Victim for "Jimmie" Handler.
/. Paterson, N. j., Feb. 25.-Two thousand
people crowded into the Paterson Opera
House last night at thestag entertainment OF
the Paterson Athletic Club. There were a
number OF bouts. but the event OF the evening
was an eight.round contest between "Jim-
mie'' Handler of Newark and Charles John
son Of Minneapolis.

cause johnson complained OF a sore finger
and was not in the best Of condition. He
said he wassick. Handler was well trained
and gave an exhibition Of bag punching be-
fore the contest. John p. Eckhardt was sc.
lected as referee.
The first round opened with Handler lead
ing a straight left and continued to punish
johnson. The latter could do nothing with
his right hand, which he held almost at
his side. He never raised it once during the
round, and what little work he did was
with his left. The round closed in favor OF
Handler, although johnson began to mix
matters as the bell rang.
In the second round johnson made such
poor showing that some of those in the audi
ence who did not know the condition of the
fighter began TO hiss. Cries OF Eight,
Johnson" could be heard on all sides, but 1t
was OF no avail, as the pugilist was kept
busy, trying to keep off the singing left
handlers of the Newark lightweight.
After a minutes fighting in the second
round, johnson began to wakeup, andlanded
lightly on Handler. The latter countered
heavily several times, and finally forced
johnson against the ropes. He knocked him
down with blow on the neck. He got to
his feet again. but only TO be knocked against
the ropes.
He lay across the under rope knocked out
while ten seconds were counted off.

ration Suter was anything but pleasant,
and constantly gave way to his wrath. He
frequently urged her to return and live with
him, but she would not go. At each re-
fusal the man would become greatly en-
ragged. and has threatened to take Lizzie's
life more than once.
Several days ago Suter repaired to the
house where he had formerly lived with the
girl, tore down the lace curtains and carried
them to his own home. He then by de-
grees made way with an entire set Of furni-
ture, all of which articles belonged to
the girl, and aggregated value of over $50.

dotes which were both entertaining and
humorous.

the announcement that the Walters Build
ing in Georgetown was due to his gen

plause and interest. The stereopticon was
under the artistic manipulation OF Prof.
Fred Murray.
Among the most picturesque OF views
shown was ma poleon in Exile, ""Napoleon
Crossing the Alps and Napoleon, the En-
peror."
Mr.. Hubbard spoke in clear. loud voice
that could be heard throughout the large
