THE PUGILlSTS.
MORAN LEAVES
 FOR HOME
The Little English Fighter Will Return Again-Jack OBrien and Twin Sulli. van Fight a Good One.

After a three months stay in this country, during which he has had great success in the ring, Owen Moran. the English bantam champion, returns home today on the Cunard steamer Caronia. Moran only makes the trip so as to pay short visit to his fam fly.
 The little English champion was given great send-off last night at the Delaware by Charley Mitchell. Ike Thompson. Parson Davies, Young Cor bett, Doc McDonough, Tom O'Rourke. Rob Roy Benton, Bat Masterson, Otto Schindler, Dick Roche. Al Smith. Dobe Hurley, Kid Mccoy, Mark A. Mayer. George F. Hall. Eddie Foy, Dick Der nard Sam Bernard, Harry Bulger and ]. F. Beerbower.
 Moran has beaten Monte Attell and Danny Dougherty since he has been ill this country, but his one regret is that he has been unable to force Jimmy Walsh or Frankie Neil into a match.
 T will be back the later part of August" said Moran. and will then make match for the worlds cham pionship I now hold the English title. and there is no man in my class in England for me to fight now that Jem Bowker has joined the featherweight division. No one has treated me as Jimmy Walsh has. for have been will ing to fight hip for prize or purse. He very sensibly has lodged me, so far as fighting me in the ring is concerned. However, I bar no man living in my class. and hope for match with Frankie Neil on my return. In par ucular do want to express my great thanks to my manager. Tom O'Rourke. who has treated me royalty, and he will direct my affairs when I return. y

Judging of corn, visits to leading farms and excursions to the state college of agriculture In 90 counties of Illinois last year one session of the farmers institute was given over to the boys. In Winnebago county the Boys Exper- tment club has a regular place on the county institute programme. Its mem bers also meet at some of the best farms in the county to study the dif- ferent crops. examine the buildings and livestock, and see the improved machinery in operation. Their experi- ments are something more than the growing of a small plat of corn, sugar beets or soy beans; they include also the study of farm management, fertil- ity, prevalence of barren stalks and smut-all of the conditions likely to affect materially the yield and qualicy of the crops grown. Note the points brought out by one of the boys in the corn-growing experiments in the fol- lowing report to County Superintend- ent of Schools O. J. Kern, who has de- veloped this work in Winnebago county:
 My experimental corn was the Leaning corn. I rlanted my prize-groving corn on the 1th of May in plat that contained three square rods. The soil was black, sandy foam The ground had garden truck on il last year. which left il In good condi- ton for corn this year. The ground was plowed with a ls-inch plow al a depth of s.x inches. l planted my corn in rows three feet wide. the hills teing two feet apart. The corn was up within three days and averaged TWO stalks 10 the hill My corn had good many suckers on, but very little smut. The corn averaged i2 feet tai, many stalks having two ears.

O'BRIEN-sULLIyAN FIGHT.

According to Ernest Mooar. of Pitts burg, the Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien- Twin Sullivan fight in Dawson was a great one. The men," says he, Ill the Pittsburg Dispatch. fought twen- ty fierce rounds to draw on the night of July 4. No other decision could have been given, for both men were put down for the count in the last round. It was give and take affair. with science thrown to the winds, the men fighting blindly, hoping to land a lucky punch.
 The men agreed to clean break and that hindered Sullivan. for he IS essentially an innghter. and he was made to look slow and awkard by the shifty O'Brien in the early rounds of the fight"

notes, an tomorrow when the sale
comes off they'll knock the old place
down to me at my own figger. To-
morrow mornin' yell cook ye're last

ment for thirty year, ever since We laid

It's my turn now"
He lodged the heavy toe of Jonas's
boot and FASTENED down the graveled
walk to his buggy at the gate.
Jonas went back to the kitchen and
cleared up the breakfast dishes. Then
he sat own with his pipe to think It
over. The Squires words were no
surprise. He knew that Barlow had
bought up the notes; he knew that
there was no hope for him after to-
morrow. He had already packed his
few clothes in a grip, and was ready
Tomorrow. before the sale could be-
gin, he would walk out and leave the
old place, with all its memories, to its
new owner.
Jonas nature was self-contained,
and he did not show his emotions. Yet,
as he wandered about the house,
thinking of Eliza, he came very near to
tears. 1t was all so lonesome and for
lorn. The dust lay thick on the par
lor table, something he had never
known in the old days. His mind
went back, as it had done q hundred
times during the week, to sonny"
his son Bill,-and a great sob welled
/ Nv
there-but he put the thought reso-
lutely away. Billy was not there:
Billy was but a memory, and Ann
Eliza was dead, and home was home
no longer. Jonas was up long before
dawn the next morning. AS Squire
Barlow had predicted, he cooked his
last breakfast, and by sun-up he was
ready to depart. He stepped out of
the yard without look back. The
air was sharp with November frost,
but he swung away down the road at
gait that set his heart pounding joy
ousIy. Over his shoulder on heavy
cane, he carried his carpet grip-saek.
In his pocket was money-not so much
to be sure, but enough to keep him for
a month. And why worry beyond
that, even at seventy years of ages
IL you had asked Jonas whittier he
was bound he could not have told you
but he felt in his heart that he could
make his way to one of the large cities
and find work, for his spirit was yet
young. It was his boast, admitted by
his neighbors, that he had not aged 9
day, in look or manner, in the past
ten years. SO he strobe on with Q
light step, and for a week covered
about twenty miles a day, putting uT
at country hotels The fresh air was
like wine; the varying landscape was
delight. He lived again the days OF
sixty-three when he tramped up and

HAUNTED CASTLE OFKIMBOLTON
The Queen of England Stands Cod
mother to American Baby.

When Queen Alexandra stood as
godmother TO the son and heir OF the
Duke OF Manchester and his American
wife, it was the first occasion on which
this royal lady ever assumed respon-
sibility for the spiritual welfare of any
child whose mother is a native Of the
United States. King Edward, while
still Prince Of Wales, accepted the
sponsorship Of quite a number of chill
dren Of Anglo-American unions.
By the bye, the Duke Of Manches-
ter is the present head of Drogo de
Monte Acute, who was a famous
warrior in the immediate train Of Rob-
ert, Earl of Moreton, at the time of the
Norman conquest. Among his ances-
trail homes, rescued and restaurated
with the aid of his American father-in-
law, Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincin-
natl, pre-eminent stands the tradition
filed, ssociation-haunted Kimbolton

building, standing at the head of the

1t was well for the Squire that his

instant, his eyes flashing, his nostrils
white and dilated with sudden. virile
anger He leaned with one hand on
the table, and in his grasp was the

Jonas was cooking bit of bacon
on the little stove when the door open
ed and a rasping voice spoke famil-
iarly: Coin to sell out, see, Jonas,
eh?"
> Jonas looked up in evident displeas-
ure. He was a slender, old man-per-
haps seventy years of age. His hair
was thin and white, and his beard and
moustache grew long and straggly,
showing the pink skin beneath, for
Jonas was in prime health as a result
'N his regular, active farm life. Now
his cheeks were pinker with irritation.
Squire Barlow was not q welcome Wis.,
tor. Jonas's glance encountered
another old man-as advanced in years
as himself, but not as well preserved.
He was short and stout, with black,
beady eyes deep-set i'm a yellowish,
leathery face. He looked the mean,
hard listed man he was known to be;
andyds Jonas was not pleased with the
interruption he turned again to the
stove, giving curt assent to the
Squire's inquiry:
"Ye see right, Guess We know the
meanin' of red flags jes' as well as
l do, SEEM as how gen'raly We happen
TO be 'roun' where there's bargains.
Will We sh9t tn door, Squire? l amt

Fabulous Cost of So,omon's Temple

Fabulous Cost of SO!Olnon's Temple
Solomon's Temple fourished before
the days of modern Graft" but it
may be wondered what became of all
the jewels and precious stones, for the
talents of gold, silver and brass used
in the construction of the temple were
valued at about thirty-five billions Of
dollars, and the jewels about the same,
according to Villapandus. The conse-
Grated vessels Of gold amounted to two
and three-quarter billions; Of silver
two and one-half billions; the vest
ments and musical instruments to
eleven and one-quarter millions.
There were ten thousand men en-
ployed to hew timber. seven thou
sand as burden carriers, twenty thou
sand as hewers of stones, thirty-three
hundred Oyerseers, all of whom were
employed for seven years and upon
whom Solomon bestowed as a gift
thirty millions of dollars. Adding the
food and wages the total would be
over four hundred and fifty millions
Of dollars. The costly stone and tim
Der equalled twelve billion more and
the whole total has been carefully
estimated as $77,521 1865 $3.50.

The fires out. There's no danger.
And I've bought the old home, father,

But Jonas did not hear. A great
peace came over him. He knew only
that "Sonny" held him; that "Sonny"
would take care of him; that his long
journey was at an end.
Through the midnight air came the
sound of great bells. All over the city
the Joyous message was ringing-ring-
ing in "Sonny's" ears-that Jones had
come home.

Now comes the report that another statehood convention will be called to meet in Tucson for the purpose of furthering the claims of Arizona to statehood. It is stated by the Tucson Star that the proposed convention will demand single statehood, if that be possible to attain, but that statehood, single or double, will be favored It is to be regretted that the Star con- tinues to mislead the public in regard to the sentiment of Arizona on the statehood question. The statehood conference held last spring in Phoenix voiced the sentiment of Arizona in re gard to statehood and aside from tha there is no other sentiment worthy mention in the territory and the Star will find that a decent eorporal's guard could not be mustered in Tue son or at any other point in Arizona who would be willing to sanction the proposed joint statehood bill and agree to accert a state government, if we were to share in the government with New Mexico.

The city council of Phoenix has sue eeeded in getting rid of Mayor Adams, but has not yet got rid of their muni- clpsl water bonds. It was because he insisted on Investigating the responsi- bility of the bidders for these water bonds that be (Mayor Adams) was "balled out" b. the council until he resigned his office. Now it seems that the bond purchasers have submitted three different checks in payment for the bonds and they have all had a string on them. so attached that they might pull the check back should they desire to do so before the time for delivering yhe bonds. It may be that the Phoenix council would have done better for the city had the ad- vice of Mayor Adams been followed.
