Both men went right to work and
showed all the qualifications that
they were well up to the work. Time

best in weight, the second round was
declared in favor of him.
Third round.-The contestants
came up a good deal flushed, Stookey
playing for wind, and Casey allowed
him little opportunity to get re-
lief. This round was devoted mostly
to scientific work. The round closed
with very clever Boxing on both sides.
No decision was given as to the vic
tor, as both men showed up clever
fighting qualities.
This was the first boxing contest
under the auspices of the new organ
zation the Athletic Club and over
three hundred people attended. DR..
Whitney, the president, was highly
pleased with the initial bout and pro-
mises another event by the same men

Among the other features of the
evening, were exhibitions of strength
and ability by !,

teens. A delightful smoker was also
given after the programme was COM

all.
The club is now in very highly
prosperous condition and its finely
equipped gymnasium is one of the
most popular resorts among the
young men of the city. DR.. Whitney
and his associates deserve great.

Dick Pullett, well known negro
of this city, while delivering an order
for Scott's East End Saloon was
held up and robbed near the Delta
Manufacturing Company, on Blan-
ton streets, last Saturday night about
II o'clock. The negroes who held
him up were desperate men, for in the
attack they succeeded in jabbing a
knife into the juglar vein of their
victim. The two robbers made good
their escape and have not been de-

and will be immediately available, as will the magnificent establishment erected on the side of Ancon Hill, overlooking the city of Panama. The French spent about sa. 900 on this hospital, which has more than thirty buildings, a perfect water supply, absolutely perfect drainage, and which is most admirably located. After renovation 1t will care for 6g0 patients under the very best conditions procutable here. At Culebra. on the hills $50 to 400 feet above the sea level we should es- tablish hospital, perfect in all it's de- tails, with a capacity for not less than 700 patients.
 "Taboga Island, a high and extensive tract of land lying several miles out in Panama Bay, has the most salubrious cli- mate, with less rainfall than has any other part of this country. By some oVer- sight in the negotiation of the treaty we failed to obtain this island. the republic of Panama retaining dominion over it.. TaboGa Island will, however, be trans ferred to the United States hy means of subsequent negotiations or we may take 1t under that clause of the canal treaty, which, besides the zone and islands speci- fled, grants us such other territory as we may require. In that event Taboga Is- land will become the site of a convales- cent hospital to accommodate 500 patients "a purpose for which it is most admir- ably adapted, That will. believe, give us all the hospital equipment we shall need With this equipment in charge of experts, as certainly 1t will be. and with the isthmus brought to a proper sanitary condition there is no reason why the work of digging the cana1 by this route should exact any unusual penalty in hu- man life"

At Nicaragua We should, however, have to face all the trouble the French originally encountered hee-encounteed at the cost of thousands of human lives.
 'That we shall have sickness here-and plenty of it-when the canal work begins, Is to be expected. Its extent may, how ever, be limited by applying the necessary measures for sanitary improvement be- fore any large construction forces are brought here. What will follow if the sanitary work is done in advance may be controlled. Proceeding upon the assump- ton that 2O,0OO men will be engaged on the work, we may conclude that 10 per cent of that number, or 2,00O, will all the time have to be carried upon the sick list That number will by no means be excess sive considering the character of the work to be done.

Where do you find anything like the welsh rabbits you used to eat in the brave nights of old? Why are the welsh rabbits of tonight stringy and hard or shabby unutterably? Do you remember the old chophouses, with their great com fortable chairs, their slow service aial their fat chops, incomparable mutton, the pick of a hundred flocks? In the pride of youth you used to weigh yourself before and after those chops at the Shakespeare, say, in Twelfth Street, or at the Studio, and exult in your appetite. Can you toss off tobies nowanights? Is ale. in however admirable a pewter now allowed to en- ter your venerable and well-worn glzzard?
 "Of course, the humorists have changed for the worse, as the oysters, perhaps we ought to say the Holsters, have. Why. it must be about thirty years ago-may the foul fiend strangle the inventor of Time that we used to read The Danbury News and laugh with the heartiness of youth. It was a little mechanical, wasn't 1t, that humor of MT. Bailey, if his name was Bailey? Falling over stove and that sort of thing. Mechanical or not. 1t had a great run, and the humorist knew when to stop. He gave up humor, we believe, and lived a prosperous gentleman and newspaper proprietor. The Detroit Free Press man and the other writers men, tioned by our correspondent had their day and vogue. MT. Peck even developed sufficient humor to become Governor of Wisconsin. Where do you find anything like the humor of these men nowadays? asks our correspondent. We'll this is largely a matter of individual taste, just as it would be for us to say that Artemus Ward was worth the whole pack of hu-

morlsts mentioned The rewards of the successful humorst of today are great Newspapers, publishers, theatrical man agers bid for him. As for the merit of the present humorists, 1t seems to us that a single one of them, Mir. Doolsy form erly of Chicago, has, at his best. more originality, quaintness and distinction than all men celebrated by MT. Cretgh- ton. There are plenty of others, known and unknown; and we have no doubt that the quality of their work is at least equal to that of their predecessors. We all get a little bilious and hard to please as We grow old. It becomes harder to play up- on dur risibles, and We are sure that there is less cause to laugh because we are slower to laugh. But, depend upon it. newspapers. comic papers, magazines and books are full of stun which tickles mil- lions of people. Perhaps 1t is the liver rather than the brain that judges the con- temporary humorists harshly."
 This disposes of the matter very nicely The humorists of today are just as funny, and funnier, than those of yesterday. Who does not appreciate George Ade. DinklespieI, Wilberforce. Jenkins. Roy McCardell. Ambrose Biere, J. Kendrick Bangs? And there are many others.
