5000 COLORED
MEN FOR ARMY
Vacancies in oath and 25th Infantries
and 9Th and 10th cavalries, to
be Filled at
Nnee


The order of the war department to
the effect that colored men may now
be enlisted into the United States
army means that there are vacancies
in the oath and 25th infantries and
Nitnh and Tenth cavalries, the only
four colored regiments in the entire
United States army. The law makes
this provision. About. 5000 colored
soldiers are needed at once.
The Tenth cavalry soldiers are the
fighters who achieved fame at San
Juan hill during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. Since that time they have
been known as THE Fighting Tenth. ;"
This is the first time in some years
that new colored recruits have been
accepted for the army. However,
previous service colored soldiers
have been joining from time to time.
They may enlist at any army re-
cruiting station or other depot or
post.

History of Products of Erin
in the Boxing Ring From,
Dan Donneily to Jim CoG
fey-Peter Maher and His
Career

It is often said that the Irish, who
ere respected the world over for their
lighting spirit, have won the battles
Of every nation but their own. Be
that as 1t may there Is no denying that
the Irish love fighting and fighters
and there is no denying that they pro-
duced many fighters to love.
The first and greatest Of 4.rin's ffstic
heroes was Sir Dan Donnelly, who Is
celebrated in song and story through
out Irish lore. There is many a white
haired son Of Ireland today who will
troll out in rich mellow brogue some
old come all ye" that has kept the
deeds of Donnelly ever green
Dan Donnelly was born in Dublin
in 1888. He was a docker by trade
and The hard work gave him prodig-
Gus strength. He was six feet tall and
weighed about 1876 pounds in condi-
ton.
DonneIly's first important fight was
with a famous English boxer by the
name Of Tom Hall Donnellv won in
fifteen rounds, and bontires were built
IN Dublin by his many admirers to
celebrate his victory, which, by the
way, was witnessed by over 10000
spectators.
Met All Corners.
DOnnelly's next battle was with
George Cooper, the most scientific
man in England. This contest. which
gave him his greatest fame. was
fought on the rCurragh of Kildare and
was witnessed by fully $4,000 people.
The Irish lad won in eleven rounds
Next he whipped Tom Oliver in
England. 1t is said that over $500. O,r0
were bet on the result in England and
Ireland. After this success the prince
regent conferred upon him the honor
Of knighthoOd for bravery.
In the midst of his greatest pros
perity, at the age of thirty two Sill
Dan suddenly died. His funeral was
one Of the largest ever seen in Dublin
He was buried in Bully's Acre, anC
his hearse was drawn from the church
to the graveyard by hundreds of PEG

MAKING HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Dangers of Poisoning TO Which the
Workers Are Exposed.

The making of modern munitions OF
war has brought into prominence sew
eral types OF industrial diseases hith-
erto almost unknown.
One of the most troublesome of these
is that commonly known as IT. n. T.
poisoning" due to exposure to the
fumes of tri-nitro-toluol or to the in
halation of dust generated In mixing
certain high explosives of which 1t
forms a constituent.
Unusual drowsiness, frontal head
ache and eczema are the first symp-
toms of T. N. T. poisoning, and work
ers so affected are promptly given
some other occupation, when the symp-
toms quickly disappear.
Less dangerous, but very trouble
some, is tetryl poisoning. Manipula-
ton of this explosive produces a light
dust, which gets into the mouth, nose
and eyes and sets up a painful sore
ness. accompanied by headache,
sea and an almost intolerable itching.
Curiously enough, individuals vary
very considerably in their susceptible
ity to tetryi poisoning. Some workers
are not all affected by it or only in a
very slight degree, while others can
hardly enter a room in which it is be-
ing handled without suffering severely.
Luckily tetryl poisoning does not en-
danger Ifs, nor ares the symptoms In
n case no severe as those due to T.
n. T. poisoning. Tetryl possesses the
annoying property, however, of stain
ing the skin and hair yellow, but
means Ia We been found of largely
countcrac;ing this if the workers care
to avail themselves of them.
Other industrial diseases of a similar
nature more or less prevalent In NUM-
ton works are due to handling fulmi-
nate of mercury, to exposure to the
fumes of a substance known as terra
chlorethane, to inhalation of various
other ~noxious fumes and dust gene
rated in the workshops by the differ
ent processes carried on there and also
from lead poisoning.
Yet another danger the munition
worker is exposed to is acute poison
ing due to the accidental escape of
nitrous fumes into the work places.
Many Of these cases are apt to termi-
nate fatally, for the gas Is extremely
deadly.-Pearson's Weekly.
