The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the Jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but If scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an fgnoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
hope to the public parallel fact; that
tho seQmack is the most vulnerable organ
out of $he prize ring as well as in it. We
protect Pur hSaAs, threats, feet and lungs,
but theNAsfnanb\we are utterly indiffer-
ent to, until diseAsAin the solar plexus

Three Prices Prevail in State-New
 Haven Neither High Nor Low.

A special dispatch to the Waterbury American from Washington says:
 The second report of Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith of the bureau of corporations on the petroleum industry contains a number of tables showing the price paid for oil in various towns. In Connecticut there are three classes, namely, towns served from New York harbor refneries via Wilson Point. towns supplied from New York harbor refineries via East Providence, and towns supplied from the same refiner- ies via New London The brand of oil is all water white. and the prices are to retail dealers, in bulk.
 Tn the first class the following cities pay cents per gallon delivered. New Haven, Hartford, New Britain, An sonia, Middlctown, Cromwell, Hamden and Plainville. The following pay s.5 cents per gallon: Manchester, Rock vile and Westport. Those that pay 10 cents per gallon are: Bridgeport, Wa terbury, Danbury, Meriden, Naugatuck. Norwalk, Stamford, Torrington, Essex. Litchfield, New Milford and Ridgefield. The lowest price paid is S5 in the towns of Somers and Thompsonville. The freight rate to these towns is s cents per 100 pounds to the following cities New Haven. Bridgeport. Stamford, Hamden and Westport. The rest all pay 10 cents per 100 pounds.
 The second class Is composed of Putnam, Danielson and Killingly, md the price is 10 cents per gallon, while the freight rate is g cents per 1oC pounds. In the third class nre the towns of New London, Norwich, wiln- mantle and Mantle. A uniform price of 10 cents per gallon is charged fin these towns, while the freight rates vary as follows.

 prime duty of the navy would be to quit the shore. find the enemy's fleets and destroy them before they could each our own shores. As Lord Charles
 eresford once expressed 1t, declar- alton of war should be accompanied by the announcement that the enemy's fleet is destroyed, or bottled up in its own harbors. The Japanese furnished capital illustration of the idea, mak- ing 1t the more pronounced by strike at the Russian fleet, which act of it. self constituted declaration of war. Should the enemy reach our shores, dodging the fleet or perhaps meeting and destroying it on the high seas, then the defence of the country would fall to the army in the Notifications, reinforced by the harbor defences of the navy. mines, monitors and torpedo boats.
 The problem that is raised in the absence of the battleships. thus con- cerns the whole scheme of national de- fence and not the navy alone. The government would indeed be embar- rassed If 1t were compelled to engage in war while the major part of it's naval strength was in a distant sea, The situation at the outbreak of the Rebellion furnishes an example of that kind; although. fortunately, the new confederacy had no navy of its own with which to strike. But, in such a situation, with the coast defence adequately equipped and thoroughly organized, the danger of invasion or of any serious injury from attack on the country's chief ports, would be re- duced to a minimum and, in theory al least, should be nullified.-Providence Journal.
