Does Not Like tho Professions of Nose
La Fontise, Pugilist.
Andy Kings warm pugilistc blood has
been stirred by the handsome newspaper
bouquets handed to Nose La Fontise,
his fellow-townsman. He writes from
Baker City, Ore. in protest. Andy King
is an Anaconda boy, who has gone out
from here to battle in the fistic arena.
He has many friends, for he Is known as
a good, square little fighter and thor
oughly game man. His letter is as fol-
lows:
ITO the Sporting Editor Anaconda
Standard-Dear Sir: While reading your
paper l saw that Nose La Fontise says
that he defeated Jimmy LAWYER in seven
rounds. He never fought him at all and
he never fought Doc Flynn. He knows
better than that. Any one of these men
could easily defeat him. He was to fight
Martin Denny 20 rounds Three days be-
fore the fight he got cold feet and would
not fight Denny until Denny told him he
would make 1t 10 rounds and let him stay
to a draw. This fight was draw Denny
could have put Nose out in any round If
he had wanted to. You need not believe
me, but write to Sacramento; you can
find out there for yourself After his
fight with Charley Tye neither one of
them could get a fight in Frisco. Both of
them made very poor showing. They
looked as if neither one of them had ever
seen boxing glove before.
My name is Andy King, of Anaconda.
and I have lived there since the town
started and my folks are still there, and
l am on my way home now. On my way
through Oregon l stopped in Pendleton
and defeated Tom Scott in three rounds,
and also defeated Jimmie Kelley of Port
land In two rounds. l am in Baker City
and ! am to fight Kid Arthur Saturday
night here in Baker City, and then will
leave for home. 1 am willing to meet
Nose La Fontise, and I want ypu to
publish this for me. Nose says he Sec
onded Hawkins and Lavigne for their
fights. He never did, because I was there
at the ring side of both fights. The sports
in Frisco had nickname for him
Crazy Frenchman, the newspaper fight

that you will put this in your paper. l re-

PLUCKY GIRL CLERK,
She Sells Out Her Stock of Candy in a
Blazing Store Room.

The old saying that anything that
draws the crowd pays" was fully demon
strated at 1140 o'clock yesterday morn
ing on East Commercial avenue. AT that
hour the fire department was called out
by an alarm from box "a to extinguish a
light blaze which had been started along
the wall by an overheated stove in the
candy store of Mrs. Skully at No 305

The run of the fire department attract
ed a large crowd to the little store The
people pressed in upon the firemen who
were working inside. The little girl
clerk behind the counter, keeping her
head, took advantage of the situation
and proceeded to sell candy at a rapid
rate. So rapidly did she dispose of the
small stock that 1t was exhausted by the
time the firemen were through,

UNIQUE and novel specialties and the
ability OF the strongest and most talented

DiSinfecting Ships.

European medical authorities speak
in ~eulogistic terms Of the United
States steamship Protector, which is
the first vessel in the world to be
equipped solely for the purpose of dis
infection. On the deck Of the vessel,
which is about eighty feet long, is q
structure fitted for bath rooms. The
soldiers, on coming on board, will take
Il bath and give up their old clothing,
receiving new clothes in exchange.
After the old clothing has been taken
below and Thoroughly sterilized, it VIII
be returned to its owner. The steril-
izing apparatus consists of a cylinder,
a chamber, and an exhauster. The
chamber is. Of iron, and can be her
metically sealed. The air is removed
from the chamber by an exhausting
steam jet. The generator Is a copper
cylinder divided vertically into two
parts, a steam coil being placed in
each part. The clothes to be sterll.
lied are placed in the chamber, and
the air is exhausted. Formallne is
placed in part of the generator, and
steam admitted to the coil. When q
sufficient quantity of formaldehyde gas
is generated by the heat, it is passed
into the chamber. In half an hour am
monia, placed in the other part of the
generator and similarly heated, is also
admitted. This serves to neutralize
the formaldehyde, and the clothes
now thoroughly purified, are removed
and taken on deck for restoration tt

They are all well-trained animals
weighing each from eighty to lOO
pounds and valued at $40 to SAC
apiece. They were collected at many

How to Walk.

In the Literary Digest appears a
translation of a review of Comment
on Marche" CHOW We Walk"), the
latest book on the subject by Messrs.
Reenault and Raoul. In this work it
is claimed that we have been wrongly
educated in walking, and that the
erect posture and firm step that we
have been led to believe We're evil
dences of health and strength are con-
yentional and vicious. Nj. Marcy, who
wrote the introduction to the volume,
saws that there is a style Of walking
that enables one, without excessive
fatigue, to go distances of from TWEEN
ty to twenty-five miles in a third OF
the time usually required. This may
be accomplished by walking with the
knees bent and the body inclined for.
| ward. a method which has been OBJ
served in professional pedestrians
mountaineers. peasants, hunters, and
soldiers fatigued by long marches. In
not adopting this method, it is claimed
that, as with all the other acts of life
we remain slaves of conventional
esthetics.

cHEsTNUTs GROWN IN AMERICA

It was three-quarters OF a century
after Du Points importation OF Euro
pean chestnuts that Japanese chestnuts
began to attract attention In this
country. Probably the largest grove OF
Japanese chestnuts in America is sit
uated near Cleminton, N. J. Here a
tract Of land 500 acres in area is given
over to the culture of these trees. The
tract was originally a forest Of native
american chestnut trees. They were
all cut down, and after the shoots had
grown two years they were grated
with the Japanese chestnut. In from
two to three years the grated trees be-
gan to bear, and at the end Of ten years
they were yielding a bushel OF chest
nuts to a tree. The orchard, II such It
may be called. is crudely cultivated
with a rough harrow, and the fallen
leaves are permitted to rot and en-
rich the ground.
