DEATH WATCH OF THE SEWER
Man Stationed at Manho1e to Pre- vent sufRocation of Under
 ground Workers.

What are you doing idling while your fellows do all the work?" asked the lawyer from the stock exchange building to the underground cable workman. The electrician was sit ting on tool box beside manhole at Washington and La Sale streets. relates a writer in the Chicago Rec ord-H Herald, when the lawyer inter rupted him. He looked up, and then with faint smile, said:
 "I am the death watch
 Explain yourself. do not under stand you"
 Well, these men in the hole are constantly in danger from suffoca- tion from sewer gas. If I were in the hole I would run the same chances as they do. For their safety I sit here in open air. I am not in range of the gases. If one of them is over come I get busy, haul him into open air anG call doctor. Seer"
 The lawyer 'saw" and went about his business, admitting to himself that there were tricks in all trades, and this was one of the dangers that beset conduit men that he had never thought of.

DEMAND FOR HoRsEsHoEs. Trade in Equine Footgear Not Af- fected by Introduction of the
 Automobile.

''How about horseshoes?' ? was asked of a dealer in iron and steel supplies, in cluding horseshoes, by New York Sun man. Has the increased use of auto mobiles lessened the demand for horse shoes?''
 No, it hasn't" was the reply. we are selling as many shoes as ever. It was thought when the trolley car was in- troduced that something was going to happen, but the trolley cars came in so gradually that their introduction had no effect on the horseshoe trade, and it is so with the auto. Horses yet re- main in general use and the demand for horseshoes still continues" There are IA concerns in the United States manu- featuring horseshoeg. Their annual out put is somewhere about 100000 kegs of 100 pounds each.

THE PUGILISTS.
SIX ROUND
 BATTLE
Jack McClelIand Had the Better of George Decker By Forcing Matters in Last Round.

Philadelphia, Aug 13.-By forcing the lighting in the last round, Jack McClelland of Pittsburg bested George Decker of this city in the wind-up at the Manhattan Athletic club last night.
 For the first five rounds neither man showed disposition to exert himself, with the result that the fight Jagged and the crowd grew impatient. Decker contented himself with jab- ping his left frequently to McClel- lands jaw. The Pittsburger offset this by getting home several hard body blows, which made Decker wary.
 There was no b1uising, and both men emerged without mark.
 In the first round they hddled for an opening Decker jabbed his left to the face and received in return a right to the heart There was much dancing and little hitting.
 Early in the second round McClel- land cut loose with a series of swings that drove Decker across the ring and finally sent him to the floor, where he took the count. This made Decker especially wary, and he did not yen- ture to exchange punches with the Westerner.
 The fight Jagged until the last round From the tap of the bell in this round McClelland's fast fighting carried the local boy off his feet. Sev. eraI times he drove him against the ropes and had him breaking ground continually. At the finish Decker was tired man, while McClelland was still fresh

HUNTING THE SEA OTTER.
Determination of This Beautiful Fun Bearing Animal Rapidly Be-
 ing Accomplished.

The demands of fashion and of spor, and the innate love of destruction threaten the extermination of the beautiful sea otter. Many years before the settlement of California by the Americans, Russian fur traders had trading and hunting posts along the coasts of upper and lower California for the purpose of securing the belts oj these animals
 The enormous beds of keIp found along the shores were adapted to the habits Of this otter. which fed on the sea urchins and shellflsh abounding ir these sea meadows In early times says the New York Sun, otter were plentiful on sthe coasts of California Oregon, Queen Charlotte and Vancou. yer islands and the south coast of Alas ka, and they were especially abundant throughout the Aleutian and Kurile islands.
 In the last quarter of century there has been a great scarcity of these beau, tiful skins, which have come only from single point off the coast of Washing. ton and from the islands to the south of Behring sea.
 Tn hunting the otter the natives oi these northern islands employ frall skin canoes. called bidaFkas, somewhat resembling the kayaks of the Esqui- maux. The natives of the Aleutians aud the Kuriles are very expert with the spear, which Sa thrown with a hand board. A number oR bidarkas, with two men in each, go in company, and when the game is sighted the canoes form in a half circle behind the otter and all the hunters who are near enough throw spear. Then the otter dives. but as the movements of the ami nal are slow the light skin canoes oi the hunters can easily overtake it.
 The otter often doubles and comes up behind the hunters, when the canoes again form and the hunters throw their spears whenever the animal rises to the surface to breathe.
 Kept under water so much the otter becomes exhausted and stays longer and longer on the surface, and the hunters are able to approach nearer until the victim is struck with a dart when it's doom is sealed.

They seldom go to land; ia fact never except during severe storms when they sometimes take refuge on outlying rocks and reefs in the ocean Unlike the seal they do not bear their young upon the land, but give birth to them at sea The pup is taken upon the breast of it's mother, who floats lightly upon her back as a favorite position.
 When frightened, the mother takes the pup in her mouth and disappears; and even when the offspring is only a few days old, she will remain with il below the surface fully 15z minutes without rising.

PERFUMERs PROSPEROUS.
Heavy Sale of Fragrant Waters Be- heved by Dealer to Be Due
 to Auto Craze.

'"The perfumery business never was better" said the perfume dealer to a New York Sun man the other day. sI sell more perfume than ever did before and think my heavy sales are due in a large part to the automobile craze.
 You know the odor emanating from those gasoline autos is not pleasant. Lovely woman does her best to overcome it by using lots of perfume. Just take notice the next time an auto whizzes by you and see if you don't get a good strong whiff of perfume with the gaso- line if there is smartly attired woman in the machine. Women may be going in for athletics more than ever, but they are going in for perfumes too, and the most expensive kind. It would surprise you, though, to know how many men have the perfumery habit as well. I think the new fancy silk handkerchiefs may have something to do with that"

No one would ever have thought of com pairing these two men if Wagner had not struck bad streak in the worlds championship series, where Parent outplayed him. But one series can- not blot out the work of several years.
