GAVE HER ALL, NOW POOR.
Liberal Contributions, TO Mission,
Impoyerishes Mrs. BOYD

New York. April 12.-Giving for mission
work has been "a lifelong custom with
Mrs. Robert Boyd. of HiIlsdale n. j. Now
at the age of eighty-live she with her
husband, who is nearly as old as herself,
is almost penniless. Even now lying i'll
in her home and seeming hardly to know
what is passing around her. she continu-
ally asks for a copy of the Missionary
Journal that she may know what is being
done in China and India. From small
savings she has given s1,GO0 in gold to
different missions in those countries
Hardworking and frugal the Boyds have
always Been. They have for many years
been members of the Hillsdale Methodist
Church. Mr.. Boyd was once treasurer
of the congregation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Boyd occupy a small cot
tage in Hillsdale. Mr.. Boyd has support
ed himself and his wife by working for
farmers. He seldom earned more than =
a day, but out OF this Mrs. Boyd always
saved something for missions. Often she
would contribute also TO donations for the
minister.
Mrs Boyd kept her savings I'm gold
which she boarded in the house. When
she got enough ahead it would straight
way find its way TO the mission field.
Mr.. Boyd became i'll year ago, and his
brother. William. who is also an old man.
was summoned from Brooklyn to take
care of him. He recovered, but never. has
been able TO work since William has
since made his home with his brother
and sister-in-law.
Mrs. Boyd three weeks ago reminded
William that he had paid no board since
he came TO live with them. He inquired
how much he owed and she told him the
sum was $500
William had saved that amount He
was growing old and had no one 10 leave
II TO. He gave it to Mrs. Boyd.
Robert Boyd learned of this the next
day and told his brother he should not
have done it-that his wife would give
all the money TO missions. They after
ward learned that she had forwarded il
to China and India. Letters, thanking
her for the money, have been received
from missionaries there
Mrs. Boyd became i'll q week ago Ii is
not thought she will recover Although
there are hardly the necessaries of life in
the house for even one or the three old
prisons, Mrs. Boyd seems not to think
OF that at all Her talk is OF missions
and the far off heather.

LAVIGNE AND DAILY.
The Former Thought to Have Had
the Best of Last Nights Hout.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE swellest sxround
fight ever brought of here was that between
Kid" Lavigne and Jack DAILY at the Arena last
night. Ii was a magnificent exhibition and when
the gong sounded in the sixth round ii would
have been almost impossible to have named the
winner DAILY did more Of the leading but was a
triae wild, and at those times Lavigne got in his
work. However, the hid was by far the more
used up OF the two at the conclusion Of the bout
and from his actions he would not have been very
dangerous for DAILY had the bout gone ten rounds
Today he bears marks all over his body and also
possesses beautiful left eve.
The general impression among those who know
the fighting game that Lavigne was the bet
ter man in a long fight. He did not land as often
II is true, but when he did get in the steam
behind the blows something to marvel az
Two or three times he landed on Daly's BODY
with enough force to make most men quit the
business for good. and at the end Of the fourth
round the effect was more or less apparent in
DAlNs actions.
IL is question whether Daly's constant tat
tooing on the Kids face, Lavigne's body blows
cut the most ice. Ii is safe TO say that for
short bout Days work was the more elective
Both men were in the finest condition annar-
entity, although Daly's good finish demonstrated
That Sam Fitzpatrick had put him through the
lines very carefully.
Behind Lavlgne were Harry Marks. Jack Fo-
sarty and Harry Walton. Behind Daly were
Fam Fitzpatrick, Dan Holland and Johnny Mack.

Yousouf. the Terrible Turk" official
entertainer Of the sultan, the man who
when Al home on his farm near Con-
stantinople throws bulls from their feet
using their horns i'm the fashion that
dumb bells are handled. is in Washington
at the service OF anybody who thinks he
is wrestler.
Yousouf came to this country two
months ago to satisfy a caprice of the
sultan, who regards him as a world
heater in his line. He draws a pension
OF so month from the Turkish gov
eminent, according TO Interpreter De-
metris. He is commissioned by his dis
ungUished employer to compare his prov
ess with that Of the champions of all
countries, and three months hence he is
expected to tell his high chief all about
his American conquests.
Yousouf has made but two tests of his
skill in this country-one at New York
with ROeber. who got the decision on an
alleged foul, and the other at Philadel-
phia Tuesday night with Mccormick. who
was made 10 measure his shoulders on
the floor in less than seven minutes.
The wrestler is thirty-three years old,
feet inches tall. and weighs 262 pounds
Fifteen years ago he was a sergeant in
the Turkish army, and one day astounded
his comrades by lifting 100 pounds of
rice. That hour dated his fame. and soon
afterward he was invited TO display his
strength before the sultan.
Since then he has drawn a salary and
appeared in the palace at Constantnople
every Friday afternoon in feats of
strength.
'Housouf" said his interpreter last
night, drinks little and smokes less. but
eats twelve pounds Of meat a day. I be-
lieve he is the strongest man in the
world"
Next Thursday night the fight between
Mike DAILY and Peter Petersen will be
pulled of at Stubener's roadhouse Mr..
is eXerting every effort to make it a
success. He has arranged two frst-class
preliminary bouts One will be between
John Lawson and Jimmie Hall for eight
rounds and another between Arthur
Jones and Ralph Irwin for six rounds.
Petersen and DAILY are both training
the former in this city and the
latter at Colonial Beach On the eve Of
the contest it may prove interesting to
the followers of the ring to publish the
records of the two men:
Daily has met and defeated Bill Daily in
rs rounds; Billy Frazier, rounds; jim
ME Nelson. IA rounds; Walter Campbell
rounds; Jack Hanley, 3 rounds; Billy
Dacy. ; rounds; Mike Leary, 10 rounds:

His only defeat was by Austin Gibbons in

1898.
