Score another victory for Bob Fitz-
simmons. The ex-Australian pugilist
distinguished himself at Newark, n j.
one night last week by joining in
chase after a turkey thief, knocking
the fowl pirate down and ont with
left-hand swing. extinguishing the
pal who came to the offenders rescue
and returning triumphantly with the
spoils OF war to the Tightful owner.
F'itzsinmons' attitude in the turkey
matter is a novel one for a pugilist to
assume. As d general thing the aver
age fighter is willing to strain himself
in the endeavor to get hold of some
thing belonging to somebody else. But
when il comes to eXeTting his proves

very modest about coming to the front.

One thing about the coming fistic
carnival at Saeugerfest hall is that,
through the existing circumstances,
people of all classes have become inter
ested in the affair. The churches of Ger
tain denominations have taken a hand

ground that il is brutal: the politicians
are interested because the mayor has
sanctioned the bout without consulting
the party leaders; the business men are

Over an Edict on Head Dresses.

ROME, Feb. 16.-Works of art have
aroused criticism in Scotland. and Bos-
toms modesty has been similarly shock
ed. Now, strange as it may seem, Mrs.
Grumpy has arrived In Rome. For months
workmen have been employed by the mu
nicipality in preparing a large fountain
on the Piazzi Termini for bronze figures
Of marine monsters. sporting with ma ads,
the work OF a Siciliaa sculptor.
The figures had been placed in position
and everything was ready for their inaug-
uration, when several clerical and munic-
ipal councillors. encouraged by the cleri-
cal press, protested on the ground OF
public morality, declaring that. in their
opinion, these figures are excessively
nude"
The battle waxed hot at the capital
and public curiosity became excited. The
tall boards around the fountain which
were once regarded with Indifference
were daily surrounded by an inquisitive
throng, who tried to peer through the
cracks. The inauguration being st!ll post
poned, the citizens of Rome could no
longer control their curiosity
crowd OF Romans assembled in the
evening, yelling. We ourselves will in
augurate." And the gang demolished the
boarding. Then workmen, in order to pre-
vent accidents, were secretly instructed
by the mayor TO remove the whole pail
SADIE, the water was turned on in the
fountain. and the whole thing was briefly
inaugurated.
Another incident that happened at Bo-
logna shows the difficulty of CIericaIs
agreeing with the Italian populace. The
women OF Bologna, who have the reputa
tion of being among the prettiest in Italy
recently discovered that bands of velvet
with black lace fringe were a more be.

But the Cardinal, Archbishop Svampa
disapproved this. and issued an edict to
the sacristans of the Bologna churches to
turn into the streets all girls and women
who appeared in the churches in such
head dresses. In this way the Cardinal
earned the hatred of all the pretty women
in Bologna. who are now bordering on
rebellion against the Church.

sEABoARD's RECORD DAY.
Dealings I'm the Baltimore Market
Exceed All Saturday Figures.


BALTIMORE, Feb. 16.-Deaiings on the
Baltimore Stock Exchange today exceeded
il volume any previous Saturday in the
history OF that organization. Seabcard Air
Line Railway stocks, bonds, and under
writing allotments were the centre OF
activity. Blocks of from 100 to 2 coo shares
of the common stock we're taken with
avidity and enormous blocks of the pre-
ferred stock and per. cent certificates
were also absorbed.
Before the market opened there was ac-
tive trading in the issues by the curb at
advances of rs for the common, So for
the preferreds-an ana f-p0Tnt for the bond
certificates. The buying orders came prin-
cipally from New York and were accom-
panied by weIl-deinied rumors that an
important announcement would be made
in the course of the day
The many rumors current were sufficient
to start wild speculation In the stocks
and bonds of the Seaboard There was
crowded into the one hours session of the
stock exchange more business than is
usually transacted in two days.
According to the official record the
total sales of stock were 1910 shares
and of bonds. s240, Geo. OF stock transac-
lions, Seaboard common furnished 1860
shares and Seahoard preferred, 4 40
shares, while Seaboard 4 per cent bond
certificates furnished s159,e0O of the s24O,-
. GOO bonds dealt in. So rapidly were sales
made that it was almost impossible to
keep a record of all of them, and, it is
probable that actual dealings largely ex-
ceeded the official figures.
Practically the entire session was de-
voted to trading in Seaboard. These is
sues were the only ones called up in the
first thirty minutes. Prices scared rap
idly. The common shares. which closed

The trial of Towles was begun on Feb

to the jury which heard the testimony un-
til Friday-afternoon at p. m. At the
hour of the adjournment of the court a
verdict was not reached and Justice Cole
stated that he would return to the City
Hall at 1880 p. nj. At that time verdict
was not agreed upon and the jury was

morning the courtroom was crowded with
spectators.
Among the first to arrive was the de-

his son. With almost breathleJs expecta-

ELLIcoTT, THE SCULPTOR.
Moser's Tribute TO n Leading Wash
inSton Artist.

Henry J. Eilicott, the Washington
sculptor, whose sudden death from pneu-
monia after a three days Illness last week
at his home in Washington, was one of
the older set, and also one of the few
native artists residing here having been
born near by, in Ellicott City, Nd, in 1S4s.
Although not without his limitations,
MIR. Ellicott was a sculptor of national
reputation, who produced much artistic
and entirely satisfactory work He Will
probably be classed with that group OF
famous sculptors whose performances
mark the period Immediately following
the civil war. In bust portraits he also
achieved some distinguished successes,
the most notable being the fine bronze
bust of his artist friend. the late George
Y Coffin which is now In the Corcoran
Gallery of Art.
The shock which comes with the pass
ing OF a bon comrade whose Illness and
death all happened within the week is not
to be put in words. The sense of loss Is
followed by the reflection that life at
longest is short-never long enough to ac-
complish all the immortal things one is
forever planning
Mr.. ElIieott VS. blessed with lovable

he and added to this was gift for en-

management of the Society Of Washington
Artists, he was nevertheless always an
earnest supporter OF the efforts made by
that organization to win -rstognitfon and
raise the standard of art here at home.
There are so few sculptors- among the
resident artists OF Washington that he
will be sadly missed from their ranks,
where his CHEEKY presence has helped so
