In Last Nights Bout.

Roston, Oct M Honey Melody of
Cbsrlestown was given the decision over
Joe Walcott, the welterweight champion,
al Tho end of fifteen round bont before
the Lincoln Athletic club IN Chelsea last
night. While The bout does not
actually settle the weltefwelght cham

an important bearing on the possession
of the title.
Nearly 5000 people witnessed the con.
test. The men weighed in at 14S pounds.
Ia the first round Walcott scored knock
down before Melody had really sized up
the colored lad. After that Melody got
in moro blows and inflicted more punish.
mcnt than did Walcott. Melody tried
aliaost exclusively to land effective body
punches.

Vermont Granite for Mckinley Sar-
cophagi.
The granite for the sarcophagi In
which the bodies of President and
Mrs. William Mckinley will be placed
in the m~ausoleum at Canton, Ohio,
will come from Vermont, the contract
for the rough stone having been made
with J. @. Enright,% proprietor of the
Enright Granite Works in Windsor.
The famous green granite quarried
from Ascutney Mountain will be the
material used, the supply coming
from a new quarry just opened upon
the farm of s.. ]. Mower in West
Windsor. The contract calls for six
pieces of granite, fourteen inches
thick. It is said that the sarcophagi
will resemble somewhat that of the
great Napoleon in the Pantheon at
Paris, the dgure and wings upon the
top being lacking however.

nresent time there are over 200 caiG-
rem depending on the Home for daily
support.
The children are given only into
Christian homes. There Is n fea-
eture in which this Home differs from
anv other, in that families of chiidr7n
are never separated. The managers
have succeeded in finding bones for
families of three, four aud five child
rem. One of the great secrets of the
success of the Home with the children
who have come under its care Is that
they are made 20 feel that all the
workers love them, and that what
ever is done is done solely for their
good. They look at the Home, not as
an institution, but IS a home. Some
become so attached to the Home that
they have no desire t. go into private
homes, no matter how nice they are.
The Home was Incorporated in
1888, aud all the property of the in
stitution is held by a board OF
| trustees, and SO decided that it must
be forever as a home for destitute
| and orphan children.
AS we have tried to show IN this
article. this Home knows no church
lines or state lines. It appeals to
Christian hearts everywhere because
it will give shelter and care to desti-
tute children, not only from any
part of the Uaited States, but from
any part of the world, without money
and without price. the only limi5
being the capacity OF the Home and
the contributions for its support.
The receipts for the running ex
pensss of the Home have been far
below the needs for several weeks.
If anyone feels moved to helpsin this
grand work of saving the children
contributions will be gratefully re
ceived by the manager, II. r Lemen,
Council Bluffs, Iowa.

defraud shippers by a system OF over
weights and underweights was disclos-
ed in the trial here of Jay J. Miller, a

trial is the first in the cases of eleven
weighmasteSs and others at the stock
yards indicted last year following an in-
yestigarion by a committee of the trad
ers' exchange. Miller testified before the
grand jury that indicted the men that
he knew nothing of the existence OF the
alleged crookedness and the prosecution
is trying to prove that he did.
A J. Judy, present chairman of the
finance committee of the traders ex-
change, admitted candidly on the stand
| that he knew about the combine; that
he proflted by the thefts end was B
party to them.

about the Organization that had been
arranged to short and over weight He
said there was already number Of men
at the yards who We're al it. That when
they bought cattle the latter were uu-
derweighed and when sold they were
oYerweighed. He omered to put me on
the list, 1 to give hlm 40 per cent OF
/ what we made and to retain 50 per cent.
he was to take the money and divide
| it with the men who weighed the cat
tie at the yards. He said there were
already in the combination Henry Mich
OILS Jay 1. Miller. Ray Bowen, Cy Van
George Wright and some of the VIII
/ hites. Charley Wiggens and Bruce

who gave the false weights"
Judy testified to having paid money tC
Wiggens and to Wracketdorfer for max
ing improper weights by which he pro
fitted.
Wiggens, who is under Indictment is
living on a farm somewhere in Iowa.
