Lewis Blows Hurt.

AS was expected, ScrOggs had a
shade the better Of the earlier rounds.
but while he was doing the pointing
Lewis was doing the damage, and the
heavy blows delivered by the Wash
ingtonian had a distressing effect upon
his opponent Scroggs had the advan-
tage in weight. height. reach, skill, and
experience. and the fact that Lewis
was able 10 overcome all Of these and
get a draw spoke well for his future
career IN the ring.
Lewis displayed considerable ability
in using both right and left in the
same rush. and in shifting from one
To the other in going in. He had It
all over ScToggs in this respect, and.
in fact, showed more ability to switch
his blows than the great majority Of
boxers. Il IS a good trick and should
be extremely useful.
The principal fault to be found with
Lewis was relying too much upon
swings and not enough use Of jabs and
punches. lie "telegraphs" many OF his
right swings, and a clever man can
guard against them, but at other times
he gets them over so fast that they
cannot be stopped. Scroggs found that
out last night when he received a
dozen or more terrific waIlops on the
jaw which lacked only a fraction OF an
inch Of putting him 10 sleep.

A j. STEWART.

Mr.. Stewart is in need OF no introduce
ton to the people Of Aberdeen, where he
has spent almost his whole life, and
where all his interests lie. To those who
know him it is unnecessary to say that
his honest endeavor, if elected, will be to
further the progress, development and
best interests Of Chehalis county.
Al. Stewart, the eldest son of the
late James Stewart, one Of the fathers oil
Aberdeen, was born in Illinois in 1869
coming to Washington with his parents
in 1875. locating at Seattle. In Septem-
Der of that year the Stewart family came
to Grays Harbor, and settled on a home.
stead, on what is now part OF the city
Of Aberdeen.
For many years "Bert" Stewart was
associated with his father in business,
and is at present successfully managing
the affairs OF his late fathers estate, in
cluding the large brickmaking plant in
Highland Home. The election OF Mr..
Stewart will mean no uncertainty or
equivocation where his judgment leads
him to believe he is right. While, in
common with the rest of humanity, he
may err, the error will ne found that OF
judgment, not of the heart.

THE PROSECUTED JEW.
He Is. 1t Is Claimed, the Most Spiritual
Man Alive.

'The Jew is said to have what Is
known as the comm,Vial instinct"
said Oscar S. Straus. Hume tells US
that under Richard |. 800 Jews sought
safety in the castle of York. where, not
being strong enough for defense, they
killed their wives and children, threw
the bodies over the walls into the mob
below and, setting fire to the castle,
were thems elves burned alive. The
gentry owing money to the Jews has
tened to the cathedral, where their
bonds or promissory notes We're kept,
and made a bonfire before the altar
The compiler of the Annals Of Waver-
ley, in relating the. event Hume says,
'blesses the Almighty for thus deliver
ing over this impious race to destruc-
ton History blazes with such stories
of self sacrifice and barharity. The
commercial Instinct in this particular
case appears to have been on the other
side
Instead Of the Jew being natural
barterer, he is the most spiritual man
alive. He has been pounded through
the ages, robbed and massacred, but he
yields neither. his. traditions nor his
ideals. Had he been materialistic he
would have sold out long ago and
bought peace. If he would join the
Greek church he would be safe in Rus
STA. Rather than do that he will walk
into the Jaws of hell. Therefore 1 say
that he is spirtualistlc or idealistic
rather than practical or material. Were
l to choose a family that would live
would have 1t meet hardships and per-
secutions. Were to choose one to die
would give it pleasure and luxury.
The Jew, denied his civil rights, de.
spoiled Of his property. scourged and
murdered has only been made tougher
and longer lived. His enemies have
given him strength and trained him
most admirably for the battle Of life
no matter in what part Of the world
fortune may lead him" New York
