While the original bill offered by
Senator Green provided for Is
round bouts, he later introduced an
amendment limiting them to 10
rounds. Three persons to be appoint
ed by the Governor, will constitute
a State Athletic Commission, accord
ing to the provisions of the bill.
While it had been planned to allow
each salary of $500, the bill was
later amended by Senator Green do
ing away with the salary provision.
There is also an amendment in the
bill limiting the salary of the sec
retary of the commission to $500.
Another amendment in the bill per-
mits the adoption of town ordinan-
ces to forbid boxing within five
miles of the town limits.
The bill limits each round to three
minutes. The contestants would
have to wear gloves weighing not
less than five ounces in a light
weight or lower weight class. A con-
testant, heavier than the lightweight
class, would be allowed six ounce
gloves. The measure requires that
two licensed judges, licensed ref
cree and a physician be present at
the bouts. Each contestant is re-
quired to be examined by the physi-
clan within three hours before en-
tering the ring.
License fees for the corporation

did good work. Milford and Dover
Fire Companies responded quickly,
but did not go in service. Their
work of arriving on the fire scene
so promptly highly appreciated by
the townspeople. More considera-
tion should be given by the citizens
of Bowers relative to their fire ap-
paratus. There should be fire
house built. Now is the time to
consider fire matters. not after the
town is fire-swept.

Among the smaller articles that tempt

OF the number enumerated three only

namely stamps, coins and shells. The
stamps are apt to be held in books, so
they can easily be disposed of from the
decorators point of view.
Coins and shells are not so manage

to be so placed that they suit room or
are quelled. so that they are not over
conspicuous. A mans den and a library
are the places for such collections.
Sometimes the space at the head of a

admirably. If a house is large enough
an entire room may be devoted to a COL

The person who is collector may
find that his pieces contribute to the
decorative or the practical side of fur
nishings, or they may be the sort that
require to be handled with the utmost
skill not to interfere with the attractive
ness of rooms. The zeal for collecting
follows individual interest and cannot
be curbed by the thought of housing or
the collecting spirit is broken. It is i'm
portant for the homemaker to realize
the limitations of collection or its
helpfulness in plans for decoration
She can count herself fortunate if her
collections and those of other members
Of a family are helpful.
Rugs and furniture are two of the
best sorts of collections from the home
decorators point of view. These fulfill
a double part perfectly. Floors are
attractive when each article is thus
carefully bought. Such buying is not
always costly either. Individual pieces
are sought and these can be substituted
for inferior pieces which can be rele-
gated to other rooms until gradually a
house is furnished with choice pieces of
furniture or handsome rugs without ex-
travagant outlay.
1t is for the collector to watch oppor-
tunities to get what he seeks at lowest
prices. If the purse is limited, he or
she is sure to pick up interesting pieces
without paying high sums for them.

BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

March 8, l861.-The secesSionists
have been eagerly expecting the arrival
of eX-Gov. Roman of Louisiana, the
third commissioner from the Southern
States. They have been threatening
war to the knife" on the part Of the
seeded States, to commence soon after
Mr.. Romans arrival, when the Gov
eminent of the United States is eX-
pected to decline TO recognize them In
any capacity other than that Of distin-
gulshed citizens Of the States in which
they respectively reside.
When body Of secessionists in cleri-
cal positions under the Government
here signed published paper announc-
ing their intention to resign on the adj
vent Of the new administration, Mr..
W. w. Lester of, the Interior Depart
ment, who is one of the best known
and most efficient employees and the
compiler of work on the land laws,
regulations and decisions of the Gov
eminent, refused to append his name.
There have since been reports that
Mr.. Lester was removed, but these are
denied today. The truth is that when
the new administration came in on
March and Abraham Lincoln took the
oath as President Of the United States,
Mr.. Lester resigned his place volun-
tarily before the new Secretary of the
Interior took charge OF the department,
Out Of this fact doubtless was manu-
featured the erroneous story of his re-
moval from the Government service.
The contest for Offices under the new
administration of President Lincoln
continues undated, and it will doubt
less be some weeks before President
Lincoln and the cabinet officers can
straighten everything out. This APP
plies not only to the Offices under the
Chief Executive. but to those in the
control of Congress directly. There is
a sharp battle for the post of super
intendent of printing, in which the
members of the printing craft are TAX
ing more than the usual interest. APP
parently the tight has narrowed down
today to Mr.. Defrees of Indiana and
Mr.. Barrett of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Thousands of gentlemen are here
with the hope of getting places under
the new administration. Many are
doomed to disappointment. They are
numerous because this is the
first time a man belonging to the Re-
publican party, which was organized
few years ago. has been
elevated to the presidency. The office
seekers come from all over the Northern
States.

Bughouses.


Dear me! We hear so much talk
about morons and completes these days
that we wonder whether the psychoIo-
gistS are not full of that since-war
stuff. Why must we have such fancy
names for nuts and cranks?
These psychoanalysts make such a
fuss about wuzzy people that one al
most wishes one could have some sort
of mental twist. 1t must be fine to
have science pay so much attention to
ones brains and adenoids.
But it's really the same people who
need attention, and it's the usual sort
of bughouse that needs the Spring
house cleaning. Our asylums are crowd
ed with inmates and the waiting list is
long, since there are so many people
who are crazy to get in. But there are
many more such folks on the outside.
I'm not referring to the women who
haunt bargain sales or the men who fill
the bleacherS at the base ball parks.
No, I'm thinking of the sensible people
who are on their way to the bughouse
of money.
know that it's all right, but not very
comfortable, to have some of the ma
yuma down in your stocking, especially
If you're little slim there, but that
isn't money madness. That doesn't urge
you 10 Duy Watered STOCK In Wall Street
or watered lots in Florida
1t isn't the women of today who are
bughouse about money. When a wom-
an makes little she spends it and has
something to show for her money. It's
the men who are making the Golden
Calf. do the song and dance, for men
are just daffy about money.
Then there is efficiency" Machines
were invented to save human labor, but
sometimes the laborer has to become a
part of the machine. Men may need
that sort of thing, for men have always
been drilled in armies, but you don't
find that a woman requires any eff
cheney expert to show her how to econo-
mize time, effort or anything else.
Woman works instinctively, does her
stuff the way bird builds It's nest. and
produces the results while man is MAX
ing the fancy calculations. Why try to
run her into the bughouse of efficiency?
Why not let the lady spider spin her
web?
But then, men must organize every
thing, and it's organization which is the
biggest bug in captivity today. We are
like bees in hive and ants in an ant
hill. There you have perfect organiza-
ton and there you have the big bug
