Prize Fighting in New York.

The state of New York has not only
legalized prize fighting again, but, in a
measure, has itself gone into the bust
ness of prize fighting, for it gets per
cent of the proceeds of each battle. OF
course it calls the thing boxing" but
It makes no difference so long as it
invites two fighters to get into ring
and beat each other as fiercely as they
can. This is one of the fruits of the
recent Tammany-democrati legislature
and the Dix regime.
Two blacklist fighters have just
pummeled each other to pieces in the
historic Madison Square Garden to the
delectation Of as many people as could
get into the mammoth building, and a
few days ago two other bruisers held
the stage, while $4,000 deyotees OF the
manly art" sat by. On that occasion,
the papers reported, crowds we're so
dense and insistent at the ticket win
dows that, instead Of charging the
regular rate for seats, the box once
men raised prices, in some cases 100
per cent. without lessening the demand
a particle. That made the sovereign
states ''rake-off" that much more.
Three things are plain: First. that

Books for snilOrmen,
one OF the many good works carried on In
New York consists in providing loan IL
brartes for vessels leaving the port. The
work IL one Of several activities OF the
American Seamen's Friend society, rs
Wall street. Il was organised eighty-three
years ago, and has diligently pursued its
purpose OF assisting seamen to the limit Of
its funds, contributed by generous people.
The society's loan libraries consists of
about forty volumes, selected with great
care, consisting chiefly OF educational
helps, standard books OF travel, novels that
point a moral, an atlas, dictionary and
books OF a religious nature. Most OF the
works are in English, with a sprinkling OF
German. Norwegian and Swedish books.
The libraries are in cases and placed In
charge OF captains and mates, who dis
tribute the books to the crews The libra
F1es are changed at intervals and placed on
all classes OF sailing craft. AS many of
these vessels do not touch port for weeks,
and even months at a time, II can readily
be seen what a far-reaching effect these
books are likely to have on the lives OF
sailormen. During the fiscal year ending
last March the society placed R2S libraries
on board vessels in New York harbor.

OF Miss Lena Schwartz, her aged father,
Samuel Schwartz, q retired business man,
would not be alive today.
Miss Schwartz awoke this morning with
her mind full Of a dream in which her
father had met with a serious accident OF

room. His bed was unoccupied and she
FASTENED through the apartment without
finding any trace of him.
Then she went to the outer hall and
found the aged man seated on the floor
with tube attached to the gas Jet in his
mouth. He was unconscious, but she tore
the tube from his mouth and summoned
a physician, who revived the man. He had
been Ill for some time and respondent.

Too Much for the hoy.

A New York merchant who recently re-
turned from an extended trip to Europe
left his son, bright boy of IL, behind
with a tutor, so that he might improve
his French and German in the vacation

the boy writes II am finding German

Economic Waste.

High cost OF necessaries in the cities and
low price of produce on the farms appar-
entity go together. Patrick Egan, who
acted as spokesman for delegation repre-
senting 1880 Pennsylvania farmers on
their visit to Mayor Gaynor at New York
few days ago, produced some startling
figures showing to what extent both the
producer and consumer are mulcted. 'Po
tatoes, for which the consumer paid $780,
10000 last year" he said, melted oui

ers less than s23,0oO,OOO." The difference
Of course represents the cost OF transpor-
tation and distribution and the middlemen'E
profit The economic waste connected with
the present system Of marketing farm
products is colossal, and the problem
Of bringing the producer in more direct re-
lations with the consumer is one that de-
mands an early solution.

ArbuckIe ChuckIes.


Millionaire John Arbuckle is enjoying a
fine little chuckle. The more he thinks OF
It the longer he chuckles. Some three years
ago John bought the schooner Jacob A.
Stamler and fitted 1t out as a floating
hotel for working men and women, arrang-
ing to provide board, lodging, laundry and
other things to worthy young people for
$3.50 week. To begin with, he had come
to the conclusion that the failure OF many
similar charitable enterprises could be
traced TO the separation OF the sexes. A
simple way to overcome this. he figured.
would be to provide accommodations for
both men and women on the Stamler.
Meantime Arbuckle's friends insisted the
project would be a rank failure, but John
just sat tight and sawed wood. The result
was the old windjammer was not in com
mission day before young Dan Cupid took
passage and scores of romances have
blossomed aboard the old boat. Now appll-
cations for accommodations far exceed the
number that can be granted.
