YALE HooDLUMs CONDEMNED.

Even the New Haven Papers Can Find
no Excuse for Them.
ss4&s ~ IA
New Haven, Conn, Sept. 25.-The
Yale News to-day has the following
editorial commenting on the distur-
bance at the Bryan meeting here yes
terday:
"The News must deprecate the
spirit of horse play'-this is the true
light in which the animus must be
regarded-which prompted the demon
stration at yesterdays political meet
ing. The action. of Yale men present
plainly showed a lack of respect for
the dignity of the speaker, as a public
man, everything political aside; and
thoughtful and fair-minded eonsidera-
tion will unanimously condemn and
regret the exhibition, irrespective of
party afiliation.''

TWENTY ROUNDS AND A DRAW.
George Dixon and Tommie White
Fight in New York.

New York, Sept. 25.-Geo. Dixon, of
Boston, and Tommy White, of Chicago,
fought twenty rounds to draw to-
night in the Broadway Athletic Club,
which is under the management of
Tom ORourke. Probably 5000 per
sons witnessed the fight, which was
unusually fine.
Preceding this fight Danny Mcbride,
of this city, and Johnny German, of
Long Island City, fought ten rounds
and referee Austin gave Mcbride the
decision. Then Dixon and White ap-
peared.
Each was said to weigh 1875 pounds.
The first seven rounds were not event.
ful and honors were about even. After
this the fighting was fast and furious,
both men landing hard and often.
In the twentieth, they jabbed on face
and clinched. Dixon slashed his left
very hard on face Both smashed
rights and lefts on face and body to
a clinch. Rapid fighting with rights
and lefts in hurricane style followed.
Dixon grew very tired. He clinched
repeatedly, but his efforts early in the
fight had weakened him while the
Chicago boy seemed to gain in strength.
When the bell ended the contest, the
partisans of both yelled for a decision
in favor of their particular man, but
the referee declared the bout a draw.
This decision was received with
cheers, but many of those who watched
all the points made, were of the opin-
ion that White had a shade the better
of the bout.

terest, but the A. P. A. Is
Not Asleep.

MONTGOMERY, ALA. Aug. 3.-Re-
ports from the State are to the effect that
everything passed off quietly. In many
localities light vote was polled. All the
black-belt counties have given round
Democratic majorities. The Democrats
have made heavy gains in number of
white counties which have heretofore
given Populist majorities, and also gained
mum Der of representatives in the Legis-
Iature. 1t is impossible to give anything
like an estimate at present. The ticket is
a long one, containing not only State off,
GERS, but legislative mem bers and county
officers. The indications now point to a
Democratic victory in the State and both
branches of the Legislature.
MOBILE, ALA, Aug. 3.-The election
in this city and county (Mobile), so far as
heard from, passed off very quietly. The
weather was conducive to the polling of a
large vote, the day being clear and warm
with fine Gulf breeze to temper the heat.
Present indications are, however, that the
vote in the city at least has been light.
The total registration in April last was
something over 1000. This will be good
majority for Johnston and theState Demo-
cratic ticket. The Republicans did not
take much interest in the election and
what votes the Populist ticket got were
scattering, for they have no organization
in this county. Late tonight it may be
possible to give figures.
Returns received up to midnight for
four wards and eight precincts in Mobile
County give Johnston 1924 majority. The
vote Of four of the eight wards in the city
shows that there is about So per cent of
the total registration cast in the vote
to-day.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Aug. 3.-Returns
received by the State Herald up to 2
o'clock this morning indicate the election
of Captain Johnston by a majority of

Democratic. In this (Jefferson) county
the A. 2. A. made vigorous fight upon
Hon. Frank p O'Brien, the Democratic
nominee for Sheriff. but it is estimated
that he will have 300 majority. The cleo
ton throughout the State was orderly.

SEIZED BY AN OCTOPUS,
Perilous Plight of a Serpentine
Dancer at Manhattan
Beach.
Loie Fuller's Sister, While Bathing
GstS Into the Clutches of
Shiny Monster.

NEW YORK, n. Y, August 3.-Miss Ida
Fuller, the serpentine dancer, a sister to
La Loie Fuller, had thrilling experience
with what she believes to have been an
octopus at Manhattan Beach.
Miss Fuller was bathing in front of the
pavilion in company with her brother
Frank, and being an expert swimmer had
gone just beyond the life lines. which ex-
tended about 200 feet from the shore.
Her brother was some distance away.
Suddenly the girl felt something coil itself
around her left leg. She thought it was a
weed and turned over on her back and
kicked violently. Instead of releasing
her from the ENHANCEMENT. the stringy
substance seemed to tighten until the
pressure was painful. Still suspecting
nothing more awful than seaweed, Miss
Fuller turned over again and ducked
down, intending to disengage herself with
her hands. She says she then saw head
from which hands of stringlike tentacles
swung and swayed iii the water. AS she
stopped one of these coiled around her
right thigh.
Crying "Helpr' at the top of her voice
Miss Fuller struggled to free herself, but
the clutches OF the thing, whatever it was,
seemed only too surely to be dragging her
beneath the surface.
After uttering a terrific scream Miss
Fuller tainted in the water, the depth of
which was fully fourteen feet. The only
swimmer near her was a Mr.. Parker.
Hearing woman scream, he turned and
saw the dancer disappear beneath the
water. With a few vigorous strokes he
reached the place where she sank, and
seizing her held her above the water until
a life-saveI came up and hauled the man
and the woman out of the water
Mr.. Parker said he felt the long, Shiny
arms of the creature, and to prove it ex-
hibited marks upon his limbs. The still
unconscious woman was carried to tn e
Manhattan Beach Hotel. There she grad
ually revived. DIR. Campbell, who at
tended her, said there were red marks like
the welts Of whip on her legs.
