Gin and Died.

Manuel Wallace an old colored soldier,
died Wednesday night at S.o'clock from
the effects of an overdose of gin. Wallace,
who lived in South Topeka, at 1913 Mon

day. The next day he went up town, in
good health and spirits, and was brought
home by Policeman Osteen, colored. He
was in an unconscious condition. and
never revived, dying at o'clock in the
evening. Although no one will admit that
he saw the act, the story was freely cir
culated in the neighborhuod among the
colored people that in uptown joint or
drug store. Wallace made a bet that he
could drink a quart of gin at one sitting
He proceeded to win the bet, and died
from the effects. A negro shoemaker who

at st. Louis Last Night He Knocked
Out Tony Moran in Third Round.

ST. Louis, Nov. I'm the boxing con-
test scheduled for twenty rounds be-
tween Benny Yanger of Chicago ana
Tony Moran of New York, before the
West End club last night, Yanger
knocked Moran out in the third round
by a solar plexus blow.
Both men weighed in at 125 pounds
From the beginning it was apparent that
Yanger had the advantage. In the first
round he devoted himself to feeling out
his opponent. In the second round the
boxing started in fiercely, but in step
ping away from clinch Yanger landed
a left uppercut on the jaw which put
Moran to the mat and nine was counted
on him. Moran endeavored to retrieve
himself, but a blow on the head landed
him and the gong saved him.
In the third round Yanger seemed de-
termined to win out in a hurry. Moran
could not find him. After fiddling
around for a few moments Yanger
seized his opportunity and landed a blow
on the solar plexus and Moran was
counted out.

HOW M2. WARE DOES 1T
Boston Transcript Tells Way He
Handles Fake Attorneys.

The following is from the regular cor
respondent of the Boston Transcript
and was published in that paper:
If the shyster attorneys who are en-
gagged in fraudulent pension practice
fancied that they were making any gain
in exchanging Evans for Ware in the
cOmmllSSlOnershlp, they nave .prODd bly,
awakened from the delusiVa dream be-
fore this. Mr.. Ware has the credit Tor
more bluff and hearty ways than his
predecessor. but he IS in no sense be-
hind him in VigOr Of speech. Some OF MS
exDletives would hardly answer in Il
metropolitan drawing room. They slip
out with such ease when mis- indignation
Is excited. however. that to most ears
they seem merely to add spice to his
commentaries. The other day a Mich
tgan lawyer who had been ordered 70
show cause why he should not be dis
barred for malpractice in the depart
ment, came on to plead his case in per-
son. The commissioner gave the fellow
a hearing in his private office. Then he
was heard to say, as he opened the door
at the close of the conversation:
No, you've been robbing the soldiers.
I've had all 7 want of you. Now you
had better 60"
With this, he emerged from the pri-
vate office and seated himself at his
desk in the ante-rOom where he began
TO address his attention to some ac-
cumulated mail The attorney followed
him. apparently much crestfallen, and
approaching him once more set up a
low, whining protest:

He got no further Mr. Ware, who
had wh.rlec around in his chair and
risen, and was confronting him with thS
face Of a thundercloud, interrupted him
with:

And he seized the astounded LAWYER
by the arm and thrust him into the cor
rider.
Another specimen of the same class. a
gray-haired old scamp who had long
been disbarred. but had contrived to
keep uo his trade by working through
other lawyers not yet under tie ban
came on to see whether he could. not
make his way back into good stand
ing
He, too was granted a private inter-
view, and was deceived by his own glib
speech into imagining that he had made
a pretty fair impression. When they
were about to part. the lawyer paused
waiting for a last word from the com
missioner, who seemed to be in a brown
study Presently Mr.. Ware spoke.

The attorney bowed, all smiles. but
the commissioner went on to say with
out changing his tone:

LEAPED FROM WINDOW.
Patient, Melancholy Over Loss of
Fingers, Tries to Die.

New York, Nov. 7.-Brooding over the
loss of his fingers, which had been ampu-
tated Fritz Jack, 40 years old, a patient
in the surgical ward at Bellevue hospital,
jumped from the fire-escape on the second
floor of Bellevue to the ground yesterday
afternoon. He was not seriously hurt.
His act caused great excitement both in
the ward and among the patients in the
hospital yard.
Superintendent Richard said the
was admitted to the hospital on October
"a. The loss of his fingers made him
melancholy. and he said he did not care
to live. Yesterday Jack took advantage
of the fact that the physician in the ward
had to leave the room for a few minutes.
As soon as he was alone the man climbed
through the window. The patients set up
shouts and tried to restrain him. He
avoided them and jumped from the fire
escape, crying, "Goodby alIr' He struck
a clothesline, which caused him to hit the
yard pavement on his side and was on
his feet in instant
The patients who were in the yard tried
to catch him, but he ran around in an
excited way and lodged them. He was
finally caught by one of the nurses and
placed in the ward.

ON ASTREET CAR.
New York Detectives Have Fight
With Suspects.

New York, Nov. EARLY morning
passengers on Broadway witnessed a
lively fight between two police and three
men this morning. Two of Captain
Titus observation-disclosures and Tinker
went for a walk on Sixth avenue at 2
o'clock this morning. At Fourteenth
street they saw three young men watch
ing a number of workmen loading cases
of goods upon trucks and decided that
they had no business there. They had
a conversation with the trio, the upshot
of which was that the detectives in
vited their acquaintance to- accom-
pany them to police headquarters.
One of the young men is known as
Jordan, another goes by the name of
Slick among his acquaintance, and
third calls himself O'Brien. Tinker took
O'Brien in tow and Milmore took charge
of his two companions. The detectives
escorted the three prisoners through.
Fourteenth street to Broadway and
berry street. Everything was passing
pleasantly until the party got down as
far as Bond street, when O'Brien broke
away from his caDtor. ..@ -
He boarded a south bound Broadway
car in which there were about twenty
five passengers. Tinker followed and
jumped on the front platform of the
same car. When he spotted his man he
went into the car and grabbed him by
the collar O'Brien showed fight, and in
a moment both men were rolling on the
floor of the car. The car was brought
to a sudden stop, and most of the pas
sengers jumped out in order to give the
men all the room they wanted. The de-
tective and his prisoner rolled over each
other all the way to the back Dla tform.
and then they rolled into the street
By this time some of the passengers
decided to interfere and their sympathy
was with O'Brien- The proposition had
been made and agreeabIy received to
help the fellow who seemed to be get
ting the worst end of the conflict, when
Tinker called out that he was a central
office detective and warned the spec
tators not to interfere with him. They
took his advice and very soon he had his
man under subsection.
Meantime O'Brien's two companions
had tried to break away from MiIlmore.
They would have succeeded had he not
used a club which he happened to have
concealed in his clothing. He used the
club with telling effect, and just
Tinker had mastered his prisoner Mill
more had made his men quite tractable
too The three men were then taken to
headquarters, where. they were locked

ORIENT CASE is ARGUED.
Santa Fe Emporia Injunction Suit Be
fore Supreme Court.

The Santa F'e-Orient injunction case
from Emporia is being argued in the SUI
preme court. Robert Dunlap, of the
general solicitors office of the Santa Fe
in Chicago, is here to help in the case.
When the Orient secured its right of
way through Emporia it proposed to go
right through the Santa FEES yards,
striking it's coal chutes and other build
ings. 1t refused to go anywhere else.
and the Santa Fe brought an injunction
suit in the district court of Lyon coun-
ty to stop them. The Injunction was
refused, however. and the Orient kept
on grading its right of way with view
to going through those coal chutes. The
Santa Fe appealed the case to the SUI
preme court, and it is now up for argu-
ment.

Imperial Edward Arthur Pryor, from
bone; Estelle Liebling. soprano. and Grace
Courtney jenkins. violinist will give solos.
THE Kipling of Music is the way one
English paper described John Philip
Sousa. a comparison that is true and a
compliment to both men. Like Kipling,
Sousa is nothing if not strong and write;
ike him. too, Sousa has a story to tell
an original, stirring story, and quickens
the pulse and rouses the most sluggish
nature into mental activity. The military
element is dominent in the works of both
men, and Sousa has injected the American
military spirit into his works with. no less
certainty than has Kipling INN ortalized
the British Tommy Atkins. The composer
voices his tribute in crisp. crystalized
melody and swinging harmony-the au-
thor his in vigorous. sonorous verso and
powerful and pungent prose The prices
tonight are %, 80, rs and 81.
