MERCHANTS READY
 FOR HEAVY TRADE
BESSEMER BUSINESS MEN WILL HONOR ALL CHECKS AND ARE| PREPARED TO MAKE THE| CHANGE IN CASH.

Bessemer, November S.-(Special.) )--Ths ing forward to a large business next
 week as there are a great many large payl days. Red mountain will pay off and this
 is one of the largest pays in the dis trict. There will be pay days through
 out the entire week. but they will bel
 small compared to the ones on Satur-
 day.
 It Is supposed that most of the com
 panies will pay of in cheeks and a good
 many of the workmen seem to be under.
 the impression that this will not be as good as the actual money. As mat ter of fact, most of the merchants of the city are making preparations to be ready with the actual cash, with which to cash these checks, when they are pre- scented by their customers for the pur- chase of goods or in payment of an account. Of course, this will necessarily mean that great deal of money will have to be kept on hand Saturday by the merchants, but several of the leading ones stated last evening that they wer 6 going to do their utmost to accommodate their customers and their friends oh that day, and 1t is not believed that there
 will be as much trouble experienced in
 this connection as some people seem to imagine.
 If man that has been paid off in checks comes into the city and goes to merchant to whom he is indebted say. , to the amount of $1o and wants to pay s on account he can simply hand it over and receive 50 in change in cash. If a. man goes into store with cashier s
 check for $l0 and trades g worth, mer-
 chants will either give him the goods and $S In change or else he has missed a sale.
 The merchants appreciate the fact, of
 course. that this method will require them to have a great deal of ready cash ond hand during the day, but it is thought
 that they will be able to take care of the trade

GOSSIP OF PUGS
 THE BOXING GAME
BY COLIN M'DoUGALL.

New York, November 3.--With three apparently unbeatable champions In their classs, it would seem that really high class fighting would be a scarce article for a time. It is all very well for Jeffries and Cans to retire and leave the heavy and lightweight cham ponships to be scrambled for but the trouble Is the great American public will not take these kinds of champions seriously, and small blame to them considering the kind of near-champ- ions. especially in the heavyweight dl- yision we have been having.
 Abe Attell now seems to have placed himself in the Jeff-Gans class of cham pions. For a time the light of the Ghetto" has been rather a clever fight CT than a .sleep-producing hitter, put his last fight with Weeks has demon- strated that he is there with the punch again and that there are narcotics Tn his little glove. It would be hard to nick one of his weight who could give Abie good argument.
 John l.. Sullivan's friends Will De glad to learn that he is now pros perous He stopped drinking abso- lutelv three years ago. Since that time he has been making an average or nearly five hundred week by de- livering monologue and showing few of the old sparring stunts on the stage. He has more ready money to- dav than he ever had at one time when he was champion of the world Owen Moran, the little English fight CT now with us, has brains as well as muscles. He does all his hard traih- ing in a warm. smoke tainted rooii' Why? Let him tell 1t.

the door of hope" so far as he is con
 cerned, is closed tighter
 Local club managers have at last placed a ban on all colored pugilists. and in the future they will be barred from appearing at any of the club stags.
 The recent action of the officials of the Armory Athletic club of Boston in barring all colored fighters from appearing in bouts at the club stags
 was responsible for the club managers
 here acting accordingly. The local clubs that have decided not to use col- ored pugilists are the Long Acre Attn
 letlc club. Sharkey Athletic club, Browns Gymnasium Athletic associa- ton, New Polo Athletic association and , Consolidated Athletic club. Billy New man, president of the New Polo Ath- letic association, says he is pleased to see the club managers bar the colored boxers, as they are a detriment to the sport. He also stated that no club should run bouts over six rounds. Tommy Burns is to meet Gunner Moir before the National Sporting club in London on or about November 26 un- less there Is a postponement to enable the American fighter to get in shape after his sea voyage.
 There is the keenest interest In Eng land about the match, for Englishmen believe that in Moir they have a man who will bring back the recollections of the glories achieved by Jem Mace. They are confident that Moir will tri- umph over Burns.
 An attempt has been made in some quarters to belittle the match on the ground that Burns has not made his title clear to the American champion ship. It is said that he ought to beat Jack Johnson before posing as the champion. Burns says he will fight Johnson as soon as he returns from England. If he is ambitious enough to seek the worlds chamionship previous to meeting Johnson the negro should be more than satisfied, for if Johnson then beats Burns Little Arthur will
 have all the glory at one fell swoop. If Moir wins over Burns, then John son will not have a chance, as the National Sporting club has drawn the color line and will not again put ne- groes against white opponents, al-
 though not objecting to match be- tween two negroes. Therefore 1t can
 be seen that Johnson should wish Burns
 good luck.
 Jim Driscoll, the featherweight cham
 pion of England Is undecided about coming to America to join the big colony of British boxers now in this country. Driscoll not long ago &C.,
 cepted an offer from Charley Horan to
 come here and engage in a series of
 bouts but he evidently has been ap-
 preached by several other managers.
 with the result that he now has an
 exaggerated idea of his importance. He
 Is said to be holding on for big money.
 As Driscoll is declared to be the best
 boy at the weight that England ever
 produced, it is regrettable that he does not visit his Queensberry cousins. He
 Is the lad who beat the redoubtable
 Joe Bowker and who also has de- cision over Johnny Summers to his credit. Summers says there is much doubt as to the merit of the decision, but as Driscoll has the referees word for it he has the better of the argu- ment.
