New York. June S.-Among those who
are considered 10 be authority on pugi
listic matters in this vicinity, there is a
1 great difference Of opinion as TO the out.
COME OF the heavyweight fstic contes,
| which Is to takep lace tomorrow night
at the Palace Athletic club between Pc.
| ter Maher and Thomas J. Sharkey. Ma.
her has three very decided advantages
! He is 31s inches taller, has a longer
reach. and more ring experience and
science than the sailor man.
For the past seven weeks. Sharkey has
made his preparation for tomorrow
nights contest al Behm's hotel, near
New Drop. Staten Island.
Never did pugiiist prepare for con-
test more earnestly. carefully and faith
fully than Sharkey has under the guild
ance and advice Of Joe Choynski, Tim
McGrath and Tom Lansing. Choynski
has been very exacting, and he has
found q willing and doeiie pupil in the
sailor.
Sharkey has gone through the ordeal
spiendidly, and his trainer and sparring
terms and are a unit in saying that he
will get the het.er of his countryman
tomorrow night.
This was the last day Of hard work for
Tom. He got up this morning at
o'clock and took . mile walk before
breakfast. After breakfast be took
ten-nile run, and although the weather
vas soft and the roads in bad condition.
he returned to his quarters in good con-
dltien.
He rested a while after this. and then
took a short run along the beach. AT 3
o'clock he entered the gymnasium. and
for an hour and a half he had not an
idle moment. He punched the bag
skipped the rope and used the wrist
machine and dumb bells. Then he box
ed few rounds with Choynski and
Lansing. He looked 10 be in first-class
condition, and there was not an extra
ounce Of flesh percephble, while his
muscles stood out prominently.
When asked whether he would win TO-
morrow night, he said:
Tell my friends in California, and
all over, that 1 never felt better in my
life, and am confident OF winning. If ]
win / will go after Bob Fitzs,mmons
again and I will meet him within three
months. If defeated. will have no ex-
cuse to offer"
Joe Choynski vas equally confident %
the sailors success. and said that he
had gone through his training much bet
ter :ban he (ChoynskD had anticipated.
HE now weighs 1T3 pounds" said
Joe, land is as fit as il is possible for a
man TO be. He will nor do any more
work until he meets Maher in the ring
and am satisfied that be wifi win"
New York, June S.-Chief Conklin said
today tha; he would see that there was
no Singing at the Maher-Sharkey
bou. al the Palace Athletic club tomor-
row night. He said that he intended to
allow only scientific sparring bout for
points. The Horton law would be OBJ
served to the letter, he said. and the
police would be there TO see that II was
enforced. The men viii be permitted 10
go on sparring only in strict accordance
with the Horton law, and as soon as
there is any smuggling the bouts will be
stopped ana the men arrested A mere

Goldfish Farming.

The raising of goldfish is a special in
dustry. and one of the largest goldfish
farms" is at Spring Lake, Ind. When
young the goldfish is said to resemble
in color and general appearance an or
binary minnow. After awhile they turn
DARK, becoming occasionally almost
black. Then a reddish hue begins to
appear, the true golden color being de-
veloped at the average of one year or
less. A few individuals, however, never
change their original silver color, and
sometimes the red and gold hues
make their appearance only in patches.
Not infrequently goldfish develop two
or more tails.-Youth's Companion.

when they are bonorably discharged.
While serving on men-Of-war they
swing in hdmmocks and mess with the
marine guard, and in all respects are
treated as if they are men; in action
they serve at the great guns as powder
"powder-monkeys" as they are
sometimes called. The duty of a pow
der-boy is to pass charges from the
magazine to the battery.
Drummers are distinguished from the
private soldiers of the marine guard in

with white facing and shoulder knots
the only dress in our service like the
traditional red coat of Tommy 1T
kins," the British soldier, which has
been worn by the army for nearly 800
years. AS a joke upon this distinctive
ly un-American uniform, it is related
that when the British were seen ap1
preaching Bladensburg, during the
war of 1912, wag in the American
ranks shouted: ''Great Scott! boys,

There is double entrance from the
arch, through quartered oak doors, into
a lobby 50x16 feet, with red and gray
tiled floor. The hardware here used is
of solid bronze. From the lobby there
are three doors leading into the main
hall; also stairways leading up and
down, trimmed and finished in quar-
tered oak. The main hall is furnised in
native pine finish, and is. 1O5x5O feet.
The acoustics are very fine, as q whisper
can be heard from one end of the hall to
the other. The windows are of loaded
cathedral glass, in blue. green and pur
pie on sides and rear with compile
mentary colors. The ceiling is paneled
with turned drops, from which are cleo
tric lights, supported by eight massive
iron columns. The walls are finished
with adamantine plaster.
On the floor over the Jackson hall is
the engineering department of five
rooms. On what is known as the first
floor is the gymnasium hall which is
1O5x5O feet. The interior walls of this
hall have been left in the rough state
with fiye-foot panel; the ceiling is sup

was held in the Jackson hall, and the
committee on the erection of a monu

THE MEXICAN PECCARY.

1t Never Turns Out for Anything.
Man or Beast.
1.-The most vicious and fearless of the
brute creation is the peccary, or wild
hog of Mexico" said G. w. Bartlett, of
Laredo, Tex. This seminal seems ut
terly devoid of the emotion ofefear. 1

out of its path for any living thing.
Mana is it's special bette noire. 1t dis
plays an intelligence in fighting the
human strangely at variance with its
apparently complete lack of any mental
attributes, save the very lowest order
of instinct. They are rarely found sing
", but go in droves of from hundred
to thousands. Their ability to scent
men is particularly marked. [ have
known drove of them to scent man a
mile off and strike as straight for him
as the arrow flies. There is no use to
try to brighten them with guns. The
cannonading of full battery would
have no more effect on them than the
popping of q firecracker. The only
thing to do when they get after you is
to run away from them as fast as a
horse can carry you. And then there is
no certainty that they won't catch you.
They are nearly as swift horse, and
their endurance is as great as their
viciousness.
"a friend of mine encountered drove
of them in a wild part of Mexico few
years ago, and his escape was miracu-
lous. He very foolishly shot and wound
ed number of them. Then he took
refuge in a tree. The peccaries kept
him in the tree all that day and through
the night. They circled around the
tree, grunting and squealing their de-
light at the prospect of a feast. He soon
exhausted his ammunition, and
brought down a peccary at each fire.
But this had no terror for the beasts.
Along toward morning the brutes be-
gan to eat the ones he had killed, and
when they thus satisfied the cravings

hence Emperor Williams efforts for
the creation of an international COM
mission for the management of the IN

not to be sneered at. Although his rea-
sons may be purely selfish, in larger
sense his protest amounts to an appeal
for national honesty everywhere.
The Prussian 6iet, by rejecting the
law of associations bill. a few days ago,
has struck blow for true liberty. The
bill, q pet measure of the German en-
peror, placed the right of public meet
ings and debate absolutely at the
mercy of the police. Any meeting
would be dissolved at the discretion of
the police. Under its terms any kind
of society, even a scientific orreligious
gathering, could be dispersed if the po-
licemen on duty thought anything
said at meeting dangerous. to good
order, morals or the government. En-
peror William has taken the defeat of
this measurea as personal affront and is
ready to take almost any step. even a
revision of the constitution, rather
than relinquish it. This spirip of stub
bornness in the erratic sovereign is en-
| couraged by the agrarians and ultra
tories, at whose head stands DR.. Johann
Miguel, the new vice chancellor of the
empire.
This DR.. Miguel. by the way, is one of
the most unique characters who ever
rose to eminence in monarchical coun-
try. Early in his public career he was
| a pronounced socialist; for 20 years he
was famed as the abiest assailant of the
government in parliament; for so
years he posed as a liberal leader. To-
day he is the champion defender of his
autocratic sovereign and the wOrs:
enemy his former associates, the social
| democrats, ever had to fight. Next
week or next month he may be chan
celIor, for no man enjoys the emperoris

| list party in the reichstag, used to de-
scribe Miguel as slippery as an eel,
