Charley Mitchell's Views.

Charley Mitchells declaration that
fighting is practically dead in England
is significant, coming as it does from
one of the greatest pugilists England
has had.
Mitchell is now we'll along in years
and has had an opportunity to watch
the decrease of his favorite sport. Eng
land vas the birthplace Of pugilism,
and it seems surprising that the sport
should be dying out there, while it is
increasing in many parts of the United
States.
America" declares Mitchell, "is the
real country for the fighters. Fight
ers now get more money in America
ever when they lose than winners for
merly received in England" The for
mer English champion comedies that
the sport is improving from a scien-
tiic standpoint.

Rhythmic Again In Form.

II ms AA = y AAs
Both Trainer Scott Hudson and
Rhythmic's owner. Jesse Turney, have
great faith that the marvellous blind
stallion will be a better horse the COM
ing season than ever before. and set
2:O5 as the record to which the worlds
champion blind trotting horse will
lower his present mark Of 2:O6A. tfI.
The remarkable horse was a shade
off the first of the year last season, but
this spring and past winter he has
been in perfect fettle all the time, and
Hudson believes he will be an early
bird on the grand circuit.
Though making a full season in the
stud, Rhythmic is daily receiving regu-
lar training. and if all continues to go
we'll with him he will be as neal fit as
the average star trotter when the grand
circuit campaign opens.
Rhythmic. even if laid over this year,
has many opportunities before him to
put the record for a blind trotting stall
lion down to a notch where it will
stand for years to come, as he is now
only seven years old. but if he con-
tinues in his present condition during
the coming two months the racegoers
are almost sure to see the brown whirl-
wind in the thickest of the fight in the
2:O7 class and free for all races this
year.

On Starting a Running Race.

81 have always found it BEST" says
Starter Mcknight, "to place the kickers
on the outside rail, thus separating
them sufficiently from the field to have
an open battle ground. Then convince
the bad mes you are master. Kindness
may teach the lesson, but teach it any
how. s
'The hardest horse l eve saw to
control? Diomed. This n never
faced the barrier at Oakland. Cal, that
there wasn't a fight. and he was finally
set out of the game. He could be con-
auered temporarily after a contest, but
he always renewed the fight with ev-
cry appearance at the gate. "sf
II have had more trouble with faulty
barriers than with the jockeys. l ap-
preciate the eagerness with which
boys face a gate and know they are all
generally anxious to be off in front for
track position. AS long as they are
not too enthusiastic nor too sluggish
we won't have much trouble. And l
generally believe in giving the boy the
benefit of the doubt in a contention"

MORE BODIES FOUND
DEATH LIST OF TIE GENERAL
SLOCUM DISASTER KEEPS
ON GROWING.

New York. June 2~0.-Sunday's har-
vest of dead from the steamer General
Slocum numbered 40, bringing the to-
tai number Of bodies so far recovered
up to 632. OF these $50 have been
identified, while 40 of the victims now
lying at the morgue have not been
claimed by friends or relatives.
During the day thirty-six bodies were
recovered and it was nOt till after
dark, when the great majority of the
searchers had ceased to work, that the
other thirteen were found. Most of
these came up from the bottom and
foated to shore. They were di7cov-
cred by the police who were left to
watch all night.
Divers who went to the wreck OF the
Slocum found the bodies of a woman,
a girl and a boy and brought them to
the surface. They were burned be-
yond recognition. The divers said
there are more bodies in the wreck.
While the list of missing has been
cut down somewhat by the Identified
tons made Sunday. eleven new names
we're added to that roll, thus leaving
the total Of missing almost as it was
on Saturday-somethlng more than
800.
The funerals of nearly 100 victims
of the disaster were held Sunday. In
many instances two caskets were car
ried in the same hearse, and in some
cases two and even three hearses bore
away the dead of a single family.

Calye.s ~snnitarium.

Nine. Emma Calve has founded a

Daily Messenger. There nearly sixty
young girls in need of pure air and
medical attendance are received every
summer. all the expenses being borne
by the great singer. 1t is reported that
burglars have paid Il visit to the SAM

could lay their hands on. Nine. Calye

the preparation Of the sanitarium for
the reception Of the annual contingent
Of sick girls.

Just to show them that the ability
to carry on a quarrel vas not a mo-

NEW USE OF INJUNCTION.

NEW USE OF INJUNCTION.
Butte. where the most has always
been heard a.out government by in
junction. has found a new use for
tie restraining power OF the courts,
Some weeks ago enc OF the Judges
ine,e made an order assembling a
grand jury. the purpose being to look
into the official acts OF the several
county officers. The jury did its work
so we'll that a large and interesting
batch of indictments has been re-
turned and some gentlemen of hither-
to high standing and spotless reputa-
tions find themselves under bonds to
answer to criminal charges preferred
against them. Trial of some has been
begun. Instead OF facing the issue
and fighting the thing Out on a stand
OF innocence, they have preferred to
follow the example Of the Nebraska
senator and avail themselves of tech
nicalities.
First challenge was made that the
indicting body had not been legally
and regularly empaneled. Arguments
and testimony were heard and it was
supposed that events would be pei.
mitted to take their regular course
and the decision OF the court would
be awaited. Instead, the astute legal
gentlemen who have been retained
for the oefense of the indicted one
suddenly remembered the injunction
and at once proceeded to put it to
a use heretofore unheard of. Appeal
ing to some complacent citizens, pre-
sumably possessed of strong friend
ship for the men in trouble, they in
duced them to unite in a petition to
the court, and out jumps an injunction
county officials whose duty it is
made under the law to pay the bills
incurred in the conduct of courts
have been restrained from auditing or
allowing any more of the bills for
expenses brought about by the grand
jury.
How this will affect the cases of the
men indicted does not appear, but if
the grand jurors of Butte are COM
posed of the same material as men
elsewhere, it is safe to assume that
there will be no more indictments.
Ever since the system Of securing
labor by the payment of money in
exchange has obtained men every
where have refused to work for others
unless compensation was in sight. 1t
was knowledge of this characteristic
OF human nature that probably
prompted the invocation of the power
of the injunction.

Some of the old chivalry, decadence

Some OF the old chivalry, decadence
of which so much has been heard dur
ing recent years, still remains in the
democrats of Illinois. Spurning to
take any advantage that nay have
accrued to them because of the row
in the republican state convention,
they promptly proceeded to fight
among themselves as soon as they
convened, thus placing botn parties on
a seeming equality on that score.

home here Sunday. He also shot at
his brother-in-law and a lad who were

Cerrerski's wife left him six weeks
