JOHNSON is A REAL CRACKERJACK.
The Amateur Boxer Wins a Good Ring
Fight.
He Disposed of Billy Smith of Austria
liza in Five Rounds, and Did
It Quite Easily.
It was a case of too much Johnson.

| 1t was a case of too much Johnson.
| Either Australian Billy Smith is moi
the great fighter he once was, or else
William Johnson of this city. the we'll
known boxing instructor, is phenome.
non, for last night Johnson disposed OF
| the Australian in five rounds, and with
out very much effort.
The men met for trophy, the match
having been arranged by few of John
sons personal friends, who were anxious
to see what he could do in the ring with
an experienced professional. Johnson
won the State championship In the anna
teur middleweight class some three years
ago, and since then he has grown some
what, being now what is known as a
light heavyweight, in which same class
Smith belongs. All the amateurs Of the
State have kept shy of Johnson since they
saw him win the championship in the
Olympic Clubs quarters in San Fran
cisco, and he has been improving all the
time.
Last nights bout showed that Johnson
is an exceedingly clever man. In the
i've rounds they fought Smith hit him
but few times and did not leave a mark,
while johnson kept smothering his man
with straight eft-hand iabs on the mouth
and nose.
Smith is of the rushing style of fighter,
but In most of his rushes ho found john
sons fist at the end thereof and generally
bumped his nose against IL. A less shifty
tighter than johnson, however, would
have suffered when cornered by Smith,
who Is a game fighter and a wicked
puncher. The trouble with him last
night was that as rule he could not land
his swings on Johnson.
The fight was TO have been one of six
rounds, but in the fifth Johnson knocked
Smith down twice and then through the
ropes. The Australian got up at the end
of seven seconds, but topplod over and
fell through the ropes again and was
counted out.
Smith has good record as a fighter,
especially in Australia, where he stood
Joe Goddard of for ten rounds. He was
seconded last night by Jack Shark ey,
the navy champion, and Soldier Walker
Johnson was seconded by his brother
and Arthur Arnold. J. NJ. Sullivan was
referee Before the fight McGraw and
Birdsall OF the Sacramento Athletic Gu b
gave three-round bout that was exceed
iugly lively, and l.. Payen and L. Mooser
also gave an exhibition.

AMUSEM ENTS

The Metropolitan Theater was crowded
last night by brilliant audience. "Sweet
Lavender" was the play of the evening.
No play has been given here any more
successfully. The Frawley Company
reached high tide in this drama. 1t was
Aot only even excellence all around, but
high excellence Mr.. Ross Lavender,
in It's charming simplicity, had for foil
the bluh, hearty, warm hearted, gener-
Gus Dick Phenyl by Mr. King, and was
in delightful contrast to the sparkling
Minnie of Miss Bates, and the sympa-
thetic and suffering Ruth of Miss Archer.
Mr.. Dutiield made his first appearance
here, taking the part of Wedderburn, and
proving how painstaklng and capable an
artist he is. Mr.. Frawley's Clement was
easy, natural and just enough impas-
stoned. Miss McAllister, Mr.. Leslie and
Mr.. Arbuckle were faultless in the parts
for which they were cast; in snort, it was
an all-around success, and was played
with that intelligent conception OF the
demands of the text that distinguishes
the true artist. "Sweet Lavender will
be given for matinee performance this
afternoon at O'Clock. Tonight the ma
val piece, 1.-The Ensign" for which the
company carries its own special scenery
and all elaborate outfit of stage settings
and wardrobe. 1t is O piece pervaded by
the martial and patriotic spirit, strong in
all its situations and thrilling in its tab
leau. Besides being played this evening
it will be given on Sunday night, which
will be the last appearance OF the COM
pany here for a tuil year. When the
Frawley Company played THE Ensign"
in San Francisco the Chronicle spoke of
the production as q notable dramatic
event, and the Bulletin said of it: "The
Frawley Company at the Colum bia gave

orth's naval five-act drama, The En-
sign,' aud the managers promise that it

MRS DERMAN'S DEATH
Some Facts in Connection Herewith
That Are Peculiar.


That Are Peculiar.
at the inquest held by Coroner Clark
on the body of Mrs. Pauline Derman,
who died at her residence, 2722 NJ street,
Monday afternoon, it was announced that
death was caused by an overdose of laud-
anum. Whether or not she took the poi
son with suicidal intent is matter of con-
lecture, although an empty bottle which
had contained laudanum was found un-
der the mattress of her bed.
On the 10Th of August a man who gave
his name as Smith purchased an ounce of
laudanum at Tufts drug store at Tenth
and j streets, and said he had been sent
for it by woman named Mrs. Dow at
Twenty eighth and NJ streets. After he
left the store the clerk entered the sale of
the drug in the register, from which
these facts were taken.
Whether Smith purchased the poison
for Mrs. Derman, or for the other woman
is not definitely known. The directory
fails to show that q Mrs. Dow lives at
Twenty eighth and NJ streets, but it does
contain the name of Mrs. Pauline Der
man, and that her residence is 2722 NJ
street, which is but a couple OF houses
from the corner of Twenty-eighth street.
A few days ago man went to T. W.
MoAuliffe, the clerk in Tufts drugstore e.,
and requested the latter TO say that it was
not he who purchased the poison, but
that it was Smith. The man who spok @
to McAutiffe said that Smith left the CITY
after Mrs. Derman died, and has not re-
turned

a Beautiful Wagon.

One of the sights III the Pavilion which
everybody admires is the handsome
wagon for Joseph Schamberger's new
weiss brewery. 1t was built by Martin
Kestler of 1912 Ninth street, and is a
model of apparent strength and beauty
in a wagon. The body is rich dark red.
The covered top and the gear are white,
the wheels being of the same color
trimmed with red Of the same shade as
the body. The whole is handsomely var
nished. the top being tastefully lettered
with Scham berger's name and business.
One cannot help admiring the graceful
ness and evident strength of the springs,
which at once suggest easy running and
great durability. 1t is a piece of work in
which the max or may well take pride.

1t is little wonder that the exhibit of
II. Wachhorst, the pioneer jeweler of
Sacramento. is attracting such attention
III the north wing of the Pavilion up
stairs. Mr.. Wachhorst does not attempt
TO make any general display to illustrate
the attractiveness and variety of the stock
ofjewelry in his store at 3l5 street, but
merely makes an exhibit of the cele-
brsted Regina music boxes. which are
already in many q Sacramento home.
Mr.. Wachhorst is the only person in this
section who imports the music boxes di-
rect from the factory, and 1t naturally
stands TO reason thai he can offer the best
terms. Beside. he has skilled machinists
in his employ. vino thoroughly under

and those who buy from him will be as
sured OF having them always in good re-
pair. The 'kegina" is a beautiful in
strument made OF the very best available
material and finished with skill and care.
They are of American manufacture, and
in sweetness of tone excel any music box
now on the market. The range of keys
far exceeds that of a piano, the tunes
played almost innumerable, and withal
they are gems in the way of musical in

Editorial! Was Shy.

The shortest editorial page on rec
ord, according tc the Press and Prin-
ter was that which appeared in the
Cincinnati Enquirer on a memorable
July day many years ago when Wash
ington Mclean owned the paper and
employed six editorial writer's who
furnished six columns Of matter daily
on current events. The editorial ii
question was the only Que which up
peared on that particular day and it
read: yesterday was the Fourth OF
July" It is explained that on the
evening Of that memorial tourtn, the
editorial writer's repaired to a saloon
to get o cooling drink, n just as
thew were lined up for business Mr..
Mclean UNEXPECTEDLY entered. They
oil expected dismissal on the spot, but
much to their surprise their employer
invited them to drink with him n
| kept them at il, threatening to dis
! charge the first man who refused. The
| result was that five Of them were rem
dered unable to return to q office
and the one who escaped was only
able. before succnmbing like his fell
lows. to write the single sentencn.
yesterday was the Fourth of July
This appeared solitary and alone IN
the editorial columns next morning
That evening Nc. Mclean is said tc
have received a host OF letters from
readers telling him how much they
appreciated the change and the result
was that the SIX editorial writer's were
given otner work TO do and new:
filled the space usually allotted to the
product of their pens.
