cAoYNskY.REILLY FIGHT OFF
Some Talk Of Matching Tom Reilly
Against Charley Yost

The Choynsky- Reilly fight is off
There is some comment as whethe,
Choynski got cold feet or had legiti-
mate business elsewhere. Considerable
talk is being INDUCED in among the
sporting fraternity today and there Is
some talk tof matching Charley Yost OF
Portland against Tom Reilly in the
near future. Yost Is the man that Tom
put up his first fight with which was in
Portland. March 16. 1899. Reilly in
relating his experience says that this
seems to him yet as the hardest battle
he ever mixed up in. He managed in
some way to worry through eight
rounds and toward the last each one
made him feel as IT, the minutes were
stretching out into hours He says the
noor OF the ring seemed to be moving
up and down and rolling along like the
waves in a water tank wind storm and
In the eight rounds he fell from sheer
exhaustion and knew for the first time
what it means to lose.
1t was not long afterward that
Reilly fought Joe Cotton. This bout
came off at Eureka, Utah, and was a
close contest resulting in draw at the
end of the twentieth round After this
match Reilly entered the ring for keeps
and since then has engaged in a num-
Der OF important contests, the most
noteworthy Of which was the one with
Al. Neill of Portland where he gained
the title of middle weight champion of
the Pacific coast This title he has
since lost to Woods the cOlored fiDbtar

and he expects to meet Woods again in
San Francisco to battle for this title.
Charley Yost ranks up amongst the
good ones and if this contest is pulled
off here there is no doubt but that
plenty of Yost money will show up as
Yost has been taking excellent care OF
himself for the past two years and has
succeeded in defeating all corners.

THE MYSTERIOUS SINGER.

drank in every note with rapture. In
the daytime they would lounge in
groups before the dwelling, but as the
doors remained shut and the blinds
down, they did not see soul.
Beauty, so every man felt, must be
an attribute of the sweet but unseen
singer; and it was surprising how all
the boys "prinked" up in the hope Of
catching the attention of the unknown.
For week the music Of that WON
derful voice was heard till late every
night, and when it died out worldly
interest went with it, and the dreams
or the young men were filled with de-
lighttul fancies of the fair but my steri-
Gus songster.
One night the voice burst out with a
melody and rapture more enhancing
than usual, and one of the soldiers
sprang to his feet, exclaiming:
by jove! 1 can't stand this any
longer. That beautiful nightingale is
going to be discovered"
The amorous youth at once started
OF to reconnoiter the place He crept
on tiptoe toward the dwelling leaped
the garden fence and finally, undis-
| covered, but very pallid and remorseful.
The easement
Slowly raising his head, he peered
through partly raised window. The
room was full Of music and he seemed
to grow blind for the moment.
Lo! prone upon the kitchen hearth
sat the mysterious singer, In the shape
of fat. coal-black, middle-aged negress
securing tin kettles.
The soldiers limbs sank beneath
him, and the woman, catching sight
of him. stopped her singing and called
out:
Go way, dere, won't yehl Quick,
or I'll heave dis yere kettle at yer ugly
headi"
The soldier FASTENED back and told
OF his discovery; but the boys dreamt
no more of lissome angels in the camp.

Football is great medium for keep
ing money in circulation. Good prices

leges is expended in keeping up other
branches of sport. There have been
five games this season in the east

attendance was 10000; at the Yale
Princeton game it was 2S,000; at the
Harvard-Pennsylvania game. 1000: at
the Yale-Columbia game, $4,000. This

Pennsylvania-Cornel game drew well,
as did the Dartmouth Brown contest.
Lehigh and Lafayette drew 10000.

LACK OF COMMA AFFECTS LAW
Iowa's Governor Holds New Jersey
statute In Invalid Because of
Poor Punctuation,

Gov. Cummins of Iowa has refused
the application of New Jersey authori-
ties for the extradition of Fred Shiy-
ers, charged at Columbia with wife de-
sernon. The governor considers the
New Jersey law invalid because of the
omission Of comma and the insertion
OF conjunction.
The New Jersey law on wife deser-
ton provides for the punishment Of
men who desert their wives and leave
the state" Gov. Cummins points out
that leaving the state must be part
OF the crime. therefore the crime could
not be committed till the offender had
left the state. and, having left the state
before the crime was committed, he
cannot be extradited and returned to
the state.

SMELT FISHING IN MAINE.
Forty or Fifty Pounds i'm "a Tide Not
Regarded as an Uncommon Catch
for the Fishermen

The smelt fishermen are on the ice
at Surry, and, although the season has
Just begun, 300 to 400 bushels are be-
ing taken and shipped to Ellsworth
each day by stage and to the west.
The outlook for the smelling business
this year is greater than ever before
anG there will be two tents this season
TO every one last year. Not only men
and boys, but some women and girls
are also going into business and ELS
worth even will send a small deIeea-
uon 10 participate in the smelt fishing.
with the hshing season there is a de-
mand for boxes for shipping the fish.
and while the custom has been tn con-
tract with some manufacturer in an
other city to furnish the entire lot
IL appears this year that home manu-
facturers will be tried and one of the
citizens will try to make them. The
smelling has also created a demand
for small sheet iron stoves. to be used
In the tents for heating purposes, and
Ellsworth dealers are having them
sent over by the load.
While on the ice, when the tides ara
not favorable to fishing, men are busy
making more tents, not being satisfied
with one. When fishing is good, and
tides are running favorably, it is a COM
mon thing for the fishermen who best
understand handling the lines to take
Az or 90 pounds of fish in a tide. Later
In the season, when the men are all on
the Ice, the stage won't be able to bring
one-half of the fish to Ellsworth that
is to go by express, and extra teams
are sent over, besides the many sent

LINCOLN'S DEATH WARRANTS.
The President Had an Effective Way
OF Disposing OF the Dread
full Documents.

American history Is full of personal
anecdotes and incidents of the mag
nanlmity and kindness of heart of Abra-
ham Lincoln. The venerable Dr.. Bull
lock, for many years a clergyman. liked
to tell story which he heard during a
visit he once made to Mr.. Robert Lincoln.
the presidents son.
Vhe conversation naturally turned on
the father or the host, as DR.. Bullock had
known him during his early days In Ken
lucky. Mr.. Robert Lincoln, then minis
ter to England, recalled for his visitor
an incident of his childhood, which was
deeply impressed upon his memory. so
illustrative was 1t of his fathers char
acter.
He was with his father in his cabinet
one morning during the early years Of
the war when Secretary Stanton was an
nounced. Scarcely replying to the
courteous greeting of the Pres ident, Mr..
Stanton walked directly up to the desk
where Mr.. Lincoln was sitting and said:
Mr.. President, 1 have come for the pa
pers that brought you yesterday to be
signed"
We'll" said the president, with an
expression in his face something like
that OF convicted schoolboy. 1.-The truth
is. Stanton. they are not ready"
Well, then, those you had the day be-
fore"
They are not ready, either" was the
answer, with somewhat quizzical look.
But you have had some of them for
whole week, and all ask you to do is to
put your name to them. Come, do it
| now! The whole batch will not take
half an hour. / will wait while YOU
sign. 1t is only trifle am asking. and
1t is not like you to hinder our work in
this way"
"A trifte!" echoed Mr.. Lincoln. with a
deep gravity settling over his care-worn
countenance. do you know what these
papers are?"
of course do" answered the secre-
tary. They are death warrants"
And you call signing a death warrant

from under his desk q basket overflow
