H*» Lacks the Necessary Skill 'o Put His Wonderful Mus cular Gifts to lie—McCoy Claims to Have Trained as Faithfully as Though to Meet a Champion. NEW YORK, Dec. IS.—"Kid" McOoy and Peter Maher. tw \the best and yet most uncertain o fevyweights of the American ring— Jf, by the way, is the prize ring of the irorld—will meet in this city the afternoon of New Year's day. They will tight by daylight at 3 o'clock in ih- afternoon, and no attempt will be made to take pictures of the niht —at least, that is the present plan of the promoters of the affair. The tight is S;: for the afternoon simply because the management of tne ciub thinks a b.-tter crowd will turn out than at night. Despite the reports of his illness and general breakdown in health, McCoy con tinues to be supremely confident of his ability to land a winner in the coming battle against the former Irish champion. This is the way 'he ""Kid" telis of the fight and his impression of it in writing for a New Yo:k paper: •"There is an old saying that 'txperi nee is the best leather.' This is undoubtedly so. Nevertheless, there are many things a man can learn by close observation. One of these is to avoid danger, and that is the lesson 1 have learned in watching Peter Maher fight. I am going to profit by that lesson when I meet him in the arena of the Coney Island Sporting club New Year's day. 'I refer to that terrific right aim with CURED BY The mosi, effective skin purifying and beautifying soap in the world, as well as purest and sweetest for toilet, bath, and nursery.

"HowtoCur«Piraj>W.,"fr«fc •ABY HUMMS^^^fSS?^ which the man from the Emerald Isle has sent to grass so many good boxers —box- ers who had him on the run until in a moment of overconttdence they ventured within range of that death-dealing shaft of bone and muscle. Witness Joe Ctaoyn ski's fate at the Broadway club when he met the Irishman. HOLDS MAHER EASY. "If I am in proper condition Maher will prove an easy task for me. 1 do not con sider that a man of his caliber is a wor thy opponent for a good shifty boxer who 'never loses his head. Such tactics as I employed in my light with Sharkey wiil undoubtedly prove too much for the Irish man. '•Maher's sole reliance In tho ring is his strength. He is somewhat cleverer than he was several years ago, but is still a long way from what could be called a clever man. And there lit- s his weakness, which will bring about his downfall. Hio wild rushes, backed up by nothing but bull strength, cannot win against a shifty boxer who keeps out of his way. "If left alone Maher will defeat him self. He will work his strength out in a vain endeavor to reach his man, and wh'n the crucial moment arrives will fall an easy victim to good, hard, straight punch ing. Again, the Irishman lacks one es sential point for the making of a good lighter—he is not willing to take a gruel ing. "It has been stated that the great ad vantage in weight whifh MaJier will have over me will bring about my defeat. The same thing was said when I met Shar kt\v, ard yet a:-k Sharkey today who gave him the hardest battle he ever had. Will he say Maher, Fitzsimnibns, Jeffries? I don't think so. I think he will te* you that 'Kid' McCoy handed him out the toughest argument within the confines of a ring that it was ever his lot to run up against. M'COY ON HITTING. "As to hitting, while, as I say, I have the greatest regard for tho Irishman's punching abilities, nevertheless, I'm not so very bad in that line myself. I tap ped Sharkey one that kept him on the floor for almost the limit, and sent him tottering to the very edge of the preci pice of oblivion. A few love pats such as those won't do Mal.er any good, that's certain. "You ,see, I have weighed my chances in this battle from every standpoint, pro and con. Every principle involved has been as carefully worked out as though 1 were trying to locate the north pole. I know Maher's strong points just as "well as I do his weak ones, and I am almost as familiar with both as 1 am with my own capabilities as a boxer. I neither underrate nor overrate him. I simply take him for what I think he Is worth, and the sum total of this calculation places him several degrees below wh;it I consider my own pugilistic capabilities. ' Never a man went into the ring who trained more faithfully for a battle than I have for this one, and I can truthfully make use of that old stock phrase and say I am In the pink of condition. Those who are picking Maher to defeat me on the strength of my lack of appreciation of his capabilities had best remember what I said about observation. 1 have read Maher like a book." A LA SILLIVAW MoGovern Stops Two Men in One Evening. CINCINNATI, 0., Dec. 18.—Terry Mc- Govern added two more victims to his long list here tonight in the arena of the People's Athletic club. His task was a very easy one, his opponents be ing badly frightened when they faced the little wonder. Hi 3 first bout was to be ten rounds with Charlie Mason, of Chicago. Mason had the advantage in weight by eight or ten pounds. Mc- Govern sent his left to Mason's face re peatedly In the first round, driving him atout the ring. He did not use his right at all, and at the end of the round Mason was bleeding from the mouth and ncae, and went to his corner groggy. As they came together for the second round McGovern put his right to the jaw, which sent Mason down. After taking the count, he arose only to go down and out by a right and left on the jaw. Mason landed but one clean blow during the contest, a left swing to the jaw. During the interval between McGov ern's bouts, Slfj Hart, of Chicago, and Dan Dougherty, of Philadelphia, went on for what was to be a ten-round go. Hart was knocked out in the sixth round. McGovern's second opponent was "Freckles" O'Brien, of New Orleans, who weighed about 130 pounds. After feinting for the first two minuter ihey THK ST. PAUI* GLOBEfTtCBSDAYY DECEMBER 10, 1899. went to a clinch and on the breakaway McGovern hooked his left to the jaw, which sent O'Brien down and out. In the first preliminary George Grant knocked out Bill Kennedy in the fourth round. The Typewriter Invention.

F. Clark, 524 CeJar street, were entered by thieves yesterday afternoon. A gold watch and chain valued at $60 were stolen. The rob bery is believed to have ceen committed by a stranger, who called at the rooms dm ing the afternoon. Shortly before 3 o'clock a well dressed man appeared at the Clark apartments and asked if Mr. Smith lived there. Mrs Cltrk, who was alone, informed him that no such person was known to her. The n:an said he was sure Mr. Smith lived in tiio block and wanted to wait. Mrs. Clark told him she- was going out so he could not remain in her apartments and the fellow left. Mrs. Clark went down town and when she returned, an hour later, discovered that a thief had en tered her room.-. The burglar had con ducted a hurried search, throwing articles about the rooms, and was probably in terrupted in his work, as only a watch and chain belonging to Mrs. Clark were missed. The robbery was reported to the police. A good description of th^ supposed burglar was obtained and corresponds to th.-tt of the expert daylight thief who is b'lleved to have recently committed so many successful robberies throughout the city.

COMPANY C WILL CONTINUE. Pioneer Militia Organisation of St. Paul Not to Be Allowed to Lapse. Company C, of the Thirteenth regiment, took steps to organize and become a com pany of the new First regiment, at a meeting held last night in the armory. The matter was thoroughly discussed In a meeting which was attended by thirty two members of the company and a num ber of the members of the old militia company, and It was decided to hold an other meeting Jan. 8, at which the details of the organization will be completed. A proposition was backed by a number of the company men to organize as C company of the Thirteenth regiment, and then petition Gov. Lind to muster in the company unuer this title. The plan was defeated, however. The matter was set tled by an agreement to the effect that the new company shall take in all the members who served in the Philippines, the old members and those who were pre vented from sharing in the foreign cam paign. It was definitely decided to re organize as Company C of the Pirst reg iment. The decision was largely influenced by a desire to preserve the title under which the old St. Paul gufcrds, the first military organization of ihe state, enlistel for serv ice in the Civil war. The honorable rec ord of the company in the past made It desirable to perpetuate it unbroken. This is now possible, even though the com pany is in a mannexvdlatwganizod, because of the fact that at the opening of hos tilities and the organization of C com pany of the Thirteenth, the adjutant gen eral of the national guard issued orders granting the company Indefinite leave of absence. This is sufficient to continue the company organization until the plan of entering the new First regiment can be carried out. The members of the company remem bered their companions who remained in service in Luzon and voted to send the three. Privates Kelly, Gowllng and Gor don, a Christmas box, with the good wishes of those at home. A committee consisting of Messrs. Hazenwinkle, Lyons and Cochran was appointed to solicit funds and purchase the contents for the box. There is a strong probability that Ihe old officers of the company, Capt. Noyes C. Robinson, Lieut. Clarence Bunker and Lieut. James Snow, will continue in com mand upon the reorganization. FOR I&OO SANGERFEST. Committee Is Arranging; *or *ne Meeting; in July. Committees were appointed to take charge of the coming sangerfest of the Scandinavian Singing societies, at a meet ing of members of the Scandinavian Sfng ing Societies association held last night at the Merchants' hotel. The annual sangerfest occurs in St. Paul, July 6 to 8, 1900. An executive committee was elected to have general charge of local arrange ments for the coming event, consisting of A. C. Floan, chairman; H. Lohrbauer, secretary; E. H. Hobe. and A. Stolpe. stad, treasurer. The plans for the sangerfest were con sidered at length. The concerts of the singing societies will be held eilher in the People's church or the Auditorium. The committees decided to give a matinee concert during the test, and a grand pic nic Sunday, July 8. Reports were read indicating that 800 singers will be pres ent, in addition to those who will attend for other reasons. A feature 0/ the pro gramme for the three days' celebration will be a concert in Minneapolis, at which the whole chorus of SOO will appear. Considerable routine work was accom plished, and as chairmen 'of the different subcommittees the following were ap pointed: Finance, E. H. Hobe; printing and advertising. J. J.

Smith, of the street railway com pany, asked the assembly committee on streets yesterday that the ordinance pro viriiner for an extension of the Lafayette and Rondo line on Maryland avenue be laid over for a time, as the company has pic 11s, which could not be divulged at present, regarding an extension of the present line to Lake Phalen. Whether the extension would be made depended upon the question of whether the assess ment for Phalrn park, now before the board of public works, was sucorssful Until this had been settled the"company was not ready to say what it would do. The ordinance was laid over until Febru ary. The application of Attorney W. B. Brewster, for a license to operate a night soil plant on the West side levee between Delos and Minerva streets, was referred to a committee consisting of Messrs. Thompson, Nelson and Dlx to report as to the proposed location. T. R. Palmer, as guardian of the heirs of John Camp bell, sent the committee a communication & fating that the property where the plant waa to be located had been dedicated to the city for use as a public levee, or street, and in case it was used for any other purpose would revert to the heirs of the grantor. F. A. Pike, appearing for Brewster, said the company would not locate on the levee at the point men tioned in the application, but at some other point, just where, was unable to say. In order to ascertain the exact lo cation, the committee mentioned was ap pointed. When the committee reports Thursday night, the resolution approvlng the application will be acted upon. The resolution Introduced by Assembly man Kirke, allowing tho Northwestern Telephone company the right to put it 3 wires underground in the district bound ed by Selby and Portland avenues, Dale and Victoria streets,' was returned from the corporation attorney, with a state ment that the company had no authority from the council to put up any poles or wires in the district mentioned. Under this explanation the resolution was laid over. Eight application? from the com pany to erect poles and wires on other streets were also laid over until the rights of the company to use any of the streets for new lines are passed upon by the courts. AT LAFAYETTE SCHOOL. Schubert Club Gave a Recital Laxt Night. The Schubert club, under the auspices of the Woman's Civic league, gave a Christmas programme last evening at the Lafayette school. The cozy kindergarten room with its decoration of flags and cut flowers was filled with an appreciative audience, the greater number of which, perhaps, did not understand the Knglish language as well as it did understand the universal language of music, and ap plp.udcd vigorously. Mrs Russell R. Doir had charge of the programme, playing the accompaniments and an open, ing solo besides. J. Warren Taylor sang Hastings "My Love Is Like the Red, Red Rose" and Abt's "Sleep Well.

St. Paul Has Been Using: the Foreign Article Lately. "I think the weather tonight will add about four inches to the ice," said a lo cal ice dealer last night. "If this keeps on we can soon begin to cut Ice for use and not have to depend on Minneapolis for our supply." Further conversation brought out the fact that for several weeks past the sup ply of Ice in St. Paul had been exhausted, and the dealers were obliged to pur chase ice from Minneapolis companies.
