,KATFH.E ZEN MATHEW
 RETURNING UNDER
 AUSPICES OF A. o. H.

Miss Kathleen Mathew whose ap- pearance in this city some time ago was marked with such a spontaneous display of enthusiasm among the Irish and Irish-American residents of Bridgeport, is again arranging to visit this city. Miss Mathew has just arrived from abroad, having been ac- companied on her trip from the war zone by the noted Irish playwright, Lady Gregory. She has planned a trip across the continent in her de- Lghtfu1 entertainment s'Beautiful Ire iand'' in which she exeells, and she has planned Bridgeport as her open- ing stand when she will be accom- panied by number of Irish song riods in their rendering of popular Irish airs. The coming of the talent ed Irish gentlewon1an is. being inau- garated by the members of the A. O. H. of Bridgeport who at a special meeting last evening decided to ac- cord a hearty reception to the gifted grand-niece of the wor1d-renowned Irish Apostle of Tenperanee-Fath CT Mathew.
 A feature of the Iadyss appearance in this city win be the presentation of a specially designed medal to those in the district who received the pledge of total abstinence from the Great Father Mathew.

Interior Decoration
 Pleasingly Explained

Although the money in the treas ury is low and there is need of $500, the members of the Art league have decided to continue the splendid 1ec- ture course and to raise the neces- sary amount through series of whtsts to be held on Wednesday ev- enings, from until 10 o'clock, com mencing Wednesday evening, Feb. g..
 Various officers of the 1eag que have also offered to open their homes for other card parties and social af- fairs. The first of these will be a. card party at the home of Mrs. John c. Chamberlain, 1O5 Washing ton avenue on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 28. The president of the lea gue Mrs. Herbert M., Knapp will open her home for large social affair later in the season.
 Amour cement was also made that the Bacheler lecture on Feb. 1, will be an open one for which tickets may be purchased at the door, This is a deviation from the rule of the society that single tickets for lecture can be purchased only by out of town people.
 Miss Ethel West the teacher Of the free classes will be at the league rooms every Tuesday and Wednesday morning to give extra instruction to any class members who desire 1t.
 Mrs. Grace R. Wi1rnot gave a most instructive illustrated lecture on ssIn- terior Decoration" in which she em- phasized the fact that it does not fe- quire money to make 8 homef ideal but merely an understanding of how to furnish it arttstically. She rated the promiscuous use of antique fur niture where neither the style of the house, the other furnishings, or the personality of the inhabitants har- monized with it.
 Bad color arrangement and inhar- monious homes have the same effect upon the artistic sense of a child that has lived among them for the first five years of his life as bad Eng fish has upon his literary sense. The wornan's personality should denom- mate the home but not so strongly as to overlook, the comfort of other members of the family.
 Color is most important in the fur nishing of home and particularly is this true of the side walls as every thing must be seen against these. Mrs. Wilmot concluded her talk with a number of interesting slides of interiors illustrating the facts which she had been telling.

YOUNG GRIFFO WAS CLEvEREST BOXER IN
 PUGILIsTIC HISTORY

Who was the cIeverest boxer the ring has ever had? There, is much room for argument in answering that question, but, in the opinion of the writer, the New York sports who
 gathered at Coney Island just twenty years ago today, Jan. 19, 1895, to see Young Griffo and George Dixon per
 form, had the opportunity of witness ing an encounter between two boys who have certainly never been ex-
 celled. and probably never eoualied, in the matter of ring science, That particular bout was twenty-five
 rounds to a draw, and all the way it was an exhibition of. fancy hstic work at it's greased- lightning best
 George Dixon, the little Nova
 Scotia ..choco1ate drop.'s was then .featherweigh champion. while Griffo, an Australian, weighed about 12s pounds. Griffo had an advantage of only half an inch in height over Dix
 on. and only few pounds in weight,
 but his broad chest made him look like an inflated balloon as compared
 with little George. Grtffo had a chest expansion of forty-two inches, exceed ing that of Fitzsimmons when Bob was the worlds heavyweight cham pion. Griffo was an object of great interest to medical men, who attri- l buted to his great lung capacity his ability to fight at his best without training. He seldom prepared for a battle, and would enter the ring after weeks spent in riotous dissipation.
 The old story of Griffo, about his standing on a handkerchief and chal- lenging his opponent to swat him on the nose, has lately been revived, and
 led Jimmy Clabby to unburden him. self of the following language:
 Now don't know whether that challenge was ever accepted, or whether Griffo was ever hit on the nose But I'll say this: If the old stood on & handkerchief and had only
 his arms to protect his face with, they were a mighty poor lot"
 The handkerchief yarn has been
 greatly exaggerated, as Griffo only pulled that stunt against novices in
 the gyms" and, so far as the writer knows, never made such @ prOpOsi- l ton to any really good fighter.
 Griffo's real name was Albert Grif- 1fths, and he was born in Sydney,
 Australia, about forty-four years ago. i His initiation into the ring was as a
 bare knuck1e fighter, and he whipped lots of good men when he was only
 a kid. From the first he was so clev- | CT that few boxers could land on him,
 although Dan Creedon, afterward a
 famous rnidd1eweig1t, succeeded in
 giving Griffo a caulif1ower ear. Grif- ffo came to America in 1893, and did
 his first fighting in Chicago. There he fought draws with Tommy White and SoIly Smith, and then went to
 New York and fought a draw with
 George Lavigne. He defeated Ike
 Weir at Boston and Billy Murphy in the same city. He first met Dixon

A HOME REMEDY
 FOR DYSPEPSIA

In view of the well known fact that probably over 90 per cent. of all stom- ach trouble, dyspepsia. indigestion, nat rectly due to acid16y, or as 1t is com monly called ssour stomach,' 1t is eVi- dent that correction and prevention depends almost entirely on neutraliz- ing the acid and stopping the fsrmsn- tation. For this purpose there ds nothing better than a teaspoonful of ordinary bisurated fnagnesia in a Ht- whenever pain is felt. This 1mmsdi- aste1y neutraiizes the acid, stops the fermentation and permits the stomach to proceed with it's work under nor mai conditions. Owing to the wide spread use Of bisurated usEnesia by physicians and in the hospitals and for greater convenience in carrying, most druggists now supply it ia 5 grain. tablets, 2 of which are equivalent So Q. teaspoonful Of the ordinary powder forn.-Adv.

In the near future Delaware will
be one of the greatest producers of
fine grade apples of all states Of the
United States, and possibly in the
world. There are many large or
chards planted. and while the growers
like Soper, Bancroft and Derby are
the pioneers and have orchards twenty
years old, yet the modern orchards
which are now coming into bearing.
excel the orchards of the earlier
years. by reason Of the varieties which
have been found best suited to the
climate of Delaware, will be really the
orchards which will put Delaware on
the mitch Of fame as an apple pro-
ducer. The annual meeting of the
Delaware Apple Company at the great
orchards near Bridgeville. recently.
was a demonstration of Delaware from
apples. We were impressed with this
fact as the orchards were inspected.
The Sunday Star editorially says of
.his particular meeting 1.-The an
nual inspection Of the big orchards of
the Delaware Apple Company at
Bridgevile on Thursday. July 1, served
to open the eyes Of many of the visi-
tors to the wonderful possibilities
offered for scientific horticulture in
Delaware. Many Of the members of
the party were stockholders in the
apple company and were acquainted
with the great work under way. but
there were others to whom the great
orchard was an educating and stimu-
lating spectacle The handling of
ehis enterprise on such a large scale
should be a convincing proof that Del
aware is especially adapted for the
profitable growth of fruit. particularly
of apples The result of the inspec-
tion will be particularly encouraging
to the farmers on the Peninsula who
have recently engaged in the pro3uc.
tiOn of fruit. as we'll as those who are
about TO- undertake the planting of
fruit trees. One of the most interest
ing visitors was Francis n. Soper,
of Magnolia. Mr.. Soper is the father
fapple growing in this State, and is
well styled The Apple King - Mr..
Soper has lost none Of his enthusiasm
as an apple grower. but also makes
it clear that he is convinced that
Lower Delaware and the Peninsula
are again to become leaders in peach
groNing in this country. Many of
the trees planted four years ago in
the Delaware Apple Company orchard
are bearing apples already. The av-
erage period required for apple trees
to mature is seven years. If the
trees in this orchard continue to grow
in the next three years as they have
so far one Of the biggest problems to
be solved will be he's to get their
enormous yield of fruit to market.
The inspection Of the orchards is now
an annual affair. and much interest is
taken in it by some of the most pro.
gressive business men in the State,
and ssthose who telieve in the big pos.
sibilities offered fruit growers on tn,
