 A big crowd of sports chartered a steamship to carry them to lonely spot where they would not be in terfered with by the authorities, and, place, a. site was finally found and the ring was pitched. The S1asher- was a fa.vorite in the betting, but Savers had many friends who behev- ed that he would be the victor, in spite of the Slasher's advantage of fifty pounds in weight and over four inches in height.
 Perry started the proceedings with a feroc1ous swing for Toms head, but the little fellow nimbly escaped. In the second chapter the Slasher land ed on Toms ribs, but the latter countered with a. blow to the mouth that brought first blood. Perry seem ed dazed. but it was more with won der at the tenerity of the little un than the effect of the blow. Then the Slasher set in to clean Up the little shrimp but Tom danced all around the ring, following much the same tactics as Jim Corbett lated used in his battle with John L. Sullivan. The Slasher let loose blows that would have Knocked Savers to Kingdom come II they had f1auOGo 4SdiI1ys OuI Savers was able to dodge them all with ease. Savers hoped to tire the Slasher out until he was able to get in an effective blow, and the enraged Perry played right into his hands. tsSo Savers proceeded to make 8 fool of the veteran wrote reporter, ' ''now dancing around him like a wild Indian, now running from him as if he were in dread of his life.
 In the ninth round the S1asher was almost worn out by his exertfons, and Tom got in three stiff ones to the face, and the last sent the Slasher staggering to the ground. He man aged to scramble to his feet, but the Little Wonder had the giant so much at his mercy that Perry's second tossed in the sponge Savers later fought John Heenan, the American giant, for the worlds title, but the bout ended in a row, and was called a draw. Savers quit the ring after the Heenan bout in 1860, and died just half a century ago, the victim of dissi patton and fast living.

The occasion was feast of sporting men to celebrate the victory of Savers over Aaron Jones. It was a conviviaI affair, as were all sport ing dinners in those days, and as the glasses wer filled and emptied the tongues of the diners wagged merrily the topic of conversation, of course, being prize-h lighting.

 OF THE OAMPBEIAI CLAN

The Scottish clan of Campben,
 which has its representatives in every nook and corner of the world, has as its chief the Duke of Argyll.

 Baron Kintyre, Baron Sundridge, Baron Hamilton, Baron of Lochow,
 and the holder of score of other
 di gnities Passing them all in inn
 portance, from the Scottish viewpoint
 is his title of Mac Cailean Minor
 Chief of Clan Campbell, which has
 been held by his family since it was bestowed on Sir Colin Campbell by King Alexander III. in the latter part
 of the thirteenth century, To the Scotsman this title is vastly more il-
 Iustrious than that of Duke of Argyll. which dates only from 17O1.
 The ninth duke, predecessor of the
 present holder of the title, married
 Princess Louise, the fourth daughter
 of Queen Victoria The Campbells were of the opinion that the royal
 princess had made 8 brilliant match

 CaiIen Minor. The Chief of the Clan
 Campbell is tall and stalwart young man, and a dramatigt and composer of considerable ability, whose works are inspired by Celtic patriotism. He is a Gaelic student of renown, speaks the ancient language perfectly, and has devoted himself to perpetuating the customs, sports, pasdmes, tra,df- tions art and music of the Highland CTS The land holdings of the dukes of Argyll include many of the most picturesque and historic spots in

The ruins of the ancient ecclesiastical buildings were given in pefpetuity to the Church of Scotland by the eighth duke who feared that the Catholic tendencies of his grandson, the pres ent Chief of the Clan Campbell, might result in the transfer of the ruins to the church of Rome. The father of the present duke was a, banker and amassed an immense for tune, which was to go to his son and other heirs only on condition that they should not become Roman Catholics.

Bernstorff's. One Aim
To Keep y. Sat Peace
Ambassador Said to Believe Limit Has Been Reached
and That Maintenance of Friendly Relations Be-
tween America and Germany Is Necessary

ing to the German view, have prac-
tically the same object-free cohonneree
between the United States and Ger
many. Working together, there should
be way to bring this about. the Ger
mhns believe.
As To Peace Mediator.
There is the practical reason that
diplomats give for Ambassador Bern
storffs confidence of success. He
jumped into the opening when the
opening was widest and at a time
when the Issue was so acute that the
attention Of both nations was hxej
on the subject. Clearly understood by
both nations. he is said to believe, the
interests Of Germany and America
can be worked out together
Once freedom of commeros il re-
stored--if only so far as information
al law is supposed to guarantes--C3er-
mans say, and the outcome Of the war
that nothing but starvation can de
feat Germany, that she can hold her
lines intact on both the eastern and
the western fronts indefinitely, and
1t Is only a question of making terms
There enters then another and prob
ably a deciding factor to the ambas-
sador's alleged belief in his plan. viz
the question Of who is to act as me
diator when the peace negotiations
among the European countries begin
With the United States still occupy
ing her present unique position as
the only great power not Involved, Il
would be the United States. Germany
would want relations between herself
and the mediating country not to be
unfriendly.
Kaiser's Only Chance.
Nothing Is said as to tho terms that
Germany has in mind. but indemnity
from France and from Belgium are
known to figure in the calculations
Being able to anticipate the feeling
this country may have In tho matter
OF extracting tribute from Belgium
for which the setting free Of POLAND
might not seem sufficient compensa
ton. Germany knows she needs to i'm
prove her present relations with
America. Satisfactory adjustment oi
the issues involved In the Lusitanis
Incident and in her whole submarine
policy offers the only chance.
So, his friends say. the ambassado,
sees 1t. and they repeat he is expert
enced in diplomacy.
