WAS 1T A FAKE?
A Hot Time In Hop House-Two Prize
Fighters Pull Off Fight In Yakima.

Friday night between L and II o'clock
a colored man, known as wesley, the
PEARL" and a white man, said to be a
Swede from Ellensburg named White,
met in hop house below the stock
yards, outside the city limits. There
we're gathered about fifty people, all told.
The admission fee was one dollar. 1t
was agreed in the contract that 80 per
cent of the gate money was to 90 to the
winner and 20 per cent to the loser.
When the men stripped and donned
their fighting toys it was evident that
the colored man had the best of it in
muscular development. while the white
man had the advantage in height and
reach. The former weighed about 1870
pounds and stood feet. inches; the
latter, at guess, standing 3 IT,, 10 in.
at 40 pounds. The couple had pre-
viously spared for points at Proseer, aud
many believed the fight would be a fake,
but assurances were given that if any
one was dissatisfied after seeing the mill
he could get his money back at tine box
office The referee was a stranger, no
other person present being willing to run
the rick OF a fine and imprisonment for
aiding and abetting the unlawful sport.
Eight rounds were fought which ended
with the white man being knocked down
and out. The first blood Was drawn bv

New school Methods IN Milwaukee
Develop nnscnIIy Children.
From HarDar's Razar

An experiment has lately been tried In
one of the public schools Of Milwaukee.
and by its opponents pronounced failure.
The aim or It's originator, Mr.. II. j. o'Han-
Ion, was this-to introduce into the school
life of the child a form of training which
would equip him for the duties of citizen
ship on his entrance into the world of
grown-up men and women A form Of gov
eminent was therefore introduced into the
school. which was modelled upon that ex-
listing in the city of Milwaukee Itself. A
Mayor was appointed, aldermen were
elected, a constitution adopted. There
were judges, policemen, controllers and no
end of other officers. The best principles
of the best governed were laid down, ana
the boys and girls-there were no distnc-
tons of sex-were set about governing
themselves But the amount of chaos
and corruption that ensued brought pro-
tests from che parents and even the schol-
ars themselves. Studies were neglected
and brides given and taken. Instead OF
lesson OF self-government being acquired.
all the evils Of the most corrupt form of
municipal government were practiced.
Mr.. OHanlon, not discouraged, says
that only the prejudces of a community
were against him; that, given a longer
time, his system would have proved it.

says, ito make the school an autocracy
and to substitute an external conscience
for the right Of self-control." But, with
votes bought and sold for peanuts and
pennies, the parents cried hat--time
enough 10 learn how bad municipal gov
eminent might be when necessity for ac-
lion confronted him. Still, It would have
been interesting 20 know whether Mr..
O'Hanlon was right. and whether a longer
trial would have proved real success,
demonstrating beyond question that, even
among children, the principle of self-gov-
eminent has in il all the elements for
bringing about the eradication of those
evils which at first seem Always 20 be en-

WONDERS or ELEcTRoID.
New Substance That Makes Plants
Grow yisibIy Discovered.

GOHNpH 1httSHs
Francis Rychnowski. a mechanical en-
gineer of Lemburg, Austria, has discov-
cred strange and very subtle matter.
which he has called "eectroid," because
Of certain affinity with electricity. Eec-
trold produced by special apparatus.
built by the inventor is obtained by the
dissolution OF certain matters under the
Influence of the electric current 1t makes
noise and al the same time a refreshing
scent and cool breeze are experienced.
This discovery induced Mr.. Rychnowski
10 make a machine capable of refreshing
the air to snch a degree that those pres
ent during the experiment had the feeling
that the window was open, although this
was not the case.
Eleetrold Is very subtle matter. but il
seems 70 be fluid, and Il can be gathered
and preserved, while falling on plate It
reflects IN q shape Of shining sheaves.
The commission appointed by the Aus
trlan government 10 investigate this dis
covery reported that, under the influence
of electroid plants grow rapidly and the
buds Of flowers unclose while one Is look
ing at them Electroid annihhates MI
crobes and thus preserves organic mat
ter. These are physiological influences OF
electroid.
Among mechanical phenomena the COM
mission reported that the influence OF
electroid is not stopped even by a brick
wall and, glass; that IL attracts solid bod
les and makes them shine like moonlight
lit makes them move and attract other
bodies; Ana!ly that IL acts on Photographic
plates and produces sharp and distinct
lines. such as were formerly possible only
with a very powerful lens
