Surgeons Knife Works Reform.

indianapolis, Ind, September ID
Through the initiative of the. Juvenile
Court delicate surgical operation has
been resorted to here, with entire sue
cess, to correct the pronounced crimi-
nal inclination of young boy. Jesse
Beard, IS years old, was brought into
Juvenile Court in March b. his mother,
Mrs. Matilda Beard, charged with being
incorrigible. Pending an investigation
of the case, Mrs. Helen w. Rogers,
chief probation officer, and others of the
court conceived the idea that physical
defect was responsible for the lads
mental attitude. DR.. Kohimer per-
formed the operation, which involved
the removal of three pieces of the skull,
on the under side Of which he found
thick growths pressing against the head.
The boy was allowed TO leave the hos
pital fourteen days later, well and strong
as ever, but showing a remarkable
difference in his manner. The old surli-
ness and ungovernable temper were
gone and he was perfectly ameuable to
the wishes of his mother.

A MOVEMENT has been started by the
Rev. Fred Grey, Congregationalist, at
Stockton, Kan, to organize a fedora
ton of churches and Christian workers
throughout the State of Kansas. AL
ready a large number of ministers,
representing various denominations,
have agreed to subordinate creed in
favor of a broad and liberal conception
of Christianity. One Of the chief aims
is to supply smaller towns with an able
minister, and to prevent the overlapping
and duplica ton of ministerial efforts
Mr. Grey is confident that all Kansas
will embrace his plan and that the
Christian churches of every State Will
follow suit.

DEMPSEY WAS THE WINNER
OVER TWO MEN LAST NIGHT
Athletic Club Offers Jack Sheenhan and Jack
Dempsey for Next Week

The boxing game was revived I'M
der the auspices of the Savannah Ath-
letic Club last night, when two bouts
were pulled off in the clubs quarters
in the Whitfield building. They were
very short, lasting but three rounds
each, and Young Dempsey was the
winner of both.
1t had been planned to have the
programme consist of a battle royal
between negroes, but when the regular
lot of dusky scrappers learned that
Blood, a pugilist of local reputation
who has often fought his way to vic
tory in such contests, was to be one
of the contestants, they backed out,
and so this part of the entertainment
had to be abandoned. Instead it was
arranged to put on the bout between
Young Dempsey and Cuban Joe,"
then have the winner of this mill
meet Kid Thomas.
The bout was fought under straight
Queensberry rules. Dempsey had all
the best of the first go" for though
Cuban Joe" seemed willing enough
to mix it up in the early part of the
game he was outclassed, both in physi-
cal condition and science. He rarely
landed on his opponent at all in the
first round, whereas Dempsey sent
home some hot left-hand punches to
the face and really had his man going
before the end of the round.
In the second round ".Toe" came
back with a punch or two to the face
himself, but they surprised Dempsey

ATHLETIC EXHIBITION
OF Y. M. C. A. JUNIOR CLASS.
Basketball Game Closely Contested
and Victory Hard to Gain.

Basketball Game Closely Contested
and Victory Hard to Gain.
The athletic exhibition of the Junior
class at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium
last night was a decided success. The
work of the Juniors was excellent, and
reflected credit on the thoroughness Of
the instruction given by Mr.. Graham.
The wand drill and the marching ex-
ercises were among the features of the
exhibition. The most difficult move
ments were executed with apparent
ease, and without the least hesitation.
The tumbling of Silva. Alva. and
Hoyne was also a feature.
One of the most closely contested
events of the evening was the tug-of-
war between a team composed of eight
small boys pulling against a team of
five larger boys. The contest was
awarded to the small boys. They won
both the first and seconds contests
The first contest was won by about 2
inches, and the second by less than
half a foot.
The basketball game, which closed
the exhibition. was closely fought and
victory was attained only after a
hard struggle. The Blues won by a
score of to 6. Both sides played
we'll, and some excellent team work
was shown. The individual playing
was also of a high standard.

more than they hurt him, and when
he really warmed to his work, and got
behind his man in earnest, Joe be-
gan to show unmistakable signs of
WEAKNESS. He stuck it out this round,
and the next, but in the very opening
of the fourth, after lively miX-up,
in which he received a good left wal
lop on the jaw, he laid down, and the
bout was awarded to Dempsey.
After a few minutes rest Dempsey
tackled the second proposition, a game
and wiry youngster, Kid Thomas. This
chap was at a decided disadvantage
in the matter of weight and the want
of training, but he proved a tougher
proposition than the first man. He
had plenty of sand and ginger, and
his rushes and leads forced Dempsey
out of the phlegmatic state in which
he appeared to have dropped with the
intention of letting "the other chap
do the work, do the work, while he
had an easy time
When Dempsey finally got busy, how
ever his weight and training told.
and by the end of the third round
he had his antagonist so sick that
the referee stopped the bout and gave
the decision to Dempsey.
The manager of the association an
nounced from the ringside that an
other card will be put on Friday night
when Kid Thomas will meet Young
jolly in the preliminary bout, and Jack
Sheehan will be matched against Jack
Dempsey This should be a drawing
card, for though Sheehan has not
been in the ring in some time, before
he quit the game he was the unques-
toned champion in his class, having
met defeat at the hands of but one
man, Jack Durane.

HOW TO DECLARE WAR.
Forms which Have Been Used at
Various Times in Different Parts
of the World.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Until recent years there has been
no fixed form among the nations for
declarations of war. In ancient times
tradition made enemies of the differ
ent races, and whenever any two MEM
bers of opposing tribes CHANGED to
meet there was battle on the spot,
which soon involved the countrymen of
both. At a later date verbal procla-
nation through a herald was substi-
tuted for these forms of defiance. This
continued to be practiced till the six
teenth century, and there are two in
stances of ii so recent as the middle
Of the seventeenth century. In 1885
Louis XIII sent a herald to Brussels
to declare war against Spain, and
twenty-five years afterward Sweden
declared war against Denmark
through the mouth of a herald sent to
Copenhagen. But even prior to this
time influence had been at work which
undermined the old usages. After the
close of the 100-years' war; the civil
wars in England, the consolidation of
the great European states and, above
ALL the fierce rancor engendered in the
religious wars, had all contributed to
discredit the old forms of feudal chiv-
airy Written declarations were sub
stituted for proclamations by heralds,
and as early as 1888 the great armada
attacked England without any declara-
ton at all. The great legal writer's
still lent their support to the older
usage, as where Grotius declared that
the voice Of God and nature alike
orders men to renounce friendship be-
