A conservation service followed, led by

THE MYSTIC HOPE.

What is this mystic, wondrous hope in me,
That, when no star from out the darkness born
Gives promise of the coming of the morn;
When all life seems a painless mystery
Through which tear blinded eyes no way can see'
When illness comes, and life grows most forlorn,
stin dares to laugh the last dread threat to
scorn,
And proudly cries, Death is not shall not be?
wonder at myself. Tell me, o Death
If that thou rll st the earth; if dust to dust"
Shall be the end of love and hope and strife,
From what rare land is blown this living breath
That shapes itself to whispers of strong trust
And tells the lief it's q leo life:
-NIiuot J. Savage.

fought at the California Athletic club to-
night for purse of $1,000 and tho bantam
weight championship Of the world. Dixon
won the fight in the fifth round. Willis
was practically unknown to many hero and
bettinR before the fight was i'll Dixon's
favor. Hiram Cook was referee. Time was
called at S43. In tho preliminary sparring
Dixon showed to great advantage in reach.
He soon led, catching Willis on the jaw and
sending him down. When he arose there
was the liveliest kind of a rally and
hard fighting at close quarters, Dixon hav-
ing the best Of it. In the second Dixon
planted swinging left on the Australians q
jaw. Several sharp replies and much
clinchinR followed. In the third, after
cautious sparring, Dixon landed left and
right handlers on Willis body and jaw, but
without much effect. In the fourth Dixon
rushed and landed on Willis jaw and body
several times, receiving two sharp raps in
return. In the fifth round, after
some sharp interchanges. in which
Dixon plainly hit harder and oftener, he
caught the Australian on the jaw with his
loft and sent him down. Willis rose to his
hands and knees and took his ten second g
on the floor. He arose then, but was not
able to do much in the rally that followed.
and Dixon's right soon came into contact
with his jaw and he went down fiat ON his
back. He fell heavily and lay like log.
When the ten seconds had expired Willis
seconds had to lift him from the floor and
Dixon was declared tho winner. The COL
ored man seemed as strong as when the
fiiht commenced.

Disreputable Tactics of the Eastern Press
Cause Trouble.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 28.-William j..
Elriott, the former editor and proprietor of
the Sunday Capitol, who, with his brother,
p. j. Elliott, killed Albert Cosborn, re-
porter on the Sunday World. and w. l..
Hughes, bystander, besides wounding a
number of people during the shooting af-
fray on High street, on the afternoon of
February %, last, was convicted this morn
ing of murder in the second degree. The
trial has been in progress since May II, and
the crime was the result of personal jour
nalism. When the clerk began to read the
verdict it was IL highly sensational scene,
the ladies present being greatly overcome.
w. j. Elliott had his youngest boy i'll his
lap when the verdict was being read, and he
covered the child's eyes and mouth so that
lie could not see or make an outcry. As the
.dirt of the jury was read Elliott became
SO enraged that he pulled G. A. X. button
from the lapel of his coat and threw it
spitefully in the direction of the jury.
Elliott's wife and children escorted him to
the Jail. where fearful scene was enacted.
Comments of the crowd were various, the
general sense being one of relief that the
long agony was over, only a few expressing
dissatisfaction when the tenor of the ver-
dict became known.
By the laws of Ohio, murder in the sec
ond gegree is punishable by life imprison-
ment, the court having no alternative in
the matter. Notice of a motion for new
trial was made and SO sentence was not
passed. The court fixed next Saturday as
the time for hearing arguments on the mo-
tion for new trial.

FATE OF MISSIONARIES.
Reports of Riots In China Causing Mucf
Concern.

Reports of Riots Ia China Causing Much
Concern.
Boston, July 2S.-Much anxiety exists in
Boston over the news from China regard
ing the massacre of missionaries. The Con-
gregationalists and Baptists say their de-
nominations have not been molested as far
as hey know. At Methodist headquarters,
however. press reports of rioting at Yang
Chow, Nanking, Wnsuch. Kin-kianR and
other places in Yang Isl valley cause un-
easiness. At Marking the Chinese at
tempted to demoiish the Philander Smith
hospital and set fire to the girls school, 4
building belonging to the Women's Foreign
Missionary society. Rev. ID. w. Nichols
faced the mob alone and kept them at bay
with revolver until tho mandarin
arrived with soldiers. At Wusuch, as
before stated, Rev. Mr.. Argenta and
Mr. Green, Englishman connected with the
customs service, were killed. As to the
cause of these riots, one gentleman con-
nected with the book concern said Che press
advices were undoubtedly corle ect; that
there is a secret society which has for its
object the overthrow of the government,
and whose purpose in fomenting riots is to
embroil the government with foreign pow
ers in the hope that war will ensue. Also.
there are large numbers of discharged SOL
diers and unemployed laborers who con-
stitute a roaming and lawless body of men,
always ready to enter into any scheme of
destruction and plunder. The Chinese
government however, they assert was
never more friendly to missionaries than at
present.

WILL END THE WAR.
If Balmaceda Gets His Cruisers the Insur

If Balmaceda Gets His Cruisers the Insur-
gent Jig Is Up.
SAN Francisco, July 2S.-The Chornicle's
Los Angeles special SAYS an officer of the
Charleston gives it as his opinion that if
Balmaceda succeeds in getting his three
ships from France the war will be prac-
ticaliy ended. The insurgents anticipate
their appearance on the Chilean coast with
horror. Balmaceda holds the southern
part of Chilli, which is the food-producing
part of the country. He has money. is feed
ing his troops, paying them, and can pro-
long the war. The congressionalists have
no money, little food. and hold only the
northern part of the country, which is not
food producing. Contrary to reports
the officer states that there has
been practically no naval fighting.
The sinking of the Blanca Encalada was
the only thing done during the whole war
worth mentioning. The officer says further
that dispatches sent over, the wires by
either party are totally unreliable, as they
are doctored to suit. In Iquique there is
no money, every firm issuing its own cur
rency. The money of the country
deprecated to twenty cents on
the legal dollar from the gold
standard. Pill box lids are medium of
circulation in Iduique, a round lid being
good for 25 cents, an oval lid for 80 cents.
Firms issuing these stamp their names up
on them and are supposed to redeem them
some time in the future, meanwhile honor
ing them with their face value in goods.

Powers, of Indiana, said he looked across q

There has been bloody chasm between
the north and south for twenty five years.
but the people will fill the chasm with dead
politics. aud wipe out the monopoly of
plutocracYy, restore the government to tho
greenback he held in his hand destroyed
the sovereignty of the people. I he evil
was aggravated when an exception was
made against the silver dollar. He held a
map i'll his hand illustrating national
banks in which the people could not ap-
proach the treasury, and showing banks in
1886 receiving $G0,0O0,0o0 from the treasury
hopper. He also had map with see-saw

and u republican and democrat on either
