ASHER IN THE RING.
Bowery Preacher Praises Fighting: the
Good Fight in Particular.

In a nineteen-foot ring the Rev, William
Asher of Chicago delivered some theo-
logical swings, uppercuts, cross counters
and jabs to about 900 interested sports at
the weekly fistic revival of the Long Acre
Athletic Club l5s West Twentv-ninth
street, last night. Asher reached the club
just after the opening contest was over.
He was there at the invitation OF AL Russell
of the Bowerv, who is president of the club
Mr. Asker climbed through the ropes
as if he was used to them. After being
announced as lhe Bowery Dominic 10y
Mike Newman, the clubs matchmaker, Mr..
Asker said
Il want to shake hands with you all,
AS | cannot do it personally all those who
would like to meet me raise their hands"
All the sports Immediately did SO.
That's fine continued the preacher.
y have had two unique experiences in my
life, The first one was when | personally
spoke to the saloon keepers of Duluth and
on this occasion tonight. 1t has been my
ambition to step into the ring and deal
out some chunks of theology. appreciate
all the sporting instincts in man. 1t Is nice
to be able to have that courage that makes
man man, ! admire fighters, too.
Every man should be fighter
There is Mr.. Robert Fit2simmons. We
must all acknowledge his greatness as a
fighter. Then there is John L. sullivan,
the most wonderful of them all. and little
George Dixon, who boxes here tonight.
We should all take our hats of to them"
loud applause
Il am parson or what you may call
1T. used to scrap myself when ! was
a boy and used to enjoy it. Had John l..
been a better fighter in the fight of life
he might have had more than the respect
Of his admirers and fellow men. John
used to knock 'em all out and uppercut
them. But he was weak in many respects.
His career reminds me of a quotation from
the Bible: Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life
When we fight we should fight the fight
of faith and meet the great referee. He
is the one we should meet with a clear
record. The game wouldn't amount to
anything unless there was something be-
hind it.
Pm happy to get next tonight. and if /
were in any condition | might try my hand
at boxing. But am fighting bigger fight
just the same, I'm going to see the bouts
for love boxing and those that attend the
sport"
Mr. Asher seemed to he posted on ring
parlance, for he used many tstic terms
during his remarks. He got great applause
when he finished speaking

him he said that he knew nothing about

of his head that they got little satisfaction

was perfectly sincere in saying that he had
no idea who, comprehensively speaking

DISPOSING OF DUST.
The Car Porter Nay Get Busy" in a
Different Way to Gain His TIP.

In few years the following scene may be
familiar one to travellers anywhere on any OF
the great railroads within a radius of twenty
miles Of NeW-York. The scene is the interior
Of a pariOr car The morning sun is pouring
through the windows. Some Of the passengers
have just come in from breakfast in the dining
car ahead Others who rose and breakfasted
earlier are busy packing their bags The leth-
argy of a long journey is disappearing under
the growing realization OF the journeys i'm
pending termination. The dark skinned porter
gets busy Silence falls upon the passengers
They recognize that the usual paror car hold
up" is about to occur. The dust Of the journey
is to be removed from their clothing Incident
ally each mans mouth. ears and eyes will be
filed with the dust of his neighbor. They all
dislike the process but there seems to be no es-
cape from it. To their surprise, however. the
porter attaches a small hose TO valve at one
end of the car The nozzle on the other end Of
this hose is fan shaped. The porter passes this
nozzle slowly over the clothing of the passen-
gers. a sucking sound is heard. and the dust IS
observed to disappear from the clothing wher-
ever the nozzle touches. No Shaping whisk-
broom, no choking cloud of dust, no sneeZing, no
annoyance. In a short time the dust has al
been drawn off from the passengers clothing
and out of the car through the hose.
Over in the yards of the Central Railroad OK
New-Jersey al COmmunipaw a plant for cleaning
cars in this way has been set GP. At a central
pumping station steam pumps draw the air our
of more than three miles of piping distributes
through the yards. These pipes parallel the car
storage tracks and the tracks in the station Az
intervals of sixty feet are openings to which ruo-
Der tubes can be attached The tubes with lns

permit them to be run in through a car WINDOW
or door and pass the entire length II the car.
