: Albany, N. Y., March 31-WIth five feet of snow in the Hudson water shed of the Adirondacks melting under continuous drizzling rainfall in the lower Adirondacks and in the Capital district, with five inches of snowfall reported at Saranac Lake, with the Hudson rising at Gaens Falls, and the prospect of the continued rain, the greatest new alarm is felt through the Hudson Valley.
 George T. Todd, government weath- CT forecaster at Albany, predicted ris- ing water and a. flood in the Hudson Valley much more serious than last year, unless there is an immediate cold wave

Battling Levinsky, tiie Rhiladelphza light heavy V eight. made his first ap- pearance in the middle west when he bumped into Bob Mohas the "Cave- man, before the South Side A. C. of Milwaukee and the verdict was against fae man with theHebrew name. It developed after the contest that Ie-s vinsky had gone into the match with a very severe fever and stomach trou- sble and that probably accounts for his poor showing but nevertheless he would have had his hands full no matter how good he was that night as
 Moha put up one Of his really good battles Bob was fast as lightning and took the lead away from the speedy Levinsky, although at times the latter showed hashes of class 1t seemed to the casual observer that much work In the ring and that is probably what the real trouble amounted to- He had the height and reach to keep man of Moha's build away from him, but only once in while did he use his long left to ad-. vantage and hold the rushing Robert at arms length On the form Levins- ky showed here 1t is hard to under stand how he could defeat some of the men he has been against in the east and that is why T say that the boy has no doubt been over worked and failed to show his true worth.
 He will have to show much better

 condition to get decision over him on the coast in ten rounds, or his form against White was away off color The Chicago boy simply toyed with him at times. In the first round Charlie gave him severe Iacing while against the ropes and it was during this lambast- ing that White hurt his right hand so badly that he could not use it the balance of the battle He depended entirely upon his left hand and easily jabbed the coast boy when and where he pleased, winning hands a down. Azevedo did prove himself a glutton for punishment and stood up under a rain of blows that many other fight CTS would have fal1on from He has a lot to learn yet about the boxing game, but there are many light weights whom he can defeat and gain experience tn ereby- White, unless his hand puts him out of commission, should be in line now for a match with Wolgast and Ritchie.

reunion of the Jacobs Utterbach- Rich
ardson families is over. These families

judging from the attendance. A crowd
of people is very uncertain to guess at
but there must have been two thousand
! there.
AS usual there was a big dinner
spread upon tables erected for the &C.
casion and everyone did justice to the
occasion.
John T. Hamilton, democratic candl-
date for governor had been invited as
a guest of honor and was one of the
speakers of the day. The other speak
ers were Rev. Hodge of Sigourney and
Rev. Dorreen of Keota.
There were several songs and sever

made good speech at the opening OF
the program.

William Jennings Bryan has re-

ations to provide him with a
liveried footman-a man with silk
hat, cockade, gilt buttons, and gold
lace trimmings similar to those worn
by members of the governors staff.
sit is bad .form,'' remarked Lord
Bryan: :" to go round in a carriage
without footman perched on the
box, but I do not ask for an auto
mobile, mind you.'' We suggest
that the secretary of state be pro-
vided with the footman, who shall be
uniformed according to his masters
wishes and, furthermore, we would
like to see Lord Bryan supplied with
a new carriage upon the doors of
which his coat of arms appear. Then
the horses trappings should be gold
mounted, and a position with a
trumpet should precede him and
herald his approach. This would
lend that dignity to our great secre-
tary Of state which is necessary to
the high Office he holds.

Sir Edward Gray. Great Britain's
secretary of state for foreign affairs:
urges the introduction of federal
system of government. He says
that unless such a system is intro
duced the country will go under
through sheer inability of congress
to transact it's business. His pro-
posed system would mean the estab-
]ishment of parliaments, not only in
Ireland. but in Scotland, England
and Wales, and giving them power
to initiate new laws, the present
parliament to be a body similar to
the United State congress, with the
Irish, Welsh, Scotch and English
bodies resembling the state legisla-
lures of America. This looks like a
proposition which would prove a
solution of the home-rule difficulty

Football, baseball, basketball ar

Football, baseball, basketball and
long-distance foot races by students
in the schools of the country are de-
nounced as "almost criminal" by
DR.. Knoch, Cincinnati pedagogue.
He says such strenuous physical ex-
ercise exhausts nearly all the organs
and that s. dilated heart is the
natural consequence. Those who
take part in these sports will tell the
doctor that he knows not of what
he is talking about-that the ex-
ercise is invigorating and builds up
a strong physique. Professor Knoch
appears to be one of those effeminate
old parties who consider croquet and
tiddledewinks the proper exercise for
making muscle. He seems scarcely
adapted to the position he holds
and would no doubt make a better
success as president of a sewing
circle. But with such name we
presume that whatsoever calling he
pursued he would be knocker..5 Ii. IgTse

In consequence of i'll health John
Lind has returned to the United

that John-considering the condi-
lions under which he was compelled
to live-stood it SO long as he did.
Vera Cruz, where he was located, is
a fever-infested place fit for no
white man to reside, and there was
the constant fear of assassination
which, like the sword of Damocles,

WHAT THEY: ARE LLABLE TO GET.

WHAT IHEYSAREEL LABLE TO GET.
Commenting on the new road law
and the proposition thereto in certain
quarters, the Duluth News-Tribune
|succinctly states few facts in these
words:
'"The only trouble with the law is
that those who criticise it do not
understand it. They have not taken
the trouble to study it. Then, too,
political otf1ceseekers fan the flames
to get votes, adding vicious ignor-
ance to more stupidity.
"The one criticism that has any
real point is that of those who OBJ
ject to it because it leaves too much
authority with the counties. These
want the other system, that of the
state commission witt. full power to
locate the roads, making them all
trunk lines radiating from the cities.
and with the sole control Of expendi-
lures and construction.

apt to get if the law is changed.

preciate its benefits and like it,

And Just as Soon as We Cease Dying
We Cease to Live.

And Just as Soon as We Cease Dying
We Cease to Live.
Living is continuous process of dy-
ing: When we cease to die we cease
to live. One can readily understand
this by means Of very concrete ex-
ample. Suppose you arise some cold
morning and find the fire in your fur
mace has gone out" 1t will do no
good to utter malicious invectves
against the poor furnace. Just philoso-
phize as follows: my furnace has
ceased to die. In other words, it has
ceased to consume that very expensive
article called coal. The continual con-
sumption of coal is fire or life in the
furnace. When the consumption or
dying ceased the fire or life ceased"
Accordingly you proceed to make the
furnace Idle" some more.
What is true Of the furnace is true
of ourselves. All organic life exists in
a state of continuous decomposition
and rebuilding or: continuous state of
dying and living. AS soon as decom-
position ceases reconstruction ceases.
| or, in common terms, as soon as we
cease dying we cease living Certain
poisons, if swallowed by a human be-
ing, destroy life by annihilating the
decomposing or dying process which
is necessary for life When they enter
)sthe system a chemical compound is
formed which resists decomposition.
Upon examination Of the dead body it
| will be found that putrefaction does
not take place. With these poisons in
the body there is no process of dying;
hence there is no life. FL.
The same truth holds in regard to
our mental and moral existence. If
we cease to struggle or think and are
content to live purely animal life the
activity Of our brain powers quickly
ceases and we are mentally dead.
Struggle. action. aspiration. is dying,
but it means living. Introduce the poi
son of vice and there is a cessation Of
mental life as fatal as that caused to
the body by arsenic.-New York Amer
