Paris, Nov. 1S.=An interesting con-
test, which for weeks has been q sub
feet of excited speculation among
sportsmen, has been finally brought
off. It was arranged with q view to
determine whether jiu-jitsu, the Jap
anse art of self-defense, was inferior
to French boxing, as taught by Prof.
Dubois. The latter had chaflenRed q
professor of Jiu-Jitsu, NJ. de Me. also q
Frenchman, to a match. The condf-
tons Of the match were certainly not
of a restricted character. Dubois and
de Me could do anything except knock
out each others eyes, or kick in tie
direction of the abdomen.
Among the patrons Of sport present
at the encounter were DR.. Motoua. the
japanese minister, and the first secre-
tary of the japanese legation, who
were naturally anxious to see how the

ponent of boxing. The combatantz

boots offered from those of his oppo-
nent. They were very heavy, suggest
ing that he reckoned on kicking pretty
freely.

legs on his neck Dubios was now
absolutely hors re combat, for de Me
could have strangled him. As It was,
Dubois injured his head against the
ground, and he had one Of his shoul-
ders dislocated. The match scarcely
lasted half a minute. There was a

of a devil. After committing the deed he

who makes the mistake Of showing his

and may know it perfectly well, in a

nose at him. She pretends that she
doesn't think him good enough but

Reuters war correspon- dent in the far east, who was with Kuroki for the best part of two years, passed through Washington last week, and he said that while the Japanese probably would have won several more big battles, had the war continued. that they were becoming rapidly physically and financially exhausted and could not have kept up a winning fight, many months longer.

WEDNESDAY, NOV .15, 1905.


 Since the election of two new sena- tors from Connecticut, a number of hungry and office seeking republicans have been laying their claims at the feet of Bulkelee and Brandegee. 4 voice from New Haven says there will be something doing pretty soon. and that some of the life servers at the pie counter must skip. On the first page of the New Haven Leader, and in bold face tpye, last evening, appeared the following: ''The two senators from Connecticut control a whole lot of pa tronage and perhaps some of it may be cut off from those who have for sey- eral years been soothed and comforted by monthly checks of large amount, sent from the treasury department for services rendered. There are consul ships and collectors of customs who have real nice places which other fel- lows would like. Pass the pie around is what some of them are saying, and 1t is intimated that Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee propose to do that very thing when the right time comes"

There was an interesting little hap pening at the reception given the hard ware men at the White House. They were received by President Roosevelt, and all of them had a chance to shake hands with him. Just before they went to the executive mansion some of them had been discussing the news paper stories of the presidents mem ory for names and faces, and Colonel Nutting of Davenport, Ia, who was the chairman of one of the committees, said he wondered if the president would recollect him, having seen him but twice before. He very soon got chance to find out. When he got up to the president and his name was an- nounced. Mir Roosevelt exclaimed: "Oh, I know Colonel Nutting all right. How are all my old friends out in Dayen- port, Colonel? And especially how is Miss French Octave Thanep? There is d woman for you. The things she knows about are simply remarkable. Tell her when you get back that read everything she writes, and enjoy it, too.7 As has been said, the president had met Colonel Nutting but twice, and the last time was two years ago.

 Of the objects of the commission MT. Greenlund said: we are willing and anxious to aid any one who is in the depths of despair.

Albert Lieber of Indianapolis a member of the United States Brewers association. has been presented to President Roosevelt by Representative Overstreet, and handed to the presi- dent a remarkable document bearing on the proposition to prohibit the man. ufacture and sale of intoxicating Dey- erages in Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory. The brewers argue that beer is not an intoxicant except when taken in large quantities and if the sale of beer is permitted the Indians would have their natural craving for a stimu- lant satisfied and would not turn to whiskey and patent medicines, the sale of which the brewers deplOre. They call attention to the fact that pat'u medicines known to contain a large quantity of alcohol are sold in the In- dian Territory at the present time. If the Indian of today" say the brewers, .'is permitted mild drinks like beer he will not seek the intoxicating ones. nor will he kill himself with the drug habit" The memorial then advances the somewhat novel proposition that if it is thought well that the sale of liquor should he prohibited. such pro hibition should be confined to whiskey and similar drinks containing large quantities of alcohol. but that beer should be exempted. The idea that an act of congress admitting a state could discriminate between various alcoholic liquors in forming a prohibitory clause is rather novel. to say the least.

 men Begging For Aid.
 To stay the hands of the self de stroyers and to render all possible aid to the Respondent is the object of the antisuicide commission recently ap- pointed by Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland. O. Frederick c. Howe, state senator elect; William A. Greenlund, former probation officer of the juvenile court, and the Rev. Harris R. Cooley. member of the board of public service, comprise the commission, says a Cleve- land special dispatch to the New York World. .a
 Every person in Cleveland who is contemplating suicide is invited to write a letter to the antisuicide com mission and tell his troubles. For peo- pie despondent from unemployment the commission will endeavor to ob- tain employment. while the needs and wants of others seeking aid will be looked after
 Tt is the grandest work ever at tempted here said Mayor Johnson. T think 1t Is safe to say that co per cent of the suicides here belong to the foreign element. Alcoholism is certain ly the basis of a large percentage of insanity. but I should not connect 1t to that extent with suicide. Worry from any cause whatever and low nervous condition are chiefly responsible.
 This commission will investigate these conditions and wherever possible will render such assistance as will make the victim of melanchoiia see the brighter side of life. Each of these men has had much experience In sociO- logical work and is well fitted for this particular task
