THE FIGHTING INSTINCT.
Story of a Desperate Hand to Hand
Encounter Against Heavy Odds.

Now and then among the brutal
ties and crimes that form the chief
subjects of daily journalism in this
country, there comes an item that
not only appeals to our morbid nature
but gets in close to the primal love
of fight which springs eternal in the
human animal. Most of us have no
feeling except of loathing in the case
of the secret assassination of six ltal-
ians in Minneapolis, because their
modes of fight are Latin in country
of Anglo-SaXon prejudices. But just
a week before, the press dispatches
from Bristol, Tennessee, told of the
sudden demise of seven Italians who
with others had conspired to murder
their section foreman, because he was
q "hard boss" Doubtless he was!
Nevertheless, the old fighting blood
tingles at the bare account of the bat
tie that the foreman, Haverly, whose
name suggests his nationality, waged
single-handed against the body of la
borers that rushed" him. Had he
been armed with a revolver, he would
have no sympathy, but he depended on
the first weapon at hand-a crowbar.
Backed against an embankment, he
withstood the combined attack of the
entire gang of laborers, all bent on his
murder, and armed, against him, with
picks, axes, and spades, in addition
to their knives. Repugnant as the idea
of killing may be, one can scarcely
help thrill at the thought of the fore
man, Haverly, at bay like a knight of
former days, fighting for his life, and
so sturdily and valantly laying about
him, weapon for weapon, steel against
steel, until he stretched seven of his
assailants dead before him and routed
the rest. Haverly may be brute and
bully; he may have deserved what
the laborers, rising like desperate
slaves against a tyrant, had in store
for him. Yet, somehow, that is hard to
believe because the innate love for
combat in our nature challenges ad-
miration for man who displays des-
perate courage and physical prowess

Gently, after her long period of service
on the Asiatic station, she was flying a
homeward-bound pennant over 500 feet
in length 1t was necessary to support
this long strea~er by two small bal
looms tied to the end to keep it out of
the water. The pennant was made Of
silk thread and attracted much atten-
ton in the Asiatic port.
In the old days it was the custom to
have foot Of pennant for every day Of
the cruise. That Of the Oregon is prob

4 Sudden Change.

Two commercial travellers, one from
London and one from New York, were
discussing the weather in their respec-
tive countries.
The Englishman said that English
weather had one great faults sud-
den changes.
"a person may take a walk one
day." he said, ''attired in light sum-
mer suit, and still feel quite warm.
Next day he needs On overcoat."
That's nothing" said the American.
"My two friends, Johnson and Jones,
were once having an argument. There
were eight or nine inches of snow on
the ground. The argument got heated,
and Johnson picked up q SNOWFALL and
threw it at Jones from a distance of
not more than five yards. During the
transit of that SNOWFALL, sir, believe
me or not, as you like, the weather
suddenly changed and became hot and
summer-1ike. and Jones, instead of be-
ing hit with a SNOWFALL, was-er-
scalded with hot water!"

PERILS IN COLD STORAGE.
Frozen Bacteria Active-Covernment
to Make Experiments.

The Agricultural Department is fol-
lowing up a line of scientific inveStlga-
ton of the effect upon perishable goods
in cold storage for an unlimited time,
and DR.. Wiley believes that he will de-
velop the fact that legislation is needed
fixing the period for which such ar
tices as meats and milks may be
stored.
In one of the Philadelphia cold
storage houses space has been set aside
for the eX. erimentS and like arrange
ment has been made in Washington for
storing birds and milk.
The stored articles will be taken out
from time to time and examined to as
certain whether or not deterioration
has begun, and at what period the
point has been reached when the ar
ticles can be no longer stored and re-
main good food.
1t already has been demonstrated,
DR.. Wiley says, that the bacteria that
occasion decay remain in the meat
while frozen, and that they actually
carry on their work, although at a
greatly reduced rate.
In one of the cold storage plapts in
Cleveland some meat was, scently
lOuHu WulCu Delu DCCn ic'
gotten for period of eleven years. 1t
was sent to the department and por-
tion thawed out and examined.
Decay had gone on to such an extent
that the meat was entirely UT for
use. The greater portion of 1T was
again placed in storage and the obser-
walton will be continued. The fact that
the meat, having been frozen for eleven
years was in a condition Of decay is
held to conclusively prove that the
bacteria can work in the meat while
| frozen. The object Of the investigation
is to ascertain at what point the decay
has progressed to such an extent as to
injure the food value of the article
stored.
There is at present no law prohibit
ing the storage of any article for any
length of time The only law upon the
subject is one that requires fowls to be
drawn before they are placed in stor-
age.

Best Dressed Man in The World.

The majority of men believe that
the best and most fashionable in
mems clothes comes from London;
and that the best dressed man in the
world is the American turned out by
a London tailor.
An American who spends a great
part Of his time in London, ana is
rather a stickler for the correct thing,
was recently hailed on Broadway by
a friend with the remark, 80 that's
what they're wearing in London, eh?'
The man addressed shook his head.
Suit made in Washington, overcoat
in New York." he said. Thought
you were logged out from Bond
Street, sure" in a disappointed tone.
Then the man who lives much in Lon
don made this radical announcement:
"They can't make a sack suit in Eng
land. You ask a Bond Street tailor
for an American business suit with
an American fit, and he turns out a

coat that gives you q caved-in chest
when it's buttoned up and a decidedly
omen front when it's unbuttoned."
Yet some West End tailoring estab-
ushments in London depend for their
very existence on American trade, not
alone the trade of Americans travel
ing abroad. but a mail order business
which entails making on measure
merts and forwarding by express
likewise payment Of duty. 80 lmpor-
tant is this business that cable coue

YORKER has no time. He can't wait
for clothes to be made by a custom
tailor.
When he needs a suit he dashes into
one Of those immense haberdasherleS
that dot both sides of Broadway from
the Battery to the Bronx, where
thousands of "ready for service" suits
and overcoats are piled on long tables
in stacks that rise above a mans
head. Here are found prices and sizes
TO fit every customer. Sack suits
from SO to $50 advertised for cut and
smartness. They are smart, too. are
letter cut and sewn than the English
cheap suit, but the latter is made OF
better material. 1t is just this differ
ence that makes the American crowd
look smart and prosperous, while the
English crowd looks merely comfort

His clothes must not appear old any
more than his face. This demand for
youth and freshness is what makes 1t
possible for some firms to sell as high
as 1000 suits in a day. Hats and
shoes get even more attention than
clothes. The ancient saw, When

Some one explained that fall was
