You told me that last week." said
the Judge. and nothing more was said.

Knight later and asked him if he
recoIlected a conversation they had
about two weeks ago, when Byington

CHAMPION TO BEGIN WORK
Amateur Prizefight Promoters
Hold Meeting and Effect
a Temporary Organization

Dave Sullivan, the Eastern feather
weight. who is matched to fight Young
Corbett in this city on the last day Of
the present month, did not arrive last
night, as was expected. The train on
which the pugilist is speeding this
way was delayed several hours last
night, so Sullivan will not reach this
city until o'clock this morning.
Sullivan will go into training as soon
as he arrives, in order to be in condi-
ton for his match with the champion.
He IS heralded as a whirlwind boxer
and has met some of the best men In
his class during the last few years
Sullivan has never been in this city
and consequently the eyes of the
sporting men here are turned on him
and every one is anxious 10 see the
little fellow in action. He has never
met Corbett and the battle should
prove an interesting one while it
lasts.
Meanwhile Corbett is not losing any
time. He will repair to Mike Shee-
hans Ocean Beach Tavern this morn
ing to get into condition for the COM
ing battle. He will be accompanied
by his manager. George Weeden, and
will have as trainer and sparring
partner Tim McGrath and Billy Otis.
AL NeiH and the Dixie Kid" are in
readiness for their fifteen-round battle
at Deitz's Opera-hOuse. Oakland to-
night Both men are trained TO the
hour and the followers of the game ex-
pect to see a great battle when the tive
welterweights meet in the ring.
The betting last night was even
money, though no large wagers were
made.
The promoters Of the various amateur
fight clubs held meeting last night
at the Hayes Valley Club rooms and
effected a temporary organization for
the control of the amateur fighting
game in this city and Oakland. E j.
Kaplin was elected temporary presi-
dent Of the new association.
Another meeting will be called within
the next few days and bylaws will be
adopted and the organization estab-
/ lished on a firm basis. Only the Bay
| City, Lincoln and Hayes Valley clubs
were represented at the meeting last
night, but the other three. the San

THE OLDEST INDIAN PIPES.
They Show an Artistic Tendency
Which Has Proved Real Sur
prise to Ethnologists.

The question as to the earliest usage
OF tobacco yet awaits solution. Chi
nese and japanese annals will have to
be considered. Once more the ques-
ton arises, Did tobacco originate in
the east or in the west, and was smok-
ing transmitted from one continent to
the other? " -e
II This much is. positive, that in 1892
an expedition sent by Columbus to, ex-
plore Cuba found the natives smoking
tobacco. The use of the leaves Of the
Nicotiana was common Throughout.
both. North and South America. One
curious instance Of the presence of the
cigar is to be noted in an old Peruvian
stone picture. It represents Peruvian
god smoking cigar of enormous size.
the cigar being about half the length
of the figure.
A matter of much interest is the one
of tobacco pipes, as used by North
American Indians long prior to the
discovery. This particular subject is
treated at some length in the twenti-
eth annual report of the bureau OF
American ethnology. recently issued.
The generally accepted idea of the In
dian pipe follows the forms of those
cut from catlinite, fine-grained and
easily worked stone Of a rich red
color, found west of the Big Stone lake
in Dakota. These red stone pipes are
often seen in collections, and they fol-
low about this shape and are rarely
ornamented: Z

It doesn't make anybody sick at the
stomach, and no well-regu1ated head
would ache on account of it. and the
man who would get profane, and talk
about woodchucks, and polecats, and
water rats, in connection with the
smell of musk, ought to be condemned
to ride second-class forever, between q
fat woman carrying home-smoked her
ring, and a colored nursegirl with a
baby that smells of sour milk.
AT church, musk is delightful. 1t Is
the very "odor of sanctity." The cler-
gyman can preach better for it, and the
bald-headed deacon and the long-nosed
sexton can sleep better and snore loud
er with it odorous fumes waited to
their nostrils with every gentle wave
Of your pocket handkerchief.
People who do not like 1t are Ill
bred. It is the perfume Of the rich
Empress Josephine was fond OF it, and
we don't know whether that fact had
anything to do with Napoleon's getting
divorced from her or not.
Scent yourself literally. Don't be
afraid. Don't be stingy. Make your
self smell in the world, If you cannot
make yourself distinguished.
1t is a land of freedom, this is! Ev-
erybody has right to smell as he
chooses, and if everybody else does not
like the odor, why he can plug his
nose.-N. Y. Weekly.

EVERYBODY HAS TROUBLES.
So Don't for a Single Minute Think
Your Lot Is Harder Than That
Of Anyone Else.

y il
Don't think VIXEN the clouds Of ad.
versity hang heavily over you thai
| your lot is harder than that Of every
one else. Things are pretty evenly
divided in this world, and no matter
low bad the trouble is, bear in mind
| the fact that it might be worse.
No one goes through life without his
share Of sorrow Some fortunate peo-
| pie are able to throw it off and rise
again buoyant and hopeful; others are
conquered by their troubles and never
rise above them. e
Don't assume that the man or WON
an with the CHEEKY face and manner
have never known grief. Their sor-
rows, says the Chicago American, may
have exceeded yours tenfold, but the.
have simply made up their minds to
make the best of things and present 9
brave face.
There is enough sorrow in the world
without adding to it by going around
with long drawn face and whining
manner. With the responsibilities OF
and trials; we cannot escape them. be-
cause we cannot live and love without
sometimes seeing the reverse side OF
the shield.
But we need not meet trouble half
way, and we need not succumb to the
little worries, f& if we do we have no
strength left to fight the big ones when
they come.
Nearly every cloud has silver lin
Ing if we only look hard enough to find
1t. and it is well to remember that
sometimes the very thing that brings
sorrow to us brings joy to some one
else.
It is great mistake to expect too
much sympathy from our friends. Up
to a certain point they will sympathize
and listen patiently to our tale of woe;
but too much woe tires even the most
ready sympathizer, and if. we always
carry sad face We will find we are
left much to ourselves.
Nothing commands so much respect
and sympathy as trouble bravely borne.
A s. lie makes more friends than a
whine and hopeful nature is a great
blessing.
Things are always at their very
darkest just before a turning point.
Let us learn to take the bitter with the
sweet, 70 make the best of our woes
for th6sake of our joys.
Unto each life some rain must fall"
but some of the showers are only sun
showers after all, and let us take
refugesunder the umbrella of hope and
watch for the rainbow that is shining
brightly across the dark clouds.

SHE MADE IT A CERTAINTY.
Arranged Things So That Her Woosc
Should Not Open the Wrong
Drawer.

With gesture expressive Of firm res
olutioh, as ii the affair was quite settled,
Countess Madeline pointed to her
| lacquered Japanese cabinet that SHIN
| nered in the lamplight, and said, very
gravely:
Open one of those three drawers, VAL
entine. and be sure that you choose the
right one. Each drawer contains an
answer to the prayer which you have
addressed to me for the past six
months. II you open that which con-
tains the answer Yes will be yours,
and will marry you aas soon as you
please. But take care that you do not
get the wrong answer, for if you do you
will never see mesagafn.''s - . 10 -5e~
"Alas!" said Valentine, there are
two chances to one against me. How
cruel you are, my darling!"
Well" said the countess, eff marry
you ! can at least lay the blame on
Fate" ss.s.s
The young man hesitated a fong time,
relates London Tit-Bits. His hand
wandered from drawer to drawer, not
venturing to touch any, and his heart
sank with the fear of choosing wrongly.
At last he shut his eyes and opened a
drawer at hazard.
Oh, rapture! the little piece of pink
paper, when unfOlded, disclosed to his
CAD eyes the exquisite word yes" In
ecstasy he clasped blushing Madeline in
his arms and covered her face with
kisses. She could not deny him now
without disgraceful violation of her
promise. But Madeline was an upright
person, who always kept her word and
so he was soon able to call her his wife,
Still, even amid the raptures of the
honeymoon Valentine was not entirely
happy At times gloomy expression
appeared on his brow and in his eyes.
'fUngrateful mani" sighed Madeline,
'you are not yet satisfied What is the
matter?"
Il am troubled about something"
About what?"
II owe my wife to chance, not to her
own inclination"
He remained pensive for time, while
she looked smilingly at him. Suddenly
she broke into merry laugh.
Stupid mani" she cried. Don't you
see that put the same answer in all
three, drawers?"

graphing and Tslephoning
ON the Game Wire.

"A new system for simultaneous teie.
graphing and telephoning on the same
wire is at present being discussed In
the Italian technical press. The sys-
tenn. says the Scientific American, mas
been tested with most satisfactory re-
suits on the Rome-Venice telegraph
line. but no particulars as to the prln-
ciples it is based upon had SO iar been
forthcoming. Now, in the May issue
Of the Elettriciata, Prof. A. BanE gives
short description Of the apparatus
devised by Pref. Bruno and Slgnor
Turchi. The problem the two tnven-
tors had to solve may be stated as fol-
lows: Two alternate currents OF diEer-
ent frequencies' traversing one same
current, being given, to eliminate tho
effect of either Of them.
In the present case, we have the tele-
phone current and an induced current
due to the telegraph current, both ex-
hibitiug an alternate character, but
each being of different frequency, the
effect of the induced current being the
one to be annihilated.
In order to show now II Is possible
to attain this, the author considers
closed circuit, certain section OF
which is divided into two branches OF
equal ohmic resistance, forming diff
ferential coil wound on a weak iron
core. Assuming that the two dineren-
tial branches have different imped-
ances, it will be understood that with q
current of given frequency it is posi-
BILE to regulate the two impedances, so
as to have in the core resultant flux
equal to zero. If, therefore, two cur
rents of frequencies al and az be passed
through the circuit. the latter being,
for instance, regulated for the fire.
quency al only the current OF FREE
quency az will give dux different
from zero. Now, If the weak iron core
be the one of telephone, the latter will
show only the effects of the frequency
az, and, generally speaking. all those
of any other frequency either superior
or inferior to al. A similar circuit,
capable of annihilating the effects on
an external circuit of either OF the cur.

Two More New Elements.

Prof Charles Baskerville, Of the Uni
verify OF North Carlonial has discovered
two new chemical elements allied 70
thorium, from which the NANTES ct
Welsbach burners are derived. he has
named one OF them car0linium, in honor
OF his state, and the other berzelium.
after the name Of the great Swedish
chemist, Rerzelius. Both the new ele-
ments are radioactive, giving of rays
that penetrate metals. wood and other
substances, and that are capable of pro-
ducing Photographic and visible light
effects Like other radioactive ele-
ments, they are Of high atomic weight.
Prol Baskerville has been on the
track OF these new elements for several
years.
