not fight south of the Mason and Dixon
line because he believes prejudice against
his color would initiate against his sccur-
Ing fair play. North of the great national
geographical color line there Is no club Mt
present that can pull Off such contest
The men can undoubtedly meet before an
English club, but there are two objections
to this plan. The English clubs will not
offer SO largo n purse as could be secured
in America, and Corbctt apparently wishes
to fight his championship battle on Amer
lean soil.
Despite Jackson's belief to the contrary,
there is no doubt that he would receive
perfectly fair play before the Olympic club
of New Orleans or the club at jackson,
willie, Fla
Corbctt expressed his opinion of jackson
just before he sailed to three men who had
an interest in his stake when he fought

Doubts rs to Their Utility to the Farmcl
Difficulties of the Plan.

Doubts rs to Their Utility to the Farmer.
Difficulties of the Plan.
An experiment in road reform is to
be tried in Ohio which will be watched
with interest by the entire country. The
electric roads in the cities of two coun-
ties are to be extended into the sur
rounding country and the trucks so con-
structcd that horse vehicles can run on
them. The farmers of thuse counties
will thus have the benefit of steel roads
instead uf dirt roads. The theoretical
gain will BE- enormous, for, according to
a European writer who has Investigated
the subject, a horse can draw just ten
times rs much over a steel track rs
over an ordinary road. The ordinary
European road, be il remembered. is con-
siderably better than the ordinary Amer
lean road Whether the actual gain will
DO as great as this, or indeed anything
Mt all, is another question
II tine electric roads are employed to
carry freight as well as passengers, and
that seems 10 be part of the plan, the
road will be moderately well filed with
electric cars. The horse will be contin-
ually compelled to turn out for the more
swiftly moving cars and will not get
much benefit from the track. Then. too.

horse vehicles will 10 less advantageous
to the promoters, and il tho enterprise
should prove successful in the vicinity
of large towns il would hardly he prac-
ticable in purely rural districts, for il
could not be profitable to extend electric
roads so or 100 miles into the country.
These are some of the difficulties in the
way of the success Of the proposed plan.
In spite of them it may succeed. and il
will at least be advantageous to the resl
of the country to have Ohio experiment

Horses haven't any souls. and when
they die that's the end of them.
What if bad roads do keep the young

Then the old man. Isn't he better
Off at homo with the women folks than
to be in town Arranging around a sa-
loon? And then don't he get plenty of
rest when the roads are bad? What more
do you want?
Suppose he could market his crops
when the prices were the highest?
Wouldn't he spend the money and be
just rs hard mp as ever?
Then suppose he could make q sum-
mer resort of his farm. Wouldn't his
boys get big notions into their heads and
be too high toned for the farm? And
wouldn't the women folks want to wear
their Sunday clothes every day in the
week and put ON such airs that there
would be no living with them?
Then wouldn't the old man have to
keep ON building additions to his house
to accommodate the crowds of city folks
who would ovcrrun the place, tramp
down the grass, drink all the milk, eat
all the berries, fruit, eggs, chickens and

Then wouldn't he have to be putting
money in the bank and a-buying stocks

late and lose all he had, and thereby
bring misery down ON his family.

Gas Leak in Lynn Building
Causes the Accident.

tBy Associated irets.D
LYNN. Mass, July 2l.-Two men were
seriously and perhaps fatally injured
and three others severely hurt by an
explosion Of water gas in the Strout
Building, on Union street, about 4 o'clock
this morning. The building, which is a
six-story brick structure, was badly
damaged, and the loss will be about
$4,000.
A water gas break was discovered in
the block about $50 and the alarm given.
r.. T.. StrOut, the owner of the building,
arrived quickly, and with Policemen
Arthur Wells and Thomas Cryan, Watch
man Eben Nagles and Fireman Samuel
ceeded to the offices of the Lynn Elec-
Gated.
Nagles carried a lantern, and AS socn
as he stepped into the offices a loud eX-
plosion occurred. All of the men were
knocked down and covered with glass
and debris. Every window In the build
Ing was blown out, and most of the par
titions on the floor where the explosion
occurred were demolished. Another po-
liceman, seated in the patrol wagon in
front of the building. was blown ACROSS
the street, but escaped serious injury
All OF the injured men were removed
to the hospital, where IT is thought that
Wells and Strout may be fatally in
Jured. Both are badly cut and burned.
and have sustained internal Injuries
The others are cut and burned: but no
serious results are anticipated. The fire
was extinguished without trouble.
