RUDE BUT CONVINCING.
IFrom the sanitarian.l

Burnham's Leading in gives an
amusing account of the trial of a case
wherein a doctor sued to recover his
fee. The case was tried in Georgia
many years ago. Robert Toombs ap-
peared for the plaintiff and Alexander
H Stephens for the defendant When
the evidence had closed Mr.. Stephens
told his client, the defendant, that the
plaintiff had made out his case, and as
there was no offset, it was useless to
proceed further, and the best thing the
defendant could do was to pay the doc
tors claim. The defendant who was
named Peter Bennett, scorned this ad-
vice and Indignantly replied that he had
hired Mr. Stephens to speak for him.
and he must say something. Mr. Steph-
ems answered that there was nothing to
say; that if Peter thought he could say
anything he might address the Jury
himself. whereupon Peter delivered him
self as follows: Gentlemen of the Jury

and doctors will jis skin and bury us

but never done it a bit er good I don't
believe he is no doctor nohow. There is

don't yearn his money, and if you seni

niger boy as was with 81 900, he lis

I don't!" Numbered the doctor.
Did you cure that nigger?" asked
Peter The doctor was silent, and Pc
ter proceeded:
las was sayin', gintilmin, we farm
ers, when we sells our cotton has got
ter Civ vaily for the money we asks, and
doctors amt none too good to be put
to the same rule And I don't believe

A REDUCTION OF WAGES
Causes One Thousand Miners to
Strike in New JERSEY.

Dover, N. J., July 17.-Because of
10 per cent reduction in wages between
500 and 1000 miners quit work in this
section this morning and a sherifs
posse has been kept busy all day quell-
ing disturbances.
At the Richard mine at Mount Pleas
ant, operated by the Thomas Iron COM
pany, all the men are out a few of
the men who attempted to go to work
this morning We're attacked by strikers
and a sheriff's posse was sent to the
scene.
All the men are out at the Mount
Hope mine, operated by the Empire
Steel and Iron company and at the
Hurd mine at Port Orange, operated by
the New Iron Mining company.
The district in which the mines are
situated is not a populous one and for
this reason the strikers have things
pretty much their own way.

The BrOcktOn polo managers appear to be upgagainst quite proposition
 ins the matter of 1ascertnining just where they belong. The SuutlIeastern: league would dAseem to llavesreeeived Il
 rather forcible jar by NIinchin, Gun
 ningham and one or two others includ-
 ing the irrepressible 'Rado White of
 Taunton, who have formed q league
 of their own, leaving out Brockton,
 and it now remains for the latter to
 get in if it wants to or keep out, just
 as it may see fit.-Brockton Times.
 : At the meeting of the National po-
 To league held in Hartford, the Spring
 field franchise was, turned over to
 William Aufort. who managed the
 New Haven team last season. Will
 liam H. Murray, who had intended to transfer his Providence club to the
 Massachusetts city, declined to take a
 chance with a club composed of the
 players awarded him by the league.
 bIr Murray was anxious to locate in Springfield and undoubtedly would
 have done so had he been able to se-
 cure 'Dickie" Pierce and "Nid' Con
 way for the team. These two play CTS however did not care to go there
 and as Murray thought the prospects were poor without them he informed
 the league that he would retire. In
 order to keep the league intact the franchise was awarded to MT Aufort and he has since been hustling to get together club that will give the peo- pie in the Massachusetts city good polo. Immediately after the close of the
 meeting he started to sign players for his club and thus far he has secured Eddie Mooney. Bill Whiting. Gavitt and Bill Hcffernan. Mir AufOrt tried to sign Frank Wodtke, but the Dutch man stated that h6 would not play this season. He also looked up HipSOn. but was informed that the runaway ruSh1T had gone to Lewiston to join Fred Does club. Last night MT Au- fort was in this city for the purpose of securing Billy Curtis. PaWtuckot youngstcr. who was highly recommend ed to him by several of the stars, Cur tiS was made a good offer to play in Springfield. but as he has partially made up his mind to Or;t the game for good. he did not give MT Aufort dcfi-
 nito answer Curtis is a fast man and his friends in this city are of the Opin- | ion that he could make good in the
 big league if he decides to again get into the harness. He will let MT Au- | fort know of his decision within a few
 days. There is no douit. MT AufOrt says. but what the league will go through the season intact as at pres l cnt constituted For his Springfield 1 team he has good backing hy individ-
 uals and the league has also agreed
 to stand behind him providing the game should not prove to- be Q paEln@ venture there. Springfield has the
 renutation of being o.ie of the best DO 1 1o cities in New England. however, and

FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS
Jim Jeffries is Trying to Call
 Bob FitZsimmons.


 It Is Regarded as One of the Big Eel
 lows Bluffs -. Lou Housman Criti-
 cises One of the Chicago Clubs and
 Fighters-Patsy Sweeney and Andy
 Watson Fight Twenty Round Draw
 James J. Jeffries knows all about the uneasiness of the head that wears a crown. He wears the pugiliStic crown, but there are thorns in it. While he assumes a contented and jovial air he realizes that a majority of the per sons who admire boxing are of the opinion that a slight flaw mars the cbampfon'S title He knows that when the ancient gladiator came forward for second fight with Jeffries, and one week from the time the old chap had capsized Sharkey,% the cham plon sidestepped.
 Jeffries also knows that it was his own proposition to fight Fitzsimmons before the Horton law went out of ex- istence, and all talk of a battle there after was idle talk. .ieffries. is now trying to convince the public that Fitz- simmons was at fault.
 ''Fitz will fight again." said lief fries in recent interview He re- tired once before, you remembers; told how he had sworn to his wife that he would never fight again and a lot more rot of that kind. Tne public would never have him as a theatrical star, and they won't have him now. As soon as he satisfies himself of this fact, I think he will be willing enough to fight again. He is going around 1 from barroom to barroom boasting and hragging about how easily he can whip me. I want to see him under take it. I gave him a licking once that he didn't forget for a year. l would just like to get another chance at him, and if I do. I will give him 8 humping that he will never~forget to the day of his dcatn."
 ''How is your lame arm?' the boil ermaker was asked.
 T haven't any lame arm,' he re- sponded. "The arm that was lame is all right now. If I get chance to tackle Fitz he will swear to it after am through with him. If he won | fight me. think Gus Ruhlin is entitled to the next chance. don't yOu!
 'Ruhlin is big, strong, powerful | fellow and decent one. He gave me good fight in California, and ms career has been honest and straight forward. and, as he has never been engaged in any falling that l know or I think he is entitled to more consider ation at my hands than any other man in the ring to-day, barring Fitzslm- mons. who conquered him, and whom l defeated with ease. and whom l desire to defeat again. just to =:ow the public that I am in reality the champion o1 the world"
 It can be readily seen that Jeffries realizes the public does not regard him as the real champion, and he hopes tc change that view by loud talk. | It is not improbable that Jeffries car beat Fitzsmmons as thoroughly as he claims, but what puzzles the public is the fact that when the old mar stood ready to fight in Madison SOuare Garden on the night Of August 31. the last day of Horton law grace, Jeffries | declined to toe the mark
