 The representative of the associa- ton points out to the insured the many dangers that lie in the permis- sion to smoke. There is the danger of a lighted match being thrown where it will do the greatest amount of harm; of spark from pipe or cigar being dropped carelessly in an ignitible spot, either of which results in puff of smoke, blaze of flame and few hundreds or thousands of dollars out of the coffers of the in surance companies; dollars which might have been added to the profits of the companies but for the care lessness of 8 tobacco-smoking em- ploye~

 When Martin Julian's big Turk, Nouroulah, meets Jim McWeeney of Chicago on the mat in Grand Central Palace to-morrow night he may expect one of the hardest matches he ever has had occasion to experience. While little is known of McWeeney in the east, he is considered one of the great est wrestlers in the west. He has been at the game several years. He joined the Chicago Athletic club in 1897, and that year played right guard on their famous football team. which. defeated all the leading elevens Of America. He also played on the team the following year. and his Knowledge of wrestling and great strength made him q useful man on the field When in condition he weighs over POO pounds. He knows Nouroulah will have q big advantage in weight and size, but he thinks he will be able to put the Turk on his back.

dollars had uneeremoniously strangled our love of country. If l were an editorial writer, as l should like to be, though no one ever accused me of having any ability in that direction, I should choose as my first subject, 'sRed Signs versus Mems Souls" There is much that might be said on such a subject, and it would not all be com plimentary to the red signs, valuable as they may be from a financial stand point. They may prevent a few fires in this world, though I know of a number they have caused, but very much fear they will be accountable for number in the world to come.
 Men are weak things at the best, and tobacco smoking men are classed by those who do not smoke as especially weak. l speak from experience. for as I have said have smoked bit myself in times past, and have during those same times been employed in estah- lishments where red signs were gener- ously displayed. It is so easy to fool 'the boss" and get a few moments satisfaction from the loved tobacco that men fall easy victims to the habit. and let the future take care of itself.
 Across the dark river there may be even now many tallies against the red signs, and there are certainly more to follow. WRIGHT A PATTERSON.

How Bad FiressAre Caused Where Smoking Is Forbidden

old employe, his pipe in his mouth, had wandered some little distance from the spot where the forbidden thing could be hurriedly hidden in case of an emergency, and ''the boss" was upon him. Quickly he transferred the pipe from his mouth to his hand and held it behind him while he talked to 'the boss," and at the same time kept steadily backing away toward the corner where it could be safely hid den. But as i'll luck would have it, there was in the same corner file hook, on which hung a number of un- filled orders. He backed into it; the corner of sheet of tissue jammed itself into the bowl of the pipe and ignited from the spark that had been intended only for the tobacco. In a moment it was in flame, a flame that was instantly transferred to other sheets of tissue on the same hook, and they dropped in a blaze to the oil soaked floor.
 The fire department came quickly but not in time to save corner of the establishment. 1t was rebuilt, how. ever. and the insurance companies paid the cost.

caused by the presence of these signs. If I did I should take pleasure in printing them in the interest of to- oIing employees, with whom I am numbered. But I do know per sonally of few incidents connected with the subject that point the moral that there is danger with them as we'll as danger with" rem.
 In Chicago few { ago trades man to whom his pipe is one of the procurable luxuries of life entered the establishment in which he is em- ployed. He had stood on the front of trolley car during almost an hours cold ride to work for the eN- press purpose of getting all the sat isfaction possible out of his pipe he fore he encountered the red signs that forbade his further enjoyment for the day. One pipeful of tobacco had gone up in smoke and a second was we'll under way before the doors of the shop were reached. It was too good to dispense with until the last moment, and he refrained from ex- tinguishing the tiny spark that pro- duced the satisfaction until he had stepped inside the shop door. Then the pipe had to be disposed of hur- riedly, for just inside that door stood ''the boss All usual precautions were thrown to the winds; the pipe, spark and all, went into his overcoat pocket, and few moments later the coat was hanging in his locker.
 Half an hour or more passed, and then some one not only smelled, but saw smoke. It was a little time longer before the smoke could be definitely located. When it was, and the locker was opened, the smolder- ing fire broke into flame; a hurry call went in to the fire department; water was poured literally into the establishment, and the insurance com panies paid a considerable claim for damages.
 It was the red signs that had caused it.

Then one day came the insurance in spector with the red signs and the in eXorable rules.
 The old employe tried for several days to abstain from the companion ship of his pipe, but it was useless. With it he was valuable, without it he was not; with it he was we'll, without it he was sick. He would smoke.

WILL ARREST FIGHTERS.

Mount Vernon, N. Y., March 21.- Acting on complaint of citizens Chief of Police Foley yesterday caused sum- monses to be issued for the manager of the Twentieth Century Athletic club and eight local fighters who are charged with having violated the law relative to prize fighting. It is alleged that the club. under the guise as a smoker with a wrestling match as an attraction a few nights ago, pulled off a series of five bouts with the gloves in Columbia hall. The officers present started to interfere. but We're assured that the chief had given permission and that the smoker was private. The chief only gave permission to hold wrestling matches. He says an ad- mission fee was charged and that therefore the affair was not privkse.

JOHNNY RICHIE WON.

Memphis, Tenn, March 21.-Johnnie Richie of St Louis, one of McGovern's early victims, defeated young Mowatt of Chicago last night in the Phoenix Athletic club. Mowatt was knocked down three times in the twelfth round. While the referee was counting the gong sounded and Mowatt was dragged to his corner. He tried to walk to the center of the ring at the beginning of the thirteenth round, but his knees failed to support his weight and Referee waved him to his corner and gave the fight to Richie. Mowatt had all the best of the earlier rounds. In the fourth he planted right and left which sent Richie down to take the full count, and again in the sixth he fioored Richie. After that Mowatr tired badly and was weak in all the succeeding rounds.

 It was not "the boss"- who pushed the door open, but it might have been, and the cigarettes went across the partition just the same. One of them landed in a pile of paper, and few minutes later cry of. fire went ring ing through the building.

PUBLIC SCHOOL REVENUES

The New Mexican says hat the re-
port OF the territorial superintendent
OF public Instruction Will show that the
public schools Of this territory received
from territorial and county taxation.
from licenses and fines, from proceeds
of the leasing of public lands. about
5000 900 during the ast fiscal ye9r. This
sum would be largely increased were
there a better and more honest assess
ment In some OF the counties. a stricter
n better collection of saloon and
gambling licenses. of fines in the dis
trict court and before justices of the
peace, and OF poll taxes for school pur-
poses Were this the case the amount
could easily be brought up 10 half a
million dollars. This sum Is for the sup
port Of the public schools Of the terri
tory alone and not for the support OF
the higher educational institutions An
the territory, which are supported by
direct taxation. Taking into conzde-
ration the fact that the assessed taxa
ton Is less than $40. OOO, 900, the raising
OF half a million dollars more for school
purposes by direct taxation, by poll
taxes. by gambling and saloon licenses,
w hhN7 AnPorNA ny the aASNlCl court
n by justices OF the peace and from
h leasing Of public lands. is a very
large sum. That many OF the school
districts do not possess the school ia
cillt,es they should Is in many cases to
be attributed, not 10 the lack of funds
for the support Of the schools, but to
anefficiency or inability to run school
matters properly. In such cases, OF
course, taxation would do no good. The
more money collected, more would be-
thrown away, and without any CORES
pording good. However, the situation
in regard to public school matters in
h territory Is improving, and at quite
a rapid rate. Too much cannot lie done
an a short space Of time. and to-day
this territory has a better, fairsr. more
liberal n more efficiently managed
school system Than some II the south
ern states that attained the dignity Of
statehood fifty. sixty or seventy years
ago.
