FISTS FLY FAST
IN FREE FIGHT
Chicago Sports Didn't
Like Decision and All
Took a Hand.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-The Ariel Club
had its first and probably it's last ex-
hibitiOn last night The meeting wound
up with free-for-aH fight not on the
bills. II IS one of the too many fighting
clubs started here. and there was not
enough money in the mousse TO guarantee
the wind-up. After an ordinary set of
prelimtnaries the management had to
announce that the wind-up between Kid
Abel and Joe Gallinger was of. At this
the few present raised a roar and
rough house started which was much
hvelier than anything during the even
ing. The referee took TO his heels. as
there were too many bouts going on az
once and the whole hall was full of
lists After some wholesale slugging the
police interfered and the evenings en-
tertainment came TO an inglorius end.

players as II IS with the public and thar
may start the team on the wrong track

hand, LOTUS return IS popular with
several OF the men because he was weak
on discipline and allowed them to do
pretty much as they pleased. even

The Besieged City.

Mukden is a series Of three concen-
trio squares. The outer, with a wall
Of clay, incloses the suburbs, and is
three miles each way. The second Is
Tai-tsong's city, and is the original
Manchu capital. Its walls Of stone and
brick, crenelated and buttressed like
the walls Of Pekin, are mile each
way. The third and innermost square
Is the old Manchu palace. The re-
treating Russians and the advancing
Japanese, after crossing the Hun riv-
err some two miles south of the SUI
burbs, were apprised Of their nearness
to Mukden by a lofty pagoda, which
stands at the point where the road en-
ters the outskirts of the town. If
they had found the roads from Lao
Yang heavy going, those within the
city were not much better though the
Russians, during their years Of occu-
patton, did something to abate the
streams Of ill-smelling liquid mud,
dotted with islands Of refuse, which
formerly did duty as streets in Lao
Yang and Mukden. But before enter
ing the city the hurrying troops were
greeted by charming sight; the Man
chu park before the southern gate,
with its splendid pines, it's Towering
shrubs, its Chinese pagodas, and Man
chu memorial temples, all gorgeously
decorated with many colored glazed
tiles. This park, with those at the
tombs of Nurhachu and Tai-tsong,
give Mukden a singular charm, max
ing it quite unlike the ordinary city of
the Chinese empire. Mukden has
many beautiful buildings, Of most var
led styles. Chief among them is the
imperial palace, in it's sacred inclosure
at the center of the town, correspond
ing to the Forbidden City Of Pekin.
The palace is covered with glazed IT,
les, colored yellow, the imperial hue
everywhere in China.

THE ANIMALS OF THIBET.
Rare Creatures Found on the Roof OF
the World.

the World.
If Thibet offered no attractions to
the tourist who requires luxurious
travelling, to the sportsman and the
naturalist 1t Is a veritable paradise,
though far from Edenic in some res
poets.
One Of the largest Of the mammalia
is the yak, or grunting OK. Standing
between five and six feet high at the
shoulders, the bulk Of this strange
looking creature is not a little exag-
gerated by the enormous growth OF
hair upon the lower part Of the body
and tail. Beneath the outer coat,
moreover, there is layer Of fine WOOL,
known as "pushim," which Is highly
priced for the making Of cloth. The
extraordinary tail is one Of the most
conspicuous features Of Thibetan mon
asteries or lamaseries, being suspend
ed on poles as streamers. Throughout
the East these tails are used as fly
whiskers, and in China they are dyed
red and fixed to the roofs Of sum-
mer residences as pendants. Living
near the region of perpetual snow, and
of fierce disposition, the hunting OF
the yak is not to be lightly undertake
en-. In spite of temper, however, 1t Is
easily domesticated, and forms an In
valuable beast of burden, being Won
derfully sure-footed and capable OF
carrying great weights. 1t is, how
ever, unable to eat corn, and forced
marches, exhausting alike to man and
beast, are often on this account neces-
sary.
Barren and inhospitable, the high
tablelands of Thibet harbor yet other
hoofed animals as remarkable as the
yak-the chiru antelope, for example,
which, like the strange saiga, has de-
veloped an enormous swollen nose. 1t
is supposed that this enlarged size Of
the nasal chamber Is directly due to
the need of some special adaptation
for breathing the highly rarified air Of
these regions. The little goa, or Thi-
betan gazelle, and magnificent wild
sheep, the argali, Craze, like the
chiru, where in summer the sun
scorches by day and icy blasts prevail
at night, and herds Of wild dogs are
ever on the prowl More difficult to
stalk than any other Thibetan game,
the argali still further allures the
sportsman by the fact that 1t carries
superb horns, which may attain a
length of orty-eight inches and a
girth of twenty inches at the base.
Old rams will leap from a height Of
thirty feet with confidence.
The ibex and a very remarkable ami
NAL known as the bharal, or blue
sheep Of Thibet, but which appears to
be more goat than sheep, also deserves
mention here.
The snow deer, beast nearly as big
as the great wapiti, has very seldom
fallen to the gun of the European. No
complete specimen has yet been sent
to Europe. In this country it Is rep
resented only by five skulls and horns
in the British museum, and as many
more in different private collections.
The horns are of great size, the record
in the number of points-thirteen-
is in the British museum. The spread
between the tips of the horns is over
ground. Little is known about the
creature, but 1t is conjectured that
this coloration is protective, harmon

A NUMERICAL MIsTAKE.-"Private"
John Allen tells us of an old-time
politician Of Mississippi who was
making a personal canvass of his ter
ritory.
"One day." relates Mr.. Allen, "the
statesman was doing the southern por-
ton Of the state. Suddenly he struck
a community that appeared fairly a
swarm with children. Never had he
seen so many little ones in so small
place. Clustered about one doorway
were some fourteen tots of various
ages. In their midst stood an ex-
tremely good-looking young woman.
Madam said the politician, with
gallant bow, you must permit me to
kiss these charming little ones
1.-The woman merely smiled.
AFTER he had affectionately saluted
each Of them, he asked, with genial
smile, All yours?'
"The young woman blushed.
"The statesman, with another bow,
then said, I trust, madam, that may
further trespass upon your good nature
by asking that you will be so good as
to inform your husband that Colonel
-, candidate for congress from this
district, called upon him this after
noon
Pardon me- gasped the woman,
but 1 have no husband!
"'But these children, madam!' ex-
claimed the astonished statesman.

TOTAL INCOME
Of Insurance Organizations Larger
Than That of All the Railroads.

Of Insurance Organizations Larger
Than That of All the Railroads.
The three greatest mutual compa-
nies have become the most powerful
financial organizations in the world,
having a joint income Of some $780,
100000 a year. The straight" life In
surance companies Of the United
States are pledged to pay about $12,-
900, 100000 to several million policy
holders during the next half century
or so, and they are increasing this vast
liability at the rate Of $2,500,00O a
year; and, in addition, there are more
than 500 fraternal orders, business as
sociations, and the like, insuring the
lives Of their members and guarantee
ing to pay out another s6,oO0.OoO,oOO.
All these organizations collect, every
year, some $500, 100000 from their pol
icy holders, besides another $100,0OO,-
900 of interest and the like. In
word, their total income Is little
larger than the income Of all the rail-
roads of this country, and their re-
ceipts for eighteen months would pay
the United States national debt.
An expert statistician figures that
there are today some 100000 Of adult
males (that Is, one out Of every three)
in this country who carry life insur-
ance, outside of the fraternal orders
and the like. There were, at the end
of last year, nearly 100000 policies
in force. There are only little more
than twice as many adult males today
as there were 40 years ago.
There was undoubtedly more oppo-
sition to life insurance among "old
women in the rural districts than
among the clergy. as a body; and far
more serious than either, 30 or 40
years ago, was the intense prejudice
which was encountered from the
wives Of the insured. They did not
want to have any interest IN the
death" Of their husbands, and it took
years to eradicate this queerly morbid
point of view-which is still OCCASION
ally encountered. AS a very success

five years ago there wasn't a week

find any respectable citizen who has

three children at once to her family;

meeting:
"a boy was sent out to drive a calf
from the pasture into lot. The calf
was with a steer. The steer, upon see

running after the steer, and the boy
after the calf. Finally the boy, mad and

APPLAUSE TO ORDER.-Mr. Foster,
congressman from Vermont, relates an
incident during the first Mckinley
campaign.
Having volunteered to do a spell
binding stunt, Mr.. Foster was detail
ed to address a meeting Of Italians In
New York. The small hall was crowd
ed with sons Of sunny Italy, who
seemed to be unusually unanimous in
their frequent outbursts Of approval
of the remarks Of Mr.. Foster.
1t was the first speech Of the cam
paign away from home, and he nat
urally felt proud of the apparent hit
he had made with his audience Of for
eigners. When the meeting was
over, he went to the presiding officer
to say how gratified he was that his
remarks had been so we'll received,
and expressed surprise that he had
been able to make himself so well
understood.
The presiding officer, also an 1tal-
ian. shattered Mr.. Fosters pride by
saying, "Dey understand not word
you say. When I hold up one finger
dey maka de hands clap; two fingers,
dey maka de feet stamp, an when 1
hold dree fingers dey yell like every
ding for Mckinley"
