CIIICMOO , III. , Dec. U3.-Tomtny Ilyan Is
f till the champion welterweight of the world.
Ho retains this title after a fourtenn-round
fight with Frank Howson of Sbofllold , Eng
land , fought near this city this morning.
From a professional and sciontlflo stand
point , the contest was a beauty. After the
third round , parries , duciis'and counters
were too thick to cause comment. The
battle was romarttablo for Its fairness.
Not n call of foul was made , not an
advantage token nnd not an angry
word passed between the contestants. Hynn
emerged from the fight unscathed , whllo his
opponent has ono eye nearly knocked out and
ono cheek laid open. Howson , Whllo quick
ns n eat , was unablu to bit hard , and showed
the bad effects of too much training. Hyan
displayed by far the best generalship.
The fight was for $1,000 a side and the
welterweight championship and was witness
ed by about ! )00 ) pooplo. Hyan. was the
favorite. Oeorco Silver was roforoo. Harry
Gllmoro and Toinmy Whlto were Howson's
noconds , while Jim Manning of Buffalo nnd
Henry Baker , the champion hoavyweleht
of Michigan , acted for Kyan. Queonsberry
rnlns jrovcrnod ityan'a weight was 185 and
that of the Englishman 180 .
lluwtliu 1'lulit Wont ,
Tirao was called at 2:34 : , and after sparring
for an opening Howson got In a righthander
on Kyan's nock that jarred him for a
moment. The round ended with a severe
loft uppcrcut on the Englishman.
In the second round Hnwson received a severe -
voro blow on the check from Kynn's loft nnd
countered on Ryan's ribs. Hyan gave his
opponent two moro blows on the ribs , nnd as
time was celled Howson scouiod winded.
The third nnd rourth rounds wore practically
the same as the second.
In the rtfth round Hynn came up fresh ana
sent the Englishman to the ropes with a hard
lefthander. Three moro blows on Howson's
ribs closed the round.
In the sixth round Howson used his left
nnd followed with his right on Hyan's ribs.
The latter returned the compliment with a
blow that closed the Englishman's loft oyo.
In the seventh and eighth Kyan placed sev
eral short-arm lefts on Howsou'a game eye
und sent him to his seat with several hard
body blows , receiving ono good rib-roaster
himself. Nothing was accomplished in the
ninth.-
In tho- tenth , evidently thinking his oppo
nent was getting tired , the Englishman
nturtod In with both bauds , but received a
blow on the cheek that brought first blood.
Given Ills Conge.
During the next three rounds Kyan planted
blow after blow on his opponent's now badly
damaged loft eye and lacerated check. When
the thirteenth round closed Howson's eye was
entirely closed.
In the last round , after Kyan had rccoivod
a couple of right hand swings on the rlos ho
feinted with his right. A Howson slowly
turned his face to dodco , Kyan gave him a
left swing on the jaw. The Englishman's
eyes rolled up , ho gasped and sunk to the
lloor completely knocked out. Ho was not
rendered insensible , but was so badly jarred
ho could iiot got up and the light was given
to Ryan.
Ryan's next fight will bo In San Francisco
with Danny Ncedham for the championship ,

today publishes the following :
"Up to yesterday morning It looked ns
though the ono-ioaguo twelve-club scheme
would bo a certainty , thanks to some of the
most artistic hypnotism on the part ot a 'dis
interested' gentleman. President Williams
of the Chicago club , howovqr , started east
nnd ho soon removed the charm. Ho arrived
lioro last night and had an extended Inter
view with the \Vagner brothers nnd opened
their eyes to the llttlo game that was being
worked.
"Tho plan of action was practically tbo
finmo as that outlined In President Pholps'
letter , nnd the only wonder Is that anybody ;
should have boon taken in at all. The worlt
was done in sections. First Chris Von Dor
Aho was approached nnd he was assured
that the Wagners and Prince were willing to
quit. Then Mr. vVapnor was assured that
Mr. Williams was ready to retire. And so It
wont , care bolng taken that no two were
operated upon at the same tlmo.
"Tho schojno provided for the retirement
of the Boston and Athletic clubs , the refund
ing to the Chicago Association club all the
money that It had expended and the addition
of Loulsvlllo and St. Louis to the league
circuit. At St , Louis Mr. Von Dor Aho waste
to have tbo privilege nf charging only 'JS cents
nnd ploying Sunday games. In conversation
With n Press reporter last night Mr. Williams
Bald :
" 'The Chicago club did not Join the associa
tion to bo dropped In two months. Wo have
ample funds , nnd , If necessary , wo can
r.tand an extra assessment. Wo do not pro
pose to got out , nnd I don't see how wo can
bo forced out. AU talk about an amalgama
tion between the organizations is bosh. Say
that they did amalgamate ; don't you sup
pose that another association would spring
up ? In Chicago there would bo a club sure ,
and 1 know people who are aching to got u
chance to Ipcate In St. Louis. Of course
there would be another club hero. I tnlnU
whon'tho members of the association nil get
together- and get freed from all hypnotic
Influence , you will find that at least six clubs
will bo against the proposed amalgamation,1 "

The nerve of the manager who advertises
Miss- Lillian Lewis as "tho American Bern-
hardt" Is something magnificent , and ono
can't help wondering who her financial
backer is.
This star opened an engagement nt Boyd's
last nisht with "As in a "Looltlng Glass. "
Thp morale of the play is wholly bad. The
drama is reeking with suggestiveness , not to
mention improprieties openly depleted , and
it hasn't a redeeming ray of goodness.
Miss Lewis has a voluptuous figure , nnd
gowns herself handsomely , but these do not
make an actress. She characterizes Lena
Despard as a cold , coarse adventuress , void
of any refinement , and she Is quite unable to
display u womanly softness to win the sym
pathy of the audlonco in her distress.
Edmund Collier , Arthur Elliott. Walter
Eytlngo , Ralph Boll and Louise Pomeroy
are names not unknown to the theatrical
world , and they gave a support quite equal
to the star's merit.

At 1. o'clock every Sunday nftornooji ft
bnntl of Clirlstlun workon from the Young
Moil's Christina association nml ether
religious organizations' appears at the Douglas
county jail , for the purpose of holding
rollgious services With the prisoners.
"Talto the name of Jesus with you , Child
of sorrow and of woo"woro the lines that
lloatod out through Iron Inttlco work ( hut
covered the windows of the Jail yostordny as
the Uin : man rapped on the door for * urt-
mission.
Organ muslo blended with the
voices , and It was wltli some UilU-
culty that thu reporter hnrtnonlzod the
A\root and sacred sounds wltli the surround-
Ings.
"Coming to church are you I" aslcod First
Asslstunt.Tailor Louis Hnohtno , as ho swung
the door open and Invited the reporter to
stop tu.
About thirty prisoners , ranging from Ifi to
BO , were seated on benches and chairs along
thrco sides of the main assembly room , xvhllo
near the entrance from the hull stood a
handsome now organ , about which a group
of Christian woruors was engaged in amp-
Ing gospel sont's.
'i'ho singing was led by Mr. Hollander of
the Young Men's Christian association , and
Miss Pearl Urldonbccltor played the organ.
The Instrument was purchased for jail use ,
tbo reporter was Informed , through the
eipocinl effort of Mr. iluisonbcuttcl of the
Young Men's Christian association , Mist
Hrldotibockor and others.
All the prisoners were supplied with small
volumes of the "Ooapol SonKs" hymn boolr ,
and they nearly all took part In the smginu.
"Now , will some ono select a songl" said
Mr. Hollander when tboy had finished slug-
lug the 11 rat oiio.
Visibly AfTeototl.
"Sing No. 81 , " suggested a young man ,
who is Is in. Jail for forging his employer's
narao to a 5150 checic.
The sons selected was that sweet and
soothing old hymn beginning , "Son of my
soul , oh tiavlor dear. " The young man who
selected ttio piece sang earnestly with the
rest and appeared to bo creatly pleased with
the music.
Then Mrs. Jardlno , who is a zealous worker
among the prisoners , selected a song , and
after that bad boon sung Mr. Lou Anderson
road a scripture lesson ana talked to the
prisoners for II fteen or twenty minutes.
The expression upon the numerous sln-
stalncd visages of that motley group of cul
prits became an intensely interesting study
during the exorcises. Upon some the words
of spiritual und moral counsel appeared tc
have no more serious effect than the tinkling
of a cow bell , or the patter of the rain upon
tbo window pane. In vicious stupidity and
stubborn indifference they looked on and
scorned to be saying within themselves :
"That may bo all good enough for fine haired
folks , but it don't apply to me. "
The scene was a remarkable one. It was
the coming Into close relation of two ex
tremes of human possibility. The meek and
gentle and cliarltablo element of human llfo
stretching out Its hands to the gtoss and
vicious and defiled. How near thoyweroto
each other and yet what. a chasm between.
In the west wing of the jail another ser
vice , similar to this , was in progress. The
city and United Slates prisoners were In
there , thirty-two of the former and twenty-
four of the latter , in two small apartments ,
connected with their cells.
"Slug number flfiy-nino" called out n ? ray
hairel man in the lower cage ; and then Mr.
A. W. Clark. Mr. God and tha Misses Jessie
and ICatio U Hour led the song , whllo the
prisoners joined in as best they could. The
ploco was called "I niu Coming to
tbo Cross , " and ono could not keep
from speculating as to the kind
'
of a cross some of 'the culprits were hasten
ing toward.
In the upper cage there were olght peni
tentiary convicts who will bo taken to Lin
coln this week , and several others will bo
tried soon for felonious offenses.
Gentle Influence or KcllRlon.
Notwithstanding the general appearance
of depravity upon the faces of the prisoners ,
they all behaved themselves remarkably
well , and some of them appeared to seriously
outer into the spirit of the hour.
At the close of the services several ot the
prisoners stated that they desired to give up
a llfo of sin and try to live honest ,
'Industrious ' lives. ThU statement was the
signal for numerous winks and grimaces
upon the part of the moro hardened and
vicious inmates of the jail , but that had no
discouraging effect upon the good people who
had done their cost to point out a oottor way
to their erring fellow creatures.
Several minutes were spent in the women's '
department , talking to the dozen frail sinners
detained behind prison bars. The mission
aries did not preach so much to tbo women ,
but simply talked to'them Itlndlv , and referred -
forred them to various passages of scripture.
"This is a Kood thing , " said Jailor Horri-
gan as Tun BKU man was about to loavo.
"Tho prisoners seem to enjoy it and I think
that oecnilonnlly there U aomotnlnganM that
helps some of these peonlo. There are a good
many of thorn that appreciate rollgious talker
or Instruction just about as much as an old
fttump would , but it don't do any harm to
shoot It at them , anil It mnv hit some poor
follow who rciilly does Intend to straighten
up when ho gets out of here and live an honest -
