petrated, and the maAs continued:
I'VE were in bathing one day and
saw two or three sharks. Joe at once
declared that he would swim out and

FIGHT RECEIPTS s21.soo
Jeffries Received $9,156 and Nunroe

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-The gross
receipts of the Jeffries- Munroe fight
were $21,S00, of which. Jeffries re-
ceivew $9,156 and Munroe $6,104, the
remainder going to the promoters of
the contest. All who witnessed the
contest agree that the champion is in
a class by himself and that no other
living pugilist is likely to dispute his
right to the title. Throughout the
round and As seconds that the fight
lasted Jeffries chewed gum and
smiled. He was perfectly calm and
entirely at his ease. while Munroe was
pale and evidently nervous. Never for
a moment did he stand the slightest
chance to win, <u3 he was game and
determined to fight to the end. Had
no Referee Graney interceded as JEFF
fries was preparing to land the de-
cisive blow, the bout might have end
ed in a tragedy. Munroe finds con-
so lation in the belief that he went as
far with Jeffries as any one could
The champion anticipated a severe
battle and expressed himself as sur
prised that his opponent made so poor
a showing.

LESS TEA COMING.
Importations Are Expected to Show a
Heavy Decline.

New York. Aug. 27.-Tea importers
here say importations into America this
year probably will be three or four mill
lion pounds less than the preceding IL
months. The experts say this falling
off is only indirectly due to the war be-
tween Japan and Russia as 1t has had
no appreciate effect on the trade be-
yond an increased rate of marine insur-
ance.
The cause is found in the fact that
during two or three months before the
war began there was a wave of specuIa-
tive buying on the part of jobbers and
retailers alike all over the country.
This resulted in an advance of 10 to is
per cent, but the trade having filled llp
in anticipation of future wants, the de-
mand disappeared for a time, causing
great dizziness which has only just be-
gun to disappear.

Woman so Years Old Burned to Death
in Consequence.

New York, Aug. 27.-Mrs. Hanna
CIaspy, 80 years old, has been burned
to death in her bed at her son-in-
laws home in Harlem as a result of
her fondness fer smoking a pipe.
Many efforts had been made by the
family to break the OLD lady's craving
for tobacco, but while her daughter
latter's young child were asleep
and the son-in-law was absent, she
lay down to enjoy a smoke. The SON
in-law returned shortly and found the
apartment in flames. With great diff
Guilty he rescued his wife and baby.
After the firemen had extinguished the
blaze they found Mrs. Claspy'S body
burned to a crisp. Apparently she
had fallen asleep and let her pipe
drop upon the bed.

in st. Louis. The official who sent it
there evidently did it either because
he believed that st. Louis was in Arr
IONA or because he imagined that so
puissant a person as the editor of the
Kicker" would be sure to dwell at the
exposition, or else because he had a
grudge against the st. Louis postmas-
ter.
However. the st. Louis postmaster
passed it up" to use the language of
the Kicker" and presently the letter
reached the postmaster in Chicago.
That person took his duties more Sc
riously, and instead of stamping the
envelope and sending to some other
suffering official in some other town,
he wrapped a long pale slip of paper
around it and wrote on it in blue lead
pencil:
This is for the writer of some funny
articles which purport to be copied
from the Arizona Kicker a paper
which only exists in the mind of some
newspaper man; They frequently ap-
pear in the Daily News Can you as
certain where letter should go?''
This was sent to the Daily News" of
Chicago, and that paper, being better
acquainted with the humorous litera-
tuTe of the United States than the post
masters evidently are, sent it to The
Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate, which
enriches the world weekly by dissem-
mating the sayings of the editor of the
Arizona Kicker"
