HZET PAsHA.

Izzet Pasha, who was placed in Command of the most important of Turkeys armies when that country decided to join Germany in the war against Russia. has long held a prom inent position in the military affairs of the Oottornan Empire. He was ed ucated In the harsh and cruel school of Abdul Hamid, and was in all re- spects worthy servant of that cruel master. Many of the worst atrocities of the regime of Abdul the Damned
 were attributed. rightly or wrongly. to Izzet Pasha. In addition to being a soldier hezwas prominent in political affairs and was the Confidential sec retary Of the deposed Sultan. When the Committee of Union and Progress, commonly called the Young Turk party obtained control of the govern n1ent and sent Abdul into exile, Izzet Pasha was one of those marked for destruction. He contrived to escape the venseance of the revo1uti onists,. and fled to London. finding 8 safe refuge from his enemies in the coun- try on which he IS now making war. After a time, however, Izzet Pashai was forgiven. and was permitted to return to Turkey. There he soon re- gained the power of which he had temporarily been deprived. and en- tered heartily tzto the schemes of the prot German faction of the committee,
 which he aided in gaining the ascen4 dancy over the peace party. Izzet F3asf1a owes his pronninence in Tur- kish affaiEs partially to the fact that he was born in Albania, Abdu1 Hanid always chose AIbanians for his body guard and, so far as possible, for po- s:tfons of power, holding that they were the most faithful of his subjects.

BOXING NOTES

While never a champion, Paekey Mo- F'arland, the pride of the Chicago stoekyar1s district, holds the attention
 of the boxing public more than any fighter in the country. Fitted against the right man Packey is more of a popular idol among his Chicago fol- lowers than any champion in the world. There is one match they would like to see Packey engage in and that is one with Mike Gibbons, the St Paul
 phantom. There has been much talk of bringing these two clever boys to- gether, and once a match seemed as good as made, but obstacles turned up
 which were unsurmounable and it fell through. Just now there is a claInor for a meeting betwen5 these two, but the match Packey would sanction
 without much adoo would be with the worlds champion lightweight, Freddie Welsh. Packey has always had his heart set on beating a champion, and he thinks he can turn the trick with
 Welsh. They have battled three times during the past three years, two be- ing draws and one Ca ten round af- fair1 going to Mcfarland, although there were many who claimed that Welsh should have had the decision on an alleged foul. Paekey states that
 he is willing to meet Welsh at 138
 pounds at 3 o'clock. but 1has suggested
 that it would be better at 40, the weight Welsh showed when he scaled TOT Charlie White a week ago.. The I@chances are that Welsh will insist I'upon 1855 at 8 o'clock, a weight that Mcfarland has stated he can make If he can, then the match should be at that poundage, as it would have
 the semblance of a real title match,
 for the European lightweight limit is 135 at 2 o'clock and should ePackey be
 able to put over a, K. O. he would at l last have just claim to a champion I ship. The Madison Square Garden 1 club has been after the men and the l Cream City A. C. of Milwaukee has
 also put in a bid. Of the two clubs 1 the Milwaukee organization would | probably draw over the New York
 club by at least ten thousand dollars
 owing to it's close proximity to Chi l cago. Should the boys meet it would l be a. case of two of the classiest light
 weight boxers in the world contesting
 for honors. Packey has stated to the
 writer that he does not intend to go l through with any match with Gibbons
 at the weight mentioned, as he feels
 certain Mike cannot make 145 ring
 side and he has not thought of taking
 chances against a midd1eweight. And i in case Packey should not get togeth-
 CT with Welsh or Gibbons, what would 1 be the matter with matching up with l Willie Ritchie for the American l championship at 135 pounds at 3 1 o'clock, or even the we1terweight ti-s

We learn that the boat came from Fair Haven, and belonged to a MT. Pres ton. We are pleased to learn that the work Of the Pacific Iron Works is so well appreciated by companies and corporatf ons outside of the city. The boiler work of this Foundry Is of the first class and needs no special recon- mendation.

A runner was on third and one on
first with two out. The count was
three and two on the batter. With
the next pitch the man on first raced
for second. The throw was the
fourth ball, but Wilson pegged to
second. His throw was bad, and the
runner on third scored the fifth run.
Even if Wilson had made a good
throw the man who was on first
would not have been out, as he would
have earned the bag through the four
balls handed the batter.

SPLIT OVER CANAL TOLLS.

The free canal tolls fight now on in the national House Of Representa- lives is one of the most spectacular contests in modern politics.
 The occupant of the White House and titular head of the dominant party has advocated one policy. Aligned against him is the Democratic leader of the House.
 With these two leaders at outs, party bars for the moment seem to be down.
 It seems that each member of con- gross is inclined to follow his own sense of patriotic duty. rather than giving blind obedience to partisan mandate.
 While some Democrats are opposing the presidents policy, good many Republicans are reported to have conceived it as their patriotic duty to support it.
 It is problematical as to what the final vote will be on the resolution providing for the repeal of the clause granting exemption from tolls to American coastwise shipping.
 The presidents supporters say they have enough votes pledged to pass the resolution Those opposed doubt it, but whatever the result. the Amer ican people cannot but view with sat isfaction an evidence of a sense of patriotism that rises above political parties and that permits each legis- lator to vote according to the dic- tates of his conscience.

The Cost of Illness.

Money making is very often asso- ciated with health breaking. Both are occasionally found together at the goal Place your wagers on the lat ter. It will most often win. Men too often sacrifice health at their business desks in pursuit of money that they do not need. Self-preservation is an important law of Nature; yet too often it is forgotten-until too late. What you will not do for your health can be done for you-that and more also. Health assurance is of more value than life insurance-to you personally. Health means continuance of earn ing capacity. Osteopathy is the on ly school of medicine that lays en- phasis on this phase of health health's business worth is productiv- ity. It restores many of the unfit to productivity. Efficiency in business results from examination and treat ment, where treatment is needed. at the hands of an osteopath. We all feel more fit in every way after ad- justment And it prolongs life. So the cost of illness is really much greater in every way than the cost of health.

THE MILEAGE CRAFT.

Ever since the day of stage coacneS the mileage basis for memers of con gress has been 70 cents mile. It IS to be changed, for, after undergone q great deal of persecution for right eousness' sake," as he puts it, Rep resentative William E. Cox has just succeeded in having prepared pro vision that will eliminate the time honored graft" The House commit tee on appropriations has agreed to recommend provision under which senators and congressman hereafter will draw a compensation for the cost of going to Washington and return ing on a basis of money actually paid out for travelling expenses. This pro vision, however. admits the depend ent members of the family to the same privilege as the senator or representa- tive.
 In other words. the member is al lowed travelling expenses for himself and dependent members of his fam fly.
 Under the new arrangement. the dependent members of the solon's family go on the mileage roll, which is contrary to Cox's ideas, but even at that the reduction to actual eX- penses will save the government about $150,00O year.
 Cox has continued to harp on this mileage graft" until he has almost worn out his welcome among his col leagues. They have denounced him behind his back an dto his face. They have accused him of playing to the galleries and of talking for home con sumption They have said many bit ter and harsh things about him, but he has kept his temper and has con tnued to denounce the allowance as d measly graft which the members of congress could not defend.

 they have records hat is. when they have been in the tolls on previ ous occasions.
 Finger prints are divided into four classes known as loops" 'archeS.' "swoles" and composites" It takes an expert but an instant to classify the prints. These are all kept on tile at police headquarters in large cities, and immediately after some crime is committed the detectives try to obtain the finger prints of the criminal. These are taken to the headquarters for comparison. Along with the prints there are kept descriptions of the criminals and in many instances pho tographs. Thus. once the print is Ob- tained, identification becomes sim pie matter if the record is on file.
 To bring out the prints and make the lines clear certain chemicals are used. The faintest marks can be made to show clearly upon any object.
 This system was inaugurated by In- spector Faurot, and he has developed it so 2that 1t is now considered one of the best weapons in the hands of the detectives.
