McKeever had the better of four rounds, but in the fifth Lavigne knocked him down with a right-hand swing on the ii jaw. Lavigne did the most of the leading, but McKeever escaped the majority of these by ducking, at the same time elther send- ing his right across on the body or the left on the face. At short range McKeever was the quicker and more effective than the champion, who, however, was much the stiffer puncher. Lavigne used his left almost exclusively at long range, while McKeever several times sent the ‘Kid's’ head back with straignt lefts and varied these with the right on the body. GoD IN ALL ze HE INAUGURALS. Reference to a the Presidents” From the New York Séq! God has been invéited in every presiden- tial inaugural address save one. In some instances the invocation has been made in the beginning of the7address, and in near- ly all divine guidance has been invoked in the last words. .. President McKinlay hastened to invoke “the guidance of Almighty God.” In fact. the first paragraph,of his inaugural is suf- ficiently reverentiof 0 satisfy the most exacting. The inau; al closes with a pe- tition to the “Lord Most High,” an ap- pellation which no former President used on a similar occasion. Washington's first inaugural, in its open- full of mention of the “Almighty Great Author,” and ‘Smiles of “Providence” was invoked in the last paragraph. JA his second inaugu- ral there was no reference to God John Adams acknowledged an “Overrul- ing Providence” in the beg@ning of his in- augural, and in the close of the address reference: were made to the “Being Su- preme Over All," “Patron of Order,” “Fountain of Justice,” and “Protector of Virtvovs Liberty.” Thomas .Jefferson called upon “That In- finite Power” in (he last section of his in- augural, and supplicated “That Being” in his. second address. The second address also contained the word “Creator,” refer- ring to God, and there was part of a para- graph touching on Christian religion. James Madison acknowledged the ‘“Al- ‘me Bein; All ve in One Case. Crusnde Against Sunday Ball, Sunday ball playing is to be contested by the ministers of Cleveland to the last ditch. At a meeting of the Union Ministers’ Asso- clation yesterday a resolution was intro- duced to appoint a committee to call on the proprietors and managers of the Cleve- land Base Ball Club and request them not to outrage the sensibilities of the people of Cleveland by playing Sunday ball. An améidment was offered to- have the com- mittee, in case this remonstrance failed, carry it to the city authorities and influ- ence them in every legitimate way to stop the Sunday playing, After a debate which lasted the better part of an hour, the res- olutien and amendment were both adopted.

A schedule was submitted, but refused, and a complete revision was necessary. The meeting adjourned for the day without any other business being done. ‘The schedule committee worked through the afternoon and part of the evening, but had completed the proposed schedule only to June 13 when the magnates met again late last evenir g. Consequently nothing of importance was accomplished at last night's session, The sale of the Grand Rapids team 2rd franchise to Messrs.Lead- ley and Glenalyin of Detroit was unani- mously ratified by the league.

There was considerable discussion regarding railroad routes and figures, but no decision of im- portance wae arrived at, nor was any trad- ing of players announced. The meeting ad- Friday afternoon, was held in Baltimore yesterday afterncon from the residence of his mother. The officiating clergymen were the Rev. Joseph S. Whittington and Rev. F. G. Porter of the Waverly Metho- dist Episcopal Church. The pall-bearers were President Charles H. Byrne of the Brooklyn Base Ball Club, A. J. Lyons of Brocklyn and four members of the Balti- more Lodge of Elks. The floral. offerings were exceptionally handsome. The Elks sent a wreath of Iil- fe, the Baltimore Base Ball Club a wreath of roses and the Brooklyn club a wreath of ivy end roses. The interment was at Lou- don Park, where a male quartet sang over the grave. The Elks also held the serv- ices of the order. : Sutton Defeats Spinks. In the play off of ties for first money in the billiard tournament at Pittsburg last night Sutton defeated Spinks by steady work throughout.

James Monroe in the beginning of his inaugural acknowledged * that the “Al- mighty had been graciously pleased,” &c., and in the close of his second inaugural he spoke of the “Subreme Author” and “Al- mighty God.” John Quincy Adams referred to being in the “presence of heaven” in the opening of his inaugural, and in the close he quoted the text, “If the Lord keepeth not the city the watehman waketh in vain.” " Andrew Jackson in his first address in- voked “That Power” and in closing ask- ed “His divine care and benediction.” In his second inaugural he made a “most fervent prayer to that Almighty Being.’ Martin Van Buren, in the first of his in- avgural, “hoped for the sustaining support of an ever-watchful and beneficent Power,'t ard in closing he “looked to that Divine Beirg.” William Henry Harrison’s inaugural was the most voluminous yet delivered. It was made up of more than 8,000 words. The “Beneficent Creator’ was mentioned once, and “that Good Being.” John Tyler, who succeeded Harrison a few weeks later, printed his inaugural in the rewspapers. He “looked to an all- wise atd all-powerful Being who made me,” and “trusted in the ever-watchful and ever-ruling Providence.” James K. Polk tnvoked the Ruler of the Universe,” the “Divine Being.” “Almighty and supplicated HIS RARE HEROISM. eseceede eue ease sagouoss sean A Miner Crushed in Saving His Com- rades’ Lives. Spokane Cor. of the San Francisco Examiner. A rare act of heroism, such as deserves to be recorded in history and song, was performed at Rossland, B. C., today, which saved the lives of two miners and proved piain Jim Hemsworth to be one of nature's noblemen. The Victoria Cross has been bestowed on many less entitled to it than Hemsworth, and there is no doubt that his brave deed of today will be recognized by the bestow- al of a similar honor should the hero sur- vive the injuries that he received in sav- ing the lives of his comrades. It was at the shaft of the Young America mine at the Rossland camp that Jem Smith and Frank Conson came so near meeting with a frightful death, which, must have been certain and swift but for the prompt and heroic act of their comrade above, who in saving their lives did so at the risk of his own. Smith and Conson were working at the bottom of a narrow shaft, at a depth of nearly 150 feet, engaged in loading ore irto an iron-bound bucket, while Jim Hemsworth’s duty consisted in hauling the bucket to the surface by means of a wind- lass. The heavy bucket, filled with ore, had almost reached the top of the shaft, when the iron crank of the windlass suddenly snapped in two like a bit of pine, hurl- ing Hemsworth to the ground. Springing to his feet, half dazed by the blow, Hems- worth saw the windlass whirling around at a frightful rate of speed as the loaded bucket shot down the shaft upon the men below. He had not a second to lose. There was just one chance to save them, and he took that chance. Jumping forward, he threw his body upon the cogs of the whirling windlass, thrusting his arms and shoulder between the swiftly revolving wheels. Their iron Jaws crunched and tore the Colam*in, Standard Of the world of . Fashion In Bicycles has condemned as vulgar and in “bad form” the gaudily painted wheel.

Ave GSOO006 With an awful jerk the loaded bucket stopped just above the heads of the two terrified miners far down in the shaft. Pale as death, and with the blood flowing from him in streams, and suffering intense agony, he never uttered a cry nor even a sound as the jaws of the wheels pinioned him fast, as in a vice. Superintendent Shields witnessed the ac- cident from a short distance away, but so horrified was he at the sight that for a moment he stood as if paralyzed. Quickly recovering his faculties, he rushed to Hemsworth’s aid, and in a twinkling had blocked the machinery and caused Hems- worth to be released from his perilous po- sition. As Hemsworth staggered back and was about to fall, Shields caught him in his arms, at the same time exclaiming, “My God, Jim, this is awful!” “Oh, what’s the difference,” answered the plucky fellow, “so long as I saved the boys?” 200 OO8SSES CHOSOTORSTACS Q66S Sess sooenen canncece We Shall Vacate On April Ist.

Members of last year’s Princeton ’Varsity base ball team began practice in the cage yesterday. Wheeler, ‘07, last season's sub- stitute second baseman, who has been re- Med upon to play shortstop this spring, will be unable to fill the position, owing to @ gunshot wound in the hand. This leaves three positions to be filled. Kafer,the fresh- man catcher, is doing brilliant work, and is sure to play behind the bat for the Tigers. For the vacant positions at third base and shortstop there are several good freshmen candidates. “Billy” Earle, the old Chicago league player, has been secured to coach the team. He will begin work on March 20. The W. A. C. Win Two Games From the Saengerbund Team. The Washington Athletic Club bowling team last night paid a visit to the Saen- gerbund bewling team and rolled a match set of ten pins. The Washingtons won both games by small margins. In the first the Weshingtons put up a score of 750 to by the Saengerbund, winning by the small margin of fifteen pins. Bruegger in this game made the high score of 204, the highest of the set. The second game was also won by the Washingtons, with a score of 730 io 717 by the Saengerbund, a difference of only thir- teen’ pins. Bruegger made the _ highest average for the set, 160 pins.

From the New York Sun. “Do fashions in dog clothes change? Well, yes ard no both,” was the reply of a de- signer,and menufacturer of all articles use- ful and crnamental for dogs. “Properly speaking, there are no dog clothes made for the trade beyond the or- dinary blankets, collars and shoes. The blankets of thia season vary little in shape from those of last season, though there is a marked change in the trimmings. Now these blankets"—showing several handsome tailor-made garments in dark blue, oli and several shades of tan broadcloth— our latest designs. You see they are som2- what smaller than those worn last seasun, and the trimming of plaited leather and gold and silver lace is the very latest thing. The collars of these blankets, or coats, as they are more properly called, are narrower than formerly and more rounding. In all garments of this quality we put these sictle pockets, in which the dog’s handkerchief is carried. “Besides these custom-made garments for the regular trade we do a large business in making garments to order. Very often we have an order from persons for a set of garments to be made from cloth to match certain gowns or suits which the mistresses intend to wear when taking their pets out. Of course such orders come from persons with whom expense is no considerattor. One of our tailors is sent up to measure the dog, and later to try on the garments. We eccasionally make trousers for dogs with weak lungs, but these are always made l-y special order, and one can easily see why no garments beyond those mentioned could be made for the regular trade. It would be next to impossible to get any kind of a fit unless the deg was. especially measured. Even blankets very often have to be fitted when bought ready made. But I'm glad to say that those women who carry their fad so far as to wish their pets clothed after the manner of men and women are few in this country, though I am told they are somewhat more numerous in England. “Now, the fashions in collars usually change about every six months, and every dog fancier can tell you at a glance whether a dog’s collsr is out of style or not. Here are some of our latest designs for spring collars in solid silver. This one, you see, is of tortoise alligator, and you will notice the beauty of the polisn. It is about an inch and a quarter wide, with these carved silver nail heads in groups of five. “Do ve often embalm dogs? Oh, yes; there are more dog..funerals now than formerly, and the bigfes are generally e: balmed. We are nolffiéd of a dog’s death, and take the dog im charge, making all the preparations for jte funeral. The cof- fins are always mg@e to order, and the flowers used are always those specified by the owner. Of course; the animal has to be interred on privatg property.” When asked about fu fashionable dog, Dr. H. Clay Glover ld: “The Boston terrlér is undoubtedly the dog of the hour in thts country.
