WRESTLING
THE NEW CLUB
Waterbury's Latest Sporting Pa vilion Will Open Up To-
 Morrow Evening.

All lovers of good clean sport who want to see wrestling matches that are run on the square and who will certainly get the run TOT their money, will find the opportunity. tomorrow evening when the new club rooms of the Simonsville Athletic club are thrown open to the public. Manager Joe Lawlor has had force of work men busily engaged for the past few months enlarging and beautifying the old gymnasium and you will be sur prlsed at the results. The interior is lighted by electricity and the arrange ments for seating are most admirable. The twenty-five cent seats are made after the style of circus sittings, but more substantial. The ringslde seats are so arranged that every one of them Is good one. The platform on which the wrestlers will compete is one or the best that has ever been used ill this city. The mat also is a corker, and in every little detail the gymna- sium has been fitted perfectly.
 Jack Roach of this city and Charles E. Smith of Oakvllle are to meet each other in the main contest They are to weigh in at 12s pounds at the ring side and will wrestle for Ie ccentage of the gross receipts and $25 a side The betting favors Roach, although Smith, being almost an uESnown, is quietly getting what odds he can and covering them. Smith says he will throw a bundle of surprises into the Roach camp before he gets through with him tomorrow night. The star preliminary is exciting an equ:
 amount of interest. George Gresham. the champion featherweight of Can ada, will meet Young Blondin' ct this city and the fur will fly when these two lads get at each other. Both are clever, understand the game and the pace cannot be too hot for them They have been looking for each other for long time and the opportunity will come tomorrow evening. Another preliminary will also be put on.

 Strong Enough.

JOHN. L. WAS CHAMPION.
Waterbury, Conn, Dec 12. 1905.

Waterbury. Conn. Dec 12. 1905. sporting Editor of the, Democrat,
 Dear Sir-PleaseI Inform me through the columns of your paper whether John L. Sullivan was ever awarded the heavyweight championship of the world Was John L. ever the cham pion? Was Jim Corbett ever the heavyweight champion of the world !?
 A SPORT.
 John l.. Sullivan was the champion of the world at one time and won the title fairly and squarely. Tn 1887 Jake Kilrain, of America. and Jen Smith. of England, both champions of their respective countries, fought for the Police Gazette championship of the world belt That fight was draw. In 1889 John l.. Sullivan met Jake Kill rain in Richburg, Mississippi, on July s of that year for the belt and the championship and he beat KiIrain af ter fighting seventy-five rounds. In the previous year Sullivan met Char Icy Mitchell in Chantllly. France, and after fighting thirty-nine rounds the battle was declared draw This fight was an unsatisfactory one and it was not held to be a championship affair. Sullivan held the belt and title until he met James !. Corbett in New Or leans on September q 1892, when he was beaten in twenty-one. rounds. This fight was claimed to be only for the championship of America. hut as two years afterward Corbett met and decisively beat Charley Mitchell. the then recognized champion of England. corbett was also entitled to be called the champion of the world.

Today is tine day of the old timers. This conclusion is a just one. as may be proved by a glance at the pugilistic bulletin board.
 Our old heavyweight friend Bob Fitzsimmons is to fight Philadelphia Jack 0'Brien. Fitz is an old timer If ever there was one. He is well on toward fifty years of age. and his ring career began almost thirty years ago. Another -once wuzzer" is lightweight Terry McGovern, who is to fight Bat fling Nelson. the Admiral Togo of the pugilistic world. Terry thinks he has e chance against the Danish face de strover. The fight occurs in PhiladeI- phIa on Jan 28.
 Fitzsimmons and McGovern show plenty of spirit in their determination to remain in the ring-the spirit that makes great fighters. Despite bis age. Fiz should defeat the Philadelphian. for the Cornishman Is a master of strategy and even now can deliver a terribly heavy blow.
 MeG0vern's one hope against Nelson Les In the shortness of the bout-six rounds. the Philadelphia limit.

OLD FACES MISSING.

The growth of the American league
 by the way, has served to change the general makeup of the National league in such manner that at this week S conclave many old faces will be miss ing. James A. Hart is no longer the head and front of the Chicago club. A. J. Reach and John I. Rogers, once the owners of the Philadelphia. club, dropped out of sight more than a year ago. H. R. Won der Horst, deceased, and F. A. Abell, retired, have been re- placed in the control of the Brooklyn club by Henry W. Medicus, a new man in base ball. Arthur Soden and w. H. Conant of the Boston club tried to sell out last spring to Frank V. Dunn, but the deal fell through re- gently, with the veteran Hub mag mates still looking for purchaser. The Robinsons still hang on in St Louis, where they would welcome a consolidation with the American league club of that city, and Barney Dreyfuss continues in charge of Pitts burg. Garry Hermann, the. chief own CT of the Cincinnati club, who Is also interested in the St Louis and Phila- delphia clubs, in addition to having induced some of his friends to buy the Chicago club, is another advocate of consolidation on the lines of a twelve club circuit. but that is all there is to it, as the American league has gone on record as violently opposed
 to any such plan. .

Abe Attell and Kid Sul- livan both bested him in Philadelphia As a matter of fact, it was the result of his fight with Sullivan more than anything else in that young mans ca reer that gave him a chance to come Into the limelight. His showing with Nelson made possible his meeting James Edward Britt.
 Of course when the Battler put Britt away everything was all serene again. but it was over the full course. It was no six round boxing exhibition that fin- ished James Edward, and there was

Didn't Want a LAWYER.

81 began to practice law in Dakota in
territorial days" said the lawyer
from Chicago. Our judges were sent
to us, and some of them didn't know
any more about law than they did
about the political beliefs of the
mound builders. One of them-Ill call
him Jones-was so appalIingIy ignor
ant that it was great relief when
Oh the admission of North Dakota to
the Union, he left the bench and began
to practice law. His successor was a
man wholly without sense of humor
and the only good thing he ever said
in his life was wholly accidental. A
man was brought to trial charged with
selling liquor to the Indians. The
judge asked him if he had a lawyer to
defend him.
No." said the man; Il don't want a
lawyer
Well" said his honor, looking about
the room till his eyes rested on his
predecessor, IN appoint Judge Jones
to defend him" Washington Post.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings
Heavy Fires.

Some heavy losses have been sustain
ed by the fire insurance companies op-
Grating in Mississippi since the 1st
of January, and it begins to look like
the disastrous experience of the year
1904 is going to be repeated during
the current period. One of the ad-
juster Of company carrying large
volume of risks in this state estimates
that the Mississippi losses sustained
by the various companies since the
first of January will aggregate nearly
100000. During the past few days
good-sized fires have been reported
from Coahoma, Greenville, West Point
Vicksburg and a number of lesser
places. The annual report of nearly
every fire insurance company received
at the office of Commissioner Cole
since the first of year shows heavy net
losses on Mississippi business, and
some of the companies were hit unus-
ually hard during the year.

KIPLlNc's CAMEL .


Author and an Artist.
In the beginning of the century II
was the custom of French artists to
go to Algeria in search OF inspiration
and among the artists and writer's that
went there in the fifties was found a
musician, Felicien David by name, and
sitting with the Arabs round the camp
fires he heard their primeval chants
and noted down some strange rythms;
and these served as a basis for SYM
phony which he called lie Desert. 1t
was sent to Paris and performed with
great success, and Berlioz wrote an
article entitled "a New Beethoven. :"
OF Belioz's sincerity and intelligence
there could be no question, and
whether new Beethoven had really
appeared became the topic of discus
sion in French artistic circ'es. AT one
of these discussions it was remarked
that Auber had not spoken, and when
pressed to give his opinion he said
that he would prefer tozwait until
David had got off his camel.
Now it is Mr.. Kipling that reminds
me of David and his symphony, for
when he brought his tales from India
and published them in London every
one began to ask if new Shakespeare
had appeared; the situation was very
like the situation in Paris, only there
was no critic sufficiently acute to say
as Auber, "I'll wait until he gets off
his camel before express an opinion. =
His patience would have been reward,
ed quicker than patience is usually re-
warded in such matters-Mr. kipling
had the imprudence to accept all offer.
to get off his camel; in other words, he
had the imprudenee to write a story
the scene of which was laid in Eng
land. There were few cameIs in the
beginning of the story, and the story
ended among camels, but the greater
part of the story was camel-less. The
love of two young girls for an artist
is the theme of this tale, and even to
the average man and woman it was
clear that the story was very ordinary,
differing in no wise from the ordinary
story except that the style was vigor-
Gus and fluent. There was little in the
story to remember; l ouly remember
one thing, that the hero was much
more proud of being able to outwit the
dealers than he was of his art. Yet
avarice was not the dominant note of
his character, the hero's pleasure was
in his conviction that he was not going
to be taken in.. II know a trick worth
two of that" he seemed to be saying to
himself all the time, and the analogy
between Mr. Kipllng and the artist
who brought drawings back from the
east and was great success in London
is obvious. George Moore, in Lippin-
colts Magazine.

For teachers. Supt. Whitfield sets
forth many. strong reasons why the

ont the fact that nine-tenths of the
children Of Mississippi receive their
education in common schools of the
country districts, and that these
schools are often poorly equipped with
teachers.
