Young ladies' who may be moved to
emulate her may be interested to know
that the Denver Diana is only four feet
eleven inches tall. She is, however, ex-
traordinarily muscular with no extra
pounds. Her exact measurements are
as follows: Forearm, S inches; biceps,
9 inches; wrist, 5 inches; calf, IL
inches; thigh, 1914 inches; waist, 1S
inches; neck, 10 inches; chest, 80
inches; reach. 60 inches.
Now, in addition to her muscle and
pretty face, Miss Ethel is a young lady
of marked initiative. When her stall
wart young brother conided to her
quite in secret his pugilistic ambitions
she said to him:
Listen to noe, WIZ. If you want to
be fighter, skip rope. 1t vii, help
your wind and it will make your feet
nimble."
The budding champion laughed.
Whereupon his sister explained fur
Their and he took her advice. This was
two years ago. To-day he is the cham
pion. This illustrates the remarkable
sagacity of woman.
Having become an expert rope
skipper and demonstrated the wisdom
of the exercise to his own satisfaction,
young Mr.. Rothwell needed no persua-
sion to adopt the next piece of adj
vice his sister gave him.
This was that he should try saw
ing wood. In the back yard of the
Rothwell house there is always an
enormous stack of logs and a large
saw. She advised him to saw with his
right hand for IL or 20 minutes and
then do the same with his left. This
was to help him a puncher. She was
always present TO see that he did it
web.
If he grew tired she still kept him
at it.
Before entering battle Young Cor
bett was coached at home or at his
training quarters by this sister. At
almost every fight she accompanied
him al far as the amphitheater. when
she would go home and await the re-
suit Of his encounter. Her advice was
always: Keep cool and let the other
fellow do the worrying"
She figured that he would have be +

his opponent and delivering his ia

COACHED BY SISTER.
Little Ethel Rothwell Trained
Young Corbett" for Ring.
First Champion PugiIist Who Owes
All His skin, Fame and Prbwess
to the Clever Advice of a
Little Woman.

"Young Corbett," the champion
lightweight pugilist Of the world,
owes his supremacy to woman.
Not in the ordinary romantic sense.
Young Corbett's athletic greatness has
no sentimental basis. On the contrary,
in the most literal sense Of the words.
young Corbett," otherwise William
Rothweil, has been expertly coached
for his great part by his younger sis
ter.
Plainly, therefore, glory ought to
fall where glory is due. Miss Ethel
Rothwell, who is IA in the matter OF
years, but infinitely more mature in
the matter of common sense, ought to
have at least as much Credit as the
trainers" Of other great fighters have
had. Indeed, if the extent of the sery-
ice she has rendered her brother were
widely known, Miss Ethel, who is now
the most domestic and retiring Of
misses, would be in demand as an ex-
pert authority by Hght-weights the
world over.
As coach" Ethel was born, not
made. In her well-balanced little head
the principles of successful prizefight-
ing were providentially innate. Or
this at least was inferred by the rep
resentative of the New York World
who called upon her at her home ia
Denver.
1t is useless to deny, though this is
incidental, that Miss Ethel is excep-
tionally attractive. She is vivacious
redcheeked young lady, with deep blue
eyes and two heavy braids Of auburn
hair.
The main point is that in build she
greatly resembles the champion.

FINN HAD A LONG CRUISE.
Sailed to New York When He Could
Catch No Fish

William Finn, who arrived at New
he had sailed all the way from the
Georgia coast was not a Savannahian.
He is a rigger, and his home is in
South Brooklyn. He came south TO
fish, having heard that the shad fish
cries of this coast were very remunera-
tive. His mind pictures of the money
he would make for his wife and eight
children were very pleasing. and ne
wanted them to become realities. His
experience, after his arrival in these
waters, however, was not encouraging.
Il heard of the fine shad fishing
down near Savannah, so last winter
concluded to go down and try my
luck said Capt. Finn to the New
York Times. Il took a little capital
that 1 had put away and went down
to Savannah, where I had the Shad
built No, it isn't what you might call
a graceful craft. It's thirty-five feet
long, twelve feet BEAM and just as
wide at the stern as it is amidships.
Worse than that, it it fiat bottomed,
and five feet deep. It's what you
might call a homemade boat, but no
hurricane could blow it over"
The skipper hired five negroes, four
to help him fish and one to pull the
boat. Luck was not with him, how
ever, for in the whole winter he caught
only 800 shad. Il sunk a whole lot of
money" said the unlucky fiherman,
for the outfit cost me 81, 100, so I con-
Guided to pull up and go home.
II left Tybee for Hilton Head, where
/ fshed a week, but there was nothing
doing there. Then 1 went to Charles
ton, where there was everything hut
shad. off Hilton Head l sent the man
/ had with me ashore in the small boat
to get some fresh water. l wairedNan
hour or two. but he didn't show up.
Then 1 hailed a man rowing along the
shore and told him to bring OUT the
first boat he saw lying around loose.
This he did, and the boat happened
TO be my own.
Ten days ago 1 left Charleston. and
everything was lovely until l got off
Frying Pan Shoals. When l wanted
to sleep l could, for when running by
the wind, with a whole jib and a sin
gle reef in the mainsail, l could lash
the tiller and leave the helm fast
amidships, and that way, if the wind
held right, the Shad could sail around
the world. off the shoals, however, a
heavy blow stirred up a rough sea, and
shipped my little sixteen-foot boat
right in on top of me. That mixed things
up so much that 1 had to cut the
painter and let the boat go.
We'll, 1 am home now" concluded
the lone mariner. "and mighty glad
to get back. If 1 don't sell the Shad
I'll make another trip in her some
time. She's a daisy, all right; floats
right on top of the sea and ships no
water. You could sail a year In her."

TROLLEY CAR, TENDERS.
A Strong Plea for Their Use in This
City.

Editor Morning News: The deadly
trolley car got in its work again on
last Sunday night, when it ran over
and manned a woman who was on the
track. 1t is almost a foregone conclu-
sion that if there had been a fender
on the car the victim would have es-
capped serious injury. There appeared
in the Press last week an article, with
big headlines, The Acting Mayor Does
Not Like Tenders" Says they do no
good where they are in constant USE"
He arrived at this conclusion three
years ago from information received by
him while investigating the subject
The acting Mayor enjoys the reputa
ton of being an up-to-date business
man and he ought not to be satisfied
to rest his opinions now on conditions
that may have existed. This is a pro-
gressive age and many things are
known now that were not thought of
three years ago. In the same article
it is also stated that another gentle
men, "a close observer" says that fen
ders cause. accidents instead of pre-
venting them; says that people do not
see them. This may be the case with
a certain class of individuals whose
magnified self-importance does not al
low them to get their heads down on
the level of ordinary folks. In that
event it is we'll to use the tenders if
only to kill off a few of
this class. But, joking aside,
it is absurd to suppose that the trolley
lines would be permitted to use fem
ders if d Close Observers idea is we'll
founded. Individual opinions, however,
are but of little value unless based on
informa ton susceptible of inrontro-
vertible proof Proof, that is what we
want. The conoensus of public opin-
ion (backed by the fact that nearly all
the trolley lines in the large cities are
using fenders) preponderates largely
in favor of the fender. As to the ex-
pense, that is a matter scarcely neces-
sary to consider here A corporation
that capitalizes the value of it's fran
chises Chat cost them little or moth
afford to give the people this needed
protection. If they do not they may
find themselves confronted some fine
morning with a suit for damages
strongly supported by a plea of CON
tributory negligence, viz, in not using
the appliances on their cars thought
necessary and generally used on other
lines. In the event of a verdict for a
round sum this corporation may then
realize that the public have some
rights that even street car companies
are bound to respect. Put on the
tenders. If not, why not? Let us hear
from the other side. Citizen.

Great Crowds Appreciate the SHOW

The attendance at the Casino this

attendance was broken, and repeated
again last night. Those who have Wis
tied the performance vote it one of
the best of the season. The company
is under the management of William
II. Mack. The applause has been
great at all performances. Mayo and
Mayo open the show with a sketch, in
Producing singing and dancing. They
are hard workers and deserve a great
deal of praise. Mack and Phelps,
travesty artists, are winners. Their
comedy is OF a high class and the
singing OF Miss Phelps is the best
heard at the Casino this season. She
has very high soprano voice. She
received several encores. Mr.. Mack

dancing, which he does in very neat
and original stryle, being of rather
large proportions. The sketch is very

melodies, just as the patrons of the

FUNERAL OF FATHER REILLY.
REMAINS LAID TO REST IN THE
CATHEDRAL CEMETERY.

Impressive Funeral Services Held
Yesterday Morning i'm the Cathe-
drnI of st. John the Baptist-Omces
of the Dead Chanted by Ten
Priests-These Were Followed by a
Solemn Requiem High Mass, Very
Reverend Father Bazin Being the
CeIebrRnt-Servfces at the Cathe-
draI Largely Attended. and Many
Followed the Remains 10 the Gem
etery.
The funeral of the late Rev. Father
Michael T. Reilly took place yesterday
morning. The services were held in the
Cathedral of st. John the Baptist,
| where many gathered to pay the last
tribute of respect to the beloved priest.
In order to make it as funereal as
possible, the Cathedral was despoiled
of its rich decorations, and sombre
mourning took their places, indicating
the grief of priests, friends and par
ishioners from whose midst the de-
ceased had been taken In a handsome
casket at the head of the main aisle
were the remains. and, as those who
attended the services entered, they
passed before this to see the face of
the dead priest.
The offices of the dead were chanted
by the ten priests. Among the visit
ing clergy were Very Rev. Father Ba-
Yin, vicar general of the diocese, of At
lanta; Father Bernard and Father Eu-
gene, of Belmont, N. c. Father Luckie
of Brunswick and Father Gregory of
st. Bartholomew's.
1t was at $50 o'clock that the SER
vice began. The offices of the dead
consumed half an hour, so that the
celebration of the solemn requiem high
mass began at 10 o'clock. Father Ba-
Yin was the celebrant, and Father
Kennedy, rector of the Cathedral and
chancellor of the diocese, was deacon.
Father Jackson acted as sub deacon.
Upon the conclusion of the impress
sive mass, the eulogy of the dead was
pronounced by Rev. Father Halpin,
who, after abiding to the certainty
and the uncertainty of death, address,
ed himself especially to the career of
Rev. Father Reilly, whose devotion
and whose zeal had marked him for
the esteem and admiration of so many.
The congregation entered thoroughly
into the spirit of the eulogy that was
pronounced, for to all Father Reilly
was known and by all he was loved
and revered.
When Father Halpin concluded, pray
ers for the dead were offered, after
which those who desired were permit
ted to approach the casket for a last
view of the remains. The Sisters of
Mercy of st. Joseph's Hospital, the
Sisters of st. Vincents and the Little
Sisters of the Poor advaHced in their
respective bodies and made this last
sad inspection.
The priests then formed and filed
down the aisle, preceding the remains,
which were borne by the pallbearers,
to the door The pallbearers were
Messrs. James McGrath, John Lyons,
NJ. A. O'Byrne, John Flannery, Will
liam Kehoe, j. j. McDonough, F. F.
Gleason and Daniel Hogan
Many followed the remains to the
Cathedral Cemetery, where they were
inferred in the priests lot.

0GLETHORPES AT TYBEE.
Great Success Was Won by the Conn
pnny with Its Picnic.


Save for July 4, probably the largest
weekday crowd of the season was
that which visited Tybee Yesterday.
OF those who went to the island, the
great majority were Seaboard Air Line
excursionists. Exclusive of the train
leaving the city at $40 o'clock last
night, there were 1.176 passengers TO
the island. To this numoer may be
added possibly 300 that went on the
$40 train.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry was
lucky in having the date for its picnic.
Under an arrangement that the Tybea
Railroad makes with organizations. a
percentage of the tickets sold by men,
bers of the Oglethorpe Light infantry
went 20 the company. % large was
the crowd and so active We're the Ogle-
thorpes in making the sales. that a
profit of close upon 5000 will tie de-
rived from the picnic.
Members of the company were at the
depot in uniform to sell the tickets.
They worked hard, meeting the
crowds that boarded each train. The
proportion of tickets sold at taa rail-
roads window was but small.
General Satisfaction IN the returns

VISITORS HELP IRA
TRADE.
GENERAL SATISFACTION CAUSED
BY THEIR STAY IN THE CITY.

Both Pleasure and PROFIT Derived
From Their Visit TO Savannah by

the Seaboard Air Line-They Are
Taking Advantage of the Exten-
sive stocks of Goods Carried by
savannah Merchants to Do Their
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Resorts Are
Sousht by Many of the Visitors.
The nearly 1900 visitors who came
10 Savannah day before yesterday over
the Seaboard Air Line are spending
their time pleasantly and profitably.
The pleasure is derived from their trips
TO the various points of interest in and
about the city. while the profit fol-
lows from their trade with the NOR
chants This latter is shared by the
merchants themselves, and there is
general satisfaction. The visitors are
glad they are here, and the merchants,
hotel propriefors, restaurateurs,. and,
in fact, the city generally, rejoice.
Il don't want any better business
than a have had since the excursion
lists have been here said a well known
1estaurateur. Even the stay of the
soldiers was not more profitable. The
visitors are helping me and others in
my line of business, and they are
helping every branch of trade. When
so many people, with more or less
money to spend, come to a city, they
improve trade conditions
A walk on Broughton street disclosed
visitors in many stores. A represen-
tative of the Morning News noted them
making their purchases, and they
seemed pleased with the extent of the
business of the city. They were i'm
pressed by the large and comprehen-
sive stocks of goods carried by the
merchants, and anything they wanted
they were able to find. The merchants
said they had found the trade very
good.
The hotels were filled. At most of
them it was not possible to get room
late last night. They will continue
crowded until tomorrow, when the
tickets expire The excursioniSts may
return home on any intermediate
trains they like, but they cannot re-
main over on their tickets after to-
morrow. Some have already left, but
not many.
The resorts drew the visitors in num-
bers Tybee had a great crowd, and
genuine enjoyment was reaped from
the visit to the ocean. To not few
of the excursionists the trip was their
first.
Thunderbolt, too, proved an irresisti-
BILE attraction, and that resort had
many visitors. The audiences at the
Casino were large. Isle of Hope and
other resorts were also the destina-
lions of visitors who boarded the cars
that reach them.
