a choking sound in his throat he clutched
at his inside pocket, leaped from the plat

Central avenue like maniac, oyerturnlng

mad leaps, crushed a woman's bonnet box
and knocked the breath out Of Cleveland

"Will no one stop that train!' he walled
as he fought with the turnstile tender at
the gate, and at last, hurting him back
against the grating, plunged through the

The Chinese millionaire is actuated
by interest as well as patriotism, for he
has built up considerable trade with
the western nations and hopes to greatly
extend it by display of what China has

Paris, where he has established profit

Dipthsria Raging in the Interior Of The
etate.
A messenger from Braxton county,
West Va, in the interior, brings news
OF the terrible epidemic Of diphtheria
prevailing in the country districts.
The disease first broke ont among the
children Of three schools, and was car
ried by them all over the district.
The country IS thinly settled and
there has been terrible suffering. Ply
licians and nurses could not be secured
and undertakers could scarcely be
found to bury the dead.
Upto date there have deem 30Odeatls
and many more are sick.
All efforts to check the disease have
50 far proved fruitless, though strict
quarantine measures as possible are
used. The situation is very grave.

Judge Gresham, according TO the

Some people have wondered whether

would be able to withstand the force of q
heavy windstorm. A visit to the top of
the mopumen would dissipate all fear on
this SCORE. The figure is riveted together
and fastened to its base by q system
of spowerful braces. and the entire
metallic structure IS anchored to the
monument itself by sixteen large iron rods.
These rods are let into groo yes in the siaes
of the monument. keyed together by mass

the top. where they are firmly imbedded In
the stonework. When completed it is esti-
mated that the figure will withsta nd @

sides of the monument will be supplied
with water from q driven we'll 270 feet deep

Sparring Match at Mozart Hall Called OF
After the Second Round.

In these hot days of Democratic machine
politics the prize fighter Is q man of no con-
sequence to the machine, for he is unable
TO pay the heavy assessments that the gam
bling dives pay. At Mozart Hall. last
night. was q very tame sparrIng exhibit
tion. and the machine decided to make a
bid for the respectable vote by closing the
exhibition almost before q hard blow had
been struck. AS a Democrat explained it
TO q lew OF the Democratic sports who
were grumbling afterwards: You see.
boys, the campaign Is on, and we have TO
make a little bluff in order to keep the
tony gang In line for Sullivan" At the
time the chips were rafting around the
corner in q crap dive that the machine al
lows TO run,
Sergeant Kurtz acted as the referee last
night. and. before the third round between
Charles Vokes and Wiley Evans had been
finished. he called the fight Oft despite the
mild protests OF the sports who were giving
the exhibition. The event was advertised
as a glove contest, III which Evans, who Is
d cOlored man. claiming 10 hail from Cali
fornIa. was 10 best the other man In eight
rounds. The police sergeant offered no
reasons for interfering. but. as there were
six or eight more policemen in the room,
there was no effort TO appeal from his de.
cIsIon.
About one hundred sports were pres
ent. "Perfesser' Vokes made q lengthy
speech In the beginning. IN which no
landed the manly art" and told about
the people who were hurt In football
matches. but came out OF a prize fight
unscathed. Then two very dusky youths,
introduced as SNOWFALL and Brickville,
numbered about the ring and dealt each
other clumsy blows. Brickville had a deli
cate walk. however. and showed much
-springiness In his feet and white teeth in
his face. Snow ball was the quicker of the
two. and he made several Brighton Beach
passes thar ended on various parts of Brick
ville's anatomy. John OConner and FRI
day Clark spared for three rounds and
showed cl~everness. No attempts were
made TO give heavy blows.
Evans and Vokes closed rhe evenings
programme. john Morgan consented to
act as referee. although be was deposed bg
the police before the fight was well under
way. In the first round Evans easily
tapped the man who wore the star spangled
trunks whenever he pleased. and the pstri-
otloaily clad man occasionally gave q con-
sumptive cough. Evans had the best of &c
