a contest though it did not come to a vote on the question of the time to which an adjournment should be taken. The friends of Lang ston and McFall wanted as much time as possible for time was everything to them. They believed they had suffic- tent support but they were not sure of it. On the other hand some of those who were opposing them believed that time could work wonders for them also Others of the Jeffersonians confident that they held the winning card wanted to play as soon as possible. In the end though a motion was made to adjourn until one o'clock and was passed with out opposition.

Observe how the hen feeds when out
on the range. 1t is first blade OF
grass or a leaf of clover. then a short
chase for grasshopper or cricket.
She now discovers soft spot In the
soil which she believes worth investi!
eating, and sets to work with the
mining tools nature has given her
with a view of finding out IL 1t is
pay dirt" A fuzzy weed head Is in
her path and she stops to shatter
down few of the ripened seeds. She
is drawn away from this repast by
another grasshopper which springs
down in front of her and jumps away
again just in time to save himself
from the dash which she has made at
him. In place of the grasshopper
which she didn't get she nips another
clover leaf or blade of grass. Thus
the hen feeds little at time and
consumes hours In obtaining a full
meal. 1t seems that people who see
this every day might know that throw
ing down a measure of shelled corn
on bare spot is not the way to feed
the hens. And those who do this re-
ceive conclusive proof that there is
something wrong with their feeding
during the time of year when the hen
has no choice of food. but must live
on what is given her by the owner

ONE PAINTERS HAPPY LIFE.
Mind Of William Blake Filled With
Lofty Thoughts.


William Blake, the poet and paint
er. whose delicate and mystical work,
both in words and on canvas. was
quite unlike that Of any other man.
had a singularly happy life. 1t was
full Of encouragement and greatly
cramped by poverty. but of this he
seemed to take no account. His mind
was always filled with lofty and beau
tiful thoughts. and this world seemed
to him but the entrance to a nobler
state of existence.
One day, when he was an old man, .
little girl was brought to him. He
looked at her tenderly. stroked her
long curls, and said:
my child, may God make this world
as beautiful to you as 1t has been to
me-"
He had not been well for a long
time before his death. When his old
friend, the artist Flaxman, died, Blake
said:
Il thought should go first can
not think of death as more than going
out of one room into another"
A little mre than year after that
he died. On the day of his death he
composed and uttered songs in praise
of God, SO sweet that his wife, as she
stood by, was enraptured by them.
"My beloved" he said to her, they
are not mine. No. they are not
mine!"

because man has raised poultry all

fact that after a judge is licensed

Freak dinners are a fad. An OF
binary dinner has lost its charm for
some people who go out much during
the season, and now that Paris has set
its seal of approval on the Corinthian
dinner at which everyone is Obliged
to cook something, New Workers and
Chicagoans will select this form Of
entertainment as a diversion.
In studio few weeks ago the wife
of an artist gave one of these cook

knew nothing of the fun in store for
them when they arrived at the house

served by the men, who acted as the
walters. Strangely enough, the din.

But cooking has become such fad
OF late that it is considered quite
smart to know how to cook some par
ticular dish in a chafer. The bach

host acts as cook, have increased the
desire for culinary knowledge, az
these occasions prove very enjoyable

Water for Hogs.

Owing to their fatty makeup. the
hog suffers most of all the domestic
animals, when deprived Of water. In
order that they may do their best,
they must have pure water. not once
or twice day, but all the time. This
can best be provided. where there is
not running water, by having a
square trough, to which is fitted a
float valve at one end. This trough
should not be over ten inches high,
and should be protected by mailing
stats across, to keep the hogs from
getting in and soiling the water. This
trough should be fed by a pipe lead
ing from a reservoir or large tank.

Cool Market Poultry.

When large quantities of dresset,

The overworked Factory Manager.

In the factory where the manager
is overworked and has to do most
of the actual making Of the butter.
attend to the machinery and other
duties, 1t is almost impossible for him
to devote his attention to the fine
points of factory management. He
has neither the time nor the inclina.
ton to work in the best interests Of
his employers. The manager must
necessarily be student and should
have time TO read and think, as well
as work. 1t is false economy to work
short-handed In any business. more
especially In dairy factory. where
seven days week have to be taken
into consideration, therefore the ex-
ira help required should be ungrudg
