HE WAS TAKEN FOR A YOKEL.

Rx.sOIicItOr General jerks Tells Good
Story on Himself
Ex-Solicitor General George A. jerks
told a good story on himself a couple of
evenings ago.
He stalked into the Seventh Avenue on
his arrival by late train, and took up
position before the desk He was accom-
panied by stout stick, small weather
worn grip and wore slouch hat, muddy
shoes, a storm-beaien overcoat and the char
acteristic hlrsute appendage to his neither
chin in its usual tangled condition, almost
hidden from view in the folds of the Volum-
inous muf1er which encircled his throat
Anyone unacquainted with him would
have taken him for prosperous farmer in
stead of the Solicitor General of the late ad-
ministration. Slowly drawing off his gloves
he affixed his sign.manual to the register,
and then a smile broke softly over his feat
ures as he regarded the clerk whosaW the
SMILE and went him one better.
'I'lI tell you what happened me on the
cars, " said the ex-Solicitor General. 81 was
sitting back in my section, and having
about concluded that was feeling hungry,
called one of the porters and
asked him if he thought I
conld get a sandwich or something of
that kind, to eat. don't know whether he
thought 1 wanted the sandwich to carry
away with me as a souvenir of the trip or
for some other purpose, but he went away,
after regarding me in fashion which sug-
gested to me that he had some doubts as to
my sanity. He came back through the cars
once or twice within the next few minutes,
and I observed that each time he looked at
me as if he had something on his mind of
which he thought 1 could possibly relieve
him. Finally, about when had made up
my mind to make another request concern
ing something to eat, the porter came along
and reaching my section leaned over, and in
a confidential tone, not unmixed with
touch of compassion, said, Think, sab, 20
care go to dollar?
1 told him that was willing to pay that
amount for meal, and 1 never saw mans
face change from an expression of mingled
compassion and contempt as did that
porter's. He bowed and rubbed his hands,
and his ebony face shone with delight at
getting over successfully, what he evidently
had regarded as a hard job. guess he took
me for countryman, who was trying a ride
in Pullman for the first time, and by some
process of mental calculation had arrived at
the conclusion that dollar meal was more
than could stand.

JACKSON AND SULLIVAN.

Great PugiIists.

Some English Authorities Compare the Two
Great PugiIists.
The following are some of the opinions of
the best authorities in England on pugilism re-
garding the merits of John L. Sullivan and
Peter Jackson the colored champion, who are
just now offered phenomenal purses to fight:
Jem Mace, ex-champion, says: II consider
jackson the wonder of the world. Smith was
no match whatever for him. II Sullivan was
in proper condition think he would be the
best man IN a fight to a finish. But he will
hardly ever get in first-claSs fix again, He don't
like work, you know"
John Bull (Chippy Norton): "Well, I backed
Jackson for over Sl.5OO in the Smith affair, but
/ think John L. Sullivan can lick him without
a doubt"
Jack Davis, ex-heavy weight: jackson is
another John L., and the pair ought to make q
splendid go in fair field with no favors."
Parson Davies, Jackson's manager: Peter
would knock Sullivan out in the first round"
Jack BSldock, the prince of seconds: II
would much prefer TO be behind the white man
if had my choice"
Jem Carney was asked what he thought of
the two big fellows, but positively declined to
give any op inion whatever. "All want" said
the lightweight champion of England. sis to
Aulife"'
Jack Harper, one of Smiths seconds: Jack
son is a good boxer, but l think Smith would
defeat him in the old style. Sullivan would be
my favorite against the colored man."
The well-known owner of race horses, Squire
Abingdon, lost many hundred pounds on Smith,
and did not wish to give any opinion of fighters
said he thought Jackson was better man than
Sullivan.

He Had More Trouble in Getting the Gov.
ernOr Than the Criminal.
Detective Sol Coulson arrived in triumph
and Pennsylvania Railroad coach yester-
day, bringing with him Dennis Meagher,
the reouisition for whom he had extracted
from Governor Beaver by an operation
little short of skillful dentistry. When
he first met the Governor he was
still reluctant to give up the papers the bail
piece idea having apparently taken root in
the Gubernatorial brain. Coulson was per-
sistent, the Governor resistant; Coulson
pleaded, the Governor receded. At last the
detective, wearied of his own voice, sus-
pended operations long enough to eatdinner
and renewed the attack afterward, with no
greater success.
He then sought out Secretary of State
Stone, and to him he confded his griev-
ances with an appeal to intercede with the
Chief Executive of the State for the papers.
The Secretary did not hesitate, and meet
ing was held that evening between the
Governor and Messrs. kirkpatrick and
Stone, which lasted until alter midnight,
the Governor finally giving in, and the big
sheet with the big gold seal and the big sig
nature of the Governor of Pennsylvania
attached was given into Coulson's hands.
'You may be sure" said Sol, 'that I
didn't let the grass, which peeps between
the cobblestones of Harrisburg, grow under
my feet, or give the Governor a chance to
repent and take it back from me, got to
New York by the next train, and had no
more trouble with Governor Hill than I
would with Judge GrIpp to make out war
rant. Here is the paper; it is a little one,
and David B. Hills signature is little
one, but guess he is a pretty big man. 1
went to the Tombs and got-my man without
the slightest effort to get writ of habeas
corpus or any other inpediment."
'How would it haYe been if you had
gone with a bail piece only?"
'How? 1 would have been laughed out
of the city of New York by every officer,
from the judge to the court boot-black.

How n Toll Collector Was Taken In on a
Punched Silver Dollar.
One of the toll takers on the Smithfeld
street bridge is looking for slick individ-
ual who passed punched dollar on him
one night last week. 1t was one of those
disagreeable evenings when persons were
scurrying across the bridge, trying to dodge
the gusts of rain which swept up the river.
About o'clock a young man without an
umbrella crossed over from the opposite side
of the approach to the bridge. As he
neared the window he dropped coin on the
ground. He picked it up, and throwing it
down in front of the collector, said: 'You
can wipe it off. Hurry up; want to catch
that car" The collector gave him SO cents
in change, and for few minutes he was so
busy that he could not wipe the mud and
dirt from the silver dollar. When he did
so he found that the coin had hole in it
almost large enough to make an earring for
a FIJI Islander. The young man had care
fully filled the hole with mud, smeared
some around the edge of the coin.

Executive Committee of the California League

land and San Francisco were tied. Oakland
had George Van Haltren, who had been playing
with Stockton. and Fred Carroll, of Sacra-

San Francisco Club. Manager Finn, of the
latter team, would not allow his players to par
ticipate in the game if Van Haltren and Car
roll took part Umpire Sheridan decided the
game forfeited 10 Oakland by 9 to 0. To satisfy
the 20 900 people present the teams, minus the
two players named, played what was announced
as an exhibition game, and Oakland came out
victorious. San Francisco protested Oakland's
right to the Pennant.
1t came out in tine testimony that Carroll had
not been released by Sacramento, as 0akland's
manager understood. The executive commit
tee set aside the umpire's decision declaring the
game forfeited and decided that that was an

known bookmakers who saw the Cal Mccarthy

that Nolan can whip Mccarthy, and they are
willing to back him against the Jerseyman for

g. 500 a side at the Lynch -Flaherty fight, but
when McCarthy's hacker offered to double
them and make 1t s., 900 side and to make the
match on the spot, they dropped their price to

this week.
Good judges of fighters who saw the 90 on
Wednesday night say that it is their opinion
that Nolan can give Mccarthy a great deal
harder and longer fight than he did then. Nc
Carthy is happy at the prospect of another tight
so soon, and he is confident that he can Whip
Nolan in less time than he did before, His
friends will back him to their last cent and if
the bookmakers want to they can make the
match for Sl5, 900 side as easily as they can
for a thousand.

A Red Letter sunday.

Yesterday was the first Sunday upon
record in which no arrests were made in the
Point district and even the redoubtable
TRULY Shaul came off his beat in the Yell

case. This is regarded as the most un-
precedented occurrence in many years in
the police bureau.
