Charley Mitchell was born at
Birmingham, England. Nov. "a,
1861. Although he fought many
ring battles against big men like
sullivan. COrbett. Cardife, McCaf-
fiery. KiIrain and Murke Mitchell
was a midGleweight pusilist, never
turning the scales az more than 1874
pounds when in perfect condition.
His remarkably fas- footwork and
skilful boxing offset this advantage
in weight and he proved TO be
equally effective as punisher when
fighting either with or without pad
ded gloves.

Devil or Saint L?

You all know" said Mr.. Goutschkor
in this memorable address, what tlr-
rible drama Russia is living through at
present. With SORROW in our hearts and
with terror in our souls we have fol-
lowed it's developments, and we are
dreading its consequences. Standing In
the very heart of this drama we see a
mysterious, enigmatical, tragi-comical
figure, who seems to have come out of
the dark ages, which we believed had
passed away forever, into the full light
of the twentieth century. Perhaps this
figure is that of a sectarian of the worst
kind who is trying to popularizs
amongst us his mystical rites; perhaps
il is that of an adventurer seeking to
hide under the cloak of religious ia
naticism and superstition his numerous
swindles. BY what means has this in
dividual succeeded in rising to such a
prominent position and in acquiring
such an influence which even the d sni-
taries OF our church, together with the
highest functionaries in our state, ac-
knowledge and which they seek to pro-
pitate?
eff we had had to do with only this
one figure which had made its way on
the field of religious superstition and
which has thriven, thanks to an exalt-
ed spirit of mysticism, a state of mind
which, though not perhaps bordering on
insanity, is yet not quite normal, then
we should have said nothing. We might
have regretted the fact; we might even
have wept over it, but we would not
have spoken about il.
But unfortunately this figure is not
standing alone. Behind 1t there is a
whole crew, strong and varied. unscrup-
ulous and grasping, which is taking adj
vantage of it's position and of the tai
ents of persuasion which it may pos
sess Amongst this crew there are to
be found journalists in want of copy
shady business men, adventurers of ev-
ery kind and sort 1t is they who are
the moving spirits in all this sad HIS
tory; it is they who inspire it, they who
tell it what it is to do. They consti-
tute a kind of commercial enterprise
and they understand how to play their
game in the most clever manner.
Before such a spectacle it is our
duty to cry out as loud as we can that
one ought to beware of all those peo-
pie, and that the church-our church.
and the country-our country-hnd
themselves in imminent danger. because
no revolution and no anti-Christian ro-
paganda have ever done them more
harm than the events which are daily
taking place under our eyes for the
last twelve months"

Gerard to Testify

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE senate
military committee today decided to
hear former Ambassador Gerard testi-
fy to what warnings he gave the gov
eminent that 1t was likely to be drawn
into the war against Germany. The
former ambassador will be heard at his
own request.
The request was made in a telegram
from Mr.. Gerard TO Senator Wadsworth
who submitted il to Chairman Cham
berlain. Owing to the fact that Sec
rotary Baker is now appearing before
the committee. it was decided not to
call Mr.. Gerard at present but to give
him an opportunity to appear later. No
date has been fixed.

NEW YORK, Jan. H.-An irregular opening
was followed by renewed steadiness in the
cotton market today on covering and continued
trade buying. Some Of the people who had
sold toward the end of last week the in
trading IN futures. appeared to be among the
buyers and there evidently feeling around
the ring that there was little probability Of
drastic legislation. January was Is points
higher at the opening while other months were
TO ID points lower. but prices very soon
rallied and before the end of the first hour
we're about 10 to II points net higher with
March selling at 313O and May at 1895. The
weather map was considered favorable and
showed some rain in the southwest. Liverpool
reported a good undertvne. especially e
near months.
There was enough Wall street and western
selling to cause reactions OF several points but
the market firmed up again before midday on
continued trade buying and renewed covering.
The western belt forecast for generally fai-
weather in Texas seemed to diSappoint some OF
the early sellers. AMI stop orders were uncovered
on the advance which carried March up to
~ go and MAY TO 31.24. or about 80 to 40
points net higher.
but in the absence of any increase in offerings,
prices held generally firm on the basis OF
81 81 for March and 31.24 for May. Southern
spot market reports indicated that holders were
refusing to make any price concessions.
