THE EXD OK KIGIITIXG. tlNCE A MEMORABLE bout with a California stripling called James J. Corbett, John L. Sulll Yan has led a tamo and, peaceable rocifi:iee, Interesting himself in pu gilists and their affairs, casually, as any noncombatant should. The ""wanly game"does not attract him any more,, ho says, because it is not Bat It once was. Occasionally John Indulges himself with retros 3antfair, and finds cause to lament iiic times that have been, and which are no more. Pugilism is moribund, lo nays, and to win a championship licit nowadays Is not vastly better than winning the prize for perfect attendance at Sabbath school. Ilr. Sullivan belongs to tho old school of fighters of which tho in trepid. Jake Kihaln was a notable member. They didn't use gloves lieu Mr. Sullivan was In h-3 prime, and when they fought they '.night In :Uw open air, not for points or de cisions, but to the ensanguined fin ish. They knew not a gieat deal about tho science of boxing, but .unnd up and smote each other, as jrr. Sullivan says men should; and "3c who was able to stand up longest wan tho victor. The valiant John "has fought several battle which ap imcmchod 100 rounds In duration and which, according to tho dean of tho 3ngilists, possessed a gory glory thnt will come no more. Speaking of sev eral recent lights, Mr. Sullivan de clares them to be denatured com aats. unexciting, and tho sport of xcafcllnga. 3Ir. Sullivan Is ono of tho few men In the world who regret the day f tho baro-knucklo mills. It is true ahai fighting has been deprived of Sis most strenuous features, and that trickery and deceit have entered tho game nnd disgusted oven a certain percentage of tho sporting frater nity. "Besides being tho pastime of shildron," says Mr. Sullivan, "flght InR Is no longer 'square,' " Mr. Sul livan Is right: It Is not often "'square" Prize fighting is doomed not because It is a degenorato aport, as Mr. Sullivan asserts, but Jierauso tho refining influences of g-Jrillzntion nro rapidly overcoming lac brutality of tho world. Tho 'lime is not far off when prlzo flght ing -will bo tolerated no more than aonld bo gladiatorial encounters "iritfi short swords. STATE POLICE. TiS A SIGN of tho times when ono of tho loading organs of democratic opinion, tho Now "Serb World, proposes to havo tho .state nssumo police duty and tako Tthc, responsibility of law enforce ment on Its own shoulders. It costs eight million dollars a jciT to polico New York City, and 3tm World doclares that "tho sorvico is corrupt, Inefllclont nnd derelict." mayor McClollnn nnd his admlnistrn lilou aro credited with good purposes, Home rule hns brokon down." That fis tan vordlct of tho World. Muw York has finally abandoned Hint- attempt to rogulnto public serv ice colourations by municipal action. The stato has tnkon that duty upon itself. Piesldent Eliot of Harvard lays tho state must also onforco tho tos. Municipal governmont Is not xqual to punishing "state niado irrisjfts." What Is moving In Now York is asking ovorywhore. Tho right of Hut locality to rule itself is not be Jbk accoptcd any longor ns an ox tuw for not having lnw enforcod. 'The law is inndo by tho stnto. It is 3b tho laU analysis tho duty of tho ato to soo thnt it Is respected. In Oregon na in Now York thoro t WITH THE t 5 TflAQT AMn TPfl f XXXXXXXXX:&tf:0-f GOOD EVENING. X ."T llpn fni tlmcn wl-ir.

X rfXXsX0&XXXXXXXXXXXfXXsOi CRUISE OF THE WATER WAGOX. Oh a capital ship for a holiday trip Was tho wonderful old Water Wagon; It came early and late, and, If truth wo must state, Thero were some who just man aged to tag on, For sho gathered them In tho stout and the thin, Taking all who'd swear off from the flagon; 'Twas a glorious sight all tho faces contrite Looking down from tho good Water Wagon. But, sorry to tell, there were several who fell (And somo of them hadn't a rag on) When they took a cigar upon reach ing the bar, And forsook the good ship Water Wagon. And some, all too frail, they would lean on tho rail, But it happened the ship ran a snag on, So that t these were deplored when they fell overboard And were lost from the old Water Wagon. Still the number grew less, till we're bound to confess , Very soon thero were few left to brag on; And altho It seems queer, ono day It was clear There was nobody left on tho AVagon. Then tho captain he spoko (he was great on the Joke) "Now why shouldn't I get a jag on?" There's no use to pretend this re mark was the end Of tho cruise of tho good Water Wagon. So you always will hear about this time of year Of n ship with a snowy-white flag on; But feel no concern all your friends will return Very soon from tho good Water Wagon. ANON. m Precaution. "Young man," said her father, "I don't want jou to bo too nttentlve to my daughter." "Why or really," stammered tho timid joutig man, "I hail hoped to marry her somo" "Exactly, and I'd like to havo you marry her, but If you're too nttentlvo to her you won't linvo money enough to do it."

"Well, mum," responded Beefsteak Ben as he tried to lemovo tho bulldog from his shins, "I'll be nn Invalid if I stay hero much longer." Tho Poor Milkman Again. The mllkninn was boiling over with Indignation. "And you mean to say my milk don't look light?" lie snapped. "Why, lady, this cnu of milk Is n picture!" "Ah, yes," laughed the keen house wife; "a lino water color." Exchange. Restless. Caller So your cook lias passed away to n better place? Hostess Yes, but 1 don't know If she'll stay.

Tired of his wasted efforts, the lender stopped tho orchestra nnd angrily turned to the singer. "I know that n tenor is proverbially stupid," ho said, "but you seem to make an extensive use of this unwrit ten law." At another tlme, while one of his grand intermezzos was being played with great feeling by his musicians, n peculiar noise, hardly perceptible by untrained ears, annoyed the leader for some little time. At first he thought it resembled the flutter of wings, but soon ho discovered an elegant Inuy j fanning herself in ono of the boxes J close by. Bnlow kept on with lite ges tures, fixing his eyes on the offender in n manner which meant reproof. The lady, not heeding this, was suddenly , surprised by the lender dropping his stick and turning toward her.

"It Is nn Invariable fact." said the professor nt the club, "that the sense of sight travels more rapidly tlian the 1 sense of sound.

Waterproofing Matches. Perhaps home of jour readers would be Interested to know that I have found a simple. Inexpensive way to waterproof matches. Into some melted pnrullln, care being taken th.it It was ns cool ns possible, I dipped a few or dinary parlor matches. After with drawing them mid allowing them to cool It was found that they scratched almost as easily ns before being coated with the wax. Several were held un der water for M or seven hours, and all of them lighted as easily ns be fore ImniL'ision. When the match is scratched tho paraflin Is tlrst tubbed off nnd the match lights In the usual way. Mntchcs treated as above would be very useful on camping or canoeing dips, ns they do not nboib moisture Since more rubbing is required to light them than the oidinnry match.
