lead with bis right and the blow was |
of the dinkiest order. Tuostead of keep- |
ing his body rigid and throwing his
head back as was his usual custom in
allowing blows of this kind to slip by
his face, Corbett, under-estimating his
opponent's cunning, contemptuously
threw back his head and chest, thus
throwing his stomach forward, The
Australian's small eyes twinkled and
with paother-like speed he drew back
his lett with the forearm rigid and rip-
ped it up into the pit of Sim's stomach
a little under the heart. Corbett was
lifted about a foot off the ground, and
as he pitched forward, Fitzsimmons
swung his right on the jaw and Cor-
bett came heavily down on his knees.
He remained down for fifteen seconds
and Fitz retired to his corner, while
Referee Siler slowly anuounced the fa-
tal seconds. Reaching the last count
be threw up both his bands acd left
the ring.
Cries of “Foul” were repeated
throughout the arena and the crowd
clambered through the ropes and sur
rounded both men, Of course there
was no foul as Corbett was knocked
out fairly and no notice was taken of
the clamor. When Jim rose to his
feet with difficulty he seemed to fall

seconds supported him until be recov

idea is that the legislature should

All of the nice things said about Me-
Kinley's accessibility to callers during
his firat few days in the White House,
were rather too premature. He has
since adopted rules which, excepling
that they do not shut everybody out
one day in every week, are practically
the same as those made by Mr, Cleve
land, and it is now just as hard fora
private individual to get an interview
with Mr. McKinley as it was with Mr,
Cleveland. :
If the new tariff bill is what its fram-
ers call a “conservative’’ measure, it
would be decidedly interesting to know
what they would call radical. Al
though the country denounced and
drove from power the Republican par-
ty because of the high duties imposed
by the M¢Kinley tariff law, the aver-
age rates of duty to be imposed by the
new tariff bill have been made higher
than the McKinley bill. And about
the heaviest taxation carried by the
new bill is that imposed upon such ne-
cessities as sugar and clothing, There
may not be such plain sailing ahead of
this measure as Mr. McKinley and his
wildly and Fitzsimmons, without
raiging bis hends ducked the blows

The greajest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in poeumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for Ia grippe, we have yet
to learn of a single case having result-

clusively that this remedy is a certain
preventive of that dread disease. It
