large ensemble of singers. Even the
chorus, it is said, was chosen with alb

ENGLISH HEAVYW'G'T
CHAMPIONSHIP
FIGHT
Will be Pulled Off This Even
ing in London-Many Bets
Are Posted.
A..eciated Pres. Cable to The Eve.i,s

Asseciated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
London. Feb 25.-Final prepara-
tions were concluded this afternoon
for the battle for the English heavy
weight championship between Gunner
Moir. the present holder of the title,
and Tigor Smith, the Welsh-Indian
fighter. The battle will begin at 9
o'clock this evening before the Ma
tional Sporting club and will go TWEEN
ty rounds. The fight is for a purse
of $1,000 and a side bet of $4,000.
Many bets are being posted on the
result, with Moir strong favorite.
Smith, who has been after the title
for some time, is Welshman and was
a sergeant-major in the Eleventh
Hussars, stationed at Mohow, India,
until last September, when he bought
his discharge and returned to England.
Prior to leaving Wales for India Smith
became the middle and heavyweight
champion of the British army. In
India he met all corners and defeated
them. his greatest victory being over
Jack McAuliffe, the American, whom
he defeated in a battle for the champ
ionship of India and stake of 10000
rupees, at Calcutta. He is said to
be fierce fighter in the ring earning
his name because of the fact that he
always betrays tigerish ferocity in
his fights.
Despite the reputation of the
Tiger" the sporting public is back
ing Moir heavily and the general opin-
ion is that he will stop the indian
champion in few rounds. NOR won
the title of heavyweight champion of
England by reason of his defeat of
Jack Palmer. Of Newcastle, at the
National Sporting club last fall.
The winner of tonight's fight will
probably be matched to fight Phila-
delphia Jack O'Brien, the American
heavyweight. The battle will probab-
ly take place before the National
Sporting club in June for a purse of
$500.

The Effect Of Sunday Excursions.

To behold the arrival and de-
parture of q Sunday Excursion
such as those here last Sunday
from Keokuk and Hannibal per-
suades one to believe that they
are a detriment to the moral well
fare of the whole people and more
especially to Negro folk. We
have observed them both here
and else wher and are fully per-
suaded to declare them an lrrop
ara lie Sill and an abomination to
society as we'll as the cause of
great poverty. If the fare from
here to Hannibal be only 1925
round trip, each person feels it
intuitively his duty as we'll as his
privilege to spend not lesn than
IS 90 on the side. If there were
1000 excursionists it would reach
the astonishing sum of IS, 600

groes think of it, where does the
money go? Many of you antici-
pating the II orrow excursion. will
not pay your SATURDAY night bills
You leave your church and fam
lies for what? Non sense. The
train is usually on the road most
of the time. The ride per Sc is
no pleasure on account of the
large crowd, many of whom are
profane and drunken. Behold
the situation and let us recede.
w beheld awful sights last Sun
day at the Wabash. Women aud

The Forum notes these de cadent
things in order that you may
take cognizance and help to stop.
Again we ask where does the
money go? The train is owned
by the whites, the engineer is
white, firemen, brakemen, con-
ductor, baggagemen, newsboys
yea all are white. Aud too, these
same people, who take your
money. do not Want to see you
earn an honest dollar.
But even if we do go on excur'
sions occasionally, let us act as
people in a civilized country and
not as heathens. The Legisla-
ture would do we'll to pass law
prohibiting Sunday Excursions.
We desire to see our people enjoy

class Americans and Illinoians.

form them that st. Martin Parish
would 20 solid for Sanders. be-
cause both factions were supper
ting him, the imam from st. Mry.'
1t looks as il Mr.. Morrow is not
thoroughly posted Oh the situation
in this parish. Mr. Morrow would
be nearer the thing if he had said
that the candidates, or some of the
candidates of both sides are with
Sanders, we would not dispute
that fact, as that might be posi-
bic, although we have some doubts;
but, as for the people, they are not
owned, neither controlled by any
faction, and all the candidates for
local Offices are trying hard to get
the votes for themselves and they
are not too sure of themselves.
We believe, however, that large
majority of the voters of this pa
IRISH are going to support the Pei
lerin ticket. We believe that Pei
lerin and his ticket will carry every
ward Of this parish, that every OIL
Ger on the Pellerin ticket will be
elected from Constable to Sheriff.
And from the news We have, which
we consider, the most reliable,
Pellerin will carry the parish by
the largest majority ever carried
by any candidate in this parish
for the last thirty years. Why, IN
talking with the masses of the vo-
ters they all seem TO be for Pei
ierin, with the exception OF a few
scattering voters that BrOussard
