He Took the Hint,

A Euclid avenue woman was much
amused the other day at the conversa-
ton she CHANGED to overhear between
her cook and the latter's STEADY COM
pany."
The couple stood just beneath an
open parlor window, and the young
man was taking leave of his sweetheart.
Sure, you'll kiss me before gof"
pleaded the lover.
The answer came direct and with fine
scorn:
"If we were babe I'd kiss ye, but il
ye were man ye wouldn't stop to ask" J"
The bashful young man took the hint.

Johnny complied.
There was a woodshed on the premi-

He laid the disobedicnt boy across
his knee and proceeded to punish him

Their ODinious.

In introducing Judge Sulzberger, Of
Philadelphia, at a recent banquet, after
several rabbis had spoken, DR.. Henry
Al. Leipziger told this story;
Two ladies once had dispute as to
which was the most influential, the
clergy or the bench.
" / think the bench is the most inhu-

say, You shall be hanged
But said the other, the clergyman
can say "You shall be damned"

what About Your School Houses?

You may not this season be able to build
new one. or make the radical changes in the
old one that you had in contemplation, but
there is no school district in the United
States that cannot, afford to tint with Ala
bastine the interior of their buildings, thus
making them more attractive, getting colors
made with special reference to their effects
on the eyes Of the pupils, getting sanitary
and rock base cement coating that will not
harbor disease germs.
The closely crowded school rooms need all
the safeguards to the health Of the pupil that
intelligent officials can surround them with,
and ali sanitarians unite in saying that Ala
bastine is the only proper material to bo
used on such walls.

JEFFRrEs REFusEs oFFER.


 Jeffries does not look up the offer of Jack Herman of the International A. c. of Bort Erie with favor. When asked last night whether he would ac- cept and meet Sharkey there he said: The amount the club intends to give is not enough. I can do better than that. And, what is more, I must be assured that there will be no interfer- ence. Although the decision handed down by the courts lately to the effect that boxing is legal in Canada has been rendered, don't know whether it ap- plies to matches among the big fel- lows You know such contests always create lot of talk and invite notoriety And, what is more, I don't intend to notice the offer until Herman has sense enough to notify me personally. If he is SO anxious to have me fight think that ought to be communicated with. No, have not received a copy of the dispatch from Mir Reich, as he says. If do, which Is not likely, I will tell him the same thing as I have told you"

BASEBALL NOTES.

Shortstep Kuhn, who played with New Lo'it!on the latter part of tue season Of 1901, has signed for 1902. and his contract was received this morning. Kuhn came here from New Haven and he played a gingery game that pleased the local cranks. His return will be a source of satisfac- ion. Contracts have been sent to Tom Tucker, Pitchers Mclaughlin and Moriarty, and to Garry Wilson. but they have not been heard from since. Greer. who was tried last season in the field, wants chance to play here this summer, but there seems little show for him. He is living at Middletown. As regards the Hi 1Ladd case the local manage ment have no fears. Ladd has been signed and New London has a clear title to his services. Any attempt to get him away would be nothing better than highway robbery. It is probable that several fielders will be tried out early in thes season. The management would like to have a change catcher who can cover a field while not doing backstop work. It is probable that the state league meet ing for the adoption of the schedule will be held about the first of April.

By sheer strength he brought his mans body around and bridged him. The bout lasted 27 min utes. Alexanderson was declared the winner by Referee Gus Ruhlin, as At las, besides failing to carry out his contract, had been thrown himself Tn the preliminary bout the principals were Phil Kelly of Harlem and Fred Russell of Philadelphia. The style was catch-as-catch-can. Kelly won the match, throwing his man twice in succession.

BOXING IN NEW BRITAIN.

There was a boxing exhibition at the Casino last evening under the auspices of the National Athletic club, over 1000 people being present. The first bout was between Young Mettis and Joe Connolly, both of Harvard, six rounds at 95 pounds. Connolly won in the third round The second bout was between Otto Nacske of New Britain and Young Sharkey of Middletown, ten round go. Shar- key fouled in the fourth round and the decision was given to Nacske. The final bout was between George Nixon and Chick" Tucker of New York for twenty rounds. The limit was gone and the referee awarded the bout to Nixon on points Tucker put up an aggressive fight all the way through, but the decision was fairly for Nixon

AUSTIN RICE WINS.

St Louis, Feb 14.-Austin Rice. the New England ''iron man." obtained the decision over Tim Callahan of Phila- delphia in the arena of the West End Coliseum last night. The match was scheduled for fifteen rounds and went the limit. Neither man scored a knock down during the fight Callahan ap- peared to have the greater science and landed on Rice frequently. From the tenth round the fight resolved itself into a slugging match, both fighters violating the rules repeatedly Outside of speed there were no features of more than ordinary interest and neither at any stage had much advan- tage over his opponent The thirteenth round was decidedly in Rice's favor
 and perhaps was the factor that gained him the decision. The men had previ- ously had two draws aAd the third contest between. them drew a large audience. Charles Cornwall of St Louis was successful over Jack Dun leayy of Boston in a six-round curtain. raiser. Dave Nelson was referee. r

BIG LICENSES FOR BOXING.

So many boxing clubs are springing up in Philadelphia that there is talk of demanding a S1,OOO license of each organization to do business. The situ- ation in the Quaker city on the boxing question is rather amusing. Though Maher and Sharkey were arrested and placed under heavy bonds to keep the peace before they entered the ring for their memorable fiasco, the authorities have allowed all sorts of fights to be held since that time without the slight est bit of Interference. There has been no attempt to suppress slugging. and the rules have been interpreted any old way. The fact that the au- thorities do not allow a referee 10 give decision is regarded as an absurdity. for the men are permitted to fight just the same, and decision would not do any more harm. As it is, bettors can not expect to cash their wagers unless 3 knockout occurs and for that reason sleep-producing punches are in great demand.

 When W. A. Brady separated from James Jeffries several months ago, the manager announced that he had retired from pugilism. and would never again have anything to do with that branch of sport. He also intimated that his association with pugilists had not tended to advance his interests in the theatrical field, as the better elements of the dramatic profession hesitated to affiliate with one connected in any way with the prize ring.
 Ns Brady has been taken at his word, and has been let severely alone so far as the question of pug1lism IS concerned. His opinion has not been asked as to the twenty-four foot ring events of the past year and he had been regarded as out of the game.
 It appears, however, the sport of fisti- cuffs has not lost. its fascination for him. and while he has not announced a determination to return to the game. yet his attitude indicates that he still takes a lively interest in the sport.
 Mir Brady was standing in front of the Herald Square theater last night in company with Fred Whitney, Max Freedman and Frank Reynolds. The conversation turned to pugilism and Brady at once became deeply interest ed. The question of a probable match between Jeffries and FitZsimmons was broached and Brady said:
 ''If those men meet in, the ring l will wager $5,000 at odds of , to 1 that Jeffries wins the fight
 ''Let me tell you another thing" said Brady. ''I will bet S1, 1000 can take hold of James Corbett and make him champion again. If he placed himself under my care and followed my in- structions. he could win the title again. would put him against two fighters of ordinary ability in six months time, after which I would be willing to wager .$1 GOO that he would beat Fitz- simmons. After that I would match him against Jeffries, and wager any amount he would whip the present champion"
 No one accepted Mir Brady's wager and the party dispersed in silence.
