New York, Jan. .1.Robert Fitzsim

"These are Ead days for the world of

the boxer, the manager and the fight

"New York. but recently the Mecca cf
the pugilistic ft eternity, a veritable gold

the sport of the 'ectuared circle.'
"And why has this COMP to pass?
"The answer is easy. S.Smply because
these modern gladiators could not or
would not believe that a fighter's best
stoek in teaSe is to be on the level'.
-Their greed for gold robbed thern of
then. senees. Their one blea has been to
get the money.' L.ittle heed did they pay
to the manner of the getting. No trick
ery nor Eliamsful schemes e-eemed to
them too low. provided it came arm in
arm with a goodly bunch of Uncle SEIM.3
"These would seem burning words for

GRAND GIFT' OF TROTTERS.
---
Owners of Horses Preseta Them to
Their Trainer
Lexington, Ky., Jan. 2.The gift of
the Miller & Sibley trotting holdings,
consisting of 21 head of horses, to Chas.
Marvin develops the fact that Marvin
-has been receiving more from the firm
than Sibley was making in congress.The
trainer's retainer was $5,000 a year and
in addition he received a percentage of
winnings, which was guaranteed to be
at least $2,500.
Cecellan. 2:,22, and a band of six brood
mares highly bred, are included in the
gift. The good campaigner, Pattlesign,
2:13,-i, heads the horses in training, ard
there is a good lot of youngsters coming
on from which Marvin expects to devel -
op stake winners. Marvin will have the
use of Ashland Park farm for two yeats,
when the lease held by Miller & Sibley
wiil expire. Marvin has ridden behind
more wozlds, record performers than
any living man, and his reputation is
national. The gift of Miller & Sibley is
considered the equivalent of $25,000 by
horsemen who are in a position to know
the value of the animals transferred.
Miller & Sibley first attempted to es
tablish a breeding farm in Pennsylvania,
but, failing-,brought their horses to Ken
tucky about ten years ago. Since 1891
'Marvin has been in their employ. They
were heavy buyers of Palo Alto stock,
and their Pennsylvania place,was known
as the Palo Alto of the East. Their re
tirement from the business is the cause
of universal regret among horsemen
here.
RACING TO 00 ON AT ST. LOUIS
-
Will Commence at Fair Grounds on
llay 11, With Kin lock Park Later.
St Louts, Jan. 2.--Racing will be re
sumed at the St Louis fair grounds 03
May 11, to continue for 90 days, the
it fixed by the :Missouri breeders' law for
any single track. Although the Turf con
gress permits the St. Louis course to be
open on April 1, the state law does not.
It fixes the opening of the season at
April 15, and the close at November 1.
Thie gives St. Louis 171 days of actual
racing. Between April 15 and May 11,
when the fair g-rounds opens, it is con
sidered likely that Kin loch park will
have a season of 23 days. If the Ti IlesAdler-Cell
syndicate trark completel
by the end of the fair grounds season.
and the ICinloch people seek to resume
at that time. a fight between it and the
syndicate would undoubtedly result.

to make up his mind whether or not he
will tight EPn Jordan If at the end of

feathervvelght champion never will get
another chance to fight Jordan or any

"'Under no circumstances will the
purse be increased," said Dr. Ordway,
the National club's representative. "The
club will give the boys a- purse of $3,-
750, with liberal expenses to McGovern.
If McGovern does not come to the

Kid Broad's manager said loday that

Yanger's manager, between whom and
Hcuseman there appears to be a bitter
personal feud, refused to transact a-DV
business while Houseman was ac,ting as
a representative for McGovern. He
wired Sammy Harris, McGovern's man

it was tbe execution of several men and

woman was being' hanged for passing
counterfeit one pound notes. lie learned
also that this punishment was quite a

wretches often sinned in ignorance, being'
the dupes of men who sent them to buy

A SOUR STOMACH
Is Often the Reef Cause of a Sour
Temper.
That the condition of the digestive or
gans has a marked effect upon the char
acter or disposition is a truism as ol4:1 as
the hills. Old Ben Johnson wisely said
"the pleasure of living depends upon the
liver" and it is a fact which none may
dispute that a sunny disposition more
often results from a healthy digestion
than from any other cause.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called sour
stomach or heartburn, is caused by slow
digestion of food; instead of being
promptly digested and converted into
blood, bone and muscle, it lies in the
stomach for hours, fermenting and de
caying, creating gases which cause pres
sure en the lungs and heart, short
breafh and general discomfort and irri
tation. Such half digested food is indeed pee
nourishment for the body, brain a,nd
nerves and the result Is shown in irHta
ble telatpers, unaccountable headaches
and that depressing condition usually
called the "blues" but how quickly al:
these disappear when appetite and di
gestion are restored.
Laxative medicines only irritate the
already irritated stomach and bowels
and have no effect upon actual digestion
of food.
The sensible course to follow is to
make use of simple natural digestive
like Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets after
-meals until the stomach has a chance to
recuperate.
The natural digestives which every
healthy stomach contains are peptones,
dastaste and Hydrochloric and lactic ac
ids and when any of them are lackirg
the trouble begins: the reason Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are so valuable are!
successful in curing stomach troubles is
because they contain, in a pleasant coa
