REV. DR.. DIXON on "MONUMENTS."
He Instructed and Amused . Large
Audience Last Evening.

Dev DIR. Joseph X. Dixon, pastor of
the Penn Avenue Baptist church, en-
tertained a large audience In the main
auditorium of the church last evening
with his celebrated lecture on the
Worlds monuments. The lecture Is
one that he has delivered many times
In many states and the subject IL one
that he possibly has given more atten-
ton to than has any other student.
TO use a common, expressiOn-what he
doesn't know about monuments isn't
worth knowing.
He makes his lecture instructive and
entertaining in about equal parts. At
one time he IL eloquent. again poetic.
then pathetic and then humorous. He
starts In with the monuments Of ancient
Greece, the tOOmbs of Rome. the pyra-
mids and obelisks Of Egypt, and the
MasOleums Of the Mogul, and points
out the important part these and other
inscriptions have played in transmit
ting to posterity history that in many
instances would otherwise have been
lost to posterity. Then he excites the
admiration and wOnderment by exhibit
ing the seDulchres Of almost prince
less value that have been erected to
iinmortalize as far as such institutions
can some vain lord of the realm, who
of his soul.
Then he arouses the patriotic fervor
Of the audience by showing the mon
uments erected by a loving nation to
its Napoleon, its Grant, its Nelson or
its Washington, climax which
brought forth the heartiest applause.
Next he fires another by leading his
company through the mazes of West
minister Abbey and pointing out memo
rials demanded for q Shakespeare, a
Franklin, a LongfellOw, or a Lung
stone, by the intelligent world. And
finally after soaring through these
more elevated realms he becomes the
clever humorist and without being, in
the slightest, gruesome, deduces from
the efforts of the amateur, unlearned
or waggishly inclined epitaph writer a
most plentiful fund of amusement.
He has probably as large a collection
of ludicrous and humorous epitaphs
as any man has ever gotten together
and the two score or more that he read
last night fairly kept his audience in
one continuous roar of laughter.
A. V. Bower manipulated the stere-
opticon, which was used to illustrate
the Rev. Doctors lecture.

FIGHTING in COURT.
-
The Fitzsimmons. .Sharkey Contest Aired
Before Judge Sanderson-Testi.
mony Of Participants.

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-ThOmas
Sharkey testified in his own behalf to-
day In FitzsimmOn suit for possession
of the $4,000 check.
Sharkey denied having any interest
whatever in the National Athletic club
or that he had advanced that Organi-
cation $500 or any other sum. The
sailor was positive he had never talked
to Lynch or anybody else about carp
He went into the ring with no thought
but to win a fair fight.
Did you ever enter into any agree
ment with Lynch to do anything to get
the fight, or had you anything to do
with the selection of q referee" was
asked Sharkey.
Il never did. Lynch had the referee
in his hands"
Did you have any agreement with
carp or any one else to get an unfair
decision?"
mo SIR"
This closed Sharkey's direct testi-
mony.
Sharkey was then subjected to q
cross-examination.
did you ever send Billy Madden to
Fitzsimmon's headquarters to offer
Fitzsimmons $500 to let Madden referee
the fight?"
II did not"
'IIow long did DR.. Lee work on your"
He stayed until morning.
Tell what Lee did"
After he had examined me ne got
hot clothes and put them on me. Then
he bandaged me-"
did he use iOdine?"
Mot at that time"
when did he?"
Friday night. Leeches were put on
Thursday"
Did he use a hyperdermic syringe
or use knife to make Il puncture?"
''He did not"
Danny Needham, Sharkey's trainer,
was the next sworn. His story in gen.
eral was a denial Of what Smith and
Allen had said about the referee and
about the suspicious circumstances in
the dressing room and in Sharkey's
room in the hotel.
Referee Wyatt carp was called. He
testified that he was in the Baldwin
hotel about ! o'clock the afternoon of
the fight when he was asked to ref
cree the fight by Groom, Gibbs and
some one else. He did not know Lynch
except to speak to him, and had not
spoken to him half dozen times in his
life. Earp's description of the eighth
round in his own language was as fol-
lows:
"Fitzsimmons drove Sharkey to his
corner and struck him a blow on the
breast. Sharkey came again and FitZ-
simmons tried to upper cut him and
struck him on the groin. As he went
back he upper cut him on the chin.
He did not fall backwards but went
down on to his knees and placed his
hands on the place he was hit. Need
ham came up and asked IL I saw the
foul, and I said: That's all right. I
see it, walked over and gave my de-
cision. l decided that Mr.. Sharkey had
won on q foul"
carp said he would have the same
decision again every night and knew
the foul had been struck.
There was an exciting scene when
carp was asked II ne had said what
Julian testified to. carp excitedly de-
nounced Julian's statements as tissue
of falsehoods and repeated this.
Judge Sanderson cautioned him to
answer the questions.
carp was asked If he had a revolver
on him and in reply offered to be
seached by a deputy sheriff.
At the conclusion of Earp's examina-
tion the court adjourned.
