Tom Sharkey and "Yank" Kenny
will fight twenty-five rounds at the
Broadway Athletic Club on next Fri
day night. Kenny was Bob Fitzsim-
mons's sparring partner for two years,
and incidentally became a very clever
boxer, fighting occasionally to enhance
his reputation. Next to Jeffres, he Is
the biggest man in the ring to-day,
and his size will give him quite an
advantage over Shaskey.
Charles FagerhoiT, a young Swede,
completed his long bicycle ride from
San Francisco to New York on Sun
day. He started Oh April II at noon,
and the entire trip took him 50 days
5 hours and II minutes. Fagerholm
started from the Golden Gate City
without a cent in his pockets. He
said that he was treated kindly at
most places, but IL some places he
was refused even a drink of water.
His route was frOm San Francisco to
Idaho City, then over the Rocky
Mountains to Yellowstone National
Park to Helena, taence to Niagara
Falls via Minneapolis, Milwaukee,
Chicago and Buffalo. Fagerholm said
he met the worst roads in the Empire
State He is machinist by trade and
merely took the ride in order to see

publican parties and various societies
went in different tugs, each having a
band. to bid him welcome.
The motives that have induced him
to return are the subject of much
speculation. Many believe that Cen
eral Gomez, disappointed at the atti-
tude tal3 toward him by the people
of SAINT Domingo, has come back to
Cuba ngage in an active campaign
for Y future presidency of the Gu
ban l,public.
y intimate friend Of Gomez says
Il if the politica! parties refuse to
combine he will establish a Cuba Libre
party of his own and endeavor to OBJ
tain a plebiscite of the entire island,
expecting in that way to force the
political leaders to adopt his proposal,
If only in the hope of future office.
1t is rumored that, for such pur-
pose, Gomez has been promised funds
by number of wealthy men, includ-
ing a United States Senator, who Is
said to have offered S500,000 on cer-
tain conditions, to which Gomez will
undoubtedly agree.
1t is said his first step will be to
bring all his influence to bear in favor
of the election to the Mayoralty Of
Havana of General Alexandra Rodri-
guez, partly for personal and partly
for political considerations.
Already his friends have issued a
statement saying that early in the
week he will attempt to consolidate
the Democratic, Republican and Ma
tionalst parties, with view of bring
ing about a harmonious constitutional
convention in this city in August.
The authors of this statement con-
tend that such convention is the only
path to independence.
1t is reported that Gomez while at
San Domingo said he was returning to
Havana to bring about the complete
and absolute independence of Cuba,
and that he had such a convention in
view.

chrlst.a Attractive Power.

Carefully suspend two balls by lon
threads from firm attachment
When the oscillations cease you vii
note that the treads are not parable
because of the attraction which tn
balls have for each other. Cut tn
threads and they fall to the earth
The same power, called gravity, opeIl
ates in all material things of thiiI
earth. Also it controls the planet
and stars and holds them in thei
circuits. They are all falling, bu
they are balanced and controlled b..
the wisdom OF the Creator so tina
their falling toward any center i:'
equallized by their falling toward
some other center and so they movt
on and on in their elliptic paths.
A lost planet is one that has falleI
out of its own best path. To save il
you must draw it back into its owI
safe and eternal course.
In spiritual things a similar "grav
ity" exists. We call it moral attrac
tion. Love attracts love, purity draws
love, truth begets truth. This is the
basis of redemption.
Jesus Christ saves men by present
Ing to them a character of supreme
beauty, perfection. goodness and love
These and all other virtues combine
to impart to him his supreme attrac
tiveness.
He knew his power when he said:
"And |, If be lifted up, will draw
all men unto me-"
Bring unhindered souls into his
presence, and unconsciously they viii
fly to him as naturally as apples fall
to the earth.
But souls also are attracted towart
each other.
If an alien power comes between
soul and Christ, 1t may be drrwr
away from him and drawn downward
to its ruin.
All souls outside of their destined
orbits are lost, are in danger Of de
struction so much so that they car
not possibly get themselves back un
aided. The attractive power of Chris
is the only influence that can get
them right.
