Marvellous Pictures of the Great Fiji


 Marvellous Pictures of the Great Fight.
 The genuine illustrated version of the recent fistic encounter between James Jeffries and Thomas Sharkey at Coney Island, November 3, will be shown at the Hyperion Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, December IS, 19 and 20, with matinees Tuesday and Wednesday. The two gladiators are shown n their twenty-five rounds of humping, hug ging and bleeding, with alternate doses of flaming and sponging. The pie lures are remarkably clear, every mus cle of the combatants being strikingly displayed. A remarkable feature of the exhibition is it's effect upon the audi ence. To many the photographic fight CTS are real beings, and every sound blow finds an echo in "Oh!' from a hundred throats. Advice is freely shouted. Give it to him, Sharkey" is the predominant cry, while all the va rious swings, uppercuts and right and left drives that failed to land are greet ed with hoots and yells by partisans of both sides The sympathies of the au- dience are largely with Sharkey, who, judging from the pictures, did certainly appear to have the advantage of the conflict up to the last few rounds. As a sample of living picture ingenuity the exhibition may be cassed as a marvel It needs only the sound of blows, the puffing of the fighters and hoarse cries of the spectators to complete the illu-l sion. Seats on sale Friday. Matinee 25 and 50 cents. Night 25, 50 and 75 cents,

KANSAS WORST PRAIRIE FIRE.

Thoughtlessly Set by an Army Officer
 Who Has Since Become Famous.
 The greatest prairie fire known in Kansas was in the year 1869, and it was set out by an officer of the United States government. This officer is now in Washington, and during the Spanish war, his name was more frequently in the papers than any other.
 One day in 1869 he and party of of- ficers from Fort Hays were returning from wild turkey hunt in the canons of the Saline. The wind was blowing a hurricane, and when stop was made on the high prairie some ten miles north of Hays this officer deliberately touched match to the dry, crisp grass in order to make a spectacle. When the other officers saw what he was about to do they made a desperate effort to stop him, but the deed had been done and the red flames were reeling across the prairie like a frightened antelope. That fire swept from where it had been started clear across Kansas into what is now Oklahoma. The streams and roads offered no obstacles to 1t what ever. While going south 1t had also turned to the east, and left trail of ruin across Rice, Reno, Kingman Har- per and other counties Thousands of settlers were burned out, losing their houses and their feed. their horses and cattle.
 If tine man who set that fire had been known to the settlers all the troops on the plains would not have been enough to stay their Vengea nee AS if was ha suffered remorse beyond description When the officers at Hays would bring him papers telling of the damage done he would groan and curse himself roundly. He left Hays for some other post in the following year, and. so far as we know, his name was never con- nected with the gigantic prairie fire of 1S69.--Kansas City Journal.

Old Beliefs Revived.

The colored people of Chattanooga,
Tenn. and vicinity have inaugurated
the ancient voodoo dance and the en-
tire negro community has gone wild
on the subject. They congregated
from as far as Alabama and Missis-
sippi to participate in the weird exer-
else and worship. The city is full of
excited colored people, drawn there by
the news which has gone forth. The
other night several hundred of the ne
groes danced to the accompaniment of
tom-toms and other like instruments.
The applicants for mem bership in
the band take their seats in the mid
die of dark room. There they wait
until vision is seen and they immed-
lately arise and relate it. If the dream
is horrible enough and suits the look
ers-on the negro is admitted into fell
lowship and at once begins his dance
with the others. Tie voodoo Worship
has assumed such alarming proper
tions that the attention of local Off
GERS of the law has been called to it.
and stop will probably be put to it
before another dance takes place.

PHYSICIANS say that large percent,
