WHERE BOXING
IS STILL LAWFUL
Limited Bouts in Five Cities
and PTize-Fiehting in
Nevada

Nationally, prizehghting, one Of the
Oldest and grandest Of sports has been
ostracized. Baltimore, Philadelphia
Denver and Los Angeles and Indian
apolis are the only five cities of any
importance where the boxers can hold
forth. In Baltimore the bouts go Is
rounds in Philadelphia a limit Of 6
rounds. with no decision being allowed;
in Denver a limit of 20 rounds. in Los
Angeles limit of 25 rounds and In In
dianapolis a limit OF 10 rounds with
l0-ounce. not the regulation bounce
gloves being worn by the principals.
Nevada alone is open to the pugilists
to go it to a finish" And it's wholly
and solely for advertising reasons that
prize-fishts. Not since Bob Fdtzsim-
.poppycock to refer to the occasional
limited round bouts in Baltimore or in
Philadelphia, Denver. Los Angeles and
Indianapolis. and small towns like
Terre Haute, Peoria, Saginaw, Pueblo
and that row OF New England hamiets
as prize-fights.
They are boxing contests. pure and
simple. The old guard engaged in
prizt -figths. Not since Bob Fitzsim-
mons wrested the heavy weight crown
from James ]. Corbett out in Carson
City Nevada, March II. 1897. in IA
rounds, has the country had a
real, bona-fide prize-hght until Labor
Day last, when. out in Goldheld, same
State as Carson City, Joe Cans and
Battling Nelson went it for AZ rounds,
the end coming when the latter was
disqualified by Referee George Siler of
fouling his opponent. There was the
Jack Root Marvin Hart Finish fight
out in Reno, same state as Carson
City and Goldheld. July 3, 1905. but,
punkness Of opponents considered 1t
wasn't much Of an event. So. for all
but the state of Nevada can prize
fighting be said to have been stamped
out.

SKIN TORTURES CHILDREN
Obstinate Case of Eczema Covered Little Girls Limbs with Running Sores Poison Oak Made Boys Hands and Arms a Mass of Tor turing Sores Sufferers Soon Re- Iieved and Completely Cured Grateful Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES A
 HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

"Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physi- clan for an obstinate case of eczema, l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physicians prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuti- cura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble.
 In July of this year little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them with the Cuticura Oint- ment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are Q valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from doctor. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmount, Waldens Ridge, Tenn, Oct. 13, 1905."

ENTERTAINMENTS
New r,nvcn Thcntrc.

Possibly certain unhappy girls may Lerive a bit of comforting inspiration from the conduct of Peggy O'Mara Peggy is of Irish extraction, therefore pretty and endowed with ready wit and wholesome unconventionality, as sure ly as she is tender and affectionate. Her fun-loving proclivities often called smiling rebukes from her mother, the Widow O'Mara but it was not until @ marriage project loomed big before the girl ttiat there was open rebellion. Mrs. IO'Mara looked covetously at Lord Crackenthorpe as husband for her daughter. Peggy didn't wish to marry him, or anybody else So she gathered her pretty brow in thoughtful conspir- acy and at last evolved brilliant scheme. Why not get her mother mar ried to Lord Crackenthorpe? Then he couldn't marry Peggy. A trait of Peg gy's is to act the minute an idea strikes Ter. Consideration of consequences comes afterwards. So in the affair of
 her mothers marriage. Peggy bought it about, but not until she herself had pretended an elopement and had mud
 dled matters so there was all manner of bewilderment and consternation, the Iundoing of which led to no fewer per- picking predicaments than had the per-
 petration of the matrimonial plot it. self But Peggy gained her end, as perhaps other girls somewhere else
 may. If they don't want to marry 8
 man, pass him off on their mothers.
 New York went wild over Miss Cros- man as Peggy. It knew her as "All-of- a-Sudden Peggy" and flocked to the
 Bijou theater to see her. "All-of-a- Sudden Peggy" personifled by Henri
 etta Crosman, will be at the New Ha- ven theater tonight. And who so well as Miss Crosman, cleverest of all com- ediennes, could depict this merry, mis-
 chievous and gay Irish girl, whose needless pranks compel laughter and affection? No free list. There has been large advance sale.

POPE SEES BISHOP o,GoRMAN.
Discusses With Him Archbishop Ire- lands Words on French TronhIc.


 Rome, March 17.-Pope Plus to-day received in private audience the Rt. Rev. Thomas OGorman, bishop of Sioux Falls, s. D., which is in the arch diocese of St. Paul During the conver- sation Pope Plus said that Archbishop Ireland's discourse last December on Church and State in France" was 8 strong presentation of the France-Vat- ican conflict. Although l know it caused some displeasure,' his holiness said, Archbishop Ireland was correct as to the remote causes of the conflict when he said that the French clergy and leading Catholics failed by not following the advice of my illustrlous predecessor"
 Pope Plus generally praised the Amer ican episcopate for its stand on the question between France and tho church, He spoke in the strongest way concerning the expulsion from France of Monsignor Montsgnini, secretary of the papal nunciature, adding;
 While under that grief my first con- solation was a cablegram from Ameri- ca. Guess from wbom?"
 After a pause his holiness himself an swered the question, saying: From Archbishop Ireland"
 The pope also spoke of the church in the Philippines and compared the att titude of the United States there with that of France, saying that the action of the United States was the way gov .ernments should settle mixed political and religious questions. His holiness asked Monsignor O'Gorman about President Roosevelt and expressed pleasure to hear that he was satisfied with the solution of the Philippine question. He also requested Monsignor O'Corman to present his regards to President Roosevelt.
 The bishop asked Pope Plus to re- ceive Mrs, Douglas Robinson, during her visit to the city, The pontiff an swered; Naturally, I shall be delight ed. All doors shall be open to her, You must accompany her"
 After his audience with the pope Mgr. O'Gorman visited Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papa! secretary of state, in his new apartments and congratulate ed him, saying: You left art behind, l but got into comfort"

CHARLIE cLARKs EYEGLASSES.

 How They Disappeared. How the
 Search Brought on "Brainstorms"
 and How They Were Found.
 A long, tedious and exasperating search for a pair of eyeglasses took place in the main reading room of the Tontine hotel yesterday afternoon. They did not mysterlously disappear as most things do, but just dropped out of sight before the eyes of a dozen perusers of papers, who for a moment had taken their interest from the lat est news of the day. and rested it upon a little joyful play between Charles Clark, the proprietor of the Church street cafe, and "Lttle George" White, as the precocious son of the Tontine's host is generally referred to. The i glasses reposed serenely on Mir. Clark's aquiline nasal protuberance until Lit tile George, squirming suddenly and throwing up a hand, touched them and caused them to fall, Every one said, | Sit still, don't move, you'll step on them" The advice was followed and | the search commenced. There were a couple of drummers, two or three busi- ness men, several friends of MT. Clark, a newspaper man, a porter, Clerk Skel- ly and several small boys engaged be- | fore long. It was thought, of course, the glasses would be found in the folds of MT. Clark's coat or on the floor close to his chair. This, however did not happen to be the case. Every one looked everywhere for them. Several boxes of matches were burned up and every square inch of the reading room looked over without success. The waste basket, which stood several feet away, 1 was gone through a dozen times and the lids of the cuspdores lifted while the porter swept the floor and Little i George" White and his friends dirtied their hands and soied their Sunday suits by going on their hands and knees in the effort to locate Mir Clark's sec- ondary battery of optics. When all this was unsuccessful Mir. Clark went through his clothes, even to his under- shirt, and also felt through the clothes of Little George" This resulting in failure, Mr. Clark looked in his hat the porter looked on the globes of the elec- trio lights. Mir. Skelly went over and looked in the cigar case, every one felt in his pockets and other impossible places, but no glasses appeared. As a last resort a combined assault was made on the waste basket. Still no glasses.
 Here signs of "brainstorms" were ev- ident in several of tue searchers, and it was agreed to sit down and talk il over quietly. V
 Five minutes. afterward M. c, Kee. nan walked plump and plenty from the dining room into the reading room after a hearty dinner. He was quite satisfied with himself and the world, and this of course, is not saying he is conceited Mir. Keenan is quite a modest man The eyeglass situation was explained tc him, Why don't you feel in youl trousers?" said Mir. Keenan to Mir Clark, By golly" exclaimed the lat, ter, you've given me an idea.' Dowr
 went his hands to the bottom of hi' trousers. They were turned up, and II the fold of the right leg were the glass
 es. He had once lost and found a hal
 dollar the same way
