came that Rubin had given up the
battle, there were cheers for Jeffries.
intermingled with groans for his an
tagoEist- There was but little betting.
Jeffries was a , to I favorite all the
way through. and even when Rubin
seemed to have gotten his inning there
was no change in the odds There are
many who believe the fight was a fake.
The fact that the betting was 10 to 4
on a championship battle at the outset
made many believe there was some
thing wrong, and when the word came
that Rubin had quit the belief was in
tensif1ed- Others, however. insisted
that II there had been any cut-and
dried proposition it would not have
been so crude. At any rate, Rubin is
dead one in the sporting element He
wouldn't be backed for q dougbnut
against Sammy Clark after last nights

One Of the interesting local bets was
q pool on the number of rounds. the
sum involved being s45. which yvas
won by Jimmy Fulton and J. w. Lang

awarded the fight to Jeffries.
JeIfrles walked to Ruhlin's corner
and asked what was the matter. then

dressing room, while the spectators
rose as one man and cheered the
champion while they denounced Rubin
as a GUTTER and fallr. The police
Iumbled into the ring, stopped two

and officers Of the club were involved.
The utmost excitement prevailed, dur

CANNOT AID Beers.
Declaration is Made in the Bavarian
Chamber.


Munich, Nov. 15.-In the Bavarian
chamber today during the debate on
the general financial situation there
was much criticism of the crabbiness
Of Bavaria's representatives of the
bundesrath in regard to the South At
rican war and in connection with do
nestle matters The premier. Baron
Won Crailsheim, in the course of an
emphatic general denial of the allega-
tons made, declared that, however
regrettable, it was impossible for the
imperial government TO take steps in
the interest of aiding the brave
Beers"
It was a great advantage for Ba-
varia to be a member OF the German
empire. which, no more than any
other great power, could nowadays
evade the world policy. As to the
charge of CaesaTism, it was a matter
for cOngratulatiOn that the emperor
took such an energetic view of mis-
mission. Bavaria would always stand
Loyalty by the empire
AS to the words attributed to the
prince regent, 1 will not allow any
thing to be wrung from me. They
were never uttered, for the simple
reason that no one desired to wiring
anything from Bavaria"

WHAT PRESIDENTS LIKE TO EAT
Steward Of White House Tells What
Dishes Pleased the PaIates.

a.
w. 7. Sinclair, steward of the White
House, who has served in that capacity
since the first administration Of Grover
cleveland began has recently given 10
lne world some OF the secrets of the
" hite House. He has told what the pres
lqenJS liked To eat and It is 20 be noted
that presidents eat about the same sort of
food as other people do.
Their individual desires in the way OF
IoOd ana refreshments are just as char
any citizen
President Harrison was the most diff
uCulJ president Tor whom ] catered" said
MI Sinclair. He had a delicate dainty
appetite, ate little. but was as particular
as an Invalid about the quality and prep
aratiOn Of his dishes He appreciated a
tasty finely Favored but not OveE-sauced
MENU but II his finiCky appetite was dis
pleased ne was ready enough to find
Iaut. His praise consisted merely in his
lack of comment
He liked a salad, a small portion OF
the best meats, served simply but I'D
endless. variety, and his desserts must be
very simple and without the slightest
suspicion of Over-flavOring.
In some respects President Harrison
might be termed a high liver. but his
general characteristic was daintiness Of
appetite. I catered for General Harrison
only q snort while. but long enough to
observe his pecuiarities, and I never en-
wed my successor during his term Of
office.
President Cleveland was a difficult
man to please in some respects but once
you understood his tastes, everything
was easy, / was with Postmaster Cen
eral Dickinson for a number of years
before President Cleveland appointed me
as his steward. President Cleveland and
Mr. Dickinson were alike in tastes. and
l had little difficulty IN catering to the
presidents desires. He liked game fish.
good meats, and was a hearty lover of
well selected and lastly prepared viands.
He was particularly fond of canvasback
duck
on one occasion a friend Of President
Cleveland expected him to luncheon This
was when the president was living out at
Red Top There were also several of Mr.
Cleveland s intimate friends among the
party. The host was anxious to serve
canyasbacks during the little meal, but
there was not so much as a single feather
Of the bird in this vicinity. Cold storage
1ucks could be gotten in New York, but
this gentleman was too shTeWd to serve
them to the president He wanted those
iucks, however, and his steward came
and asked me to make a search Of the
markets. 1 could not get them and he
went away disappointed
All the presidents ] served liked ovs-
-ers- President Cleveland was fond Of
Obster and relished them in every form.
