THE S FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY. MARCH 28, 1897. HONORS TO SANTA CLARN'S SENATOR Enthusiastic Reception to| Hon. H. V. Morehouse at San Jose. Congress to yote against and oppose this mens- ure. How did I vote? Just as 1 promised— against the funding bill. Nor is that all. We want a waterwey to San Francisco. We want the Alviso Slough dredged aud opendd, and steamers comiug and goiug, bringing and carryingout the freight of thig city and county. 1t was said that the railroad company was sgainst this measure, and yet niad it not been for my voice and vote upon the floor of the Senate the billcould not have pussed: and behold I, who am charged by the small-brained politicien, who never has and who ne ill_do auything for his county or country. with belng u railroad hireling, gave $25,000 appro on to the Governor for to dredge this channel and lay the n for &n Artery of commerc: osed it it could never have become a law; with my support it stands a law so farass Legislature can make it. | “These sre some of the things which I have ass'sted in accomplishing.

[ SAN JOSE, Carn, March 27.—The re-| ception tendered to Senator H. V. More- | house in this city this evening was one of | the most enthusiastic ever accorded a pol- itician in Santa Clara County. A large! crowd, representing all political parties and including maeny ladies, braved a | heavy rainstorm to gather in Hale’s Hail, and hundreds who could not be accommo- | dated with seats remained standing in | order to hear the discourse of the eloquent | speaker. The Fifth Regiment band, which was in attendarce, entertained the gathering unti! the arrival of the gue honor, and his entrance was the for a round of deafening applaus | Senator Morehouse was introduced to | the audience by Louis 0’ Neal, who nomi- | nated him in convention for the office to | which he was elected. Mr. O'Neal re- ferred to the magnificent manuer in which Senator Morehouse had shown | himself worthy of the confidence which | the public had placed in his honor, integ- | rity, statesmanship and courage, and | stated that by his course in the Senate he | had won for himself an enviable place in | the estimation of the people of the whole | State. When Senator Morehouse arose he was greeted with deafening applause, which lasted for some time. When order was restored the speaker said: Ladies and Gentlemen: I am very glad in deed to be again permitted to appear before my own people aud to have this opportunity of addressing them. Ever since my return from Seeramento I have been the recipient of kind greetings, the warm pressure of homest nands and the hearty congratulations, which show that my humble efforts meet the ap- | proval of my constituency. Ihave dove my auty. sure that you know it. such meeting as this.

The whole State has heard from me. | True, the Sen Francisco Examiner bas sought | by innuendo and falsehood, by scurrility and | abuse, to defame me, yet its atiacks have only drawn my frie When I reached | the State capital the first thing done was for | the Republican members of the Senate 10 or- ganize a caucus. What did that caucus do ? | 1t first took the list of attaches of the previous | Senate and the payroll and cut off all unneces: sary attaches and reduced salaries to the ex- tent of sav State $345 perday, or & | total saving of $26,448 for the session. | 1 speak of this only to show you that this Senate had the good of the peovle at neert. We xept that pledge. | Triext bent my energies to obtain the needed | legislation for my own county. Take the State Normal School: I got for it, with the as- | sistance of my colleagues in both branches of | the Legisiature, the requisite appropriations | to maintain and carry on that grand home of | learning. Noristhatall. Igotan sppropria- | tion, now in the hands of the Governor, of | #10,000 to build & gymnasium on the normal | grounds, so that the young ladies and gentle- | men attending this great State school might | have a home for physical development. Nor | did we stop there. We got put in the general approvriation bill an item of $5000 for keep- ing the normal grounds in repair, that the lawns might be cared for end the parterres of flowers might be kept, and the walks im- proved and the trees trimmed. Thus for the | next_two years we may hope to see the San | Jose State Normal School a seat of learning adding honor and glory to our city and county, Nor did we stop there. We passed a bill granting to the city of San Jose the right sand | power to build the high school on the normal grounds, thus saving to_the public the neces- sity of paying §20,000 for & 1ot of land, and builaing & $55,000 schoolhouse; o0 tnat now | our School Trustees will erect’ an imposing | and handsome structure, costing 75000 Then, out on. the Normai ' 1ot, ss peopie pass by, they will behold temples ¢f learning and beautifal grounds and shaded waike, and our city will b what it is destined 10 become—the | Athens of the Pacific Coast.

Now. 1 believe in newspapers. 1 believe fn that high-minded,noble class of papers which try 1o elevate the public morals, educate. set d grand things of our zation. The responsi- ress are very great. /The news- takes the standard of truth and right, and strives not only to furaish the 2ws af the day from all over the world, but in view the uplifting of hu- , the promotion of the best intercsts of untry, becomes a facter or has influence ¢ and ou: the in molding the thought and progress and greatness of the nation thatno one but God Can estimate. But when a newspaper has no other object or aim than to appeal to vice, iousness and crime, and seeks to live not on honor, put revels in dishonor, then the ne has come when an_educeted and honest public sentiment should drive sucha paper outof the market. Let us see the truth. There was pending in islature a bill known as Assembly bill No. 273, u bill framed to change section 170 of the Code of Civil Procedure of this State. It contained only the provisions now applicable o Justice’s Courts, and gavo s litigant a right to file an afidavit that he could not get a fair and impartial trial by reason of the bias or prejudict of the Judge; and upon filing such aflidavic_the Judge, if there were more than onein the county, should send the cause to some other Judge in the county, or if only one Judga in the county theu to some other Judge or call on some other Judge to try the case. This was the effect of the bill. "It passed the Assembly and came {o the Senate. Upon its Ccoming up for the third reading, on February 3,1 moved to deny ita third reading. The motion was lost. 1opposed the bill on two grounds: first that I wanted it to apply to criminal as well as civil cases, and because the sflidavit ought to set forth the facts wherein the bias or the prejudice of the Judge consisted. But, it was claimed by the Sena- tors favoring the law that it did so provide, end that ] was mistaken as fo my construc- tion of the proposed bill. Thereupon a mo- tion was made that the vote be postponed the next day. Upon the nmextday—the day or February—the final vote was wnd heving nointerest, direotly or in- , in the bill, upon the request of Sena- giord of San' Joaquin and W. F. Herrin, ersonal iriend, by telegram, I voted for No one was there lobbying fur or st the bill. No man approached me than I have just stated, but with the purest of motives and purpose I cast my vote for the measure. Now note the result: On Saturday, the 27th of February, without auy reason or truth, the San Francisco Examiner came out and charged in aid of thievery—Thousands of dollars corruptly paid members of the Legislature to influ- ence thelr vote—Without a shadow of doubt mem- bers of the Assembly and members of the Senate were Lribed to support the bill~The price paid for escli vote bought in the lower house was $150—In the Senate a vote brought all the way from $350 to $500. Now, as T had voted for the bill I was neces- sarily included in this charge. I could not sit still and besr the burden of thus being charged a felon. Iarose from my seat and de- nounced the article as faras 1 was concerned #salie, and the author thereot as a liar. And it was, and js, a lie. And the author thereof was, and is, a liar, Wh hould Tdo? What should an honor- ate do? would you have done? have sat in_ your seat and let a falsehood like this pass by? No. No man who wes innocent could dare sitstiil and-have this lying sheet brand felon and coward upon his forchead. Ouly a guilty man would per- mwit this libel to_stand unchallenged. I chal- lenged the ariicle then and there. There was no mistake in my utterauce. The next day the Examiner said: The Legislature determined to know the truth— he innocent bent on bringing venal members to book.—Explanation Monday morning. 10 then, in the body of the article, said: In the Senate to-day Mr. Morehouse defined his by an emj hatic assertion of his own honest intention In voing for the meas- ind denying the truth of charges that had been made agalnst bim. 1 be thus seen that only the next day miner acquits me fully. I then had no fight against the Examiner and it had no fight sgainst me. But what should Ido? Should I and all of the other members of the Senate stand quietly by and have the body, or any member of the body, thus charged snd not prove the truth? No._ Then, on_the Monday following—that is, thelst of March—I introduced a resolution demanding an investigation, and had a com- mittce appointed with full powers. We wanted the truth. If there was a member of our body Ity ot taking bribes I wax the Senate wanted—to know that man, could expel er said it was so. To the Examiner, then, we must ook for our prooi, and as it said eyond a shadow of a doubt,” we supposed that that paper could and would furnish us the fects. We had no grievance against the Examiner, forif it bad written and published the tratn then it desorved the high- est_commendation, We were reaay, uot to condemn it, but to praise it. But behold the resul editor and its reporters. Th hed nothing. They knew nothing. The truth is that that paper had wiilially and deliberately lied. . We cafled before the committee and put under onth every mem ber of the Legisiature, and not one hed ever bzen approached, or knew of any money being paid, or had been paid any sum whaiever, or knéw of any one having been paid, or of any person having mouey, or any lobby for or against the bill. We put on the stand the men who wrote the article, and the editor who supervised its publication, ana they knew nothing. They couid not give a fact. They knew that the article was false, We subpenaed its | and that they published the same because they hed probably sold the columns of that paper to defeat the measure before the Gov- ernor by falsely charging the members of. the Legislature, Like curs at bay the vile slanderers when put to the proof hid behind a refusal to swer, and the Senate under its Jawful powers committed them for contempt. ¥They took out s | a writ of habess corpus before Judge Hughes in the Superior Court and were sgain com- Again they applied to the Su- preme Court of the State for another writ and agein by the unanimous decision of that learned conrt they are remanded to jail. Now like hounds, as they are, they skuik and hide away from the Sherlff uniil a writ 18 issued by Judge Morrow of the United States District Court, and they aro_again remanded. Again they appesl to the higher court so that time may pass snd the Legisiature adjourn, for they have learned from their attorneys that tho Senate’s power terminates with the sess sion. All the way through with cowardice, iraud and falsehood this dastaraly and lying sheet has skulked and lied and slandered. Why, then, aiter acquitting me does it at- | tack? ‘Becatse A. M. Lawrence came to me and wanted me to introduce in the Senate a lution turning over the whole investige- tion 10 the Examiner, and because I wouid not do f0 and because I choose to push the inves- gation 10 the end, and by so doing expose its falsehood and libel to the public, 1 am se- lected as the targes for its venomous and ma- Licious attacks, Have I done wrong? Nay: but the wrong is not in me nor in the Legisiature, but in this 1ying sheet, whose vile and corrupt reporter and the vile and cursed A, M. Lawrence would and did charge what they, and each of them, know o be faise. The wrong is not in punishing these men for contempt, for if they had any truth to utter they could speak. Why should they sit with ciosed mouths? Because the informa- tion was confidential, they say. If confiden- tisl, why then publish it? “Are published communications confidential? ‘What muist be the honor of a man who will _publisn & 16 to ruin aad injure and defame? What honor has & man who wiil publish & falsehood, charging = man with crime aud thon refusing to give that man the source of his informaiion? The fact is that the Examiner hes no infor- mation. This Lesislature was making an hon- estrecord. There wasnolobby aud no bribery or attompt at bribery, and this vile and sen- setional sheet—a curse to humsnity, & disgrace to our State and elvilization, a menace only to decency and respectability—this purveyor of falsehood and moral disease, finding that this record for uprightness and honor ever made in this S:ate, deliberately determined to makean attack and then stand by its falsehood, in the hope that its falsehood and poison would lodge in the minds of the people. ‘But, alas! the spell bioke. Throughout Sec- remento and the whole State to-night this demon of shame and crime stands_coxnvicted as a liar and poltroon. It has prostituled journalism to the basest of uses. It has louzht to defsme individuals because they are houest and dared stand up and present truth and right. Its purpose is to destroy all men who dare oppose them. But an_inno- cent and honest man can face them. Its at- tacks cannot harm. It has lied o long ana 50 oiten that no one can be found outside of an insane asylum who believes anything seen iu its columns, Its doom js written. Its power is gone. Iu this matter it stands con- victed and no man needs fear it. Onlyaman’s cuemies will read, except to Joath and de- spise it. No paper in the State of any re- spectability supports it, and daily I am told the people are ceasing to patronize it. Itlives only upon calumny and extortion, It is luying the foundation for legisiation which will ¢urb it, and has made certain the clection of any nominee whom it opposes in tne future. Take again the coyote scalp bill. Now I voted agsinst that bill. But what is there wronginit? I voted against it because we had passed a resolution for a constitutionsl emendment cresting a court of claims, and T belicved that the poople would adopt that amendment, and, it so, then every claim sgainst the State could be established by legal proot in a court of justice, aud when 50 established no guestion could arise #8 to the right of the Legislature to make an appropria- tion to pay such judgment. But the bill known as the coyote scalp bill does not pay out one dollar. Every clatm must be proved to the satisfac- tion of the Board of Examiners, which con- sists of the Governor, Secretary of State and Attorney-General. They are to take the proot and when, they are satisfied that the claim is just and honest, and not until then, a claim can be paid. Thus the bill is an honest one. It only pro- videsa fund ont of which honest claims can bo paid, but does not pay any dishonest claims. Why does not the Examiner state this? It attacks men who voted for it because they are Republicans, but does not say anything about the many Demoorats who voted for it, even including the Li-utenant-Governor. Is this honest or fair? Who Is Packard? A man who is indicted by the Grand Jury of Kern County. He sent dispatches. Did any one reply? No. Isitnot strange that there is no reply dis- pacch? Was there say money? If so, who bad 1t? What man took it? Woo got up the dl’l- patch scheme? Who was interested in it? No one but Packard and the Examiner. The truth is that the only corruption seen or known about the Legislature was the Ban Francisco Examiner and its hired pals. I heard nothing of the corruption about the coyote-seaip bill. 1 do not believe thatsuch men as Hon. F. C. Franck, Hon. D. L. With- ington and Lieutenant-Governor Jeter and the others in the Senate who voted for the bill are dishonest mer. 1do not know Packard. T did not see him; but this I firmly believe, that Packard was the hired tool of the San Francisco Examiner, whom it employed 10 send out telegrams to give that famous paper a sensation so as to Teiieve it from fis conviction of falsehood. 1do not believe that the penitentiary con- tains within its walls & greater and more as- tute sconndrel than A. M. Lawrence of the EX- aminer. That paper hires men to lie, and when they will not lie then the data furnished by the reporters is shaped in the office into falsehood. A reporier told me to-day that it often happened that when articles were sent 10 the Examiner by its reporters the reporters could not afterward tell their own writing be- cause some one having charge in the home office would change truth into falsenood. The fact is thut the Examiner i the hyena of modern journalism, & wild jackal living off filth &nd disease, iz Whose columns everything that is nasty and corrupt and licentious and unholy finds piace. It exists only to defame, and has an_existence only be- cause of the moral cowardice of public men. But the day dawns. The people are awaken- ing to the truth,and before many vears the public sentiment of California will be so strong, so great, €0 terrible and so mighty that laws will be passed making it a felony to publish such a paper, and no honest or decent citizen will take it or permit it to enter his household. Of course 1t will attack me, be- cause I have dared to “heard the lion in his Qen”; because I have dared toclutch this vilo thing by the throat and show to the State its falsenood and its calumny. Let it attack, and while I am not great I find that it has never failed to defame the great, whether living or dead. They ere the same hyena class who repeat- edly denounced the matchless Abraham Lin- coln from 1860 aown to the time of his un- timely death, and then sought to biacken his memory. They are the same gang of cow- ardly character assassins who called Roscoo Conkling a murderer and bounded him with reientless malice tiil he died. They are the ghouls who tattooed that malchless statesman, James G. Blaine, and then dug into his grave and fed with flendish glee upon his bones. They are the same hellish demons who char- acterized Ulysses S. Grant as a_drunkard and scoundrel while he was in tne ficld risking his life 0 preserve the Union. They are the same pack of wolves which slandered McKinley and published obgcene pictures of Mark Hanna. They have node cency or honesty and profess none, The time was when they could injure and harm, but the dey hes passed and I donotfear them—and why ?_Because I know I am right, and be- cause I know I have the warm and honest sup- vort of my own people, than whom no truer people can be found. Therefore, I rest content because, knowing the rectitude of my own life, 1 have no fear that falsehood can hurt me. And now, thanking you for FR kindness, your congratulations, your love and your iriendship, I bid you good-night. Senator Moreouse held the undivided attention of his large audience for an hour and a quarter. During this time he was repeatediy mterrupted by applause. The speaker was in excellent Voice, and at the close of his remarks was greeted with three rousing cheers. A large portion of the audiencs came forward to shake hands with the Senator after the meeting closed. ket i i MORTGAGE SALE PEEVENTED, Property of the Shasta Lumber Company Not Disposed Of. SAN JOSE. CArn., March 27.—A sale of the property of the Shasta Lumber Com- pany which was to have been made to- day Wi postponed by reazon of a re- straining order issued by Judge Lorigan against the San Jose Safe Deposit Bank of Savings at the instance of Wells, Fargo & Co. A suit is also filed against the bank by Wells, Farzo & Co. in which it is asked to have a decree of court setting aside the trust deed of the property held by the bank in the name of E. McLaughlin and John E. Auzerais. It is stated that the trust deed was executed to secure loans to the Shasta Lumber Company, which now . amount 0 $87.000. The Commercial and Savings Bank has a second lien on the property, in the form of a mortgage for $190,000, and Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank holds the thira iem, in the shape of a trust deed for $160,000. It 1s allegea that the first trust deed is void because it was not executed by a proper authorization of the board of directors, and, further, that an agresment was made that the mortgagor should pay the mortgage tax, which 1s contrary to the provisions of the constitution. Hearing of the matter will come up next Friday. ———— Burglars Taken to Uakland. SAN JOSE, Car., March 27.—E, J.

Lease of Quarters on the Miin Street for a Term of Years. “Sarsaparila Thirsty A Doctor to Prescribe With a Stick” for Citiz ‘ns. MILL VALLEY, Can, March 27.—A clever scheme by which the clause in the deeds of the Tamalpais Land and Water Company, prohibiting the sale of intoxica- ting liquors in Mill Valley, is to be cir- cumvented, has just come to lizhtand is to be sprung in a shors time. Apartments have been leased in & building on Throck- morton avenue, where one Maier is to open a drug-store. A Dr. Caldwell has been employed to take charge of the store and will occupy & private room, where he is to sizn pre- seriptions, so that the thirsty citizens of Mill Valley can get a drink of whisky without violating the strict letter of the law as laid down in the deedsof the Land ana Water Company. This company has sold all land in Mill Valley with the understanding that no person should sell or in any way dispose of intoxicating liquors for a certuin term of years, which expires in 1905. The penalty is the forfeiture of the property by “the person violating the agreement. This clause the company has been particular to enforce, and a number of prosecutions have resulted. 'he prohibitory clause in the deeds was the cause of the establishment of a saloon town near Mill Valley. This place was named East Mill Valley, but it has become known as *'Jagyille.” Owing to its distance from Mill Valley proper—about half a mile—it has never taken well, 0 liquor has been sold on the sly in Mill Valley. The lease which Maier has obtained to run his *‘druestore” is for three years, and Dr. Caldwell has made arrangements to take up nis residence here. What action the directors of the Tymals pais Land and Water Company will take cannot-be learned &t this time, but it is «aid that the company will employ every means 1n its power (o eaforce the clause in its deeds. The. doctor’s prescriptions are to be printed on small slips; and all he will be compelled todo will be to fill 1n the thirsty citizens’ names, sign the prescription and the bearer will ba_entitied to one glass of “‘medicated sarsaparilla with a stick.” The drug clerk will fill, the prescription at the counter. As many men’s blood becomes heated on a warm day, beer will be kept on hend to correct the evil. It isexpected that many fiew complaints and alarming com- plications will develop after the opening of the store. ARIZONA’S POLITICAL FEUD. Formal Charges Against Governor Frank- I Filed With the Interior Department. PH@ENIX, Ariz., March 27.—Uharges of inebriety abd misrepresenting the peo- ple of the Territory have been filed with the new Secretary of the Interior agaiust Governor Franklin. They are being prosecuted by Joel A. Alexander, the Democratic boss of the Territory, and by severai other prominent Democrats, and a secret agent of the In- terior Department has been here for the st week and has just returned 10 Wash- ington with a mass of evidence. The charges grew out of the Cuban mass-meeting held here some time ago, wherein Frankiin was denounced em- phatically for declaring fhat Arizona would furnish “not a ‘man” togo to the tront in case of war with Spain. After the meeting Governor Franklin denounced its instigators, and there has been lots of hard feeling between the executive and the local leaders of his party ever since, culminating recently in tie censure of the Governor by the Assembly. When seen to-day Governor Franklin said he had received no official copy of the charges and did not know what they were. He said he had made anemies by his stand sgainst the ‘“‘infamous prison contract’” and against refunding the Pima County warrants, He seemed to think these enemies were responsible for the charges. A Washington dispatch to the Arizona Republican says the charges against Franklin will be investigated before his sucoessor is appointed. T HIGHBINDERS AT STOCKTON. Seek to Obtain the Release of a Mongo- han Charged With Highway Rcboery. STOCKTON, CaL, March 27.—The po- lice are to-night looking after a number of highbinders who arrived this morning and during the day from San Francisco, and who are now located in the local Chinatown. They have made no demonstration as yet, and 1t is believed that they !l" here solely for the purpese of trying to Square the case against glock Yee Wah, a San Francisco highbinder, who is now in jail on & charge of highway robbery. Over a month ago Mock Yes Wah and three companions robbed the Chinese laundry at Lookeford, They were captured by Deputy Sherlffs Black and Wall before they reached Stockton. They had the purss taken from the Lockeford Mongolian with them. Mock Yee Wah was identified as a San Francisco highbinder who was out on bail on & charge of assault to murder in the metropolis.

Neill Do Haven Denies That He Said the Men Contracted to Battle at Lsast Ten Rounds. CARSON, Ngv,, March 27.—The story in A San Francisco daily to-day relative to the bargam the fighters are alleged to bave made with the kinetoscope people, whereby there was to have been no knock- out within ten round disposed of in the following: To the Editor of the Appeal : I wish to make a MARKSMEN IS Teply 10 the statement made by the telograph- 1o correspondent of the Chroaicle in_th ue of March 26. He quotes me as saying that there was an_agroment between the fighters and the kinetoscope people that they were to fight at lesst ten ronnds. His staiement is absolutely untrue. Mr. O'Brien, the corre- spondeut, came to me on several oceasions and stated that he had heard that there was such a burgain and wanted to know what I knew about it. 1 told him repeatedly that I knew nothin, of such a bargain made by any one and di not believe a word of it. I teld him mot to take notice of sueh rumors, for if he did it ‘would keep him busy, as & new rumor was started by some lunatic every hour. He camo again and again to me and tried his best to make me give some indorsement to the talk about the fighters being fixed. Lsoon formed the opinion that he was sent to me by Rathem, the Chronicle man, who 'was doing all he could to queer the fight, and T'Wwas purticularly oareful not 1o make any statement regarding the matter, except to deny any belief in the rumors which I con- 4 Sidered came from the same source where so many fakes came from—the man the Chronicle had in town and whom Mr. 0'Brien was assist- ing.

CHICAGO, ILn, March 2 A special to the Trioune from St. Louis says: Con- fidently expecting that Governor Stephens will sign the horse-breeders’ bill, which incicentally permits the licensing of prize- fights, the Olympic Athletic Club of St. Louis was incorporated to-day with a cap- ital stock of $100,000. Many St Louis men are interested, ana if necessity re- quired it could incorporate for $1,000,000. The availability of St. Louis as a central oint, easily accessible from all sections f the country, aud the further fact that Missouri will enjoy considerable of a- mo- nopoly in a pugilistic way, should the breeders’ bill be signed, are the considera- :ilo%s which led to the formation of the club. No big attraction in athletics will be eglected by the club. The first agtrac- tion which will be secured and the one which will initiate the new club will be.a contest between Sharkey and Maher, who have been matched to Iight some time s00n. The new club will offer a big purse for the men to meet here, and if necessity re- quires will outbid any other athletic club in the country. A New York club has offered $6000 for the match anc the jeast the St. Louis club would offer is $10,000. The new club pro- poses to have a battle between the leading lightweights of the werld on the same night of the Maher-Sharkey affair. e @BRIEN GETS THi DECISION: Bas the Better of Paddy Purtell in the Ring. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 27.—The at- traction at the Broadway Athletic Club tbis evening was a twenty-round catch weights between Dick O’Brien of Boston and Paddy Purtell of Kansas City.

The first of the preliminary bouts was between Eddis Goodbody of New York and Jack Doyle of Brooklyn, ten rounds at 112 pounds, which went to the limit. The referee decided in favor of Goodbody. The second bout was between Osear Gardner of Kansas City and Billy 0’'Brien of Newark, ten rounds, ut cateli weights. Aiter fighting two minutes and ten sec- onds of the fourth round the referze stopped the fight and gave Gardner the decision. - CETRGR S ~ Some Fievce Fighting. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 97.—Harry Fisher of Brooklyn gave Con Doyle of Chicago a terrible beating in their twenty- round bout at the Polo Athletic Club to- night. Doyle stood an awful drubbing, but had to succumb to Fisher's fierce onslaught in the seventeenth round. In that round Fisher pounded him all over the ring, and he was 8o clearly a beaten man that the referee mercifully stopped the contest and awarded it to Fisner. In the preliminary bouts John O'Brien got the decision over Mike Lyons afier fizhting eight rounds, and Howard Wil- son of Washineton knocked out Mike Roache of New York after two rounds of fierce fighting. —_— The Crexcent City Deyhy, NEW ORLEANS, La., March 27.—Ten thousand peopte saw the $10,500 Crescent.

Among other things is & vial, of Humphreys’ 77" for Colds, in the pocket. They find that other preventive meas- ures may be forgotten—that mistakes may be made about the weather—that expos- ure is often unavoidable, but *'77” in the pocket meets all emergencies. A certain proportion of the people are always afraid of catching Cold or Grip. The usual line of treatment prescribed by them is, that easily spoken injunctiont “‘tuke care of themselves.” Circumstances are not always favorable for following this good advice—something more is wanted and 1t is found in “77.”" It is the only thing that these “‘afraid-of-a-cold” people can find that will prevent Colds and Grip. “77" always breaks up stubborn Colds that “hang on.” Dr. Humphreys' Homeopaihic Manual of Dis- eases at your Druggist’s or Mailea Free.
