Herforl says that Sullivan recently challenged Cans to fight at 136 pounds, weigh in at 6 o'clock on the night of the mi l It is further stated that Tom Sharkey thinks so much of Sullivan's chances in a fight under these conditions that he will wager 1000 on the side. In a letter to the Sun Herford writes from Baltimore

sHARKEY OR MuNRoE

Saturday night, in Philadelphia.
 Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe will
 meet for six round argument in the prize ring.
 For the last two or three days the reports that have come from the training quarters of both men say that they were never in better condition
 than they are at the present time. They will need to be. for 1t will be a rapIu-nre, smash-bang affair for. all F the eighteen minutes of real acton that the two heavy-weights are sched- uled to go. As is the won't of all ring
 gladiators, each man says he will win
 until the other lands the smash that
 will clinch the fistic argument.
 Every followers of the boxers
 agrees that the SharKe ey- Munroe bat tie will be worth going the distance 10 see. Sharkey wants to re-establish
 himself among the heavy-weights ana Munroe is on the anxious seat, for he wants to get chance at big Jim lief fies for the championship. Jeff" has assured both men that he will give the winner a chance, but the winner of Saturdays battle must meet him not later than June l..
 Just now Sharkey has a shade the better of the betting end of the fight. The fact that it is limited-round bout, and there will be no official de cision, has to some extent halted the betting. There are many sporting men who argue that neither man will pc defeated by knockout inside of the limit set for the battle.

 SIGN ARTICLES
Certain to Meet Winner of Sharkey and Monroe Battle-Other Interes- ting Fighting News.

New York, Feb 26.-BilIy DeIany announced yesterday that Jim JenrIes would sign articles next Monday after noon to fight the winner of the Shar- key-Munroe contest at Phi i.adelphia to- morrow night
 Jefrries said yesterday: T am al ways ready to fight when asked, and in order to show my sincerity now, will tackle the winner of the Sharkey and Munroe scrap. This fight ought to be a hummer. Both are husky, strong and clever, and there should be a decision before the end of the sixth round. I would like to fight in May as intend to take a. trip to Europe dur ing the coming summer. There is no chance of the intended mill not be n2 held because Sharkey and Munroe have declared that they will meet me. San Francisco is the only place, in my opinion, where the encounter can be decided, and I think we will nave 1T out there.'
 Jenries takes light exercise daily, and in his boxing bouts with Joe Ten nedy is as quick and speedy as ever.
 Munroe is working for Saturday. s battle at a local gymnasium, and is i'll excellent form. The ex-sailor is also as fit as a fiddle. Thar Sharkey can hit as hard as ever is shown b. faa fact that Tom Carey. the fighting Irishman,' who used to be his spar ring partner. is no longer wi.l nm. Carey could not stand the sailor s fierce wallops. Patsy Rooney of Mon treal has taken Carey's place, and the daily boxing stunts between, the two are worth looking at. They go at it hammer and tongs.

TOO MANY jANITORS
Charter Commission to Look
Into Court House Expenses.

The charter commission last night
decided to name a committee to in
Ves1gate the expenditure Of money for
the maintenance Of the court house and
city hall. In the opinion of many of
the members the amount allowed the
Joint court house and city hall COM
mission for the maintenance of the
Joint public building was altogether too
much, and the charter commission pro-
poses to ascertain whether it has any
voice in the matter.
1t has been often charged that too
much money was being expended in
the maintenance of the building. and
on more than one occasion some men,
Der of the joint commission has at
tempted to have the expense reduced.
but the reduction has never been made
1t is charged that the building could
be cared for just as well if a few IAN
1tors were disposed of and a number
OF other retfenchments have been sug-
gested.

the opinion that it was a matter with
which the charter commission had
nothing to do but the committee to

Local members of the G. A r. and 9TH
ers throughout the entire state are deeply
interested in plans to make a grand cere-
monial occasion Of the removal Of the old
battle flags and other Civil war relics
from the old capitol to the new building
This matter will be brought before the
state encampment to be held in Mime
apolis March Is and 16, and definite ar
engagements for the proposed demonstra-
ton will then be made.
ST. Paul member Of the G.. A. R.,
speaking of this matter yesterday at the
capitol, said:
"The department Of Minnesota should
make the transfer of those sacred relics
a most solemn occasion. 1t is agreed
that one of the most commendable pur-
poses of our public observance of Me-
mortal day lies in it's example to the
young, and what more impressive lesson
could be conceived than that which would
be furnished in a ceremony of this kind.
Those trophies are deserving of the high
est mark of respect and should receive it.
Rhode Island, Connecticut and number
of the other states have. on similar oe-
casions, held most impressive exercises,
and Minnesota should not miss this OPP
portunity.
1.-The ranking officer Of the department
of Minnesota is Gen. John B. Sanborn, of
st. Paul, who was the only soldier to at
tain the rank of major general in the
Civil war. He should be given a prom
inent part in the exercises, and all of
the Minnesota veterans should participate

Special to The Globe.

special to The Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Feb. 26.-The case
of Daniel Webster VS.. Peter Ferguson,
both Of La Crescent, Mimi, in which the
plaintiff sued to recover $4,000 alleged
to be forfeited by the defendant be-
cause he had acted as agent for Wild
cat insurance companies and had issued
a policy Of that amount on the Toledo
Wooden mills, recently burned, termin-
ated suddenly when the circuit Judge
at Caledonia dismissed the case on the
ground that the plaintiff had no cause
for action.
When the suit was filed 1t created
unusual interest in Minnesota owing to
the fact that an opinion on wildcat
insurance companies issued by the in
surance commissioner Of Minnesota
was involved. The commissioner had
condemned the companies, and this
condemnation was presented to Web
ster by Ferguson, who had been en-
gagged to secure the insurance. Webster
accepted the insurance in spite of this
fact because 1T was cheaper. The case
is taken as an important decision re-
gardIng the responsibility Of the alleged
wildcat" insurance companies, a cues
ton now interesting Wisconsin as Wen
as Minnesota.

the old teaching which tends to remove
God millions Of miles away from man,
and are adopting the old teaching Of
splrItualism which teaches that every
man has divine part in his makeup.
This is only one of the many things
they have adopted from spiritualism
which is helping to develop annd broad
