THOMPSON GETS A

Dick Hyland and Cyclone Thomp-
ICn fought twenty desperate rounds
In preamland Pavilion last night and
when the final gong had sounded
which ended the encounter Referee
Jack Welsh raised his hands over his
head to signify that he called the
SouI draw, thus dividing the hon
ors between the game fighters. Hy-
land had a lead over his opponent
throughout the greater portion OF the
fight on actual boxing points, but
Welsh always has a kindly feeling
for the man who is the aggressor,
and this was the quality which saw
ed Thompson the humiliation of de-
feat.
Persons who have seen Thompson
in a number of his fights were of the
opinion that he weakened himself in
making the ringside weight, as his
punches from the start seemed to
lack furnishing power. For seven
rounds Thompson's showing was a
disappointment, and he seemed in
much distress. As early as the fifth
round his seconds were giving him
stimuiants. Thompson commenced
to improve in the eighth round and
from that on he did not seem in dam
ger of being knocked out at any time.
His best blow was n straight left to
the head, which cut Hyland about
the mouth badly and gave his face Il
Luffy appearance. He seemed bad
Judge of distance at all times, many
of his blows going wide of their in
tended mark. That he did not have
his usual stamina was evidenced by
the fact that he seemed to fight him
self out In the first minute Of each
round, after which time there was
little steam behind his punches,
Hyland has not gained anything in
his cleverness for some time. He is
still slow and is far from being a
true hitter, which quality marks the
polished ring worksman. He deyot-

ed LOT of attention early in the
fight to the kidney punch which he
learned from Tommy West and which
he uses with marked success. He
soon had Thompson's left side livid
red. but he did not follow up this adj
vantage, abandoning that mode of at
tack before he had gone half the
Journey. He landed right and left
swings on Thompson's Jaw which
were enough to put any ordinary
fighter out of commission, but they
seemed to have no effect on the Cy-
clone, who kept boring in contin-
ually.
Neither man was knocked down
throughout the fight, although many
of the blows were hard enough to put
the ordinary man down. Hyland was
the favorite in the betting at all
times. At one time he was a Q to 10
public choice, but when the men en-
tered the ring the prevailing price
was 1-2 to 10. The men weighed

A concreted attack upon bachelors
is in progress all over the United

that bachelors are OF no earthly use

Court of Illinois, on damage suit ap-

PECULIAR EYES.
The Organs of Sight of the Spider
and the Snail.

The Organs of Sight of the Spider
and the Snail.
The next time you catch a spider try
to find the eight shiny little eyes at the
anterior end some above and some put
under the edge of what we may imag-
Inc to be its forehead. To examine
these parts to the best advantage hold
the spider In tweeZers, or 1t may be
better to use spider killed by being
dropped into bottle of diluted alcohol.
These eight eyes vary in arrangement
and in relative size in various species
of spiders-in some they may be ar
ranged in two rows, in other In three;
some may be very small and others
large and prominent, and so On-but
there they are, rather poor eyes, near
sighted, looking in several directions at
once, and the spider, which can never
shut any of them, is sure to see every
thing that approaches unless 1t Is
asleep, In which case the sight Is dead.
For some purposes 1t may be conven-
lent to have eyes that roll up and dis
appear at the approach of danger. And
these are exactly what the snail has,
situated at the end of two long and
sensitive palpi, or feelers. When all 10
quiet their owner extends these organs,
and you can see at their tips small
round knobs upon which the eyes are
placed. But if you touch one of the
palpi or even jar the snail a little the
eyes begin to back into these feelers
as the tip of glove finger may be
turned In, and they no longer see any
danger that may be lurking at hand

Pension Bill Voted Down.
HARRISBURG, March 6.

With hardly dissenting voice, the
house of representatives yesterday al
ternoon killed the teachers pension
bill, on second reading, aud the mem
bers mad a lot Of fun doing it.
Scarcely had the bill been read when
Representative Dunsmore, Republi
can, Of Tioga, offered an amendment
that not only teachers, but al, persons
attaining the age of 10 years. who had
for twenty-five years been good and
faithful citizens of the State, be made
eligible for the pension of $3.50 per
year which the bill provides. The house
accepted the amendment amid laughter
and cheers.
Representative Marvin, Republican,
of Pike, contributed his share to the
entertainment by following with an
amendment that, instead of teaching
thirty years, as the bill provided,
teachers should serve seventy five
years before being eligible for PEN
sions. With a whoop of merriment
this amendment was also adopted.
A third amendment was proposed by
Representative Pratt, Republican, OF
Allegheny, providing that men teach
era should be retired at the age of 60.
As the house was not playing any fav-
orites this was also tackled on the bill,
and at once drew forth point of ord
or from Representative Blakslee,
Democrat, of Carbon.
Blakslee presented what he termed
constitutional point of order, saying
that the bill was impossible of full
fllment as amended, for it provided
for retiring women at the age OF go,
and that no woman would ever admit
that she was 80.
Speaker McClain smiled broadly
and admitted that the point was we'll
taken, but nevertheless, decided to
submit it to the house.
In a mighty shout the members sus-
tanned Blakslee, and the bill fell.
There was little time from the mea-
sure's inception when it was not vir-
tually cretain it would fail. Not only
is there general sentiment against
civil pension lists among large pro-
portion Of the members, solely on the
merits of the question, but the con-
stitution is quoted as being against
any pensions except for military SER

him to drop from one hand by his fine
spun thread and then either catching
him in the other or gently compelling
him to climb back again by appar-
emily eating his own ladder.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
The Change From the Era When
Wives Were Taken by Force.

Marriage customs have changed ey-
erywhere with tie advance Of civiliZa-
ton. Anglo -Saxons In ancient times, 1t
is said, used TO capture their wives by
force from their fathers or their hus-
bands, it did not matter which.
This was before Augustine came to
preach Christianity Then purchase was
more common than capture. although
the latter seems TO have been frequent
enough to the reign of Ethelbert to
need regulation by law. BY this law
man might run away with a woman,
provided he afterward paid her pre-
vious owner, be he father or husband,
30 shillings If II was husband who
had thus been deprived of his wife, the
woman's captor had not only to pay
him the fine, but also to buy him an
other wife. In any case the stolen wo-
man belonged to her captor.
If man had purchased his bride In
tAe days of Ethelbert and afterward
concluded he had paid too much for
her, it was lawful for him to return her
to her former owner and claim again
the purchase price, provided that he
had not previously expressed satisfac-
ton by making the bride present on
the morning after the wedding.
The next step was the foster lien,"
when the bride price was paid on the
day of espousal and was supposed to
compensate the parent for the cost Of
bringing up his daughter. 1t seems.
however, that this soon fell into disre-
pute, as there was no law against the
father engaging his daughter to nu-
merous suitors, taking from each the
foster lien" and, of course, cheating
all but one on the wedding day, which
at that time was only the day of be-
trothal, when the suitor gave a wed"
or pledge for the future performance of
his contract. If the suitor did not claim
his bride within two years after the
wedding day, he forfeited all right to
her and to whatever money or goods he
had paid for her. If the woman and her
father broke their promises, the father
had to give the suitor four times as
much rs the sultOr had already paid
him
AS civilization advanced the bride
Price was given 20 the woman herself
and became her dowry, while nova
days the tables are frequently turned,
and the bride settles the money on her
husband.

THE QUESTION OF LIFE.
Mas Progress and the Books of the
Eighteenth Century.


In what mankind called progress"
the world was led by illusion, advanc-
ed by lies. Everybody hated work
which was the only health. Even the
preacher spoke dolefully Of "the curse
Of Adam" Everybody wanted TO be
rich, which meant unhappiness; every
body wanted TO be idle, which meant
death. Change was regarded as prog
ress, and to find one different from
oneself was to find one worse than
oneself. And with all these 1 sympa-

fore all was done dscerned that a
question Of morals was a question of
attitudes, and vice related to the equa-
tor. Cruelty was a creature Of the
thermometer; the tropics tortured
what the arctics nursed. Happiness
was born of contrast when it wasn't

merchants and gamblers. There was
but one difference-when the mer-
chants resources ended his credit end
ed; when the gamblers resources end
ed his credit began. When the gam
bier was down his fellow gamblers
helped him; when the merchant was
down his fellow merchants fell upon
him and tore him like wolves.
Progress? A wise man proved it by
pointing to a railroad and asking me
20 remember stagecoaches. l asked
why it was better to travel 900 miles
] in n day than to travel ninety. He
said one could reach Chicago in a day
and night. | replied that one couldn't
reach Calcutta in a day and night He
said that medicine and surgery had

weaklings to wed weaklings and pro-
duce weaklings, which was progressing

if l favored death. l grew angry and

A NEED, JUST LIKE SLEEP.
IL the Instiact of Natural Death Born
In Mankindt

The most convincing fact in proof Of
the existence in man of an instinct Of
natural death seems to me that report
ed by Toyarsky in relation TO an old
woman. In the lifetime Of ToXarsky |
begged IN acquaintance of his to OBJ
tain for me the details of this most in
teresting case, of which | had found
but an incomplete statement. Tox-
arSky unfortunately could add nothing
to what he had published in his article.
l believe, however, that | have found
the source from which his instance had
been taken.
In his book upon the physiology Of
taste. which had its day of celebrity,
BIillUt-Savarin relates the following:
4 had 4 g"eat-aunt, ninety-three years
Oil, WHO WAS dying Although for some
time confined TO her bed, she had re

ton was only betrayed by her loss Of

ness for me, and | was near her bed,
aifcctiOIat"ly ready to wait on her,
which did not prevent my watching
her with the philosophical eye | have
ever had for the things and events sur
rounding me. Are you there, nephew

for this last favor. If ever you reach
my age You will find that death be-
comes a need, just like sleep
These were her last words. Half an
hour later she had fallen asleep forev-
er. We Enthusiastically have here an in

Among the more important leglSla-
tive propositions that died with the
fifty-ninth congress, and most of which
received the sanction of the president
and the country, are: The eight-hour
bill which organized labor has been
asking for these many years. The anti
injunction bills, of which there were
several. Swamp land reclamation.
Codifcation of the revised federal
statutes. Modification of the Chinese
exclusion act. Copyright revision. Re
duction of the tariff on Philippine
products entering the United States.
The bill TO make Porto Ricans citiz-
ems. Publicity in campaign affairs.
The Crumpacker bill to afford court
review of fraud order issued by the
postoffice department. Federal child
labor legislation. Legislation to pro-
tect free labor from contract labor.
Legislation regulating the interstate
traffic in Intoxicating liquors. Most of
these measures will re-appear at the
next session, but it is a discredlt to
congress and to this nation, that the
Sugar and Tobacco Trusts prevented
justice to the Philippines i'll giving
them such legislation as would place
them on their feet and revive their
industries, hy reducing the tariff on
Philippine products entering the

The notorious railway mail graft,
carrying with it excessive payments
