A CLEAN KNOCK OUT.
Sharkey Finished Mccoy in Ten
Rounds Last Night.
THE KIDS SPLENDID GENERAL.
SHIP OF No AVAIL.

N
when the Latter Began to Find Him
He Soon Polished Him OH--sharkey
Only Possible Rival TO FitHsimmons.
New York, January i0.-Tom Sharkey,
the American sailor who first saw the
light of day In Dundalk, Ireland. now
stands the only heavy weight possibility
for championship honors as against Bob
Fitzsimmons At the Lenox Athletic
club tonight he whipped Kid Mccoy good
and hard in the tenth round Of what was
to have been q twenty round battle for
heavyweig Il honors.
Sharkey tonight was a revelation to
those who saw him a couple Of years ago.
His ring work and generalship were 50
vastly superior to his exhibitions when he
first came to the east as fighter that tho
improvement was almost incredible. He
displayed wonderful strength and quick
ness.
A bunch OF muscle, unlimited conf.
dence and cool head are the qualltca-
tions which have enabled Sharkey to fight
his way TO tho 'front.' rank Of heavy
weight pugilists.
He has met all the big fellows and.
v ith the exception Of his fight with
Jeffrie, none OF them has gained de-
ci ion over him. In all his fights up to
tonight, Mccoy showed that he was
po 'sessed Of gre Il ability in 1stic work
and despite the fact that he was soundly
beaten tonight, he Is still the peer of any
pugilist so far as ring eeneralship Is con-
cerned. His marvellous GOT work and his
long left jabs are two factors that must
always appeal to lovers of the tstic art.
He used every artifice known to the ad-
vanced school of pugilism In his contest
tonight. When he sent Sharkey twice to
the floor in the third round, no one
doubted the Kids ability TO hit hard and
many thought that he had Sharkey at his
mercy. This idea was soon dispeller
when the Irishman began TO get TO his
man aud take everything into consideIa-
ton Sharkey's work stamps him as the
toughest proposition that any aspiring
heavy weight pugilist can try to solve.
When the doors OF the Lenox Athletic
club where thrown open the entrances
were well guarded by policemen, as the
club managers anticipated rush. The
crowd began TO gather early In the eve
ming and at eight O'Clock there were near
" eight thousand persons present The
boxes and ssats in the vicinity of the ring
were filled up by eight o'clock and to look
at the gathering of sports one would
think that all who are interested in
winter racing in New Orleans bad been
transferred suddenly to New York.
Bookmakers headed by Joe Vendig
made the arena ring with their shouts OF
I'm tet u thousand to Line hundred on
Mccoy" Come on with your money,
the Kid must win"
In the first of the two preliminary con.
tests Isador Strauss of Philadelphia met
Kid Carter of Brooklyn. They wero
scheduled to fight ten rounds at catch
weights. In the sixth round Carter tried
to wiring his opponents neck. Referee

Dr. Hartzell Returns and Supports
Bishop Tugwells Statement.

LONDON, May 1O.-Rev DR.. Joseph
c. Hartzell of Cincinnati, the American
Episcopal Bishop of Africa. has arrived
in London after working among the
missions in Liberia and Madeira, which
he says, are in a thriving condition. DR..
Hartzell is well, though he had an at

He has been made Grand Command

Africa by President Coleman in recog

DIR. Hartzell sympathizes with Bishop
Tugwell, who has been committed for

Europeans. He thinks that Bishop Tug

deaths of Europeans on the coast of
Africa are due to drunkenness is in the

GALICIANs ON THE WAY.
Fifty Thousand Immigrants Coming to
the United States.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-A dispatch
from Hamburg has been received here.
announcing that $4,000 Galicians are on
their way or preparing to come to this
country. The steerage quarters on the
German-American lines, it is said, are
crowded with immigrants, who are
leaving home in consequence of the OPP
preston of famine.
Commissioner Fitzhie thinks that the
figures mentioned in the dispatch must
be wrong, as he does not believe that
the Austro- Hungarian Government
would permit so large a number to emf
CRATE at one time. 1t was pointed out
that the emigration of people would
mean about one-tenth of the population
of Galicia going away. and would go a
long way toward depopulating the
province.
Chief Clerk Lederhilger, an expert on
immigration, said 1T was enough to
make one faint, if true, and no matter
how small the number might be, that
any were coming was to be regretted,
as they were a most undesirable class.

NO HOLIDAY.

The Cabinet decided that Queen Vic
toria's birth anniversary should not be a
holiday in Government circles, and that
no notice of the day should be taken fur
Their than the raising of the large flag
over the Executive building, and the eX-
tension of customary social curtesles
The reason for this as stated briefly
by President Dole was as follows: 1--WE
no longer have diplomatic relations
with Great Britain, under which cir
cumstances we feel that the declaration
of holiday is hardly proper, unless it
were generally one throughout the
United States"

Without vital power the heart, stom-

their functions and life would cease.

Saved by a Pillow.

An English army officer was hunting
lions in Somaliland. It was known that
lions were in the neighborhood, and a
rough thorn fence had been put up
around the camp for protection at night.
About midnight the officer was awak-
ened by peculiar sound, and the next
moment he felt sharp pain in his
hand, which was resting on the pillow
above his head. Then he knew that his
hand was in lions mouth, and that
the noise which had awakened him had
been made by the beast in jumping into
the tent.
With great presence of mind, the off,
Ger kept perfectly quiet, realizing that
his only safety lay in this course.
The lion changed his grip, doubtless
intending to seize his victim by the
shoulder, but by rare bit of luck he
got the pillow in his jaws and made off
with it,
Next morning the pillow was found
several hundred yards distant in the
jungle, where the lion had doubtless
dropped it when he found that he had
but bagful Of feathers, instead of a
man.
The officers hand was slightly LAGER
ated; otherwise he was unhurt.

Our Locomotives Abroad.

Twenty American built locomotives
have just be-" ~Iipped from New York
to England will be used on the
Midland railway, which is ono Of the
oldest and at the same time most pro-
gressive roads in Great Britain. The
authorities Of the road Like American
engines better than those mado in Eng
land, and, besides, they can get them
made quicker than in that country.
This little shipment to the Midland
railway is, however, but bagatelle
compared with the great volume Of
business done abroad by American loco
motive builders and railmakers The
wide range of territory covered is not
less remarkable than the extent OF the
business Within the last year Or two
American makers of railway supplies
have sent their wares to Manchuria,
Korea and Siberia. to Japan, Siam,
Ceylon and the passes Of the Himalayas,
to Egypt, Morocco, the Gold Coast and
the Cape as we'll as to Madagascar, and
they are now about to open trade with
Formosa, where up to this time the
Germans and the English have had it
all their own way. 1t will presently be
time for American enterprise, like Alex
ander, to sit down and mourn that no
more worlds are left to conquer, its
subjugation of the existing one being
already tolerably complete.

THACkERAY IN AMERICA.

During his visit to this country in
1856 Thackeray wrote the following
letter home from New Orleans: II have
already begun another letter on paper
with a picture Of New Orleans at the
top and all the rest of the paper nicely
ruled, but it is such an immense sheet
that I felt as if I could not speak upon
it in my natural voice. and 1 don't
choose to talk in any other to my
daughters That's why they get so lit
tie instruction from me, which have
not got, or wit which perhaps might
fetch up with little trouble. But
what man ought to be witty to his fam
lily? I left Mobile on Tuesday. Thisis
Friday. found kind folks and pleasant
company in Mobile, though we did not
make mint of money there.
"What little I have seen of this l
like perhaps better than any other town
in the Union. There are pictures on the
quays; there are old French houses;
there are streets which look for all the
world like Havre; the sweet, kind
French tongue is spoken in the shops,
and felt quite liking for the negro
who drove me from the station for call
ing out in good French to brother
driver. There is capital ordinaire claret
for dinner; the faces are not Yankee
faces, with their keen, eager, narrow
eyes; there are many fat people; these
are interesting facts. and the most in
teresting that as we turn from this we
shall be going home. O mong Jew!
Come quickly, I say, thou end of May!
