LIBERAL FIGHT FOLLOWERS.
What II Costs Some Sports 10 he Present
at Important Ring Contests.

Sportsmen. especially those who have a
penchant for pugilism, are liberal when it
comes to paying for the privilege Of Witness
ing their favorite pastime ring fol-
lower if he can afford it as a rule never
demurs about the price for ticket to see
an important fistic encounter, and during
the Horton law days in New York this fact
was exemplifed several times. A little
bit Of pasteboard emitting the bearer
TO n seat at prizefight sometimes cost
the holder twice and three times as much
as it's face value. Yet the possessor never
rebelled and seemed to be glad to secure
the ticket at any figure.
To demonstrate how popular fighting
was. nearly 10000 spectators clamored into
Madison Square Garden to witness the Kid
Mccoy and Jim Corbett encounter which
proved to be SUCH n transparentand brazen
hippodrome. Tickets for that mill we're
at a premium, and according 10 a specu-
lator who had bunch Of reserved seat paste
boards and sold them outside OF the Garden
a t25 ticket brought as high az $50. There
are several other instances where tickets
for prizefights cost their owners from ;s5
TO $50 according to their location.
However. the record price in tickets for
prizeiight was reached at the international
lightweight championship contest between
Kid Lavigne and Dick purge about nine
years ago at the National Sporting Club,
London. Those who are acquainted with
the policy Of this noted foreign organiza-
ton know that II j. herculean task for
a stranger to get, entree to this club with
out formal introduction by a member.
Unless person is thoroughly vouched
for he cannot enter the building for love
or money.
On the afternoon OF this mill two friends
of Lavigne wished 10 see the fight. They
were Americans and came from Michigan.
One was a wealthy salt mine owner. The
two had just arrived in London from Paris
and Immediately went to the club to pur-

financial failure and the club lost money.
Five thousand dollars was required TO pay

Mrs clipper Weighed 81 Pounds when She
Went There; Weighs 100 Now.

When Mrs Henry Eipper of Arlington,

her husband and son in the Klondike she
weighed only o. pounds. When she re-
turned last fall after an absence of five
years she tipped the scales al 10.
She was the picture Of health and her
improved physical condition was COM

days ago Mrs Eipper again babe good-by

started on the long return trip to the Klon-
dixie alone TO rejoin her husband and son.
This will be her second journey to the Klon-
dixie alone, as she went unaocompanied
in 1900.
The Eippers, father and son, live twenty

VS.. Jarndyce seem like a summary pro-

IA, began in 1917, and arose out of a
dispute over a pension. The sum in
controversy would have reached fabu-

Noisy Birds Of NIGHT.

All the night-birds are noisy. They
cannot consort with one another in
happy companies as do the warblers
and thrushes and finches, and sing and
whisper, but must call loudly and long
to one another in the darkness. On
coasts where petrels and certain other
matchmaking sea-birds abound, all day
sitting on their eggs or hiding in bur-
rows, you will hear no sound from
morning till night, but after dark the
air is filled with shrill cries.
The loud, reiterated calling of the
Southern chuck-wilrs-widow and of it's
Northern cousin are familiar. A whip
poorwill will sound it's cry several hun
bred times in succession without q
pause. Owls boot or utter a harsh sort
of laughter rarely pleasant to listen to,
and n~ight-herons and bitterns squawk
and boom.
Sweet songs occasionally heard in the
darkness are those Of wakeful day
birds, as the nightingale or our own
observation-disclosures.

PAYING SAN DOMINGO's DEBT.

We think it will be somewhat OF a
surprise to The Messenger readers TO
hear hat the United States is still act
ing as financial agent for the republic
of Santo Domingo. They will remember
that some months ago this matter was
up and the president was severely cr!ti-
cised for attempting to establish such
relations between the two countries
without first securing authority from
congress. But it seems Mr.. Roose-
-'elt has gone ahead and established
what we suppose he would call a ten
tative" relationship regarding the
financing of TN. affairs of this West
Indian republic. He has placed this ~ov-
eminent in a position of custodian OF
customs receipts of the republic Of
Santo Domingo and as trustee of these
receipts for the benefit of the creditors
of that republic. He has done this in
defiance of the laws of this country
and of the almost unanimous opinion Of
the American people. His position
that the relationship he has establish
ed is only temporary and is awaiting
the action of congress on the question
is untenable. If he could not establish
such relationship permanently without
consent Of congress he could not legally
do SO temporarily and pending action
of congress" on the subject. However
he has placed MS fiscal agents in the
Dominican custom houses for the pur-
pose of collecting the customs duties
and these agents deposit a certain per
cent. Of the collections in New York
creditors to be paid to them, we sup
pose, when congress shall pass a law
to that effect. During the months OF
April and May these American agents
collected the sum of 1881 GAS in duties
and deposited $157,313 with New York
banks to be pail to San Domingo's
creditors after our congress acts on the
question. Of course congress will have
to approve of the action of these so7-
eminent agents. 1t can not refuse to
turn this money over to the persons to
whom Santo Domingo says it is due.
The presidents action has placed con-
gress in such position that it will either
have to sanction what he has done or
stand before the world as a very dis
honest government. Congress may put
a stop to the present state Of affairs.
but 1T must sanction the past actions
of the president and his fiscal agents
in the Dominican ports of entry.

While the yellow fever is spreading
in New Orleans and there have been
some cases outside that city we still
maintain that the disease cannot be-
come such a scourge as a possible a
few years back. We firmly believe the
physicians and experts will o have
it under control. We publish in anoth-
err column an article from the Charlotte
News of Tuesday giving an account of
an interview with a Mr.. G. z. Brand,
a fugitive from New Orleans. Mr..
Brand evidently was scared most
to death. We do not think more
credit should be given to the wild
statements of such men as Mr.. Brand
shows himself to be than the calm dec
larations of the men who have the
nerve and the courage to stay in the
city and fight the disease. All Mr..
Brands statement proves is tina. there
are a lot of towards in New Orleans
who are deserving their posts Of duty
in the face of an imaginary danger.
