Miss Alice "W'oodbridge, of the 'Working-women'- s society, has recently been investi-gating the opportunities and wages in a great variety of occupations. She finds the factory worker is generally better paid than the saleswoman or stenographer. Girls in the silk mills receive the high average of f6 or $7 per week. The occupation of a sales-woman Las very little to commend itself. Toe hours are long, the work hard and in the big cities women rarely receive more than ?6 per week, though a few heads of de-partments may receive as much as $12 or $13. Stenography and typewriting were, up to a few years ago, quite lucrative, but plenty of women can be found to do that work now for from 13 to $5 per week, while the girl who can get $12 considers herself fortunate. The best occupation a girl can adopt is something new. Piano-tunin- g, silversmith and watch shops aud drug stores are new occupations that women could un-dertake. The occupation of a trained nurse is not overcrowded. There is a demand for them, and they receive from $lt to $25 per week. Every girl is not adapted for this work. She must be both physically and mentally fitted for it. Miss Woodbridge's conclusions are that the wo-men's trade of dressmaking and millinery afford the greatest opportunity for a girl. No machine is ever likely to be invented that will design, drape, fold and fit. It of-fers a girl the possibility of an independent business of her own some day, while the wages paid are very reasonable. Make Them Stockholders. One of the latest suggestions in regard to making railway employes to some extent stockholders of the railway company for which they work comes from the president of the Chesapeake fc Ohio railroad. In his last report to the stockholders, he and the directors recommend the establishment of a community of interests between employes and employers, by dividing the surplus earnings between stockholders and employes in proportion to the capital invested aud wages paid. For instance, if the capital was $00,000,000, and the amount pa d out in wages $5,000,000, and the surplus earnings $650,000 per year, he would pay the stock-holders 1 per cent on their capital and all employes who had been in the employ of the company one full year 1 per cent on their wages. As the earnings of the com-- pany increased the dividends to stockhold-ers and employes would be larger. In any event the employes would receive regular compensation, and would share to some ex-tent in the prosperity of the company. This system has beet adopted on one of the French railways and has been fouud to work satisfactorily. It would seem as if such a plan wou;d to a great extent do away with strikes and inaugurate a new and better era in the relations of corporations to their em-ployes. it is necessary for him to stand up for his rights he will be supported by his associ-ates. The sympathy between "the different divisions of labor is strong enough to help each other to secure justice, then unionism is a failure. There is another phase of the question. Labor has learned by experience that if a union quietly submits to .an injustice being put upon a fraction of its members, the in-justice will be extended until all have suf-fered what was at first offered oniy to a portion. If a union did not support a few in their just demands the union would cer-tainly lose these few and probably others. This, with the "picking off" plan of the employers, would in a short time destroy the union. Therefore the very life of the union depends upon the loyal sympathy of all organized labor expressed with judgment. When the demands of labor are just and all other methods of settlement have failed, tho public will always be in sympathy with the strikers although the sufferer from the injustice are few. Felix Holt. Labor Notes. New York unions are still talking politics. Indiana unions ere boycotting the state fair. The Miners' federation of Germany has 220 locals. The London Building Trades council rep-resents 10,500 men. The master printers of Denver are going to form a typothetx. New Toak wood carvers expect to win their eight-hou- r fight. Ohio river steamboat employes are agitat-ing the organization of a union. The percentage plan of paying union dues is meeting with universal favor. During July tho Trainmen's Brotherhood paid out $13,000 in death benefits. The Knights of Labor are opposed to the enlistment of members in the militia. A freight handlers' international union Is among the possibilities of the future. The waiters' union of Denver is one of the strongest in the Centennial state. Like their brethren here, the barbers of' Indianapolis are In favor of Sunday closing. England had 270 strikes in the last ten months. They blame McKinley ior most of them. In St. Paul .no distinction is made in wages of male and female teachers in the public schools. The machinists won their fight with the Wyandotte & Kansas City railroad. In union there is strength. Michigan lumber mill men are out for a ten-hou- r day at the eleven-hou- r wages which heretofore prevailed. The coachmen's union of New York has declared war on scab liverymen and under-takers. Lively funerals may conddently be expected. Fifty-fou- r stonecutters on the Vanderb'lt Why Hungarians Com Over. No wonder the miners of Hungary prefer to eoLue to this country and that ininy Uioauudi are employed in tae coal mines of the United siai.e. Xne daily wage of a reg-- u ar hand at the fiuimarian mines is from --2 to 40 cents per day. The wages in the mines are rather higher, being from 48 to 60 cents per day. The wages in the iron mines are lower, as they are generally in populous districts where living is cheap. Boys and women are also employed at about Tialf the above rates. Living is very cheap, although poor. A comfortable house can be got for $2 per month. Food and supplies are cheap and many mine-owne- rs sell them at a slight advance on cost. In many of the state mines a deduction on one-fourt- h per cent is made for the music fund. mansion, near iisneviue, . nave sirucK. for an increase of wages from 40 to 45 cents an hour. The strike at the Oliver Iron and Steel company's bolt factory in Pittsburg has been sutt.ed. Concessions were made on both sides. Two out of three of the militia companies of Nevada have decided to disband. The use of the militia in labor strikes is the cause assigned. . There is very little prospect of a settle-ment of the tailors' lockout in Denver. The matter is now in the hands of the state commissioner of labor. Two carloads of scab iron from the Carne-gie mills was sent back from Pittsburg re-cently as being uunt for use. Unskilled labor is dearer after all. Profit Sharing. There is no doubt but what profit sharing, when properly conducted, is a great benefit to both employer and it should be emploKQLourse 'nanaged judicio.Jiy7jd?'""so managed it will be a prosperous investment. It teaches employes thrift and shows them that care, interest, attention and skill mean greater profits to their employer and there-fore to themselves. When the workingman is given to understand that his employer means to allow him a fair show he is not forever thinking about strikes; he is attend-ing to business. His employer also thinks more highly of him when he has taken him into partnership as it were. In Mr. Oilman's recent book on 'Profit Sharing" he gives some interesting facts re-garding some experiments in profit sharing. He admits that the manufacture of woolen and cotton goods offers a rather unpromis-ing field for this system. Three years ago, however, the directors of a New England cotton mill resolved to try it. They had dis-cussed the plan for over a year, so did not enter into it hastily. The plan adopted was to pay not less than 6 per cent of the divi-dends for the next six months to the eni- - f loyea in proportion to the wages earned, t was estimated that this amount would be equal to the interest upon the full amount ot his wages for that time if placed in a savings bank. Every employe who had worked continuously for six months shared these dividends. The experiment ha been eminently successful. During the very low-est ebb of business the profit-sharin- g corpo-ration paid its stockholders regularly 12 per cent per annum and their employes over 3 yer cent upon their wages semi-annuall- Of the forty competing cotton corporations in the same place which were not profit sharing, their highest dividends were less than 10 per cent, while iu the lowest ebb of business the average was only 5 per cent, any many paid no dividends. We hear a good deal of profit sharing being well enough when business is good, but what will be done when there is loss instead of profits to share The answer to this qucs. tion seems to be that under a system ot profit sharing there is less likely to be a loss. It is also very probable that employes would be williug to forego profits, or even submit to a reduction in wages for a brief period of depression, if they knew they would reap part of the profits on a revival of business. An Efficient Wav. UULVU UUVUi MAO .DW b I. . Moines, Ia. On Labor Day 2D,000 people celebrated and numerous unions are being organized. Better late than never. Unorganized bakers in London work eighty hours a week. In Manchester union men work only fifty hours a week. Quite a difference between tweedle-de- e and tweedle-dum. Over 10,000 coal miners are out in the Monongahela district resisting a reduction from 33' to 3 cents a bushel. They do not believe in covering their light under the crest of a bushel. A number of the large typographical unions of the country have issued a call for a short hour convention to be held at Cincin-nati October 13. The indications are that there will be a large attendance. The potato diggers of Greeley, Col., have formed a union tor the purpose of regulat-ing prices. About 200 men have signe 1 the membership roll, and are determined to as-sert their rights and demand a fair day's wage for a fair day's labor. The steamfitters of Philadelphia struck on the 2nd inst., for a nine-hou- r work day and a uniform schedule of wages. A demand is made for $3 a day for 6teamQtters and $2 a day for helpers. Every firm refused to sign the schedule and 200 men went out. Painters have 30 unions workiug 4S hours, 39 unions working 53 hours, 97 unions work-ing 54 hours, and only 18 uiftons, out of a total of 2ot, working 60 hours a week. This year 78 strikes were ordered, 59 were suc-cessful, 11 compromised and S unsuccessful. A bill was introduced in the legislature of Ohio, a few days before adjournment, to make railway companies liable for damages sustained by any person, including railway employes, in consequence of any negligence on the part of railways or their agents. A similar bill was killed by the Democrats in the last Utah legislature. Australia believes in protecting the work-ing man against the rapacity of the rich. A banker at Melbourne, Australia, was recent-ly fined $25,000 and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for swindling working people out of their earnings by land dealing. An-'oth- er got a dose of $2500 and four years. In this country that class of swindlers usually break into congress. , The next big move in the labor unions of Cincinnati will be the enforcement of the use of the working card by all employed on buildings in any capacity in its erection. The matter was referred to all unions for a vote, and returns show all favor the move. The order will be promulgated shortly and a man with a card will positively refuse to work with any one not supplied with a like working card. The latest report concerning working women is very interesting and instructive. In the twenty-tw- o largest cities in the coun-try 17,472 women, who earn their living by work, were interviewed by government agents. They make on an average $5.51 per week, and they represent 342 vocations. Their average age is 22 years 7 months, and their average engagement in work, four years and nine mouths. The recent strike of telegraph operators In Spain developed a novel method of conduct-ing the fight against the powers that be. All of the operators remained at work as usual and received all messages offered by the pub-lic for transmission. But there would be no response from the operator at the other end of the line, and of course the message could not be sent. As the company would be un-able to tell who tbe refusing operator was, they could not get back at him. The oper. ators finally won their point. Church and Labor. Rev. Dr. Hanlon of Omaha in a recent ser-mon said: "The laboring classes are drifting away from the church. Our church is made up of women to a large extent. The men are drifting away from it. We must take a stand on this great question affecting capi- tal and labor. Ihe church has been too much inclined to lean toward the interests of capi- tal." Not only is this so, but ministers are too apt to preach over the heads of their hearers. They do not concern themselves enough about those questions and difficul-ties with which the workingman is troubled nowadays. E Pluribns Unum. During nearly every strike of labor we hear a good deal about tho wrongfulness of thousands of men quitting work who are not directly interested in the troubles which cause the strike. We are told for one in-stance that the wages of only 325 men at Homestead were in question, yet that 8000 men struck aud the foolishness of such a course is pointed out by wise editorial writers. At the time of the switchmen's strike at Buffalo all sort of silly argu- ments were used to show why the firemen, trainmen and conductor should not also come out Of course the first thing to settle is whether the strike is right in the first place whether an injustice has been committed by tl e tuisbvyer and other m. ans of setting tbe difucuil.tr have been unkvaillog. Admit, tiu tuit the. Kirke is it wnt'd seem as if it were tua duty . f iii organized labor to upport the tloiuauda of :t,eTr sulk-ing brothers. The foundation of unionism ' -- t "an jury to oue is the concern of all." If a man thought bo would be left to fight for his rights unaided, would he join a union, pay dues and concern himself with its affairs? He would not. He became a member with the understanding that V'60 $n tbe jHelb of Sports-- have been entered.

Amid such an exhiblf of resource and industry, there is no jncli. nation to dream; new ideas and ambitiont quicken our d?ire to do still better things, and thus we build not only for the present, but for the greatness of future generations. Salt Lake City. October 7. SPRIGS OF THOUGHT. BT H. HOLLA TIBBIT. Between thinking and dreaming is the routine of life. "With tho rising morn-ing sun the cares and 'desires of the day arouse the brain to thought, and action is born, bringing weal or woe. What fierce yet bloodless battles the setting sun might reveal! What infamous triumphs and cruel defeats! The sun goes down on a cold, un-feeling world, leaving a great void that falls like a frost on the fevered brain; but such is the richness of life that the heart is awakened, silencing all questioning for the practical verities ot existence. Theshadows of twilight creep higher and higher until the last ray of the sun is banished and the cares of the day are lulled to rest by the 'peace of nature that asserts lf when the hour of meditation has come, that the heart might gather new courage to endure its daily rebuffs and disappointments. Who has not experienced the mingled sen-sations uf sadness and reverence in walking up a street in the deepening dusk, catching glimpses of poople m their abodes b fore the curtains were drawn, before night drops down its deepest shadow to envelop man in the folds of his. own being, away from the bustling activities of his bread and butter necessities; just before a light is lit, when the band rests idly and the head is bowed ia re very? .Who has not passed som '. lonely little window and seen through it aim panes, by a pale flickering light, the blackened face of a poor cobbler, gaz.ng absently past his work, beholding something that was not written on his walls, with his work fallen from his knee and the energy gone from his clumsy hand? And we wonder what swoct or bitter tuoughu are stirring his soul in a quickened flight. Is he following with playful fancy the foot-prints left of those battered and worn shoes standing in a row on the rickety bench or is ha figuring with a financier's cleverness how best he might disburse the trifling in-come of his obscure fhon? It mav be that his mind is alive with the thought of some great invention, and dreams of future greatness have transformed the low ceiling over his head into a lofty dome, where God and the world smiles on him as a benefactor, who now has no name, no fame, only a great love for mankind ia hie shrunken breast, who cannot even fashion new shoes, but is condemned to patch thai which is ready for the rubbish heap, Perhaps he is following with wistful imagi-nation the shrill whistle of a departing tram, hearing it puff and snort on iis course ovei broad stretches of land and mountain, shrieking fiercely as it enters some slecj laden village; rushing, rolling madlj through the darkness of night, until day light, when from the morning mist there arises a beautiful city by the sea, and he hears the break of the surf and the se gull'i call. Ah. yes! there is joy, there is freedom there is all he has not. Or he may be brewing demons of hate, of envy and revenue; whi knows what sluice of evil he is opening foi himself and fellow-men- ? Who can decipher the enigma of a soul dreamer, for we too are dreaming the dreams which have no substance, but are only the affirmation of what might have been had not cunning chance played a listless hand. Still it is better to think lhau to dream. Thinking has made our modern welfare, and civilization is its product, the rights of man its law, and religious liberty its expression of charity. Man has been raised through it to the dignity of an individual and he as-sumes his own moral responsibilities or shirks them to his own loss. His voice and opinion help shape a better world, where all mankind find an equal welcome. The dream-er's dream is a bubble in an artificial sunlight, reflecting only a igloi ifled self. The think-er's energy is the inexhaustible fountain in the development of man. The Utah fair is a wonderful display of ac-tive thought; what it reared, cultivated and fashioned in the lapse of a few years on bar-ren waste land; what industries it has pro-mol-and what resources it has developed! It speass of thrift that is astounding and a scope of ambition that ia full of rich prom-ise. Ambition and pride give dignity to any calling, however huniDie; and so, the farmer who raises the best potato succeeds in claiming respectful attention to his ef-fort, and is rewarded by the knowl-edge that he contributes a share of usef ul-ness to the common welfare of the world. It is good to have ambition in all tbings; in the art of making wholesome bread, rais-ing line cabbage, churning sweet butter. These make a home inviting, and a good home is the foundation of a strong common-wealth. Great things result from small things, therefore nothing is so unimportant that it does not require the stimulus of pride. The most interesting display at the fair this year is the school exhibit. It is.by far. the best and most complete, showing that the educational system of Utah is making great improvements, and indicating that both public and private schools are receiv-ing the benefit of careful instruction. It is to be deplored that the "fine arts" and "women's work" are not better represented. '1 here is much in both these departments that is unworthy of exhibit and should not THE CITY ADMINISTRATION. Doings of the Municipal Department tbe Past Wek. Twenty-fiv- e prisoners arc now confined la the city jail. City hall attaches are congratulatingthem-selve- s on the fact that a new city jail is to be erected. During the present week seventy cases were disposed of. Farmers are still utilizing irrigating water, and even for this season ot the year there is an ample supply of water for them. At the present time thirty-tw- o mea are employed in the department. License Collector Reese anticipates a lively collection season from this time on. Many merchants, lodging-hous- e keepers, etc., are in arrears and to all such the order will be "Step up and see the captain or take the consequences I" The street department is still hard at work transforming Sixth South street into a boulevard aud in grading Center street, be-sides attending to the usual large grist of routine work, such as graveling streets, fill-ing depressions and repairing crosswalks. The city council will tonight resume con-sideration of the ordinances. The solous have two weeks' steady work before them. . Deputy Dog-ta- x Collector Galleazi during the week impounded 52 canines and slaught-ered 32. The others were redeemed. The irrigation department during the week just past constructed twenty-fou- r Humes and nine foot bridges, and cleaned twenty-fou- r miles of ditches.-A- t present thirty --three men and three teams are employed. The waterworks department is extending water mains on Eighth West street, between Seventh and Tenth South, and pushing the work of excavating the great Highland res-ervoir. Superintendent Ryan now has US men at work, and unless all signs fail an additional number will be employed in the near fu-ture. , Parley and City creeks are being put in thorough condition to cope with the ex-pected freshets of winter. "Watermains are arriving from Colorado at the rate of three carloads a day now and as a result the long delayed waterniain exten-sions will be completed as fast as it is possi-ble for men to work. .Plumbing Inspector Lapsley has issued during the week nineteen plumbing permits and three sewer permits, condemned two pieces of defective plumbing and inspected thirty-si- x jobs. One hundred and eighty men are now em-ployed by the street department. Seven cases of diphtheria (three being in one house) and two cases of scarlet fever were reported to the health department this week. Four of the diphtheria cases are in the Twenty-firs- t ward aad one in the Eighteenth, whi.e the Second ward is re-sponsible for the scarlet fever cases. Clerk Brown of the health department is-sued fifteen burial permits this week. For a city of over 60,030 population the record is gratifying. The physicians of the city pay but little attention to the regulations of the health department and inconsequence Clerk Brown experiences great d.friculty in keeping the records straight. All reports should be mad ; at the health office, and not to Dr. Beattie, and on blanks which are furnished by the department and which if properly used simplifies tbe arduous duties of the recorder of the department. Sanitary Inspector Showell disposed of nearly 700 loads of garbage this week. The work of constructing the sewer on East First South street is now under way, aud the other districts will be attended to ia due time. One fire is the record of the fire depart- ment this week. Loss, $300. Building Inspector Hamlin issued sixteen building permits this week which call for an expenditure of $17,920. The claim is made that Mayor Baskin has exceeded his authority in withholding his approval of the liquor bonds of certain saloonkeepers, and that he has no other re-course but to approve when the council grants the licenses. There was a balance of $191,90470 in the city treasury on the 1st inst. Treasurer Duke today disbursed $5076.45 as follow: Street department, $3055. So; water, $1715.S5; health, $304.75. Seventy deaths were recorded in thit city during the month of September. There were ninety-thre- e births in this city during the month just past, while the mar-riages aggregated fifty-seve- n. RAILWAY RUMBLES. More Anent the Union Pacific's With-drawal FROM THE TRANS-MISSOUR- I. It May Force the Withdrawal of Other Roads and Result in the Dis-solution of the Association How Its Action Is Regarded Head-light Flashes front Far and Xenr Sources. Some time ago, says the Kansas City Star, the Northern Pacific gave notice that it would withdraw from the JTransmis-sour- i association on January 1. The Union Pacific has now come to the front and given the association another blow by giving a thirty-day- s' notice of withdrawal. Both roads are members of the passenger department only. The with-drawal of the Union Pacific is due to the trouble over Montana business and was pre-cipitated by the recent decision of the "High Five" against that road. These withdrawals leave thirteen members of the passenger department, aud they hurt the association in other ways besides reduc-ing the number of members to tho unlucky thirteen. Of course the other roads of the association are not much interested in the Montana business that caused the trouble, and the Union Pacific may be disposed to oe peaceful enough after its bluff, but it may not, and the effect of the action cannot but be felt. It may force the withdrawal of the Rio Grande Western, the Missouri Pacific and the Santa Fe and cause the death of the association. It forces the necessity of a new deal all round more prominently upon the mind of all railroad men. , The Union Pacific's withdrawal is re-garded by some to mean that Jay Gould has decided to withdraw all the roads he con-trols from all associations aud not permit them to join any new ones until his favorite plan of having a common clearing house for the distribution of business among compet-ing lines is adopted. Cannot Serve Two Masters. Union Pacific employes cannot be candi-dates for public office. C. L. Ilinkle, a telegraph operator, aud L. H. Wood-mans- e, a conductor, both of Cheyenne, found that out on the 5th inst., when they were notified, by the company that they must resign their positions or abandon their efforts to be elected to the legislature on the Kepublican ticket, it being contrary to the rules to allow its employes to be candidates for political offices.

Duriuj same time 1U,0"J carioaus of wheat were shipped? ' What a heavy responsibility the railroads have to assume if this be true: Dallas, Tex., didn't have any mosquitoes until the rail-road was built through. The gross earnings of tbe, entire system of the Chicago, Rock Island fe Pacific railway for the month of September are estimated at $1,070,799, an increase as compared with those of the corresponding month last year of $123,309. The Wabash earnings for the last week in eseptemoer amounted to 4oo,uu, snowing a handsome increase of $37,100 over the cor-responding week last year. The earnings for the month amounted to $1,406,000, showing an increase of $50,000 over Sep-tember, 1691. - The report from Xew York that Jay Gould had purchased stock in the elevated roads of Chicago is denied by the officers of the lines. The stock transfer books were posted up to yesterday, but Mr. Gould's name does not appear on tbe list. tho past three months and a break was bound to come sooner or later. Daly has said a great many things which annoyed his employer. One statement made by Daly to aparty of Sports in New Orleans was rather funny. He told them that Co.-be-tt had given him a check for $10,000 as a token of his esteem. When Corbett reached town today, he was asked w hy he persisted in punching Daly when they were giving exhibitions. This was the reason given for the Philadelphian quitting the combination. "I'll tell you," Corbett said: 'Daly was never hit very hard, and it was not because of my puuehing powers that he got out. i Daly is going into the business of book-makin- g in Buffalo. He has been anxiou to invest his money in something ever since the tight. I hope he will be successful." " Manager Prady telegraphed Prof. John Donaldson to go to New York at once. He will arrive "there tomorrow. Donaldson sparred through the country with Corbett before his fight with Jackson, aud was in the Californian's corner on that occasion, as he was at New Orleans.

Prizes of sufficient value to bring out the best talent will be of-fered. It is expected that a meeting of the promoters of tho scheme will be held next week. "ew Prize Ring Rules. The Cincinnati EmpMrer says: There is a wide difference of opinion among sporting men as to tho interpretation of the rules which are generally supposed to govern !ontests in the modern prize ring. In some clubs wrestling, clinching and the roughest kind of fighting arc allowed, and the contests approach the old-tim- e prize lights very closely. Professor John Duffy is iu favor of barring such practices as 'Shouldering, " elbowing and clinching, which are so common nowadays. 4003 Total admission $16,0S3 50 SULLIVAN AND COKCETT. boiJ?.S5 5.5" 00 b :il reserved seats Cd. $M 2o,tW0 IK) ICiSd general admission (, 1j 21',7'JO 00 lij Mibrribeis' tickets frf, W.M 168 00 Sc3 uie m bers1 tickets ((( $5.. 4,165 00 fcW4 complimentary tickets iVri Total admission $ 60,318 00 Grand total $101,507 80 Amount of expenses as per statement on file , .$10,407 88 Ain't puree 10.0J0 (K) Ain't purte Jbxon-Skell- T.50J 00 Am't purse Sullivan-Corbet- t. 26,000 1)0 Total expenses S.&K-- S3 Amount net prolit S1-.6- 49 92 'tw Joseph L.

Prof. Dully was referee of the Sullivan-Corbe- tt fight, and has officiated in a like ca-pacity at nearly every important glove con-test which has taken place in or near the Crescent City during the past two years, lie is competent therefore to give an expert opinion as to the many alterations which the present rules need. A set of rules has been drawn up by Trof. Duffy. L pon these lines he has invariably acted. Although the Olympic club never had rules, save a revised set of those origin-ally given to the world by the Marquis of tjueensberry, the contestant in all the lights held in the arena of that organization have always been instructed as to what the club considered fair lighting. Prof. Duffy has put his ideas on the subject Into shape, and suggests that the following be called tho "AMERICAN GLOVE CONTEST KULE3."

The sport opened with the postponed heat of the haif-wh- u dash, which w as taken handily by Flora E., the winner of the first heat, and thus gave her the race.

Tho Butte Athletic club has decided to offer $750 for a rock drilling contest. Arrangements will be made to offer a $10,000 purse for a fight between Goddard. First Tho contest is to be a fair, stand i up boxing contest, in a twenty-fou- r foot ring, or as nearly that size as possible; the ropes and stakes in the ring to be padded. Spcond The rounds to be of three min-utes' duration, with one minute's rest be-tween. Third No hugging, clinching, wrestling, "shouldering," "elbowing," "heeling," "back-heeling,- " shall be allowed. Should any contestant violate any of these rules it shall be the duty of the referee to caution him, and for second offense such contestant shall be liable to disqualification. Persist- - t ent "hugging," "shouldering" or "elbow- - ' ing" shall be deemed foul fighting, just as 'heeling" or "back-heeling- " is. Fourth It shall be deemed a foul if one contestant strikes another beiow the belt or while tbe latter is down. A man is to be Choyuski, Fitzsimuions, Hall or some of the other top notchers. Zimmerman regards training as very laborious work aud does not recommend it to those who ride for pleasure. He rode over 1200 miles before he won a race this season. The champion favors the hard rub-bing afler each race and says there is no .drink so refreshing as slightly sweetened cool tea with a little lemon juice in it. Except in color, Johnny Griflln is said to be almost a counterpart of George Dixon. The crack King Lee is being made the subject of a lawsuit between James E. Maddox, brother-in-la- of the Scoggan Brothers, and Xick Finzer, who ad-vanced $10,000 for the purchase of the colt, agreeing to take his money out of the win-nings of the horse. If England is to maintain her reputation as the crack racing country in the cycling world, we must hustle a bit. With such men as Zimmerman. Kademaker, Protin, Berlo, Taylor and others beating our best times, it behooves us to be on the lookout. Cycling. The new cash prize racing league scheme looks verry pretty on paper, but it is a long way from perfection and it is not likely that the cash prize system wiil come in that way. No. monopoly of the business similar to the baseball leagues can ever be maintained. At Springfield Zimmerman won, besides the $1000 team and carriage, a $'i5 'diamond, $50 suit of clothes, piano lamp and a dia-mond stud. Tyler captured a $200 diamond and a clock. Windle gathered in a $100 dia-mond, a $75 diamond and a Keating safety. Taylor's prizes were a diamond ring and a $40 diamond. Nelson of Springfield also secured a big share of the plunder. O. P. Caylor, in the New York Herald, says that "J. Waller Spalding, by his suggestion to build bicycle tracks on all the league ball grounds, has struck baseball the hardest blow it has received 6ince the Players league disbanded. His plan, besides being impracticable, is looked upon by tho base-ball public as a confession from one of the mainstays of th league that the game is i financially dead. He has certainly thereby sent abroad the impression that baseball in itself is at last and must have the help of some outside athletic attrac-tion to make the business at the various baseball grounds pay expenses." When Nancy HanKs trotted in 2:04 at Terre Haute last Wednesday, she did tbe first quarter in 31. a 2:04 clip, the second quarter in 3IJ4 (2:07), the third quarter in 29 ,l,2', at the rate of a mile in 1:58, and finished in 31?i. When Mascot paced in 2:04 over the same track the next day, his quarters were us follows: 32,l4', 31', 29, 31, the third quarter being at the rate of a mile in 1 :57. the floor or Is lying on the ropes with his feet off the floor. It shall be optional with the referee to dlsqnalify a boxer for a first or second violation of this rule. Fifth When a man is down his opponent shall not to stand over him, but must step back at least six feet, the referee to measure the distance. Ten seconds shall be allowed a fallen boxer to regain his feet, and it shall be the duty of the referee to count off the aforesaid ten seconds aloud. Should said boxer fail to arise at the expira-tion of ten seconds, his opponent shall be declared tbe wimer. Sixth No tampering with the gloves shall be permitted, ard the referee shall examine them on the hands of the contestants before the contest begins, to satisfy himself that the padding has not been pushed back from the knuckles. Should the glove burst or come off. it shall be replaced to the referee's satisfaction. A contestant shall not be al- - lowed to wear shoes with spikes. Seventh The seconds or handlers shall do j no coaching while the contcstis in progress, nor shall they be permitted to throw water on their principal or apply any restorative until the round is ended. Nor the seconds be allowed in the ring excepting during the minute's rest between the rounds. Eighth A contestant shall not be allowed to fall to avoid punishment. The referee shall caution him for a first offense against this rule and may disqualify such con-testant for a second offense. Ninth The pivot blow shall be deemed a foul. "These rule may be improved upon." said Professor Duffy tonight, "but 1 think they embody a great many of the points which SllOli.l HAVECAt SED COM-VEX-Hugging, shouldering and elbowing is be-coming so common now that something really should be done. It is not fighting by long bhot, and 1 do not believe that sport-ing men care to see these tricks played. "If it comes down to a question ot which of two men can do the greater damage with his elbow or his shoulder, why not let them take luailets into the ring and be done with it? Glove fighting is becoming more and more popular as a sport every year, and one of the reisous for this, I think, is the fact that the brutality which characterized the old prize ring affairs is not seen nowadays. "It is a manly sport, but foul fighting will do it lots of harm if it is countenanced? : Science is cutting a greater figure in the , game now than before the force and age of roughing and back-heelin- g is past." "1 do not wish to criticise a referee," said i the Crescent City man, "but I know that the fact that Al iStnith permitted Griflin to stand over Lynch when the latter was down caused no little dissatisfaction. I believe that a man should be given a fair chance to rise after he is knocked down. Take, for in- - fttunre. Osmond, the English crack, who was frightened from the track by Zimmerman's appearance on British soil, recently had a try at Ede's 50-mi- record. He found on his forty-secon- d mile that he could not do the trick and abandoned the effort. His rido was not in vain, however, as he established new records from 26 to 41 miles. His time for the latter distance was 1 :50:21 2-- 5, nearly 15 minutes better than Ede's time. Speaking of tin; best surface for race tracks, Scheltema-Bedui- n favors cement and says: "I "have raced and fallen on cement tracks at Amsterdam, Arnhem and elsewhere for years, and I would rather fall on cement than on either gravel or cinders; and as to the pace obtainable, there is no question. Sturm, an ordinary rider, used to do 2m. 20s., for a mile at Armheni. A singular accident happened to the brown stallion Dictator, now in France. The horse had just been trotting at Capelle on Sunday and was returning to Dieppe to take part in a race, when, between Freenay and Atiigny, about 8 p. el, with the train going 37 miles an tiour, the side door of the car opened and the horse jumped out. The train stopped at Aisigny aud an engine was sent back to look for the horse, who was found quietly munc-in- g away in a wheat field about twelve feet below the embankment over which he had fallen. Wonderful to relate, he bad suffered but littlo from bis fall, tbe only damage done was a few scratches and a split in bis right nostril. "I awful sorry," said Jim Corbett a few days ago, "that I have been misquoted re-garding my alleged parting with Jim Daly. We did not have any argument or dispute. Daly simply left me to better himself. Daly ha got a little money and believes he could do better than sparring with me. He in-vested it in a pool room in Buffalo. He in-tends to make his home there and leave the fighting business altogether. This is all that has occurred between Daly and myself." a - - ' THE TIGHT. 'Hall proved himself to be a better man than Pritchard by long odds, yet he came within an ace of being counted out simply because Pritchard would not give him a chance to rise. Hall was knocked down, but the blow did him little harm. That is shown by the fact that he punched Pritchard as he liked upon regaining his feet. There w ould have been a high old time if the man at the w atch had called off one more second. This is likely to happen any time when one man is permitted to stand over an opponent who is down. "Another thing that should be stopped is the practice of throwing water at a man in tbe ring and coaching h'm. It does the fighter little good anyway, and cool-heade- d seconds never do it. As for the pivot-blow- ," lie continued," that Is no blow at all. Why, It would be lust as fair to permit a boxer to take a club in the ring and use it. The blow almost invariably catches the man at whom it is directed with the armor elbow. The I back of the glove seldom lands. That is how LaBlanche whipped Dempsey, by landing on his jaw with lils elbow. He might just as well have used a heavy It would ' have been just as fair for Dempsey." j Daly's Mead is Swelled. ' Billy Delaney, Jim Corbett'i trainer, says that Jim Daly brought on a good punishing I by his own actions. "Daly'a friends have : tieen telling him playfully that he could lick Corbett," said the trainer tonight, "and t really began to look as though Daly thought himself that he could stop Jim. He ' va aware of the fact that Corbett' s right band wis sore, and tried his best to take ad-vantage of the champion. He caught Jim a clip on tbe jaw which broke off one of his teeth. Then Jim sailed in and gave Daiy ihe trouncing he richly deserved, and then Daly very sensibly left the show." The announcement that Jim Daly had thrown up his job as sparring partner to J im Corbett was not a surprise to local sporting tien.

BARTCH, fiatod August 30tb, 1W Probate Judge. A MOUNTAIN OF COAL. The Chalk Creek Company Is Rewarded for Its Persistent Labor. One week ago yesterday the diamond drill of the Chalk Creek Coal company struck a twelve-foo- t vein of coal, which is believed to be a part of a great mountain of bituminous coal. The strike was made near the old Allen beds, about half a mile from the burg of Coalville. The shaft is down 300 feet and the company will begin putting in levels and rooms and make all necessary preparations to produce coal in sufficient quanity to supply any demand that may be made on them. Just now the company is taking out between forty and fifty tons of coal a day, but tho demand for coal is sufficient around Coalville to exhaust the present supply. A boiler is being put in place in the company's shaft house and an order has been placed with a supply company for cage and chains. II. P. Mason, one of the gentlemen inter-ested in the. Chalk Creek Coal company, ex-pressed unlimited confidence in the discov-- 1 cry of coal at the company's property. "We expect," said be, "in a short time, say three or four months, to be able to produce from 200 to 300 tons of coal a day. We have been workiug three shifts at the mines, but after we get actively started on the levels and get our rooms ready w e shall run as large a force of men as possible. The coal we have dis-covered is one-hal- f anthracite and it is highly impregnated with gas and tar. It is also be-lieved to be a good coke coal. We are ex-perimenting with it on that point now. "We became convinced," continued Mr. Mason, "a long time ago that there was a great Bed of coal at the point, where we have made this discovery. L ntil ten years ago the Allen beds, which lie to the south of us and are separated by a dyke, produced coal in paying quantities and of good qual-ity. Theae beds were struck in the early days seventy-fiv- e feet under the surface. They were worked for a long time, but in following the dip the miners encountered the porphyry dyke which separates our mine from the Allen beds. This dyke was called a fault then. One day there was a cave-i- n on the Allen beds, and a man and mule lost their lives. The mines began to play out 1 1 - . .. J : : "An eminent geologist wandered across that country a few years ago, and Bishop Cluff got him to describo the land wherein occurs this dyke. The geologist did so, and proved remarkably correct in his conject-ures. Later we received the impression that this dyke had been formed after the vein had cuts its way through the ore body, instead of impeding its progress. Acting upon this theory, we sunk a shaft immediately to the north of this dyke, which is 100 feet wide by the way. At a depth of 156 feet we en-countered an ore body. We closed work at this point aud went further north and sunk a shaft 300 feet and tapped the same vein, showing it to have a dip of 26 degrees to the north. There is a mountain of ore there. It has very little slack to it, and is the best coal ore I have seen in tho territory." The mine is half a mile from the railroad, and the coal can be handled rapidly and cheaply. The company has expended $10,000 o far, and are highly gratified with the re-sults. - - - Improved Alarm Clock.
