BLOW MAY BE FATAL. Barry Knocks Young Groots Out In the Twentieth_ Round. London, Dec. ’L—Sporting London last night saw a fight that it will not 5 soon forget. Thecontestants were Jim- my Barry, of Chicago, and the Eng- lish fighter Young Croots. They met in the National Sporting Club. Barry baited his man for eighteen rounds. in the nineteentha‘ound he~sailed in and hammered his man all around the ring. In the twentieth round Barry knocked Croots out, and now 010015 is lying in 1 private room in the clubhouse suffer- as; from consussion of the brain, and Ban'y and his friends are wondering whether the young Englishman will die. The battle was for the bantam-Vveight :l1a1npionship of the world. It was post- 1011911 1'0111 Nov. 15 because of the sud- ien 11011111 of Mr. John Fleming, man- 13.101 of the National Sporting Club. l‘hc clubhouse was crowded. Barry, who was the favorite in the betting sealed at 107 pounds, and C1oot at 104. in the 1‘. ist ten rounds Barry did most if the swung in a thoroughly scientific 1t1‘ugglc. Then Croots made a. deter- mined stand, and in the eighteenth 'ound appeared to have equalized mat- :crs When the nineteenth round opened Barry immediately forced the work at a. grea pace, and finished much stronger 11am his opponent. In the twentieth round Barry put in son‘a excellent drives, and with a. 21".. shing right- -hand’er on Croot’s jaw knocked him out, when only forty see- ur. ls remained to the stipulated limit. 8: rry had sufficient in hand to have se- ?1red a. verdict had the contest gone me full t-w enty rounds. The decisive manner in which he finished his rivar stamped him as a dangerous puncher and also shOWed that 'he must have and something up his sleeve through— out the contest. ,_.___._.__—————-——- z PENSION 0LA1___1_1_REJECTED. W‘idow Onned a House and Farm and Haul an Income. ”Washington, Dec. 7—Assistant Secre- tary of the Interim Webster Davis, in an opinion just rendered, enunciated the policy of this Administ1ation upon claims for pensions made by widows who already have property interests and settled incomes. It was in the case of Louise Wiemerslage, widow of Ber“ oard Wiemerslage, late of Company D Fifty- -eighth Illinois Infantry. It was shown by the testimony of this appel- lant herself, corroborated by that of other witnesses, that she is the abso- lute owner of fifty-one acres of valua- ble real estate, situated about twelve miles from the city of Chicago, worth at her own valuation $150 per acre, from which she derives a net income of ovei two thousand dollars It also appears that she owns and lives in a omfortable dwelling house, situated on hei farm, which is worth nearly six thousand dollars over and above all debts and incumbrances, and has no family depending on her except one daughter, who is over 13 years of age and is fully able to contribute to her own support. - _ “It is clear,” said Mr. Davis, “that this appellant is not without other means of support than her daily labor within the meaning and intent of the provisions of section 3, act of June 27, 1890, as construed by the decisions of this-department, and is not entitled to pension thereunder as the widow of said deceased soldier. Therefore the claim is rejected.” POSTAL SAVINGS BANK BILL. ensure Introduced Providing for Small Deposits to Draw Interest.

WW- RUSSIAN PICKPOCKETS. A Little Incident to Prove Their Skill Over Others of Their Class. One day, while dining together, the French ambassador and a Grand- Duke of Russia were discussing the cleverness of the pickpockets of. their respective countries. The Grand—Duke claimed that the Russian pickpocket was the more skilful. Seeing the ambassador in- credulous, he told him he would, with— out knowing it, be relieved of his watch before leaving the table. He then telephoned to the head of the police to send at once'the cleverest pickpocket he could lay his hands on. The man came and was put into livery, and was told to wait at table with the other servants. He was to give the Grand-Duke a sign directly he had done the trick. \ But this was not given very soon, for the ambassador was very wary, and always kept on the alert, and held his hand on his fob, even when conversing with the most distinguished guests. At last the Grand-Duke received the preconcerted signal. He at once re- time. The latter triumphantly put his hand to his pocket, and pulled out a. potato instead of his watch. To conceal his feelings he would take a pinch of snuff—his snuff-box vias gone. Then he missed his ring from his finger, and his gold‘toot‘hpick which he had been holding in his hand in its little case. Amid the hilarity of the guests the sham lackey was requested to restore the articles; but the Grand—Duke’s merriment was changed into alarm and surprise when the thief produced two watches, two rings, two snuI—‘ooxes, etc. His Imperial Highness then made the discovery that he himself had been robbed at the same time that the French ambassador had been despoil- ed so craftily.—Harper’s Round Table. WHERE PULLMAN GOT HISSTART. Simeon Mayor Gave Him Credit for 1.1 .m- her to Build His S‘FPlh-l'fi. George M. Pullman received his first real start in life from a man known her trade. This man was once one of iixe largest lumber merchants in the L nited States. _ His name is Simeon Mayo. Early in the 603 Pullman was a book- keeper in Chicago, where Mayo was one of the solid men. . Mayo knew Pullman’s employer, and thus met the young man when he was struggling with his sleeping car idea then very crude, but Mayo neueved in it. Pullman perfected his scheme and wanted to build some cars, but he had not the money to pay for the lumber. Mayo gave him all the credit he want- ed, after Pullman had failed to get it elsewhere. Thus the man who has just :ied worth millions was able to devel- op the idea that made him rich and :arried his name all ovar the world. It is a cOincidence that Mayo em- ployed Lyman J. Gage when he was a tycung man just getting a start.— New York Journal. .. The Book“ Salesman. A customer dropped into a booksell~ er’s' the other day and asked for a. copy of “The Lady of the Aroostook.” The clerk seemed to be in some doubt about the title, but after a. moment’s consul- tation with another salesman he came forward and said, blandly: "So sorry . we hven’t got ‘The Lady or the Roos- ter," but we can give you ‘The Lady or the Tiger.’ ”——Bookman. Proof. The Senior Member—By George! Clarkson, you seem to think you’re the boss here! ’ Clarkson—Not at all, sir. The Senior Member—Well, why do you talk so blame stupid, then?— Trut'h.
