Clear, headed and somewhat pro
phetic, he decided that Arizona was
the place to get foothold. He got a
half interest in several good mining
properties, and his wonderful energy
and leadership began to assert itself
The miners came to him to settle their
brawls; the rangers accepted him as
the court of final appeal, SO equitable
and just were his rulinge. Finally he
was elected Judge of Yavapai county,
and sat on the bench for some time.
Subsequently he was elected Sheriff
for three successive terms, and while
in that office demonstrated his cour.
age and fearlessness. None of the
desperadoes of Arizona ran amuck
more than once in Sheriff O'Neill's
biliwick. O'Neill was the best armed
man in the territory, and also the best
shot.
Finally, after many ups and downs,
with desperate chances and five fights
with six shooters, in which he got the
drop on law breakers, he retired as
Sheriff Of Yavapai county and moved
to Prescott, Ariz., where he ran three
times for Congress, being defeated in
each instance by small majority.
His next political venture was to run
for Mayor of Prescott. He was elect
ed unanimously, and the only vote
against him was cast by himself.
Every man, woman and child in Ari-
iona knew and called him "Buckey,"
and every one loved him.
When the war broke out Buckley
had been living somewhat quiet and
uneventful life. When Roosevelts
regiment was being formed he
quickly decided to raise a company,
and he got quota of troops together
with such rapidity that President Nc
Kinley sent him telegram of thanks.
There was not man in Arizona who
would not have been glad to die by
"Buckey" O'Neill's side.

Schley was making the dirt and
stones fly, as per order, when his
quartermaster rushed to him excitedly,
stating that the Admiral had signalled
to stop firing and return to the fleet.

away till nothing but ruins marked the

Farragut sent for Schley at once,
and, before all the officers of the flag
ship, gave him a fierce raking down
for not obeying the recall signal.
Then the stern old Admiral took
the disobedient commander into the

Tom O'Rourke has practically de-
cided to match Tom Sharkey and Joe
Goddard. The latter, notwithstand.
ing his defeat by Maher. made more
friends during the contest than Peter
did. He is anxious to fight, as there
is bad feeling between Goddard and
the sailor over the result of their last
contest in San Francisco, which was
won by Sharkey after slam bang
rough and tumble scramble.
Jeffries is quite willing to fight, bu,
being tied up with one club there
appears to be little chance of his be-
ing pitted against man capable Of
bringing out all his resources. The
double encounter with Steve O'Don-
nell and Bob Armstrong will be little
better than farce, for if Jeffries has
the caliber he is reported to possess
he should dispose Of those two oppo-
nents in short order. If Jeffries could
get $40, 900 side stake his way to
a match with Fitzsimmans would be
clear, as Julian has announced that
Fitz will meet Jeffries for the heavy
weight championship provided the
stake is forthcoming. 1t is quite like
ly the astute Delaney will send his
man after easier game than Champion

SCHLEY AND PARRAGUT.
How the Old Admiral Maintained Dis
cipline.

Schley was commander of a gun
boat under Farragut during the civil
war, and there is story being told
which speaks better for the Commo-
dore's admirable fighting qualities than
for his acquiescence in discipline. He
was summoned one morning by the
great naval hero of the day, who pre-
faced his order by asking Schley if he
saw that Confederate fort. Of course
Schley saw it, for the fort was one of
the most conspicuous and most studied

CAPTAIN BUCKLEY" o'NR1LL.
Miner, Scout, Judge, Sheriff, Mayor,
Soldier, Hero and All Round
Good Fellow.

Capt. "Buckey" O'Neill, the most
picturesque man of the West, was
among the first to go down in that
thrilling charge of the rough riders up
the hillside at San Juan, in the cam
paign before Santiago, says the New
York Journal.
A brave spirit and a unique char
acter, "Buckey" O'Neill was known
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
his epitaph can not be better
epitomized than in his own graphic
phrase, written just before the de-
parture from Tampa, "Who would
not gamble for new star in the f1agP'
"Buckey" gambled and lost, and the
rough riders are mourning gallant
fighter, man who never knew fear,
who had shot five men in his day,
and who went to the front at the
head of 800 intrepid Arizona citizens,
all as anxious and as proud to die as
Buckley died-with his boots on and
his face to the enemy.
William O'Neill was born of Irish
parentage in St. Louis in 1860. Com
ing East with his mother and broth
ers, he graduated from the National
Law School of the District of Colum-
bia. Later, out of seventy.two APP
plicants for Assistant Paymaster of

under which the prisoner was to be
tried admitted that he was political
prisoner. What was asked in this
amendment was extremely small. So
far as he knew England was the only
country that treated political prisoners
in the same way as ordinary criminals,
and all that was asked by this amend
ment was that men admitted by the
Crown to be political prisoners should
be placed in different category to
other prisoners. He quoted the case
of the United States to show that after
the terrible rebellion no prisoner was
executed, so far as his memory car
ried him, and that after a period OF
three years not single individal was
left in Jail. Let them compare the
action of the great Republic of the
West with the action of England. To
this very hour the British Government
refused to relax their grip on the un-
fortunate individuals whom for fifteen
years they had treated with abomin-
able cruelty and barbarity. What, he
asked, was the object of the treason
felony act2
The Speaker-Order, order. The
only question now before the House
is the treatment Of those convicted
under the treason felony act.
Mr.. Dillon said he did not think he
was out of order in reference to the
treason felony act, for, of course,
the avowed object of the act was to
degrade Irish political prisoners to the
level of the vilest English convicts.
That fact alone constituted one of the
strongest grounds which the Irish
members had for demanding change
in the present prison system. In this
matter of political prisoners England
was far behind Russia and France
and other nations, where the prisoners
were treated with consideration be-
cause of the fact that political motives
animated them. In connection with
this matter the history of England had
been one of retrogression, for in the
days of the Georges political prisoners
were more humanely treated. This
system, against which protest was
now being made, was new one. He
did not believe anything of the kind
was heard or dreamt of until the
British Government found they had
Irish political prisoners to deal with.
He contrassed the sffe2ses and the
prison treatment of Jameson, Will
loughby and their friends with that
dealt out to Irish prisoners, and he
went on to say that for the last thirty
years upward of five thousand Irish
men had passed through the jails of
England and Ireland for political
crimes often times less magnitude than
those committed by Jameson, Will
oughby and others.
A division was taken on the amend
nent, and the vote was as follows:
For the amendment, o.; against, 1913.

SPORTY ITEMS.

A Chicago paper says: "Don't be
surprised if Fred Clarke is an Orphan

After closing the series at Brooklyn
the Colonies return home to do bust
ness with the Browns.
The games between the Colonies
and Browns will have great effect
on their final standing.
If the Colonies make an even break
with the Brooklyns they will have
good hold on eleventh place.
Mcbride is doing better for Cincin-
natl than he did at the beginning. He
is hitting the ball and fielding fairly
we'll.
Boston now has clear title to the
whitewash record. The champions
have been shut out eight times this
season.
1t is said that Billy Nash, the old
third baseman of the Phillies, is en-
tertaining an offer to turn pitcher for
the Orioles.
Brooklyn may give Stafford place
on the regular team. He is good
man and would add strength to the
Bridegrooms.
The release of Stafford is certain to
be questioned by the local rooters.
He was the best hitter on the club
except Dexter.
There is talk of the Western League
breaking up for the season and In
dianapolis taking Cleveland's place in
the big League.
Kid Hennessy, who has been COM
PEELED to forego sparring for some
time past, is now getting into form,
and the youngsters will soon hear
from him.
Tommy White and Solly Smith
have been matched to box twenty-five
rounds at I22 pounds before the
Greater New York A. c., Coney
Island, on August 2.
Old Tom Kinslow is catching for
the Senators. Wagner was so sue
cessful in resurrecting Augie weighing,
once with the Colonies, that he
thought he would try Kinslow.
Steve Brodie has gone to his home
at Roanoke, Va, and if his shoulder
does not mend rapidly Baltimore will
want another fielder. Hanlon is in
curing about Holiday and may make
him an offer.
1t looks like Cincinnati, Boston,
Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago and
New York in the first division, and
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Washington,
Brooklyn, Louisville and St. Louis in
the second six.
Sharkey will be the next pugilist
to go on the stage. He signed con-
tract with Louis Lesser, the vaude-
vile manager, under the terms Of
which he is to give a series of spar
ring exhibitions with variety CON-
pany. Sharkey will not disclose the
financial agreement, but claims it
gives him more than he can make
through an occasional fight.
Tom Sharkey is much disgruntled
over the way the big fellows are treat
ing him, and is seriously thinking Of
returning to San Francisco. Sharkey
may still have chance to meet some
one, for Ed Dunkhorst, the Syracuse
heavyweight, has issued def to box
the ex sailor ten or twenty rounds.
Dunkhorst has fought such men as
Jim Hall and Bob Armstrong.

GERNANY'S ACCESSION.
China Yields to the Power of the
Kaiser's Government.
KIAO-OH0U BAY is CONCEDED.

English Newspapers Declare That the
Chinese Government Was Compelled
to succumb to Physical Force. and
England Must Have Equal Privileges
Berlin, jan G.-The Reichslnzeiger
announces that, according to a tele-
gram from Pekin, an understanding has
been reached between Germany and
China regarding the cession of Kiao-
Chou bay to the former. The arrange
ment, it is added, is substantially as
follows:
1t is intended by the cession to render
possible for Germany the fulhllment Of
her just wish for the possession, in the
same way as other powers, of a base
for trade and navigation in Chinese
waters.
The cession of IIiao-Chou bay to Ger
many takes the form of a lease for an
indefinite time Germany is at liberty
to erect on the ceded territory all the
necessary buildings and establishments,
and to take the measures required for
their protection.
The ceded territory comprises the
whole of the inner basin Of Kiao- Chou
bay so far as the high water line, the
larger headlands situated south and
north Of the entrance of the bay, to the
point where they are naturally bounded
by mountain ranges, and also the ISL
ands situated within and in front of
the bay.
The ceded territory comprises an area
of several square miles bounded by a
larger zone around the bay, within
which no measures or arrangements
may be made by China without the
consent of Germany. In particular, nC
obstacles are to be raised by China tC
any measures Germany deems neces-
sary for the regulation of the water
| courses.
Finally, in order to avoid conflicts
which might disturb the good under.
| standing between the two powers
China has transferred to Germany, fql
a period, a lease of all sovereign rights
over the ceded territory.
If for any cause Kiao-Chou bay
should prove unsuitable for the objects
| Germany has in view China, after ar.
irving at an understanding with Ger
many, win cede the latter, at another
| point of the coast, a piece of territory
| which Germany may regard as more
| suitable for her purpose. In that cas-,
China will take over the buildings anC
establishment constructed by Germany
at Kiao-Chou bay and refund theiI
cost.

A Hint to Women They Will Not be
Slow to Take.

Women win husbands by their beauty. 1t
is mistake to think that man does not pay
much attention to his wife's beauty after
marriage. He is always charmed by her
good looks, vivacity and bright appearance.
These attributes of beauty depend entirely
on her maintaining good health. The
prudent wife, therefore, will not allow her
personal attractions to fade. She will not
permit her complexion to lose its roses, her
face to become sallow. her lips purple or
colOrless, her eyes heavy and crows feet to
appear under the eyeids through the weak
ness, nervousness, ailments, and the cares
and worries so common to women. She can
not be bright joyous and happy with the
weight of female weakness and disease
dragging her down with its tran of weaken
ing and exhausting symptoms, headache
