OF HONEST JOHN.
Purcell, One of the Best ANA
teur Athletes of the Time.
HE EXCELs AT MANY THINGS.

Malcolm w. Ford Writes About the
Lively IrIshman-He Says He Has Re-
tired for Good, but His Friends Hope
He Hasn't-His Performance.
The picture below shows one of the best
amateur general athletes yet seen in Great
Britain, Canada or America, for the name
of John Purcell is associated with success
full athletic competition in those three
countries. He commenced his athletic
career ten years ago in Ireland, ana up to
1887, when he left there to take up his
abode at San Francisco, Cal, he had won
numerous amateur championships at diff
ferent events. His recent triple win at the
Pacific coast championship games proves
that he is still capable OF defeating good
men at his special events, but he says posi-
lively that these games which were held
May 30 at San Francisco are his last, for
he is married and has IN increasing coal
business to look after.
Purcell is % years old, 5 feet 1Is< inches
tall, and in athletic condition weighs 1875
pounds. His first appearance on the west
ern continent was in the fall of 1885. when
he took part in the Canadian championship
games at Toronto. He was then a member
Of a team of Irish athletes which Invaded
the United States and canada to see what
prizes they could capture. Purcell on that
day competed in the pole vault and the
running broad jump, winning the latter
with 81 #. ~ in, but was defeated in the
former at o #. u in. He tied for second

There are certain high toned ply
sicians here in town who play it low
down" on their patients. They affect
an undecipherable handwriting and
inform their patients that the prescrip-
tons should be taken to certain drug
gists. II the patient thinks he can do
better in the matter of rates at another
drug store he presents the prescription
there and is reluctantly informed by
the clerk, after a protracted session
behind the prescription counter, that
he cannot read the writing. Then the
patient is necessarily obliged to take
the prescription TO the drug store de-
signated by the physician, where it is
put up without any ado and where a
good, round price is charged for it
The patient pays this without a MUIR
muir, for there wouldn't be a cent in
murmuring. Now, why does this
high toned physician do this1 Simply
secause he has an arrangement with
this particular druggist whereby he
gets a rake off on every prescription
compounded. He has a cipher ar
ranged with the druggist and no one
else a read his prescriptions. These
are the physicians who object most
strongly to their professional brethren
who advertise. Chicago Herald.

Garfield Beach on Great Salt Lake,
IIah.


The famous health and pleasure resort,
Garfield Beach, on Great Salt Lake,
Utah, IL miles from Salt Lake City, aud
reached only via the Union Pacific, THE
Overland Route" is now open for the
season. This is the only real sand beach
on Great Salt Lake, and is one of the
finest bathing and pleasure resorts in the
West. Great Salt Lake is not a srllen,
l~istless sheet of water, beating idly on the
shore, but on the contrary is as beautiful
a sheet Of water as can be found anywhere.
1t is 81 per cent salt, while the ocean is
only 3 per cent. and the water is SO bouy-
ant that a person is sustained on its
surface indefinitely without the least effort
on his part. Experience has proven its
great hygenic effects. Owing to the
stimulating effect OF the brine on the skin,
or the saline air on the lungs the appetite
Is stimulated, and after a bath. the bathers
are ready for a hearty meal, and feel
greatly invgorated. Fine bath houses.
accommodating 400 people, have been
erected at Garfield Beach, in connection
with which there is a irst-c!ass restaurant
and a large dancing pavilion built out over
the lake, all Of these are run by the Union
Pacific, who guarantee a first class resort in
every respect. The Union Pacific has
made low rates Of fare for those de-
string to visit Salt Lake City and Garfield
Beach. For complete description OF Jar

anu OUT VI the Ten
events he won second In the 100 yards, 40
yards, high jump, broad jump and hurdles,
and first inputting the shot and pole vault.
In the one mile run, throwing the hammer
and 30 pound weight he did not qualify.
One week after this event he took part in
the fall games of the New York Athletic
club, and won second place in the running
broad jump with 81 #. 81 In. Before his
return to Ireland, which was the day fol-
lowing these games, he said he would like
to live in America. Nothing was heard
from him until the summer of the follow
ing year, 1886, when he made an attempt
to break the best amateur running broad
jump record, % IT, Q in, held by p. DAWN,
of Ireland. Purcell did IS #. IL in, but the
record was not allowed on account of the
ground being down hill; but it is the opin-
ion of many who witnessed the perform
ance that the half dozen inches of fall did
not make much difference, but the Irish
association thought otherwise and left
Davin's performance as the best for that
country. The summer after this he went
to San Francisco, and in 1888 he competed
for the first time at the Pacific coast cham
pionship games, when he won, putting the
10 pound shot with 81 #. IL in. and the
pole vault with 8 #. 3 in. In 1889 he won
the shot with IS #. o in. and the pole vault
with 8 #. 8 in.
He has done 10 IS seconds for 100 yards,
SO seconds for 440 yards, 8 #. 7 in. in the
running high jump, 10 feet in the pole
vault, % #. II in. in the running broad
jump, IS feet at putting the sixteen pound
shot, and II rs seconds for running the 100
yard hurdle race. These performances
need no comment, and several of them are
near the best on record. He holds the best
on record for an amateur at the running
hop step and jump, at which game he COW
cred 48 IT. 3 in. in Ireland June 9, 1887. He
Is of an unusually genial disposition, and
is familiarity known in parts where he has
visited as honest John" Expressions OF
hope from San Francisco are that he has
not permanently retired.

According to tie best information we
can get hold Of, the people of Billtong,
B. c.. made a great effort to entertain
the Duke of Connaught and wife re-
Gently, and succeeded fairly well consider
ing that Billtoug Is a comparatively new
town. The duke said that be was not a
little surprised to find that Billtong was
yet in SO crude a state while marked
B. C.
Two days were then given for medita-
ton and subsequent mirth.
The duke wore an English made suit
of all wool clothes which fitted him in a
desultory way, and which would not cost
a bob over one and ten. He wore /.
Norfolk jacket and duck CATERS. Fear
ing the cold weather, his feet were en-
cased in gunnYsacks, tied with rag car
pet warp, but the duchess made lin
take them off for fear his feet would be
trained down toe much by that course.
