John" said Mrs. Bigger. II can't
see why We should allow any foreign
ountry to wi any of those ISLANDS

They're a good deal nearer the United
States than they are to Europe"
Il know" Mr.. Bilger answered, but
there are some difficulties in the way OF
having things Just as we want them.
We couldn't take those islands with
u getting into trouble with other
countries besides Spain"
do people on those islands want to
belong to Europe?"
Yes, most Of them do"
"why?'
'Oh. / dom know. unless it is be-
cause they think belonging TO Europe

longing to the United States
Which one of these places is Dewey

Dewey. GOOD gracious. these are

What's he doing over there? Why
isn't he here, helping to free a
He Is over there fighting SPAIN"
II never knew that Spain was away
around on the other side of the world.
l thought IL was China that was over
there"
Spain isn't on the other side of the
world. She has possessions over there
or did have"
well. then. why are her army and
all her boats over here? Why don't
they go over to fight Dewey"
You must remember. my dear. that
they can't do a little trick of that kind
In "a few days. 1t would take weeks

"One reason is that having possession

But IL II takes so long to get from

them"
"Oh, say. get a geography and study
a little"
John. l don't believe you know half
as much o this war as you pre-

You're right. After trying to ex-
plain Ii to you. / never know anything
about it,"
Mr.. Bilger was permitted to read,
un~disturbed, for five minutes. during
which time his fair young wife tied
knots in her handkerchief and thought
how changed he was. Presently a
new idea took possession of her. and
she asked:
John, why don't our fleets blockade
Madrid the same as they are blockad-
ing Havana? That would bring the
S~paniards to terms pretty quickly,
would it?"
But John only answered "Uh huh,'
and went IN reading about the bonn

Shaclsleton is building a house i'm the

A day or so ago David quit, owing TO
some disagreement he had with his

A MYSTERIOUS BURGLARY.
Thieves Stole the Ciborium From 81. Pat.
rick's Catholic Church.

Ao1eves StOle the GtDOtbObm FROM 81 iot-
rick's Catholic Church.
A mysterious burglary was reported
yesterday. Father DE Siere of st. Pat
rick's Catholic church informed Chief
OF Police Mulholland that some time
during the night before our gold plated
vessels, the ciborium. containing the
blessed sacrament, had been stolen from
the church. The robbery was discov-
cred by Father Lambaere while he was
celebrating mass at $3.50 in the morn
ing. who at once notified the police. and
when mass was over a careful search
was made to make sure the vessels had
not been misplaced. but they were not
found. and the fathers were forced to
the conviction the church had been
robbed. How the burglary could have
been effected was a mystery, as the
windows were all fastened and the
doors locked when the sexton arrived,
and no one entered the church between
that time and the time of the discov-
cry
A circumstance which transpired late
in the afternoon ead to the belief that
whoever committed the burglary was
familiar with the place. When the
search OF the church was made nothing
was found on the altar of the sacred
heart. but during the afternoon one OF
the fathers found the contents of the
vessels, the blessed sacrament. on the
altar. 1t was quite evident they had
been returned during the day and left
there. The thief or thieves doubtless
thought a rich a IA was being made.

REFUSED TO FIGHT.
The Eifteen-Round Contest Between Critic
and Mcconnell Did Not Take Place.
Not Enough Money.

Vallejo, Cal, Jan. 1.-THE 15-round
glove contest between young Critic and
Frank Mcconnell did not take place
tonight. Owing to the small size of
the house Mcconnell refused to enter
the ring, saying there was not enough
money in sight. After protracted
wrangle Billy Lewis was chosen az sub
stitute for Mcconnell. Tom Sharkey
was accepted as referee and at 1850 y.
M. the men entered the ring. 1t was
agreed not to hit in the clinches and to
fight for a decision. Rough and tumble
fighting began in the first round. Lewis
assumed the aggressive and enraged
Critic. who fought back with fierceness.
Sharkey was kept busy preventing the
men from clinching As the bell sound
ed both men were on the floor in a
clinch.
In the second round Critic landed
hard several times on Lewis jaw and
neck and wind with his left. Lewis was
strong. but inclined to fight foul. Both
men were in good condition
AT the opening of the third round
Critic landed his left three times on
the law in quick succession. Lewis
countered a wicked uppercut with his
right Critic landed his left and right
repeatedly on the face and jaw. In
trying to part them Sharkey got d
smash on the ear from Lewis, who
promptly apolOg1Zed. The men were
strong at the end of the round.
In the fourth round after mix-up
the men spared cautiously. Grifho
said: why don't you fight?''
Lewis replied Why don't you?"
This round was less rough than the
preceding ones.
Critic landed several times in the fifth
round. Lewis apparently holding his jaw
out to be hit The next three rounds
were characterized by light sparring,
Critic drawing first blood in the seventh
Lewis was unable to land. In the ninth
round Critic landed on the face and
stomach. Lewis stood up well and
landed on Critics wind.
The tenth and last round was lively.
Lewis hit hard on CRITICS neck. He fell
through the ropes. but Immediately re-
peated his neck blow. Critic was
quick as a cat and landed many times,
but did not seem to worry his hi" op-
ponent. Lewis uppercut in clinch
and again hit Sharkey this time below
the belt Lewis showed a bruise in the
face and red blotches on his chest.
Critic was very red. but was not pun
ished AT the sound of the gong Shar-
key gave the fight 10 Critic. Lewis
weighed 100 pounds and was not trained
for the contest.

THEY HAD A CLOSE CALL
Street Car Collides With a M. u.
Switch Engine.
DANGER SEEN TOO LATE
Miss May Williams and Mss Sullivan
Receive Severe Injuries in the
Collision-They Will Not
Prove Fatal.

BY a collision between a street car
on the Meaderville line and a Montana
Union switch engine near the Boston &;
Montana smelter at Meaderville yester-
day morning Miss May Williams, a
clerk at Prahman's dry goods store, and
Miss Sullivan a clerk at o. X. Lewis,
who were on their way to the city, We're
seriously, but not fatally injured. The
accident occurred when the 1:So o'clock
trip to Meaderville was being made.
The car was in charge OF Conductor
Graham and Motorman Russell. and was
making its return trip. Near the Butte
G. Boston smelter the street railway,
on down grade, is crossed by the Mon
tana Union track. Usually the motor
man stops his car within Is or 20 feet
of the track. but lately the track has
been so slippery from ice that II has
been considered dangerous TO run so
close to the Montana Union track before
stopping and the motorman has been in
the habit for some time of stopping his
car on top of the hill, about 200 feet
from the Montana Union track. He did
so yesterday morning and gave the
usual alarm signals. At the same time
the Montana UniCn engine was standing
near the crossing.
AS soon as Motornan Russell had
given the usual alarm he started his
engine started. Instantly both motor
man and engineer saw the danger that
threatened and both reversed, but too
late to prevent collision. The car and
engine came together with sufficient
force to crush some Of the timbers in
the car. but very little damage would
have resulted had it not been for the
fact that the passengers. giving way to
a natural fear tried to save themselves
from a possible wreck. Miss Williams
Jumped off the rear end of the platform
lust as the collision occurred, and as the
car was thrown back the wheel caught
her left foot and crushed it, but did not
pass over ii or break any bones. The
injury. however, was very painful, and
Miss Williams was removed to her home
in Meaderville, where she received
medical attendance.
Miss Sullivan Jared worse than Miss
Williams She also sprang UP TO leave
the car as the collision was about to
occur When the car and engine came
together a piece Of timber broken from
the bottom of the car was forced up
through the trap door and Miss Sulli-
van fell, striking the back of her head
on the broken timber. which inflicted u
frightful cash between six and eight
inches long and cut through to the
skull and severed an artery. She, too,
was instantly removed to her home and
DR.. Freund was summoned. He tied w
the artery and made an examination OF
the wound, but concluded not to sew il
up until to-day. He said the skull was
not injured and that Miss Sullivan
would soon recover from the frightfu
| wound.
There were six or eight other passen-
| gers in the car, but no others were In
| jured Some jumped and other remained
| in their seats and escaped injury
