advantage Of ten lengths and was run

CHICAGO'S WOMAN COOPER.
Early in the year 1t was discovered
that Chicago had the proud distinction
of claiming for a resident a woman
who makes barrels. That is to say,
she is a cooper, and in the making Of
barrels she has made a barrel Of
money. Her name is Margaret Buggee,
and her shop is in the southwestern
part Of the city. Not only has she
great executive ability, but she is also
practical cooper, and when any of
her employees show incompetency in
perfecting big hogshead she simply
| picks I'D the proper tools and gives
them an example Of what skilled labor
really is in this line. The worst trouble
| she encounters is in the necessity to
fight off curiosity seekers and adven-
| turers who would like to wed her and
| her bank account Of $4,000. Annoy
| anceS Of this character have caused
her to post this sign over the entrance
| to her cooperage: ''This place Is for
| busineSs-keep out" Perhaps that is
the keynote to her success.
Chicago also claims to have the onlv
woman matchmaker known in the an
nails of that trade, so long monopolized
| by selfish man. She is Miss Mamie
Frey, and at a watchmaker's bench
| and lathe in a West Madison street
/ 5ewelry store she sits and works daily
like any faithful journeyman or APP
| prentice. Who would have dreamed
| OF woman matchmaker in the early
days Of your. grandfather? In Miss
Frey's case the aptitude for the trade
probably was bred in the bone, for her
| father before her was a matchmaker,
learning the trade in Switzerland,
| where his father and grandfather were
/ also watchmakers. The young woman
| loves her calling. In spite Of parental

occupation that Mrs. S. j. Atwood re-
Gently adopted. She calls herself the
"Hobo Hustler of the West" and there
is possibly no other woman in the
world who holds similar position.
Her business is to gather up all the
idle laborers she can find and put them
to work on the Union Pacific railroad
in Colorado Wyoming and other West
ern sections. The Union Pacific finds
her services indispensable and pays her
a good salary. The hobo hustler is a
little woman about thirty years old.
She has short, curly hair that is as
black as night. She walks with an
agile step. and always has a pleasing
smile for even the toughest hobo.
At Dunkirk, N. Y, Mrs. Nellie Kim
ball, widow. has eclipsed all the men
as coal dealer. In addition to her
local trade, which Is large, she has a
contract to coal up several govern
ment dredges employed in the Lake
Erie harbor. She is her own and only
bookkeeper, weighs every ton of coal
sent out from the yard hires and dis
charges her men, and gives personal
attention to the care of her horses.
SEXTON AND GRAVE DIGGER.
The town of Lewis, England, has a
novelty in the person of a woman grave
digger-Mrs. Steel. She is the sexton
of the leading church in Lewes and
every one knows her. Although now
sixty years old, she says she will never
give up her calling until some one has
to dig her grave. Mrs. Steel recon-
mends the cemetery as a fine field for
women, as the work has made her I'M
commonly strong and healthy. She is
said to handle a spade, shovel and pick
in vigorous way, which would make
the average Chicago street hand shud-
der to contemplate

TOMMY RYAN'S HANDICAP


Tommy Ryan is perhaps the most
unfortunate Of boxers in the weight
line. He is nothing as to class. Neith-
er a weller, middle or any weight box
err. Ryan Is compelled to take them on
as they offer. He could, for q time,
come within a few pounds of the well
and greatly weakened the Syracusan.
In building up for a middle-weight
battle. Ryan can do little better than
$50 pounds. He fought Jack Bonner
at 149. He Is willing to take on Fttz-
simmons at 154. and yet if these men
ever meet Ryan will not weigh that
much. He cannot. without doing as
the jockey does-putting few
pilates" in his pocket. Dempsey made
his best weight in his battle with Fitz-
simmons-153h. And yet Dempsey
took on many a heavyweight by fight
ing men at 1856 and above. Had he in
sisted that men meet him at his prop
err weight-145 pounds-he would, per-
haps, never have suffered defeat, for
he was unquestionably the greatest
man of his weight the world ever saw.
There Is scarcely a fighter who will
tell the truth about his weight Sulli-
van was perhaps an exception to this
rule. Sullivan was best at shade un-
der 200 pounds. and perfect at 1876. Cor
bett gave out that he weighed 1876,
when he could not have tipped the
beam ait any such figure. Corbett's
best weight is 176 pounds. Never in
all his career was he as perfect as
when he faced Sullivan at New
casion at just 176. Sullivan tipped the
beam at 212k. That tells the story Of
how Corbett won. Mccoy would have
the public believe he is a middleweight.
He is not. He is heavyweight. His
best weight is 1853 to ITO pounds-"big
enough to fight a giant" OF all the
other heavyweights there are none but
are big enough to meet any in their
class A few like Joe Choynski are
handicapped by weighing just a pound
or so over the middle and yet not up
to the standard 165 Of the heavy. But
in the heavyweight division pounds do
not cut SO much figure as do ounces
among the little men.
WOES OF AN OVERWEIGHT.
There is no man In the boxing bust
ness SO unfortunate as the overweight.
When Creedon was to meet Alex Greg
gains, at Roby he found, to his con-
sternation, that on the evening Of the
battle he was over. In order to not
forfeit Creedon donned blankets" and
ran around q circle for several hours
until he reached the proper Z figure.
Creedon was in distress when matched
with Fftzsimnons. On the train be-
tween st. Louis and New Orleans he
was denied as much as a drink Of
water for fear that he would arrive
overweight. and be compelled to weak
en- himself by extra exertions to at
tain the figure fixed for the match
and fixed by Creedon-158 pounds. And
Creedon was heavier than Fitz in that
battle. He weighed 1861, while Fftz-
simmons was at 1851. The little men
who find themselves above weight are
worse Off. They find it torture Of the
most excruciating sort to take off q
few ounces, and that Is one reason
why matches are made these days re-
CARELESS of real weight limits. If there
is room for reform in the boxing line
