A HERO IN OAKLAND.
Sharkey Is Followed by Admitting
Crowds Wherever He Nav
Choose to Go,

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9O8 Broadway, June II.
Oakland at present harbors a hero.
Whenever he appears on the street crowd
follows him and when he enters a barber
shop policemen have TO keep clear the
sidewalk.
This hero is man OF muscle and his
condescension in paying Oakland short
visit for professional purposes is greatly
appreciated by the sports and small bows
They have declared him their idol and he
is welcome to the best that they can give
him. 1t is true that sports and small
BOYS do not thrive within the territory
governed by the city ordinances, but the
coming of the hero seems to have given
birth to new class. They seem to have
come from nowhere and the average stsid
Oaklander passes by on the other side
when he sees them.
Oakland is not used to gazing upon men
who wear the fore part of their hats on
their noses; who wear check pants tight
from the knee down, and who saw "See 9,'
and e-fights. Neither is it accustomed
to see small boys carrying on all manner
of impromptu prize-fghts to the upmiti-
gated delight of crowds of other small
bows. But these things are here now. and
they have come with Sharkey-Thomas
Sharkey of the United States navy, who is
now training at the Acme Club.
If there is a big crowd anywhere in
town, Sharkey is the cause of it; if outside
a saloon, Sharkey is drinking lemonade:
if outside the Acme Club, Sharkey NAV be
expected to appear within a couple of
hours after punching the bag and wrest
ling with his trainer-and two hours are
nothing to the crowd that now ''occupies'i
the city if positive view of Mr.. Sharkey
be the reward.
The interest in the man who will ex
change blows with Mr.. Corbett is not
however confined to sports or small bows.
To the surprise of the residents Of this
city Mr.. Sharkey is an object of interest
to women also, and whenever there is a
crowd around the sailor boy part of it is
always composed of natty summer cos
tunes the wearers of which are shaded bv
parasols.
Mr.. Sharkey is not unmindful of the in
terest he is creating. In fact he rather
enjoys it. A sailors life is a thankless
existence and an honest son of the briny
is almost as much stranger to society as
an exile. When attention is shown II is
so unusual that it is invariably pleasant
after the marine bashfulness has worn off

WON'T STOP THE MILL.
Civic Federation so Decides If II
Keeps Within the Law.

The Civic Federation will not interfere
with the Corbett-Sharkey contest-that is,
they will make no effort to stop the mill if
it develops into nothing more than a sci
entific exhibition of skill and training.
such as Manager Groom of the National
Athletic Club yesterday assured them it
would be.
With this assurance the federation felt
it should be satisfied for the present, rely-
ing on the promoters of the affair as men
of honor to stand by their words. Never
theless they though it proper to warn the
Chief of Police to watch carefully for anv
infringement of the law. 1t was decided
to send a committee of their own to see
that the nice distinction between /. contest
of skill and prizefght is maintained.
There was Just an even dozen of the
federation mem bers present at the meet
ing, which was held in the assem- bly-room
of the Mills building yesterday afternoon.
They were: l. J. Truman, president:
James l.. Case, secretary; Stewart Men
zies, D. Gilbert Dexter, George 7. Gaden.
Rev. ]. Cumming Smith, Rev. Thomas
Filben, A. G. TowDe, Wallace Bradford,
Charles Wesley Reed Rev. II. n. Bevier
and G. B. Perkins. The meeting was ex-
ecutive.
The coming boxing contest was the
principal matter discussed and the meet
ing was one of the most interesting held
for some time. A number of the mem
bers spoke earnestly in favor of taking
steps to prevent the contest 1t was re-
ported, however, that the law in regard to
the matter had been submitted to six at
torneys and they could see no possible way
of preventing such an exhibition as was
proposed. The following letter was re-
ceived from Manager Groom:

Says They Broke Contract He
Had Made to Lecture in

EXPIRES. ]. V. Mcnamara, who lectures
about his former church from an adverse
point of view, has found that his path is
not altogether one of roses and admission
fees, and as consequence is about TO en-
bark in litigation.
Bishop Mcnamara, for he is the duly
elected bishop of the Independent Re

has instructed his attorneys, Messrs. Bige-
low and Bigelow, to sue the trustees OF
the town of Brookland for $500 damages
to his pocket and his feelings, and thereby
hangs a tale, which the reverend lecturer
unfolded to n Times reporter, as follows;

GrOut as a Farmer.

Josiah Grout, the gentleman from Derby
who wants to be governor, and who is
posing as the farmer candidate, has an ag-
ricultural record that will bear inspection.
We are informed that he was not born on
farm and did very little farming until his
present farm, the Clydeside, was inherited
by his wife. Since then he has devoted a
very limited portion of his time to agricul-
tural pursuits and yet Mr.. .Grout is given
to talking about 1--WE farmers A man
who claims to be bona fide farmer, and
never thought Of farming until his wife in
herited farm for him cannot furnish the
best of credentials.
Mr.. Grout as farmer asks the farmers
of the state to support him in his political
aspirations. All the Grout organs are
working the farmer racket. They say that
| the farmers of the state have not been
represented in the distribution of the
loaves and fishes as they should have been,
and that here is an opportunity for them
to vote for one Of their own number, and
thus as class gain high political recogni-
ton. But how long since Mr.. Grout allied
himself politically with the farmers of the
state? How long has he been working
tooth and nail for the advancement Of
''farmer candidates." Where was Farmer
Grout when Hon. H. A. Fletcher of Caven
dish, than whom Vermont has no better
representative, public spirited farmer, as
pired to the governorsbip of this state9 Wa:
he farmer then and working for the
farmer candidate? No. He was with the
ring then and working for the ring candi
date the same as he is to-day. Had Mr.
Grout labored for the nomination OF Mr.
Fletcher as zealously as he did the nomina
ton of Mr.. Fuller, Mr.. Fletcher woult
have been nominated, and worthy man
one wEo is farmer indeed would have
been seated in the governors chair. L
Josiah Grout himself the only farmer can
didate that Josiah Grout and. his clansmer
will support? The thinking, Independent
farmers of the state should ponder these
things, and not suffer their intelligence te
be insulted by any such miserable subter
fuge as that with which Mr.. Grout and hi
friends hope to blind their eyes and catcl
their votes.
