The "pacifio Magazines"

The Pacific Magazine for July has new
design for its cover executed by j. w.
Cantrell. local artist. The number is
embellished by beautiful portrait OF
Louise Kellogg, and the letter-press is
frightened by the pens of several excel
lent writers. Lee Fairchild, the proprie-
tor, is making brave effort to establish
magazine charactistic of the state, and for
that reason alone, to say nothing of Its IN
trinsic merit, he should receive generous

..The Mariners Compass" Mt Cordrav..

'Ahe Marihers compass Mt Cordray's,
The writer of this comedy, semi-tragic
drama, went out of his way for title
The fact that several of its leading charac-
tiers were born TO the sea was no more
reason for adopting the title than wound
the choice of seafaring life entitle the
chooser to the name of Neptune. Another
playwright redramatised the work and
gave it the more appropriate title of Hearts
of Oak" which has long since won
its way to popular favor, and there is no
doubt that Seattle people will welcome the
production under the original name "The
Mariners Compass"
Perhaps in no county of ENGLAND i.
there a more sturdy race of men than the
merry men of Kent" Their impetuons
sailor has shed luster on British arms
from the disastrous day of Senlac down 10
the triumph of Waterloo. Their lone-bows
have showered clouds of death-dealing
shafts on the mailed breasts of Invading
Norsemen, and their good swords have
hewn the way to victory at Families and
Malplaquet. In war they have been as in
yincibie as the white chalk cliffs of their
native shore, and in political life they have
ever been in the van for freedom and
justice. In domestic life they have ALWAYS
been yirtuous, honest and Godfearing
From such people the characters of the
play are drawn. The true nobility of
Silas, the unselLsh generosity of Ruhv
and the womanly qualities of Hetty
Arnold are not one whit overdrawn The
only thing lacking to make them thor
oughly real is the dialect characteristic of
their county. The scenery for the success
fui mounting of this play should be strik-
ingly realistic, as the situations in several
instances call for considerable spectacular
effect. The Cordray management has
spared no pains TO make the representa-
ton highly praiseworthy.

CONCERNING CANDY.

The demand for Different Kinds Changes
TO Keep Pace With the Season.
l suppose people think candy is a COM
modify that lasts all tie year round. ] sup
pose it may be true that some of the cheap
peddiers' stands contain candy that has
seen honorable service, so far as length Of
time is concerned. But the taste in candy
changes like any other fashion, and the
dealer in candy finds that his wares are not
salable all the year round and that ne must
accommodate his stock to the demands of
the seasons. Fer instance. hard candies are
cold weather candies and the demand 1or
them is greatly diminished in the warm
weather. For one thing it is impossible to
display hard candies in warm weather, be-
cause they grow sugaTy ana do not retain
either flavor or color. After they have heen
kept for few days they Immediately
begin to change, and the transforma-
ton is very rapid. Lemon drops, but
ter scotch and most of tile hard mo-
sale in summer. Anything that is made up
with mOlasSeS does not last very long when
the weather is warm. MaTshmallows and
chocolates arc good summer candy and are
always IN pretty general demand. Cream
bonbons Keep very well in the hot months,
ana the fruit candies come out with the
flowers and depart with the summer. The
softer candy drops are sold in summer, and
there is a particular kind of candy that is
sold nearly altogether in the months of July
and August. Sometimes they find market
earlier and later, but not often. There are
more men who buy candies than women, as
rule. | don't know whether this holds
true of ali districts, but in the business por-
ton Of the city You would be surprised to
ind how many men make candy a part of
their luncheon. Not only is the practice
prevalent among the young clerks, but the
steady old business men. who wouldn't be
supposed to care anything for sweets. are
quite hopeless victims of the candy habit

A CHURCH ROOF OF GOLD.

DIR. McCOok's Tabernacle Was Wealth
Catcher.
Three thousand dollars for an old tin roof
would be pretty steep price, but the man
who gets the battered roof from the old
Tabernacle Church, at Broad street and
South Penn square, which is now being
torn away. for that sum will be in great
luck. Some years ago the paint was scraped
off the old roof and yielded $4,000 in fine
gold. 1t is almost certain to yield as much
this time. The gold comes from the Mint.
When gold is being coined considerable
quantity of it volatiliZes with the smoke
through the chimney and as soon as it reaches
open air it falls. Much Of it strikes the
roof of the Mint, so much of Il that the Off
Gals save even the water that tails upon it
during a shower. All the drains from the
roof are connected with large watts in the
cellar of the Mint. Before the water finally
gets to the sewer it is strained through
many blankets and sleeves which retain the
gold.
notwithstanding all these precautions.
the gold that is annually washed into the
Delaware from the Mint Is worth thousands
Of dollars. Every particle of dirt swept up
about the Mint is carefully stored away with
the washugS from the roof, and once every
year it is sold to the highest bidder as it
cannot be used at the Mint.-Philadelph

SPECULATIoNs ON THE RESULT
The betting last evening was very spirited
in the pool-rooms, and, as fast as the caller
could sell tickets. money was pouring in
from all quarters at the rate of $50 to Sl5,
with Dixon on the long end.
Willis was very nervous yesterday, and in
reply to many queries said that he had
trained down too Gna and as a result he fell
somewhat weak. A particular friend of his
said last evening that only few days ago
he received q letter from Australia stating
that one of his children was very i'll, and
this bad news completely upset him. The
battle demonstrated, however, that when in
the very pink OF condition Willis could not
play rards with his dusky opponent, who
proved to be as strong as an OK and as quick
on bis pins as California wildcat
Willis. although he fought game battle
was unQUeSti0nably outclassed in every par
only wonderful tighter, but remarkable
general.
THE PURSE GUARANTEED.
Prior to the battle, ORpurke, who had
very good reason to feel nervous regarding
the payment of the purse which the club,
owing to its rather precarious state, must
have found some difficulty in procuring,
asked Major Mclaughlin. in polite way,
II the winner would get his full share with
out unnecessary trouble. The latter
quickly responded that the full amount
would be paid the man who won the battle
by fair means.
The Majors word satisfied O'Rourke, and
st S:35 o'clock Dixon and his seconds,
Young Mitchell. Billy Akers and O'Rourke
passed through the crowd that filed the
entrance to the ring, and took positions in
the southwest corner of the squared circle
A few seconds afterward Willis and his at
tendants, Martin Murphy, Eddie Granley
and Billy Smith made their appearance in
the opposite corner. The very gentlemanly
referee, Hiram Cook, took his position i'm
medIately in front of the honorable Board of
Directors, WHO had specially cushioned
seats arranged for their individual and col
lective comfort, while the ordinary men,
bers were necessarily compelled to take pot
luck on the hard benches that surrounded
the ring.

sive, and by cunning system Of fiddling
forced Willis into his own corner and by a
quick feint he caused Willis to duck, and
what mistake that duck was for poor
Willis. Out shot Dixon's left-an upper
cut-which landed with smash on Willis
nose and mouth, sending the recipient on
his back, his legs beating holes in the air.
No sooner had Willis got on his feet again
than he was sent TO the carpet again by a
half-arm jolt on the jaw. The pucky Aus
tralian came up for more punishment and
ducking nicely nasty Highlander he
clinched with Dixon. After breaking away
the BoStoDian made great squirt in the at
tempt To put his white opponent to sleep,
but he failed to land Oh the right spot and
the round closed amid great excitement
with sharp rally.
TWO KNoCK-DowNs.
Second round-Willis surprised all pres
ent when the gong sounded the fighters to
the center of the ring by the spry way in
which he faced his opponent. He had re-
covered quickly, and took determined
stand on the carpet. He was the first to
lead, but the blow fell short of its intende d
mark. Dixon was cautious, and after few
seconds maneuvering, he sent out his left
on mischief bent bnt the glove went flying
over his antagonists head cutting a deep
cash in the atmosphere. Willis finally made
up his mind that he would try aggressive
tactics, and closing in on Dixon, minute
and half Of close-quarter fighting followed,
the like of which has not been seen in the
California Club for many day. Toward
the finish Of the rally Willis was caught by
right-hanh smash on the jaw. which once
more sent him TO the mating. He was up
in jffy. and Immediately bore In on his
clever opponent, when another siege of
short-arm work followed. Willis, although
a strong in-fghter, was no match for his an.
tagonist. who held him tightly with the left
around the neck, while his right was playing

Third round-The sharp rallies in the
previous round caused the fighters to take
matters bit easy, and as Consequence
considerable sparring at long range was in
dulged in until near the finish, when Dixon
shot out his unerring left, landing the buck
skin squarely on the white mans nose The
blow caused Willis to wake up, and, making
"A desperate ATTEMPT to cover lost ground. he
again challenged Dixon at short-arm fight
