NJ COY TRAINS FAITHFULLY

Kid in Best of Shape for Fight Next
Saturday Night and Will Do His
Best to End Matters With a Knock

BY ROBERT

I have cen many a man prepare for battle in the ring, but never one
who seemed more in earnest than Kid Mccoy, who is training now 1t
White Plains for his fight with Jack OBren, in Philadelphia, next Satur-
day night.
There has been a lot OF talk about the coming engagement between
these W foxes of the ring, and fight followers apenty have hazarded the
opinion that Mccoy and O'Brien could not fight without having SOM secret
oyreen,ent oncernn the matter of a knockout. / confess to having held
nebulous ideas along that line myself, but after spending the after
noon with Mccoy, following his work. talking to him, I must say that If
tberei s ANYTHING but a furious fight "n the level in prospect, then the
Kid has m e buncoed completely. 1t is impossible to talk to him about
the oeht without believing that he is going down to Philadelphia filled

a Budget of Interesting Information
 From the Sonora Metropolis.

Mr. George W. Grove came from Nogales Tuesday morning, and was at Guaymas several days.
 Tuesday and Wednesday of the present week Mir. and Mrs. Louis A. Hudgin of Nogales, were vis- itors at Guaymas.
 The great sugar warehouse of the Sinaloa Sugar Manufacturing Co.,. near the Sonora Railway de- pot at Guaymas, was this week completed. It will hold S0,000 tons of sugar, and will be the sup ply depot for all of Sonora. The structure is very substantial one of stone, well calculated for the purpose intended. Mir. z. O.. Stocker of Guavmas was the arch itect and contractor.
 It is reported that MT Pedro Albin, the well known capitalist, will erect at Guaymas three story hotel, covering an entire hIock, which will be designed to meet the great and growing re- quirements for a first class tourist hotel at the Sonora metropolis. The success of the Hotel Arcadia at Hermosillo has demonstrated what can be done with good tourist hotel, and there is no better location for one anywhere than at Guaymas.
 In the cathedral, at noon Sunday last, there were united in matri mony Mr. Francisco A. Gonzalez of La Paz. Lower California, and Miss Maria Luisa Iiiigo, a daughter of one of the leading and most prom inent families in Sonora. The ceremony was performed by the bishop of the diocese and was wit messed by q large concourse of the most notable people in the city. Mir.

which 1t is announced that that bird
is probably the most useful abundant
species on the farms" Field observa-
tions, experiments and examinations
show that it consumes large quantities
of weed seeds and destroys many of
the worst insect pests with which far
mers contend, and yet it does not in
jure grain, fruit or any other crop. 1t
Is figured that from September 1 to
April 30, annually, in Virginia alone,
the total consumption Of weed seed
by bobwhites amounts to 573 tons.
Some of the pests which it habitually
destroys, the report says, are the Mex
lean cotton boil weevil, which damages
the cotton crop upwards Of $15,000,OU0
year; the potato and the cotton worms,
which have been known to cause $780,
O00, 900 loss in a year, the chinch bug,
and the Rocky Mountain locust. The
report urges measures to secure the
preservation Of the bobwhites in this
country.

RUSSIA A BABEL OF RAcEs.-The
Russian population is perhaps the
most mixed of all nations, and is made
up in large measure of conquered peo-
pies, who still remember their over
throw with bitterness. Probably not
far from one-third of the whole-from
forty to fifty millions-are true Mus
covites. Around the central Musco-
vites are grouped Lapps, Firms. Ger
mans. Lithuanians, Poles, Little Rus
slams, Ruthenians, Roumanians, Geor-
gians, Greeks and Tartars, with Jews
and Gypsies scattered through the
south and west.
These are all in European Russia
and this is nothing to the medley in
Asiatic Russia, where there is an al
most endless variety Of races. Each
of the races mentioned speaks a diff
ferent tongue, and there are at least
six different religions among them,
without counting sectaries, such as the
Doughbors. Bitter political hatred
burns fercely among the Firms,
Poles and Armenians, while symptoms
of active revolt are reported among
Georgians and Turcomans along the
Asiatic frontier.-Booklove Maga-
zine.

LAz1NEss.- Clowry Of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
holds that laziness. more than alcohol
or anything else, is responsible for the
failures that men and women make
of their lives.
Take the tramp" said President
Clowry one day. What is the tramp's
dominant trait? Is it not laziness?
You may say the tramp is fond of
liquor. Well, 1 answer that he is
fonder of idleness. He could swim
in liquor if he would work for it. But
he will not work.
"All failures are lazy. But the lazi-
est failure is the tramp. A tramp
