Some Former Pugillsts
 And Where They Are Now

At least a full score of rlen who at one time or another were cham pion puglists of the world in one divi- sion or another, are still alive. Some are prosperous. others are not so well fixed, but they are all living and fair ly healthy
 Probably the place of seniority be longs to Paddy Ryan. the Trojan. Paddy was the champion when some of the present champions were using their nursing bottle as a punching bag Patriots is now policeman, and they say his phenomenal physique makes him look like a god in the blue"
 John l.. Sullivan is now a farmer. having recently purchased a place near Boston John does not devote himself exclusively 10 raising crops, as he frequently takes to the stage, and though he made "lashins" of mon ey as a fighter, the present source of his wealth was founded on the stage. Sullivan has been a monologist for years and he commands a very high figure for his services.
 Jim Corbett, the man who beat Sul- livan for his title way back in 1892. is an actor and author He lives at Bayside, N. J., and has a handsome home. Corbett, they say, is well fixed but he hasn't anything like 20 per cent of the money he earned since leaving a counter in a bank and don ming the gloves.

He had the good sense to marry a very clever woman, Julia May Clifford and she helps Garry Ruby Robert as stage favorite.
 Probably Jim Jeffries is the most prosperous of any of the former cham pions. He made enough money out Of the Johnson fasco to put him on easy street. and Jim knows how to take care of it.

The C,annv Grocer.

The canny grocer sized up his Gus
toner.
She had ordered six strictly fresh
eggs.
He took down the paper bag and, go
ing to the basket, picked them out.
Twisting the top OF the bag together,
he handed It to the woman, who paid
him and went away.
The canny grocer smiled.
He had given the women seven eggs
when she ordered but SIX.
He knew that when she reached
home and found she had seven instead
Of six eggs she would be so delighted
with the supposition that she had over
reached him that she would entirely
disregard the fact that six Of the eggs
were storage and one was dubious.

Discovery of Speed of Liaht.

Ore Of the greatest discoveries Of
science is due to observation Of the
eclipses Of Jupiter's moons. It was
found that when the earth was in the
part Of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when it was IN the far
thermost part, whereas by all rules of
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. It was
deduced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took sixteen minutes to. traverse the
diameter Of the earth's orbit, dis
tance Of about 2o0,0OO,c00 miles, thus
giving to light velocity Of $4,000
miles second, which was accurately
shown later by other experiments

ANDREW JOHNSON'S
IMPEACHMENT.

God surely had the cause of the I'm.
ion in His keeping throughout this
crucial period. Impeachment trial of
Johnson.) Seven republican senators
had the patriotism, the forecast and
the courage to vote 'no" TO the plans
of the revolutionists. 1t was not an
easy thing to do. johnson was ill
tempered and tactless. He had person
ally much discredited, Democracy was
a kind of red rag to the overwhelming
republican majority IN congress. But
the seven stood by the constitution,
the facts and their oaths of office and
the country was saved from falling
into the category of the Latin Amer
lean countries south of us.
Four of the seven-Fassenden, Trum-
bull, Grimes and Hendersou-were in
the highnoon of political fame and for
tune. They had everything to lose
nothing in sight to gain. Faithfully,
heroically, they did their duty and
went to political extinction. The last
of them is John Il. Henderson, the
grand old man of Missouri-still hale
and harty, head of the most distingu-
ished household in the national capital
to whom the love and homage of
every patriotic American are due

OLD PARTY MUST REST.

Washington, Dec. Republican
governors from a dozen states and par
ty leaders in congress, with whom they
informally conferred today, have agreed
that no definite steps toward a reor-
ganization of the republican party are
practical within a year. Opposition
from progressive republicans, whom it
was desired to bring into the move
ment, and apathy on the part of the
men who have been identified with the
party's greatest activity, have helped
TO convince the leaders in the reorgani-
cation movement that no concerted
plans could be undertaken until late
next year.
