 REFEREES WHO
 WILL
 KILL BOXING
< 4 4 < 4 < 4 4 4 4

If those who manage boxing affairs in this city would instruct their master of ceremonies to announce before the con- testants of prize fight enter the ring that Queensberry rules are no longer ob served in this city they would be favor ing many patrons of the game who are still of the opinion that the Queensberry rules govern all boxing contests.
 The recent twenty-round bout between Layigne and Tracey was given to the Saginaw Kid" because he slugged the hardest and scored the greater number of misses. Lavigne was the aggressor, and on that account alone he was awarded the decision. Tracey outclassed him in every other particular, but the referee understood the game only from a sIog gers point of view, and that gave Lavigne the match.
 On Thursday night Jack StelZner ref creed contest, and when he decided in flavor of Maxwell he knew only too we'll that he cheated Denny out of a game which hr won beyond all possible doubt. Stelzner understands the rules, but when certain inducements were offered to him to close his eyes on Queensberry he evil dently forgot what straight hitting, neat defensive work, clever ducking and beau tiful side-stepping meant.
 Maxwell, who is purely slogger of the 2o-cent boxing club school, demonstrated
 
 Judgment that he has yet much to learn about fisticuffs.
 It is certain that professional boxing in this city will soon see it's end unless the clubs will select their own referees, who must be instructed to read the Queens berry rules carefully and decide contests according to them. Referees selected by the fighters are guided solely by the ad- vice they receive from some gambler who works the pool boxes in his own inter ests, and as long as the fighters will have any voice in the selection of referees the sport must suffer the consequences.
 Have the owners of race horses a say as to who must judge any particular race at 1ngleside or Oakland track?
 What would the directors of the Cali fornia Jockey Club think if they were approached by brace of horsemen and asked to appoint certain judges for some race that they, the tricksters, were in- terested in?
 Yet. while the pugs can select referees who are to their fancy the sporting fra ternity can. expect to witness only hip podromes of the worst kind imaginable
 The National Club is really the only club in this city that has record for holding clean fistic entertainments. It has given good shows in the past and doubtless its next entertainment on the 30th inst. will be we'll worth seeing. George Green always puts up a, stiff ar gument, and if Creedon is the Creedon of a few years ago the sports who will attend ''the mill'' may expect to see a good fight

MARK LANES INJUNCTION. Argument on Motion to Dissolve It
 Heard by Judge Belcher.

Argument on the motion to dissolve the injunction heretofore issued in the suit of Mark Lane against the Board of Edu- cation was heard by Judge Belcher yes terday morning: Lane in his petition for about to appoint many new teachers and was about to illegally close the Business Evening School. A temporary injunction was issued by Judge Belcher and the mo- tion to dissolve this injunction was heard yesterday.
 Judge Van R. Paterson, who represented Junction should be made permanent by reason that the schools are now abund- antly supplied with teachers and hat ad- ditional appointments would involve a waste of public funds. Attorney Jacob Samuels on behalf of the board, contend ed that the court had no power to issue the injunction in the premises and asked that the petition be dismissed. Judge Belcher took the matter under advise ment.

 NO COURSING TO-DAY AT INGLESIDE

There will not be any coursing to-day, as Judge Grace left this city yesterday for Los Angeles, where he will judge the big Christmas day meeting.
 Very extensive preparations have been made by the sportsmen of Southern Cali fornia for the meeting, which will be at tended by thousands of people from all parts of California. Colonel Black, to whose untiring efforts is due largely the success which coursing is now enjoying in Los Angeles, is determined to spare neither time nor expense in giving the lovers of the game grand Christmas holiday, and with that object in view he has engaged the best military band in Los Angeles to play during the intermission between the courses.
 Ingleside Park will put on new dress next month. The association, which is looking out for it's best interests, contem- plates making several improvements, be- sides adding new features. One of the new features which will catch the eye of the sportsmen is a large blackboard, which will be placed in the betting ring within full view of the pool sellers and the spectators. After each course the names of the winner and loser and the points they scored during the course will appear on the board. This will give those who may differ from the judge in opinion chance to see what each dog has done.
 The entering of dogs for the drawings under the names of -So-and-so's kennel will in future be done away with by the managers of Ingleside Park, as there is too large an opportunity for trickery to be practiced under this new but danger ous system of entry. The owners of dogs will be compelled to enter their charges in their own names so that the betting puDllc can form some idea as to who the rfghtful owner of the dog or dogs may be.
 The next meeting at Ingleside Park will be held on Saturday week, and the draw ing for the same will take place next Thursday evening at Pythian Castle

CHEATED THE MOOSE AGAIN.
Kellini Guilty, but the Penalty Fixed
 at Life Imprisonment.

Tomasso Kelhni, the Italian fisherman, who shot and killed his mistress, Louisa Spain, will not hang for his crime, but will spend the rest of his days in prison. The jury in his case, after being out all night, came into court yesterday morning and returned a verdict nnding the defend ant guilty of murder in the first degree, but fixed the punishment at imprisonment for life. It is understood that seven of the jurors voted for a hanging verdict up to the last minute, but finally. when court was about to convene, gave in and voted for life imprisonment.
 KelliniS crime was a cold-blooded one and he, as well as the District Attorney S office, expected that the death penalty would be inflicted

The Worlds Supply of Wheat.

An English expert prophecies a universal the wheat producing soil Is unequal to the strain that will be put upon it. Even now when the food supply of the world is ample thousands die because their disordered stom- achs fail to properly assimilate the food they take. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters strengthen and tone up the stomach and digestive organs, and enable them to perform their proper func- tions. This great remedy cures dyspepsia, tor pid liver, nervousness and fever and ague.

Bacon Place Gases.

When the cases of the women arrested in Bacon place for vagrancy were called before Justice of the Peace Barry in Judge Conlan's court yesterday Attorney Lennon, for the prosecution, asked that the case of Emma Wardell be first set for trial. Attorney Ach preferred the case of Emma de Loudre. The acting Judge adopted Ach's suggestion, and set the case for trial on January g. This led to an angry exchange of words between Len non and the acting Judge, but the latter was not to be moved from the position he had taken.

Slight Loss by Theft.
There has been some criticism OF the ac-
ton Of the library commission In throwing
the book shelves open 10 the general pub
lie and allowing borrowers TO wander about
at will choosing books. I'VE take pains
TO impress on the public that the library
is theirs" said Librarian Smith yesterday
in discussing this. when borrowers find
they can get what they want legitmately
and know they are trusted, the temptation
TO steal book or portions OF a book is
very slight. our loss in this way has been
insignificant The many advantages Of
leaving the shelves open outweigh the dis
advantages. 1t is discourlging to a Dor
rover 10 have TO stand in line a long time
with hist Of numbers and in the end find
that all the books called for are out. As IL
Is now members can see for themselves
what is In and need waste no time making
a choice. We lose practically nothing by
mutiIation. one time a sailor tore the
cut Of a ship from Wehster's dictionary and
occasionally a table Is gone from some
hand book for prospectors or engineers but
srch thong htlesSness il very uncommon.
Borrowers are cautioned 10 take the best
care of books and we seldom have any
trouble In this way
