The truth is-men are phallic
worshipers today as much as ever
they were. Theirs Is the worship
of lust, and not a reverence for the
mysteries of life. So, in many
homes, children are no longer the
gifts of God, but lustful accidents.
Small wonder the sentiment that
made courtship one delirium of JOY
is lost with the waning honeymoon.

PHILADELPHIA, March IA. -
The arena of the National Athletic
club, which was specially remod-
)elled for the occasion, will be the
scene of one of the most interesting
pugilistic battles ever fought in the
east. whep' Terry McGovern ana
Battling Nelson meet there tonight
in six round contest for the cham
pionship. Hundreds Of lovers of
the boxing sport have come here
from all parts of the country to see
the fight and 1t is expected that
every seat in the large hall will be
occupied. This would mean a ST.
900 to $4,000 house, a phenomenal
attendance for this city.
According to the conditions of
the fight each one of the contest
ants is to weigh 1873 pounds at the
ringside. This condition was no
hardship for either of the fighters.
as McGovern was already under
weight when he signed the agree
ment to fight, and Nelson was only
three pounds over weight when the
match was arranged.
McGovern did his training at
Johnson's roadhouse on Jerome av-
enue, New York, while Nelson and
his trainers worked in their train
ing camp near Essington, a few
miles from here. Both men were
On fair condition when the match
was arranged, with a slight advan-
tage in favor of Nelson, who had
been fighting right along and re-
quired but little extra training.
Since then both fighters have work
ed hard and trained to the highest
point Of perfection. The fight to-
night is only to be for six rounds
and this Is regretted by lovers Of
the sport. as it is their opinion that
q contest Of six rounds is not sufi-
ciently long and strenuous to de-
eide definitely the question of fight
ing superiority.
Figuring on purse of $4,000,
the sum will be divided so that Mel
son receives 45 per cent, win or
lose, while McGovern will receive
80 per cent. That will mean about
$7650 for Nelson and $4,000 for Nc
Govern.

Kid Parker of Denver, who is to
fight Maurice Thompson of Butte
before the Spokane Amateur Ath-
letic club the latter part of the
month, began actual training for
the go this morning. He has work
ing with him Kid Harrison, who not
only will be his second In the fight,
but figures he should get a 10 round
90 as a preliminary to the main
event.
Parker is hard worker while in
training. He takes his long 10 and
Is mne runs every morning and
then tests until afternoon when he
does inside work. He jumps rope,
does a little shadow work and box
es. Parker will box a little every
day from now on. He is training at

WHERE POSTAL DEFICIT is.
Ten Millions Year May Be Saved In
Mail CARVING.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Ten Million
dollars year, it is believed, will be
saved to the Government annually, as
. result of a change that Is apt to
be made in the manner of weighing
the quantity Of mail carried by the va.
rious railroads. Representative Muir.
dock discovered the error, which, 1t
is believed, has cost the Government
sixty million dollars since the present
system was adopted.
The practice has been to weigh the
mails going over a system Of ninety
days, but instead Of dividing the to.
tai thus gotten by ninety. seventy

daily average" The twelve Sundays
were excluded, and 'the daily average
OF course, has been made much great.

divisor, were used.
On the basis determined in this way
the railroads have been paid. and Mr..
Murdoch calculates that 1t has result.
ed in the Governments paying 16 per
cent more than it ought to have paid
This system has been practiced since
1873.
By the reform which Mr.. Murdoch
has proposed, it is believed 1000. 900
a year would be saved. which would
wipe out the annual deficit and de.
stroy the only pretext that is put
forth for increasing the second-class
rate.
The House Pastofice Committee will
take up the matter shortly.

"If the church Wishes" the Premier
said. there is still time to avoid bat,
tie. We offer her the law of 1881,
made for all Frenchmen, and, submit
ting thereto, she will have peace; but
otherwise, by seeking US, she shall
find US.
The failure of the Catholics, at the
express command of the Pope, to take
oath under this law of 1881, as re-
CURED by the new law separating
church and State, has brought on the
struggle between the Catholics and
the Government. Further services in
Paris by the Catholics became illegal
today and in other parts of France a
few days will bring the new law into
effect.

RICHARD POINTS THE WAY OUT
Declarations Made by Laymen Il
France Not Dlsobedience.

Paris, France.-There has been is
sued from the office of the archbishop
of Paris, Cardinal Richard, an impor
tant communication which will facili-
tate way out Of the present church
difficulty. This communication sets
forth that declarations made by lay.
men relative to worship are not in dis
obedience to the instructions of the
pope, provided their purpose is honest
ly to avoid disturbances, and admits
that such declarations do not infringe
upon the hierarchy of the church, as
the vatican has only forbidden clergy
men to carry out the required legal
formalities. This recognition of the
layman's right to make declaration
will permit of the carrying on of wor-
ship in accordance with the law, but
in the meantime the church officially
maintains its position Of not submit
ting to the state.

ARGUMENT OF SHIP men
An Important Question Never Passed
Upon the Regulators Of
Rail Rates.

Washington, D. C.-"The jurisdic-

representatives of various steamship
lines, who appeared before the inter
state commerce commission in the
hearing on the power of that body
over ocean-carryirg rates in connec-
ton with domestic rates.
A Careful Analysis.
They declared that careful analy-
sis of the law demonstrated clearly
that the Jurisdiction of the commits
sion ends at the waters edge when il
concerns shipments to ports of a
country not adjacent to the United
States. H. A. s. Franklin, the vice
president of the International Mercan-
tile Co., and William G. Choate, Of
New York, made the principal argu-
ments.
Never Passed Upon.
A large number OF steamship men
we're present. The question as to
whether the commission has the power
over rates made for foreign shipment
when such shipment Is to a port not
in adjacent foreign territory has
never been passed on.
