The young married couple who are crown
ed with good health are really a king und ers'
queen. They arc possessed of an armor that a
enables them to withstand all the hardships
and misfortunes of life. Accidents aside , by b.
they will live long , happy lives of mutual
helpfulness , and they will be blessed with
amiable , healthy children. They will ait and
together in the twilight of old oge and look ns
back without regret over a mutually happy ,
helpful , useful , successful companionship.
There are thousands of young couples
every day who start wedded life with but
one drawback. one or the other , or both , to
Buffer from ill-health. There can be no true
wedded happiness that is overshadowed by
the black cloud of physical suffering. The
man who contemplates matrimony , and re
alizes that through overwork or worry or
neglect , be is suffering from ill-health ,
should take the proper steps to remedy it
before he assumes the responsibilities of a
husband. Dr. Pierce'a Golden Medical Dis the
covery is the best of all medicines for men last
who have neglected their health. It makes
the appetite keen , the digestion perfect , the
liver active , and the blood pure and rich pone
with life-giving elements. It is the great next
blood-maker and flesh-builder. It invigor all
ates and gives virility , strength and vigor.
No woman should wed while she suffers
from weakness and disease in a womanly
way. These are the most disastrous of dis the
orders from which a woman can suffer.
They break down her general health. They
unfit her for wlfehood and motherhood.
They make her a weak , sickly , nervous in

On the next board
Delmar selected a very by
Indifferent variation of the French defense
against Mills. In the courfo of subsequent and
Pvay Delmar lost the o-xchancp nnd the
Englishman should win tomorrow.
Nothing much- can be said about the R.
game between Balrd and I.ocock on the

draw
tomorrow.
On the eighth bowl Jackson outplayed
Young In a French defense adopted by the

LOUISVILLE. Ky.'March IS.-MusIc hall
would not nccommoYIalo the Immense crowd
that assembled tonfftM to witness the
twenty-round glove contest between "Aus
tralian" Jimmy Itynn and Jim Wafrs
( colored ) , champion middleweight of the
south. After 2.GOO people had crowded Into
the building the doors weru closed In the
fnras of several hundred more.
Tno men fought nt catch weights , Ryan
weighed 150 nnd Wutts 15S pounds. It was
a most vicious fight , the Australian winning
In the twentieth round.
Every Indication early In the battle
pointed to n strictly scientific light , but
when the men got their 'blood ' well heated
hard slugging nnd Intermixed hard wres
tling was tha order.
The colored man landed three times to
the Australian's once. The latter proved
himself n perfect glutton for punishment.
Ills only aim was to l.tnd a full rlg.it
arm swing on the negro's jaw nnd In his
extreme eagerness to land this knockout
blow he lowered hU guard to such an ex
tent that the colored tighter was permitted
to land at will , terrifically.
Watts closed Ryan's left eye In the six
teenth round , but this did not diminish the
latter's ardor.
In the twentieth round , during a fierce
short-arm mix , Ryan landed several blows
on Watts' Jaw , causing him to weaken per
ceptibly. A knockout being Imminent , the
referee stopped the fls'iit nt the Instance
of the chief of police 'and tiien gave a de
cision In favor of Ryan.
Watts , still on his feet , expostulated to
the chief , but the latter waved him from
the ring.

I'liiintniiiM.
An Interesting discussion upon happiness
and the mistaken
paths which men pursue
In search of It was given by Dr. > L3 M.
Franklin last night u&Jer the topic , "The
Illusions of Life. "
The message of the discourse WM 'that
happiness lay In the glvlag of life's goada
rather than the taking. In speaking of the
real purpose and goal of life
now and Intlm
past Dr. Franklin said : "The art and litera
ture of any people Is a certain index to Its
philosophy of life. Let Time , that ravaslug
destroyer , wipe out every vcstlgo cf 'the lifp-
hablt and thought tendency of a race save
that which Is preserved In Us Loolw or on ,
Its canvas and it 'Will ha n comparatively
easy matter totell the struggles and destiny
of that people. Just as on the roc.ks Is I
traced . the geological history of the earth BO'
docs ' literal urn and at preserve for tomcr- '
row's scholars the record cf a nfitlon'a life.
"In reading auch records of the past what
strikes the thoughtful man most Is that
through the difference lr ethics , moral. ! nnd
social conditions there runs one supreme ,
converging thought on the supreme purposes
of life and that verdlut reads that all 13 vain
save right and truth. Jn tbo c\irk agc3 , an
evil time when death , grown bolder than Its
wont , laid Its hands on strer. tli , youth ami
beauty , men gave expression the < entl-
mcnts which such conditions aroused within
them In literature and ait. In such nn mc ;
came forth the famous painting , "A Dance
with Death , " which showed the miser offerIng -
Ing his gold In vain , the gambler yielding to I
a player stronger than he , the lover parting
from hU bride to leave their thoughtless
lives at the summons of the destroyer. The
significance of the picture was that all am
bition , all love and passion for earthly
things , arc empty and vain. It shows the J
hollowness of things for which men strive
with might and main , vlillp 'they pas.i heed
lessly by those that contain real happiness.
"Men who seek happiness In worldly
wealth , selfish pleasures and unshared J cry is
will find like Soloman that In them all Is
vanity and vexation of spirit. Such a man
as Soloman , capable of hUh literary work ,
ofwl directing monstrous political adventures ,
with wealth and the admiration ot men ,
finally felt the emptiness of It all. At the
end of hla career , for which most men would
offer up their lives , he said that all he had
known was vanity and vexation. lie U but
ono -countless other men who think they
are reaching the real sweetness of life only
to find at the end that they have been Danc
ing to music played by the liar * ! of death.
"U seems that this lesson must come
home to each one by experience , and It Is of
no avail that at the end of each life U added
link -to a chain of evidence that has been
forging ever since the world began. Wo fall
realize the truth of It until the candle la
our own hands begins to nicker an ! some
final gust blows U out. In Die end we- would
sacrifice anything to retrace mistaken step * ,
but neither bribes nor nravfrs can turn
dMtb from Its purpose. 'Money ' can buy th
skill of the Buluntlat and the genius of the
physician , but It canrvrt govern the action
the consumption germ or bring to a pause
the on coming feebleness of age.onio ' at
the close of life try to fool God as they have
cheated themselves during life and make
post mortem philanthropic bcqueata. There
can bo no charity In this , for the only true
charity Involves gelf-sacrlflce.
"All men finally realize these truth * , some
times when 'the sun of , their lives is not yet
far abo\o the horUrm and ofttn not until
Ilia fall of night. Why then shoulJ wu delay
and defer our chance of happiness until It Is
too late for our soul's awakening ? Must wo
watt , like King Solomon , until death to
learn that the race In- not to the swift nor
the battle to the strong ? That true happi
ness must not be bought by the taking , but.
