Chair Invented by n Woman.
New York, June 15.-This summer a
feminine mariner Of extended experience
who had grown Disguised with the IA
tigue that the ili-arranged steamer chair
invariably produces, designed a deck seat
of her own that has been widely enough
copied to threaten ultimate substitution
for the stools of repentance that are rent
ed by the comfort companies. Her chair
has a Morris back that, by the adjust
ment of two little iron pins. can be push
ed up or down to any angle. The ex
tender is much longer than the seat
proper, and the seat itself Is perfectly
level, so THAI when the foot rest is I'M

The dinner basket is a wicker tray that

sides are secured to the arms of the chair.
All the trays expanse is divided into COM

her mother one of the most beautiful Of

Signal System in Leavenworth Yards
Nearing Completion.

Leavenworth, Feb. 21.-With the COM
pletion of the block signal and sema-
phore system of switching at Beverly
and East Leavenworth, Leavenworth
will have very complete switching
system in her railroad yards. The to-
tai length of switches which will be
covered by the system will be between
six and eight miles. The facility with
which switching is done will be vastly
increased.

cradle time is lost in the passage OF

happens that the Burlington plug run

ny's exclamation that he could con-
tinue and told the men to go on Haw-
kins, furious at what he considered an
unjust decision, went for his Nnan ham
rner and tongs and at the end of the
fifth round Kenny's seconds threw up
the sponge.
The bout between Oscar Gardner
and Tommy White was unsatisfactory
that a draw should be declared were
both men on their feet at the end OF
the sixth, and probably for this reason
neither man exerted himself much until
the last round. Whites stabbing left
gave him a clear lead throughout. As
giving a line on his form in the coming
match with Terry McGovern, Gardeners
showing was a Disappointment.
Referee Siler said after the bout that
had he been called on to render a de-
cision it would have been in favor of
White without question.
Oscar Gardner, the Omaha Kid"
and Tommy White fought six fast rounds
to a draw. Gardner started out with a
rush, but missed and White sent his
head back with a, left jolt. The remain
der of the round was consumed in these
tactics, Gardner trying hard to get to
close quarters, but White holding him
off with his left. Near the end of the
round White started the blood from
Oscars nose with singing left.
The second round was an exact rep
etition of the first, Gardner wading in,
swing right and left, while White danced
around and contented himself with
jabbing the left to the face. Gardner
did not land one single effective blow
during the entire round and slipped to
the floor on two occasions from his own
rushes.
Gardner continued his rushing tactics
in the third, but it awaited him little as
White kept out of harms way by quick
foot work and before Gardner could get
Strengthened up again White would be
on top of him and send a left to the
face. Gardner changed his style in the
fourth and landed some good body
blows, but they did not appear to affect
White to any extent. The fifth round
was lively, but White, with his infalli
Bile left, managed to keep Gardner at
arms length and the Kid was unable
to do any damage. Gardner crouched
low in the last round and got to Whites
stomach with some hard punches, but
Tommy evened matters with his left to
face and an occasional cross with the
right to the head.

vAco1NATE EMPLoYEs.
Katy Surgeons scrape the Arms of
600 Texas Workmen

Denison, Tex, Feb. 21-Sunday night
special car No. 26 of the Katy. having
on board J. w. Maxwell, general sup
erintendent of the Texas lines of the
Katy; DR.. e. F. Yancey, chief surgeon
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas hospi-
tai department, and DR.. R. S. Yancey
of the local hospital department of the
Katy, arrived in the city. The gentle
men had just completed the work of
vaccinating Katy employees in the state.
They went over every mile of Katy
track in Texas, with the exception of
the ten miles of the Sherman branch,
and during the week that was spent on
the Texas lines, Vaccinated over 600 of
the employees of the Katy Nearly all
of the vaccination was done on the col
ored employees of the company. Only
about per cent of the colored employees
were found who had ever been vaccina-
ted and of the white employees, only
about to 10 per cent but had been sue
cessfully vaccinated.
The work of vaccination was perform
ed by the Katy surgeons, and it is be-
leved that this method will have much
to do with stamping out the disease en-
tirely, along the line of the company.
Thorough vaccination has been given
all employees of the company, and it is
believed that they will now be proof
against getting the disease.

Elliott, Blossom and Hughes voted for
it, and Councilman Morgan in the neg

GARDENERS POOR SHOWING.
Best He Gould Do With Tommy
White Was q Draw.

Chicago, Feb 21-Jack Root, the
clever western middleweight, decisively
defeated Ed Denfoss, of Philadelphia,
at Tattersall's last night, in the fourth
round of what was to have been d six
round contest. The fighting while it
lasted was more like scrap between
two longshoremen than scienced boxers,
both men resorting to clinching and
wrestling and going to the floor several
times in their clinches. Root, however,
clearly outclassed his man, pushing his
left into DenfOss' face with terrific
force time and again without a return.
A right hook to the jaw in the fourth
round did the business, Denfoss not
coming to for several minutes.
The Z 900 spectators saw the unusual
spectacle of one fighter winning from
his opponent twice in the same ring.
The bill included six-round go be-
tween Dial Hawkins, of California, and
Young Kenny, of Chicago Hawkins
started rushing at once and in the first
round landed a left swing in the pit of
Kenny's stomach which put the latter
down, sick and dazed for nine seconds

Active work has been commenced on
the rebuilding of the Midget COM

last Friday. A force of workmen be-
gan yesterday to cut away the rivets,

In all probability the cylindrical shell,
or rather that part of the boiler without
the ends, will be used again in the re-

shell, as far as all outward appearances
go, was not damaged by the explosion,

will be thoroughly tested before being

CHoYNsKr TO FIGHT wALcoTr.
''Freak" Battle at New York-other
Pugilistic Gossip.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Joe Choynski. who
won a clean-cut victory over Peter
Hdaher Friday night, viii next face Joe
Walcott, the fighting freak, who weighs
only about $50 pounds and stands a
trife over five feet high. From fight
ing a man weighing close to the 200
pound mark, and at one time cOnsid-
cred a top-notcher, to WaIcott, is quite
n jump, especially so when it is con-
Eidered that Tommy West, who was
beaten handily by John Root in this
city Mysterious Billy Smith, and
even Lightweight kid" Lavigne, have
beaten the black man in ring contest.
There is no dope" in the world which
could have figured to give O'Rourke's
man a chance against Choynski, yet
CsR0urke is one of the shrewdest man
ayers in the business. He astounded
the sporting world a few years ago by
challenging Sharkey on behalf of the
150-p0Under. and offered to bet IS, 900 on
the side. OF course Sharkey laughed at
the otter, but O'Rourke's money was up.
Then followed the challenge to Nc
Coy, which was ignored by the latter
drawing the color line. There is no
doubt in the minds of those who know
-CfRourke that he meant" his chal-
enges and that he could find substan-
tial backing for his man in case
match was made. He figures that his
freak can defeat a tail man, whose body
ha can fight with perfect freedom, much
