Philadelphia Fighter Writes to a
Friend on Coast About the
Fitzsimmons Go.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11-Jack
Criffins, who represents Jack OBrien
on the coast, received letter from the
Quaker fighter Monday. O'Brien is as
eager as ever to meet Tommy Ryan,
and he urges Criftins not to delay his
efforts toward getting a match for him.
O'Brien also tells how he beat Fitz-
simmons, though all the eastern critics
don't allow that ne had decided ad-
vantage. O'Brien writes as follows:
If there is one man in the world l
can defeat it is Mr.. Ryan, so get to
work in my behalf and any reasonable
inducement will suit, just to have a
crack at him for old-time's sake; nuf
sed. OF course you want my version of
the open-air match yesterday, and l
want to say right here that Bobby
F'itz was never Inundated to such an
extent in his career as a fighter.
The match, originally scheduled for
July 8, was on it's merits pure and
simple, but the one of yesterday was
renewal of contract and allowed

THAT AVoCATION LEADS ALL
OTHERS IN THE STATE OF

New Experiments Made IN street Var
Ventilation on Brooklyn Heights
Railroad

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 1l.-Ihe
figures recently published by the CEN
sus hureau show that farming ranks
first in Importance i'll the state OF
washington. AS indeed it does in the
nation. In the United States, as whole
farmers and their helpers far out
number any other single trade or Oc-
cupation. This seems a little singular
when it is considered that nearly a
tenth of the population of the whole
country is in half a dozen great cities,
where. of course, there are no farms.
In the state of Washington in 1900
there were 204606 male persons over
10 years of age engaged in ''gainful oc-
cupations," and of these, 59,159 were
employed in agricultural pursuits. 1t
is interesting to notice that the several
great classes of occupations rank in
the same order Gas to the relative num-
Der of persons employed) in the state
of Washington as they do in the coun-
try as a whole. The order is: First, ag-
ricultural pursuits; second manufac-
turing and mechanical pursuits; third
domestic and personal service; fourth,
trade and transportation; fifth, profess
SiOnal service. The number of persons
employed in manufacturing and me-
chanical pursuits in Washington is rel
atively large. showing that the state is

tries. The total number of the male
population under this clause is 55,376.
1t includes such occupations as bakers,
blacksmithS. butchers carpenters, en-
gineers and firemen, fishermen, ma
chnists, miners, stone cutters, paint
ers, plumbers and factory operatives.
The whole number of male persons

Folks who ride in cars will be inter-
ested in some experiments made last
week in car ventilation on the Brook
Ign Heights railroad. According to the
report of one experiment, two open
ings We're made in the deck sash of
the car, about ten inches apart into
which We're fitted slabs to defect the
intake of air to the roof of the car. Be
tween these openings shngle was ex-
tended from the side of the car, so that
the wind would strike against it when
the car was in motion" The principle
on which this experiment was conduct
ed was that the shingle would intercept
the air and defect the same through
the inclined Stats toward the roof of
the car-cinders, dust, a.. striking
the sningle and falling to the ground
Meanwhile the passage of the single
through the air would create d vacuum
behind it which would result in the
Nltlated air IN the car being drawn off
through the Stats in the rear of the
shingle.
The car in watch the experiments
We're made was filled with smoke from
burning rags and refuse until the at
