Barney Farley's will soon be no more.
That historic roadside resort and train
ing place where for many a long year
sporting men have been won't to gather
and discuss the great events of the pugil-
istic arena, both past and future, this
week will pass into other hands.
From the walls look down the portraits
of many champions of the roped arena,
their eyes seemingly filled with a DUN b.,
hopeless protest at the departure of the
famous old man who mas so tenderly
watched over them for so long. Even the
inscriptions of great events with which
the corners of the great rooms are tlled
already grow almost indistinct under the
spiders webs, foI in the hurry OF prepara-
ton for his departure Barney has neglect
ed such things as applying the broom and
duster to the walls formerly so clean.
The old fellow stood in the group yes
terday and in subdued tones talked of his
life at "Farley's resort" His eyes were
set on the western heavens. where the
sun was just sinking in a glow of red
light and if Dempsey or McAuliffe, men
to whom his name is almost a synonym
for father, could have seen him then,
their hearts would hardly have been as
light as when they emerged from the
ring after gladiatorial triumph.
"Yes, boys" said Barney, Il have been
here now since 1866. In that time my
house has sheltered many a man whose
name has been on the National tongue.
NOV, there's Jack Dempsey, as game a
man as ever stepped into the ring. See
that cane over there in the corner? Well,
that piece of blackthorn was the last gift
the good d-hearted fellow ever made to a
man in San Francisco. But now he's no
more.
Then there's Jack McAuliffe. and Jack
is one of the famous trio of Sullivan,
Dempsey and McAuliffe, who held the
championship in their classes ior so long.
Look at that bird there and Barney
turned to point toward a parrot indus
triously screeching, ANY old thing goes
with me- That is McAuliffe's parrot.
He left it here till he sent for it,
Yes, there's many a man will read the
news of Barney's going out of business al
the old stand with feelings akin to sadness.

been confined on board the Liffey for steal
ing a ring. At Victoria Conway and Col
lins whose terms had expired, left the
ship, and lost sight of Ashe.
At the City Prison Conway and Butler
recognized each other Immediately, and
hey talked for some time. To Conway
it is understood Butler outlined his pro-
posed defense when he is tried in Aus
tralia, and also his reasons for now being
known as Weller.
Conway has told his friends that Ashe
made this statement. He had a mining
claim in the Blue Mountains. but had no
capital to work it, consequently he adver-
tised in the Sydney papers for a COM
panion with some means. Captain Lee
Weller responded, he said, and agreed to
join him.
On the day of Weller's death Butler
said he had left the place where the mine
was located, and on his return he
found the dead body of Weller in the hole
which be had been digging.
He said he was "thunGerStruck' at this
discovery and for 4 time did not know
what to do. To return to sydney and re-
port the death of his late com panion
would create suspicion of his being the
murderer, and as he had no way of dis
proving this he decided to cover the body
up and get out of the country the
best and quickest way he could. Conse-
qnently he said he made his way to New
castle and shipped on the SwanhilGa un-
der the name Lee Weller, thinking that
should any inquiry be made for Weller
the conclusion would be arrived at that he
had shipped and left the colonies, thus
averting any investigation as to what had
become of him. The carrying away of
the effects Of Weller, he continued, was a
part of the plan, SO nothing could be
found belonging to the victim that might
in any way lead to an inquiry as to his
Whereabouts.
This. it is understood, will be Buffers
defense when placed on trial in Sydney.

A gross assault was attempted upon
young girl Tuesday eveningsby ruttlan
who has not yet been captured by the po-
lice although every effort is being made In
that direction.
Theodore Greninger, who lives at 524
Kansas street, near Seventeenth, and h!s
daughter Louise. II years of age, left home
about half-past O clock Tuesday night to
do some shopping.
They went to shoestore on Sixteenth
street, between Howard and Mission, and
purchased a pair of shoes. Tne father
went to the grocery on the corner of Six
teenth and Mission streets and the girl
said she would walk home alone.
She walked along Toward street TO
Seventeenth, and south on Seven teenth
on her way home. 1t was dark, the moon
not yet having shown her face; but the girl
had often walked home alone, and was
not in the least afraid.
AS she reached point between Potrero
avenue and Florida street, which is a lone
some place, few houses being in the To-
cality, man grabbed her Unexpectedly
from behind and threw her to the side
walk. He told her not TO make noise or
he would choke her. Then he attempted
other violence, and, Notwithstanding his
threats, the girl screamed loudly for
Eelp and struggled tieTceiy to get out of
the grasp OF the rutfian.
After the girl was almost exhausted
from her struggles her screams were
fortunately heard by some people in the
neigh borhood, and when the rutfian heard
them coming he released his hold of the
girl ana disappeared in the darkness.
She was escorted lone and her nerves
were so severely shaken with the encoun-
ter that she was forced to retire to bed.
When her father reached home and heard
OF the gross outrage upon his daughter be
was furious and hurried 10 the Seven
teenth-street station.
Lieutenant Burke heard his story and
sent Policemen Anderson and Reardon to
get description of the man rom Miss
Greninger, but she was too i'll to talk to
them.
They saw her again yesterday, but she
could only describe him as short stout
man about 80 years of age aud roughly
dressed. The officers learned from people
in the neighborh hood that a man about 30
years OF age. smooth face, about feet 4
inches tall, big black eyes, and wearing
fiat black hat and yeliowish brown sack
coat was seen lowering around shortly
before the girl was assailed, and the police
expect TO be able to identity him as they
believe he is not a stranger to the locality.

LOUIS SLOSS SIGNED IT..
A Check That Paid for Rich
Jewish Lore for Barke.
ley.

The Semitic library of the State Univer-
sity received a valuable addition yester-
day IN the form of collection of Hebrew
works, which will be known as the Sloss
collection, from the fact that the donor
was Louis Sloss.
The library mentioned was started some
time ago when Alfred Greenbaum pre-
sented the university with 1000 valua BILE
works of Semitic literature which he had
collected at great expense.
a few weeks ago Rabbi Voorsanger, who
is the professor of Semitic languages at
the State institution of learning, was
calico upon by a collector of Hebrew
works who offered his library for sale.
The rabbi, whose am mbition IS to see a COM
plete reference library of the Semitic Ian
guages in the possession of the university.
selected 1000 volumes which he said would
be OF great value TO the students under his
charge, and Mr. Sloss, who is also much
interested in the future of the university
supplied the check that paid for them.
The purchase price is, in Difference 10
The wishes OF Mr.. Sloss, kept secret for the
present, but it is said to be very large
though far less than The actual value OF
the works.
The 1000 volumes that have thus been
OOtdAHeN are DuI the nucleus OF full
reference library which Rabbi Voorsan ger
hopes to place within the walls Of the
university.
A collector OF Semitic literature who re-
Gently visited this City sold him 100 rare
volumes, which will be added to the
present library, making about a third of
what Will constitute the full collection.
The books that will arrive from the
East In lew days contain many valuable
manuscripts in Syriac, Ara bic and Hebrew.
One OF the most interesting is a COPY OF
the hrst edition of the Talmud that was
ever turned out of a printing press
Ra bbi Voorsanger is on the lookout for
other works that will be useful at the
university, and will add them to the col
lectlo on as fast as they can be obtained.
When the rabbi took hold OF the depart-
ment OF which he is the head he had but
five pupils, but since then his class has
increased to twelve. and interest in the
languages OF the Semitic races is con-
stantiy advancing. Those who attend his
classes are not theological students, but
are members OF the various departme nts
OF the university.

expects to have lucrative income by the
sale OF his tonic and his exercising ma
chine, both of which are well known IN
the sporting world.
Barney Farley himself is q character OF
renoWn. Born in TaIlystown, County
Westmeath, Ireland, in 1S40. he early de-
Veloped thirst for adventure and at the
age OF 10 years came to Boston. From
there he went to Woonsocket r. l., where
ne entered wholesale liquor-store. In
snort time he became the owner OF race
track and many celebrated pieces OF horse
nesh. Deerfoot, the celebrated Penobscot
indian runner, first gained renown upon
Farley's track.
1t was at Woonsocket also that Farley
nrst gained fame as an athlete. Deerfoot
useo to run ten miles in an hour on his
trlal spins, and Barney came into proml-
nence as the only man around who could
keep up with him for a couple of miles.
AS handball player he also grew 10 be
an expert.
In Wisconsin in 1863, Farley himself did
Ten miles in an hour and one minute.
Frlor to so doing. he had not run any race
for nearly year.
In 1864 Barney came to California. His
fame was by this time widely heralded by
MS battle with Tommy Chandler, with
whom he fought nineteen rounds, scoring
hrst blood. He was finally Knocked out,
owing to his weakness from heavy train
ing shortly preceding the mill.
On coming here he went into business
with Joe Windrow, famous trainer of
lighters in early days and also for some
time an Olympic Club professor of boxing.
When he located in his present historic
quarters the hrst man of prowess to use
his place as q tra1ning-station was ''Val-
paraiso" Reilly.
Though nearly 81 years of age Barney is
stliI hale and hearty and can perform
teats OF strength and skill that would nom
plus many man far younger. Some of
his thrilling feats, including the widely
talked of razor jump, were recorded in q
former issue of The CALL some months
ago.
In fact, the veterans activity and good
health are ample testimonials to his state
ment that he never took five drinks of
whisky or beer in his life. His only bev-
erage is now and then glass of sherry
wine. In man of his environment and
association this il wonderful. Until a
year and half ago he used to average
thirty cigars day, but at that time he
became convinced that their use was
detrimental 10 his health and ceased
smoking entirely.
1t Is said of old Barney that more
honorable and true-hearted sporting man
never lived. He was often imposed upon
simply because ne found it so hard to be-
lieve evil OF others.
No man, ii is stated on good authority,
was ever refused succor at his hands, and
no man was ever sent from his door in a
besotted condition. He knew when a man
had i'm bibed enough and would sell him
no more.
