NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16.——A new star has
blazed forth in the pugilistic firmament
ses to remain un-
dimmed for many
a day, and all the
erstwhile middle
weight luminaries
have paled into
insignificant and
ineffectual satel-
lites. As the re-
sult of the fight
at the Olympic
[club here for the
middle weight
championship of
the world and a

BOB FITZSILIMONS. purse of $12,”,
Bob Fitzsimmons, the long New Zea-
lander, is the hero of the hour, and poor
Jack Dempsey, the “Nonpariel,” is lying
at his home with a broken nose, a broken
heart and a fearfully blackened pair of
eyes. '

The fight was one of the gamest and best
ever seen between men of similar weight,
and demonstrated " ‘
again Dempsey’s
pluck, nerve and
ability to stand
punishment. But
the, game "Non-
pariel" wasn’t in
it from the very
start, and lost
purely and sim-
ply on his merits
as a fighter. He
was clearly over-
matched, and his
clever opponent
whipped him without even turning a hair.

Before the fight both men weighed in,
Fitzsimmons tipping the beam at 150};
pounds and Dempsey scaling exactly 1473,”,
pounds. The following is the fight by
rounds:

JACK DEMI‘SEY.

The Fight by Rounds.

Round One—Fitzsimmons sprang at Dempsey,
and after an instant‘s sparring landed on the jaw
with his left. Jack looked savage, and let drive
at the tall one‘s jaw. Fitz ducked very cleverly,
and got away. . It was a hurricane fight from this
time until the cloSe, with the Australian cutting
out the work. Dempsey clinched continually to
save himself, and displayed all his old cleverness
in ducking. _

Round Two—Fitz again led off, and did most of
the fighting, Dempsey generally retreating and
avoiding him. Fitz managed to get in a blow on
Dempsey‘s nose, swelling it some. He followed
up by a blow on the neck, and Dempsey retreated
into his corner, where they sparred for a while.
Fitz got in a good blow on the neck, and they

clinched. When they separated Dempsey hit
Fitz on the ear. Fitz followed with one on Demp
sey‘s head.

Round Three—Fitz returned to the charge like
abull atared flag and hit Dempsey a terrible
punch in the ribs. He evaded a return cleverly.
Dempsey looked troubled, but he gave his oppo
nent a hard drive on the neck. There “as a
lightning rally immediately. Dempsey getting
home one on the neck, but he went down like a
log from a straight righthander on the jaw an in-
stant laterr Dempsey sprinted away, but Fitz
followed him, and there was furious fighting on
the rope, Fitz having the best of it, and deliver-
ing several hard body punches.

Some Lively Fighting.

Round Four—Some very lively fighting was
done in this round, and more blows passed than
in any of the others. Fitz again forced the fight
ing. He went at Dempsey with vim and got in
three good blows, two on the ribs. Dempsey an-
swered with one on the neck. Fit-z followed
Dempsey around the ring, striking four blows in
succession. Dempsey slipped. but caught himself
on the ropes, and recovering gave Fitz a heavy

’ blow on the chest.

.Round Five—Fitz gave a stomach blow and was
countered on the neck by the agile Dempsey.
Fitz got home a hard left hand drive on the chin
and evaded a return. Dempsey landed two good
drives on the ribs, but he received two hard right
handers over the heart, followed with a right and
left on the neck. Dempsey repeatedly clinched
and slipped to the ground to evade punishment.

Round Six—Fitz again forced the fighting, but
Dempsey avoided him. After a little skirmishing
Dempsey got in a light blow on Fitz’s chest. Fitz
replied with one on the ribs which staggered
Dempsey. Some close infighting followed, and a
number of little blows followed. Fitz got in an-
other blow on Dempsey’s ribs when the men
clinched. Fitz followed with a blow on the nose
and Dempsey got in one on Fitz‘s neck. Dempsey
again retreated to his corner, where Fitz got in
several blows on him, one in the chest which
staggered Dempsey. Dempsey got in a blow
on the neck and Fitz replied with one on the
shoulder.

The Gong Prevents a Knock Out.

Round Seven—Fitz at once rushed over to
Dempsey‘s corner and, as usual, opened hostili-
ties. Dempscy drovehis right into Fitz’s neck,
but the Australian 'came on in a furious way. He
got in an upper cut on Dempsey, drawing the
blood from mouth and nose. He floored the Non-
pariel, and before the round was half over he had

Dempsey hanging through the ropes and all but
out. He rose'in time to save himself, however,
and clung to his big opponent in the endeavor to
save himself. Dempsey was so weak that he
scarcely heeded the referee’s call to break, and
he'was bathed in his own blood when time was
called.

Round Eight—Fitz came into the ring fresh—
Dempsey‘s nose. and eyes swollen. Dempsey got
in several small blows on Fitz, who began forcing
the fighting, driving Dempsey against the ropes.
Dempsey recovered. however, but Fitz hit him a
violent blow on the chest. Dempsey replied, but
fell short. Fitz then went at it in earnest and
landed a dozen blows, one after the other, on face,
ribs, neck and chest. Dempsey seemed quite weak
and fell against the rope, but righted himself
again.

Round Nine—Fitz followed Dempsey all around
the square, repeatedly upper cutting him with
both hundsghis blows raining like hail. Demp-
ney fou‘ghtback valiantly. but had to clinch sev-
eral timesto save himself. There wasn‘t a mark
on Fitz save a scratch over the eye, his high guard
saving his face. It was a foregone conclusion
that Fitz would win.

Round Ten—Dempsey came up very slowly, and
Fitz seeming to have plenty of wind. It was a
Fitzsimmons round. It seemed certain that the
battle would end with this round. Fitz led ofl
with two good blows on the cheek. Dempsey re-
plied, but fell short. Fitz followed with blows on
the throat and head, but refrained from punish-
ing Dempsey as he could have done. Fitz gave
Dempsey several blows on the ribs, when Demp-
sey fell heavily. He arose weak, but was
knocked down twice. He rose so weak that he
could scarcely stand. At the next fall he could
not rise, and the ringing of the gong for time
alone prevented him from being knocked out.

face, but. his body showing ugly reé
blotches here and there, rushed over tr
where his rival sat gasping for breath,
and took the limp hands in his, leaning
over and whispering words of encourage-
ment. Fitzsimmons by his actions during
the entire fight. won the respect of every
man present and hundreds pressed for-
ward to wring his hand in congratula-
lations The time of the fight was forty
nine minutes.

Sullivan All Broke Up.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-—John L. Sullivan
could hardly believe the news of Demp-
sey’s defeat, and the effect of it rendered
him almost helpless. Looking the bearer
of the dirt ul neu’s square in the eye he
asked, half appealingly: “Say, are you
giving it to me straight? So the bloke
from the South Sea islands licked Jack
Dempsey, «Md he?" he moaned.

dreamed thai v. man or Fitzsimmons’ cal-
iber would gr. .: him any bother.”

“How do you account for it?”
‘ “How doIaccouut for it? You might
as well ask me to account for the spots on

Dempsey Wasn’t in it at any s: me. That
makes it all the harder, as he must have

think also that nobody knew it better than

all up with Dempsey now,” and the big
.fellow heaved a four horse powm' sigh.
"He’ll never recover this licking. The
poor fellow’s heart must be broken.”

SLAUGHTER ol= THE INNOCENTS.

 

Midy Morgan on the Beef Cattle Trade
of 1890.

A retrospective glance at the cattle
trade in our eastern seaboard markets
for the past summer shows an unusually
large and varying trade with the British
isles. Speculators and brokers hurried
forward in their anxiety to land cattle
and dressed beef in Great Britain. This
praiseworthy undertaking had, however,
two sides—one of profit, one of loss. So
unusual did the shipments become that
toward the close of August and during
the early days of September the losses
sustained entirely outbalanced the profit.
Then lool-zers on brewed a war of the
weaker against the wealthier, which
ended as such struggles always do.
Money judiciously spent gained the day,
and to avoid further loss some of the
smaller shippers united their interests,
and by reducing the volume of the ex-
ports prices returned to a. paying basis.

While this war was being waged a
new phase appeared in the home trade.
So fierce was the contention in the great
western centers of our cattle business to
secure beeves suited for the British mar-

kets that only refuse ~was left as the

show of those who still pretended to sell
live beeves to our local Wholesale butch-
ers. Then the mercantile sagacity of the
brokers who deal in western dressed
beef showed itself. These men soon se-
cured through their westem connections
enough of good beef to supply the press-

ing needs of a few of the fashionable re- -

tail butchers, and western dressed beef
sold from the city refrigerators at higher
prices than did city dressed beef. With
the falling off of the export trade this

condition ceased, and business returned ,

to its normal channel. -

During til: greater part of the year
1890 the quality of the local supplies of
beeves has been most unreasonably be-
low what it ought to be. The Texas
herds were so poor that consignments
frequently stood over unsold, and when
at length some buyer was found the
quotations were Withheld. Brokers feared
to discourage shippers. The native herds
of grass fed were also a poor article of
commerce. When all contingent expenses
had been met very little remained to
gladden tho speculator. A grass fed
steer 1,000 pounds weight sold at three
cents per pound, and often prices were
lower, which is not a source of joy and
satisfaction to breeders or yet to the
shipper.

The great evil of an indiscriminate
slaughter of calves is growing annually.
Not alone are the calves of the dairying
districts of New York state hurried to
indiscriminate death. but Maryland has
entered the field of early destruction.
Then large numbers of western calves
come forward week after week. So long
as only bull calves were slaughtered it
allowed of question, but when the move.-
ment of comely native heifers com-
menced then the‘ sanity of those con-
cerned became doubtful. With an im-
mense tract of country as yet devoted to
grazing, it seemsimpossible that it'is the
proper thing to slaughter native heifers
and retain Texas cows. This question
is most worthy of mature consideration
by both parties—the breeders of native
herds and the breeders of those wild
creatures of the plains. If there is an
overplus of calves, then slaughter as
veals the inferior class and retain the
better. Native heifers and well bred
bulls on the plains would pay better
than Spanish herds now do.

One patriotic breeder shipped for
slaughter two carloads of young full
blooded Hereford cows. The herd of
thirty-two individuals was a picture
worthy of Landseer. Yet’these cows
sold far below four cents per pound, and
stood for days ‘in the livestock pens
awaiting a/satisfied buyer. Is the coun-
try so well supplied with pedigree herds
that we can afford to slaughter valuable
breeding cows?—-American Agricultur-
ist. ~ ‘ '

How to Advertise.

The question of method in advertising
is one having infinite range. The mat?
ter is one of the very first importance,
and cannot be too carefully. studied. One
thing about it that may be set down as
true isthat every man’s advertising, in
its language and style, should be char-
acteristic—characteristic of the man.
characteristic of his stock, characteris-
tic of his commercial position. For
every man has his peculiarities of devel-
opment. When he speaks we know it is
be, though we may not be looking at
him, and his advertisement Should rep-
resent him like his voice. He should
put his experience, his industry, his en-
terprise. into his advertising. It is as-
tonishing to see how merchants who are
tireless in their industry—at the store
early and late, close buyers. eager seek-
ers after business. quick to embrace op-
portunities for enlargement of lines and

extension of trade—it is. surprising to see

how such business mm continue their
advertising in the 1a.:guage of the old
rut, and announce in the same words
and the same type that did duty for
them years ago that “3. Franklin (or
any other man, the name doesn’t matter)
is still to be found at the 01d stand, with
a choice stock of dry goods, notions.
etc., etc. “ (The two etc.’s are indispen-
sable in an “ad” of this kind.)

There is another and a better way to do:
If a merchant has any snap, any energy.
in himself, let him show it in his adver-
tising. If he has any bargains in his
store. let him say so. If he has connec-
tions which enable him to sell better
goods, or the same goods at lower prices,
than anybody else, let him say that; say
it plainly, strongly and in a way that
will carry conviction of truthfulness;
and on the same principle that leads him
to treat visitors to his store so that they
will call again, let him write his adver-
tisement so that his newt advertisement
will be looked for: if you get a person’s
attention once try to hold it. The whole
thing is summed up in this: One should
study advertising as he does every other
department of his business. Advertis-
ing is a science, simple. it is true, as to
its main elements, but requiring more
thought and system than many of our
business men have been accustomed to
give it.

Value of Changing Advertisements.

Picking up an old journal the other
day i found a statement to the effect
that a certain patent medicine firm had
not (at that time) changed the wording
of its advertisements for thirteen years.
While I am a thorough believer in judi-
cious advertising i doubt if such adver-
tising as that Would accomplish any
good after a few months of publication.
N o doubt ninety-nine readers out of a
hundred would throw aside the paper at

ight of the familiar heading with the
exclamation, “The same old story."
Though publishers may save consider-
ably in composition bills by permitting
advertisements to “stand" in their col-
umns for a. year or more, they must lose
considerable in the ill effect upon other
would be advertisers.

It is to the interest of publishers that
their patrons should find that ”it pays
to advertise." and those advertising col-
umns are most attentively perused
which are most frequently changed. A
publisher who allows an advertisement
to stand without change in his columns
for over three months is doing his own
business an absolute harm. Advertise-
ments are being looked upon as news.
and as such they should be fresh and in-
teresting. Invite your patrons to make
frequent changes in their announce-
ments. It will pay them, and this will
have a. reflex action upon your own re-
ceipts—National Publisher and Printer.

A New Profession.

The writing of advertisements is as-
suming the dignity of a profession.
Much of the style of writing is charm-
ingly seductive, and withal contains no
little information of a scholarly nature,
as many a reader has discovered after
perusing a half column with quickem'ng
interest to find in the end how he may
become a Hercules in strength or a
beauty by the use of certain elixirsl
There is more money in the writing of
advertisements than in legitimate liter-
ature. Agencies solicit the writing of
advertisements and glutrantee appropri-
ate illustrations, and the insertion of
same in whatever newspaper or periodi-
cal the advertiser may desire. Most of
the celebrated advertisers write their
own notices. “It is only needful to re-
peat a thing often enough,” says Goethe,
"and everybody will end by believing
it.”—L. R. McCabe in Chicago Herald.

What is so good an advertisement as ,

FOWL FAIRY STORIES.

From Typewriting and Invalidiam to
Chicken Raising and Health.

In its fowl reports of the fat stock
show in that city The Tribune, of Chi-
cago, tells the following fairy stories:

Another plucky girl was a typewriter
in New York until her health broke
down and her nerves. refused any longer
to bear the clatter of her machine. She
was not of the kind who despair, and so
promptly exchanged her “Remington”
for an incubator—there are usually peo-
ple who have incubators and want type-
writers instead ready waiting for the
people who, having typewriters, long
for incubators—hired a sandy patch of
a farm out on Long Island, and went to
work at all the different branches of the
“chicken business.” It is. far better, if
one can do so, to choose one of those
paths and keep to it, but she had little
capital and was obliged at first to earn
money in any way that offered itself.

She bought eggs which she knew were
fresh from less canny farmers in her
neighborhood, scoured them, stamped
them with the name of her farm and
sold them in New York at Christmas for
50 cents a dozen, and all the year for
She

75. She raised Pekin ducks. which are
profitable creatures. She raised pug
puppies, too, keeping them and her
brooders of chicklings and ducklings all
in the same big warm room, where the
latter were protected by wire “rims”
from being devoured by the former.

As time went on she gave her atten-
tion more especially to the ducks, send-
ing “green peas” ducklings to the inset-
tiable New York restaurants. They
were the drollest little things during
their short lives, coming into the world
on a broad grin, and keeping» it up
through infancy, as if laughing at the
thought of how queerly they once were
rolled up in their shells like so many
balls of tape. That farmer forgot her
nerves, and grew rosy and serene at her
work, which, though hard enough, she
found full of interest.

Incubators are almost essential to
chicken farmers nowadays. Even if one
is not going to do anything on a. grand
scale, it is a much simpler way to start
one’s machine at its winter work than
_to wait impatiently till willful “biddies”
decide to sit, and then to induce them
to take the nests one has made ready for
them, and then, too, too often to weep
over the precious eggs which they have
deserted. ,

Still, though better than hens, incuba-
tors aro “kittle cattle.” The number of
dreadful things that may happen to
them is amazing. The thermometers in
most of them are marked across the de-
gree at which the temperature must be
kept, and the damage that will be done
by a rise or fall depends on how far the
mercury wanders from that magical
mark. “Self regulators” only regulate
themselves when everything. is made
easy for them. Unless the machinery is
in perfect order the ventilators will not
act, and then the eggs are chilled or
baked, as the case may be. That is bad
enough if they have been lately put in,
but is more deeply depressing if they
have been “tested” -.—that is, looked
through, and have been found to contain
living embryos, various compounds of
spider and cuttlefish, waving hideous
arms as they dance about in the egg.

A business man in town who took de-
light in caring for the chickens on his
country place went to his train one
morning, leaving 500 eggs in an incuba-
tor in his cellar. It was the day they
were due to hatch, and most of the shells
were “starred." That technical term
means chipped in a star shape, and that
is a sign of a small beak having broken
through as the chick uncoils itself. All
day that business man had dreams of
hundreds of dear little puff balls which
he would see at night. But his cook took
a fancy to sweep the cellar that morn-
ing. Her apron string “caught on a. jig-

.ger,” she said. “and it slipped off another
jigger.” In short, the thermostatic bar
was disconnected from the ventilating
valves, the thermometer rose to unknown
heights, and the puffballs never ap-
poured.

A poultry farmer whom the writer
knows in the most intimate way had,
once upon a time, a clumsy old incuba-
tor. There was a. reel on it, which was
to be wound with a great deal of sewing
silk every alternate day. It is easy to
forget what is only to be done every
other day, and one morning that farmer
found the reel all unwound, its leaden
weight lying on the floor and the ther-
mometer not quite 200 degs. And the
cooked eggs in the machine were all
Houdan eggs, not only from pure bred
Houdans, but from the biggest crested,
the darkest, the most fashionable Hon
dens of all she had. »

GROWTHS BACK OF THE NOSE.

To Them Are Ascribed Many of the Ills

‘ and Complaints of Childhood.

In no other department of surgery has
more positive advanceth been made
than in treating the mouth and nose. De-
fects of speech, of breathing, of hearing,
as well as of smelling, that'- were formerly
considered incurable, now easily yield to
the skillful treatment of the rhinologist.
A very large proportion of cures of chronic
catarrh, so called, are found in the exami-
nation of the part of the throat and the
posmares to be nothing more than the
necessary results of obstructive growths
of the mucous membranc, these growths
sometimes completely plugging the nasal
passages and Eustachian tube of one side,
and thus setting up a constant irritation
in both the nasal and aural membranes.

Many children whose whcezy breathing,
running noses, frequent coughing and car—
acbes are regarded by their parents as
merely going through experiences neces-
sarily incident to childhood, and which
will be ”outgrown” in time, are suffering
from disease of the nose that might be
cured by a little surgery in a few weeks
and a lifetime of inconvenience, if not mis-
ery, be averted.

In children it is by no means uncommon
to find soft tumors, adenoid growths, poly-
pi or vcgctations‘ in the front nasal space
that are the cause of many inflrmities,
mentally as well as physically. Dr. Dela-
van, in an excellent synopsis of rhinologic-
al surgery, describes the effects of abnor-
mal growths in striking terms, pointing,

 

for instance, to easily recognized anomalies 1

like these: want of symmetry in the form .

of the face, pinched nostrils, open mouth,
projecting teeth, arched palate, stupid ex-
pression, anaemic surface, drooping cyc-
lids, stenosis or narrowing of one or both
nostrils with constant catarrh and defect
ive speaking, discharge from the ears, loss

of hearing, mental dulncss, deformity of .

the chest, and so forth.

If adenoid vegetations in the post nasal ,

space are a prime cause of such evils in
children, it is full time that physicians
generally gave close attention to them,
treating them early in their development
and not waiting until so far advanced that
their removal must involve serious conse-
quences. The idea. of outgrowing these
sequels of a malady that if let alone will
persist in its development is monstrously
absurd, and should stamp the physician
who entertains it with fossilism. We won-
der how many children and young people

have lost their hearing, for instance, by

such ignorant counsel.
As to the. removal of these troublesome
growths, it can be said that the procedure

is simple, and may be undertaken by any ’

physician who has some capability in the
use of his index finger or a curette.
most children the growth is soft and
easily detached by the finger nail, and re-
