TN dealing with this division Of the
prize ring 1t is my intention to pre-
. sent what / believe to be the irs,
correct and authentic history Of the
class and chronology OF it's champions
In America from the time that Marquis
OF Queensberry rules were first generally
adopted The featherweight class pre-
sents more complexities and contradic-

than all the rest OF them put together.
From the early days OF the class clear
down to. the present time there has
yer been a hxed weight limit. Cham
pions have fought for n defended tho
title at a weight ranging from IA low
as llI1t pounds to l2 pounds. Som OF
them have won 1t at lis pounds and d.
Tended or lost 1t at l2 pounds. or vice
versa.
Unlike the lightweight or the middle
weight class. in which championships
have always been fought for at a weight
generally recognized as being the limit
nj the class. the weights In the feather
weight class have been subjected 10 the
whims OF each and every fighter who
was able. by trick or strategem. to have
incorporated in the night articles the
weight which he favored. II ID high

an unvarying. uniform weight to which

the crabs. the grouches. while the fell
lows who tower six feet and ever and
possess the bulk of a city block are the
slow. amiable. e~asygoing men. When
occasion demands. they can exert an
enormous strength, but when II comes
TO vitality. the nervous force that counts
for endurance. they are not In II with
the Erocky. conceited. fiery little men
who, will fight at the drop OF the hat
and keep on fighting until the hat is
worn out completely from being dropped
SO much.
The lighters Of the feather weight class
are more perfect specimens Of physical
manhood than their larger fellows.
They are fighting machines which are
more compact, In which each part Is As
strong as every other part. They gem
orally have broad shoulders. compare
lively speaking, small waste and ioins,
lively speaking. and tshM n IN waists
ahd ankles. A heavyweiGht' wins his
battles by virtue OF his sledgehammer
blows; a feather weight his by reason Of
his greater skill and endurance. As a re-
suit their battles are generally more
interesting than a contest between
heavyweights would be. It lasts longer
and gives opportunity for the display
OF science and the art of ring general
ship; II is often as much q battle Of
wits as a contest Of physical force.
Need Less Training.
Featherweights arc nearly always In
good condition and need to do less
training to 1T themselves for their
battles. They don't have to take )ff
pounds OF superhuous, %hampering flesh.
AS a result. they are more evenly
matched than fighters Of larger bulk.
and the few times that two little men
ptt up an undressing exhibition Is
generally when one Is a first-class man
and the other a dub and the fight Is too
ono-slded to be interesting.
Little men-and by hat l do not mean
featherweights alone. but lightweights.
bantamweights and fiyweights-always
envy their larger brethren and seem to
hold a srudge against nature because
she has not given them greater bulk and
stature.
The early history Of the feather
weight class 10 somewhat hasy We
know that In England. under London
Pydze Ring rules. there were three
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. who were any
weight below eight stone or liz pounds.
up to eight stone six pounds, or lis
pounds; lightw eights. who tipped the
beam at anywhere from eight stone six
to nine stone seven. or 1873 pounds; and
middleweights who ran from nine stone
seven to eleven stone. or lbA pounds
Anyone above eleven stone was con-
sidered q heavy weight.
The early history of the fighting game
in England under the London Prize
Ring rules tells us that there were n
great number Of men In the feather
weight class who were rafting good
Aphters. n there were only the
three classes l have mentioned during
the infancy Of the game, as the years
rolled by other weights began to creep
into the game. Among the very light
men was the six stone seven class, or
l5 pounds. which was for a long time
the weight Of the bantam GLASS. and

QUESTIONS BY BRYAN.
He Wants Democratic Presidential As
pirants to Answer Them.

pirants to Answer hem.
That every candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for president may
be put on record, William ]. Bryan is
starting crusade to mold public opin-
ion to demand that every candidate
shall state his exact position. Mr.. Bry-
an, in the Commoner, starts the move
ment by printing a list of questions
which each candidate is asked to an
swer. Every Democratic newspaper
and especially the country press in the
entire country is to be asked to repro
duce these questions and demand Of
aspirants to the presidency that they
answer each one without equivocation.
The questions follow:
Do you favor a tariff for revenue
only?
Do you favor free raw material and
the placing of revenue duty on only
manufactured goods?
Do you believe that in the revision
of the tariff the element of protection
should be given consideration?
Do you approve CT the recent Stand
ard Oil decision, wherein the supreme
court 'legislated" the word "unreason-
able" into the Sherman antitrust law ?
Do you favor the repeal of the Grim
inal clause of the antitrust law or be-
lieve congress should make it clear that
all restraint Of trade is unreasonable?
Do you favor the income tax?
Do you believe it is the duty of the
American people to promise independ-
enee to the Philippine Islands immedi,
ately and give it to them in the same
way 1t was given to the Cubans?
Do you believe in publicity of cam
paign contributions?
Do you indorse the labor planks OF
1908, strict regulation of railroads. the
Aldrich currency scheme, asset curren
cy in any form, establishment of a
central bank and a law compelling
banks to insure depositors?

TWO INSURGENTS FOR IT.
Brown of Nebraska and Works of Cal.

Brown of Nebraska and Works of Cal
ifornia Favor Reciprocity.
Washington, July 2O-In the senate
two speeches were made by insurgents
in support of the reciprocity bill. Sen
ator Works and Senator Brown advo.
Gated the passage Of the bill. Senator
Brown of Nebraska referred to his fell
low insurgents as "erring brethren"
because Of their attitude of hostility
toward Canadian reciprocity.
Senator Stone of Missouri, a Demo
crat. defended the reciprocity bill and
congratulated the president on having
negotiated the agreement. He declar-
ed that Canadian reciprocity would go
down in history to the everlasting
credit of the Taft administration.
Senator Kenyon Of Iowa, Republican
insurgent, went on record in a brief
speech in opposition to the reciprocity
agreement.
In the executive session of the sen
ate the treaty referring to The Hague
for adjudication certain claims arising
between the United States and Great
Britain was ratified. Most of these
claims grew out of fisheries in New

Washington, July 2A-The negotia-
tions between the state department
and the French government for a gem
eral arbitration treaty have reached a
point which practically insures sue
cess. 1t is expected that the state de-
partment in the near future will issue
a statement to that effect.
Secretary Knox has also wired that
the United States and Great Britain
have agreed upon all the principal
questions in the proposed Anglo-Amer-
lean arbitration convention, and the
final shaping of the treaty now de-
pends merely on discussion Of
phraseology. The sending of these
two treaties to the United States SEN
ate will be epoch making. 1t will
mark the most advanced stand ever
taken by any nation of the world to
realization of international peace.
On May II the state department an
nounced the tentative draft of the
treaty as prepared by this government
had been submitted to ]. ]. Jusserand
as French ambassador at the same
time that it was transmitted to the
British ambassador.
The German government now has
before 1t tentative arbitration treaty
draft which was prepared by state de-
partment officials. This model draft
is the same that was originally sub
mitted to the British and French gov
ernments.

ATTEMPT TO
X RAY A SOUL.
Scientists VIII Conduct Search
For the "Human Aura"
PHILADELPHIA SCENE OF TEST

Physicians SkeptioaI Of Suooess-lf
Soul Is Pictured an Effort Will BE
Made to See the "Aura" as II Leaves
q Dying Man.
n. Clyde Shook, Roentgen ray expert,
and DR.. Arthur w. Goodspeed, head
of the department of physics at the
University of Pennsylvania, have ca
bled to London for a minute screen,
the invention through which English
scientists claim to have obtained a
glimpse of a mans soul.
The factory is turning out the re-
mainder of the necessary X ray appli-
ances for the wonderful search, and
shortly one Of the freshmen Of the
before the X ray while a number Of
the leading scientists of Philadelphia
search his anatomy for the human
aura"
The attempt will meet with interna-
tional approval, as Philadelphia is ac-
credited with being the leading city
in the production of results with the
X ray. There are more X ray special
lists in Philadelphia than in any city in
the world.
DR.. Shook when seen regarding the
proposed attempt laughed and remark
ed rather sarcastlcally:
1--WE fear that Dr. O'Donnell Of Chi
cago, who claims he has seen the SOUL
has been fooling himself. Still, we will
withhold our judgment until after we
have made a faithful investigation, for
we can secure instruments in Philadel-
phia which are not produced else
where"
1t is with an unbelieving attitude
that the local scientists will begin their
work. Both Of the men directly inter
ested and other scientists who will as
sist are of the opinion that some ray
of light, some scientific phenomenon
or some slight unheard Of physical at
tribute of the human body has been
detected and taken for the soul.
When the apparatus for the expert
ment has been prepared DR.. Goodspeed
and DR.. Shook will shut themselves up
in one of the laboratories of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania with human
subject and begin the work and con-
tinue with it until they have proved
the truth or falsity of the statement
that the laura" can actually be seen.
If they succeed in seeing that which
the Englishmen and DR.. O'Donnell de-
clare they saw then the experiment
will be pushed to a determination
which will settle for the present a sci
entific question of great weight
The second stage Of the experiment
will be an attempt to see the soul as
it leaves the body of a dying person.
I This is claimed to be the time when
it is most visible, as it becomes COM
pletely separated from the physical
/ parts of the body.

tired that his voice was anything but
