THE LAW INEFFECTIYE.
Tecas authorities Differ, Hoscerer, as to
GiOge Contests.

GtOCe Contests.
PARIS, TEX, Aug. S.-The best legal
talent in Texas hold the law applica-
bic to glove contests to be ineffective. The
State authorities differ and the Governor
went so far as to issue a proclamation
aimed at the proposed Corbett- Fitzsimmons
mill. Other authorities hold it to be a
question that nobody can fortell after the
publication of the revised code now in
process of revision. THE CALL cor
respondent to-day called upon the State
codifier, Hon. Nathaniel P. Jackson, who
placed himself upon record in the follow
ing when he said:
81 have been asked often lately what l
intended to do about including in the new
publication of the State laws, the appar-
emily conflicting enactment of 1891, de-
nonncing prize-fghting as an offense, and
the earlier one authorizing the issue of
license by the Controller / am invested
with no discretionary power as codifier to
determine which are operative statuets.
My duties are plainly set forth. They are
in no degree revisory. l do not construe
the provision to authorize me to determine
doubtful cases. l shall conform to the law,
emitting those expressly repealed, pub
fishing those in doubt, as this case, and
leave it for the courts to strike out one or
the other. Beyond this what could l do
about it? Including or emitting the
statutes would never affect the law nor the
fight. To publish an unconstitutional law
would not const1tutionalize it, nor could
the omission of valid law defeat it, nor
does the validity of the law depend upon
its being published in codified form. Ii it
did Dan Stewart would have 'cinch.' as
the time would have come and gone before
the publication of my revised CODE"

, Battle WITH PICKPoCKETs.
Detectives Had Hard Fight With the
Light Fingered Gentry.

u
Light Fingered Gentry.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. S.-Two fierce
riots, in which one man was fatally injured
and others were so badly hurt as to re-
quire the services of ambulance surgeons,
were the result of the endeavors of Gen.
tral station Office detectives to arrest the
pickpockets who followed in the wake of a
parade through the Ninth Ward tonight.
1t was a fight for life with the detectives,
for as soon as they laid hands on the pick
pockets they were bounced on by the
friends of the criminals. Bricks. clubs,
fists and feet were used to fight off the de-
tectives, and in one instance forty detec-
tives were tightly hemmed in. Their as
sailants were not quelled by pistol shot
fired into the air.
This demonstration only redoubled the
fury of the pickpockets to escape, and the
detectives dragged the prisoners into a
streetcar, which was all but demolished by
the missiles hurled at it before the driver
understood the situation, and whipping up
his horses managed to drive through the
bowling mob of rioters. Over a score of
detectives and their prisoners were badly
injured.

HAMLIN'S PAGER BEATEN
Jack Curry Guided the King
of the Turf to the
Victory.
WENT LIKE A DOUBLE TEAM.
1t Took Four Heats to Decide the
Superiority of Patchen Wilkes
Game Son.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. S.-For the
third time this year Joe Patchen defeated
Robert ]. To-day the game son of Patchen
Wilkes convincingly demonstrated his
superiority over the little, keen-sprung
PAGER, and as result Hamlin's champion
will be retired from the track until he
regains his old form.
1t was truly battle royal, but one in
which Jack Curry had all the best of the
argument. In the two fastest heats he sat
in the sulky as immoyable as a statue
when the horses were fighting it out in the
homestretch, while Geers worked like a
demon and dashed Robert with the whip
time and time again. The track was in
the finest possible condition and only a
moderate wind was blowing against the
horses on the homestretch.
Village Farm money made Robert J a
favorite at odds of to in the first heat,
while Patchen sold at to 5. In the toss
for the pole Patchen won. On the second
score the two went away neck and neck.
Like a double team they paced to the
three-quarters, when Geers pulled out.
But Curry called upon Patchen and the
great stallion responded promptly. Into
the homestretch they came with -Patchen
half length ahead. Geers took to the
whip, but it was of no avail, as Patchen
was going well within his speed. Time,
2:041l.
The second heat was simply a repetition
of the first, but in the third heat Patchen
fell back at the three-quarter pole. Robert
gained lead of two lengths going
around the last turn, but Patchen came up
on the outside and finished in a dead heat
though the judges gave the heat to
Robert J.
In the fourth heat both horses broke at
the first furlong pole. Patchen recovered
first and took a good lead down the back
stretch. Robert ] came on even terms at
the lower distance stand and fell back and
broke into a run, at which gait he finished
the mile out.
Alliance won the deciding heat in the
unfinished 2:16 trot and Falkland finally
did the same in the 2:23 class. The other
races, save the three-year-old trot, were
sharply contested.

Ns' Time, 2:o9i4-2:ii-2:l21s- 3:i41Na:1s
TERRE HAUTE, IND, Aug. SIT was
nearly dark to-day when Rubenstein took
the third and winning heat in the 2:07
pace, which had been expected to be sem
sational event, but which had but two
starters, Rubenstein and Coastman.
Rubenstein behaved badly, dancing after
the manner of Flying Jib, and this de-
layed the conclusion of the race. A large
proportion of the 5000 persons who went to
the grounds remained to see the end, there
being chance for Coastman to win, be-
cause it was thought his competitor was
not right. The second heat was paced in
2:071S. and Coastman finished with his
nose at Rubenstein's shoulder, which
made his mile virtually a second faster
than his record. Close observers were of
the opinion that Coastman could have gone
in 2:O5.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. S.-To-day was
Harlem's first attempt at racing since the
Civic Federation forced the tracks to close.
The management announced that there
would be no bookmaking or pooling. In
spite of this pleasing fiction five hand
books were run in the betting-ring and did
ing the information that all persons at
tempting to place bet would be elected
from the track, did not brighten any of the
bettors among the 600 spectators. If the
man was known the nod was sufficient;
otherwise cash was required, with the ex-
PLANTATION that ''the money had to be tele-
graphed out of town." This was not done
in a single instance. Ali bets were imme-
diately paid upon the announcement of
the result. The racing itself was fair, the
third event being SO holly contested that a
blanket would have covered the first three
horses from post to finish.

Il UNIT FOE FREE COINAGE.
Er- Governor Hauser of Montana SPEAKS
for the Northwest.

for the Northwest.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. S.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Samuel r. Hauser of Montana was
at the Fifth-avenue Hotel yesterday. lie
says that the great Northwest is unit for
the free coinage of silver.
Speaking of the question he said: lire
spective of party lines nearly every voter
of the Northwest, perhaps every voter, is
for free and unlimited coinage OF silver.
All the Democrats like President Cleye-
land and admit that he has made an excel
lent chief executive, but they are emphat-
ically and perpetually opposed to his
money ideas"
When Hauser was asked about the third
term talk and who the choice of the West
would be for the Democratic nomination
he said:
''As / said before President Cleveland s
ideas on the money question put him be-
yond the pale SO far as the West is con-
cerned. Tie Democrats out there, and the
Republicans also for that matter, are in
favor of Don Cameron, the Senator from
Pennsylvania, for the nomination. If he
should get the nomination on either ticket
he would sweep the West from end to
end"

An Athletic Piano Player.

London has hud a new sensation in
the amusement" line. A continental
virtuoso named Berg has had an en-
gagement at the Royal Aquarium,
where he played the piano for thirty
hours or more at stretch. Berg is
quite an athlete in appearance. He is
tall and strongly built, and gets
through his task with apparent ease.
The conditions under which he plays
require extraordinary powers of en-
durance and memory. There has to
be no break in the music. He keeps
his seat during the whole period of the
task, playing with one hand while he
feeds himself with the other. He
drinks beef tea and eats light sand.
wiches at regular intervals and takes
an occasional Whit of cigarette. All
the time one hand or the other is
pounding the keys. Berg's repertory
is quite extensive and embraces many
difficult pieces. Mendelssohn, Mo.
zart. Beethoven, Weber, Schubert,
glide one into the other, and some
times the latest music hall ditties fol-
low pathetic sonatas. Berg confesses
to weariness at times during his per.
formance and says he keeps up by
sheer force of will. His selections
number 400 and it is great mental
strain to remember them all. When
he feels Growsy he drinks strong cof
fee or tea. He says he had no special
training for the feat. He gave his first
piano recital at the age of five, and had
prac::ced ten hours a day regularly
when not engaged in these exhibitions
of endurance and skill. Chicago

Two young officers of the guard the

ceeded short distance when one Of
them missed his pocketbook and,
thinking that he might have left it in
the restaurant where he and his friend
had lunched returned and asked po-
litely if any one had seen it. The
proprietor himself IA millionaire) came
on the scene, and, after giving ex.
preston to some Objectionable re.
marks, said that it might well be
doubted whether the young officer
possessed such an article as a pocket
book. The officer complained to the
police and ultimately the matter
reached the Prefect, who, regarding
it as an insult to the Imperial uniform,
caused the restaurant to be at once
locked up, the doors sealed, and pro.
hibits the proprietor from longer

Sanitary Value Of Hot Ten.

Tea taken hot. is certainly more
wholesome than iced tea. This is
we'll shown by the enormous popu.
lation of China, which could never
have increased to its present mum.
beIs If epldemics had ravaged that
Empire as they have those of the
West In spite of overcrowding 10
a degree elsewhere unknown and in.
describably filthy surroundings, the
Chinese have remained healthy. The
only sanitary redeeming feature OF
their lives is the almost universal
use of tea a beverage. This is to
say, Of water that has been boiled.
This lesson in practical sanitation is
of more value than anything brought
forth by our numerous boards Of
health, national, state, or municipal.
In the presence of an epidemic of
cholera, typhoid fever or dysentery,
the wisest precaution to take against
infection would be to boil all fluids
used for drinking purposes.

that the platform was being gradually
raised off the ground by the top layer
of bricks, which had protruded above
the ground, and before the end of the
year had repeated the operation
twelve different times, moving not less
than two feet of the wall. Since the
spring of 1891 the we'll has been en-
tirely abandoned, the water having
become unfit for use on account of
some obnoxious gas escaping into it,
and which can be smelled at distance
of 100 feet from the we'll. Since its
abandonment nothing has been done
towards removing the bricks which
gradually, but surely, layer after
layer, show themselves above the
ground. At the present time the wall
actually 'sticks" out of the. ground,
like a huge circular chimney, its
height above the surface being few
inches over ten feet. The bottom OF
the well is now only eleven feet from
the surface, and it has been calcu-

ing, the Indians and hunters bring

country. Not everyone knows tina.
the elk teeth, or rather the tusks, of
which only two are found in the
mouth OF the adult elk, have a prac.
tical commercial value. The teeth
are used as jewelry, mostly as pend
ants on watch guards or as insignia Of
the secrey society known as the Elks.
The value of tooth ranges from 80
cents to $3.50, according to Its size,
color, and marking. Mr.. LoseKamp
has now over 81, 900 elk teeth de-
posited in safety vaults. Many of the
old Indian dresses were highly orna.
mented with elk teeth, some of them
being fairly covered with the teeth.
Mr.. LoseKamp has lived on the from
tier all his mature life and under
stands Indian trading perfectly, yet
he has sometimes paid over 500 for
single garment thus ornamented,
caring OF course for nothing but the
teeth. The Indians drill the teeth
to fasten them on their dresses and
this does not injure the value of the
tooth, but they have much worse
habit of sometimes staining the teeth
bright red. This dye cannot be ex.
tracted, and derreciates the value OF
the elk tooth for white customer.
The Indians do not dye the teeth so
much now, since they have learned
they can sell them for more In their
