Since he won the Lisle of middleweight
champion of the world seven years ago,
Dempsey has successfully defended the
honor and thus won the sobriquet of the
Nonpareil. Le B1t►ncbe, the l4'lerine,fifteen

only a u• stion of the length of time the eo-

tactics. As the round closed Dempsey went to

she packs and aisles there were strong

removable roof. The somewhat chilly
weather of late led to the place being well
roofed to -night. Under a square of eleotrio
light stood the ring. It was 24 feet equare,
of turf and of river sand, and just loose
enough to be springy. The ropes and
stakes were padded. Four feet from the
ring was another enclosure • with barbed
wire instead of ropes. Between the two
singe were chairs for the seconds and the
wire fenoe ensured the pugilistic pertier
from outside interference. Between the
ring and stands was a sort of excavation in
whioh the preen stands were pieced. No
wires were allowed into the grounde, so the

Robert Fitzaimmone was born in
Helston, Cornwall, England, June 4th,
1862, and is consequently about the acme
age as Dempsoy. His first appearance in
the ' ring was when he won Jem Mane's
middleweight tournament at Timarm,
New Zealand, defeating five men. He de-
feated James Crawford, -bare knuckles,
three rounds ; Jack Murphy, bare
knuckles, eight rounds, and won Jem
Mace's tournament a second time, defeat-,
ing four men. His next appearance was at
Sydney, N. S. W., when be defeated Dick
Sold/ill, amateur. champion ' of . New
Zealand, in four rounds ; defeated Jim
Hall in five rounds for the middle-
weight ohampinnabip of • Aaetralia ;
defeating Starlight, colored middle-
weight champion of Queensland, in
nine rounds ; Professor West in two

weight of New Zsaihnd, in three rounds ;
Bill Stavin, six t•ounile ; Pablo Frank, two
rounds ; Jack Riddle, three rounds ;
Brinemead, two reunite, and Jack Green•
tree, three rounds. He also stopped several
others et sparring exhibitions inside of
four ronnde. Previous to his departure
for America he issued a challenge to fight
any middleweight in Australia for the
championship and a stake of £50 open to
$500 a side. He errived-at San Francisco
seven or eight mouths, ago, and fourteen
days after his arrival knocked out Billy,
McCarthy at San Francieoo in nine
rounds, and later defeated Arthur Upton
in five ronnde at New Orleane. Before
coming theAmerica Fitzsimmors always
fought at 148 pounds, or a little leas. He
has fattened up, however, considerably on'
this continent.

DEMPSEY BORN IN IRELAND
John Dempsey was born at Currag, Ire-
land, 28 years ago. Since his pugilietio
career opened he has fought, 53 battles, six
of which were drewe and one .a- defeat.
Among the notable, victories of• "The Non-
pareil " may be mentioned those over Billy
Dacey, George Fnlljames, Tom Cleary,
Jack Fogarty, Pete McCoy, Dominick
McCaffrey, Dave Crtmpbell and Denny
Kelleher. Dempeey also defeated La
Blanche on March 141h, 1886, after a 13-
rbnnd go which lasted almost an hour.
His drawn battlea were with Derry Force,
Bob Turnbull, Jimmy Ryan, George Wil-
son, Jack Burke and Reddy Gallagher.
His single defeat was by. George La

THE kind of people who take note of
these things say it is no longer the oorreot
thing in oentree of fashion for a gentleman
to lift his hat on meeting a lady friend on
the street. He merely indicates by a
slight gesture of the right hand and a
grecefal inglination of the head that he is
aware ofher presence and wishes to
acquaint ber with the fent that he holds
her in great regard and is at her eervioe.
Tbie, however, is generally taken for what
it is worth. This new style of salutation
is preferable to the old one at this -season of
the year especially. It is said that the
women of ,Me,rienbnrg, Prussia, recently
held a public meeting at whioh they
reeolved to permit and advise .the other sex
no longer to greet them by uncovering their
heads in bad weather, and especially
during the winter season. The movement
has, it is said, spread to other German
cities, and associations have been formed
which, with the proverbial simplicity of
the German tongue, are palled " niohthut-
ebnehmen " societies.
THE Toronto Labor Advocate follows the
action of the TIMES in denouncing the pri-
vate detective businese, a business which is
need as often to shield as to • expose a crim-
inal. Our contemporary says :
Fortunately for Canada, the private detective
curse has not yet assumed its worst form. We
have no Pinkerton thugs, as the plutocracy is
not yet powerful enough to introduce the sys-
tem. But we have private detectives—fellows
who make it their business to act the sneak and
spy upon the private lives and actions of citi-
zens at the bidding of anyone who will pay for
the iufr rmation thus obtained—or the stories
trumped up by the detective. There is no sort
of legitimate reason, for the existence of 1, is
class of parasites, and the whole business ought
to be put a stop to by. law.,, The regular police
and detective force is amply tufinecient foxx the
protection, of the, lives and prom arty of the
people.

Bow Brasil Indians Utilize the Insects'
Wonderful Grip.
Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, coneiderirg the size of
their bodies, and therefore their method
of fighting is by biting, says the New York
Examiner.
They will bite one another and hold on
with a wonderful grip of the jaws, even.
after their legs have been bitten off by
other ants. Sometimes nix or eight ants
will be clinging with a death grip to one
another, making it pecnliar apeotacle, some
with a leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact ie theft the
grip of an ant's jaw is retained even after
the body heti been bitten off and nothing
but the head remains. This knowledge is
possessed by et certain tribe of Indians in
Brazil, who put the ants do a very peculiar
nee. When an Indian gets a gash out in
hie hand, instead of having his hand sewed
together, as physicians do in this country,
he procures five or six large black ante,

Fashionable Coiffures.
The era of smooth hair•dreasing hes
again passed away. The braid is no longer

The hair must look as if burnished, like'
Rosamond's " looks of crisped gold " ; it
must be well brushed, combed and treated
to frequent ebampooingel till each separate
bair is a beautiful deistic thread of silken
softness. and' then it may be arranged ae
carelessly as the most artistic taste could
desire. If -the heir is inclined to straight-
ness it is plaited up finely for dome hours,
or waved with an iron, and then it is Bt to
be arranged. Without being drawn too

let it form a soft loose coil around the

dexterous polls with a coerce comb, and
pin the coil flatly down with shell pine..
The front hair is arranged in a curled and
(usually) pointed bang. A variation of this
style of coiffure is arranged with the coil
slightly below the crown and another juet
forward of it, and in this case the front
hair is often arranged in Pompadour style.

Hugging in Church.
, Sunday evening eervioea in the Church
of Jesus in Montreal are remarkable for
the beenty of "the -musical programme and
always attract large congregations. Young
Protestants have made a habit of.esoorting
their best girl° there after leaving their
own ohnrohe a to hear the musio, end the
eervioea have degenerated ' intc eome-

pis reason for resorting to such drastic
measure° the reotor said that the late
visitors disturbed the regular worahiper.e.
Besides the loud talking Fathor Drum-
mond said he had been informed there
was considerable flirting indulged in and
that young men had even been discovered
with their arms around their fair corn•

the regular worehipern and some severe
steps were necessary to have it stopped.
Good Manners and Good Morass.
We have to fall back at last for the
standard of good manners and good morale
not upon the few, but upon the many.
The masses of the people are unquestion-
ably more critical as to morelity'then any .
exclusive circle ; and as to the essentials—
not the conventionalities—argued manners,
they are to be found more eeonrely
among the many than the few.

value, and a very great value ; they 1urnieh
a part of the education and experience of
social life. Where they happen to be under
the leadership of a really cultivated and
high-minded woman—like the Tete Mre.
John Jacob Astor for instance—they afford
not merely a, school of deportment, •
but of life. , Where they are—as ie
quite as likely—under a very different
style of leadership, the results correspond.
