THE PUGILlSTS
CHANCES OF
 CANS AND NELSON
A Lot of Money Will Be Placed on the Negro But Nelson May
 Last Longest.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1S.--When Battling Nelson faces Joe Cans in the ring at Goldfleld there will be considerable money down on the ne gro. The east has never had chance to see Battling at his best-that is. in a long bout, and all his settos here, with Attell, O'Neil and McGov- ern, proved unsatisfactory. Never theless, Nelson proved that he is a most willing youth and one who can take lots of punishment as well as hand 1t out
 Gans fought two men here this summer. The most important match was with Jack Blackburn, and the latter's colOrs were easily lowered. In both bouts Cans showed that he has lost some of his old-time fire, but that age has made him more cau- ttous than ever before. He has also lost his eye for distance, his swings missing by many inches.
 But where Joe did show his best work was in countering heavily on the body with his right and with hss short uppercuts-wi both hands for the jaw. These short-arm punches by Cans are about as wicked as any one would care to see.
 Anyone who has ever seen Nelson in the ring knows that boxer has a far better chance to reach. the Dane with short-arm punches than with swings. There are not many sec onds when Nelson doesn't have his gloves close to his jaw, but If Joe slips few of his speciality through they are bound to tell.
 In coming in to mix up matters, as Nelson is always doing, these blows may turn the trick.
 Billy Nolan, Nelson's manager. got careful reports of Cans bouts here before deciding to take him on. He doubtless knows that Cans hasn't the stamina that -e had a few years ago and has probably planned Nell sons battle accordingly.
 For a few rounds Cans should be a mighty dangerous customer, but if the fight goes beyond the ten round mark Nelson. with his won derful strength and recuperatiye powers, should be on the winning end. But Battling will have to be a mighty cautious youth for the first few rounds, or he won't get the glory and the title, as we'll as the long end of the purse.

A Long Lease Of Office

Just why Hon. George Peabody Wet
more of New York and Newport should
hold life lease on a United States senator
ship from this state is not altogether clear.
He has held this office two terms of six
years each and in the twelve years has
political nonentity lie has had no partic
ular influence in the senate has never made
a single speech or distinguished himself in
any way. He has represented the state in
a routine way and has been ready with his
check book, 1t is said, when his party at
home has needed funds for strictly egiti-
mate camgaign expenses Mr. wetmore is
not man ofany particular ability as far as is
known. lie inherited a princely fortune
and therefore has had no occasion TO exert
himself in business way or to become a
great captain Of industry He took up his
legal residence in this state some twenty-five
years ago and entered politics, as is sup
posed to give employment to his spare time
He became governor of the state at a time
when the Republican nomination was
equivalent to an election and served several
terms in fairly satisfactory manner. 1t
must be said in favor of Senator Wetmore
that he does not neglect his official duties
neither does he bring to them any more
than a very ordinary kind of ability. No
doubt the Office of senator pleases his fancy
and no doubt the environment at Washing
ton is fairly pleasant; but why his term of
Office should be indefinite and perpetual is
not at all plain. One would think that two
years as governor and twelve years as
senator are all that really belongs to man
OF very common parts, whose only distin.
gushing mark is the dollar mark. To con-
tinue him another term means six more
years of dull, ordinary Office holding without
a ray Of brlliancy or a spark of animation.
The Office in no way belongs to him, but
rather it is high time it belonged to some
able man.

NeptiIntipp.

Have we ever stopped to think how
our ancestors two or three generations
back lived and fourishcd with little or
no ventilation in their sleeping apart
mcntS? The night air used to he con
sidcred Il very dreadful menace to
health and sure inducer OF colds
Bedrooms were kept closely shut, and
yet our ancestors, many Of them, were
harder than we and lived TO good old
ages. Animals burrow in their holes
at night, breathing the same air over
and over again. while birds and fowls
tuck their heads under their wings. or
course ventilation is absolutely ncccs-
sary for proper comfort, cleanliness
and health, but people have lived on
little or none Of il for hundreds and
thousands OF years.
