SHARKEY'S VIEWS.
Says He Will Knock Jeffries Out by
the Ninth Round.

San Francisco, June 30.-Ton Sharkey is
nothing If not confident of the result of
his coming fight with Jim Jeffries for the
championship of the world. The sailor
thinks the fight will last about nine rounds
and that it Will be a bitterly fought affair.
But he says he is certain winner. and
in interview few days ago at Salinas,
Cal, gave several reasons for thinking
These are the main points he gave to his
QueStioner:
Il have been in training at Paso Ro-
bles for three weeks in anticipation of
meeting with Jeffries and am very glad
the match has been made. 1 will start
east as soon as possible to prepare for the
fight, if it is to be in the east, in which
case will train on Long Island But if
the battle is to be in San Francisco I
will return and train at Paso Robes. I
won't need much training, as am in good
condition at present, and could get into
the ring at any moment
and Corbett, tried very hard to keep me
from the championship and endeavored to
make unpopular with the public. Now.
this meeting viii settle all. In 1900 ! will
be the indicated and undisputed cham
pion of the pugilistic world.
Jeffries desires to make 1 can only say
that he must fight under the Marquis of
Queensbury rules in twenty-four foot
ring. I will dictate to him, not he to me,
as I champion.
LAS to his fight with Fitzsimmons, why,
Kid Mccoy could have beaten the old
man in six rounds. Fitz is an old man,
a has been, and proved to the public that
he was afraid of when he refused to
fight me in New York. I have beaten
I will prove to all that am the greatest
fighter of my weight and size in the

REPLACING WOODEN BRIDGES.
Rock Island Making Substantial I'M
provements In Stone.

Horton, June 3O.-Among the most
substantial improvements being made
by the Rock Island are the new stone
arches to replace the wooden bridges.
This work is being pushed all along the
line. AS an estimate of the amount of
this kind of work being done west of
the river, reference might be made to
the big shipments of Portland cement
sent out along the lines from the store
house in Horton.
Last year IL, 900 barrels of this cement
were shipped from this point and this

PARLoR CONFERENCES.
Talks by Miss Reynolds, Y. w. G.
A. Worlds Secretary.

The parlor conference yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs. G.
N. Post, in honor of Miss A. M. Rey-
nolds, Worlds Secretary of the Young
Women's Christian Association, was
success in every way.
After an informal reception, inter-
spersed with music by Mrs. William
Murcelle and Miss Fannie Campbell,
and recitation by Miss R. Hoskinson,
Miss Reynolds spoke on the POSSIBLE
ties of City Work." giving illustrations
from personal observation.
She began by saying that the needs of
a young girls life could be supplied
| through and by the Young Women s
Christian Association. the industrial,
social, Intellectual and spiritual de-
partments meeting the four-fold re-
quirements of all women, especially
wage earners.
She spoke at length ON the industrial
work of the association, saying that
properly conducted employment bureau,
being a definite help, was well worth
to the community the cost of main
tanning the entire organization. The
association supplying efficient help to
worthy places means more than any
other agency to community, excepting
the church.
Last years statistics in America show
that nearly 100000 young women went
directly from the Young Women S
Christian Association to different rel
igious denominations. Many young wo-
men testify that their start toward a
/ Christian life was through the associa-
ton
This afternoon, from to 5, there will
be another parlor conference at the
residence of Mrs. ]. o. Coleman, Ills
N street, and adj association members
are urged to be present. A most cor
dial invitation is also extended all
ladies of Sacramento to attend. All who
have had the privilege of hearing Miss
Reynolds speak are charmed with her
and consider it a rare treat.
Tomorrow afternoon, at the same
hours, the parlors of the Golden Eagle
Hotel will be open to the public. This
will be the last opportunity to hear Miss
Reynolds as she leaves on Saturday
morning for conference of college
workers at Inverness, Marin County.

A NEW DEPARTURE HERE.
IMPROVEMENT IN STAMPING
LETTERS.
-Four Hundred Minute Will be
the Rate With the New
Machine.

A new departure has been made by
postmaster Fox in the Postoffice that
Will be of great benefit to the comnu-
nifty.
During the past it has been necessary
on the arrival of the mail to stamp each
letter by hand in accordance with
Postoffice regulations, showing the hour
of distribution This necessarily re-
suited in delay in distributing the mail
en- its arrival at the Postoffice. The
new order will result in citizens getting
their mail from a quarter to half an
hour earlier-a matter of considera ble
moment, especially to business men.
c. V. Fyke arrived here yesterday af-
telnoon to put into this office the Barr
f'yke postmarking machine, there
being only one other in use on the coast,
at Los Angeles. The machine is simple,
but effective, and by its use 400 letters
a minute can be stamped. Last night
The ) O'Clock mail from San Francisco,
which it ordinarily takes from twenty
minutes to half an hour to stamp was
stamped in a little less than three min
ntes.
The machine is about eighteen inches
square, like table and is run by cleo
tricity. A continuous rubber belt runs
49, e'fO AOul WHEELS, pressing upon
another wheel, which carries the stamp.
Inc letters are taken by the handful
and pressed against the band. On the
opposite side of the band is a wheel
with strip of metal that holds the
letter at a certain point until the
stamp comes round and stamps IT,,
while the next letter Is similarly held
until the proper time, so that the stamp
Tails III exactly the right place. It also
prevents backing up the envelope.
The Government pays S175 a year for
the use of the machine, the company
keeping it in order
In order to facilitate the use of the
machines senders of letters should re-
member that valuable articles and
those liable to damage should not be
sent in letters without indicating the
1aet, as they are liable to be DANA ged
in the machine when stamped Pieces
OF jewelry and similar articles will be
much safer if sent by registered letter
or IN packages. Business houses can
also facilitate the work of distribution
Nhen the letters arrive at their desti-
nation by stamping them all On the
rlght-hand upper corner and putting
the faces Of the envelopes all in one
direction
III Will probably be hardly necessary
10 warn persons sending letters not to
put packages of dynamite in them. as
the machine might not work well with
such letters.
Unlike much machinery that comes
into use, this one will not be likely to
cause any diminution in the force en-
ployed, as it will take just as many
clerks to do distributing as before, but
the public will gain in time and cor
yenience
