CAUGHT IT BOXING.

San Francisco, Barch 20.-The Call says: Joe Choynski is suffering from blood poisoning, and his illness is a serious one. The cause is not posi- lively known but it is believed to have been due to inoculation from a sore on the arm of George Green with whom Choynski spared while the former was training for his fight with Ryan. It is certain Choynski will not be able to enter the ring for some time

INDIANS AS ENTERTAINERS.
Interesting Programme Presented at
 the Indian School Saturday Night.

The Saturday night entertainments very popular, many people from the city driving out to the school to en- joy them. Since Superintendent Me Cowan took charge of the school he has encouraged the pupils to look forward to these entertainments and they enter into the pleasures of the evening with great zest.
 The chapel was crowded last Satur- day night, and an unusually interest ing programme was carried out. Many of the Indian boys and girls have learned to dance, and some of them are exceedingly graceful. The Indian band was stationed on the platform and it played waltzes, schottisches, polkas and quadrilles with a snap anu rythm that compelled some of the vis- itors to join in the merry whirl. At 9:SO o'clock the band was dismissed and some of the brightest pupils gave an exhibition of their really clever ability as soloists and speakers. Two original addresses by Pueblos won well merited applause. The enter tainnent closed with a chorus by six teen members of the school choir.
 The Indian school is now one of the best in the United States, and when the improvements soon to be made are completed it will stand in the very front rank of this class of insti-
 
 man of great experience and force, and his example has served to make every employe enthusiastic, with the result that the dusky pupils are making ex- traordinary progress. The people of Phoenix should not fail to avail them selves of the privilege of inspecting the Indian school. They will find thcra much that will interest them.

FORTIFYING PENSACOLA.
TRANCE IS FEARFUL.
A Debtor Whose Case Grows More and
 More Hopeless.

Madrid, March 20.-Madrid papers, with few exceptions, have during the past few days been trying to convince the public that there was never any question of General Fitzhugh Lees re- call from Havana. The facts in the case, however, are exactly as cabled to the Associated Press.
 It is rumored that the Bank of France has threatened the Spanish government, demanding that it shall settle the question of payment to the railway companies within a fixed time. Senor Castello's visit to Madrid is connected with this matter.

On the day we were talking another man, also an invalid, passed. When he had gone out of hearing l remarked to my companion that A had told me the day before that he had gained twenty pounds within the last two weeks.
 "'He's a liar!' cried my companion pettishly; he's got the consumption as bad as I have In his indignation at the bare prospect of As recovery he admitted what he had been denying even to himself"
 This peculiar selfishness, not to say inhumanity Of the sick. is illustrated in another incident:
 While spending winter in Tucson II met man named S. who be- lieved and said that he was far on the road to death of tuberculosis. All his aims in life were concentrated into two ambitions and one desire. One ambition was the satisfaction of af 1 abnormal appetite; the other was t. die after living many years, of som other disease than tuberculosis, no that any other disease was less pain i full, but because as he often said, that he might fool the Almighty, who had afflicted him. His wish was that no- l body might have better health than he himself enjoyed.
 Whenever an invalid came in, if 1 he seemed in a particularly bad way, S. cultivated his acquaintance, and if 1 his case was hopeless and he was bit ter and profane, strong friendship sprang up between them. One day man named Boggs, upon whose set, arrived in town. He was barely able to walk and could only speak in gasps. S. was filled with glee. He's got cavity!' he exclaimed joyfully. He'll go home in less'n month cured. The mikes won't bite him any more- He'll be well enough to travel in baggage car-in box and S. studiously cultivated Boggs' ae- quaintance. Within two weeks the climate began to perform miracle on Boggs. His eye became brighter and he seemed to be taking on flesh. Never mind said S., not losing hope, he'll go. The mikes are just spittin' OH their hands to take a new hold. And the blank fool thinks he's gettin' we'll After that S. began to avoid Boggs as if he had the plague.
 "Boggs' improvement continued. His
 
 months he looked as little like a con- sumptive as could be imagined. His physicians told him that he had not had consumption, but had been going in that direction. S. took Boggs' re- covery as personal affront and re- placed confidence. He no longer rec ognized Boggs on the street or at the lodging house and would point at him with an oath and sheer: That - Boggs,' he said; he came here repre- sentin' that he had the consumption when there wasn't nothin the matter with him at all, only he was fugi- tive from justice. I wish knew what, his right name was and where he came from. I'd write to the authori- ties and tell 'em to get out a requisf- tion for him.
 "This is only one of many similar incidents in the latter end of S-'s ca reer. At last his illness increased to such a degree that he was removed to the hospital, where he soon after died. But he was triumphant in death. One ambition was gratifed. An au- topsy showed that the immediate cause of dissolution was an affection Of the liver.'

Refunding Of War Premiums

The Insurance Press has interviewed sew
eral of the life insurance companies with
reference to the refunding of war premiums
with varying results. 1t will be of inter-
est to quote from our contemporary as fol
lows:
An officer of the Home Life said that the
company's experience had been so favorable
that it was justified in returning all extra
premiums.
Assistant Secretary j. L. Kenway of the
United States Life said: mo war permits
were applied for on such of our policies as
had the war clause inserted, and conse
quently no extra premiums were collected,
so there are none to be returned. 1t is too
early yet for us to say what our experience
has been as regards extra mortality caused
by the war We have had one OF two claims
arising from deaths caused by typhoid and
kindred camp diseases; and Lieutenant
John j. Blandin of the Maine, who died
from the effect of the explosion, was a
policy holder in our company"
An officer of the Germana Life said:
"The Germania Life Insurance company
gave to all holders of policies for amounts
not exceeding $4,000 free permits to serve
in the Spanish American war within and
outaide Oh the United States. Thus no
extra premiums having been charged, there
cannot be any returned. Deaths in army,
2; in navy, none"
The Equitable Life Assurance society has
not as yet taken any action looking to the
return of the extra war premiums. The
society has large number Of policy hold
ers still in the service of the government,
among them many who are in Porto Rico.
While its experience in war risks is receiy-
ing close attention, the officers believe that
it is too early to forecast actual results.
Assistant Secretary Hubbard of the Prov
ident Savings said: 1--WE have not as yet
decided as to the question in point. As
to our mortality experience, / will say
that it has been very light. We have had
only two losses, policies of $1,000 EACH"
Vice President Halsey of the Manhattan
said: Colonel Charles A. Wickof, Twenty
second regiment, U. s. A., killed, was a
policy holder in the Manhattan; we have a
rumor of two deaths from sickness in camp,
but have no positive information regard
ing the same. / cannot answer your ques-
tion as to the return of premium. Our
policy was SO liberal that we covered almost
every case without extra charge"
Advices from Boston are to the effect that
neither the New England Mutual Life nor
the John Hancock charged extra premiums
on war policies, consequently they have no
premiums to return. Neither of these com
panies has collated its army and navy ex-
perence The John Hancock had no loss
in its ordinary branch.
The Union Mutual Lie reports nine war
deaths. 1t made no extra war premiums
Its war losses up to this time number
eighteen; amount 100000.
