SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. 1S.-
While interest grows in Fridays Jeffries-
Rubin fight, the odds are still ten to four
and no Rullin money is to be seen. Both
the champion and the Akron Giant
were visited at their quarters to-day by
admirinG throngs.
The men have practically ended their
exercise was all that they gave themselves
to-day. Tomorrow morning a short
ranble will be the last work they will
take, and Friday will see them in the
hands of their trainers and rubbers.
Harry Corbett. who will act as referee,
said tonight that the pubic could be as
sureo, as far as he is concerned, that the
men will fight from the moment they go
into the ring until one or the other is de-
CARED the victor
NO HUGGING.
There is to be no hugging in clinches. ;,
ne said. The people who patronize box
ms have grown tired Of these disgusting
exhibitions of hanging on, and it is about
time an end was put to it. OF course. a
referee cannot prevent the fighters from
coming together in clinch, but I want

PHoENIx, ARIZONA, SEPT. ?, 1901,

The wildly riduculous description ol Arizonas climate recently furnishes
 the Washington Pos, THAT by an amiable young GIRLS YARN, newspaper woman who AGAIN. spent last winter in
 Phoenix and whose wonderful imagination was never sur passed by any visitor 10 this town. is steadily travelling. Some weeks ago we quoted some of the many weird parag. aphs of the story. Since then it has become, with variations a favorite feature" of the Sunday supplements of certain class of metropolitan newspapers. and their artists are en- belllshing the romance with pictures of the most approved yellow brand
 The competition among sensational newspapers has developed q a good mar ket fo. picturesque lies. The New York World, and the New York Journal, and San Francisco Examiner were the first to recognize that a large propor- tion of the residents of the great cities are credulous geese, and that by cater ing to the prevalent appetite for the horrible and the wonderful heavy cir cu'a;ion could be achieved. Many lead ing newspapers in other large cities after protesting for awhile, have fallen into line in the profitable business of fa nd tb day magazine" while a subject for the cynical derision of it's very manu- facturers, is filled with blood-curdling stories, sensational scientific" arti- cles, indecent pictures, and alleged jokes, and has become tn main cargo of the news stands on Sunday IT, responsible and half-criminal cores pondents in all parts of the land make living by purveylng the truck called for by such publications
 The great popularity of this class of stuff is not due to an absence of better newspaper literature. For example, everybody competent to form an opln- ion would concsde that the Sunday edition of the New York Sun is the most instructive and entertaining and in al respects the best newspaper in the world; and the fact that some of the yellow journals with their Sunday supplements approach the Sun in cir culation constitutes melancholy ra- f1ectlon on the boas cd intelligence of the American peop,- It argues that the highest average of enlightenment is net found in the cities.
 The avldity with which this Post story about the climate of Arizona is snapped up and adorn q wi,h pie lures drawn from an insaue imagina- ton Is not peasant to contemplate, just at the time when the people of the t5rri,ory are making extra efforts to educate the east with reference to Arizona.

TUCSON IN i776.

Chas. F. Lummis in the Land oi Sunshine" declares that Tucson was es- tablished in 1776, which makes us much younger than some other historians. This should make us feel frisky, proud and exceedingly patriotic, when it is considered that Tucson and the Dec laration of Independence" of the United States were born in the same year. Now let us accept the data of Brother Lummis as correct, it wont be SD difti- cult to remember.

AN ADMIRAL'S DILEMMA.
How He Called Large Mrs. Little Mrs
 Large and Vice Versa

If Rear Admiral Lewis A. Kimberley who was to have been one of the court CT inquiry that is to examine into the | case of Rear Admiral Schley, were to revise Goldsmith he would probably write familiar dis;ich thus:
 Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that Little Large.
 When he was at Apia some years ago, during the petty Samoan war, there were among the volunteer nurses two Englishwomen: A Miss Large. who happened to be of diminutive stature, and a Mrs. Little, who was reall'' large. The admrars mind was so full of serious problems that h. was bothered in getting the names of the two ladies attached to the right per sonalities. The appearance of the larger one con- veyed a suggestion which naturally made him call her Mrs Large, and the little woman, by the same mental pro- cess, became for him Mrs. Little. That was all very well for a few times, and then Mrs. Little expostulated. She could take d joke, she said, as long as it could be considered joke, but when carried too far 1t began to look like insult.
 The admiral expressed deep regret that he should have thus distressed her, and naval tradition represents him as offering an explanation somewhat in this wise:
 Mrs. Little, were you less large should have no difficulty in remember ms that you are Little, but you your self must acknowledge that as you are it is httle hard to call you, Little.
