How he Put on Gloves for the
Prince of Wales

days ago while EN- route to join his
prOtege, Slade, and chatte1 freely
with Times reporter. who met
him at "Parson" Davies saloon.
He was sitting at table explaining
to a crowd of his admirers how and
when he had received the belts dis
played before him.
A hale, robust, active man, Jem
Mace, sat, laughed and talked and
slipped his wine. Pm fifty-two years
ofage, weigh 200 pounds and feel
strong as a lion, he said, and his ap-
pearance bore out his words. No l
shall never enter the ring again, he
said. Thirty-four years of fighting
have been enough for me. 1 began
when was eighteen years old, and
I've had all / want of it.
Pretty good man vet, arn't you ?
You look it, raively led on the inter-
viewer.
Yes, / guess / am. feel it. l be-
lieve / could do more with him than
any of 'em.
Who's him ?
Sullivan. / think / could give
him better set-to than any of them,
old as now am. / don't say 1 could
beat him, but ! think l could stop
him little longer than the rest.
Do you consider Sullivan the best
man in the world to-day?
Well hesitaingly replied the veter-
an thumper, he's about the only one.
He's got the name, and-well, he's
proved himself to be the best.
Would you like to meet him?
No,Pn meet none of 'em. He's q
stout, young fellow, and I'm an old
man.
There was a jealous look stealing
over the swarthy face of the veteran,
speaking as plainly as words: If I
only had twenty years taken off this
aging Drawn and muscle.
The last fight / had with Belcher,
in New Zealand, you know. I beat
him, of course knocked fhe life out
of him, and in three rounds. That
was nine or ten months ago. Oh yes
he resumed, after a pause and the
Interpolation of a question, I have
fought over a hundred battles in the
ring and with the gloves. Profitable {?
Well, I've made three fortunes out of
it.
Prize fighting is losing its prestige,
isn't it? 1t isn't what it used to be /?
Well. / tell you they'll either stop
or allow it. The Prince of Wales
told me that when he should be king
of old England he would allow it, as
he thought it manly sport. / put on
the gloves for his highness several
times, one when the gymnasium was
opened on St. James street in London.
Do you know when that was Harry.
Harry Montague stepped out and,
precise as mortuary record, said {:
In June, 1883 There was Jem. Nat
Langham, Johnny Walker, who licked
Sayers. Alex Kean, Prof. Jones and
little Billy Shop. Mace knocked out
Langham, and Kean did up Johnny
Walker. Then the prince asked if
Mace would give another set.to, and
Jem and Kean had it, Jem getting
the best of it. Kean attempted to
take liberty with Mace, and as a
consequence he left the princely pres
ence with a black eye.

Oh, there are hundreds of 'em, but,

states, but neither can tell us what
the ruling price will be for cotton or
corn, or wheat, or pork. or beef cattle.
That is settled in New York and Chi
cago. Neither the weather nor
providence has anything to do with
it. see by the papers that they
are fixing up another big corner on
wheat in Chicago, and they have al.
ready got their agents all over the
northwest buying it up at a low price,
and they will hold it for a high price.
Wheat never advances much until
the rascals have brought the most
of it-nor until they have bought all
that the average poor farmer has to
sell. That is just what is the matter
with our people. Both the farmer
and the average consumer are alike
the victims of the SPECTATOR. The
farmer has to sell too low and the
consumer buy too high. There is no
general average-no uniformity. Rich
farmers who can afford to hold,
seem to like these corners pretty we'll.
They get a big price by holding and
waiting for the Chicago bulls. But
the masses of. farmers that have to
sell soon after the harvest, and the
masses of the laborers and mechanics

which, [ suppose, puts them in a
better condition to perish after q
while, when the price in doubled.
Figures don't lie. and the figures say
that in 1879 most of the wheat was
sold by farmers at IS cents, and after
the Chicago bulls had bought it they
ran it up to S1.33. In 1881 it was
sold for IS cents. and the bulls ran
it up to <l.45. When they had
bought all they could they blockaded
the elevators and the railroads with it

it's bead and put that in just as the
deacon's hired man came TO take the
bag over 10 the sOciable. Me and my
chum went down to his house and
waited till the people got over to the
sociable and then we went over and
got up in tree where We could see
through the open window, and hear all
that was going on. Pa he stood over
by the bag and shouted, Ten cents a
grab don't let anybody be backward
in a good cause. Three or four had
put up their ten cents and made q
grab, when an old maid from Oshkosh,
who had been to the springs for hys
terics, got in her work on the collar
box. When she got the cover oil. one
of the mice that knew his business,
jumped ON her shoulder and crawled
down her neck, and the other dropped

thought it was another attack of hys.
terics, and pa and the deacon got her
on the sofi and held her while they
poured paregoric and cayenne pep.
per down her, when she got loose
she screamed all the harder. Then
one of the other women see the mouse
and get up in the chair and shook
her skirts and asked the new young
minister to help her catch the mouse.
The poor fellow looked as though he
would like to, but he failed. Just
then the bottom of the chair broke
and let her fall over on ma and tore
her bangs all down. Ma called her q
hateful thing and told her she ought
to be ashamed of herself. Finally
they got things in order, but no one
wanted to tackle the bag, and as here
was where the por6ts come in, pa brac-
ed up and said he'd like to know why
everybody acted so spicious, bed like
to see a grab bag that would give
him the Mysteries, and said women
are always getting scared at nothin.
He then put down ten cents and jam
med his hand way down in the bot
tom of the bag, but he didn't keep it
long. He give a jump and yanked
his hand out yelling thunder r Then
he swung it over his head to shake, il
of, and broughtit down on the deacon
head and smashed his specs. Then
he swung it the other way, and struck
the woman president of the sewing
society in the stomach and knocked
her down in the deaconis lap. After
pa had hollered himself hoarse, and
thumped half the people in the room.

lick the man that put that steel trap
in the grab-bag. Then pa and ma got
mad, and everybody began to jaw,
and they all went home. There's
been a sort of GOODNESS among the
members ever since. l guess pa won't
have a hump backed boy, but I'll get
even with him, you just see if /
don't.
And the boy went out and took q
sign, Warranted Fresh, from the
fruit stand and hung it on a blind
horse that was hitched to a garbage
wagon in front of the store.

The Chinese restriction act re-
ceived q stunning blow from the
late decision of Judge Nelson in the
u. S. Circuit Court of Massachu-
sets. He decided that Cinnamon
from Hong Kong, city under the
dominion Of the British Empire,
aud who were never subjects of the
Chinese Empire, are not Included in
the restriction act. AS there are
thousands Of this class of Cinnamon
under The British rule in Asia, this
decision Will open up the floodgates
of Chinese immigration in spite OF
the strict provisions Of the law in
tended to prohibit the same. The
object of tho law was to prohibit the
competition Of the cheap Chinese
labor with that Of white men, and it
received the unanimous approval OF
this Coast. 1t is absurd TO establish
a tariff to protect labor, and at the
same time By importing a hord OF
SORTS to undermine that labor.

When Australia was first discovered by
the English, as many strange stories were
told about the wonderful things to be
found there as We used to hear in the early
DAYS Of California. Among other things
1t was said that the leaves of certain tsce
had habit of descending from their proper
place aud walking along the ground.
A party Of English sailors had len their
ship to roam along the cons, and "sce what
they could see," They were resting under a
tree, lying on their backs, probably, and
naturally gazing upward, when u sudden
breeze shook down a number of leaves,
which turned somersaults In tho air after
the manner OF leaves generally, and then
iloated to the ground, The sailcrs were
surprised at this shower, because Il was not
tho TALL Of the year but midsummer, and
these falling leaves looked fresh aud green.
1t was strange TO see leaves deserving the
tree without any sort OF reason; but this
was nothing TO what followed.
After short rest these able, bodied leaves
began crawling along tho ground toward
the trunk Of the tree from which they
came, and the amazed sailors started up In
terror. They probably knew from expert,
ence that people who come In contact with
the ground may also expect to come In con,

the leaves do to the dull brown produced
by frost. Another popularity of these leai
insects is that, although they have a
generous supply of wings, they seldom use
them, but when they have been shaken to
the ground, after lying there for a few mo-
ments, as If they were really leaves, they
crawl towards the tree, and ascend the
