SEVERAL GOOD FIGHTS.
They Were Pulled Off by the
Manhattan Athletic
Club.
Al Neil and Jack Lahey Put Up a
Rattling Five-Round
Bout.

There were several rattling pugilistic
bouts at the Manhattan Athletic Club on
Mission street last night.
The event of the evening was a four.
round go between al Neil and Jack
Lahey for the welter- weight champion
ship of the club. 1t was a red-hot battle
from start to finish. At the conclusion OF
the fourth round the referee, George Nc
Laughlin. called for another round. II
was viciously fought and at its conclusion
the referee very properly declared the 90
a draw.
Both men on entering the ring were in
irst-cass shape. Lahey was the taller OF
the two. and in the battle following dis
played the most science. Neil piuckily
received mum ber of left and right drivers
IN the first and second rounds, returning q
almost measure for measure. In the
third round Neil had much the better of
the engagement. Shortly after the bell
sounded he planted nose ender on Lahey
which drew blood. When the warriors
were sent to their corners both were fight
ing wicaedIy.
In the fourth round Neil, at the advice
of his seconds, went in to finish his man.
He sent in number OF telling drives on
the body, and repeatedly landed on the
face. Lahey took the grueling yaIliantIy
and jolted NeiPs head back with right
smash on the jaw. The fifth round was
stubbornly fought.
Next TO the event of the evening was
the three-round bout between William
Cole and Jack Mcdonald. Cole went for
bis man in the first and second rounds.
In the third Mcdonald changed the ia ables
on his doughty opponent and the police
stopped the fight as Cole was quite weak.
Mcdonald was awarded the battle.
There were number of preliminary
bouts which excited and amused the large
crowd present. There was also club
swinging and fencimg

Some G6mfort in Shie.

The prospector who fails to strike it rich this season can take a crumb of comfort in the old superstition that find CTS of bonanzas always come to violent ends. In the minds of many old time gold hunters this Idea is accepted as an undeniable fact, and the many instances confirm atory of this view will, perhaps, interest many of them.
 Of the original discoverers of some of the richest mines, two were shot, three were killed by the caving in of their mines, several have disappeared never to be heard of again. Dutch William, who discovered the Cariboo gold field, died pauper; Marshal, who found the first gold in California, at Sutton's mill, depended upon charity for some time before he died; "Mortona Plummer," :" discoverer of the richest mine in the world, was hanged; "Doughnut Bill, |" cold Eureka" and "Nlnevill Clark" were all three killed in drunken rows :;
  ted suicide; the owner of the Homestake turned highwayman; Bill Fdrsmith, of the Alder Gulch mines, killed himself through dissi patton; Indians murdered Story; an avalanche took off the discov erer of the Standard mine in California ]; Charlie Moon, one of the discoverers of the Silver King, soon after he became wealthy, died of smallpox at Los Ange- les; John Req gan, also of the Silver King, tried hard 10 sell his interest in that mine for 1200$ but couldn't find buyer in either Florence or Tucson. After wards Re4gon realized 300 ,OOO$ out of the mine, moved to Oakland, Cal, and shortly afterwards was thrown from his buggy and killed. Billy Long got mar ried at Florence, after first disposing of his interest for 40,000$, and died soon after. All the original discovers of the famous Peck mine are broke, but are sanguine of other strikes Henry Wick enberg, the first to locate the old Vulture mine, still resides at Wickenberg. And so on through the list. Yet most of us take our chances on dying similar deaths if we could only make similar fnds.- Pick and Drill

T. E. Wardner, the well known Boston editor and publisher, was h Washington last week conferring with prominent sill yer men in congress. He reported the silver sentiment in New England to be greatly on the increase, owing to the eyes of merchants and manufacturers having been opened by the continued fall Tn prices, and said: "The silver feeling in the large towns, always strong, is increasing rapidly and will make itself felt in the next congressional campaign
 Skilled labor IS more than ever in favor of silver. The shoemakers of Lynn, Haverhill and other places are almost to a man bimetalllsts. The Typogra phical Union is nine.tenths for silver. There will be at least six silver congressman in the next Massachusetts delegation, and the chances are pretty good that the next legislature will contain a silver ma. jority sincerely and honestly believe that if Massachusetts were to vote to- morrow she would cast her lot on the side of bi metallism as against the gold standard" Many business men, Mir. Wardner said, had given up hope of any relief through the tariff bill-Vidette.

Great things are expected of the coffee pea out in Colorado, where it's cultiya. tion is being carried on.

Many old coffee drinkers are said to prefer it to the genuine article. The cultivation of the plant bids fair to prove of great ben. eft to the arid region, as there IS prob ably no other grain that possesses so many valuable feeding qualities as the coffee pea.

a metropolitan magistrate was that it was exclusively confined to the female sex. It was very peculiar that it should not be found among the male population.
 No doubt there was in females love, and even a passion, for striking bar gain. In the process of carrying out that bargaining system women seemed some times to think it would be an achieve ment if they got what they wanted tor nothing. That was the only explanation he knew of for kleptomania, which was actually thieving.

SONNET.

When sweetSpring comes with noiseless waking
Of bud and blossom from the moist green earth,
Pulsates again; while many note of mirth
From songsters silent long resounds
Der , vale and glade, and fills the balmy air
With sights and sounds of welcome everywhere,
To greet the Springs return.
And alone from all this JOY apart
Must stand and vainly mourn
The absence of one loving heart
And gentle voice, that never more can sing
To me of love or bllthesome Spring.
