Death from Brutal Prize Fight.

A brutal prize fight occurred in St.
Louis saloon the other night. which has
resulted in the death Of one of the parti-
cipants. Thomas Z. Jackson, we'll known
i'll prize fighting circles, was the victim.
He was only eighteen years of age. Jack
son fought with Ed Ahearn, the local light
weight champion, eleven bloody rounds.
and at the opening of the twelfth fell
fainting into his seconds arms. The
fight throughout was one of the most
desperate battles ever witnessed in the
ring, science being lost sight of, and give
nnd-take smuggling marked it throughout.
When jackson fell unconscious he was
carried to a room above the saloon and
three physicians called in. They worked
vigorously, but without avail, and jackson
died after several hours. The chief of po-
lice ordered the arrest Of all parties con-
cerned in the affair. Prominent people
will likely become involved. he referee
was the sporting editor of one Of the lead
ing morning papers. Ahearn is gasftter
by occupation and a fighter by inclination.
jackson was known in sporting circles as
Jack King, and his parents were ignorant
of his pugilistic ambition

Evading the Restriction Laws.

Five Chinese attempted to cross the
American line at Tia Juana the other day,
but two were caught and turned back.
The other three eluded the officers and
took a train for San Diego. CAL, where
they were promptly arrested. They are
supposed to be members of gang Of
Chinese laborers taken from San Fran
cisco some weeks since to develop the
Real Deal Castillo mining district. They
had the boldness to come up the regular
routes of travel. Opportunities for Chin
csc to pass freely between the two coun-
tries are not lacking. With the present
force it is impossible to guard more than
the principal highways, leaving hundreds
of miles of frontier crossed by numerous
trains and leaving number Of inhabited
ranches entirely unprotected.

"A Close Election.

Judge Prendergast, of the county court
in Chicago, ordered that complaints be
made out for the arrest Of James Ruxton,
one OF the aldermanic candidates in a re-
cent election. The vote in his ward was a
tic, and it was found he had put two bal
lots in the box. Ruxton was arranged,
but got off OIL a plea that if there had been
any intention to do fine work" he would
not have been SO lacking i'll sharpness as
to attempt it with his own ballot. The
two candidates then drew lots for Office
and Kelly, the opponent of Ruxton, won.

A Swedish Anniversary,

All over the United State citizens of
Swedish birth and parentage celebrated the
l4th. Just $50 years ago, on September
II, 1899, the first Swedish colony sailed up
the Delaware river and landed at point
on the Jersey shore. These earliest Swed-
ish settlers in America came to this coun
try as result OF the encouragement given
their plans by the great champion of PROT
estantism. King Gustavus Adolphus. al
though their coming had been delayed IN
til after this monarch's death In Chicago
the celebrations were under the auspices of
the Swedish democratic club, which has a
membership of 300 wealthy men and
which during the last eighteen months has
been instrumental in giving the United
States more new citizens than any other
political organization in the CITY. In
nearly all the large cities the day was ap
propriately observed.

One High Jumper Less,

Harry Howard, otherwise known as
Prof. Peynaua. jumped from tower $50
feet high at Montreal, Canada. in the
presence of 1900 people. At the foot of
the tower netting was stretched and UNDER
meath the netting was q heavy canvas held
by ten men. Peynaud went to the top of
the tower, placed his hands close to his
side and jumped, at the same time shout
ing to the men to keep good hold of the
the canvas. Not being used to the work,
several of the men let go and started off
on the run. Peynaud went through the
ropes with crash, picked himself up and
started to walk away. A moment later
and he fell in faint. 1t was found that
one arm and five ribs had been broken,
and he had sustained internal injuries.
The authorities say it will be impossible
for him to recover.

Chicago River Too Strong for Fish,

Three large fish of the Sucker" variety
got lost in great city the other dav, and
came to grief. They were evidently on q
voyage of discovery around the lakes. and
when they reached the Chicago river they
intended seeing what it was like. The
northerly wind had raised the water foot
or more and there was good current up
the river. The visitors started gayly up
the stream. They knew not what thew
did. The water they soon found was bad,
and the farther they got the worse it be-
came. Still they struggled bravely on un-
til they reached Madison street bridge.
There they came to the surface and wig
gled around in faint, disheartened way.

Pearl Of Days.

"You would not think" the preacher
said, "if you should 60 to the markets
and exchanges tomorrow, where men
lay traps for each other, that they had
met each other in church OH Sunday
and talked to each other of the most
holy faith. Trade in this way seeks
TO conspire against Almighty God"
"rhousands of men in this town
can't wait for Monday; so they adver-
lisc, their wares on Sunday, and then
go to church, sit in the highest-priced
pews, while the poor children, who
ought to be in the house of God and in
Sunday-school, are hawking their
wares about the streets in the newspa-
pers."
You say we must prepare for Mon
day,n he continued. "The best way
TO brace up for Monday is not to think
of it on Sunday. People sit in our
churches, and while the preacher is
trying TO instil truth into their minds
pile the church interior up to the lofty
ceiling with their bales and boxes of

Flies and Wolves.

When visiting friend last summer
he called my attention to a curious
plan for preventing the plague of flies
in his house. The upper sash of one
of the windows in his sitting-room be-
ing open for ventilation, there was sus-
pended outside piece of common
fishing-net. My friend told me that
not fly would venture to pass
through it. He has watched for an
hour at time, and seen swarms fly to
within Il few inches of the net, and
then, after buzzing about for a little,
depart. He told ME the flies would
pass through the net if there was a
through light-that is, another win
dow in the opposite wall. Though the
day was very warm, / did not see a
single fly in the room during my visit,
though elsewhere in the town they
were to be seen in abundance. I sup
pose they imagine the net to be a
SPIDERS web, or some other trap in
tended for their destruction.
My friend mentioned the curious
fact that in Russia no wolves will pass
under telegraph wires, and that the
government are utilizing this valuable
discovery, and already clearing dis
tricts of the country from the Sc brutes

A WORD TO PLANTERs.-Now is the
time to display your good judgment, if
YOU desire to be successful. Select
your land for tobacco crop with care /;
plant no land in tobacco that is not
adapted to it's proper growth be very
careful at this point; do not plant any
land in tobacco merely to square up
your field; if the soil is not what it
should be to produce the crop you de-
sire, straighten it out by planting peas
on the Objectionable parts, or some 9th
er crop.
And mark off only so much us you
can manure we'll and cultivate well
and take care of nicely. y man that
overcrops himself does harm, not only
to himself, but to his neighbor and to
his occupation. Any business that is
worth doing at all is worthy of being
well done. Draw in your borders and
bestow all the attention and labor on
one acre of land that you have hereto
fore been putting on one acre and Il
half. You try to cultivate more land
than you can do ojustice to. Put all the
labor and manure on one acre instead
of one and half and it will give you
as much crop and a great deal better
crop, more money and more satisfac-
ton. These are facts that demand
your serious consideration.

What Converted Him.

Admiral Farragut, one of the naval
heroes in the late war, tells the story of
his boyhood. 1t would be well for all
boys to learn, before the habit becomes
fixed, that there is nothing manly in
initiating the vices of older people.
When I was ten years old [ was with
my father on board man-of-war. l
had some qualities, that, l thought,
made a man Off I could swear like
an old salt, could drink as stiff glass
of grog as if had doubled Cape Horn,
and could smoke like locomotive. l
was great at cards, and fond of gaming
in every shape. At the close of dinner
one day, my father turned everybody
out of the cabin, locked the door, and
said to me:
David, what do you mean to be"
"I mean to follow the sea-"
"Follow the sea! Yes, to be poor,
miserable, drunken sailor before the
mast; be kicked and cuffed about The
world, and die in some fever hospital
in foreign land. No, David; no boy
ever trod the quarterback with such
principles as you have and such habits
as you exhibit. You'll have to change
your whole course of life if you evel
become q man."
NV father left me and went on deck
was stunned by the rebuke, and over
whelmed with modification.
"A poor, miserable, drunken sailor
before the mast. Be kicked and cuflet
about the world, and die in some fever
hospital. That is to be my fate
thought I. II will change my lie
and change it at once. I'll never uttel
another oath; will never drink an
other drop of Intoxicating liquor;
will never gamble" have kept these
three VOWS ever since. Shortly after
Il had made them I became q Chris
tian. That act was the turning point
in my destiny.

Samoa.

The Samoan formerly Navigators'
Islands are lovely oasis in the lonely
waste of the South Pacific. Pictur-
esoue, fertile, resourceful, they have
for q decade allured the eyes of three
great nations, and of these the United
States was the first to embody in a for
NAL treaty reciprocal interest and at
tachment. 1t was in 1878 that the adj
ministration of President Hayes made
a treaty with King Malietoa, which
guaranteed to us the privileges which
we desired, and to him the recognition
which he was sanguine enough to re-
gard as the pledge Of his stability. AT
the beginning of the following year he
entered into a commercial convention
with Germany, and six months later
bound himself by singular instru'
ment to England. The new zeal fol
colonizing with which the German
people were inspired, found one OF Its
earliest outlets in Samoa, and subse-
uuent events lead inevitably to the
conclusion that Prince Bismarck de-
aigned his compact with Malietoa to
bear such fruitage as that blameless
king had never dreamed Of, A Ger
man trading-house had already acqulr'
ed such q foothold in the islands as to
serve the purposes of diplomacy when
ever the time seemed ripe, through the
public pretence Of vested rights. In
1884 Prince Bismarck conceived that
the moment had arrived for the appii-
cation of firm, but gentle pressure
and the Samoan King put his name tc
a treaty which he almost Immediately
repudiated as having been signed un
der duress, and which England anc
the United States refused to consider
binding. Two years later the Soutl
Pacific delimitation treaty between
England and Germany declared Sa
moa neutral territory, but in the inter
val the German consular, and mercan
tile agents began line of conduct
which aroused the fears and susceptl'
bilities of the Samoans, and grossly
outraged the dignity of their king; sc
that when in the spring of 1856 Ger
man squadron steamed into the harbol
of Apia, no one was surprised, and
least of all Tamasese, who had been
incited to rebellion by DIR. Stuebel, the
German consul, and Mr.. Weber, the
German tradesman. This parade OF
power was not the first overt act, but il
was the most imposing demonstration
in the long series of outrages which
have resulted in the capture and de-
portation of King Malietoa by Germa
ny and in devastating civil war.
