 In Commander Fuckers party which is making tour of the south Is Billy Smith, once a prize fighter, but now a member of the Salvation Army. His wife is also in the party. She was at one time an actress.
 Billy Smith was now well along in his teens; he had had any number of im- promptu fights, out of which he generally came off first best, and he was not with out admirers to back him. So when a direct challenge for a public fight came along his way, not only was he himself inclined to take it up, but his friends were enthusiastic about it.
 For the first time now he went into reg ular training and in due course of time had his fight '1icked' his man, and in the eyes of his friends covered himself with glory. And so opened his career as a professional pug"
 He soon became well known to the sporting element of Philadelphia, his birthplace and home, and 1t was not long before his reputation spread about to other cities Challenges and acceptances presently began to pour in upon him, and before he realized 1t he was sure enough professional ring fighter.
 From the time he actually entered the lists as a professional up to the time when he gave up his prize fighting to be- come Salvationist Billy took part in no less than JOS ring battles, in addition to private set-tos. In his day he has met many pugilistic celebrity.

 In reference to raising funds for the Hillman hospital, I should like to make a suggestion; If taken up in a proper man ner firmly believe 1t would be complete success The above hospital being chiefly for the working men and women, it is only right the working class should do their share towards maintaining it. suggest, say any day during July or Aug ust that should be settled upon to be called hospital day" and working men and women donate that days wages to the hospital fund. also boxes be placed in stores for the geenral public that feel like giving In large cities that I have visited, London especially, it has been quite a suc- cess.

PROF. s. A. ELLIS.

Having been solicited by a large num- Der of public spirited men and leading educators of the county to enter the raco for board of revenue on the ground that a practical school man should be on that board because the law now provides that the board of revenue may have charge of the building. eqnipping and maintaining of the school buildings of the county, hereby announce my candidacy for that office after much hesitation, knowing well the hardships and sacrifices one makes in entering politics, an act of which l have not ben guilty hitherto. But if my friends and tlow teachers baleve that 1 can serve my county to better advantage in that capacity than as teacher. l submit myself unreseryedly into their hands. pledging myself to comply with democrat ic usage and that if elected I shall strive to make a faithful officer.
 s. A. ELLIS.
 Professor Ellis is ripe scholar with wide experience in public life, especially in the work of his profession. He has shown an aggressive and enterprisng spirit as an educator. keeping pace with the advanced thought of the age From this fact 1t Is only reasonable to suppose he would manifest the same spirit in the new position which he seeks.
 Under the new laws of the state, the building .equipping and maintaining of the school houses of the county will doubt less pass under the control of the board of revenue. and it is eminently proper that a skilled and experienced school man should be on that board. It is believed by many of .his warm supporters among the leading educators and business men of the county that he will secure the cleo ton. $$s
