Murphy's workout before the local
fans at O'Connelrs pleased these who
witnessed 1t immensely. He took on
three battlers and showed clearly that
he is glove wielder of much class.
He demonstrated he Fad powerful left
and a wicked right, with plenty of
steam behind both. He also is clever of
foot, quick of eye, and agile as a cat
in getting away from punches. In ad-
dition, he covers well, can take a hear
ty punch If necessary. and return with
plenty of speed.
Tommy Schupp was the first TO essay
bout with the Boston boy and suf-
fered a smart facing, although Murphy
did not let out. Special Delivery
Hirsch next encountered Eddie and
found that his aggressiveness was fu-
tile. for Murphy, by artful lodging
evaded most Of the boys rushes. Dam
ny Goodman was easy for Murphy, be-
ing tired from a grueling four rounds

Why Secretary Cameron Quit.
Another wartime incident related
by Judge Ewing, not widely known,
II known at all beyond those immedl-

nation OF Secretary Of War Simon
Cameron.
"Ihurlow Weed" said the Judge,
"was thoroughly possessed BY the
idea that Mr.. Cameron as secretary
OF war was not strong enough to
cope with the military situation like
~ to confront him. So deeply was
he impressed by this notion that he

For several days this performance
went on, different men calling and re-
marking their surprise at his apparent
illness.
Finally Weed called on Cameron
again himself and again spoke of the
secretary's look of illness. 1T is evi-
dent to me, Mr.. Cameron said Weed,
that the work of this Office is under
mining your health. You have no
right. in justice to yourself, to allow
these responsibilities to kill you. Come
with me up to my place on the Hud-
son and take a good long rest
Cameron accepted the invitation,
and after he had been at Weeds for
some time Weed tactfully suggested
that they quietly call in a certain noted
specialist. This physician said:
"'I find, MI. Secretary, that you have
no organic trouble, but you have been
greatly ~Overworked, and a long rest is
absolutely essential to prevent a nerv-
u breakdown, and 1 would suggest a
sea voyage
by this time Mr.. Cameron was
ready to ask that the president relieve
him Of his duties as secretary of war.
and Weed, recalling the doctors rec
ommendation Of a sea voyage, limited
to Mr.. Cameron that he would do well
to ask for a foreign mission.
Fortunately for Weeds plans Cas-
sius NJ. Clay. our minister to Russia,
had just rendered his resignation on
account Of his desire to enter the mill
tary service. So Weed went to Presi-
dent Lincoln about the matter, and the
result was that Clay became a major
general. Cameron became ambassador
to Russia and Edwin M. Stanton be-
came secretary of war;"
