BLACK PEARL AT ENID
is AN IMPOSTER
Harris Martin, the Famous coIored Fight
err, is in ST. Paul.

The "Black Pearl" negro prize fighter,
who, according to the press dispatches
from Enid, o. T., narrowly escaped lynch
ing for the murder of another negro, is an
imposter.
Harris Martin, the only and original
BLACK PEARL has been in St. Paul for the
past two years, and is employed in this
city at the present time. The man I'M
der arrest at Enid Is, however, well post
ed as to the career Of the famous negro
fighter, for in his confession to the police
he described correctly in many details
the travels of the real Black Pearl"
The impOster made a mistake in saying
he fought Fitzsimmons in the West in
1891, for the real BLACK Pearl fought
four rounds with the Cornishman in Min
neapoliS in that year.

DRIVES FIVE MILES
WITH SEVERED ARM
Fast Trotter Saves the Life of Merry
Stock Breeder.

DANBURY, Conn, Feb. 25. - With
one hand and arm severed and left
lying in a farm building behind him
Hiram j. Stevens, a wealthy stock
breeder, had desperate flve-mile ride
against death today, and he owes his
life to his own courage and the speedy
trotting horse that brought him to this
city and to surgeon.
Stevens was experimenting work
on his farm, and when something went
wrong with feed cutter, operated by
horse power, he reached into the ma
chine and his coat sleeve was drawn
into the choppers. In an instant the
sharp knives severed his left arm be-
tween the wrist and elbow and the
hand and forearm dropped into the
feed bin.
The cut was clean, and Stevens real
lied that he would bleed to death I'M
less he could reach a surgeon quickly.
With marvellous nerve he directed his
men to make tourniquet out of a robe
halter and a stick and told them how
to twist it about the stump of his arm
to check the flow of blood
A fast horse was brought from the
stable and Stevens and his brother-in-
law, Frederick Jewel, a driver of trot-
ting horses, known on New England
tracks, started for the city, five miles
away. The rough tourniquet had only
partly stopped the hemorrhage, and
Stevens life depended upon the speed
of the horse. The five miles over
rough and frozen roads were covered
at three minute pace. People looked
In establishment after the buggy and
its occupants as they dashed through
the city.
Stevens was weak when he reached
the police station, where DR.. r. M,
English dressed his arm, but he rallied
after the operation and will recover.

HANLON HAS CHANCE TO
DEFEAT YOUNG CORBETT
Western Fighter Shows Strong and
May Win Battle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb 25. -
AS the featherweight title is involved
in the Young Capitalization fight, 1t
makes the bout Of more Importance to
the fight followers. The battle, how
ever, looks One-sided, according to the
expression of opinion on the coast, and
the sports here look for the champion
to have an easy victory.
1t is generally the unexpected which
happens in pugilism, however, and
Hanlon cannot be figured out of the
game by any means. Fight lovers usu-
ally support their men well, and the
reason Corbett is given such an edge
in their opinion comes, singularly
enough, from a fight in which Han
Ion figured and which actually boosted
Edie's stock in the East.
This was the draw Hanlon fought
with Abe Attell a while back When
reports Of this battle were spread in
the East Hanlon's stock took a jump.
Attell has shown sufficient form around
here to make it certain that any man
who can go a long route to a draw
with him is top-notcher. The Frisco
sports were so accustomed to seeing
Attell in preliminary fights, however,
before he was taken up by Jack Nc
Kenna, that they were probably inclin-
ed to underrate him. His style of
fighting, moreover, may not have
pleased the coast sports, and they
probably base their low estimate of
Hanlt n on this account.
From all appearances, if one is to
judge from a neutral standpoint, Han
Ion is going to put up a remarkably
good fight, and has a chance to win.
Corbett undoubtedly figures as the VIC
tor on form, but Hanlon cannot be
counted out Of it by any means until
the referee has performed this Office for
him.

Half the Citizens Have Lost Parts of
Body by Freezing.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 25.-Half the
citizens of Nome, Teller City, and 9TH
er far northern Alaskan gold towns
and camps are minus fingers, noses,
ears, toes feet and legs. This state
ment has been brought back from the
goldseekers' country by Henry J. Die
ter, who was one of the first to en-

The goldseekers have paid a high
price for the metal they have secured,
he says. They have been so frozen
and frostbitten that their heads and
trunks are about the only portions of
their bodies which have not been in
jured.
This prospector is of the opinion
that there is hardly one entirely able
bodied man in the entire far northern
country. After hearing Of his own ex-
periences, one does not wonder that
the country is filled with cripples.
The disasters of the winter of 1900
killed all his companions, who were
located with him north of Teller City.
Many were lost in the billiards., some
died of hunger and many others sue

Round.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 25.-At

first and third rounds, Maynard being
on his knees when the gong sounded
at the end Of the third.
The local man made his best show
ing in the second round, holding his
own in several exchanges. McGovern
never let up in his rushes, however.

TALE OF HAYES
SALOON RECALLED
Schlitz Brewing Company
Buys the Omaha
Property.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 25. - A
memory Of the late Eugene Field and a.
story he once told was revived by the
recent purchase by the Schiitz Brew.
Ing company, of this city, of property
In Omaha. The land in question is To-
Gated at the corner Of North. Sixteenth
and California streets in that city and
1t used to be pointed out as curiosity
on account Of the story Field told con-
corning 1t.
For some reason Field had conceived
a strong dislike for Rutherford B.
Hayes. He regarded Mr.. Hayes as a
political Pecksnif and this conviction
SO grew upon him with the lapse Of
time that from half-playful, half -con-
temptuous his references to him by
and by became downright ilI-natured
and scornful. The order Issued by Mr..
Hayes when he was president forbid
ding that wine should be served at the
White house during his administration
was regarded by Field as but another
evidence of his insincerity and hypoc-
r1sy and out of it grew the tale which
made the property at the corner Of
North Sixteenth and California streets
an object of interest
Field had heard that there was a
saloon property in Omaha out of which
Hayes derived part of his income. He
went to Omaha and took an artist with
him. He found that years before
Hayes had invested in Omaha real es-
tate. Among the holdings was a va
cant lot on North Sixteenth street.
This lot had been transferred to Mrs.
Hayes and then, through agents. Ieas-
n a n1
hoff, who built small frame building
on the property and opened a saloon
there.
1t leaked out that, finding out for
what purpose the property was being
used, Mr.. Hayes had been wont to
chaff his wife a good deal about it.,
telling her among other things that
the saloon was known in Omaha as
the Lucy Hayes saloon" This in
teresting bit Of gossip had come to
Fields ears.
A cousin of Mrs. Hayes residing in
Omaha and Osthoff himself gave Field
the particulars. By the exercise of a
little tact and diplomacy he contrived
to make the unsuspecting German say:
yah, yah, dis place is owned by Lucy
Hayes" and that the saloon had been
named after the. wife Of the former
president Of the United States.
A day or two later the tale of the
Lucy Hayes saloon" came out in the
Sharps and Flats column. 1t was not
accepted as gospel by those who knew
Field intimately and understood his
literary methods, but the great mass
of newspaper readers gathered from
the shrewdly worded and illustrated
tale the impression that Mrs. Hayes
owned q saloon in Omaha and that it
had been named after her.
President and Mrs. Hayes were
chagrined and Inundated when they
read the story and the detail with
which it was told made many of the
w. c. T. U. people Of the country be-
l1eve unwillingly that their foremost
apostles had been travelling under false
colors. Mrs. Hayes quickly sold the
Omaha property at a great sacrifice
and Osthoff secured it at a bargain.
Ever since the Lucy Hayes saloon"
has been show place in Omaha.

WEINHOLZER CASE
is WITH THE JURY
Indications Are That Trial
Will Result in a Dis
agreement.

The fate of Anton Weinholzer, pro-
prietor Of the Empire theater, Third
and Wabasha streets, is in the hands Of
a jury, which went out at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The jury, from
the start, Is said to have stood ten to
two for conviction, but at 2 o'clock
this morning the iurymen who were
holding out for acquittal had not been
won over, and 1t is believed a disa-
greement will result
The arguments Of counsel and the
instructions Of Judge Kelly to the jury
were made yesterday, the case going to
the jury shortly before 8 o'clock. At S
o'clock the jurors asked Judge Kelly

was cesspool Of iniquity and crime,
the resort of depraved women and more
degenerate men. It is a place where
crime against all that is good and de-
cent was daily and nightly perpetrated.
The man who runs a bawdy house is
an honest man compared with Vein
holzer, who was guilty of hiding the
damning, dangerous, criminal character
OF his place behind the title Of a re-
spectacle theater."
Attorney Stan Donnelly, for the de-
Tense, commended that Wetnholzer had
done nothing wrong, and that no Of
tense had been proven against him.
Mr.. Weinholzer, contended Mr.. Dom
nelly, was not to blame because evil
persons had sometimes gone into his
place of business.

DR.. HOSMER AND GREAT
SCOTS THINKING CAP
Amusing Experience of the Minneapo-
lis Historian in New York.

When DIR. James K. HOsmer, of Min
neapolis, who enjoys far more than a
local fame as a litterateur and lecturer,
removed his headgear in the cloak
room of an uptown club here in New
York the other night, the assembled
clubmen and their friends exchanges
knowing looks and side glances with
each other. The doctor was conven-
ttonally dressed as became an invited
guest who was to take part in a liter
airy reunion" and deliver an address
on some historical subject. STILL they
all "rubbered,"" and one whispered:
He's from the West all right-just get
onto that cap!"
DR.. Hosmer's erudition requires no
exploitation in thisstown. His reputa-
ton has extended even beyond New
York. His manners are no less digni-
fed than modest. But that cap-that
greenish- reddish yeHowish, fuzzy, plaid
cap-might have been of the West
Western, or from the wild, wild woods.
1t was very small cap, several de-
grees too small for the doctors schoI-
arly head. The visor of the cap f1ared
with an fnfantine frankness above the
Wearer'S serious face, his square-cut
beard. The tassledt tOpknot, nodding
carelessly as thel doctor entered the
club doors, completed a sartoriaI anti
climax. l. r.

DR.. Aosmer had just come from the
house of Andrew Carnegie up at East
Ninety-ninth street, where he called to
confer with the capitalist relative to
library matters. When he went up to
MIR. Carnegies study or office on the
second floor, DR.. Hosmer absent-mind-
edly carried with him his new silk hat
the latest block. Equally distract
upon retiring he left the hat behind
him, and did not think Of it until he
was being ushered through the street
door by a servant. Yes, the servant
would try to find the hat. He ran up
stairs, made prefunctory peek into
the private Office, and came back to
announce:

The News Of the Sport World.

ules met yesterday in the Auditorium
Annex. and after practically an all
day session, were not able to give out
the exact schedules. 1t is arranged
now as 1t will probably stand, but win
not be given out as final until after
the meeting in New York. This meet
ing will very likely be held next week,
and 1T is quite probable that the two
leagues win meet there at the same
time. The Nationals may hold theirs
first and are already making an eff
fort to hold it next Monday.
At the meeting yesterday 1t was de-
cided that the Nationals should open
the season on April Is. The Chicago
club will open with st. Louis, at ST.
Louis, as the weather is more likely
to be better than at Chicago. Pitts
burg will open at Cincinnati, and Bos-
ton at Philadelphia. The American
league will not open until April O..
The reason for the Nationals begin
nings sooner is that their circuit is
such that they will lose about five days
more than the Americans in long
jumps from their Eastern to their
Western cities.
Nothing definite could be learned
about the opening of the Americans in
New York city. It is an assured fact,
however, that they will not play on
the new grounds at the beginning Of
the season. 1t was int1mated that 1t
would be a month before a game would
be played in the metropolis. Without
doubt this is to allow plenty of time
to finish the new park. The schedule
will be SO arranged that the New York
club will play the opening games away
from home.
The White Sox will very likely play
the opening game in ST. Louis also,
which would be the next week after
the Nationals opened there.
Altogether the two leagues will play
a schedule of IA games each, and will
colse the season about the same time
which vii lbe about Sept. % or 28. The
Chicago Nationals and the White Sox
are to play a series of fifteen games,
three Of which will be played before
the season opens. They are sched-
uled for April II, IL, IA, which will be
on Saturday, Sunday and the follow
ing Tuesday. The remainder will be
played at the close of the season. The
idea is that the winner shall be the one
that first gets eight games.
