LAVIGNE And WALCOIT.
The Hurricane Fighters Will
Meet in the Roped Arena
in This City.
The Weight Question Finally
Settled and the Occidental Club
Will Pull Off the Match.

Lavigne and Walcott are practically
matcht d, all differences as to weight hav-
ing been decided upon.
Yesterday afternoon O'Rourke, repre-
senting Walcott, Lavigne and his brother
Billy and Young Mitchell met in the lat
,er's resort The Lavignes submitted
testants to weigh in at 8 O'Clock on the
day of the contest at 1873 pounds. 135 at 6
o'clock and 1873 at the ringside.
O'Rourkc held out Tor his original stIpu-
lation-the men 10 weigh in at 1856 pounds
at 6 O'Clock.
Lavi lie stated that he had made his
last concession TO o. Rourke, and that be
Lad given Walcott Il great advantage in
doing so; that there was now only diff
terence of one pound between him and
O'Rourke on the 8 o'clock Weighing in
proposition.
After desultory discussion O'Rourke
agreed that the men should weigh in at 8
o'clock at 135 pounds. IL will make that
darky get down to that figure or kill him."
said the manager.
He can't be killed." said Lavigne,
quietly.
TLen came discussion as to the club
that should pull the fight off. Mitchell,
re presenting tne Occluentai CluO, con-
tended that the Club had brought ivigne
out here, paying his fare to come; that
the Occiuenial's bid of rs per cent of the
gross receipts was q most liberal one.
O'Rourke said that so far as he was con-
cerned he was satisfied with the clubs
offer. Similar views were expressed by
Lavigne, and it was mutually agreed that
the fight should be given under the aus
pices of the Occidental Club.
The men will meet this afternoon or
evening al Mitchelfs and sign articles for
The physical culture contest, which prom
ises TO be the most stubbornly and wick
edly fought battle ever given in the
roped arena in San Franci-co.
Director Gibbs OF the National Club
when apprised OF the result of the meet
ing in Mitchell's, felt grieved that the
National Clubs bid of so per cent OF the
gross receipts had been ignored by
o Rourke and Lavigne. He thought mas.
mucn as his clubs bid was the highest
the match should have gone to the Ma.
tional.
Young Mitchell says he fight will take
place the latter part of October or early in
Novem Der.

CURE FOR HYDROPHOBlA.

Liver of the Dog Said to Be an Infa1H-
BILE Remedy for Its Bite.
A French missionary in China wit
messed recently how two of his carriers
were bitten by rabid dog, and was
very much worried about it, says Medi-
cine Moderne. Several Chinese who
happened to be there told him that his
worry was absolutely uncalled for,
since they had an undoubtedly safe
preventive against the poison of a rabjd
dog taking effect, and to prove the as
sertion five Cinnamon who had been
bitten in March of last year by mad
dog were presented to the missionary
He found that Cinnamon eat of the raw
liver of mad dog after being bitten,
and if they partake of this within j
given time after the accident it is said
they will not be subject to hydro
phobia. It is curious that Plinius in
his "Natural History" recommends eat
ing the liver of a mad dog, if bitten, as
raw as possible, and they who could not
swallow the liver raw should have it
cooked and drink the broth therefrom.
1t is not positively known whether this
remedy is effoacious, but it appears TO
be worthy of investigation, particularly
since this seems to be the actual begin
ming of the isopathic treatment since
perfected by Pasteur and Koch.

self; who never whispered or lied or
swore or quarreled; who could train a
horse to pace or trot at will; who stood
squarely upon his own knowledge Of
things without resorting to trick or
mere verbal memory-such a boy, at
this distance, does not appear cor
dinary,' stupid, dull or commonplace.
That he was not snowy or easily valued
was true. His unusualness was in the
balance Of his character, in his pose, in
his native Judgment and in his knowl-
edge of things at first hand.
Even at 16 years of age he had super
stition that to retreat was fatal. When
he set hand to any plan or started upon
any journey he felt the necessity of
going to the turn of the lane or to the
end of the furrow. He was resolute and
unafraid always; a boy to be trusted
and counted upon,-sturdy, capable Of
hard knocks. What he was in speech
he was in grain, If he said: Il can do
that" he not merely meant that he
would try to do it, but also that he had
thought his way to the successful end
of the undertaking. He was, in fact, an
unusually determined and resourceful
boy.

THE CLAlRvOYANT OPERATOR
She Buys or Sells Wheat with a Twist
of the Wrist.


An odd sight is to be witnessed daily
on the Consolidated exchange. Visitors
for some time have noted little group
OF. women who stand all day long in the
gallery at the Broadway end of the
building, says the New York Mail and
Express. They also notice one particu-
lar broker on the floor who is continual
ly craning his neck and glancing at one
of the women in that group. Every once
in awhile, after glance, he jumps into
the wheat pit, which is just under the
edge of the gallery, and makes a trans
action.
Only the observing will notice, how
ever, any connection between his opera
tons and the woman whom he watches
From 10: 80 o'clock till three o'clock she
stands there, with one hand resting over
the railing. With slight movements Of
this hand she gives orders to buy and
sell wheat to the broker. The number
pffngers extended indicates the number
of thousands of bushels to be done, and
a twist up or down of the whole hand
tells the broker whether to buy or sell.
But that is not the queer part of it.
A stranger asked one of the brokers, a
friend of his, who the woman was.
''Why," was the reply, "that's the
clairvoyant operator. She's real clair
voyant all right and she reads the future
turns in the market and buys or sells
accordingly. Or at least she thinks she
reads the future, and maybe she does,

nary woman speculator. She has been

Perpetual Motion By Protection.

TEc California argument for higher
fruit duties is sort of perpetual mo-
ton. The only disadvantage the Cali
fornian fruit raiser is at is to be found
in the cost Of his land, but the only
thing that makes his land expensive is
the prctitableness Of fruit culture.
So the matter works out in this way:
The great profits Of fruit raising sent
the value of land up to hundreds of dol
lars an acre. The interest Oh the value
Of the land makes large item in a
fruit raiser's balance sheet, and be feels
the need of a high price for his fruit
This Senator Jones procures for him by
letting it be known that he will not
vote for the tariff bill unless it contains
duties On hides and increased duties on
fruit and the cheapest sorts of wool.
The increased duty adds to the profits
of fruit culture, and the price of land
takes another rise, whereupon the fruit
grower complains that the interest on
his land investment is SO great or the
rental he has to pay for his land is so
high that there is an insufficient profit
in the business for him. and the only
thing that will save him from disaster
is more duty.
Logically this process can be carried
on indefinitely. Practically it cannot,
because with the increase in the price
Of fruit the consumption of fruit will
decline. The consumer will be worse
off for the change. The grower, SO far
as he is not to be considered as a land
owner, will be no better of, but the
value Of the land will be as high as the
profits Of fruit culture will permit. -

Swapping Free Hides For Dutiable Sugar.

Swapping Free Hides For Dutiable Sugar.
"The senate tariff bill as a whole,''
says ex, Congressman John De Witt
Warner, sis notice to eastern manu-
.facturers of what they may hereafter
expect. Hitherto they have considered
protection as sort Of providential ar
rangement by which they were enabled
to feed Oh the rest of the country. Now,
like Polonius in Hamlet they are in
vited by "a certain convocation of polite
worms to supper mot where they eat,
but where they are eaten. The manu-
facturers Of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit Of 9TH
ers who now control legislation. This
applies especially to the hide schedule. !"
Cannot the New England senators
secure favorable changes in that sched-
ule?''
IT think not. The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the Sugar trust and prob
ably cannot be kept SO except by the
votes controlled by the Cattle trust of
the west. We're the New England sena-
tors willing to risk offending the Sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty Oh hides, but the fact is that Bos-
ton and Providence, in proportion to
their size, are far more thoroughly sat-
urated with Sugar trust influences than
is any other part Of the country, and,
however much Senators Aldrich, Wet
more, Hoar and Lodge may bewail the
Yota Of thair nOot and cboo yoorufoo
tuners, there is no prospect whatever
that they will sacrifice the Sugar trust
interests to help them.''
