ou.snan-rurner Fight a Draw.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 3o.-In 20 rounds
OF the prettiest and fastest fighting ever
seen in Seattle, Rufe Turner could not
knock Perry Queenan out and as Perry
at no hop of the road had look-in to
knock Turner out, Referee Kane de-
ctded the bout a draw. with the usual
result, some maintaining that the black
boy was robbed of a decision and others
coutending that no other decision could
be rendered From the fifteenth round
until the close Perry's face looked like
a piece of beef well CHOPPED He looked
bad. but one can not tell from Queen
ans appearance just what his real con-
dition was. He was clearly outclaSseC
by Turner In cleverness- Queenan on
the other hand is a bulldog in the ring.
He has to be knocked out before he
knows be is licked He took four swift
3abs on the jaw in the sixteenth round,
coming 50 close together that they eoulo
hardly be counted, but aside from puff
ing out his cheeks q little more than
usual, he did not seem to mind it.

MISS X. B. WHITTLESEY.
Interesting Sketch of Well Known
Musician.

1t is somewhat remarkable that
quiet little woman closely engaged
within the four walls of a studio from
twelve to fourteen hours a day with no
opportunity whatever for mingling with
the outside world should yet be able to
draw to herself such an extended circle
Karolyn B. Whittlesey of this city, to
whom the tribute of a benefit concert
at the auditorium is to be rendered on
September s. For years at the College
of the Sisters of Bethany she built up
and maintained a standard of music so
high and superior that the most INTEL
ligent and cultivated musical people OF
this city and state know was invaluable
to the school For the past two years.
however, Miss WhittleSey has had her
where the little gray-haired woman has
bravely kept up her work from an in
valid's chair.
Miss whittlesey had the misfortune to
injure her knee in a fall on the pave
ment nearly two years ago, from which
she has suffered very greatly at var
ious times and been more or less Grip
pied ever since. requiring to be carried
up and down to the studio daily. Eight
weeks ago she was taken to Christ hos
pital to be operated on for appendicitis.
The operation was considered success
full but she was in such frail and over
worked condition previously that sue
cession of unfortunate hindrances to her
recovery have developed up to the pres
ent time, when she still lies Frustrated
and suffering at her cottage on Sixth
avenue, attended by a trained nurse.
The most profound and loving SYM
pathy has been awakened among her
friends and pupils, and it is certainly a
fitting thing that they should employ
her own beloved art-music-as the
means to bring her both substantial aid
and fuller assurance of their apprecia-
ton of her work and worth. Her own
well known generosity and enthusiasm
can scarcely be matched, but that her
unsefshness and devotion as a teacher
have been appreciated as highly as her
ability and culture this spontaneous CO.
operation of pupils and parents. singers,
artists and generous public surely
demonstrates. D. L. H

posed for the opening of Second and
Third streets, which the people in the

excessive.

to get the city council to set aside all
the proceedings and postpone the crea-

year. The people whose property was
condemned for opening the two streets
will be asked to withdraw their claims
for damages, and the council will then

Gov. Jeff Davis on Friday an nounced his intention of according recognition to the insurgent wing of the republican party in Arkansas in the matter of dividing time in joint discussions, also in the appointment of election commissioners. The gov ernor returned to Little Rock Friday morning from Benton county. He did not know that arrangements had been made and a list of appointments announced for joint discussions be- tween him and Hon. H. H. Myers, irregular" republican nominee for governor.
 In regard to the list of appoint ments made out by the state com- mittee and agreed upon by the re- publicans, he gave out the following interview: "Without any intention of criticising the action of our com- mittee, had never intended or ex- pected that anything but a joint can- vass between MT. Meyers, MT. Greaves and myself would take place. But if I had been personally consulted about the matter would have given MT. Greaves recognition in the mak- ing of appointments and allowed him to suggest dates and places as we'll as Mir. Myers, as I regard the insurgents as the stronger wing of the repub- lican party in Arkansas. Tn obedience to that opinion of mine, I sent this morning the following telegram to Ben M Foreman at Texarkana: I intend to stand for insurgent election commissioners. Have just seen Ga zette Was not consulted as to places of speaking. If I had been would have recognized Greaves, not Myers. Telegram not private.
