"Yerby first met his wife in New

employment. In March, 1897, Miss
Rudolph went West with the Charles
Yale company, playing in the Twelve
Temptations
while she was in this city, Colonel
Theodore Marceau, who had known her
previously, introduced her to Robert 5.
Howard, a travelling man for piano

Miss Rudolph and followed her from
San Francisco to New Orleans, thence
to Boston. From Boston Miss Rudolph
went to New York. where she arrived
in January, 1898.
"A short time after her arrival she

Al. Hellman Accepts the Challenge
of Tom Pender.ast.


There seems to be now little in the
way of a glove contest between AL. He'll
man, the Sacramento Athletic Clubs
clever welterweight, and Tom Fender
CAST, the local exponent of the art of
fsticuffs, who a few days ago chal-
lenged the former to meet him in the
ring.
In his challenge Pendergast men
lions 145 pounds as the weight at which
he was DESTROYS of meeting Hellmar,
but the latter stipulates 14S pounds A
friend of Pendergast says the latter
will undoubtedly concede this point,
but may insist on weighing in at the
ringside, as even then Hellman will
have a little the best of the weight.
Following is Hellman's acceptance OF
the challenge:
I'm reply to the challenge of Tom
Pendergast, which appeared in your
valuable paper on Tuesday I will state
that I will accept the same, but will
not agree to scale less than 14S pounds
If Mr.. Pendergast is sincere in his ex-
pressed desire to meet me, I will sign
with him Immediately and endeavor to
demonstrate that my title to the welter-
weight championship of the State is in
no danger, so far as he is concerned.
1t is believed the weight issue will be
readily compromised and that contest
will soon take place between these local
rivals.

QUEER WEATHER.
A Cold Spell With Several Peculiar
Features

The local Weather Bureau Office re-
ports show the highest and lowest
temperatures to have been 80 and 81 de-
grees, with southerly and northerly
winds and cloudy weather prevailing.
The temperatures at a m. and .
p. m. were 80 and SO degrees.
The barometrical readings at 5 a. m.
and 5 p m. were 1854 and 3O.4S inches.
Average temperature SO, normal tenn
perature 48, showing the day to have
been 10 degrees cooler than usual for
the Goth day of December.
Highest and lowest temperatures one
year ago yesterday 4S and A degrees,
with SO of an inch of rain, and one
year ago to-day 81 and 81 degrees, with
20 of an inch of rain.
River, % feet and rising.
The temperature yesterday was al
most stationary-that is, the difference
between the highest and lowest was
but degrees. the highest being 80 and
and lowest SO. The temperature at 5
a. m. and p. m. were the same, 80 de-
grees.
The barometer was at 5 p. m. yester-
day very much above the normal,
which is an indication of unsettled
weather In fact, the barometer was
then higher than it had been since De-
cember 24th 1893, when it reached
30.55 inches, as against 1852 day be-
fore yesterday, the 10Th. Yesterday it
read 304S inches.
Usually high barometrical readings
are accompanied by clear cold weather,
with brisk northerly winds, but the
present spell of high atmosphere pres
sure, as indicated by the barometer, is
accompanied by an almost stationary
temperature and atmosphere. The
winds velocity has ranged from but
one to four miles per hour.
IT the wind was from ten to fifteen
miles per hour then in all probability
clear and sunshiny weather would have
prevailed during the past two cloudy
and foggy mornings. The movements
of the atmosphere (wind in motion) has
been so slow and the air SO nearly sat
urated with moisture that fog or clouds
are the result, and will remain so until
q greater wind velocity prevails.
