on his way from Chicago to New York , on
Wednesday afternoon , when a man tapped
hlmjon the shoulder and said to him : "Ah ,
Mr. Ryan ! so you amt going to fight ? " Paddy
began co say be could lick the man who sail
be was not , but before ho got through the cltl
zen had told him that R. K. Foxliad with
drawn the diamond beltWd the 82,500 stake
which ho had put Up to be scientifically
contested for by Paddy Ryan
and Sullivan. At this1 news there was blo '
in Paddy's eye. It gathered there more am
more until noon to-day , when ho struck ou
for Fox's office with Jimmy Patterson. For
was not there , neither was William E. Hard-
Ing. Not oven the diamond belt was there.
It had been neatly packed in a box on Tues
day and shipped to John L. Sullivan in Bos
ton , there to be exhibited. This was
too much , Paddy said. He _ had
broken up housekeeping kn Chicago
and had sacrificed everything to fight
for that belt and boodle. But be said he
knew what he would do. He would telegraph
to Sullivan to hold on to that belt. Then he
would get out an injunction restraining Harry
Hill from turning the $2,500 stake money over
to anyone but the winner in the fight , which ,
he said , must come off. But before he bad
gone far ha met Hill , who told him that the
money had been turned over to Harding

TUB TIlEASt'nr tNQDini COMMISSION.
The treasury inquiry commission of whfeh
Assistant Secretary Faiicblld is president ,
virtually cancels inspection of the Internal
revenue bureau. The result ol the work of
the commission in this bureau is
awaited with much interest ai it is supposed
to give an Indication of tbo policy to bo ob
served in tbo reorganization of other bureaus
of the treasury department , Tbe commission
has virtually decided to make Its recommend
ations in regard to improving the methods of
business and reductions of the force at the
close of their iavestications , In each
bureau before beginning the work in another ,
It if expected that the commission will inves *
tigate the affairs of the sixth auditor's oflico
ossyonaitho secretary dull bavo acted on
their report on the internal revenue bureau.
It is also likely the commission wilt conclude
to recommend a transfer of clerks from the
overcrowded bureau to bureaus where the
clerical force is too small , instead of dismiss
ing the aiipeifluouB clerks in nno bureau nnd
supplying another bureau witl > clerks certified
by tno civil service commission. It is be
lieved , however , that the commission will
report the number of clerks as being on the
wnolo in excess of the needs of tbe service.

in this section are jubilant over the prospects

The pastor ol tbe mm Unristian Church ol

that the theater reeks with moral filth , and
is from first to last an evil place , and the
waltz is "hugging by mueic. " He has not

adverted to the tendency to profanity induced
by going to church nu a slippery day and the
Rodlessness born of woman's vanity indicated
by an nrray of K after bonnets nnd now
