THREE INTERESTING BOUTS.
A Trio of s1ugging Matches Before th'
ConeY Island Club.

A Trio of sIugglng Matches Before the
Coney Island Club.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Three bouts were
fought tonight at the Coney Island ath-
letic club, before about 10000 specta-
tors. The first was between Billy
Plimmer OF England, champion bantam
of the world, and Jerry Barnett of New
York. 1t resulted in favor OF Plimmer,
who clearly outclassed his opponent.
The second bout was an eight-round
contest between Charley Hammer and
Jim Sullivan, both of New York. 1t
was veritable slugging match,
and was anybody's fight up to
the end of the fifth round. In the sixth
Sullivan weakened somewhat, but soon
recovered, and had the best of both the
sixth and seventh rounds. In the eighth
round honors were even. Both men
displayed science. The referee declared
the fight draw.
The third bout was the fight of the
night, twenty-round contest, at 120
pounds, between Eddie Pierce, an anna
teur featherweight, who made his debut
as professional, and George Siddons,
"The Little Demon of the South" After
forty-one rounds, both agreed to call the
fight a draw.

A New way TO Catch Fish.

Mr.. David Pickle, of the Cuba district,
Blakely, Ca, has new mode of catch
ing fish. The plan is this: The fish are
baited for some days with a mixture Of
-four and magnetized steel filings made
into stiff paste or dough. When they
begin to take the bait magnetized iron
or steel rod, coated with the same kind
of paste, is let down to them. They
soon attempt to suck the paste from it,
and in doing SO stick hard and fast.
1t is not unusual for Mr.. Pickle to
haul out at one time long string or rod
of suckers in this way. This plan of
fishing, combined with Mr.. Cal Odom's
method of frightening or setting fire to
the fur of raccoons and burning them
out of the highest trees with roman
candles, is bound to revolutionize hunt
ing and fishing in this section.-Atlanta

San Francisco Produce Market.

SAN Francisco, Aug. S-1he fruit
market demonstrated fair amount OF
activity this morning, and peaches and
choice Bartlett pears enjoyed good in
quiry and were readily bought at top
quotations. Black figs sell well, but the
common white varieties are neglected.
Rsspberries are scarce and in good de.
mand. Other berries are rather slow OF
sale. Watermelons are arriving freely,
and canteloupes, owing to liberal re-
ceipts, are lower In price and weaker;
Apricots are in sufficient supply to meet
requirements. For peaches for canning
purposes, 2 cents was the top price can
ners were disposed to pay today.
The vegetable market is without any
new features. Supplies of all kinds are
more than adequate for the require
ments, and values are weak. The mar
ket ia glutted with onions, summer
squash and cucumbers. Potatoes, for
choice varities, are in good demand, and
prices are steady.

Rules tc~ Picnics.

There are certain principles of con-
duct with regard to picnics which it is
well to observe. For one thing, never
go early to picnic. If you do go early
you will have to carry tubs containing
ice cream freezers packed in ice, pals
of water, rugs and garden seats and
perform a great many other laborious
tasks.
A picnic is a good deal like coasting,
except that it is the other way around
the hard work comes before the fun in
stead of after it. When picnic is over
and most Of the things are eaten up it
is not much work to sweep dishes to-
gether and carry them away. But the
getting of them there is terrible. So it
is point of reasonable conduct to come
little late.
Another point is to decline nothing
that offers in the way of food. Don't
refuse rolls on the expectation of getting
sandwiches, because you may not get
the sandwiches. Keep the rolls; you
needn't eat them if you get the sand
wiches. Another point-avoid conflict
ing contusions upon your next neighbor
by grabbing wildly at the olive dish. If
you do thus grab for it he is likely to do
the same thing at the same moment.
Cruel bodily injuries have resulted from
this course of action. The danger arises
from the fact that olives are the staff of
life at picnics.
Gentlemen in waiting upon ladies
should occasionally furtively bolt a
sandwich as matter of provision, since
tho ,eatables may all be consumed or the
inevitable rainstorm come up before the
ladies are fully waited upon. Any one
can get through picnic day safely and
comfortably without ice cream, maca-
rooms, frosted cake or other delicacies,
but sustenance of some sort he must
have. For this reason, as one passes be-
hind tree in the course of his admira-
BILE struggle to see that the ladies have
everything, he should rapidly swallow a
sandwich.
With attention to few prudent de-
tails such as these, picnics may be de-
prived of fully one-half of their terrors

The Damage TO Property Estimated at
R1,OOO,OOO.

The Damage to property Esu""eOu o..
e1,OOO,OOO.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 8.-La5t nights hail,
wind and rain storm was very severe
locally, but the greatest damage was
done in other parts of the state. Full
reports have not been received, but
the loss seems very likely to reach
nearly million dollars. In
Lincoln, Yellow Medicine and Lyon
counties, alone, the damage is estimated
at more than half million. A tornado
passed over Marshall at 5 O'Clock this
morning, taking the same course as the
one last Friday. Several buildings were
destroyed, among others the lcelandic
Lutheran church and the residence
of a man named Cummings, which
had just been rebuilt, after
being destroyed last Friday.
The handsome cathedral windows in
the Congregational and Methodist
churches were destroyed. Two Poles
are reported killed at Marshall. In st:
Paul and Minneapolis, number OF
houses were struck by lightning and
more or less damage by fire followed,
while the damage by wind and rain was
great. Similar reports are received
from other parts of the northwest.

Having False Teeth Pulled.

Going twelve miles to have set Of
false teeth pulled and being obliged to
take gas in order to undergo the opera
tion is something new in the dental line,
but it was the experience of Kenne-
bee county woman the other day. The
teeth were new and were such snug
fit that she couldn't get them out. After
enduring the discomfort for two days
she went to Augusta for relief, and by
the time she reached there her mouth
was SO sore as to make the taking of gas
ecessary.-Lewiston Journal.

oatmeal becoming Popular.

The curious will note that one of the
most noticeable features about the ex-
port trade of Boston for the month of
May was the increase in oatmeal sent
abroad. There was gain of more than
100000 pounds in this item as compared
with year ago. Johnson described
oats as an article which Englishmen fed
to their horses and Scotchmen to them
selves. But evidently, from the way in
which the oatmeal trade is growing, the
Scotchmen are converting the world to
their way of eating, if not to their way
Of thinking. Boston Journal.

procession of Boats at Cambridge.

The boat procession at Cambridge was
unusually successful this year. The
afternoon was delightfully."- fine, and the
very large crowd looked extremely pic
turesque. The boats were as usual
prettily decorated. The leading crews
came in for hearty reception, while
the final scene, when all the crews with
uplifted oars cheered one another in
turn, was particularly striking. The
success of the afternoon, however, was
the Lady Margaret boat, which con
tanned two men and six empty seats, tc
which were affixed sticks with p1acardi
bearing the legend "Sent Down." while
another notice stated that further par
ticulars might be obtained Of Messrs.
Caldecott and Cox.
The Johnians had celebrated their
bumps with such vigor that nine out of
the sixteen men in the two boats had
been sent down. 1t certainly seems a
very strong step, and it is unfortunate
that it should have had to be taken

California Wheat.

(. California wheat has a greater farm
value than the wheat of any of the other
states in the Union in which wheat
growing is leading industry. Last
year the average price of California
wheat on the farm exceeded that of
Kansas wheat by more than 80 per cent.
The reason why our wheat is worth SO
much more is because it costs so much
less to get it to the foreign market.
The state enjoys the advantage of deep
water freight, but it should not be over
looked that large portion of our grain
crop is hauled distances of more than
300 miles from San Francisco.-Sa

SANTA MONICA OR SAN PEDRO
Major Raymond and Others Are Com

Major Raymond and Others Are Com
ing to This City.
Major G. w. Raymond, who is in
charge of the United States Engineers
Office in this city, says the Philadelphia
Item, in company with four other East
ern engineers, will in few days start for
the Pacific coast.
They have been detailed by the War
Department to settle upon the location
of the great harbor to be constructed on
the coast OF California.
This harbor will, undoubtedly, be one
of the finest in the world, and will be
established either at San Pedro or Santa
Monica, in close proximity to Los An
geles.
A few years ago San Pedro Bay, shall
low body of water with depth of only
eighteen inches at its entrance, was i'm
proved at an expense of nearly 81 ,O00,-
900.
1t now has depth of nearly fourteen
feet.
Last year board of three United
States army engineers was appointed to
consider the best place to establish a
government harbor in California, and
they recommended to congress that San
Pedro bay be the place.
This met with decided disapproval
from residents of the coast, and peti.
tion from Santa Monica, several miles
| further down the coast, was sent to con-
gress, asking that the new harbor be
COZ structed there.
This had the desired effect, and the
matter is now to be reopened by the
| appointment of the present board, who
are to examine both places and decide
which is the better location.
The members of the board are Col. w.
B. Craighill, president; Coils. Henry
M. Roberts and P. G. Haines,, and Ma
iors Thomas H. Hamburg and @. w.
Raymond. g
They will assemble in San Francisco
about August goth, and go to Los An
geles, from which place they will con-
duct their examinations.
