SPORTS

James J. Jeffries, champion heavy
weight of the world and the greatest
fighter that has ever lived in the opin-
ion of all who have met him in the
ring, today declared that on Saturday
night, when he retires from the ring,
he will restore the heavyweight cham
pionship to Bob Fitzsimmons, says a
Chicago dispatch.
"Fitz whipped them ALL said JEFF
fries. Il am the only man who whip
ped him, and he gave me the hard
est fight I ever had. I am determined
to quit the ring after I have finished
my theatrical engagement in Chicago,
and then the Cornishman may have
his title back"
Jeffries' hands are affected by Sc
we're case of muscular rheumatism.
ct was just my desire to whip a
big, burly coon that brought me into
the ring. I was about II years Old
when this happened. Yes, it was in
1892. We were in Los Angeles then
and I was a husky lad, between a man
and a boy. They had a big picnic out
there this day, and everyone in town
was there l guess-Spaniards, coons,
Mexicans, and I don't know what sort
wasn't there. Well, in the afternoon,
during the dances, 1 saw big coon in
a mixup with a bunch of fellows, and
right away 1 wanted to get in and fight
him. The cops put stop to the fight,
anyway, and Griffin-that was the
coon's name, Hank Griffin-was told
| that I was looking for his head. He
| was an amateur heavyweight fighter.
Some of the boys fixed up a fight to
| take place in two weeks.
I Nine days before that fight I had
never worn boxing glove, but start
| ed then and trained until the night of
the fight, and from that evening on
Mr.. Griffin was a dead one"

PRIEST SACRIFICES HIMSELF.
Consumed by Flames in Full View Of
Thousands of Pensioners.

HOUSTON, Tex, May 11.-Offering
himself as a human sacrifice at the al
tar of his own cathedral, Ariosi Orifio,
parish priest at Cuale, state of Quad
alajara, Mexico, has atonei for the
sins of his congregation, according to
the dictates of mis- inflamed magma
ton. With his clothing saturated with
oil he stood upon the altar in full view
of the thousands summoned to wit
ness the spectacle, applied torch and
was consumed in a pillar of flame. AS
the fire sprang about him he prayed
for the forgiveness of the sins OF the
members of his congregation, at the
same time threatening with damna-
ton any who might approach.
Falling to the tagging of the ed1-
flee even his bones were consumed,
and according to the account OF the
affair, his dust was dissipated by a
sudden gust of wind, the ashes settling
over the awe-struck spectators.
Before the sacrifice Father Orlho
passed from house to house in his par
ish, offering blessings to the members
of mis- flock and commanding their
presence in the cathedral. At the ap-
pointed time, standing before them, he
called upon God to witness his deed
and forgive the sins of those over
whom he mad spent his life minister
ments of his office, with a crown of
thorns upon his head. He died with
out an outcry of pain, praying to the
last.

reason for the abandoning of this plan

UNITED BRETHREN MT
TRIENNlAL MEETING OF THE
GENERAL CONFERENCE BE.
ING HELD IN TOPEKA
Bishop Nicholas Castle of Oregon, IL
the Presiding Officer-Many
Delegated There. ~

TOPEKA, Kas., May 11.-Between
two and three hundred lay and minis
terial delegates, including 20 women,
and a large number of other visitors
are gathered in Topeka for the trien-
nal meeting of the general conference
of the United Brethren Church. The
unal of the chuch, and in it all the &C.
clesiastical power, granted by disci-
pline, is vested. Its province is to de-
fine the boundaries of the annual con-
ference, hear and pass upon reports of
general church officers, make and re-
peal rules of discipline, settle cases
submitted on appeal from the decisions
of annual conferences, and elect bish-
ops and other church officers.
In addition to delegates representing
all parts Of this country and Canada,
there are representatives present from
the ecclesiastical jurisdictions in Ger
many, Africa, Japan, China and the
Philippines.
the conference was formally opened
today, Bishop Nicholas Castle, of Ore
gon, presiding, and owing to the UNI
usually large amount of important
business to come up it will probably
be two Or three weeks before it's ses-
sions are concluded. The sessions are
being held in the hall of representa-
tives of the state capitol, where the
delegates were formally welcomed to-
day by Governor Hoch, and the Rev.
Charles M. Sheldon.
An important matter to come before
the present conference is the action
relative to the proposed union of the
Congregational, the Methodist Profess
tant and the United Brethren churches.
This has been subject of wide inter-
est for some time, and both Congrega-
tional and Methodist Protestant de-
nominations have voted favorably on
the general representative meeting. 1t
is believed that the general conference
of the United Brethren will likewise
favor the proposed union.
Two other matters that will engage
the attention of the conference are the
election of two bishops and a revision
of the administrative plan of the mis-
sionary work. If carried, the latter
cio will 10 nd

ject to board of control and to Sec

The educational general missionary,

will all be reviewed, and some changes
will be made in their plans and meth
DDS of work.

mittees will show the past year to
