Driftwood the Eskimo's salvation.

No trees grow anywhere on the coasts of western or northern Alaska, and yet these shores for thousands of miles and the islands of Behring sea are strewn with immense quanti- ties of driftwood, in places piled high on the beach, bearing good testimony to the work of the rivers. This drift is the salvation of the Eskimo, fur nishing him with fuel and material for houses, boats and sleds. The en- tire northeastern half of Behring sea is very shoal, less than 500 feet in depth, while the southwestern hali is mostly 12,oOO feet deep. Scribner's Magazine.

 Baltimore, July 3O.-Young Peter Jackson, the California colored lad, won from Jimmy Handler of Newark, N. J., last night in the ninth round of the fiercest slugging match ever seen in Baltimore. The contest, which was to have gone twenty rounds, was def cided ill Ford's opera house. Both men were in good condition, but Jack son had the better of itin this respect, and this fact won the battle for him.
 Handler started the slugging as soon as the men reached the center of the ring, and kept it up all through the mill. He seemed to be able to hit the negro when and where he pleased, and hit him hard at that, but the Califor- nian took his punishment gamely and stood up under it handsomely. Han- dler looked to have the fight in hand in the sixth round, but the gong gave Peter another chance, and he fought wearily in the seventh and eighth rounds.
 Handler still was punching hard and often toward the close of the ninth round, when Jackson landed q vicious left swing on his jaw, sending him to the floor and making him groggy. After this there were some wild swings, with Handler gasping and dazed, until the police ordered the fighting stopped and Referee George Mautz decided that Jackson was the winner.

Next game here Friday.
 In Manchester Saturday Wiley bare ly escaped a mobbing for interfering with First Baseman Kane.
 That was a poor exhibition of base ball playing and steps should be taken to prevent any more such games.
 A dispatch received here to-day an- nounces that Joe Connor has signed with Cleveland and will finish the sea son with that team. He ought to make a good man for that bunch.
 ''Arlie Latham was once the prettiest thrower in the world" said Joe Quinn, '.yet he ruined his arm in one throw. He made little snap throw to first once when something in his arm gave way and he wasn't worth piece of Confederate money as thrower after ward"
 Waller was up against it in several instances yesterday. He was hit all over the lot in the third inning, got hit on his pitching hand in the sixth in- ming and fell all over himself running to third in the seventh. It was pc culiar game to be served up to the spectators at any time and was not taken in good grace by those present.
 Murphy is not playing his position as he should and as he could, and if he desires to hold his position he should get move on himself. His cr- TOTS are too frequent and costly. He may be sent out into the outfield to ponder on the changes in base ball and Courtney may be brought in unless things change at once.
 Milligan, who was heralded as a wonder, proved one of the greatest dis appointments that has been connected with the team this season. He has been given weeks trial and has done

MAHER AND sHARKEY.

There is a hitch in the proposed match between Peter Maher and Tom Sharkey and unless compromise can be effected it seems the contest will have to be declared off. When the match was suggested a few days ago, Matchmaker Forster of the Southern A. c. of Louisville offered the men a purse of .$4,000. He also declared his willingness to pull off the mill during the latter part of August Forster, who is still in New York, had a talk with Barney Reich. Sharkey's man. ager, on Sunday. The two discussed the prospective struggle and Reich, after careful consideration, came to the conclusion that the sum offered is too small. Reich told Forster to increase the amount few thousand He fur ther told Forster that he is ready to let the quondam sailor box for a per- centage on basis of 75 per cent to the victor and 25 per cent to the loser. Forster declared that heswanted a few days grace in order to communicate with his club mates. He promised, however, to let Reich know tonight one way or the other. If the increased purse is forthcoming the club will in- sist on the men posting a reasonable sum with Al Smith to guarantee their appearance in the ring. The club, Forster adds, will do the same. Maher has already accepted Forster's terms and is waiting to hear from Sharkey.

Trenton,, N. J., July 3O.-Thomas Frederick refused to meet Joseph Han dler at. the Trenton Athletic club here last night. Broderick was matched to fight twenty rounds with the Newark lighter. The storm and a few other inconveniences caused the usual large attendance to dwindle down to less than 1,000., Everything had the ap- pearance of the bout being decided until Il D. m., when Broderick's man. ager counted the receipts of the house and declared that there was not enough money to fight for.t ( Manager Eardley of the club offered a purse that exceeded the amount of money that was represented by the gate re- ceipts. Frederick again demurred and there was nothing else to do but 10 call the bout off. Walter Burgo, who is training here, was offered the place of Frederick, but he refused, claiming that he was in no conditiofi. The club conducted ten round draw between Jack Lansing Of Camden and Kid Coxey of Newark, and refunded the admission price to all the spectators
