WELL-FOUGHT BATTLE The Hoosler Showed Himself by Far he Cleverer Man-The Fight "by Bounds. . NEW YORK, Jan. 1 Kifl McCoy again placed himself In the championship class by defeating Peter Maher in a brisk, well fought battle of five rounds before the Coney Island Athletic Club, this after noon. The fight was scheduled to last 25 rounds, and the purse was to have been $20,000, but the attendance was not as large as had been expected, and before the fight was begun the principals agreed that the winner should receive the gross gate receipts. The batHe was hard fought from start to finish, but McCoy was far the cleverer man in ring tactics, doJclnr. side-stepping and hitting powers. He showed himself to be a good ring general, ever watching for an opening and never failing to take advantage of one. Maher, although cred ited with being a heavy hitter, did not get in any effective blows. His foot work was poor, and at times he did not appear to have perfect control of himself. When the men entered the ring and stripped for the battle, both looked to be in perfect condition, and they were greet ed with tumultuous applause. Under Marquis of Queensberry rules, new gloves, provided by the club, were banded to the referee, and he In turn gave them to the boxers' seconds. Maher donned bis quick ly, but McCoy claimed the gloves did not fit him, and stubbornly refused to use them. He insisted on wearing an old pair which he claimed suited him, but the ref eree was obdurate, and McCoy gave in. The Flgrht by Rounds. McCoy was the aggressor In the start off, forcing Maher to break ground. The Kid feinted cleverly with his left, Maher sparring with an anxious look on his face. Then the Kid sent a left book to the jaw, flooring the Irishman, who was up in two seconds. The Kid tried a right cross, but missed. Maher tried a left swing for the head, but McCoy side-stepped neatly. He essayed another of these, and again went wide of the mark, and got a left in the face for his pains. In attempting to coun ter, Maher over-reached himself and fell, but regained his feet almost Immediately. Maher then began rushing tactics, forcing the Kid to the ropes, landing a hard right on the body. The Irishman had McCoy in a tight place at this early stage of the game, but the Kid broke away nimbly and put a hard left to Maher's stomach before the first had ended. McCoy tantalized the big fellow with his feinting in the next round, and induced Peter to make vicious swings with both hands. The Kid got into close quarters, much to the surprise of Maher's friends, and, while he received blows back of the shoulders, he put a right and a left hard to the body. On the break-away, McCoy landed a staggering left on the jaw. Then they mixed things up, Maher landing heavily on the body with both hands, and in the break-away he sent his left to the ribs. The Kid aide-stepped back after this. When they came together again, he meas ured the Irishman nicely, and with a right on the jaw sent Peter to his hands and knees, where the Irishman remained four seconds. When Maher got up, he seemed to lose his bead, and rushed at McCoy, sending his right to the bcifly, but re celved three left jabs In the face from the Kid. In a rush to the ropes the Kid slipped to the floor, but was up In a jiffy, ""Scinxmg-liis left to Maher's face, throwing the Irishman's head back. Then two lefts to the jaw and a right over from the Kid made the gong a welcome sound for Maher. By this time McCoy was more confident than ever. He feinted, but was rushed to the ropes, where he hooked his left to the jaw and escaped from Peter's return. Then he began playing his long left into Peter's stomach, and the Irishman began sparring at long range. With a well timed feint the Kid brought the big fel low to him ana sent him back with two left hooks on the jaw. Maher essayed a return and McCoy ducked as they came to a clinch, breaking from which the Kid sent a straight Tight to the face and another to the stomach. Maher then tried to mix It up, and forced the Kid to th"e ropes, but the latter got back to the cen- ter of the ring, where he landed a 4 straight left to the face just at the call of the bell. McCoy assumed the aggressive in the next (the fourth) round, but Peter sparred carefully. The Irishman soon began forc ing, and feinted the Kid Into a left which landed lightly on the wind. Then Maher forced McCoy into a neutral corner, plant ing a terrific left on the face, which jarred McCoy's head. McCoy side-stepped in an unusual direction, and Peter tried another left, which fell short In a mix np which followed, favors were about even, but McCoy was cautioned by the referee for holding. Maher outpointed the Kid by 50 per cent In this round, sending rights and lefts to the head, while the Kid retaliated with lefts on the wind. Toward the close of the round Maher was cautioned for holding, and, coming from a break-away, be sent a hook to McCoy's face which did the Kid no good. At this stage of the game Maher's friends became very confident that the Irishman would get the better of the Hoosler lad, but McCoy had a great deal more left in him than these people bargained for. He waited for the big fellow, who had the better of the previous round, and tapped him with a left lightly in the face, all he time shifting to the left side, then both landed lefts to the head. Peter sent a hard left to the face, which the Kid countered. Then he sent a left to the throat and tried to cross with his right, but the Kid ducked, and then McCoy landed a left and a right on the jaw. Peter wavered, and McCoy sent another f right, which fell a bit short, and then, dropping his left to the body, he tried a r-ght swing, and, as Peter side stepped, the Kid met him with a lull swing with hs left, which landed on the point of the Jaw, and the Irishman went down, resting on his right elbow, and was counted out In this position. It was a terrific blow, and landing right on the mark, an ox could scarcely have withstood its force. It was the cleanest knockout ever seen in a. ring fight, and wh le some people were unkind enough to say that Maher could have gotten up again, those who were nearest to the fighters and saw the force of the blow were of the opinion that Sullivan, in his palmiest days, could not have withstood It. Probably In the history of ring fights In this vicinity there has never been such a quick change in the betting as that which occurred during the two hours pre ceding this fight For some days past Maher bad been the favorite, as good es 100 to 00 being bet on his chances. One hundred to 70 on Maher was the ruling pr ce when the clubhouse dors opened this afternoon, and in the different sporting zjenters this price was maintained until within an hour of the beginning of the contest Then a peculiar condition of af-fa-rs occurred, and for no apparent rea son Maher stock was beared, while the Kid's was bulled, and when the men got into the ring their positions In the betting market were reversed, with the Kid the favorite. Peter Maher said tonight: "I have no excuses to make for being defeated. The fight was fair and square In every particular. All that I have to say Is that up to the time that I'was knocked out I had a shade the better of the fight" A Trro-Ronnd Knoelc-Ont. HARTFORD, Conn., Jan.

The Spokane high school football team- defeated the Tacoma high school eleven here today, winning the championship of the state by a score of 5 to 0. Hague carried the ball over the line for the only touchdown of the game within two minutes from the time Spokane kicked off. Tacoma lost the ball on a fumble, and Hague went around the right end for 30 yards. Epley failed to kick a goal. The ball was in Tacoma's territory most of the time, Williamson puntlns out of danger repeatedly. Hla punting was one of the features of the game, and in this he far outclassed Rich ards, of the Spokane team. Tacoma had just one chance to tie the game, and that was lost by a fumble by Captain Anderson, of the Tacoma team. He had run down the field to catch Will iamson's punt, and Richards, the only Spo kane man in his way, fell In trying to stop him. Anderson misjudged the ball and It fell over his shoulder and Spokane got it Spokane's backs tore great holes In Tacoma's line, going through, between right guard and tackle repeatedly. Coin er, Tacoma's center, was Injured, but plucklly refused to leave the game. Spo kane pounded the center for three straight gains, and then Coiner was forced out of the game. Wilt, right half for Tacoma, also retired on account" of injuries. The Spokane team, though composed largely of juniors, averaged from five to 10 pounds more per man than the Tacomas In weight, and their team work had reached a stage nearer perfection than had that of Tacoma. Tacoma found It al most impossible to break up the center Interference of the Bunchgrassers. Spo kane's best gains were made by Eastman and Hague around the left end, and Davis and Richards through the line. Both Rich ards and Davis hit the line hard and ef fectively. This Is the first game ever played be tween high school teams representing Eastern and Western Washington. As a result of today's game, a plan is being discussed to make the meetings yearly.

As a result no boats are arriving and departing, and the fer ries have been compelled to shut down. a ' Brown' eyes are sad by, oculists to be the strongest N0SPECIAL1MEAS0RE Columbia Improvement Must Take Chances With' Others. RESTS ON RIVER AND HAtfBOR BILL Everybody Meanwhile in Portland and in the Oregon Delegation Is Pulling Hard for It - WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.- Judging from the vast amount of correspondence that Is constantly reaching the members o the Oregon delegation from Portland, the peo ple of that city are Intensely Interested in securing a deeper channel to the sea,' not only at the mouth of the river, but from Portland, down the Willamette and Co lumbia rivers, to the mouth. In the nu merous petitions from the board of trade and other organizations, the people always ask that Immediate legislation be passed appropriating sufficient money to make the necessary Improvement It is 'In this respect that the Columbia-river people are laboring under a grave misapprehension. For years and years ithas been the cus tom In congress to make all appropriations for river and harbor Improvements a part of a general appropriation bill, which is known as the river and harbor bill. If avails nothing if a member or a senator Introduces a separate bill making appro priations of this character, for such a bill is merely held up, referred to the rlyer and harbor or. commerce committee, as the case may be, and there it is made a part of the general river and harbor bill, or else thrown out altogether. On nu merous occasions attempts have- been made to secure special legislation of this character, but without success. Congress will not have It so, and no member or delegation is able to' set aside this Iron clad rule. For this reason, urgent as may be the need of a deeper channel from Portland to the sea, it will be Impossible to secure any more money from the general gov ernment for this purpose until the next river arid harbor bill is passed. There has been a great deal of speculation as to whether such a bill will be passed this session. The chairman of the river and harbor committee in the house, Represen tative Burton, has come out in a decla ration against such a measure during the present session, but, as has already been pointed out In The Oregonlan, there Is a strong sentiment among the members of this committee to have a river and har bor bill at this session, .and those mem bers Intend to make a fight for it, and against their chairman. To many members of this committee good appropriations this session may mean a return to congress, while no appropriations of this character may. mean their defeat If the bill Is not passed at this session, It cannot go through until after the next election, and to members In a precarious condition this I suspense Is awful. Whether or not there will now be a river and harbor bill de pends upon the number of members of the house committee who will stand up and demand one, and upon the attitude of the speaker. Should the speaker Indorse the stand of Chairman Burton, that would practically kill the bill for the first ses sion of the present congress, despite the efforts of the members of the committee. At all events, there is a warm fight In promise, with very grave doubts at pres ent as to which side will win. It may be said, without hesitancy, that every member of the Oregon delegation is anxious for such a bill to be passed; perhaps not for political reasons, but be cause several large and Important appro priations are needed for the state, and needed immediately. For Instance, the entire delegation is a unit in supporting the large appropriation recommended by the engineers for extending the jetty at the, mouth of the Columbia river, and giving a 40-foot channel over the bar. Then, again, the delegation is united In Its desire to have an Immediate appro priation for deepening the channel from Portland, down the Willamette and Co lumbia to the sea, to facilitate the un restricted entrance and passage of ves sels of great draft. But the delegation, united as it may be. Is unable to secure special appropriations for this purpose, much as they would like to. The Portland Chamber of Commerce re cently addressed the members of the dele gation at length regarding the deepening of the channel belo'w Portland. In point ing out the necessity for an early appro priation for this project, they said that the whole of the wheat of Eastern Oregon and most of Eastern Washington is shipped out of the Columbia river, and that ships now come to Portland to get tills wheat and other products. They cited the vast amount of water trade that is now being carried on by the city of Port land, and showed that 5S2 vessels, with a total net registered tonnage of 746.556 tons, entered and cleared at Portland from October 1. 1S98, to October 1, 1899, with cargoes aggregating the following values: Exports Grain fleet $9,149 022 Oriental steamers 1,500,000 Coastwise 3,350,000 Total ?14,2e9,022 Imports From Europe, Orient and coast ports 6.000,000 Total exports and Imports 120,259,022 This was shown to be the value of the traffic between Portland and the soa, without taking into consideration the small coasters and local river business. The character of the vessels carrying these products is, too well known to ,need review here. It was shown, however, that in the case of some of the larger vessels some delay was occasioned because of sev eral bars, although It Is said that steam ers drawing 23 feet rarely If ever en counter any delay. It Is shown, and properly, that larger vessels, carrying bigger cargoes, can be worked much more economically than small ones; the expense of freight Is. sure to be reduced If larger ships can como Into Portland without delay, and for this Teason they pray for an ap propriation lor a SO-foot channel to the sea, as such a channel would accommo date any and all vessels now In the coast ing or transoceanic trade, or that will be devoted to such trade for many years to come. It is urged that the Port of Port land is expending large sums to do what it can to deepen the channel, but that assistance is needed from the general government In order to accomplish the great task. They say that the Improve ment Is not only of Importance to Port land, but to the whole country, as the Columbia Is the natural outlet of the products of an Immense, rich and produc tive area, which need cheaper handling to give them a better market. Larger vessels from Portland will do this. The engineers have recommended a depth of 25 feet to the sea, but the cham ber makes the point that when the Im provement Is undertaken It might as well be carried to the depth of CO feet, which would obviate' all possible difficulty In the futurer and the delegation takes that stand and will urge a 30-foot channel, rather than a 25-foot channel, as has been recommended by the engineer offi cers. As has been stated, the delegation Is keenly alive to the necessity for a deeper channel; and will work unitedly to secure an appropriation for this purpose at the present session. But in event no river and harbor bill is passed? there will be no appropriation fdr this improvement Such a failure could not be attributed to any lack of effort on the part of the Oregon delegation, who are working now, and will continue to work, to secure ithese much-needed appropriations. Popnlist Campaign Flans. The populists seem" determined to have the first chance to name Bryan for, the presidency. The scheme outlined and cred- ite to Senator Butler, the present chair man of the populist committee, Is to nominate a populist for vice-president on the ticket with Bryan, and then to "pass it up" to the democratic convention, either to accept Bryan and the populist or again to have a double-headed vice presidential campaign, as was the case in 1898. The democrats would thus be placed in a very embarrassing position, and there is some suggestion that the democratic national convention will be held very early for the purpose of fore stalling any such movement and avoid the position of being second in namjng Bryan. This, at least, was a part of the scheme some time ago, but it is appar ently losing favor, because many demo crats do not want to be forced into a ridiculous position by the populist move ment. There Is another story to the effect that Butler Is not very anxious to have any particular co-operation between the demociats and the populists In national affairs, because it may interfere with his plans .during the fall campaign. If he can place the democrats in a position of rejecting the vlcevpresldentlal nominee of the populists, he" may be able to carry the populist party away from the dem ocrats. In this event, he could enter Into a combination with the republicans In North Carolina, in order to defeat the democrats in that state. It is the only method possible - by which Butler can re main in the senate or become governor, and some credit Wm with having an am bition In that direction. One of the pe culiar features of the North Carolina sit uation Is the proposed amendment to be voted on next August, -which will prac tically disfranchise nearly all the negroes of that state. It is understood" that But ler Is willing to enter into a combination with the republicans to defeat this amendment if it should also carry with it a proposition to re-elect him to the sen ate. The republicans of North Carolina, like those of a great many other Southern states, are very peculiar, and are likely to enter Into a combination with either the populists or any other crowd which would Insure them temporary success. It would therefore not be surprising to see any .sort of a dicker made in North Car olina. Butler, In order to Insure his own success, would be only too willing either to throw over the democrats and even the national populist organization, as he knows enough to be sure that there is no possibility of success of either In na tional affairs. The Reciprocity Treaties. The several reciprocity treaties that were recently sent to congress are going to furnish Interesting subjects of discus sion, and In more ways than one, befpre they are finally disposed of. In the first place, there Is an Intense antagonism of various provisions of the treaties that has sprung up In different parts of the country, and great pressure is being brought to bear to defeat the ratification of these treaties on the ground that thej will be detrimental to various American industries. But along with this fight Is a fight which Is very apt to break out in congress over the consideration and rati fication of the treaties. Heretofore, it haa been the undisputed right qf the senate to ratify all treaties to which the United States was a party, ho matter what theli character or scope might be. Now, how-1" ever, it is contended, and with some good backing, it is true, that the house should have a hand in ratifying these treaties. The ground for this contention Is that section 4 of the Dlngley bill, under which the treaties were negotiated, provides that "When any such treaty shall have been duly ratified by the senate and approved byfeongress," etc., It shall be the custom law. Basing their claim on that clause, some members of the house who are anxious to have a hand in the treaties contend that the treaties, when ratified by the senate, must then come to the house and be acted upon by that body, before becoming the custom law. This claim is vigorously contested by a number of senators, who hold to the old custom that the senate Is the only body that is empowered to rat ify treaties. And there Is the rub. The senate is a jealous body, and the house a grasping one. It may or may not have been the Intention of the framers of the Dlngley law to have these treaties come before the house for consideration, but wnetner or no, tney allowed that little phrase to slip In, and that is just where the house seems to have the better of the senate. It may resolve itself info a ques tion of which body puts up the strongest argument, for time is pressing within which to ratify these treaties. The treaty with Argentine must be ratified in Feb ruary; that with France, the most import ant of the lot, must be ratified before the 24th of March, and the treaty with the British colonies of Barbadoes, British Guiana, Jamaica, Bermuda and .Turks and Carcos islands are to be concluded In March. Up to the present time, the senate has gone along, as far as It has taken any action, and ignored the house In the matter, while, It is said, a special subcommittee of the ways and means committee has been appointed, cons!st!ng of Representatives Hopkins. Dolliver, Tawney, Long, Dalzell, Swanson and Cooper, which is to deal with the treaties when they come In. Already numerous and varied protests have been pouring in on the members of congress, both house and senate, and parties interested in industries which will be affected by these treaties are most urgent in their requests that the treat ies be rejected. The members of the Ore gon delegation have not escaped in this respect, but have received numerous com munications from fruitgrowers of Ore gon, as well as horticultural organiza tions and chambers of commerce, asking fhHfithey -use their efforts to defeat these treaties. These petitioners follow a gen eral line of argument, citing the Injury that will result to their particular line of industry, should the treaties be ratified. They eontend, for Instance, that a re duction of the Import duties on prunes, citrous fruits, etc., from France, Jamaica, Bermuda and other points afCected by the treaties, will be a great detriment to the prune, citrous fruit and other industries of the Pacific coast states, and they there fore protest against the ratification of any treaty containing a provision for re duction of duties on such products or commodities. They also petition that the members of the Oregon delegation re quest that the president and senate do not enter into any treaty whereby one or more of the great Industries of the Pacific coast would be injured. Members of the California and "Wash ington delegations have received similar "petitions and memorials from chambers of commerce, fruitgrowers and others. The delegations from other states, with other Industries that are affected by the treaties, are being besieged by requests from the interests in their states that will suffer more or less as a result of these treaties, and on the whole, there Is a great opposition sprung up against their ratification. A number of senators have become impressed with the justice of the claims of the American producers and manufacturers, and while they will not now express themselves definitely, it Is gathered from their conversation that they will oppose the treaties when they formally and finally come before the sen ate for ratification. The fact that this opposition Is on the Increase, and steadily growing, although silently, has given rise to a profound fear on the part of the friends of the treaties, and extra efforts are being put forth to hold what ground they now have. In the hope of putting the treaties through in the allotted time. It Is difficult to predict what the chances are for ratification In the senate, but if ever these treaties reach the house, they are probably gone. The recent declara tion of the French government on the French-American treaty, showing that the odds on that treaty were 5 to 1 in favor of France, did not help the treaties in the least, but has rather done more than anything else to arouse an active opposition to ratification, especially of the French treaty Over 1000 houses In London are tenant less because they are supposed to be haunted. THE KAISER'S MISTAKE- HE THOUGHT YESTERDAY WAS THE OPENING OF THE SEW CEXTUBY. Address to the Troops on the Be. dedication of the Standards Future of Army and Navy. BERLIN, -Jan. 1. The day broke dark, cold and foggy, with a drizzling rain, but the great ceremony of awakening the city was nevertheless perrormed success fully by the military bands and drum and fife corps of the whole garrison, marching at the quickstep from the castle to the Brandenburg gate and back, rouslnjj the population with deafening echoes. The emperor and empress, as usual, were early about The significant act of rededi catlng the flags of the Prussian army, which occurred In the forenoon, was a most solemn ceremony. His majesty, with the four eldest princes, walked briskly over from the castle to the "Hall of Glories," In whose interior - court, in the presence of Germany's emperor and princes, the act took place. The flags were piled up before an altar specially erected, where the Prot estant and Catholic army chaplains per formed the dedicatory xltes. The emperor epoke kindly to Field Marshal Blumenthal, it years old, who was present. The cm press drove up in a coach and six, with the two youngest princes, Oscar and Joa chim, and the little princesses, all of them witnessing the scene from a window. The sign and countersign given out by the em peror was "Koenlgsberg-Berlln," smybol lcally typifying Prussia's rise during the century. The decree awarding each flag a new ornament, clasp and ribbon, went into ef fect forthwith, each regiment marching with Its flags thus decorated. A similar decree was published today by the prince regent of Munich and other German rulers. It was noticed that during the rededi catlon, the emperer addres&ed kindly words to Prince Frederick Leopold, who Is bere for a few days from his banishment In Cassel. The emperor's address during the exer cises was considered another deeply sig nificant expression of his majesty's firm Intention to maintain the empire in its Integrity. The passage affirming the em peror's will to preserve Germany's unity, and indivisibility, and where he said he would continue.Mn spite of all hindrances, to make the navy as powerful as the army, made a deep Impress-on, ,and his remarks are this evening commented upon liberally in diplomatic circles. His majesty delivered his address In a- high-pitched, resonant, strident voice. Each syllable was pathetically emphasized. During the afternoon hours the emperor called upon the ministers and princes. The United States ambassador, A. D. White, and Mrs. White being out calling them selves, the emperor failed to meet them personally at their residence on Senna strasse. The American colony kept the day qrtho doxly. Pastor Dickie held a reception, and Consul-General Mason and Mrs. Ma son and Mrs. Robblns did the same. The rest of the Americans were out calling all day. Emperor "William, at the parade, ad dressed the oflicers of the garrison as fol lows: "The first day of the new century sees our army, in other words, our people, In arms, gathered around their standards kneeling before the Lord of hosts, and. verily, if any one has especial reason this day for bowing down before God, it is our army. A glance at our standards suf fices as an explanation, for they are the embodiment of our history. "In what condition did the past century at Its dawn find f our army? The glorloua army of Frederick the Great had slept upon Its laurels, fossilized amid all the 'petty detail of pipe clay, led by super annuated and Insufficient generals, with ofilcers unaccustomed to useful work and lost In debauch, luxury and fool.sh arro gance. Our army, In a word, was not equal to its mission, whlcn, indeed, it had forgotten. Heavy was the chastisement of heaven whch overtook It and fell on our people, It was cast Into the dust, the glory of Frederick was extinguished and our standards were broken. "In many long years of bitter servitude God taught the people to look to tnem selves, and under the pressure at the foot of the proud conqueror, our people engen dered In itself the most sublime thought that it Is the highest honor to dedicate one's blood and purse to the Fatherland in her armed service. Form and life weTe given It by my great-grandfather; new laurels crowned the newly created army and its youthful banners, but universal military service only attained 'its true significance through our great departed emperor. In his quiet work he cvolvei: the reorganization of our army, in spite nf nnnosltion and Ignorance. Glorious campaigns crowned his work In a way never expected. His spirit filled the ranks of our army, even as his own trust in God bore our troops to astonishing vic tories. "With this, his own creation, ne brought the German races together and gave us back long-desired German unity. It Is to him that our thanks are due, and by the help of that army the German empire, commanding respect, has again as sumed the position assigned to It In the council of nations. "It Is for you, gentlemen, to preserve and employ In the new century the other qualities by which our forefathers macro the army great, namely, simplicity ana modesty In dally life, devotion to tne royal service, the employment of one's whole strength of body and mind In tne ceaseless work of training and developing our troops, and, even as my grandfather labored for his army, so will T, In lIKe' manner, unerringly carry on and carry through the work of reorganizing my navy In order that it may be justified in standing by my land forces, and that the empire may be in a position to win the placo which it has not yet attained. With the two united, I hope to be enabled, with a firm trust in the guidance of God, to prove the truth of the saying of Frederick Will lam the First. 'When one in this world wants to decide something with the pen he does not do It unless supported by the strength of the sword.' " Emperor William has Issued an order to the army, announcing that, in accordance with, the unanimous decision of the Ger man sovereigns, a badge, commemorative of the last century and as a fresh pledgo of the unity and Indissolubility of the em pire, has been established for the colors of the whole army. Mr., White informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that the emperor at the circle addressed him with particu lar kindness, and at considerable length. His majesty expressed great satisfaction that relations with the United States dur ing the year 1899 were so greatly improveo. and that so many obstacles to a better understanding between the two nations had been Temoved. He said he, with the rest of Germany, had been deeply and ap preciatively touched by various passages In the president's message. The new United States consul at Han over, J. E. White, has arrived here, ana A touch is enough for cleanliness. - That is why it lasts so. IS! Splendid Work Done Under Dr. Copeland's Ex cellent System.

CATARRH 18 YEARS CURED. Mrs. J. A. Arnsplser, OSS Corhett street, Portland: I suffered with catarrh of the head and throat for IS years. There was a constant discharge of mucus from Mrs. J. A. Arnspiser, G8 Corbett St., Portland, Cured of Catarrh. behind the palate Into the throat. This, together with the hawking and spitting, kept the throat raw and sore. The nose filled up with scabs and chunks of tough mucus, which I could blow out only after a very great effort. For two or three days at a time my nose would "be so clogged up I could hardly breathe, and my head felt stuffy and heavy. The first thing in the morning I would have a coughing spell, and there was pain and soreness In the chest. My breathing was short. Finally my entire system became tainted with the catarrhal poison. I had no appetite and my sleep was restless. I had horrible dreams and got up in the morning weary and tired. I had no strength at all. A little exertion, 'such as walking up a flight of stairs, brought on heart palpitation. I was terribly nervous. The least thing would excite me and make me tremble from head to foot. This was my condition when I began treatment at the Copeland Institute upon the earnest advice of friends. Before the end of the flrst month I saw an Improve ment, and now I feel better than I have in 20 years. In fact, I am enjoying as good health as I aver did in my life.

In this morning's issue you say there are a number of misled people who think this is the 20th century- There are also a number of people who think this is the 1st of January, and Monday, and that it has been the 1st of January since 12 o'clock this morning; but according to your theory it would not be the 1st of January until the day was completed, or it wouldn't be Monday till Tuesday morn ing, and this is Sunday Instead of Mon day. Since we figure from the supposed birth of Christ, the logical deduction would be that at the end of 1900 yeare from that time we have completed 19 centuries, and have entered on the 20th century; and It would seem as reasonable to suppose that It took eight days to make a week, or 32 days to make a month, as 1201 years to complete th 19th century.
