A Iuck1ess Lover.

Smart Set.)
I broke It off with Ann Long
She was too short. you see:
With Mabel Wright things all wen,
wrong,
We never could agree;
Then there was awkward Mary Blue,
Who was SO very green;
And Bessie Goode would never do
Because she was so mean.
It couldn't last with Jennie Read,
Because she wouldn't write;
And. after just one day, I freed
Myself from Nellie Knight;
I soon concluded that Miss Crewe
Must seek another mate;
And gave up Edith Early too.
Because she came down late.
Miss Wood possessed an iron will:
Miss Gay was always sad:
Miss Sharp could see the point, but still
She said my jokes were bad:
Miss Rich was destitute OF tin;
Too melting was Miss Frost:
In earnest, then, I wooed Miss VIM,
And-same old luck-I lost!

ERNIE KNOCKED OUT.
Jimmy Britt. of San Francisco, Now
the Lightweight Champion of the


SAN FRANCISCO. CAL. November 26.
Frank Erne Of Buffalo. lost his hold on
the worlds lightweight championship in
his contest with young Jimmy Britt of
this city, who knocked out Erne in the
seventh round at the Mechanics Pavil-
ion tonight. The contest was the fastest
ever witnessed in this city. Britt was not
so clever as the Buffalo man. but was
the most aggressive, and landed the most
telling blows. The men went at it from
the sound of the bell in the first round,
and it was nip and tuck between them
Britt proved himself the cleverer in a
clnch, and never missed chance to
use his right or left in a break. On one
or two occasions the San Francisco man
was at a disadvantage Erne was in a
lad plight several times. but fought back
with superb gamencss, and succeeded In
keeping the Californian off at most criti-
cal periods. In only one round did Erne
have decided advantage-the fifth In
this round he landed slight left on
Britt's jaw, and followed it up with ter
rife right to the heart. He continued to
play for the Californ,an's heart, and at
the close, had his adversary in an almost
gToggy condition.
THREE SOLAR PLEXUS BLOWS.
In the sixth round both men fought fu-
riously. Britt trying to regain the ground
ne had lost in the last half of the pre-
ceding round and Erne endeavoring to
secure decided lead over Britt. The
latter played for the Buffaloan's stomach
and heart and during the last half-min-
ute Of the round placed his left on Erne,s
solar plexus. Britt fought himself to a
standstill, and both men went to their
corners in groggy condition. but the
terrific punishment administered by Britt
was not to be overcome by the min
ute's rest preceding the seventh round,
and when Erne stepped to the center
of the ring in what proved to be the
final round. it was seen that he was
almost gone. Brit was not blind to his
advantage and rushed at his man, land
ing three lefts to the body and lefts to
the face and head. A left uppercut caught
Erne in the solar plexus. and he went
down for a count of seven. but his in
donlitable energy asserted itself, and he
reganed his feet, only to go down again
few seconds later by another terrific
left tos the same place. He rolled over
and did the best he could to regain his
feet, but could not do so.
Jim Britt's professional career COM
menced less than a year ago. but during
that time he has successfully fought
his way to the top.

Union Pacific BoiIermakers Still
on a Strike.
Weekly Benefits Amounting to
$1,000 Being Paid Out.
M'NEIL GIVES FIGURES.
Says There Are 600 Strikers in
the United States.
BOiIermakers Union Has Nearly
$4,000 Members.

According to the figures given out at
the head office of the Grand 1nterna-
tiOnal Union of ROilermakers and iron
ShigbuilGers. which is in Kansas City,
kas.. the lodge is paying over Sl,500 pei
week in benefits to the striking boiler
makers on the Union Pacific system.
Over $4,000 has been paid out since the
Strike began and John Mcneil, the pres
tdent, says t5ere is still plenty Of money
IN the relief fund.
There were originally about 240
striking boileImakers on the Union Pa
ciflc," said President Mcneil yesterday
Some OF these have secured positions
on other railroads. 1 would estimate
that there are about forty of them
working. BY the provisions of our con-
sttuti0n AL strikers who fail to secure
other employment receive weekly ben
eflt- Married men are given s. per week,
while single men get only SIS.
Besides the Union Pacific strike, We
have other troubles, although all of the
big railroad strikes. the Union Pacific
alone excepted have been decided in our
favor. Our troubles lie mostly in the
contract shops. In Minneapolis there arc
% men on strike. in Birmingham, Ala,
90: In Oil City Pa. p; in Buffalo, 40.
and in Oswego. N Y. IFS. In Buffalo
the men employed in the Lehgh Valley
shops are striking, but all the others
are employed in contract shops.

The boilermakers have an excellent
system for raising a relief fund for
strikers Every month each member of
the union pays 25 cents into the general
fund, which is rserved Scr the relief of
striking bOilermakers- There are nearly
$4,000 bOilermakeTs holding a member

the business transacted as many indie
pendent systems. the reorganization of
the working forces, new allotment OF
duties and a rearr2 ngement OF the ter
ritoriaI boundaries of the new official
districts have all put extra work on the
head of the company
This work of fearranging the system
and plans of doing the business was
enough Tor one man, but in addition to
this the reOrSaniZa ton necessarily put
on the president an added burden.
1t has been known that after the i'll
ness of last spring President Leeds was
not the most Obedient Of patients and
that in his anxiety to personally attend
to the duties of his office and discharge
his obligations to the other stockholders
he insisted On attending the annual
meeting when the doctors said he
should not do So
The strong constitution which has
carried him through some of the most
remarkable achievements in financier-
ing and railroading during the past few
years is not equal to the task of recov-
ering from the ailment and at the same
time being subjected to the strain of
ceaseless mental and physical labor. 1t
is said that the physicians have at last
impressed him with the fact that a
period of rest must be takn IN order
that the full recovery of his former
health and strength may be made Ger
tain and speedy.
The business of the operation of the
Rock Island has been during the past
few months so arranged that the preSf-
dent may free his rand from all cares
for Il period and take the res cure his
physicians insist Upon withcnr il any
way disturbing the orderly discharge Of
the daily business. It is expected that
a few weeks of treatment such as the
physicians advise viii suffice to bring
full recovery.
President Leeds sickness, or rather
indispOsition, is said to in no degree ap-
prOach a breakdown or collapse of the
physical or mental faculties: the con-
diticn is just that of an oVsrworked
man who needs rest and whose Dhysi-
clans orders are necessary to compel
him to take it.

1.-THE engineer for the city estimated
this going value at $67,276. and the other
engineer estimated 1t at $21S, 771.S3 going
value estimated also included one
year franchise then supposed to be exist
ing.
Each engineer, in his respective report,
has set out in detail his methods of es-
timating the going value and adduced
arguments in support of his theory. After
reading such reports I am not impressed
with the fact that the going value at the
present time could reasonably be esti-
mated at more or as much as the amount
named by the engineer employed by the
city
There is. of course, no way to deter
mine in advance what sum a tribunal
charged with fixing such value would de-
termine, but it appears to me, from an
examination Of these reports, that such
value when reasonably and justly esti-
mated ought not, for the reasons L have
suggested. exceed at this time the esti-
mate placed thereon two years ago by the
engineer who made the estimate for the
city unless labor and material are
much higher now than then. However,
few men who have special information,
knowledge and experience respecting the
various amounts to be estimated and
taken into account in arriving at the total
value, are better able to judge. Persons
without knowledge of the present values
of the materials to be used and the cost
of labor in building a plant cannot make
an estimate as to those matters. The re-
ports of the engineers are, however, full
as to details upon such matters Depre-
citation and going value are mere mat
ters of judgment A proper estimation OF
them depends upon knowledge and good
