There was no the final bell and the fans were well pleased with the ten rounds of slug Efng. Both boys lost 8 good many ,ed corpnscies and were pretty well
 Previous to the bout Monty an nounced that this was to be his last fight and that hereafter the squared circle would hold no attraction for him.
 For preliminary Young Corbett from the Norwich state hospital went six lively rounds with Bob Reimer of Manchester. the former having consid- erably the better of the match.
 Matchmaker Curry of Wi1limantfc, manager for Bob Reimer. says that he will put up 325 or $50 that Reimer will beat Corbett at any place Corbett may name.

RACE PREJUDICE HELD AS A BLOT
AGAINST AMERICANS.
Archbishop Ireland Denounces Feeling
Toward Negro as Unchristian.

1 am pleased to meet my ColOred
friends, to say how welcome they are
in the Catholic Church, and how
pleased 1 am to see that the many
White people who are here as good
Catholics recognize that they are chill
dren of God, and all should be good
Christian brothers.
Color is a mere incident. Children
of God have as much right to be
pleased with one color as another, and
to think in this case that we are bet
ter only shows our ignorance. Against
this ridiculous prejudice Catholics are
banded to protest most strongly and
continuously.
When that prejudice enters into a
mind there is no true Catholieity, and
1 am anxious that the White Catholics
will agree with me in this matter.
This prejudice exists only in Amer
lea, and it is the only country where
there should be no prejudice, because
it is the country for the equality Of
men, the prime doctrine Of the eonsti-
tuition. But one class did not live up
to it and made one class servants Of
another. Fortunately this did not last,
and all were put on the same level Yet
many Whites remain non-Ameriean, but
wherever the Catholic Church has sway
this prejudice has been wiped out.
The above was uttered by the good
and Sainted Bishop Ireland at a re-
cent meeting in St Paul, MINI

Curious Discovery that
our Time, Space, and
why we Count by the
Dozen go Back 10000
Years to Those
Astronomers

The curious discovery that we 10
practically everything by 6's and fac
tors of 90 because Babylonian as
tronomers fixed it so 10000 years ago
has Just been made by commission of
mathematics studying the subject.
We count ten times seconds to the
minute, ten times minutes to the hour,
four times 6 hours to the day divide the
heavens and circles into sixty times 6
degrees, and even count our eggs by
the dozen, which is two because these
ancient sages in extraordinary ways
figured out that it was the easiest and
best way to do it.
No doubt you have often stopped and
asked yourself: why do We count
sixty minutes to the hour and not n
hundred or any other numberi" And
no one has been able to tell you why.
Even the Encyclopedia Britannica
says, "The day has been divided into
twenty-fOur hours from time immortal.
1t is a matter of general knowledge
that the ancient Babylonians were great
astronomers and accomplished mathe-
maticians, for no one can measure the
movements of the planets and estimate
the changes in the heavenly bodies
without a profound knowledge of
1t is known that the won
derful Ziggurats, or stage-towers,
erected on the Babylonian plains were
used for astronomical work, for the
ruins of these towers are in such a po-
sition as to show that they were erected
with the study Of the heavens in view,
just as we put up our modern OBJ
servatories.
We do not know what telescopes the
Babylonians possessed, but we do know
that the calendar established by the
Babylonians was absolutely correct and
though figured out anywhere from six
to ten thousand years ago it is cor
rect today, although ours is several
minutes wrong, and at the end of an
other thousand years will be a whole
day out of the way.
1t is to be expected, then, that these
ancient Babylonians must have divided
time and space in order to calculate
changes in one or the other, and in
doing this they established this use of
The broad ax., 1913-03-01

twenty-four hours of sixty minutes each.
The strongest point in favor of this
suggestion, the mathematicians found
lies in the number SIXTY. No one or
dinarily attaches any significance to
that number, vet mathematician have
wondered why the Babylonians took this
number as the basis of their system.
In fact, the BabylOnian system is called
the "Sexagesimal System" because of
it's use of the numbers go, 600, 5000,
sc. 900, etc. There must be some scien-
tifc reason for this for so wise a nation
of astronomers do not adopt a great
system in their calculations without a
very good and sufficient reason.
If the number 60 be carefully exam
ined the reason is clear and simple
Sixty is the most easily handled of all
the numbers up to and including 100,
because more of the digets and tens go
into it than will 60 into any other num-
Der. The numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, IL,
Is, 20, 30 all 60 into 60 evenly. The
number 100 is Invisible only by 2, 4, 5,
10, 20, %, and so, making it far more
awkward to handle than the number go.
Putting one and one together, it was
plain that the Babylonians, who were
the first and only people to recognize
the value of the number 60 and who
were the first real astronomers, must
have been the originators of our di-
vision of time and space, for the num-
Der 60 plays so prominent part IN time
and space measurement that no one else
could be credited with this division.
1t would have been just as easy to
divide the day into twelve hours of
100 minutes and 100 seconds, and it is
certain that the Babylonians appreei-
ated to the full all the facility of the
use of decimals and the system depen-
dent upon ten, but they felt and knew
that 60 was a more convenient basis
than any other for their mathematical
system, and for this reason they divided
the hour into minutes and the minute
into sixty seconds.
This explanation of the value of the
number sixty also explains the origin
of our duodeeimal system, counting by
dozens and the gross.

in this great big country he worked
hard at his trade, that of a cabinet
maker, or until 1897, and from that
year until 1899 he served as the busi-
ness agent of the Amalgamated Wood
workers Council of Chicago. In that

HON. WILLIAM L. o'CoNNELL.

William L. O'COnnell, who has be-
come one of the high captains in state
and national politics and who is ever
ready to extend the glad hand to all
corners was born in this city in 1871,
receiving his education in its public
schools, finishing it in st. Johns Acad-

for a moment to state that Mr.. O'Con-
nell is happily married and for a long
time, he, Mrs. O'Connell and their chill
dren reside in a beautiful home at Abb

After emerging from st. John s Aead-
envy, he hustled in the day time as
city salesman for Franklin McVeagh
& Company, putting in his time in the
evenings studying law, taking a three
year course at the Chicago College of
Law, amply fitting himself for either
4 commercial life or politics.
Later on in life he became an extern
sive manufacturer and jobber in fine
cigars.
He made his first whirl in politics by
becoming superintendent of the City
Gas Inspection Bureau in 1904, being

appointed by Mayor Carter H. Har.
risOn; then he was selected as Deputy
Commissioner of Public Works and in
1906, he was appointed Commissioner
of Public Works by Mayor Edward F.
Dunno, and be it said to his everlast-
ing credit that he ably conducted all
of the affairs pertaining to the Office
with great ability and in business-like
manner.
He was chosen chairman of the Cen
trai Committee of the Democratic party
of Cook County in 1906, being ex-
tremely popular with all classes of his
fellow citizens and having legions of
warm friends and supporters. He was
elected treasurer of Cook County in
1910, and so far he has made a tip top
county official.
Mr.. O'COnnell did not succeed in Sc
curing the nomination for Mayor of
Chicago, for Judge Edward F. Dunno
at the primaries in 1911, but as his
personal campaign manager, he did sue
coed however, in landing him in the

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Aug. 20 Two
members of President Wilson's Cabi-
net, Secretary of the Navy Dan es
and Secretary of War Garrison,
have been in San Diego within the
past few weeks, and while they
were shown over the site of the Ex-
position which is to be held in 1915
to celebrate the opening of the Pana-
ma Canal. Both gentlemen ex-
pressed surprise at the extent of the
coming exposition as indicated by
the buildings, some of which are
completed, some under way, and
some just being begun. Both gen.
tlemen also gave very free express
sion to their belief that the San Die
go Exposition would be of the great
est interest to the public. They
commented especially on the far
sighte dness which moved the Ex-
position management to begin, sew
al years in advance of the date
FIR the Exposition to open, the cul-
tivation of a large number of trees,
ornamental plants, shrubs and flow
ering plants, which are now being
gradually transferred from the great
nurseries to their final locations on
the grounds.
