The Son Of the Great Troubadour First Over

The nineteenth of the long line of honored
winners of the Kentucky derby was crowned
yesterday and his name is Lookout. He won it
grandly. leading his field from start to finish
and sweeping under the wire untouched by
whip or spur, and with his noble neck arched
under strong pull. Troubadour. the winner
Of the big eastern handicap and the conqueror
Of the Bard and every other good horse Of his
day, can look upon his young son with pride,
as one who adds glory even to his honored
name.
Plutus made a noble struggle for the prize,
but it was not in his weaker nature to beat the
son of the Troubadour. Boundless, under whip

ON A ROOF WITH AN EPILEPTIC

Terrible Struggle of Five Men i'm Buffalo
Chloroform Wins the Day.
While Albert Aminer was painting a sign OF
the seven-story Howard building in Buffalo
yesterday afternoon he was taken with an
epileptic fit.
People in the street were attracted by his
strange actions, and rome men proceeded al
once to the top Of a neighboring stable. from
which it was thought he could be rescued by
means Of a ladder. When they reached the
roof they found that Aminer by some means
had lowered himself to the stable roof.
The question of getting him TO background
was puzzling. Finally he was tied to an ambu-
lance stretcher. and the painters tackle was ar
ranged so as to lower him to the ground At
this moment the man began to struggle so wildly
that II was deemed unsafe to lower him and he
was unstrapped. He was then taken TO a little
opening in the roof. from which it was proposed
to make the descent by means Of an insecure
ladder.
As they began to carry him down he suddenly
hurled the five men away from him and rushed
to the edge of the roof. The thrilling scene
which followed was witnessed by hundreds in
the streets below. The Ave men were unable to
hold him. Several times he almost precipitated
himself and them to the ground.
The crowd on the ground grew wildly ex.
cited. At last a physician soaked some cotton
in chloroform, and when the man succumbed
he was lowered to the street. His condition il
critical.

"Harry Gilfoil's" Perfect limitation DE.
ceived the Humane Ladies of Philadelphia
The manager of "A Trip to Chinatown" now
in Philadelphia. received yesterday a letter
from the president of the Woman's Branch O,
the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals, in which mention was made
of a complaint received of cruel treatment ad
ministered to kitten in the performance Of
that farce.
"We understand" the letter went on, THAT
the kitten is brought upon the stage and swung
around by the tail and by one paw and that il
cries piteously."
The society's representative, who delivered
the letter, was taken behind the scenes. where
he learned that the 'piteous cry" at the end
of the first act is an imitation given by Harry
Gilfoil Frank Graft of this city,. and that the
kitten which Burt Haverly swings by the tai
when he rusnes on the stage at that time is 9

Whereupon the representative of the society
said: The laugh is on us. but 1 think it would
be good idea to say on your program, This i.

Joseph Francis, news Of whose death was tele-
graphed to yesterdays STAR. was born In Bos-
ton, March II, 1901. He was eleven wears old
when he conceived the idea Of building life
boat. The venture was the first that had been
attempted and it was a success. Few men have
been accorded the honors which he subsequently
received as his inventions took more and more
useful form.
He was knighted by the Emperor Napoleon,
who also gave him gold snuff box which bears
the imperial initial and crown set in blue enamel
and formed by eighty-six diamonds, valued at
IL, 500 francs.
The Emperor of Austria also crowned him
with honors after an exhibition Of his boat at
Vienna and after q similar exhibition in Rus

Emperor Alexander III conferred upon Mr..
Francis the badge Of the knighthood Of Saint
| Stanisaus. Medals Of honor and diplomas Of
merit were presented to the young inventor
everywhere.
A $1,000 gold medal was also presented to
him in this country two years ago by an act Of
| Congress.
He was requested by the Secretary of the
Navy to go to Portsmouth navy yard and build
wooden Hfeboats tor the frigate Santee and the
battle ship Alabama. He obtained great repu-
tation for the construction of life-saving appli-
ances. OF the liieboats the first that he made

On the Heels of His Defeat His Earnings
of Years Are Swept Away.


NEW YORK, May 11.-When misfortune over
takes pugilist it generally appears to come all
in q heap. If not in all cases, such is the case
with Joe Goddard, the Australian boxer When
the Australian first landed in frisco he saw
nothing but gold staring him in the face. "I'll
be blowed if this amt Gods country" he was
heard to remark.
For a while Goddard was very lucky in his
half dozen fights. and by careful saving he
managed to lay up quite snug sum that he
hoped some day to invest in hotel in Sidney.
After each fight he would Immediately send his
winning to Australia. where it was placed in a
bank for safe keeping. Everything went along
smoothly for the barrier champion till he struck
up against Denver Smith. who managed to get
the decision over him after hard struggle.
Goddard took his defeat to heart. His re-
verse at the hands of Smith was the first he had
sustained in his most remarkable pugilistic ca
reer. As a rule. Joe always backed himself
very heavily and, as result. lost several thou
sand dollars on the fight. In addition to being
a defeated man and in a bad way physically, he
received word a few days ago from his attorneys
in Australia informing him that the bank in
which he had placed all his money-something
like go, 000-had failed. What makes 1t par
ticularly hard is the fact that Goddard made
every dollar Of his money either by fighting or
in the street contracting business. Not only is
he now down in the world Of pugilism by rea-
son of his defeat but he is a ruined man finan-
cially. Goddard says he will start all over
again to build up another fortune by punching
other ''pugs" heads.
