The glove contest last night between
Jack James, 120-pound champion OF Yer
mont and Massachusetts, and Billy Will
Jams, 1lS-pound champion of Texas, came off
as advertised ct the Eagle theater. The
fight was for 500 a side and the gate re-
ceipts, Marquis OF Queensbury rules.
Up to the eleventh round, when the fight
was given to Williams on a foul, it was a
pretty contest, Eonors being about even,
though some thought James had the best
of it.
Jim Nichols was selected referee and
Frank Shields time-keeper Bob Ahearn
seconded Williams, and the Galveston
splder' looked after James.
Fighting was commenced in earnest IN
the first round Some exchange Of blows
was had, when James caught Williams in
the neck with Highlander and sent
him to the floor. IN the second
he repeated the same act twice, and in the
third again succeeded in knocking Williams
off his feet. In the fourth and

James hard and often, and continued

a Talking canary.

1t seems almost incredible that a canary
could be taught to speak; nevertheless,
there have been well authenticated cases in
which this seemingly impossible feat has
been accomplished.
The most notable instance was that of a
canary exhibited in London in 1855 and it
had a most remarkable history. Its parents
had previously successfully reared several
broods, but in the early part Of the year
in question Matched out but one of four
eggs. Strange to say, they entirely neg
lected the little one, and Immediately re-
built nest over it. The owners of the
birds accidentally discovered this fact and
removed the forsaken one almost dead. 1t
was placed in flannel by the fire, and after
the greatest attention was restored and
raised by hand.
The fact of its being treated in this man
ner, separated from ali other birds, caused
it to become very familiar with its foster
parents, and its first singing notes were en-
tirely different from those uttered by Or
binary canaries. Being continually adj
dressed in enGearing terms by its mistress,
it astonished her one day By suddenly re-
peating the words "kissiei kissier' This
became an everyday occurrence, and from
time to time other terms were added to its
vocabulary.
For hours together, except during the
melting season, this extraordinary bird
would call out in tones almost as clear as
if uttered by a human voice, such SEN
fences as Dear, sweet Titchiep'-the name
given it by its mistress-'Kiss Minnie"
Kiss me, dear Minnisp' "Kissie! kissie!
kissie, sweet little Titchier' wee! gee,
gee Tjtchje sweet Tibchieu IT. alao devnI
oped faculty for whintling, the first bar
of ''God Save the Queen" being its fayorite
air.
Another talking canary is said to have
been exhibited in London in 1885, but all
authorities agree that it was in no way
equal to the one Observation-Disclosures Free

A Business Incident.


A Rio Grande valley man who had
been up to Las Vegas for few days
stopped off at Lamy junction last night
and observing the train men unloading
two car loads of fruit he walked up anC
said:
"What have you there?"
Fruit" was the reply"
"Shipping that into Santa Fe? They
must live pretty well up there"
"Naw replied the brakey. This frui
is produced in Santa Fe. We handle thil
much every night, and it will be thret
car loads after next week"
"Well, that's queer" said the Rio
Grande valley man. "They told me W
at Las Vegas that Santa Fe was deader'r
a door nail, and was about to be fenced ii
and rented out for range pasture"
''Oh rsts!" the brakey grunted
"Just you 60 up and take look at San
Fe if you want to see real prosperou
burgh."
"Tll go you,' replied the R. G. V
man, and he's doing the capital city to
day with both eyes wide open.
