BoxING IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Bouts Between Professionals Are More Ceremonial Than
 in America.

Boxing is well conducted in Eng land" said an American just home from the British isles. "Clubs must comply with the law, which is strict in regard to having plenty of exits in case of fire or panic.
 Good shows are given to which the admission is from 12 to 371a cents, our money, for the best seats. The bouts begin early and last often until after midnight, the clubs giving their pa- irons the full worth of their money. The bouts are ten rounds or over.
 'The style of boxing is slow as con- pared with that seen in this country. The English boxer takes his time wait ing for a knockout blow, and some times three or four rounds will go without a blow being struck.
 "When the men enter the ring the referee introduces the fighters, first announcing the mans name, then reading off his record, Then the sec onds are introduced, and finally the timekeepers The same process is gone through on the other side of the ring, Then the referee steps outside the ring, where he sits on a chair during the bout. He calls to the men to break, and they are soon disqualified and sent from the ring if they refuse to obey instructions.
 "On the opposite side of the ring from the referee is an umpire, who acts as a sort of assistant referee, looking out for any infractions of the rules on his side of the ring.
 When man is knocked down his opponent is sent to the corner and not allowed to stand over him waiting for a chance to knock him down again as soon as he gets to his feet This is in accordance with a strict interpretation of the Queensberry rules, and is in marked contrast with the practice usually adopted in contests in this country"

LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE.
More Numerous Among the Criminal Class Than Among Honest Men,
 Says Dr. LOmbrCso.

It has been generally understood that it is a misfortune to be left-handed, but few of us are ready to be told that the disqualification is a moral one. The peasantry Of northern Italy have been accustomed, however, to use the phrase to describe untrustworthiness and, ac- cording to their distinguished country man, Dr. Cesare Lombroso, they have only blundered in their popular speech into one of the latest of his own seien- tific discoveries, says the London Globe. As Dr. LombrosO puts the case, we may, with a good deal of safety, assume that left-handed man will be bad man. There is a much larger percentage of people who are not right-handed among criminals than among honest men; and if our investigators figures are to be trusted, left-handed women are in yet more evil case. Swindlers are asserted Co show the largest proportion of left handedness among admitted criminals. It would be curious to inquire whether there are other races besides the Lom- bards and Tuseans in which the excep- tional proneness of left-handed persons Co vice has passed into a proverb One would certainly desire evidence from a wider induction of facts than seem to be yet available before accepting Dr. Lombroso's startling generalization.

New Orleans are making plans to
build their organization on per-
manent basis Sc as to be in trim
to wage a war against the "Regu-
lars" in two and four years hence.
The Home Rule permanent organ
ization is to have country ramifi-
cations as well, and il it does,
there is no d ubt but that all the
disgruntled Democrats of the
State will align with it to defeat
the regular Democracy. One of
reasons for the continuing of the
organization is to keep an eye on
the next municipal administra-
ton in New Orleans and to see
that the voters of the city place
themselves in a position to exer-
else the suffrage by paying their
poll taxes.

ANOTHER CONSTITUTIONAL con-
VENTlON

The New Orleans Times-Demo-
Graf a few days ago launched a
movement for another Constltu-
tional Convention, to DC held some
two years hence, consequent upon
the holding of the next session OF
the Legislature. Louisiana has
already had seven or eight Con-
stitutions since her admission as
q State, the present one no: being
more than six years old. The
suggestion of the It'd, has al
ready met with some attention on
the part of other newspapers,
some of which rightfully believe,
We think, that there has been en-
tirely too much political excite
ment il the State in the past year
and q little surcease therefrom is
very desirable. Under the Con-
stitutiop of 1898, the organic law
under which the State is governed.
there can hardly be any doubt but
that many things could be i'm
proved upon. For instance there
are the defects with the judiciary
which the recent amendment
aimed to correct, but which un-
fortunately faiied Al the polls.
There i, also the gambling pro-
fibition which n-ry would ike
modified 10 the extent q! imposing
4 very high license on gambling,
arguing that it is now being OBJ
served more in the breach than
otherwise. IL is also argued that
the licensing OF gambling would
permit a reduction of taxation in
many quarters where the utmost
immunity ought to prevail. Gam
bling is a vice of the most far
reaching moral consequences, and
it 10 very questionable whether
the people of Louisiana would for
. moment consider any PROPOSE
ton to tolerate it under any kind
of high license. The passage Of
the recent amendment fairly
makes provisions for the support
Of INDECENT Confederate veterans.
Whnt, then, can be the need for a
constitutional convention two
years hence?
