CHICAGO Jan. 1O.-Tom Sharkey. be-
fore his bout with Jack Mccormick at the
Lyric theater, announced that he would
retire from the ring unless he could fight
Jeffries again. This declaration was made
lin response to the clamorings of the
crowd which had witnessed the fight pie
lures, and just after Sharlxey made his
appearance on the stage in ring costume.
Theia were loud cries for Sharkey after
the entertainment had been brought to a
close. After the sailor had bowed his
Acknowledgements he said:
Il am obliged to you all for your kind
ly feeling after seeing these pictures. I
hope to be given another chance to face
Jeffres, and if l, don't get 1t 1 want to
announce right here that 1 will retire
from the ring"
Sharhey was decidedly in earnest when
he made this announcement and appear
ed to entertain all sorts of confidence in
those who were listening to him. At the
conclusion of his bout with Mccormick
he said:
Il feel that 1 am entitled to the first
chance against Jeffres and feel assured
OF my ability to defeat him should we
ever face each other again in the ring.
He is a good man. but not my equal, to
my way Of thinking, and all l now desire
is another chance at him.
( IF I am not given this chance within
{ a reasonable length of time, l will retire
4 from the ring. There is no reason on
J earth why l should be called upon to fi2ht
Z three or four men who are not in my
! class Or why should Jeffries make
matches with second-raters? If can't
meet a frst-class man l will drop the
fighting game forever"
Sharkey still appears to be in champion
ship form, and claims to be in condition
to fight within few weeks notice.
The sailor paid a visit during the day
to the Board of Trade. The spectators
gave him a rousing reception.

Payne, national Republican committee
man of Wisconsin, was this morning in
receipt of a letter from the Hon. Elihu
Root, secretary of war, in which Mr..
Root states that he is not and will not be
a candidate for the office of vice presi-
dent. and that he has arrived at this con-
clusion by reason Of the very delicate
condition of affairs which exists and
which will continue for a considerable
period in Cuba and the Philippines. and
that he deems 1t far more important to
the country. the administration and the
Republican party that he should con-
tinue to attend to the business of the war
office than to be a candidate for vice
president, not that there are not plenty
of other men who could well discharge
the duties of secretary of war, but, hav-
ing spent five or six months in becoming
familiar with the subject, no other man
could step In and take up the work with
out going through the same training 1t
Is like a case in the courts which is ac-
tually on trial, withdrawing counsel who
Is trying it, and putting in new man
who has never heard Of the case before
Being a candidate for vice president
would mean his practical withdrawal
from the duties of the war department
within very short time. Mr.. Root has
therefore determined that duty calls him
to remain In his present position, and not
to become a candidate for another office,
and there Is reason to believe that the
president concurs in this view of the sec
retary's duty.

SPENT MILLIONS IN FOUR YEARS

The appointment by the court in
Paris of George Gould as trustee for
the estate of the Countess Castellane
is the talk of that city. AS the court
gives Gould absolute control of the
countess estate and as the count has
not cent in his own name it means
that he will have to go to his Ameri-
can brother-in-law for his pocket
money and will have to render an
account to Mr.. Gould for the money
ne spends. 1t is likely that the ex-
pensive property purchased by the
count will be sold. Counsel for the
Goulds stated that Mr.. Gould had
petitioned the court to deprive the
count or countess of any power to
touch the capital of the estate or to
contractdebts. Further, counsel stat
ed, that De Castellane himself was
absolutely penniless. Under his gui-
dance the countess had spent $3, OO0-
GOO in the past four years, 5000, 00O

HOW A MCDONALD LOST

Reading the Times Union, of Jack

the following amongst the Ocala
news: "The announcement is made
of the death of DR.. j. Q. Alfred, one
of the Oldest andmost highly respect
ed citizens of Ocala, which occurred
this morning 18th of September
He was aged rs years and was the
father of N. M. Alfred, rising young
attorney of this city, and Miss Jean
ette Alfred, for a number of years a
successful teacher In the Jacksons-
vile schools. Everybody had great
liking for DR.. Alfred, who, in the
early days of the town, was its den-
tist, and man of such genial and
pleasant ways that people loved to
speak to him. Ocala will certainly
miss the honest, honorable, high
toned gentleman" This recalled tc
my mind my first meeting with DR.,

of his ancestors, Mcdonald. In 60

THE SAFEST BANK.

The Bank of France is not entire
ly free from nervousness regarding
the ability of the burglar and guards
itself in very careful manner.
Every day when the money is put
into the vaults in the cellar masons
are waiting and at once wall up the
doors with hydraulic mortar. Water
is then turned on and kept running
until the cellar is flooded.
A burglar would thus have to
work in a diving suit and break down
cement wall before he could even
start to loot the vaults.
When the officers arrive next
morning the water is drawn off, the
masonry torn down and the vaults
opened.
The treasures of the Bank OF
France are better guarded than any
other in the world.

SAY SOMETHING GOOD.

When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall; in
stead
Ofwords of blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his
head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is
wet,
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn aside
In ways or sympathy; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorified,

And so charge ye, by the thorDy crown,
And by the cross on which the Saviour
bled,
And by your own souls hope Of fair re-
nown,
