Woodward's Pavilion tonight when
Joe Cans and Joe Waleott clash
in a twenty-round bout. The fight,
under the weight conditions, will not
affect Cans lightweight chamnion-
ship title should he meet with defeat,
but should he be fortunate enough to
secure the decision over Walcott he
can rightfully claim the welterweight
championship.
The sporting fraternity, at first in
clined to look upon the match be-
tween the two colored boys with con.
siderable suspicion, is now manifested
keen interest in the fight and unless
there is some evidence that things
are not on the level it is probable
that there will be as much betting on
the result as AT previous fights here.
There are several reasons why the
bout is attracting great attention. In
the first place both Cans and Walcott
are hard hitters and clever fighters
and as bad blood is known to exist
between the two there is every rea.
son why the ring followers should
look forward to a fight fast and fu.
rious. Another reason for the keen
interest manifested arises from the
announcement of the San Francisco
authorities that the 60 tonight win be
the last that will be permitted to take
place in this city for some time.

minimum the chances of being
struck by lightning. Out of

and If from the rapidity with
which the explosion follows the
flash 1t Is evident that electric
clouds are near at hand, re-
cumbent posture is the safest.
1t Is seldom dangerous to take
shelter under sheds, carts or low
buildings, or under the arch of a
bridge, and distance of 20 or so
feet from all trees or house Is an
eligible situation, for should a
discharge take place these eleva.
ted bodies are most likely to re.
ceive it.
1t is well, also, TO avoid water,
for it Is good conductor, and the
height of human beng near the

tion of a discharge. Within doors
We are tolerably safe in the mid

happy transition from earthly suf-
fering to heavenly bliss.
From our human standpoint it is inn
possible to see any justice in the re-
moval by death of those we have learn
ed to love and prize beyond all else
on earth. When though our hopes
of Immortality shall be realized with
out doubt our visions will be SO much
clearer and our knowledge so much
more profound that this with countless
other mysteries of life as well as death
Will appear perfectly plain to us, un-
til then, like the trusting child. fully
coniiding in the superior wisdom of a
tender parent let us believe that
God nothing does. nor suffers to bedonc,
Hut thou would 'stdo thySeif II thou could st see
The end of all he does as well as he"
The Poet presents the true view when
he writes
Not now but IN the coming years

Wen read the meaning Of our tears,
And then, sometime, wen understand.
Wen catch the broken thread again
And finish what we here began,
Heaven will the mysteries explain

Why song has ceased when scarce begun;

Why what we long for most OF all
EludeS 30 oft our eager hand:
why hopes are crushed and castles fan
Up there, sometime, wen understand
God knows the way he hold, the key,
He guides US with unerring hand,
Sometime with fearless eyes wen see:
Yes there, up there, wen understand
Then trust in God through all thy days.
Fear not for he doth hold thy hand:
Though dark the way, still sing and praise
Sometime, sometime, wen understand"
The death of any one in the range
OF our acquaintance causes us to un-
cover our heads and stop awhile and
think. But when it comes nearer home
and claims our loved ones the sadness
deepens and, but for the sunlight of
Immortality falling on our hopes, we
would lose ourselves in the darkness.
II IS only when we drink the same Bit
ter cup that we know what 1t means,
but only then. But the dear Christ
knows it too. He was "a man of sor-
owand acquainted with grief" Isaiah

ours. only Jesus can brush away
