THE WEAK PART
Of a low priced shoe is usually the inner
sole, being covered with muslin or some
lining it is otsecu, and less liable to be
noticed by the buyer. A poor inner sole
lets your shoe come apart when it gets
wet. It cannot be repaired or half-soled
because tbe small pressed pieces and
shoddy it is made of will not bold nails
or pegs. Yon should no more expect to
gather "figs of thistles" than to get your
money's worth from shoddy shoes
We haven't a pair of misses', boys' or

Another Fight In New Orleans Re
voked. New Orleans, Dec. 15. Andy Bowen,
the New Orleans light weight pugilist,
who was knocked unconscious last night
at the Auditoriutnclub In a glove contest
with Kid Lavigne of Saginaw, Mich, in
the 18th round, never regained conscious
ness and died of concussion ot the brain
this morning. Lavigne and bis seconds
and time keeper, consisting of pugilist
Jim Hall, Sam Fitzpatrick, Martin Mur
phy and George Consadine and also
reftree John Duffy were at once placed
under arrest and are now in custody.
The knock-out blow wasthis: Lavigne
ieinted with his right, and as Bowen
ducked, Lavlgne's elbow caught Bo wen's
chin. As Bowen straightened up La-
vigne's right caught him on tbe point ot
the jaw, and Bowen fell back, his head
striking the platform with fnll force.
Bowen was 31 years of age. He was
born in New Orleans and bad lived here
all his life. It is generally believed tW
the fatal outcome of the 6ght will kill

say that a stale of political unrest con

outbreak for seme time. The natives
throughout the whole of the islands ere
busily engaged in making copra. The
oldest residents s.iy they never worked
so hard. They arc not, however, spend
ing a tithe ol what in mev they receive.
so that it is be ieved they are honrding
up for trouble which is expected to again
arise when tliev will be in position to
pay for supplies.
No attempt is being mad.- to enlltct
taies. Tbe Chief Justice is very busy in
finishing up land business. King Malietco
has not received a cent of pay for more
than a year past. The local Gcrmun
residents are very confident tuat either
German nnnexati.m or n protectorate
will shortly be announced. If this takes
place no doubt the internal trouble of
the place would cease, but so would
trade with the Australian colonics.

Washington, Dec. 15. So much has
been said respecting the change of name
of the postoffice at Appomatoz court
bouse, Va., to "Surrender" that an ap
pointment has been made by Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General with Con
gressmnn Tucker of Virginia with a view
of ascertaining the sentiment of tbe peo
ple of that State in respect to the mat
ter. It is probable that the name of
"surrender will nave to be eliminated

title selected for the place.
