As to the Journal's remark that the charge of misdoing was most effectually disposed of by the fact that two Democratic members of the finance committee testified to the falsity of the charge, that is answered emphatically by the mere statement of the fact that dozens of Republicans, against the almost prayerful plea of Leader Beard, declared that the charges were well founded by voting with those who made the- charges.

We do not know what may happen, but we should not be surprised to witness before the present sessiou is over an even more practical confession of mismanagement in State affairs than that already shown in the fear to hold an investigation. The Legislature dares not adjourn without making some provision against a continuance of the more flagrant jobbery and misdoing now so well understood by all who have watched proceedings since the charges were first made. of Base Ball Goisip and Gotsip Every performing its duties.

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT. (The tditor of THE GLOBE neither prints rur answers comrnunicati'jns that do not bar the true signatures of the writers. The Sons of St. Ceorge. To the Editor of The Globe: In the editorial columns of the Pilot last week it was stated that we are to have in America a new political society called The Sons of St.

GeorgB. As the order named has been in existence for over thirteen years in this country, it cannot be called "new." It is further stated that the purpose of the "conspiracy" is directly anti-Irish, and no longer exists on a religions ground. Someone must have been heaving the worthy editor of the Pilot, for. instead of being a "con-piracy." this order is composed of Englishmen, their sons and grandsons, organized as a benefit society, to aid each other in sickness and death. Ireland and Irish affairs arc no more to us than Germans.

French or Italians, as both religious and political affairs strictly forbidden in ourcoiKtitutioii. The editorial farther states thut name our lodge after Garfield and Blaine. We have no iodgt.s named after Blaine, as pur constitution forbids naming a todge after tiny living person.

Further action was deferred until next Wednesday evening, when rules will be adopted and a made out.

THE MI3EEPEESENTEES. The wounded bird flutters. The bare Statement of the fact that the most fanatical Prohibitionist in Massachusetts, Henry Faxos of Quincy, is among the leading advocates of the metropolitan police commission, causes violent agitation among partisans of that movement who are attempting to conceal their true intent. They realize that their only chance of getting the bill through lies in deceiving the public concerning it. To have it frenerally known tliat the Prohibitionists are even more interested than those who favor the bill simply as a measure to deprive Boston of the privilege of managing its own affairs would be fatal to the the Worcesters, to play second ruth the remainder of the season.

The Brockton City series of games in the Massachusetts League is finished, now that the Paris tesjm has been ithdrawn. THE AMERICA'S CHAXCF.S, General Butler Willing to Water that She an OutaaU Any Yacht In the Wsn-lsl- "There is nothing of particular interest to be said supplementary to my letter to the commodore of the New York Yacht Club, already published, relative to the forthcoming race for the Queen's cup," said General Butler to a Ilobk reporter yesterday. "The America won the cup originally and I think she should have an opportunity to defend her honors. They have constructed some sort of a machine abroad, 81 feet long, lo feet wide, and drawing 16 feet of water, which they expect will carry off the trophy. Thev might just as well sail a shingle.

A trial between the America and vessels constructed after the ideas of modem naval architecture will show, too, whether recent improvements have added anything to the speed oi sailing vessels. I have never met a vessel surpassing the America in speed, and while I am not a betting man. 1 will wager a reasonable sum that she can outsail any yacht in the world under the rules of- the New. York Yacht Club. That is a standing offer and I shall lie glad to accommodate anybody who think they have a yacht that can beat her." DK1VHVOI 1 OF TAMMANY HALE Sluggers Whose Bloody Work Tires Out the l'ntienee of the Police.

New York, March 19. Three thousand men were tinned out of Tammany Hall to, inght by the order of Police Inspector Murray, whose patience was sorely tried while' keeping order at the worst managed public hibition of boxing that ever took place iu this city. It was the occasion of the amateur boxing and wrestling com petitions held under the auspices of the Pastime Athletic Club to decide the New-York Suite championships. The first competitions were the trial heats in the Bautine weight boxing for those under 105 pounds. William Kenny (P.

AC.) and James Crawford of New Y'ork went to work, and the tirst buckle Crawford hit Keimey a savage blow on the ribs and received in return a right-handed cross-couuter on the jaw that knocked him Hat on his back. The judges looked at Inspector Murray and promptly decided Kcnnev the winner of the bout, Then Willi Haas (P. A. VY.Hal-lenbeck fought two savage rounds. In the fiist HaUenbeck knocked Haas groggy, but the latter reeovercd am! ent at his man in the second round and won the bout.

In the trial heats in the feather-weight boxtam Charles Ellingsworth ing. who nas inese nwiimiw makejtp and is blessed with good health. It has been urged that this profession is unhealthy that bankers load a cramped, confined life, and that their work is irregular. That the wort is spasmodical and irregular is true. but bank officers have more time for leisure.

than most merchants have, and If they take advantage of these leisure hours, throwing aside every though, of investments and rates of interest while thev are out of the bank, the health should experience no serious injury borne banks have in times of pressure done their business with too small a staff; but this does not pav in the end it is poor economy. That bank moves along the best in hich the higher officers and subordinates are on the best of terms. Cashiers shouid give the men under them every possible chance for learning all the details of the business. Higher officers do wrong in not being willing to receive suggestions from those under them. In the discharge of bank duties no time Bhould be wasted.

Iea Rcssell of this State, in a paper read before the Medico-Legal Society of New York a few days ago, made the somewhat remarkable statement that the majority of cases of insanity were among those persons whose daily occupations did not require much- thought. This is quite contrary to the general belief. It has always been maintained that much the larger pro- What One Man Tells Another Man Is, after all. the beat advertising any bosh ness can get. Every one who came to us on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday must certainly have told the same story to their friends, for on Thursday our store was crowded again with anxious purchasers of the Knowles Leland stock.

We cannot attribute this entirely to ournewspaperadrer-rising, because we have made no strong statement and have qcotbo no pricks. We simply noted the fact that Knowles Leland had entrusted to us for sale at retail their magnificent wholesale stock of Men's, Youths' and Clothing, and that to turn it quickly into cash we had "put the knife into marking it at prices never before thought of. This is all we said and just what we did, and now the people are coming for that stock in a manner quite wonderful to behold.

It was just thirty-two minutes past 11 o'clock tonight when the TauntonS won the deciding goal in the New England League game with the Brock tons, at the Crescent rink. Ow iug to some trouble the game did not commence until 10.17 o'clock, and then an hour and a quarter of first class heavy hitting and slugging followed. First poal was the only polo played during the game, because after one goal had been won the excitement was at fever heat and it was an interesting rough and tumble to finish.

During the second gyal Person Brockton's cover point, got a bad knock, hack of the right ear, front which he did not entirely recover during the game, but acted dazed and. weak and as of no use to the team. Added to this. Referee George A. Clark of Waltham was very unfortunate in his decisions.

Several fouls occurred and were claimed by Brocktous, but not allowed; while the third goal was got by the kick of a Taunton player. So great was the indignation of the audience that it was some minutes before time could be announced. The Tauntons won second, third and fifth goals in 12, 8 and minutes respectively. The Brocktous took the others in 2 and IS minutes respectively. Bay States Woburns, O.

In the Massachusetts League the Bay States and the Woburns played at Chelsea last evening, and the Bay States were the victors by three straight goals. Charlie O'Malley of Gloucester was the referee. The first rush was taken by Pierce of the Woburns. and for eight minutes a very pretty eshibitiou of polo was given. The Woburns played a very strong game, and Riley of the Bay States' goal was given considerable work.

Flanders made a number of lus old-time rushes, and was ably backed up. Kirk was made to do considerable work at his end also. At last Foye sent the ball for goal Kirk stopped it, and fell down, and Foye hooked it in; time, 8 minutes. The second rush was taken by Keen, nud in one minute the ball was airain nou-resident9 to aid- and comfort the from pursuits that overtax the brain. In Answer to the "Kissing Conundrum."

John'. should not be attended to during these hours. Be on hand when the bank opens and leave as soon after it closes as is possible without leaving, work undone. All bankers and their employes should be as accommodating as possible and should keep themselves well informed and be willing to give advice. In the show ing of favors there is an excellent chance for the use of common sense.

As bank officers deal In other people's money and are thrown into the best business society, they should cultivate, in their out-of-bank lite, the best company and the best amusements, thereby Imihling up a character that is not a dia- metropolis of the State. But Boston has asked for no interference with her Internal affairs she is amply able to speak for herself when she desires the assistance of philanthropists of the Faxon stripe. To ssiy that Boston has not the intelligence and the will to regulate her own immediate concerns is an insult to ber citizens. If there are evils here, boston people are quite as capable and The fart and furious fashion of city social and business life has been accredited with the alarming and constant increase of insanity. But it appears that a large proportion of the patients in our Institutions for the care of these unfortunate people come from agricultural districts where people are generally more temperate ahd lead quiet and uneventful lives.

Just as time was eallcd Fernandez dealt Ellingsworth a straight left-hander on the chin that made him groggy, and he nearly fell tm-ough the ropes. In the second round Ellingsworth was the stronger, but was scut to the floor like a log from a swinging right-hander under the ear.

Withdrawal of the Paris Team. The Paris rink management has withdrawn its team from the Massachusetts League.

The club is now fourth in the series, with fourteen defeats and eleven viitories.

Their protest that the municipal police would not introduce an outside power is too weak to deserve attention. The source of the power would be the governor of the State, and to him the commissioners would look for approval regardless of the local desires and Interests of the citizens. To their maker they would "bend the pregnant hinges of the knee." Boston is not willing that its local concerns should be domineered over in that way, whether by Prohibitionists or others. Nor do we believe that members of the Legislature will force such a condition 'things upon her.

All that the people of Boston desire is that the members of the Great and General Court will ask themselves how they would lie it the same meddlesome attempts ere made to deprive the towns they represent of the right to control their own local affairs.

When was it ever necessary for a party having siiiiiost a two-thirds majority in the legislature to bold a caucus of three hours' duration for the purpose of forcing through an honest aieusnre, approved of by the party leaden? Republicans by the dozen knew that there was-soihetbing rotten in Denmark, or a majority in the House would never have placed themselves on record, as they did on Friday, in demanding that the charges should be Inquired into and abuses corrected. Would it have required a three-hours' application of the party lash to drive them to repudiate their own vote for honesty had thera not been misdoings to cover Every member who had looked over the figures knew t'ust. there hc.i been corruption, none knew it hot Olive Branch Lodge of Odd Fellows.

At 12 o'clock today, people gathered at Sportsmen Park to witness the hard-glove fight between lack Demntey, the champion light-weight, and George Bixamos, a local middle-weight Bi tamos has a better reputation as a wrestler than as a sparrer. ne possesses great strength aud endurance, and is know as a fair lighter, but has little science, eon-sequeutly the odds were all in IX'inpsey's favor. The betting on the latter was 2 to 1 when the men stripped for the firlit. ami the disparity In weight appeared greater than it reallv was, Bixamos weighing 100 pounds and Deinpsey 1M5.

The Frenchirun towered above his antagonist and the muscles stood )Ut on his arms and in great knots. Dempsey was in excellent trim and presented the appearance of a wicked fighter. He forced the lighting from the start and had the beat of it all through after the first round. In the first round Dcnitisey showed himself mnch the quicker hitter of the two, and landed a number of heavy blows on Bixamos' head and body. Tho hitter countered with spirit, each rally ending in tlie clinching of the men and some short exchanges before they could be separated.
