She Knew What to Do.

Yesterday afternoon a woman of
Lyon street exhibited rare case of
presence of mind. She was about to
be caught between = street oar and a
big freight wagon IN the narrow street.
She didn't have time 10 cross in front
of the car or turn back and get out of
the way Of the wagon, the driver of
which Was bowling along in . mos,
utter disregard Of life, liberty, or the
pursuit of happiness. But the woman
knew what to DO. She opened her par
asoi quickly in the face Of the horses
and they swerved aside enough 70 give
her standing room between the car and
the track. Then she gathered her
sxirta about her and crossed the street.

ALUMNI PICNIC.
High School Graduates Enjoy Them
selves at the Lake.


A scene of unusual sociability was
presented at the lake yesterday when
the alumni of the High school held
their annual picnic, and class colors
from years gone by predominated. The
afternoon and evening was spent IN re-
newing the ties that existed in the school
days. Many students in college are
home for their vacation, and added
their voices in the general merriment;
some OF the graduates are lawyers or
doctors, and school teachers are well
represented among the faifer ones.
In the early evening tables were
spread on the verandas- and q bount-
full feast was psrtaken of, after which
the company disbanded and separated
into smaller parties, aud the hours Of
the evening were wiied away with
Jest and repartee.

GOSSIP OF PUGILISM.
George Dixon and Fred Johnson
to Fight on the 9th.
FOR A WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Joe Goddard and Joe McAuliffe June
3O-John L. Sullivan Makes .
Speech in Boston.

Nearly every sporting authority in the
world predicted the defeat of Peter Jack
son by Frank Slavin last Monday night in
London. This was due TO confidence in
Slavin. caused by his quick victories over
McAuliffe and Kilrain, and not 10 preju-
dice against Peters color. This is shown
by the fact that betting on the Dixon
Johnson fight is and has been, ever since
the match was arranged, in Dixon's favor,
and he is as black as Jackson. George
Dixon, featherweight champion of the
world. and Fred Johnson. teatherweight
champion of England. will battle on the
evening of June II before the Coney Island
Athletic Club.
On the night of June 80. in San Fran
cisco, Joe Goddard, of Australia. who
twice defeated Joe Choynski and who
stood for eight rounds undefeated before
Peter Jackson, will meet Joe McAulifie.
Ii Goddard wins he will probably be
matched with Peter Jackson. Sullivan,
Jackson, Corbett and Goddard are the only
undefeated pugiIists of the first class. Of
Goddard's ability as fighter Sullivan
speaks in the lowest terms. He says God
dard has as much right to the claim of
being fighter as bricklayer would have
to run locomotive. Sullivan also re-
marks that Goddard is the most awkward
and ignorant fighter he ever saw in the

PORTLAND 3, SPOKANE O.
Spokane's Smuggling AvaiIed Nothing
Against POrtland's Fielding.

PORTLAND, Or, June 5.-ISpecial. To
days bali game was decidedly the pref
tiest played here this season. The team
work of both clubs was excellent, and
were it not for a muff of thrown ball by
MARI to head off Tebeau at third and a
wild pitch by Lucid Portland would not
have scored in the sixth. Umpire March's
work was little faulty. With Strauss on
second In the seventh inning, MARI hit a
ball along the right field foul line. March,
who was behind the pitcher, called
it foul, while to many in the
grand stand 1t looked as if it
struck square upon the line. Two were
out anyhow at the time. and as George
caught the ball OH the bound it is a aues-
ton if it would have made any difference
had the hit been allowed. March called
Burns safe at first in the eighth inning
when he was clearly out. He, however,
did not score, so the decision went for
nothing. The features of the game were
the pitching of both men, catches by
Stencil, Klopf and Beard, and Cline and
Lucid's excellent fielding and work in the
box. The score:

One OF the difficulties in the province of
quebec. at the present moment is the inn
possibility of arranging in n satisfactory
manner its financial troubles. When the
province was created, twenty-five years
ago, we were. naturally, free from debt;
the demands of the public service were in
signlbcant, and we received from the fed
eral parliament revenue fixed at so cents
head That was simply sufficient at
that time. We began to accumulate re-
serve capital like the province of Ontario.
with the construction of railways, how
ever, and the always increasing demands
OF growing population, the sum paid US
by the general government has not been
increased and has become inadequate,
while with the extravagant expen.
dltureS which everyone knows about,
and debt of $50 COO. 900. our minister
OF finance Is at his wits end. All this is
due TO an evident and undisputed vice of
the constitution. We were duped in
adopting the confederation. While we
have expended hundreds of millions on
railways LOCO leagues from our province in
order to transport thither at great ex-
pense immigrants from all parts of the
worid-immlgrants not well disposed to-
ward us, and through whom we are OUT
voted IN the Dominion parliament--we
have starved the government and the pop
uiation of the Province of Quebec While
we have enriched the provinces of the
west by hundreds OF millions expended
on public works of all sorts. we are
in debt at home to the tune of $50. 600. Geo.
and for our share of the debt of the Do
mlnion government TO more than $I00. 00O,-
600. Meanwhile, our province has been
depopulated. agricultural property has
become valueless, and the rural popula-
ton has left the fields to go to the United
States, there TO gain daily bread, the bitter
bread of exile. Ii the spirit OF party has
not blinded our representatives so that
they can see nothing. and SO that they
have become political moles, if they do
not betray the most sacred interests of the
country voluntarily and knowingly, they

Bishop Henry {. Potter.


Il We are going to teach the great lesson
Of Christian brotherhood. of the absolute
equality OF all men before their Father
who Is in heaven, how more expressively
can We teach and affirm it than by rearing
a sanctuary in which nowhere nor under
any conditions shall there be any reserved
rights, any locked pews. any hired sit
tlngs, any prescription on the one hand
this conception that the true idea of a
cathedral eliminates. 1t Is vast, il is
rich, il IS stately and majestic IN proper
ton and IN appointments. II Is for the
honor OF God and not for the glory of man
and it is tree TO all aliAe. Ii this Is I'M
American. then they who founded the re-
public were also un-Americln. In one
word, the past of Christendom has given
to the future OF America a great and ioble
instrument Let not ours be the doubtful
