49, 1891, for purse Of 100 soyereigns,
put up by the Sydney Amateur 0ymnastlc
Club and the Ioathcr-welght championship OF
tho world. Public opinion appeared to no
fairly divided. but whilo all knew that the
champion was good one, stlll there were
many tales from Melbourne OF hard training
AID u determination to succeed on tho part
of Mu-ns,, whilst Il was known that he was
resolved 10 make desperate struggle TO
secure his lost tito and scoop the purse OF
gulneas. Betting was oven outside and lot
Of money was staked on the event so that 0d-
ditional interest was attracted 10 the contest.
Twenty-Five rounds were fought when Muir
ply, who was all but COMO. foulcd Grlllo. aud
tho referee stopped the fight and declared
Critic tho winner. Murphy announced that
his right hand had given way and was either
broken or seriously injured. In tho COURSE OF
his remarks The yanqulshcd Billy was under
stood TO say that Critic would make a fortune
II he travelled round tho world; That he
thought Critic was q wonder and that he would
not mind travelling anywhere with him, He
expressed himself fully satisfied and declared
that Critic was tho bciior man.
Since Critic arrived In America he has en-
gagged in no finish fights. He fought ten
rounds With George Languc, the Saginaw KID,
IN Chicago, but he never trained and still held
his own. His next battle WIS ton round
contest with Iko Weir, the Belfast spider,
who at ono timo was looked upon as the

champion TO crack, and not a few. II mny he
added, invested the sovereign OF civilization
on the young man from the country. As IL
turned on, the AFFAIR was no "glft' for the
local man, and he certainly had more trouble
In dishlng up Powell than no ever had with
any other man. In the ond. however, superb
science and a constitution that does not know
tho meaning OF tho word "fatguo" enabled
him TO come through triumphantly. In tho
twentieth round Powell tottercd up and got a
heavy right, and Immediately afterward
seemed to fall without blow Critic launched
at him reaching him. Upon this the rcfercc
jumped into the ring and awarded the fight
to Griiio. declaring that Powell had fallen
without blow. This decision was received
with loud shouts Of disapproval, hut the ref
eree was firm and adhered to his award.
There is not tho least doubt that the better
man won; In fact, Powell admitted aiterward
that Critic was more than match for him.
II Powell had been allowed 70 fight another
round Grino most certainly would have
knocked him out. Grifio's next battle was
with Billy Murphy Of Australia, who came
TO this country and won the ieather-wolght
championship. The men fought on July

at him. and told him TO 20 ahead, but soon
was astonished at his prowess and skill, as
he shot elephants elk, deer, bison, glrahes,

DR.. James Johnston crossed the continent
from Bonguela on the west coast to the
mouth OF the Zambesi on the east coast,
1900 miles, in twenty-one months, and made
close study of certain portions, besides
having to carry his point by sheer force OF his
winchesters.
The capture Of Timbuctoo. that mysterious
city, first visited by Iaihg In 1925, and who
was killed just after leaving it, has revealed
the truths told by Reve Caille and Barth
though both were not believed at first. The
French have beaten the Tonaregs, those
desert banditti, which resemble our Apache
Indians. They captured the city. which has
decreased from 10000 population to less than
5000.
There are hundreds Of Intelligent men who
are exploring, mapping, picturlng, photo
graphing, describing and analyzing Africa.
The Dark Continent is under the glass, and
is being surveyed in microscopic manner.
The next nifty years, nay the next ten years,
will show such wondrous improvements in
the continent as no nation has ever seen be-
fore. The only parallel to It's expansion and
enlightenment will be that OF the region west
Of the Mississippi since the explorations Of
Fremont, the pathfinder. As inst as discoy-
cries are made, and new regions explored.
the intrepid missionaries are ready to ad-
vance aud hold the field, and there are COM
mercial enterprises following hard after. The
light cast upon Africa to-day is in strange
contrast TO the days when Livingstone was
shut up in the "outer darkness" Of great
and unknown continent.

$4,000 in her own right, was both prom
inent and popular. She had known DR..
Courtenay for a long time and he had
become infatuated with either her
money or her beauty. Courtenay, how
ever, was married and trouble with his
wife followed as natural consequence.
Miss Schilling, in order to evade the
mans unwelcome attentions, went to
live with a friend, Mrs. Lewig, at APO
Aads avenue.
On the day of the shooting Courtenay
called at Mr.. Lewig's home and per-
suaded Miss Schilling to see him. AL
most as soon as she appeared he drew
a revolver and fired three shots, only
one of which took effect. The wound
was not serious, but Miss Schilling sank
to the ground in a faint and Courtenay,
apparently under the impression that
he had killed her. turned the weapon
on himself. He almost succeeded in
killing himself, but recovered after
spending several weeks in the hospital.
Since his removal to the Jail 1t is
thought Courtenay has been feigning
insanity.
Courtenay and his wife have become
reconciled recently and she was in court
yesterday when the case was called.
Miss Schilling was also there and at
tracted good deal of attention.

The Prisoner at Chicago Admits That
He Is the Nan Desired.
HE ACTED AS BAKERS DUPE

Tired of Dodging Officers and Is
Willing to BE Placed in the
Hands of His Friends.
BY the United Press.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-After realizing that
further denial was useless, Samuel c.
Seely, the detaulting bookkeeper of the
National Shoe and Leather bank of
New York, this morning admitted to
the police that he was the man.
1t was 1890 o'clock when Seely made
up his mind that it was useless to at
tempt to conceal his identity. He told
Inspector Shea that he was ready to
tell the truth.
well, what is it?" asked Inspector
Shea.
Il am Seely; 1 am the man you
want"
81 was sure of it all the time. Have
you anything further to say?"
Nothing except that want to be put
in the hands of my friends in New York.
1t is no use holding out when the game
is up. ] thought this matter over last
night and came to the conclusion that
the best thing would be to make clean
breast of 1t. / acted as dupe for Bak'

but it's done now and it's all over, and
perhaps 1t is just as well. It's a tire
some business always lodging and
never having friend and being afraid
to see face you know"
AS the Shoe and Leather bank is a
national bank, the federal authorities
will take a hand in the prosecution of
Seely. United States Marshal Arnold
this morning received a telegram from
Marshal Mccarthy, of New York, ask
ing that Seely be taken in custody by
federal authority and held until officers
from New York could reach Chicago.
Seely was taken to the Harrison
street station, where he will await the
arrival of the New York officers de-
tailed by Inspector Mclaughlin, of that
city, to take him back.
Inspector Shea has received the fol-
lowing telegram from Inspector Nc
Laughlin, of New York: Mr.. Crane
president of the Shoe and Leather bank,
leaves on the o'clock train today to
identify Seely. l hold bench warrants
for grand larceny and forgery. If
identified wire viii forward warrants
at once. (SigneD William Mclaughlin
Inspector Shea will not let newspaper
men see Seely because he has asked
that they be kept away, as he has moth.
ing to say to them and would only be
annoyed by their inquiries.
Seelys arrest was the direct result OF
his own loquacity. While under the in
fluence of liquor he told II. E. Mac Far
land, a man with whom he became ac
quainted by chance that he was Seely
who had taken $354,OOO from a New
York bank.
Just how long Seely has been il
Chicago is not known. He and Mac
Farland went frequently to the races
where Seely generally lost money.
