RESULT OE The EIGHT.
Billy Murphy Made a Speech and johnnie

Took the Pot.
There was a tolerably good crowd at the
Pacific Club last evening. The members
gathered to see the finish of the postponed
contest between the leather weight pugs-
the Murpbys
Johnny of Boston appeared in the ring
when 1t was time for fstc exchanges in
full pugilistic costume. He was in fine fix
and apparently anxious for a disturbance
with the gentleman from Australia, who
holds tenaciOuSly on to the Fox collar
belt.
Billy put in an appearance also, but his
dress was the same as worn by any Ordl-
nary mortal. He explained to the anxious
crowd the reason why he did not don ring
attire. He said: Gentlemen, | Railways
got blOomin' fair play in this country l
am now an American. I've fought Critic.
who Is 126 pOnnds-l0 pounds more than my
friend Johnny-and he never 1T me one
good blow. This chap over here-ponting
to the Bostonian-h'js the 'ardest litter |
ever met, and is the only man that ever
brought me down. l can't foght tonight
gentlemen, because my and is yet pretty
we'll knocked up, and | could not give you a
good show. When my hand gets well, ye
know, would like 10 foight Johnny again
for the belt | now hold"
Johnny was too surprised TO answer
Billy's speech, but Referee Sullivan turned
his manly back to the presS-stand, which
was minus long distance telephones, and
said something which echoed back 10 the
south end of the hall:
johnny Murphy wins the match, gentle
men, and as Mr.. Murphy of Australia said
that he would fight Johnny when his fist is
AL right Johnny says that he will come
back from Boston whom Mr.. Billy Murphy
is ready to fight again.
Then there were loud cheers for Billy and
johnny, after when some OF the gambling
gamins shouted: "HOw about the bets on
the fight. Mr.. Sullvan?" And the honor
able referee answered back: LAS far as l
AIN concerned. gentlemen, all bets are off"
Before Mr.. Sullivan took his departure
from the ring he glanced up at the north
east corner of the building and smiled cutely,
Several eyes were cast immediately in the
same direction, but nothing very amusing
attracted the attention Of the curious boys,
who whistled annie Rooney" as they
tramped out of the building.
Previous to the contest that did not take
place a l0-Tound Ego" was announced be-
tween Robert Dobbs (colOred) and Ed
GiacOmini. an italian athlete.
1t was short and decisive. In the first
round DObbs nailed his opponent stiff left
on the mouth and right one on the neck.
The blows took all the fight out of the Ital-
ian, who remained on the defensive until
the round was finished.
The second round was very short. The
white man dashed at DObbs and was
stopped. He tried another rush and hap
pened to land swing on the black fellows
neck which aroused the receiver. Dobbs
retTeated, and as the Italian was coming at
him again he measured his distance we'll
and smashed the white lad hot 'un on the
jaw. The blow staggered Giacomini and
second smash on the same spot sent the
white pugiist to the floor. He managed 10
get up, but was knocked down three times
and was tiIally counted out

OLD AND HOPELESS.

XIII Herself.


XIII Herself.
An old and toothless woman, who for the
past year has been cook for B. F. Norris
at 1922 Sacramento street, was taken TO the
Receiving Hospital to be treated for as
phyxiation. 1t was apparent to the hospi-
tai physicians that she had attempted sui
eide, and 1t is probable that she succeeded.
The Norris family is spending the sum-
mer in the country and the old woman was
left with young man named John Hanlon
to take care of the place. A son of the
owner of the house went home yesterday to
see that all was right and detected the odor
OF gas at the old woman's door. He opened
the door and found that gas was flowing
from two fixtures. The old woman was
lying in the bed in an insensible condition.
The young man notified the police and the
wOuld-be suicide was taken to the Rpceiy-
ing Hospital, where she lies in an uncon-
scious condition. She was called "Mary"
by the family. What other name she had
is unknown.

THREW THEM OUT.
But the Chickens Kept Right on Coming
Back.

DR.. 5. G. Martin, Jr., of Arwonaut
Rowing Club fame, told an interesting
incident of an experience of his, saws
the st. Louis Republic while travelling
in California some years ago.
I'VE were stranded in Frisco" said
the doctor, dead broke and ashamed
to write home. Things became des-
perate with us. and at last | decided to
shake the other fellows and strike
out for myself | secured passage on
one of the steamships running be-
tween Frisco and some of the small
places along the coast. for the price Of
my watch, which | sold.
ARRIVING at Il small mining and
timber town I secured a position as
waiter at the Metropolitan hotel, the
only hotel in the camp. an imposing
frame structure. The landlord en-
plOyed me at $40 a week. and charged
me SO week for board. The night
of my arrival myself and German
named Fritz, who was in the same
boat with nue., were slowed away in an
old kitchen, or shed, which had not
been used for some time. About mid
night ! was awakened by Fritz, who
was swearing softly to himself.
"A moment later | discovered the
cause of his annoyance. He had found
the room to be the roostiug place of
the fowls, and was busily engaged
throwing frightened chickens and
ducks out of the window. After he
had been engaged in this manner for
some fifteen minutes, and the place
seemingly as full of fowls as ever. I
Thought to examine into the cause
"On looking out of the window
where Fritz was throwing the fowls |
saw there was an opening for them to
enter just below the window, with a
plank for them to walk up wide
enough for two fowls. Up this plank
in procession, two by two, came the
fowls Fritz was throwing out. AS fast
as they were elected they re-entered
We gave up trying to clear the room
that night, you may be sure, and the
next morning we decamped."

AN ODD FACULTY.
A Jeweier Who Never Forgot tn" poks
of Any Diamond lie Ever Saw.

There is no individuality in dia-
mond saws the \, Y. Commensurate
certiSer Take it from the setting
with which YOU have grown familiar,
place it among Il number of other
stones of the same size and the chances
a"e hundred to one that you will not
be able to pick it out again. Despite
this fact there are some men LONG ac-
customed to the handling OF precious
stones who can remember and recall
one OF them rs easily rs though it were
a human face
\ curious instance, illustrating this
odd faculty, transpired in the Office of
a Maiden lane icweler last Thursday.
Years ago Il now famous American
comedian went to Australia and PLAYED
q lengthy and successful engagement
ia that country. Just before he sailed
homew2rd Dan Mcguire. manager
we'll known in Melbourne in those
days, presented him with = handsome
diamond shirt-stud as souvenir of
the numerous pleasant hours that they
had passed together during his visit.
The comedian wore the jewel for
time after his arrival here and finally
gave it to a boy, one of his distant rel
atives, for Christmas gift after it had
been reset as a ring.
Last Thursday the boy, now grown
to be Il Strapping young man, took the
ring to the Maiden lane ieweler to
have it repaired and handed it over
to a desiccated and .gray-haired little
Enghshman who stood behind the
showcase
He looked long and steadily at the
stone and reminiscent smile curved
his colorleSs lips.
Young man" he said, "WhCu YOU
were rather smaller, by very long
odds than you are now, | sole that
diamond to Dan Mcguire in Mel
| bourne, Australia, and he gave il TO
some Yankee actor" The owner x
! the gem, knowing it's history, was as
| founded. When asked to explain how
he remembered it, the Englishman
| could not, and laid his ability to do so
| TO some mysterious instinct.
I've been jewelcr all my life" he
remarked, land have owned my own
store three times. think that with
out boasting | can recognize every
diamond of every size that ever ham
! died during that period, though how
| manage to do it is as much of a mys-
5ery to me as it is to anybody else. |
have met with other jewelers. who have
the same faculty, but, like me. they
| can't explain it."
