The Great Fight.

When Fitzsimmons fought Corbett
in this city the Appeal picked him to
win and when the great fight comes
off on the 25th in San Francisco the
Appeal believes that barring accidents
he will retrive his lost prestige. JET
fries whipped him in New York and
from the manner of the Cornishn m
fighting that night he did not seem to
be himself.
He is now in splendid shape to put
no a stiff fight and will give differ
ent account of himself, or we are very
much mistaken. Jeffries whipped
COrbett, but it took him longer to do
it than Fitzsimmons required and Cor
bett nearly fought him to a draw.
In fact Corbett carried off the hon
ors for his splendid aggressive fight
ing and came within an ace of win
ming. Corbett is not heavy hitter
and Fitz will put his man out in one
blow if he lands right. He has the
punching delivery that tells and is
seldom in such distress that he has
not such a punch up his sleeve. He
has the ring experience OF over a
hundred fights and there is nothing
to Justify the odds against him which
are now being played. Those who are
betting on the New York fight are
overplaying themselves.

The Indian Scheol

The Advance, 4 paper published at
the Carson Indian School, says: Fri
day the school year closed. The at.
tendance for the year exceeded that of
any previous year. The total enroll
ment reached nearly 300. while the av.
est manifested by the pupils has been
very satisfactory, even the older In
dams hove shown warmer feeling
toward the school. We feel confident
that the school has entered upon a
higher plane of usefulness.

Just Like Boys.

During the exhibition of the moving
pictures a number Of kids hung 9
bout the door and when the m,-cgc-
found that they had no money and
were anxious to see the pictures he
invited them in, considering t,,c ac.
that all boys greet the pictures with
cheers and advertise the fact that
there is something doing inside. The
boys declined with naughty air. say
ing that they took nothing in Carson
that they didn't pay for. In few
minutes however they heard the noise
inside and went around to the. north
side and all crawled under the canvas.

Insisted on His Rights.

Some parents still believe in the old
adage that sparing the rod spoils the
child. An Indiana paper tells of one
of this class who strobe into the
schoolhouse and confronted the teach
er after the scholars had been dis
missed for the day.
81 understand you whipped my boy
this morning!" he began angrily.
Eyes, sir, I did," the terrified teach
er responded, ''but I did not whip him
severely"
THAT'S what I'm complaining
about" rejoined the parent; '"'you
didn't wallop him half enough. Now,
look here. I am one of the largest
taxpayers in the school district, and
my boy is entitled to as good whal-
ing as you give any other boy. I'm
derstand that. If you slight him
again you'll hear from me. Good aft
ernoon, sir!"-Youth's Companion.

King Edwards Memory.

While he was in England Mark
Twain says his head was once taxed
as gas works. He wrote Queen Vic
toria a friendly letter to protest, say
ing: ST don't know you, but I've met
your son. He was at the head of a
procession in the Strand and was on
a bus" Years afterward he met the
prince of Wales, now King Edward
VII, at Homburg. They had a long
walk and talk together. When bid
ding him good-by the prince said: 81
am glad to have met you again. This
remark troubled Twain, who feared
that he had been mistaken for some
one else. He communicated the sus-
picion to the prince, who replied:
"Why, don't you remember when you
met me in the Strand and 1 was at
the head of a procession and you
were on bus psf. Louis Post-Dis-

alas! and alack! !. that embodiment
of all the proprieties was still smart
ing with the thought that in a few
short weeks she would be thrown
once more on the cold charities of the
world, and desire for vengeance had
taken possession of her gentle
breast; therefore she thought a
rather smiling thought which she did
not put into words. She simply ac-
guessed.
Soon his majesty's mails were in
creased by various square missiyes,
on their way to all the fashionable
quarters of the town, announcing
that Mr.. and Mrs. J. Holmes Greene
would be sat Home" on Thursday
evening, March Goth, and requested
the pleasure of the company of Mr..
and Mrs. Blank. Now as neither Mr..
nor Mrs. nor the Misses Blank
had the faintest idea who Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Holmes Greene were, the
cards, in most cases, found rest in the
waste paper basket; while the High
church aristocrats said, "What ex-
traordinary people to be giving a
party like that on the eve of Good
Friday"
Mrs. Greene was inclined to be I'M
easy that she received no replies, but
Mrs. Stewart, still with the desire
for vengeance, assured her that it
was not good form to acknowledge
any invitation, and she was COM
forted. In the meantime prepare
tions for the dance went on apace,
and soon the great day arrived.
A proud and happy woman was
Mrs. Greene, as, clad in violet velvet,
she gazed on the solemn black-coated
walters who had taken possession Of
the house. Downstairs the floors were
waxed, upstairs the card tables were
set out The supper, under the di-
rection of the snartest caterer in
town, promised to be what Mrs.
Greene called "rechurchy," and few
ers and palms were everywhere.
But time went on, and so far no
guest had arrived. Nine, then half
past. nine; Mr.. and Mrs. Joe smiled
less and less. Ten, then they ceased
to smile at all. The solemn walters
began to glance at one another, and
to hold their hands over their
mouths, while Mrs. Stewart smiled
softly. Eleven, Mrs. Green could bear
it no longer, but broke down and
sobbed, declaring that never, no
never, would she ask fashionable peo-
pie to the house again.
The walters departed, and left
them enough salads, jellies, ices, etc.,
etc., to last year, and this was the
end of the j. Holmes Greenes.

souls who are content to gaze on

THE HEARTS DEFENSE.


Keep the heart with all diligence: for

iv:23.
o fellow man, not from without:
Amid the wide worlds throng and rout,
Doth come thy sin:
The silent, ruthless, subtle foes
That seize the heart and choke its throes,
All dwell within.
There every purposed deed is wrought,
The selfish aim, the baseborn thought
A Judgement gains
The fallen nature to instiil
Till passion bids the plant will
In CALLING chains.
A foe without we well may match.
A foe within may raise the latch,
The password tell
To conscience, who alone commands
Its every avenue, and stands
Its sentinel.
The chamber of our heart oft shows
An altar whence there CLEANS and CLOVIS
Sells sullen fires:
Within the temple of our thought
Are golden idols, wondrous wrought
By our desires.
Our pleading hands. o Lord. we lift,
Our purposes refine and sift,
Cast error hence:
Grant us the grace the Master wore,
That conscience ever keep the door
With diligence.

FLAGS AT THE CAPITOL.
When Seen Floating at HaIf-Mast II
Is a Sure Indication of Some
officials Death.

The flying of flags over the capitol at
half mast is regulated by the strictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the staff it is
sure indication that vice president,
senator or representative is lying dead,
or that the action is taken in response
to presidential proclamation order
ing flags on public buildings at half
mast in respect to the memory of some
prominent official of the government
who has passed away, says the Wash
ington Star. When the sergeant-at-
arms of the senate or house of repre-
sentatives learns of the death of
member of either of those bodies they
at once order that the flags over the
senate chamber and hall of representa-
tives be half masted. This is often
themselves are officially notified of the
death. A good deal of discretion is ex-
ercised in the manner of placing the
news of death of this kind officially
before the senate or the house. Upon
such an announcement it is customary
for the houses to adjourn in respect to
the deceased senator or representa-
tive, and in order that current business
may not be stopped early in the day the
announcement is generally made just
before the houses are ready to con-
clude their days work. Officers of the
senate and house, when they fly the
flags at half mast in response to proc
lamation by the president, regard their
action as one of courtesy, as they do
dent to order congress to do anything
except to assemble an extraordinary
session. They have always responded
to the requests of such proclamations.
1t would be nice question if one could
ina CINE that it could ever be raised to
know to what extent the presidents
authority would allow him to order
flags at half mast on the capitol. While
his authority would not extend over
the employees of the senate and house,
yet the capitol itself for many years
was in fact controlled exclusively by
him so far as the care of the building
is concerned, and the superintendent of
OhC 10 to-udy dPpOlhtSo ny
him without conirmatory action on the
part of the senate. AS matter of fact
the capitol has for many years been I'M
der the direct control of the commit
tees on appropriations of the two
houses of congress, but that control
has been accorded them by the failure
of the president to give any orders to
the architect or more lately to the SUI
perintendent of the capitol. If. he
should order that official to fly flags
over the capitol at half mast and the
order should be disobeyed he would
have the power to dismiss him and ap-
point some one else in his place without
the concurrence of either branch of
congress, except so far as the appropri-
alton for the officials salary would be
involved. These are practically moot
questions, but they occasionally form
interesting subjects for freside talks
when flags are half masted in response
to presidential proclamations.
