LOST HIS JOB.
Railroad Man Under the Influence of
Liquor Embraced Superintendent.

There is a certain good fellow in
Atchison who lately lost g, job he had
worked for years to secure, says the
Atchison Globe. He is a railroad man,
and this is the way he lost it: He is
not a drinking man, but occasionally
takes q drink he doesn't want, as so
many of US do. Unfortunately, on a
late occasion, he took too many, and
became tipsy. He met the superin-
tendent on the street and didn't do a
thing but put his arms around the SUI
him! The man wouldn't have done
such a thing for the world, had he
been sober. Why should a man pay
his hard earned money for that
which he does not want, and which
makes him act silly: which makes him
lose his job? Isn't it worth thinking
about? You would hate to walk up
the street acting in a silly way; in a
way that would cause people to look
at you in surprised and panied wonder.
Why deliberately go into a saloon, and
pay your hard earned money for that
which will cause you to act in a way
you despise? In the name of common
sense, what are men thinking about
which Injuries them? OF course, if
man likes it, and is willing to go to
the devil, that is his business, but we
appeal to those who do not care for
the stuff; who drink occasionally be
cause of a fool custom. The Globe
does not wish to be offensive about
this matter, but isn't it time to get rid
of some of the silly sentiment about
drinking being manly or smart ?'
For of course it isn't; and if you have
the slightest sense, you should know it.

TWO OF THE BIG ONES.
Marvin Hart and Jack johnson VIII
Meet Soon.

San Francisco, Dec. 31.-There is now
no doubt that the first fight of the new
year will be between Marvin Hart, the
Louisville heavy weight, and Jack
Johnson, king of colored fighters.
Johnson has agreed to stop the south
ern man within 20 rounds and Alex.
GTeggainS has arranged everything.
The two big men are to divide the
proceeds on a so and 40 per cent basis,
and if Johnson does not put Hart away
before the end of the bout he is to get
the short end, regardless of what he
shows as a clever boxer. In agreeing
to knock out SO tough a fellow as Mar
vim Hart Johnson has undertaken no
easy task. Hart has been hailed as a
conner by eastern sporting critics for
the past year or more. He is a big,
tough boy, not overly clever, but with
more than an ordinary amount of en-
durance. While he may not be able
to reach Johnson with a Knockout
punch, it is certain that the colored
champion will have to go some to put
him away. Johnson will leave today
for Blanken's Six-Mile House to begin
his training. Hart has been doing
some work at Larkspur for some time
past. He will continue to labor at the
same place under direction of Jack Nc
Cormick.
Young Corbett repents for the wrongs
he did an honest man. He has issued
written statement retracting the
harsh words he said about Referee Ed
die Graney, and takes the trouble to
say that he made the statements in the
heat of passion and while laboring I'M
der the delusion that he was being job
bed by his friends. Graney, it will be
remembered, gave Jimmy Britt the de-
cision over Corbett in their glove con-
test in this city some weeks ago. Both
Corbett and his manager, Harry Pol
lok, yelled long and loud over the in
justice of Graney's verdict, and went
from town to town telling people what
an awful job that popular official made
of it. They had many people thinking
their way, but the fair-minded sports
who have to see before they believe
took it all with a grain of salt and put
it down in their notebooks as a cheap
squeal. They were right, for Corbett
now manfully comes out and very
properly removes the stain from
Graney's good name and will be given
credit for doing so.
Corbett and Graney made up the
other night after the Britt-Nelson fight
and have been popping corks ever since.
Corbett will no doubt get many
hearty handshake for taking the credit
able course that he did in clearing
Graney's reputation with the sports in
general.

Mrs. Hendershott went to Colorado

promising to follow. This amounted to
a desertion. What became of Hender-
shott no one seems to know.
