ofhls new home. His general health
he says, is much improved, while
his appetite is good and the climate
excellent and exhilerating. He
says his new residence is a typical
western village containing a large
area and few people. Ash Fork, a
thriving village, contains 25 or 80
houses, a general store, a smith
shop, two churches and SIX saloons.
The place is so exceedingly healthy
that nobody dies except by accident.

PRANK OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
"A Cargo of Bones Created the Pic
ture of a Ship in Flames.

The schooner Ella G. Eells, Capt.
Cushman, which arrived yesterday
from Havana, with a cargo of bones,
has the unique experience on her COM
paratively short voyage of posing as a
fireship to the terror and consterna-
ton of all who saw her while she was
on her way.
1t will be remembered that the
steamer Russian Prince, which reached
Philadelphia last week from the Span
ish main, with cargo of molasses, re-
ported passing a ship on fire at sea.
Capt. Dawson said that on the night of
May 4 his ship was stcaming freely
northward, near Jupiter inlet on the
coast of Florida rhe night was
cloudy but the half-hidden moon shed
a dffused light over the scene.
About six bells, or II o'clock, the
lookout reported light on the horizon
IL glowed with fitful luster, seeming
ly Is miles away. The captain was
called and without hesitation he pro-
nounced the glare to be that from a
ship on fire. The ships way was stop
ped and she was partially headed IN
the direction of the fiery stranger.
Coston lights were burned from the
masthead, signifying do you want
assistance" No answer was returned
and after an hour during which the
weird spectacle continued the supposed
flaming craft disappeared, las COM
pletely,' said Capt. Dawson, "as if The
sea had swallowed her up"
Yesterday afternoon Capt Cushman
and Capt. Dawson met. they are old
friends, and have known each other
for years. Naturally they related the
incidents of their respective voyages.
Capt. Cushman mentioned the fact that
on the night Of May he had ben sig
nailed by large steamer burning Cos
ton lights. Capt. Dawson remembered
that this was the night when he saw
the supposed burning ship. Mutual ex-
plantations followed and the identity
of both vessels were established be-
You'd a doubt.
Capt Cushman's explanation of the
phenomena was an interesting one.
You know" he said, that my ship
was loaded with couple of hundred
tons of bones. Under the damp atmos-
phere of the tropics they develop pecu-
liar phosphorescent qualities. Escap-

them from hard clinch, neither man
wanting to let go. Jeffries swung a
left to the neck moment later and
got his right to the chest, Sharkey
countering lightly on the head. Jef-

Toms left eye. Both were fairly fresh
when returned to their corners.
Round 5-Sharkey was quickest on

close quarters. Jeffries clinched and,

Jetfries met him with another hard
right on the short ribs. Jeffries land

powerful right and Sharkey
clinched After the breakway.
Sharkey rushed in with a terrific left

and got left in the face. Both ex-
changed hard lefts in the face, cross
countering each other hard over the
ear. Sharkey began rushing like a
demon and shot a left to the face.
Jeffries sent back a right to the body
and the bell found them in close quar-
ters After the gong sounded, Sharkey
sent a right to the head for which ne
was cautioned. Jeffries claimed a foul
but, after he had talked to Tom
O'Rourke, Siler decided not to allow It.
Round 6-Sharkey was quicker in
coming. Like flash, he sent a hacd

clinch and, when they broke, Sharkey

other clinch and Sharkey hooked his

GROWTH OF FOREIGN MAILS.

In 1910 the foreign mail from Eng
land for the United States, carried on
the Great Western, consisted of two
sacks Of mail. AS late as 1873 a
steamer from Europe with 10000 let
ters on board was considered a record
breaker. Today the Cunard steamers
and other transatlantic ships carry
ing what is called a full European
MALI usually bring some 100000 let
tiers and an average OF 300 sacks of
newspapers and printed matter for
New York City, not to mention the
500 and odd sacks for Canada, Mexico
and transpacific countries and a few
United States exchange offices, which
are now taken direct to the trains and
not handled at the New York Office
