to the Boxing Game.

San Francisco. March 1.-Jack Gleason.
the baseball man, wants to get into the
thick of the frenZied fisticuff whirl. Glea-
son met Nolan and Selig, managers of
Nelson and Cans respectively, Friday
night and told them he would give a
purse of $4,000 for the 4ans-Nelson fight

ring at the new baseball park on July 4
and make money out of the venture. No
Ian said he would not recede from his
demand that Cans weigh 133 pounds at
the ringside in fighting costume. Selg
said Cans would agree to weigh stripped
at the ringside but no other way.
Said Gleason then: 'If Nolan will agree
to the weight terms as proposed by Selig.

HARVARD is SILENT.
Says Nothing About Football Game
With Vale Next FALL.

New Haven. March 31.-YaIe football
officials regretfully left for their Easter
vacation on Wednesday without having
heard from Harvard relative to a game
for next season. Yale custom has it that
the football schedule shall be announced
before the Easter vacation. The list Of
games which Yale will play is complete
with the exception Of the Harvard match
which it is taken for granted will be-
played since the report of the Harvard
athletic committee was given favorably
to the game.
The last game outside of the Harvard
match to be decided upon is the new con-
test with Washington and Jefferson Uni
versity. which is given a place on the
Yale schedule for the first time This col
lege will be played here on Saturday.
Nov. .. the date usually given to West
Point. The military cadets will be played
a week later than usual. Yale will not
arrange a game with Columbia If that
university succeeds in getting the sport
reinstated and Penn State has also been
cut off because the Yale-Penn State
match was rough last fall.
If the Harvard match is not arranged
a movement will be made by the faculty
not to have another big match substitute
ed in its place. Some of the faculty men,
hers think that one big game of the i'm
portance of the Yale-Princeton contest is
enough for a single season.
Yale will not follow Harvard's example
in giving up spring practice. Captain
Riglnw stated before leaving for his

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. An Americas Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
il is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets is they think 1t
will soon correct itself And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they lead to diabetes or
Brights disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Americas
people testify to permanent cures.
A. A. Willis, a well known farmer,
living just outside of Americas, says:
81 believe that your pills are all that
is claimed for them. l had kidney
troubles and backache, from which !
had been a sufferer for many years.
After lying or sitting in one position
for any length of time I could hardly
get up on account of the dull heavy
pain in the small Of my back. At
times l seemed to almost lose the use
of my back, and would have to take
hold of something for support. The
kidney secretions were disordered,
being dark and full of sediment, and
of a strong odor. l used many diff
ferent remdies but without much,
if any, benefit until l got Doans Kid
ney Pills. Since using them my back
feels strong. The pain has left it,
and the kidney secretions have also
been restored to a normal condi-
ton.

it has resulted so successfully that
the ideas of Froebel now form a
standard feature of the regular course

this city through the municipal edu-
cational system. This means that
the public schools of Columbus have
in their care the children OF the city

tie tots of and years being taken
in hand and trained until they are
16, II or Is years old.
There have been numbers of priv
ate hndergartens in Columbus for
years, and they have done a most use
full work, but it was only compare
lively recently that the Columbus
school board took official cognizance
of the adyisability and necessity of
this initial form of education, and at
one stroke established a kindergar-
ten department in every public school
building in the city.
The kindergartens are largely at

ITALIANS SHOT UP
TOWN FOR REVENGE

PITTSBURG,, PA, Oct. 19.-(Spec-
iaD-The little town of Wilson, on
the Monongahela river, about 20
miles above this city, was almost de-
populated a few days ago, as a re-
suit of an attack in true Western
fashion made on the town by several
hundred Italians The Italians, all
of them intoxicated, literally "shot
up the town until the 1900 inhabit-
ants fed in terror
There was an Italian birthday par
ty the night before which was attend
ed by all the Italians in the neigh
borhood. Large quantities of bad
whiskey were served. Each of the
Italians was armed, and smarting
under the threats that have been
made against the Italian colony on
account of the Black hand outrages
the foreigners started out for re-
venge.
Anaonio Piggi, one of the more re-
spectacle of the Italians of the town
demonstrated with his countrymen,
and a moment later fell to the earth
with half a dozen bullets in his
body. He is in the McKeesport Hos
pital dying.
