EN E Birthday is so universally
En celebrated, it is interesting
DE Ii to note an instance OF the
omission of this popular
custom. Only those who have care
fully studied the political history of
the country can have just idea of
the condition of affairs that existed
In 1896. 1t was the last year of
Washington's second Administration.
The Father of His Country was about
to retire to private life; and Il was at
the very close of a public career as
honorable and useful as that of any
other patriot In the worlds history
that he suffered such abuse as might
be heaped upon a corrupt and selfish
political boss"
The trouble arose out of what is
known as Jays treaty. The relations
between England and the United
States had been intolerably bad. and
President Washington sent John Jay,
then Chief Justice. to England to
make a treaty. Mr. Jay had to take
what he could get. and that was a
treaty which pleased no one and
which was regarded as abominable by
all those who, with Mr.. Jefferson, fav-
ored the alliance with France.
But Washington, though by no
means better satisfied than others,
held to the opinion that any treaty
was better than none, and determined
to ratify it If the Senate would con-
sent to do it. He did so, although
probably seven-eighths of the people
were opposed 20 the treaty; and the
result-showed his wisdom.
Always before that year Congress
had adjourned early on the 22d of
February TO go in a body TO present
the respects of the members to the
President and congratulate him on
his birthday. So high did the party
spirit run that resolution to follow
this custom was opposed and voted
down.

Mccarthy Beats Taylor

There was plenty of fighting in the
preliminary, in which Tommy Nc
cisively beat Roscoe Taylor in IL
rounds Mccarthy did the job in a
neat manner, and in the eleventh
round Referee Tiv Kreling stopped the
fight when Taylor was reeling around
the ring, completely >at the. mercy OF
his opponent.
The fight was a good one with
plenty Of action. At times both men
ming. but as the battle progressed Nc
CarthY's superior knowledge of ring
tactics and cleverneSS forged him to
the front, and toward the end of the
fight Taylor's only chance looked to
be IN his ability to land a hay maker.
The defeated boxer was poorly
handled boy. and probably with
have been able to have scored a
knockout He showed that he pos
sessed a knockout punch, but he did
blow. On the other hand. Taylor
seemed unable to defend himself and
Mccarthy hit him at will, especially
with left jab. with which he brought
boxers nose and mouth. Taylor sell
dom varied his punches. He used
nice shift and also a right cross. but
he overlooked many opportunities to
score for the body.
Taylor shook up Mccarthy in the
opening round and~had him in bad
way. In the second round the fighting
was fast. Mccarthy scored with a
hard right and went after his man.
In a slugging match Taylor fioored his
man. The brick top was aware OF his
opponents punch and contented him
self with staying away after this, and
he left handed him at will after four
or five rounds had been fought. In
the tenth Mccarthy had his man in
bad way and the bell saved him. Tay-
Tor was weak in the eleventh. and had
no chance when the referee stopped
the fight.
