THE WORLDS CHAMPION.
Jeffries Will Spar in the Old Pa.
vilion Saturday Night.

The gymnasium hall of the Sacra-
mento Athletic Club will probably be
crowded tomorrow night, when the
worlds champion exponent of the fistic
art, young James Jeffries of Los An
geles, will appear under the auspices
of the club and give an exhibition of
his prowess.
Jeffries will be accompanied by his
brother, who is himself very handy
with the mits, and their four-round
bout will conclude with an imitation
of the round in which Jeffries admin
istered the coup de. grace to Fitz-
simmons.
There has been considerable said in
the papers about Jeffries having Of
fered to stop Jim Jeffords in four
rounds and then backed out. Jeffries
never offered to do anything of the
kind. Jeffords would be easy enough
game for him, but it would be foolish
in Jeffries to risk. hurting his hands
for nothing at a time when a fight
for perhaps $4,000 is pending. If
Jeffords is the man who made such
a show of himself before Van Buskirk
two years ago, when he was touted as
the real Jeffries, the champion would
show poor Judgment in going in the
ring with him.
One of the preliminaries on Satur-
day night will be a ten-round go be-
tween Joe Cotton of Los Angeles anl
Tom Whalen, formerly of Grass Val

men only held in the auditorium OF
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. Good singing will be provided,
as usual. The meeting will be ad-
dressed by Noel H. Jacks of Oakland.
who is considered one of the best Gen
eral Secretaries in the United States.
Mr.. Jacks has frequently appeared be-
known as an effective public speaker.
His work among the soldiers has been
highly commended.
State Secretary Walter M. Parsons
is at present in San Francisco, where
he is busily employed in looking after
matters connected with the State
work.
Grove F. Ekins, formerly General
Secretary at this point and now as
sistant at the metropolis, addressed q
large meeting for men at the rooms
of the Association last Sunday after
noon. Mr.. Ekins chose for his SUBJ
ject "Paul's Advice to Timothy" which
he handled in fearless manner Sew
eral choice musical features added to
the interest of the meeting, among
which was a vocal solo by David J.

partment. The members of the asso-
citation are taking great deal OF IN

A competent physical director will be
placed in charge early in the fall.
The organization of classes in athletic
culture will commence about the mid
die of September, so that they will be
in smooth running order by the time
October is ushered in.
1t is the intention of the Board OF
Managers to give to the educational
features of the Associations work the
Importance which they deserve. About
the 1st of September letter will be
sent to each of the members asking
what classes in educational work they
desire to have formed. The nature
of the replies received to the inquiries
made will determine largely the work
to be entered upon. General Secretary
Boyns and his assistant, Albert E.
Keene, are determined to render every
possible assistance to members IN
their ambition to obtain knoWl-
edge and rise in the Woflu
to places of honor and preferment.
Some features in the educational line
for the coming fall and winter have
already been decided upon. 1t is set
tied that there will be a vigorous lit
erary and debating society to train
up budding Ciceros and, and boost
them into the halls of Congress. This
society will also decide for the Amer
lean people tWlInOul eApcHSe " lHChP
such questions as free silver, woman
suffrage, imperialism and expansion.
Secretary Boyns is completing ar
rangements for a superb course or
lectures by literary stars of the first
magnitude for the young men who are
wise enough to invest in membership
tickets There will be about one lee
ture a month for six or seven months
It is not desirable at this early date
to set forth the entire list of attrac-
tions, but among them may be men
toned DR.. Sam Steele of Nashville,
Tenn, and Booker T. Washington,
who has given profound study and at
tention to the negro problem.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion of Sacramento has recently re-
ceived important financial encourage
ment from prominent and successful
business men, and is keenly alive to
its OPPORTUNITIES

TRUSTEES VS.. TEACHER.
A Slight Disagreement in Point
Pleasant District

There is lack of harmony in the
Point Pleasant School District between
Frank w. Benedix, the teacher who
has been engaged to teach the school
for the coming year, and H. F. Wood
and H. ~Buscher, two of the Trustees.
The reason put forth by the Trustees
is that young BenediX on November
23d married an estimable young lady
Of Franklin, but did not see fit to make
the fact known until the Sth of this
month, and that during that time he
had gone with two or three young
women of the neighborhood, and they
threaten to bring charges against him
before the County Board of Education
of unprofessional conduct therefor.
Benedix says that the matter of an
nouncing his marriage is one between
himself and wife, and is no ones
business, and that it was kept secret
at the request of his mother-in-la
who wished to retain her daughter for
awhile, and feared her husband, the
girls step-father, would not consent
if he knew she was married. In re-
gard to going with other girls, he
states that as he was going by Trus-
tee Woods house to the Postoffice he
asked Woods daughter if she wished
to ride to the office, and she did SO.
coming back with him. On another
occasion he took a young lady to a
church social, with his wife's consent,
and on another occasion he stayed
over night at the house of a young
lady who had started to take hin,
home from school, but whose horse
had been taken from the buggy by
her brother and turned loose and
could not be caught, and that he slept
in the room with the brother He de-
fies the Trustees to prove any unpro-
fessional conduct against him., and
says that the reason of the trouble
is that Woods wishes. to get a teacher
