SEATTLE. April 5.-From college
classes to burglary was the step
taken by Alexander H. Gardner. for
merly of the University Of Washing
ton, now convict In Walla Walla.
In q. N. Adams, who tried to rob
Police Sergeant Mike Powers house
and was captured by that officer. with
a big revolver and slungshot in his
pockets. Garfield McGlinn, chief clerk
at the state penitentiary. recognized
q former schoolmate. McGlinn was
booking the new convict at the time.
Gardner was in the University Of
Washington last year and the year
athlete. and played on the second
eleven of that institution. He for
sock text books and pigskin for a
Jimmy and dark lantern last summer.
Since then he has been professional
crook and has done much work.

Gardner, the student, and Adams.
the burglar, we're the same man in
every sense of the word. There was
no sudden fall from honesty. The
young man who went into the classes
with his fellows and battled with
them canvas-clad on the gridiron was
a thief. In class room or gymnasium
he was continually concealing some
crime. He got the hunted look of a
criminal, for the authorities were
working hard to find the man respon-
eible for number Of petty thefts in
cloakrooms and lockers. Finally the
matter was traced down to him and
he was told to leave the institution.
It was all done quietly. and some time
elapsed before 1t became known
among a few of his fellow students
why Gardner had been expelled.
That was about a year ago. Nc
Glinn had left the Institution. But
he left 1t with a sheepskin In his
hand and with the good wishes Of
both faculty and students.
Gardner disappeared. Those who
had known him thought ne had gone
back to his home near North Bend.
He did not, He dropped into the un-

ouent the streets only in the night
time His new companions lived in
saloons and brothels. He was as
much out Of the world to his college
mates as though he had gone to an
other sphere. He was Gardner no
longer, but G. N. Adams, burglar.
Got the Wrong Man.
One afternoon Burglar Adams was
out on the hill and saw a prosperous
looking residence. He knocked at the
door No one answered. He fitted a
skeleton key and entered. A revolver
muzzle swung In his face. Sergeant
Powers, who lives In the house and
sleeps daytimes, had been awakened
by the barking of his dog: had seen
the man at the door and had FASTENED
to the place with his weapon.
Adams never confessed who he
really WAS. He pleaded guilty and
kept his mouth tightly closed, while
Superior Judge Taliman gave him 10
years. He never said word on the
subject of his identity until he was
taken to the penitentiary by Deputy
Sheriff Mcleod. Then he confided to
the officer his real name and the ad-
dress of his parents.

Scientific Bouts.

UP the toughest bout of the evening.
Both were scientific and used all the

ing was fine and his right wallop

/ This Kid Has Double x Goods.
A birch bark colored boy called
kid" Martini met the surprise of his
life in raw white kid named Charles
Grace "Chawlie" pastes his hair
from the middle down over each ear,
and it's as long as Paderewskis.
Grace sent the coiored boy to his
launches twice in the first round and
generally surprised the sports. who
thought he would be easy going for
the trim-built darby. The white kid
went to the floor from the first punch
delivered by Martini in the second
round and then followed some hot
work. In the third the white boy
covered up and let the colored chap
tire himself, then let fly with a right
poke that sent Martini to the floor
once more and made him see a whole
ring full of stars and comets. In the
fourth Grace put Martini to the cam
vas again with a right soak to the
chops. He got the decision.

"The Rat" Well Named.
The next bout was the funniest
ever. A little midget of a colored lad
named '"rhe Rat" was put against a
big black burly named Harvey Will

An exhibition of science was given
by Jimmy Hayward of New York and
Jolly Rogers of Salt Lake. This bout
was action. action. and then some
more of the same. Both men are

which forced Jolly to clinch. Jolly
used his left jab effectively. and both
the boys made good impressions.

GOOD
BOXING
SEVERAL FAST MATCHES AT
OLYMPIC CLUB LAST MIoHT-
LARGE CROWD OF SPORTS
TURN OUT.
(By Jimmy Cullins.)

People OF this section of the coun-

scraps, on vacant lots and In the ring,
but for real hot work the admirers
of the boxing game saw some of the

some rapid exchanges Patterson, on

surprised his opponent by rushing
him right from the first tap OF the
gong and continuing these tactics for
the space OF a few seconds. when both

Gladstone's Strength OF Will.

A remarkable illustration of Glad
stones strength of will is given in Mr..
Justin McCarthy's More Memories of
Gladstone" contributed to Louis
Wain's Annual for 1903.
1t was just after Gladstone's opera
ton for cataract. The doctor told him
that his eyes must be kept closely BAN
Gased for some time, in order to pre-
vent the admission Of light in the deli
cate organs. Gladstone asked why a
man could not close his eyes, and keep
them closed for any period of time, If
such q course were necessary for their
restoration to healthful condition. He
was told that it was not likely any
man could have the nerve and the
strength of mind to keep his eyes firm
ly closed for long hours after hours,
without q chance of his forgetting for
q moment the obligation that was on
him, Or yielding to the mental tempta-
ton to test his sight. Gladstone. how
ever, assured the medical man that be
could keep his eyes closed as long as
it might be necessary, and that he did
not like the idea Of having to submit
to the bandagirg process. So he was
allowed to have his way, and during
all the required time he kept his eyes
firmly closed, and only opened them
when assured by the proper authority
that the darkeniDg injunction had been
removed.
This was in its peculiar way another
Illustration of that strength of will,
guided by conscience, which Gladstone
had shown at so many great crisis in
his life.-Scottish Anlericano

The Largest Grapevine.

The largest grapevine in the world is
growing in the CarDinteria valley,
twelve miles east of Santa Barbara,
Cal.> and is called La Para Grande. 1t
was started from cutting sixy-one
years ago by a young Spanish woman,
Donna Ayla. 1t is eight feet four in
ches in circumference at its base, and
one of the horizontal branches meas
rres more than three feet in circum-
ference. The trelliS covers about Il
third of an acre, and heavy posts sup
port it. The vine produces as many
as 5000 punches annually, at conser-
yative estimate, and in good years
many clusters measure twelve or nj
teen inches in length and weigh SIX to
eight pounds.-Kansas City Journal.

PRAYED FOR ROOSEVELT.
Unique Proceeding in the African
Methodist Conference at Opening
Session at Chicago.

A prayer that President Roosevelt
might be returned to the white
house caused an unusual demonstra-
tion at Chicago, Monday, says a dis
patch from that city, during the open
ing exercises of the twenty-second
quadrennial conference of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church.
Shouts of BLESS him, O God! Eyes,
yes." and amen, amen!" greeted the
words of Bishop W. J. Gaines, OF
Georgia when he invoked the bless
ing of Gcd on the president of the
United States, "who had had the man
hood and courage to stand up and do
his duty at all times to men Of every
color and creed in spite of bitter crrt-
icism."
"If consistent with Thy will, o God,
when his term of Office expires con-
tinued the speaker, "send him back
to the white house to serve another
four years"
The utterance OF this sentiment was
the occasion of deafening shouts by
the assembled delegates.
Delegates from Africa were a cen.
ter of interest at the conference. These
delegates, fourteen in number, are
from the Transvaal, South Africa, and
west coast Of Africa. With two ex.
ceptions they are natives of the Sec
tions of Africa which they represent
in the conference. A formal program,
including march OF the bishops and
delegates, preceded the organization
of the conference.

TYNER TRIAL BEGINS.
Aoed Former Postmaster General Ar.
raignsd at Washington Under
Charge of Conspiracy.

The second of the postofice cases to
be taken up at Washington was be-
gun Monday, when James N. Tyner
and Harrison J. Barrett were placed
on trial under an indictment charging
them with conspiracy to defraud the
government in connection with their
alleged failure to prosecute certain In
vestment companies operating in VIC
lation of law. For several years Tyner
who was postmaster general in
Grants cabinet-held the Office OF as
sistant attorney general for the post
office department, while Barrett-who
is his naphew-served in the same
Office as law clerk
The work of securing jury had be-
gun when the discovery was made
that neither defendants had been ar
raigned. Mr.. Barrett was in court, but
the venerable postmaster general, now
in his seventy-sixth year, was not
present, his counsel having waived all
formalities until the jury had been
completed in order to save his
strength. Owing to the feeble health
of General Tyner it was announced
that it would take several hours to get
him into court. Justice Pritchard
thereupon directed a recess.
When court met for the afternoon
session General Tyner was brought in
in an invalid chair. He was accom-
panied by his wife, an attendant and
his physician, the latter's presence be-
ing deemed necessary because of the
fear that the aged defendant might
ccllpase under the strain.
Counsel for the defense waived the
reading of the indictment and the
two men pleaded not guilty. The
work of completing the jury then was
resumed. With three challenges left
to each side. the panel was exhausted
and court adjourned until Tuesday.
Justice Pr:;tchard, after conferring
with counsel, announced that owing to
the infirm condition of General Ty-
ner, he would not be further required
to attend court and that the trial
would proceed without him.
