There are the ward ~DrotnerS, Denny
and Jack, who carried the name of
New Jersey to the California coast,
and they were good boys, but they are
not In the game today. They have
taken up other pursuits. And speaking
of the Ward boys, there is Billy Potts,
who managed one of the boys for a
time. He was the central figure in
every bout held in this State. He has
retired from the padded mitts and
covered posts and squared circles and
is conducting a grocery store over in
Elizabeth. ! have already told you
what Charley Hankins. of South Jer-
sey, Is doing-he is a preacher and is
doing well.
The Handler boys are never heard of
any more. Apparently they are as
dead. as Charley Norton, who came to
this city from the other side and made
some money, but lost 1t all. Then there
is Strong and Cole, the husky fellows
who made Trenton lawmakers sit up
and take notice when they permitted
the game to flourish in the capital.
The Gibbons boys have passed away,
with the exception of one. and he is
over In Long Island somewhere con-
Quoting a hotel. Tim Breen saved his
fighting money and bought property
in Belleville and is living in this city
in easy fashion. Jim Glynn is never
heard OF. Jack McAuliffe is over in
Brooklyn and New York stacking the
cards.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST WHISKY.
All Temperance Agencies to Unite
in Work for Statewide
Prohibition.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.


: RICHMOND, Va. November q, 1908.
Whatever doubt there may have been
in the minds of the people of the state
at large regarding the question of state
wide prohibition movement, it has dis
appeared within the last week. The Bap-
lists of the state held convention in
this city and adopted resolutions which
pledge that denomination to a campaign
in the cause of temperance, and Incl
dentally referred to the death of Sena-
tor Carmack of Tennessee, who was de.
clared to have sealed his faith with his
blood The Baptists of the state are
powerful as a denomination. and the min
listers returned to their homes pledged
to urge their members to pay up their pol
taxes and to ''be ready for the struggle
when it shall come" The language OF
the resolutions carries no other meaning
than that the temperance element in the
churches of that denomination is de
termined to force the fighting from this
time on
Then. too. the Methodist conference
which was in session in Norfolk took
precisely the same course. This latter
denomination. which is as influential as
the Baptists. has for some years been
in the fray. and they are standing to-
sether in a manner that indicates that
when the time comes to vote on the ques-
ton of licensing liquor In this state an
essentially solid vote may be expected
from that source. These two denomina-
tions are not to be regarded as merely
factors representing the church. hut they
will lend their financial aid to the scheme
and the ministers will take the stump in
behalf Of suppression of the liquor evil
In this connection it is but fair to say
that the liquor men of the state are liv-
ing strictly up to the law certainly In
this section. The dives have beer
cleaned out. there are numbers of places
which refuse to sell to confirmed drunk.

ASTHMA EASILY CURED
Discovery.

D19COvCIys
In spite of the fact that the majority OF asth-
ma sufferers are inclined toward the belief that
asthma Is incurable. the statement Is mace
without qualification that the only positive and
permanent cure for this distressing disease IS
the celebrated specific. known TO the medical
profession as ascatco and dispensed since Its
discovery a short time ago. by the Austrian
Laboratory - West 18th street New York city.
Chronic cases of asthma in all parts Of the
country have been permanently cured by this
wonderful preparation. which is taken by the
patient in his or her home. without necessitat-
ing a change Of climate, which is foolishly sup
posed to he necessary.
The demand for ascatco in Washington has
caused the directors Of the Austrian Laboratory
Of 50 West 18th street, New York city, to supply
Ocram's drug store with quantity OF the
ureparation-a fifty size for mild cases. and
the 81 size, sufficient for one months treatment
and which will cure chronic cases with "a
niditv that will simply astonsh the patient.

Wallace. who says its a felony to sell
cigar or a box of chocolates on Sun
