PROF. SUNSHINE QUITS.
Eleven Rounds of PummeIing by
Kid Smith Too Much For the
Mercur Wonder.

Professor Sunshine, the "MercuT
Wonder" and Kid Smith hailing from
the mining camp Of Ophir, a suburb"
of Mercur, met in the arena at the
latter place last evening to settle a lit
tie dispute among themselves as to
which was, entitled 20 have his name
coupled along with JeffTies, Young Cor
bett and other champions Of the prize
ring. The abilities of these knights of
the padded mitJ has been the cause of
much contention among the sports of
Mercur for some time and the final
outcome was match for $50 a side and
the gate receipts. A large crowd gath
cred at the ringside last night - wit
ness the bout.
In the eleventh round the professor
came the Rubin act" and quit. Smith
was declared the winner. The man
from Ophir used Professor Sunshine's
body as a punching bag dIring the ten
rounds he kept inside Of the ropes, and
the latter wisely decided TO get out.
1t is said that the professor had in
vented several new blows for the coca
sion, but in his excitement failed to
remember them. HIS prize sleep pro
Queer was what he termed the double
tap" In delivering this blow it was
Mr.. Sunshine's intention to land a light
left in order 10 attract the intention Of
hij opponent and while the recipient Of
TIE blow was looking to see where he
had been struck, the professor would
send in a stiff right for the jaw. This
blow has never been tried in the prize
ring and would prove a wonder If prop
erly delivered. Another blow invented
by the professor was to Uppercut his
man on the chin with the left and at
the same time land a right swing on
the back Of the neck. Mr.. Sunshine
claimed that by hitting his man both
places at the same time the best re-
suits would be obtained.
In the Improved solar plexus" the
professor expected to land a left on
the short rite, followed by a hook on
the jaw. This is an Improvement on
the famous blow invented by Fitzstm-
mons, which lowered Jim C0rbetts col
ors. 1t is claimed by Mercur sports
that the winner Of the fight last even
ing intends TO come to Salt Lake and
challenge everything in sight.

Memories Of 71BIind Tom. y
Baltimore SUM

lbdlIlnOFe sum-
The recent visit to Baltimore Of Blind
Tom, the wonderful negro pianist, has
aroused a food Of memories among
members Of the older generation, as
well as awakened considerable interest,"
among those Of the younger generation
for Tom was probably better know n
forty years ago than he is today
Blind Tom, for that is his only name,
was born a slave in Dixie-prObably
in South Carolina-before the civil
war. In addition to being blind. Tom
was always considered lacking in men,
tai apacity-idiOtic, in fact Owing to
his misfortune ne was a favored char
aeter about the plantation and was sell
dom required to do any work His
mistress was a fine performer on the
piano, and his chief delight was to sit
and listen beneath the open window of
the room where she played.
One day. so the story goes, she had
/ occasion to leave the music room, and
while absent was surprised to hear
emanating from the room she had Just
left notes of one of her most difficult
selections played correctly and with
her own exquisite touch. Returning
hastily to the room she was amazed to
find Tom occupying the piano stool, his
round Eead thrown back and his body
swaying from side to side, just as his
audience saw him last week. Thus was
Toms genius discovered and he became
one Of the most popular musicians Of
his day. He was taken by his master
all over the country and never failed
to attract large crowds.
During the early part of the civil
war Tom made q tour of the consed-
crate states. These were his halcvon
days. In his repertoire was one piece
which never failed to set his audience
wild. Il was called THE Battle of
Manassas" and was reputed to be a
composition Of Toms. A lady who
heard Tom play 1.-The Battle of Manas-
sas" thus describes It:
From the treble notes came sweetIy
the far-away sounds Of. the confederate
bands, as they advanced, playing The
Girl / Left Behind Me- while the bass
generously represented the northern
hosts. heralded by the strains of Yam
kee Doodle. Nearer and nearer drew
the opposing armies. louder and louder
grew the respective national airs; then
came an Ominous lull, followed by a
single boom. and the contest had be-
gun. What a perfect pandemonium If
sounds next followed! The roar of ar
tillery, the roll OF musketry, the call IF
the bugle were in turn Initiated, while
occasionally Dixie and The Star
Spangled Banner came floating from
the south and north; the audience.
meanwhile, listening in GREATNESS IN
terest At last the uproar ceased ana
the ungainiy musician, awkwarily
bowling. retired amid prolonged ap-
plause"
This ability to play two entirely dif-
ferent airs simultaneously is oae ef
Toms most unique accomplishments.
Southerners Of Toms generation say
that at the time of Toms tour If the
southern states in the early sixties his
age was given at Is. which would make
him at least IS years old now.

PRISONERS QUIT JAIL.
Two More Men Decline to Re-
main in the Ogden
BaStile.

Another Jail break occurred last night
about Z o'clock, when Samuel Glover
and James O'Brien skipped out from
the county bastile, getting out of the
cage through the hole sawed by the
four others TO escape a couple Of weeks
ago
The prisoners had been locked in the
cage and had been given their suppers
by Jailer Cave. While the jailer was
at his own supper the men worked
loose the door of the cell from which
the previous escape was made. and
from there easily got out into the cor
ridor- The hole in the stone wall had
been filed N so the prisoners remained
quiet TIL the jailer came in TO take
away the dishes. After unlocking the
door he stepped over to the womans
department to get the dishes from Mrs
Glover, the only inmate Of the womans
ward
During his brief absence the two
men slipped out. and when the jailer
re-entered he was warned by J. P
Hays, the trusty that the prisoners
were in the corridor. Cave locked the
door, but as it afterWaTd developed the
two men were already half a block
away.
Glover was confined awaiting trial on
a charge Of grand larceny. being i'm
plicated with his wife and another man
in the theft of $500 belonging to a
sheepman. O'Brien was recently

sun. And they never think Of leaving
out dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
They are sure to claim that their nos
trum is absolutely certain to cure every
dyspeptic and he need look no further.
In the face of these absurd claims it is
refreshing to note that the prOpTietOrS
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have care
fully refrained from making undue claims
or false representations regarding the
merits of this most excellent remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They
make but one claim for it, and that is,
that for indigestion and various stomach
troubles StuaTtS Dyspepsia Tablets is q
radical cure. They 90 no farther than
this and any man or woman suffering
from indigestion, chronic or nervous dys-
pepsia. who will give the remedy trial
viii find that nothing is claimed for it
that the facts viii not fully sustain.
It IS a modern discovery, composed of
harmless vegetable ingredients acceptable
TO the weakest or most delicate stomach.
It's great success in curing stomach
troubles is due to the fact that the med
zeal properties are such that it will di-
gest whatever wholesome food is taken
into the stomach, no matter whether the
stomach is in good working order or not
It rests the OverwOrked organ and re-
plenishes the body, the blood, the nerves,
creating. a healthy appetite. gives refresh
ing sleep and the blessings which always
accompany good digestion and proper
assimilation of food.
In using StuaTts Dyspepsia Tablets no
dieting is required Simply eat plenty Of
wholesome food and take these Tablets
at each meal, thus assisting and resting
the stomach. which rapidly regains its
proper digestive power, when the Tablets
win be no longer required
Nervous dyspepsia is simply a cOndi-
ton Ia which some portion or portions of
the nervous system are not properly
nourished. Good digestion invigorates the
nervous system and every organ in the
body.
ANY druggist viii tell you Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets give universal satisfaction.

voN HATzFELDT,s RoMANcE.
Was Forced to Divorce His American
Wife to Please Bismarck.

Count Paul Won Hatfield Widen
berg, whose death followed so quickly
his retirement from the post Of Ger
man ambassador to England. was for
many years one OF the most noted dip
iomats in the German service.
The especial interest of Americans in
the career Of Count Paul Won HAITI
lcldt was in his domestic relations
s4any years ago he married Miss Helen
MouIton, the daughter of Colonel Moul-
ton OF Albany, n. Y. and whose mother
was a daughter of q famous Old French
dancing master. Metz by name, who
was all the rage in New York about
the middle of the last century. There
was no money on either side of this
alliance, which was purely a love af-
fair, and while Count Won Hatzfeidt
was serving as ambassador at Con-
stantinople he became financially en-
barrassed to such an extent that ruin
stared him in the face. In this critical
emergency he turned to his old patron,
Prince Bismarck, who offered to eX-
trlcate him from his financial diff
eulties. but on the hardest conditions,
involving as they did his divorce from
his American wife.
Count Won Hatzfeldt accepted the
te1ANAAAANAiS anu Q0l0lAAEu a utN 0lNt AIOAA
the countess in 1886. His recall to Ber-
lin and installation in che exalted posi-
ton Of minister of foreign affairs was
part of the bargain. as was the ar
rangement of his financial difficulties
BY Baron Bleichroeder. The latter and
Prince Bismarck, however, contem-
plated the marriage of Count Won HAITI
feldt to Baron Bleichroeders only
daughter. but that was carrying the
thing little too far. and Count Won
Hatzfeidt contrived to stave off the dis
tasteful alliance until the baron's heir
ess became infatuated with handsome
young baron. to whom she had been in
troduced by the count, and whom she
insisted upon marrying.
When Prince BKmarcks grip on af-
fairs was loOsened by the death of the
old Emperor William, early in 1888,
Count Won Hatfield ventured TO re-
marry his divorced wife, with whom
he had remained on terms of warm
friendship and intimacy during the
short period of their separation. A
special object was attained by the re-
marrying at that time, as it enabled
their daughter to contract matrimon-
ial alliance with Prince Macmillan Won
Hohenlohe.
