Thomas Moore was a poet of merit,
and his works are to be found in nearly
every American household which makes
any pretense of being literary. The
songs which he wrote are sung in all
parts Of the United States and are
more lasting than many Of our own.
Everybory has been charmed with
"Lalla Rookh," and his shorter poems
and yet, because he criticised one OF
Americas presidents and some thing,
which he saw in this country, his name
has been omitted from the roll of poets
inscribed on the walls of the new Con.
gressional Library at Washington. W.
do not wonder that the Ancient Orde'
of Hibernians is indignant, and it il
to be hoped that the appeal Of the 500,
600 members of that order will have tn,
effect Of impelling tho officials to hav,
the name of the illustrious Irish poe
inscribed where it properly belongs
Dickens American notes make hin
none the less a great novelist. and tn
structures which Moore made make hin
none. the less poet.

We beg 10 differ with these gentle
men who, at the Board Of Trade meet
ing last night stated that they had not
been called upon to subscribe to the sill
yer service for the new gunboat Will
mington. A year or more ago the Even
ing 6ournal kept standing in its col
umns list OF the subscribers and an
invitation to all Of our citizens to add
their names to the list. and it comes
with poor grace at this late day for
anybody to say that no invitation has
been extended to him to subscribe. To
our own knowledge some of those
present at last nights meeting were
personally asked to add their names to
the list, but refused. Now, gentlemen,
come up with your subscriptions and all
will be forgiven.

ADJUSTMENTS.
KELDAR HERE TONIGHT.

Magician Kellar's program. as il will
be given in this city at his engagement
tonight and tomorrow afternoon and
evening, is the most complete and be-
wildering he has ever offered his pa
irons. Unlike the old-fashioned sleight-
of-hand performer, Kellar believes that
large illusions and experiments that re-
quire the entire stage of the theatre
/ present the most attraction to the au-
diences. No less than seven master
pieces OF the modern magcian's art
will be combined in one entertainment.
In the "SimlaSeance" he will show how
the famous Davenport Bros. performed
their so-called miracles; the "Cassadega
Propaganda" will introduce a tiny cabi-
net, just about large enough for a doll.
in which will be produced all the mani
festations claimed as supernatural. by
believers in spiritualism; "Fly-To" is
an experiment in Hindoo coniuring. in
which men and women are made to ap-
pear and disappear in the most aston
lshing and unaccountable manner. IL
Illustrating the projection of the astral
body, as advocated by the Mahatmas Of
India and the Orient Oriental Won
ders" will witness the growth OF huge
bowers OF blooming roses, in which
women OF rare beauty appear; "Out Of
Sight" will show designing husbands
how to get rid of a wife with neatness
and dispatch such as would turn a di-
vorce court judge green with envy;
'Karmos" is an exhibition of mental
telegraphy or mind reading in which
Mrs. Kellar shows such an advanced
knowledge Of the art that her perform
ances are almost incredible. She reads
bank checks, bills, notes, private pa
pers-anything in fact. handed to Mr..
Kellar in the audience. She is blind
folded, on the stage and not a word or
sound Is uttered during the entire ex-
pertinent. Her instant calculations in
mathematie are marvellous.

second time this season he enterprise of
the San Francisco CALL has been dis
played in this city, and it has been more
than appreciated by the people, and es-
pecially those who we're interested in The
big tistic encounter. The Hotel Julian
was crowded all evening, as the
fight between Walcott and La
Vigne as been looked forward TO with
much interest, and the fact that The CALL
provided the public instant results OF each
round, through the prompt service OF the
Western Union Telegral Company, was
u matter OF fivorab bic comment on tie en-
terprise OF that journal. As general rule
Lavigne has been strong favorite, al
though Walcott had quite q number of
enthusiastic followers. The coiored popu-
lation was we'll represen led, but few bets
were made.
OAKLAND, Oct. 29.-The bulletins of
the fight that were posted at THE CALL
office were read BY q large crowd. The
people commenced to gather about 6
cock, and not until the asst bulletin was
posted was there any abatement of the in

THE BULLETINS
WERE CHEERED.

For hours last night Market street,
between the new home of THE CALL and
The present location of the bu siness office,
was so lhickly crowded with people that
1t was with the greatest difficulty the
streetcars could effect passage through
the throngs.
An immense canvas screen was placed
over HE CALL business office behind
which WAS stereopticon apparatus and a
temporary telegraph offic9, the latter con-
necied with the ringside.
Every movement OF the fighters, every
Dlow struck. WAS received on the instru-
ment almost as soon as it occurred and
hashed on the screen. The messages for
the screen were copied on a Smith Pre-
mler typewriter. which was operated by
W. h. Little. the fastest operator on the
coast.
As each bullet'n was posted the crowd
became denser. The cheer mat an
nounced the referees decision, '.Lavinge

cheer.
Not content with giving the people of

the Saginaw Kid" found weak spot un-
der Walcotts left arm over The kidneys
and he kept his right on that spot until
The black fellow could not stand The bat

Last evening Lavigne lost no time in
selecting That Vulnerable spot as
the main point of attack aud
the thousands who witnessed the
fight OF last evening saw the white fellow
time ana again drive his strong right fist
on me sore spot, which WaIcott tried to
Iro tect with his arm.
Walcott must certainly have been weak
when he entered the ring, or he had a
wholesome regard for his opponent. He
certainly did not show the same dasn IN
front OF Lavigne that he essayed when b.
faced George Green.
Poss. bly, in Green he found a man he
could punch without fear of return pun
Ishment. Green certainly did not nurt
Waicott at any time of the fight, other
wise contest may have had a different
ie-mlnation. Green fought altogether on
lie defensive, and even at that style OF
flgh'ing he could not protect hIms self from
attack.
With Lavigne the conditions were ex-
actly the opposite. The Saginaw Ki1'
actually forced the pace from the cali of
lime until Rourke threw up the sponge.
In every round Of the battle Ltvlgne
was the aggressor and, Notwithstanding
The heavy short-arm boay punches he re-
celved from the black, he refused to re-
treat one inch, but on the contrary he
bored in on his stocky opponent ana
actually forced Walcott to beat a hot re-
treat from corner to corner of the ring.
Even when Walcott ran away to avoid
punishment Lavigne was after him ike a
cat, and frequently when he cornered The
colored fighter the latter clinched, and
cIinched hard, too, TO escape the upper
cuts and body punches .hat were in
