match at the Athletic
club next Thursday evening. Irimble Is
one of the most interesting fighters have
seen of late. He acts when he gets IN the
ring as if he was frightened to death, and
in his last contest sprinted so much as to
disgust those who do not look on match OF
this kind as being so much game OF tactics
as of muscle, but in the last few rounds he
showed that he did have heart" and could
strike like lightning. He has very awk-
ward style in appearance fddling his fists
about eternally, but | believe, barring ac-
cidents, he is a man who will make ms marx
in the pugilistic world, He should do up
Gallagher inside of ten rounds, but the con-
test is likely to be one of the best given
lately, and that it will be well conducted
and orderly is guaranteed by the fact that
the Athletic club manages 1t.

FOR SALE-A HANDSOME BROWN
silk dress, trimmed with silk velvet, and
home-canned fruit. San Pedro st.
That was ono of the
Peculiar bargains offered in
Pronosition the liner column of
the Times yesterday
morning. Some one sent the clipping IN
with the request that this new manner OF
dress garniture be explained. The only
method l can imagine OF carrying out such
a design is to find some healthy girl, with
a good appetite, and get her dress OF the
material described and then feed her on
"homc canned fruit 1t is true that IN
this case the trimming would not show, but
the wearer would have the satisfaction of
knowing that it was there, particularly II
she ate enough.
Along with the above elmer came an
other from the same issue, reading as fol-
lows:

Now there is a chance for some theatri-

row of the chorus, the delight of the John

| have been laughed at by some of the
knowing politicians for sticking to it in this
column that Mr.
bulla IN Bulla had a good
the Lead chance for being the
next senator. Today,
as a result of the Herrin- -Spreclles- De
Young scrap, his candidacy looks better
than ever, and it is a good short tend bet
that he will be the man. Bula as poll
tcian has been underestimated, and the diff
ticulty of any one man or trio of editors and
railway attorneys in San Francisco trading
the members of the legislature as they
pleased has also been overestimated. Mr.
De Young's chances are now nit. Colonel
Burns is only a political Joke when consid-
cred as a senator, and the anti-poolroom
and race track influence is enough to pre-
vent a sport from getting the place. The
men who are even indirectly responsible for
the Widbers and McGlades are not the men
who can go to the federal senate. Mr.
Grant has been lost in Washington or any
old place in the east where he thought he
could get the influence of friend of his
fathers on the California legislature, which,
he naively imagined, could be made to vote
as some eastern senator wished. General
Barnes is still possibility, and SO are two
or three others, but today the only man
who even approaches probability OF sue
cess is Mr.. Bulla Tomorrow it may all be
different, for if new material of the right
sort springs up new arrangement of the
votes can be figured on. Today there is no
man who has the election in his vest pocket
or who can promise it to anyone, state
ment that needs no further emphasis than
the ridiculous meeting OF the would-be tri-
umviri in John Dough's office last week.

Brigadier General Otis candidacy has not
been seriously advanced. There is little
doubt that the editor
100 Bitter of the Times would
Pill be hattered as
would any good citi-
zen--at the offer of such an honor. There
is also but little doubt that such contin-
gency was limited at to General-then
Colonel-Otis, when the San Francisco
bosses decided to wean Henry L. Gage from
his senatorial aspirations and train them
in a gubernatorial direction. But while
Gen. Otis would be recognized by Southern
Californians as Il sturdy champion of their
interests at Washington, his immovable OPP
position to the onslaughts of the Octopus
in the past has made him distinctly persona
non grata to the Southern Pacific railway.
As it will be the firm of Uncle Coils, Herrin
g. Co., and not the people of California,
that will choose the next senator from Cal
ifornia, General Otis claims are not likely
to be seriously considered.
