mirers belived that he had sold the
fight. There was no real grounds for
this suspicion. Pritchard proved him
self to be an infinitely better boxer
and greater general. Burke was
badly beaten in three rounds.
After this victory Pritchard an
nounced his willingness to box any
middleweight in the world, with pre-
fereLces for Fitzsimmons and Hall.
AS negotiations were then pending be-
tween the Antipodeans, neither of
them paid any attention to the Briton
defy. Meanwhile Mr.. Abingdon. an
English sport, whose name is known
nearly the world over, set about to
match Pritchard against Jem omith,
who in spite of his defeats
by jackson and Slavin, was
the recognized heavyweight champion
of England Abingdon never liked
PriUchard and he vowed that he would
have him whipped. 1t was Abingdon
who furnished ALT Mitchell's stake
money, He also put up Jack Burke's
stakes. Pritchard was ready to make
a match with Smith, and after some
dilly-dallying on 1.-THE latter's part
articles of agreement were finally
signed
The result of the contest was sur
prise to the pugilistic world. Pritchard,
although fifteen pounds the lighter,
moved his opponent down in three
rounds. In the early part of the
fight Smith floored him three times.
He quickly recovered and the tables
were soon turned. So Abingdon lost
another So. 800. As he is worth several
millions, however. the loss will not
worry him to an alarming extent.
Abingdon, it is said is ready to back
Eitzsimmous against Pritchard for So
600. The latter would have an adj
vantage Of two inches in height, as
Pritchard is feet inches tall.
Jack McAuliffe was interviewed at
his place of training the other day. He
said if he won the fight with Gibbons
he would challenge Pritchard.

Big African Enterprises.

Considerable amounts of American cap
ital are being invested in some big African
enterprises. The railroad from Delagoa
bay, the best harbor ON the east coast of
Africa, which is now completed for dis
tance of 1ifty-four miles inland, was built
by an American syndicate under con-
cession from the Portuguese government
1t will connect with the line to be built
from Pretoria, the capital of the Trans
wall The largest trading company on
the Upper Congo, and the only one that
has yet sent two steamers to the upper
river, is the Sanford company, which was
organized and until recently was managed
by Americans. Considerable Belgian
capital, however, is invested in the com
pany. American engineers surveyed and
are now building the railroad from Loanda
to Ambaca, which is backed by the Portu-
guese government Some American
money also is finding its way into quartz
crushing machinery for the new gold
fields of South Africa. Chicago News.

How Electricity Kills.

An expert electrician seriously advances
a proposition that will provoke discussion.
He asserts that it is not the electricity
the human system receives that kills.
Life is destroyed, wrenched from the sub
iect of a superabundance of the fluid by
the discharge. In other words, if a man
were converted into an electrical jar, he
would prove an entirely trustworthy res
ervoir of electricity. Amy quantity of the
fluid might be "banked" in him. But
the moment it is drawn from him he drops
lifeless, limp as the sparrow that falls
from the wire. -Pittsburg Bulletin.

Calling the waitress.

In the stylish up town houses in New
York now it is impossible to see how the
lady of the house communicates with the
kitchen while a meal is in progress.
This is because the call bell has become
a mere electric button on one of the
table legs, and she presses it with her
foot whenever she wants the waitress.
For a very few dollars-about twenty five
New York houses are now fitted with
electric systems, including the front door
bell and bells in the bedrooms. Good

Could one ascend with an unheard Of fight,
An slywaTd. skyward without limit soar,
AS if the pinion of god he wore,
Till earth were left dwindling star, whose light
Flew faint upon his track; at last his height
All height would vanquish; there in Geeps OF

Were neither upper nor inferior place;
Distinctions little zone below him quite.
Oh. happy dreams Of such soul have I,
And softly to my heart of him sing,
Whose seraph pride all pride doth oyerwing;
Scars unto meekness, reaches low by high,
And, as in grand capabilities of the sky
Stands level with the beggar and the king.

AUSTRALIAN WRESTLER.

Almost Unbroken Record.

Jack Pau,yman, the heavyweight
champion wrestler of Australia, is %
years of age He made his first APP
pearance as wrestler in a COZ test for
a medal and the amateur champion
ship of the colonies, at Nictor's Hall,
Melbourne, Nov. Z, 1887, when he won.
His next performance was at Prof.
Millers benefit, when he wrestled
Chasen and won. In 1883 he threw
out challenge to any 12s pound anna
teur, and was accommodated by Theo-
dore Lawrence of Germany. They
met on Aug. 10. at the
Temperance Hall, Hotham, when
Perryman won very easily. In
1889 he won first prlze at the Gale

will come together sooner or later,
Pritchard will give his hackers run
for their money.
When he reached his fifteenth year
Pritchard became a member of a com
pany of travelling boxers. In England
dozens of such troupes may be seen at
every county fair. Prizes of from 81 to
S3, according to the condition of the
proprietor eXchequer, are offered to
outsiders who can stay four rounds
with any of the company. The man
who wishes TO try for this money is
pitted against one of the boxers OF
about his own weight, and an admission
of from five to twenty-five cents is
charged to the show. Pritchard was a
great success. He was engaged at a
salary which would amount to about
$3.50 in American money, and he
thought himself well paid. His duties
consisted of meeting i've, ten, and
sometimes as many as twenty men a
day. If any of them succeeded in
STAYING with him the stipulated
number of rounds, one-quarter of the
sum paid to the successful contestant
was deducted from Ted's weekly sti-
pendiary emolument. 1t soon began
to dawn upon Ted that he could make
more money in boxing competitions
with much less effort and he entered
tournaments in Lambeth both of which
ne won.
Subsequently he gave away too
much weight to local boxer named
"Pudney'' Sullivan and was beaten.
A heavy weight named Bill Whatley
also proved too much for Pritchard.
After these experiences he decided to
pick out men of his own weight, but
as he won battle after battle with
middle-weights he grew harder and
tackled big 'uns with unvarying sue
cess. After making a second tour with
''penny" show, as these travelling
companies are called, Pritchard went
to London. He won several com
petit ions there, and was soon
matched against Jim Hayes for
$500 a side. This fight took place in Feb
ruary, 1852. Seeing Their favorite
badly beaten, Hayes friends broke in
to the ring and stopped the proceed
ings. Pritchard, however, was given
! the stakes. Three months later
