FIGHT IN Court Room. Former
Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith and
Attorney d. w. Rountrec engaged in
vicious fight in the United States court
room, in Atlanta, Ga, late yesterday.
Smith and Rountree are opposing coun-
sci in case on trial before Judge New
man. Smith made a statement that
Rountree construed into a reflection on
himself, and Immediately Rountree
sprang at Smith and struck him in the
face. Smith rctaiated, and for several
minutes they dealt blows, drew blood,
and left bruises. The court officials
tried in vain to separate the infurioted
men. Finally, Smith, who is power
iul man physically, clinched with Roun-
tree, lifted him from his feet, and hurl-
ed him against a radiator some ten feet
away. The shock partly stunned Roun-
tree and Smith did not renew his attack.
The faces of both men aie badly battered.
Friends have taken the matter in hand
and will try to prevent a renewal OF the
difficulty. Witnesses say the fight was
one of the most vicious they ever wit
messed. Both men are Of powerful
physique, and they stood squarely facing
each other, dealing rights and leits with
the regularity of clockwork, until smith
finally clinched and threw Rountree
against the radiator. Rountree was the
more badly punished of the two, though
Smiths face bears marks of the fight.
When the fight closed both men werC.
very bloody, and blood was scattered
about the court room. Judge Newman
who is one-armed, rushed from the
bench and vainly tried to separate th'
| men

FITZsIMMONs WINS.

Bobert Fitzsimmons, the pugilist
proved in San Francisco last nigth
that he IS not "dead one" when be
outboxed and outgeneraled George Gard
ner for twenty full rounds Fitz was as
awkward and as cunning as Of yore. and,
appsr rently realizing that be must foster
his strength, there was not a moment
when he was not careiulness personihed.
While the old man could avoid punish~
ment from Gardner, he could not knock
his opponent out, although he landed a
number of vicious blows. From his
performance last night, Gardner is not
in Fitzsimmons' class. lie landed ON
the old timer once in while, but Fitz
was always going away from him, and
the blows were harmless Several times
Fitz apparently had Gardner almost out,
but be was either too tired or lacked his
old strength, and could not landa knock
out punch. gitzsimmons was very skill
ful in blocking and dodging Gardner S
blows. and in the clinchos and break
aways was very careful. The fight did
not please the spectators, and The men
in the ring were frequently Kissed when
they went through round without aP-
parently trying to fight.
Referee Eddie Graney, at the close OF
the contest, said that it was the worst
fght he ever saw. He was forced 70
give the decision 70 Fitz because The
latter secured the knOckdowus, but
otherwise did no damage. 1t was ap-
parent that neither man was qualified to
claim championship honors.
After the fight Fitz appeared to be
elated over his victory and claimed
that the reason he did not knock Gardner
out was that be broke the knuckles OF
both hands early in the contest, 1t was
either i,r his reason 0r 5c1ausc u
chose to act mainly on the defensive that
the fight was not finished long before the
twentieth round was over.
Gardner's eye was cut open and his
nose knocked askew, while Fitz bled a
little at the mouth. Beyond that there
was no damage done to either man.
Gardner demonstrated that he lid not
have hard punch in him. Whenever
he landed swing it had no force in 1t,
and his left iabs had no other effect than
to make Fits nose and mouth bit red.
Fitz stood several times with his guard
open and allowed Gardner to poke him
in the nose, so Fitz could step in and
land shortarm jolts.
There were occasional flashes when
the Fitzsimmons of olden times appeared
for a moment. But it was for moment.
He seemed to tire quickly, and after q
short vicious rush during which he would
land on Gardner and take the grit out oI
him he would rest during the remainder
of the round.

The sort service was followed by
an excellent dinner, and the richly
dressed men and women, full OF
eager questions and innocent mirth,
filled the Swaffham parlors. and made
fair picture of hospitality sobered
by great interests and great events.
Some of the guests fingered for two

not be delayed. The next morning
he enrolled sixty men and then he was
resolved to ride with them as far
as York. And If Neville comes, send
him quickly after me-" he said. He
thought he might be four days. but
will give him seven. and then wonder
If he keeps tryst. There will be many
things in London to delay him"
In fact, Neville was so long delayed,
that Mrs. Swaffham was certain he
had been sent back to Scotland at
once on Mrs. Cromwell's order. and
that he would probably be with the
Lord General before DR.. Verify. After
a week or more had passed, all ex-
pectation of his visit died out, and
Jane began to wonder why Matilda

En- Enormous Expense.

The expense of tuberculosis to the
people OF the United States, after
careful estimation by DR.. Biggs of
New York, is placed at $500. 000, 900
SAYS the American Medicine. He first
calculates the loss to New York city
by putting value of 81 500 upon each
life at the average age at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur. This
gives a total value of the lives lost
annually of sl,5O0,000. But this is
not all. for at least nine months prior
to death these patients cannot work.
and the loss of service at 81 a day
together with food. nursing, medi-
cines. attendance, etc, at s1.50 a day.
results in further loss of $S,000,000.
making a yearly loss to the munich.
patty of S23,00O000. From the
whole country the 10000 deaths
from tuberculosis represent in the
same way loss Of $3.50 100000. DR..
Biggs also says that the total expen-
diture in the city OF New York in the
care of tuberculosis patients Is not
over 100000 a year, I. e.. not to ex-
coed per cent Of the actual loss by
death, etc. IF this annual expendi.
ture were doubled or trebled. 1t would
mean a saving OF several thousand
lives annually. to say nothing of the
enormous saving in suffering Fur
Their evidence Of this is shown In the
fact that in the last twenty years the
total deaths from tuberculosis in New
York have been decreased instead OF
increased, Notwithstanding that there
has been an increase OF 20 per cent
in the general population.
