THEY KILLED THE GOOSE.
Theodore Roosevelt Talks About inc Downfall of Boxing in
 New York City.

Chicago, Jan. o.-Vice-President- elect Roosevelt, in an interview on prize fighting, published in the Trib- une, said:
 Boxing might have been going on in New York right now if the men who had charge Of the clubs had handled it with care. They made a mistake oy not stopping contests when they became brutal, or when it was manifest to all that one of the contestants had no possible chance of winning
 He cited the Jeffries-Sharkev bout. which he said "should have been stopped at the end of the twenty third round, as it became brutal after that and Sharkey had no chance"
 Gov. Roosevelt characterized the McCoy-Corbett fight as a ''sell-out,n g and added that there are only a few honest fighters"

HE STATUS OF PORTO RICO
Before the United States su- preme Court.

Washington, Jan. l0.-Upon the re. preme court Mir. F. k. Coudert. Jr.. resumed his argument in the Porto Rican cases, contributing his conten- ton that Porto Rico is not foreign territory and hence that it is incom- potent for the government authorities to levy and collect duties upon artitles imported from Porto Rico to New York. Before taking up the thraed of his argument, Mr. Coudert under took to respond to a question pro- pounded to him. Tuesday. by Justice Brown. The question was whether a country can cease to be foreign country and yet not be part of the United States-wh whether there is an Tn. termediate condition.
 Replying. Mir. Coudert expressed the opinon that such a condition might exist temporarily, and he add ed that the supreme court had recog- nized it in dealing with Tampico, in the case of Fleming ys. Page, and in dealing with California in the case of Cross vs. Harrison before the ae- quisition of California by the United States was completed.
 In such cases, he said, there was still a foreign element to be reck oned with, and our assumption of au thority was military in character. This assumption could be only tenn porary, and in case of the subsequent acquisition of the country in ques- tion, civil government must of neces- sity supersede the military control. On the other hand, if the territory is not acquired and is restored, the foreign sovereign takes control without any ostentation. showing that all the time it's rights have existed, though they have been dormant.
 Mir. Coudert contended that in a case of acquisition the dividing line is passed when a treaty of acquisi- ton is signed and ratified. When, he said, we sanction acquisition by the ratification of a treaty we thus sig nalize our control of and sovereignty over new territory. This, he asserted. had been done in the case of Porto Rico in the treaty of 1898, and by the treaty Porto Rico had become as much part of the United States as California had become by the pro- ceedings subsequent to the war with Mexico.

THE CHANGE OF LIFE

Is the most important period in wo. mans existence. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and some. times painful symptoms.
 Those dreadful hot flashes, sendinp the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop for good, are symptoms of dan. gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot flashes are just so many calls from nature for help. The nerves are cry.

T luHIED UP BROOKLYN.
An Early Morning Fire In the Erie Basin Front That Started
 Mysteriously.
BEARD's SHIPPING STORES SUFFERED.
Waters Edge and Couple of Lighters De.troyed-The Tramp Steamer St. Dunstan Had n Closs CaII-Loss. fJOo.OO0.

New York, Jan. 10.--In an early morning fire in the Erie Basin front that lighted up south Brooklyn, Boards shipping stores. at the foot of Richards street, were partly de- stroyed, an excursion steamer, the Idlewild. was burned to the waters edge; one fremtn was injured, and close upon 50 seamen narrowly es- caper with their lives. The loss is es- timated at $500. .000.
 Of Mysterious Origin.
 The fire started, no one knows how. on board ;he Id!ewild about one o'clock. The steamer was lying just inside the breakwater, from which joint she drifted, as soon as she was cut loose, directly across the Erie basin and up against one of Beard $ pier heads. In very short time the big covered pier. where jute and cot ton were stored in bales was in flames from piling to roof.
 Fire Department Responded Quickly
 The fire department responded quickly. The Brooklyn fire boats, the David Boody and the Seth Low, went to the fire and found more room to work when the steamship Coya, which recently arrived from Callao. was cut adrift from the burning shed and worked outside into the basin. There her crew, having set the pumps work ing, fought the flames with the deck hose, and before long had the fire un- der control
 The St. Dunstan's Close Call.
 On the other side of the pier was lying the tramp steamer St. Dunstan, from Liverpool, with a cargo of fruit and sugar. Her crew hurried on deck when the Idlewild banged alongside, rushed over the side and managed to get ashore. while the fire boats took care of the abandoned ship. ouenched the flames after her deck house had caught fire and her port side was bad ly blistered. and then set her adrift.
 Burned to the Waters Edge.
 The Idlewild meanwhile had burned 10 the waters edge. and a couple of lighters also had been destroyed. Fire tugs and engine companies were pouring their streams into the burn ing stores. but the water was swal- lowed up in steam, and the best that could be done was to keep the edge of the burning pier drenched and pre- vent the fire from spreading.
 By four o'clock the flames had died down 10 q shoulder in the bales and debris that had settled upon the piling.

 The trucks of the cars were hurled hundreds of feet away and under meath the powder car a great hole was torn in the ground.

STREET CAR ACCIDENTS
MUCH EXCITEMENT CREATED ON
NORTH ILLINOIS STREET.
A Little Boys Finger Cut OF by a
Cara Wrecking Car Dashes Into
n Car Heavily Loaded.

Two street car accidents on North IL
linois street, yesterday afternoon, caused
considerable excitement. The first was
at Sixteenth street, where Everett, the
twelve-year-old son Of James Johnston, Of
1926 Byram place, had one of his fingers
cut off by a street car. DR.. Haynes, who
dressed the injury, said the boys escape
from death was marvellous. AS he saw
it, the boy was trying to get aboard the
front end of car as it rounded the curve.
He missed his footing and was thrown
outward The speed of the was so
great that when his hold of the hand rail
was loOsened he was whirled around and
under the car. He thought the boy would
be cut in two by the car wheels. He was,
however thrown on TO the track just be-
hind the front trucks and had managed
TO wriggle off the track before the rear
wheels reached him. In making his last
effort to get out the boy threw his hand
backward and directly under the rear
wheels, which cut off portion of one fin
ger A number of boys who were play
ing in the vicinity said young Johnston
was not trying to get aboard the car, but
was placing nails on the track, beside
which he was kneeling to watch what it
done to EN-" They said he was struck
by the front steps and whirled around and
on To the track. Young Johnston, at the
tirne his finger was being dressed, declined
to say what he was doing.
What might have been more serious ac-
cident, at Illinois and Fourteenth streets,
fortunately resulted in nothing more than
slight injury TO Motorman Burnett and a
panic among the men and women passen-
gers on a north-bound car. Burnett was on
the wrecking car. and from Washington
street north ran the car at terrific speed,
attracting the attention OF hundreds OF
persons on the street. The car was being
taken to the McLean-place stables Ahead
of ii was one of the new cars, well filled
with passengers, most of whom were
women. The car stopped at Fourteenth
street to discharge passengers, and before
it started again the wreckng car crashed
into the rear end Many of the window
lights in the large car were broken, and all
of the windows in the wrecking car were
shattered. The passengers, some of whom
were standing, were thrown promiscuously
about and several severe bruises were re-
ported. Burnett was thrown from his car
through the vestibule window on to The
rear platform OF the passenger car. lie
was badly bruised and was slightly cut
en- the hand.
The heavy passenger car was not dam
aged beyond the scratching of paint. Tho
Wrecking car, however, was almost a COM
plete wreck Several large timberS in The
front end were broken. and all of the
lighter woodwork was reduced to splinterS.
Burnett, who was not a regular motorman,
said he was unable to get control of tne
current cutoff or the brake. During his
run from Washington street several col
lisons with vehicles were narrowly avert
ed, but only through the watchfulness ana
.orOrnD action of drivers.
