Tom Sharkey Defeated.

San Francisco, May 6-Jim Jefries. the big California boxer, won what is conceded as the semi final heat Tn the championship of the world in the prize ring. He fought Tom Sharkey, the the hard-headed -saifor, through % rounds and out-tought him in every round. While he did not succeed in putting his doughty adversary to sleep. he had him in state of distress at least half dozen times. The sailors wonderful recuperative powers stood him in good stead, however. and he absorbed all the hard knocks from the big fellow and came on for more of the same kind. The decision of the referee. Alexander Greggains, was received with by the multitude. Sharkey took his defeat coolly and showed few marks from the drubbing he had re- ceived.

 Office of the First Presidency of the Church Of
 Jesus Christ Of Latterday Saints.
 Salt Lake City, Utah.
 April 2S, 1SyS. Hon. Heber NJ. Wells, Governor of the State of Utah:
 Dear Governcr-We have read with much in terest your proclamation to the people of our state, in which you call, in response to the Pres ident of the United states, for the enlistment of 500 en to furnish Utah's quo.a of the l25 ,OC0 volunteers called fo- by the President to serve iu the army f the United States for two years
 The people whom we represent are lovers of peace, and woxld do anything in their power, consistent with honor and the patriotic duty which every citizen owes to his country, to avert war and its dreadful strain of consequences Be ause of this feeling we have been led to ad- mire the course which has been taken by Pres;d- Cnt Mckinley throughout this Spanish imbro- elio and we have hoped that his efforts to preserve peace between the two countries, would result in success.
 But war Las been declared, and we have it to meet Our citizens are called upon to enlist. and Utah is asked to furnish cavalry and batteries of artillery approximating 800 nen.
 We trust that the citizens of Utah who gre Latter-day Saints will be found ready to respond with a!acritv to this call which is uad upon our State. There was time in the past when we were called upon, as religious organization to make far greater sacrifice than this, under circumstances that were exceedingly painful Then there wasno hesitation, but upwards of one-third of the men of suitable age formed a battalion of 800, left the camp and volunteered to take part in the Mexican war In like man. ner there should be no hesitation now; and we sincerely trust that your recruiting officers will find our co-religionists as ready now to enlist and march to the defense of their country as their fathers were in the days to which we refer. Trusting that you will be eminently successful in raising Utah's proper quota of volunteers and Pruvtn- tnat the Almighty will protect our nation ia tae hour of ,rij and ass st us iu on, battles T humanity and right, We main, Very Respectfully,

 Walter Baird and Prime T. Coleman, IT,, came in from the formers ranch, about thirty miles east of here, last Thursday afternoon. They report that there is a case of black smallpox at John Adey's sheep camp, in Socorro county, New Mexico, sixty miles south east of St. Johns. The camp is located out among the cedars, and the patient is a Mexican sheepherder whom Adey brought in from the Rio GranGe. The sort of smallpox with which the camp is afflicted is said to be the most viru- lent type. Adey's camp should at once be quarantined, and while the authori- ties are about it, it might be well to adopt some sanitary measure regulat- ing these 'sheepherders from the Rio Grande," as they ale more or less liable to have the germs of this loathsome disease concealed on their clothing or persons

GOOD EXERCISE PREVAILED IN
DULL TINES.
An Account of Lively Foot Race Be-
tween Prominent Citizens Back in
the Fifties.

An old kamaaina came to The Star
Office today with carefully preserved
copy of newspaper published in Hon
olulu during the fifties. There were
not many thrilling items of news in
the papers those days. One of the
chief stories in the paper is an ac-
count of a race which William White
won. 1t is not stated who were his OPP
ponents.
Capt. f. o. White. of Hall q Son. and
son of the Mr. White mentioned does
not remember anything about this
particular race. Capt. White says that
he remembers well his fathers love
for sprinting and that he always re-
ioiced in telling how he defeated p. c.
Jones. Capt. Newell, Mr.. Dickson and
others.
The item in the paper is under the
caption Good Exercise for Dull Times,
and reads:
The monotony of that usually quiet
vicinity of our town. near the corner
of Emma and Benetania streets, was
enlivened by very 'racy" and anus
ing affair on Tuesday evening last.
Two worthy and well known gentle
men of our community had been in
dulging in n friendly dispute as to
their respective powers Of speed, and
it was decided to settle the matter up
on the spot by an appeal to legs. A
course was marked off. reaching from
the corner of Emma square to the ma
kai side of Beretania street. and the
competitors prepared themselves for
the encounter by divesting themselves
of coats and hats. At this iuncture
the race was nearly broken up a de-
mand on the part of one of them that
his opponent should sling a ten pound
stone about his neck, in order to equ-
alize their weight. This demand. how
ever. was negatived by the umpires,
and, at the given signal. the parties
started. They gave the throng of won
dering spectators specimen of some
pretty tall travelling, both reaching the

ing, considerably less than fifteen
minutes. The umpires, unfortunately,
were unable to decide to whom the
victory belonged. and second trial
became necessary. This time. Mr..
White came in fairly a neck and half
