PROFITS OF pUGILIsM.
Large Sums Realized by the Leadins Prize Fighters In Their
 Engagements.

xC~s profitable business-th1s prize fighting, after one gets to weigh a couple of hundred pounds and can boast of having knocked out" a score or two of men, says the Baltimore News. For his part of the proceedings in the recent fight, Jeffries has been able to add to his bank account nearly $33,Oo0, while Corbett's roll has been increased a Ihade less than $11 ,000. Of course, the training expenses amounted to some thing, but when the linen have attained such notoriety as the two principals in question have, it is generally the cus- tom for enterprising roadhouses to fall over themselves bidding for the honor of entertaining stIem during the weeks of preparation. Nearly all of the ng- ures mentioned for each man will be clear profit, and it is a pretty tidy salary for half an hours work, even though that work consists of being 8 chopping block for the other fellow. Besides, the prominence with which each man is again brought before the country on the eve of another season on the stage is an asset which must not be overlooked. Such fights as that of 8 few weeks ago don't need to be ttfaked.'' Each man realized that there had been nothing doing for so long that he was dropping from public vision, which means death in the supplementary profession each has chosen.

LOVE AND REASON.
Writer of the Olden Time Calls Them "Handmaids in Affairs of
 NIatrimony.V

Quite as we'll applicable to the pres {ent age is comment on Love and Reason" taken from an almost century old newspaper of the colonies. With it's flavor of oldtimeness, it's shrewd, half humorous, wiseacre comparisons, this communication-for such 1t purports to be- shows abundant evidence that the primal opinions of human nature come unchanged down through the ages, says lthe New York Tribune.
 {; Tn affairs of matrimony," says this long ago writer, some people are gov erned by love alon and some by by req, son alone. Bach ought to have joint concern in these matters-they are ,handmaids which go along with the few who are so fortunate as to be among the wise.
 Love looks only to the honeymoon. He is a near-sighted little mink; does- mt see two inches before his nose, and yet depends altogether upon his eye sight, and thinks he has wonderfully clear vision. He is not able to discover any defects. and therefore most soberly concludes there are none. ConseQuen- ces all lie utterly beyond his ken-you might as waell tell him the moon was made of green cheese as that matri- mony had dash of trouble in it's com position. All this is the natural se- quence of his blindness.
 Reason is to love what a pair of spectacles is to nearsighted man--it enables the blind little fellow to look beyond the fair cheek and the blue eye, beyond the wedding ceremony and the wedding supper and the thousand things that cluster round the very idea of marriage. He enables the boy to look beyond all these to the domestic k fireside, to the kitchen comforts of < welded life, to the larder and the led ger, to the pudding and the purses. to the ways and means of living, as we'll as to the very simple business of loving.
 Marry the lass that has the COW, was the advice of an old gentleman to a laddie who consulted him on the sub- iect of choice between a girl with a COW and one that had nothing but a pretty face. So far as beauty is con- cerned, there is not the difference of 3 COW between any two girls in Christen- dom.' This is not my notion, however. though there is something in it. But marry the girl who will manage your domestic concerns to advantage, who is prudent, sensible, economical: get a good disposition; an accomplished maid with it will be all the better, and beauty, if you find it united with all these, will complete the tout ensem- ble.
 Don't marry for money, merely there is neither love nor reason in that. It may buy many fine, things, but it won't buy happiness, and without that a man is a poor creature Money is no objection, it may be, indeed, an impor- tant object, but every other consider ation bends to the point of being
 matched as we'll as paired, when love and reason join hands"

LOST ON A MOUNTAIN
Woman Spends Lonely Night She
 Will Never Forget. ,
Missed Her Way on Black Hills and Met Mountain Lion Sere- naded by Wildcats and
 Other Animals.

Mrs. Pringle, well-known resident of Sioux Falls, s. D., had an interesting experience as the result of missing her way while descending from the summit of Harney peak, the highest point in the Black Hills She encountered 8 mountain lion, and during the night she spent on the mountain was serenaded by wildcats and other animals which infest that portion of the Black Hills.
 Mrs. .Pringle separated from party of friends near what is known as The Needles, a curious rock formation near Sylvan lake,. Several persons could be seen on the peak by the aid of field glass, and 1t was her intention to join them. As she had not returned in the evening, the alarm was given, and search for her was instituted.
 Tn order to make as large force as possible, word was sent to Custer, and the members of company I, of the South Dakota national guard, set out in search of the missing woman. Some of the searchers continued the work all night, and frequently fired shots and shouted in hopes that Mrs. Pringle would hear. but no trace of her could be found.
 It was feared that she had wandered over a precipice in the darkness and been killed or seriously injured. There are numerous places of danger in that locality, where there are sheer drops of from 50 to 300 feet, and it was thought Mrs. Pringle might have stumbled off one of them while in a bewildered con- dition.
 One of the searching party found the missing woman shortly after sunrise. Mrs. Pringle made the. trip to Harney peak all right. but by the time she

Major Delmar,. Earort Fails.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-- The big event at the Empire City track was the ef- fort of Major De.mar to beat his own record of 2:OO5z. Prior to his trial it was announced that he had been bought for $4O,0oO by E. B. smathers, the owner of Lord Derby, McChesney and other fast horses. Tn his effort he went to the quarter pole in 0:30A, to the half in O:59A and to the three-quar- ters in 1:29A. There he broke and came home in 2:o5. The regular programme was strong one. Tn the 2:15 trot Di- rect View sold for $25 and the field at the same price Annie Little won both heats easily. For the 2:15 pace Daphne Direct was the choice, and again the talent was wrong, as Little Fred beat the favorite out in straight heats In the 2:30 trot Leonta was the choice but in a close race was defeated by Leonora after the first heat.

WITH THE WHEELMEN.
Major Taylor Will Retire from the
 Track

ITdCK.
 Bobby Walthour, the speedy cyclist, has given up the racing game. Wal thour was one of the greatest pace fol lowers in this country. He has for some time realized the dangers of work on the track. This season Walthour came to bhe conclusion that he had won enough fame and gold out of the wheel. and has announced that he will never ride again.
 Major Taylor, the only negro champion cyclist, has returned to America after a successful campaign in Australia and Europe, extending through the winter and summer. Tay- Tor went direct to his home at Worces- X ter, Mass, and is there now. Word came from France some time ago that Taylor intended to retire from cycle racing but it was not credited. Taylor confirms it, however, by saying that he has made his last trip as racer. His idea is to quit before he gets played out and get into some other business. He expects to represent an automobile concern hereafter. While abroad Taylor defeated the champion ' of Australia and in France he defeat ed Ellegaard in a match race right af- ter the Dane had won the worlds championship, for which Taylor did not compete. Taylor saves his money and the trip is known to have profted him from $1o,OOO to $15,OOO.

Surprises at Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 25.-The form went awry at Highland park, long shots having an impressive inning. The worst loss of the day for the talent was when Fairbury, at 15 to 1, took the feature event, mile and sixteenth handicap for two-year-olds and up ward. Firing Line, the favorite, was not in the money Ben Howard, well backed at 3 to 1, made the running from the start to the top of the home stretch, where Fairbury overhauled him and won out by nose. The selling race war continues After Dolly Hay man, which was entered to be sold for $500, won the first race, she was run up to $1,2oo by J. J. McCafferty and bid in by her owner, Wade McLemore.

SHAMROCK FIRST.
Brooklyn Concern Buys Yacht for Use Between Here and South America.

Brooklyn Concern Buys Yacht for Use
 Between Here and South America.
 Shamrock I, challenger for the America's cup in 1899, and which act ed as trial horse for Sir Thomas Lip tons two other cup Ghunters, has been bought by Samuel & Sons of Brooklyn She will never again fly a racing flag but will end her days hauling scrap iron between New York and ports In South America. The boat, it is said will be converted into a schooner al an expense of about $40,0O0. Not much alteration is possible in the hull of Shamrock I, and the new owners say that except some slight changes in her interior she will remain much the same. It is possible that an at tempt will be made to shorten her fin as she will not need so much draught in her new business.
 The deal for the boat was conduct ed by George De Tenna of New York with H. Hier Davis, Lipton's agent The sum of $20.Oo0 was said to be the purchase money, but these figures were not certified by Samuel & Sons although they admitted the price was a, liberal one Shamrock is rated al 135 tons burden. As a schooner she will carry nearly as much canvas a: when engaged in the cup contests. O1 the later day racing machines, Sham rock I is perhaps one of the stanches built. A proof of this is that sht crossed the ocean three times, has beer in all sorts of seas and gales, and to day does not leak thimbleful.
 Of the boats which have been sen in quest of the Americas cup. only one, besides Shamrock I, has beer turned bo commercial purposes. Sh, was the Cambria, the first challenger sent here in 1871 by Sir Richard Slut ton. She is now used in carryirri coal between Bristol, England, ane Waterford, Ireland.

reached the summit the persons she had seen there had descended and she found herself alone. She started back, but missed the trail. After wandering about we'll into the night in an effort to find her way down the mountain, she made herself as comfortable as possible on the ground, and states that she slept a part of the long night.
 It was a wild night for Mrs Pringle, and a woman of less nerve would not have recovered from the experinece of the night for some little time. Dur ing her wanderings in search Of the pathway to the foot of the mountain she encountered a mountain lion. She procure water to quench her thirst and wash her hands, As she parted the bushes she caught glimpse of the tawny beast as he was making off from the pool of water.
 She did not see anything further of the animal that night, but states that wildcats and other animals made merry music until daylight The spot where shelwas lost is one of the widest parts of the Black Hills, and is far removed from settlements. Wildcats are nu- merous there, and stage driver, while taking party out, had said there was a mountain lion in the vicinity which had been seen several times, but that the animal was cowardly and harSaless unless cornered or compelled to defend it's young.
 Mrs. Pringle kept the stage drivers words in mind, and when she encoun- tered the animal did not lose her com posture.

A Hero in His Dax.

At this time of much airship talk, one rarely hears the name of Pilate de Ro- zier, one of the first to test the feasi- bility of aerial navigation, and yet he was the hero of his day. A monument was erected in France on the spot where he made his last and fatal attempt. When the balloon was first invented he scorned the idea that criminals should be sent to make test ascents. Tt would be an honor to lose one's life, if need be, in such an enterprise" he said He died some years after in trying to cross the English channel, and he is still the ideal of French aeronauts, because of his fearlessness. his enthusiasm and his love of the sport IN.

 That John B. Kelly is to be put through course of stunts before the campaign opens this fall was decided upon to-day. Lt-was intended to have Jack Brandon from the west handle Kelly, but he could not take charge of him right away. Tn a balk with sev- eral sporting men in the city last night the party who has been doing the bus mess for Kelly up to the present time was asked why not get Joe Lawlor down in Sdmonsville bo train Kelly. The suggestion was a good one, for Lawlor has handled quite a number of lighters and knows the game from the top to the bottom. He also has a good place to train and it would be just the proper place for Kelly to con- dition himself. The proposition was made to LawIor to-day and he has the matter under consideration. He has offered under certain conditions to handle Kelly, but will not handle the business end. He will have a meet ing with Kelly and his business man ager within a day or two and then will submit his proposition If ac. ceptable Kelly will at once start to train and will be sent against all of the wrestlers in handicaps or any oth- CT old way.
