furtherance of religious activity in the
churches and in the colleges of Amer
lea. His successors in the work found
ed the summer Bible school
The plans for this summer are full
er than ever before and the list of
speakers, both foreign and American,
is unusually strong. An important fea-
ture of the summers work is the re-
sumption of the Mortified Young

ted last year. The season opens June

alone, when he fell as he was stepping
on the curbstone on st. Peter street.
He was unconscious when Mrs. Shaw,
who saw him fall, reached his side. He
was Immediately conveyed to the Cen
trail police station, where DR.. Humis-
ton attempted to revive him, but "The
Black Pearl was down for ever, and he
breathed his last without saying
word.
The Black Pearl" was dressed in a
light spring suit and seemed the picture
of health. His sudden taking off came
as thunder stroke from a clear sky
to his friends and companions. He left
Phil Reeds place in joking humor,
and had never complained of his
health.
DR.. A W. Miller, coroner, examined
the body shortly after death, and will
hold an autopsy this morning. The re-
mains were taken to the county
morgue.
'EThe Black Pearl" in his day was
a popular pugilist, and from 1887 till
1891 was ready to meet any fighter in
his class. Since 1891, however, he had
not been much in the ring. In 1899 he
measured his strength and skill with
out after a short fight.
Fitzsimmons Failed to Stop Him.
Among antagonists he met was Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons, with whom he fought
four rounds. Fitz was touring the
country, ready to stop any man in four
rounds, but the Pearl" was ready for
more when the time had expired.
Among other fighters he met Paddy
Norman, Dan Kelleher, Joe Filings
worth. Tom Snyder, Black Frank,
st. Paul fighter; Billy Murray and
Paddy German. Pearl was a match
for all till 1891, when he was knocked
out in the thirty-eighth round of his
battle with Ed Benny at San Fran
cisco. He then fought Charles Turner
nineteen rounds and was knocked out,
and later Joe King defeated him in
thirty-eight rounds. Since then "PearIn
has appeared but seldom in the pro-
fessional ring.
In his paimy days "The Black Pearl"
was clever fighter, and had the adj
vantage of being able to stand a vast
amount of punishment. He began his
professional career in 1897 when he
attracted the attention of Charles Had
ley, a Minneapolis fight promoter, who
recognized the ability of the Pearl"
and pushed him to the front During
his professional career he fought a
string Of battles that would number
into the hundreds. For some time he
was champion colored middleweight of
the world. It was while he held this
honor that he fought four rounds with
Fitzsimmons.
BLACK PEARL was a Minneapolis boy,
but since going into the ring he has
been in many parts of the United
States. In 1899 he came to st. Paul
from Seattle, where he resided for sew
eral years after leaving the ring. He
has lived in st. Paul since 1899. A
brother Of his, William, lives at Sc
attic.

DEPLOREs SMOKING,
SWEARING AND DRINKING
DR.. w. II. w. Boyle Laments the Prev
aIence of the Three Habits.

Rev. DR.. w. H. w. Boyle, at the
House of Hope church last night, took
as the subject of his discourse, Three
Modern TrapdOOrs to Ruin" and point
ed out the fact that of all the agencies
at work today tending to the ruin Of
young men the greatest are Profanity.
Tobacco Morphia and the Drink Hab-
it's One of the most striking features
of the discourse was the epigrammatic
form in which it was delivered. DR.,
Boyle said in part:
ITO swear is not wise, nor genteeI,
nor effective, and it is time that some
thing were done to bring men to see
it's utter uselessness.
ITO our shame be it that Americans
are known as a swearing nation; and
1t is said that out Of very seven men.
four use profanity to emphasize their
speech. Even novelists mar the pages
of their books with blasphemy and on
the stage it is common. The public
seems Indifferent to it, and even the
pulpit appears to tolerate it. To such
an extent has this Indifference to
blasphemy gone that some time ago the
patent office in Washington received a.
request for patent on the name of
a mine in Colorado to be called THE
Jesus Christ Mine
The statistics show an alarming
state OF affairs among boys in regard
to the cigarette habit. The percentage
is appalling. And in this city of St.
Paul there is a large percentage of
the dealers in cigarettes who sell to
minors knowing what they are doing. {"
The speaker then went on to show
the condition of affairs in regard to
the liquor evil. He spoke with some
irony in telling of "a league among the
st. Paul liquor dealers by which they
required their bartenders to abstain
from drinking"
DR.. Boyle announced that next Sun
day he will preach upon a subject to
be chosen by the congregation. Through
the week each person is to inform him
IN some way Of his or her fayorite
hymn. The hymn mentioned the great
est number of times will constitute
the subject of the discourse. Music
will be arranged from the three hymns
mentioned the greatest number of
times and sung at the service.

their part.

Como Park the Mecca.
AT Como Park the walks and resting
places were flashing with garish spots
OF vivid dresses and costumes The
glad shouts of children were heard
mingled with the reproving remarks
OF their elders. Though the summers
green Of the trees is yet wrapped in
pudding infancy" the lawns are like
velvet and the sight of the grass was
exceedingly restful to eyes, tired of
the dirty pavements, the red brick
walls and all the strenuous life of the
city. Very soon the flower beds and
blooming shrubs at the suburban parks
will be afiame, and when the keepers
at Como said that very soon they would
be placing the goldfish in the lily pond,
the winter seemed very far behind, in
deed. q
Another infallible sign Of settled
weather is the appearance of ''the man

ment in front of his wheel was in evil
dence along the more secluded streets.

Signs Of Activity Noted
Among Members of st. Paul
Yacht Club.

While summer alone is recognized as
the boating season, the development of
spring has inspired the yachtsmen of
the st. Paul club to at least prepara-
tory activity and some of them have
even gone so far as to make short trips
on the river.
Quite a number of the pleasure
launches which have for some years
past given such a festive and busy
appearance to the Mississippi in this
vicinity have already been placed in
the water, and the present season
promises to be the most active thus far
in the history of the club, in which
the owners of these craft are asso-
ciated.
David WallblOm was the first men,
Der of the club to take his boat above
the Wabasha street bridge this year,
and he gained that distinction by risk
ing the trip while the ice was still in
the river. Even at that Mr.. WalIblom
was only one day ahead of Henry
Orme, who took even greater chances
by going to Shakopee, and by reason
of his daring cruise won a case Of
champagne, which had been offered by
a resident of that city to the first st.
Paul yachtsman who should make the
trip.
Quite a number of the owners Of
yachts have had their boats placed in
the water, and have used them more
or less but yesterday there was not
much appearance of anything doing in
that line. A number of the small craft
were to be seen in the course of the
afternoon cruising back and forth, and
although the weather was by no means
what might be called balmy, those in
the boats appeared to be enjoying
themselves.
One of the first boats into the water
this spring was that owned by J. D.
O'Brien, who has been a most enthusi-
astic yachtsman for several years. The
Janitto, owned by D. Janitto, is a new
boat of the thirty-foot class, which
was launched Friday at the foot of
State street. The boat, formerly owned
by Mr.. Gedney, and recently sold to
George G. Wright has been oVerhauled
and is now in the water ready for serv-
ice.
Rudolph Schiffmanns fifty four-foot
sternwheel cruiser is being fitted with
a new gasoline engine and will soon be
ready for use. Fred Schiffman's stern
wheeler is at Lake City being equipped
with a steam engine
With the exception of those mention
ed most of the craft of the club are
still in winter quarters at the foot of
State street or on Raspberry island,
but every day adds to the number of
those to make their appearance.
1t is expected that the number of
boats in the club fleet will be greatly
increased this season and more than
twenty new ones have already been
heard from.
The club is planning extensive addi-
tions to the docks on the river bank
just below the Robert street bridge.
The annual parade and cruise of the
club will take place this year June 81,
and arrangements are being made to
make it a most attractive affair.
