dropped to the floor frequently to avoid

Lyons had the better of the third round.
Beckett, owing TO poor condition, was
pumped after the second round and could
not deliver the goods that he intended
Lyons smashed him some hard ones on
the mouth by shifting tactics. The fourth
was hot stuff. Lyons good condition
stood him In WELL and he certainly had all
the best OF the final bout. He was given
the decision.
In the second prelminaries of the ban

Charles Reno Of the San Francisco Ath-

landed the most clean blows, although
Reno was the aggressor. The fourth was

way in which he danced and worked his
arms in front of his opponent. Stern took
matters easy and let Spanger do all the
leading and funny work. Spanger struck
several blows with open fist. In the
fourth round Spanger almost fought him
self TO a standsiill by striking wild at his
opponent. By taking a few months les
sons from a competent instructor he would
make a great boxer. He was given the
decision.
Frank Gilbert. Olympic Club. and Mat

was wild and woody slogger, who looked
every inch a hard game. In .he firstround
he landed wild swing on Gilberl's neck,

THE CABLE BROKE.
Gripmen of the Castro-Street Cars
SIeeD Out.


The breaking of the rope on the Castro
street cable system west of Valencia street
last night, a few minutes before s O'Clock,
compelled the cessation of further opera
tions for the night. no cars being run over
the line thereafter.
The break could not be repaired. and it
was found that new rope would have to
be put IN. 1t is expected that the cars will
be running as usual this morning.
The conductors were released from
further duty after o'clock, but the grip
men were not so fortunate. They were
required to stay with the cars which had to
remain over night at various points. The
men found the cars far different sleeping
apartments than their usual comfortable
beds, but had to be content with the i'm
provised place of abode. Two cars were
allowed to come together for cOmpany's
sake. and the gripmen put in the night as
best they could. making their couches on
the benches. The other branches of the
MaTket-street system were unaffected by
the parting of the CastrO-street rope. it
being a system by itself.

smashed him on mouth or face. Fox had

WITH A FALSE BOTTOr1.
An Old Trick Tried in Smuggling
Opium

On the last trip of the steamer Walla
Walla from Victoria there was shipment

effects went to the Appraisers office, and
on examination one of the trunks con-
tanning wearing apparel was found to be
shallower on the inside than it was on the
outside. A tap on the main deck of the
trunk revealed hollow sound. The false
bottom was removed, and beneath 1t was
found sixty pounds OF prepared opium.

The reported voyage of the steam
whaler Newport up to the eighty.
fourth parallel, and within sig degrees
of the North Pole, is sufficiently note.
worthy to excite comment. The story
is reported by the steamer Ieaunie. OF
the Arctic whaling feet, which lately
arrived at San Francisco. The report
is to the effect that the Newport had
wintered at Herschel Island, a small
island of the coast OF North America
west of the mouth Of the Mackenzie
River. Aided by sea remarkably
free from ice she sailed northward ia
the pursuit of whales until the high
latitude indicated above was reached.
Here the ice barrier hindered further
progress but 1t II intimated that had

Poverty and Luxury.

Little Giri-Was your folks Door
when you were little girl?
Grandma-We thought we were. nv
dear. We were pioneer farmers and
lived in log cabin, but it was large
and comfortable. The floors were
warmly carpeted. We had plenty to
eat and plenty to wear. But we raised
everything ourselves and made our
own cloth. We had no money to 90
to the stores, even if we had been
near any, and so we felt very. very
poor. There were two things we were
all fond of, and oh, how we longed for
them, and how we wished we conId
afford them, but we couldn't, and if
made us feel very miserable to be so
poor. These two things were salt
mackerel and store molasses.
Little Girl-O-O-oh! Whv. what
did you have to eat, then?
Grandma-Nothing but beef. NUT
ton, chickens, venison, quail, squirrels.
wild ducks, brook trout and such
things, and as for molasses, we hadn't
anything but maple syrup.

Then the dagger falls from his hand;

tickles from his nostrils. He is dead.
With maniacal cry of delight the
prisoner staggers to his feet, blood
streaming down his breast and head
over his rough prison clothes.
He attempts to reach the door, but
his strength fails him completely. He

With a scream he falls lifeless across

awful force upon the hard stone floor
of the cell.
But what of the pins
The prisoner had been in the habit
before lying down to sleep of fastening
the four pins to the left cuff of his
blouse, as he so often did before.
The fear of detection SO operated on
his mind that one night, in a fit of
somnambulism, he had put the pins
side by side in the edge of the garment
and there they were afterward found,
and commented upon by the authorities
of the prison.-BufaLO NelOs.

Increase of Divorce.

I'VE have no hesitation" says the
Chicago Interior (Pres. }, "in charging
the increase of divorce to the lowered
tone of popular reading and to the
shameless parade everywhere of the
nude In art. Appetites and passions
that need the strong curb Of conscience
and the restraint of pronounced pub.
lie opinion are not repressed, but ex.
cited, by much of the literature of the
day, whose chief recommendation is in
animalism. In prose and verse Zola
and Whitman set the pace, and are
applauded despite of or by reason of
their uadisguised bestiality. Writers
scarcely less gross and not a whit more
moral are found upon the tables of
professedly Christian households. Deli.
cate phrases by which to thinly disguise
deadly sins become familiar 10 the
minds Of youth, and are accepted as
sufficient apology for the harboring of
foul imaginations. We expurgate
Horace but bind swlnburne In white
and gold and translate Beranger. Not
for hundred years has the literature
IN the hands aud homes of English
speaking people been so sensual and
degrading as it is to-day. Is It anv
wonder that life becomes corrupt In
deed as well as in imagination, and on
every side we see homes broken more
sorrowfully. than by deathP"
