Ziegler and McPartland were among the greatest lightweights of their clay, although neither attained tho championship. Owen, who was born in Lonsdale, Pa., in 1871. was amateur champion of America before he entered the professional ring in 1392. He took part in more than 150 regular battles, besides touring Amer ica and meeting all comers. He fought welters, mlddleweiglits ami heavyweights, as well as men of Ills own class. On one occasion lie fought Bat Wilkinson, a heavyweight, In Ohio, and knocked lsim out in the 37th round of a battle fought with.^kln gloves. Zlegier, after drawing with McPartland, was later defeated by the Kiel In two long battles. McPartland, who Is now about 43, is still interested in tho game, acting as referee in New York bouts. He took part ill over a hundred battles, most or tnem over tho long route, and was seldom de feated.

"Boxing day,'- the 2Bth of Decem ber, bears no relation to the noble art, but is so called because of the English custom of distributing the collections from Christmas boxes among the poor on that day. Nevertheless it was quite appropriate that one of the greatest and most scientific lighters of the nineteenth century was born on that date just 114 years ago to day. Jem Ward has had few If any superiors, both as a boxor and lighter, In the history of the ring. While he never fought in America, he spent several years on this side of the At lantic and for a time was a popular idol among the New York sports. Ward was borg' in England, near Bow, but both his parents were Irish. His father was a laborer, who earned a living by loading coal on board ships and Je mtoolc up the same occupation when old enough. His nickname of "tile Black Diamond." which stuck to him all his life, was gained while fol lowing tills humble occupation. Jem was well educated, and In his youth developed a fondness for painting which, if developed, might have made him a great artist. Jem always likeil to dabble with the brush, and some of his paintings won praise from artists of distinction. Being Irish, the fighting blood was In his veins, and as a lad he boxed with his companions, using stuffed ' etockings as gloves. After several unimportant bouts, he whipped Dick Acton, a good fighter, in 1S22. Then lie nearly ruined his career by quit ting in a fight with Bill Abbott. The fake, which Jem finally confessed, was so flagrant that Ward was ex pelled from the Pugilistic Club. Hia regret was so sincere that after u time he was taken back Into the good graces of the sports, and in 1S25, aft er several victories over other aspir ants, he became the champion of Eng land. In 1S27 he lost the title to Peter Crawley, but the latter was so badly punished that ho relinquished the honors rather than fight Ward again, in 1S28 he defeated Jack Car ter and was again proclaimed cliam ; pion. Ward again fell into dlsro pute by engaging in another fake, and for a second time was ruled out o! tlio ring. After another period of deep disgrace. Jem was given another chance to redeem his blackened rep utation, and was permitted to light Simon Byrne, "the Emerald Gem." Ward defeated the game Irishman, and for the third time was presented with the championship belt. Jem then held the title until 1S39, when he retired and handed over his belt to Bendigo. For several years after quitting the ring Jem was a tavern keeper in Liv erpool and London, but he was a poor business man, and all his ventures failed. In 1S5S he decided to try his luck in the New World, and sailed for New York. "The Black Diamond" was given a rousing reception in the American metropolis. John Morris sey, a member of the Unitod States Congress and former champion ol America, took the distinguished visi tor under his wing, and for a time Jem's address was No. 1 Easy street. Politicians, writers, artists and men of wealth were among Jem's friends, land Jem realized a small fortune from I a benefit given him. Fame Is a fickle jade, however, and gradually Ward's popularity waned, and ho returned to England with no moro money than when he loft that country. For a tlmo poor old Jem fought a losing fight against poverty, but at longtli ho had to seek rofugo in a home for old liquor dealers. There.he spent his last years, in happiness and comfort. He died thirty years ago, in 1884, in the 84th year of his age. Christmas Treat at Cook Hospital The annual Christmas tree and din ner at Cook hospital took place Thurs day evening and the celebration was one of the largest and most enjoyable ever held. The dinner was served at 5 o'clock and later the presents from the tree were distributed. The din ing room was done In Christmas col ors, with laurol and holly predominat ing. The nurses and other employes of the hospital received many beau tiful gifts. The Sunday school class of Mrs. P. B. Henry, of the First M. E. church, sent a large supply of potted plants for all of tho ward patients, while Will C. Fleming sent ia box of orang es and fruits for the nurses. Dr. Carr "contributed a ten pound box of candy for the nurses. Mrs. C. O. Jackson and Mrs. J. M. Jacobs, representing ?he iBahelle Dav is Circle of King's Daughters of the First M. E. church, accompanied by Mr. Arthur Thompson, ivlslted the hos pital and distributed presents to the patients during the evening; "They also left a bountiful; supply of nuts, fruit and candy for the nureos. .

CYCLISTS RIDING AT A TOP SPEED, USE RIFLES AND BAYONETS. DUNKIRK, France, Dec. 24.?(Cor respondence of The Associated Press). ?That troops mounted on bicycles may be used at times for purposes of (lie charge, with fully as gooil results j as cavalry, is said to be proven by the fighting at Apromont. The Germans attacked tho Frer-" defending Aprcmont, and compel':! them to abandon one trench after a other, and finally the town itself. A desperate struggle was kept up, how ever, at the main bridge out of the town. The German regiments surged to the attack with fierce shouts, and It looked as if the French wore to be completely routed, when unexpected reinforcements came up in the form of a company of cyclist chasseurs,' The cyclists had unslung their rifles and fixed their bayonets. Riding at a top speed, with their bayonets in front of them like lances, they swept through a cloud of dust straight into the crowded masses of the enemy at the bridge head. There was an inde scriable melee of men and machines, hut the cyclists, some mounted and some dismounted, used their bayonets with such good effect tlint in five min utes the Germans were in retreat. Bv this time the French infantry hail re formed and swept up at double-quic': to reinforce the cyclist3 and make tho recapture of the town secure.

The Frankfurter Zeltung publishes the following letter from a German officer, commenting on the prowess of Britain's Indian troops: "Today for the first time we had to fight against the Indians, and the devil knows those brown rascals are not to be underrated. At first we spoke with contempt of the Indians. Today we learned to look at them in a different light. For three days we wore shell ed continuously; the British thought we were pounded into a Jelly, so they sent us a little surprise in the shape of a visit from their brown allies. "Satan only knows what the Eng lish had put Into those fellows. Those who stormed our lines were either drunk or possessed with an evil spir it, With fearful shouting, in compari son with which our hurrahs were like the whining of a baby, thousands of these brown forms rushed upon us as suddenly as if they were shot out of a fog.
