San Francisco, Dec. 21.-At the end
of the thirteenth round last night,
Robert Fitzsimmons Collapsed and
Referee Graney awarded the fight to
Jack O'Brien. When the gong rang
for the close of the thirteenth roun1
Fitzsimmons walked to his corner and
sat down. He told Graney thar
OBrien hit him in the stomach, and as
he made the statement his head saak.
the referee announced the decision
and FitzsimmOns slipped to the floor
and lay PROSTATE in the ring "A doc
tor was called and Fitzsimmons was

with the assistance of his seconds he
left the ring. He announced that he
had done his best and that it was his
last fight.
o'5rien Favorite at Last.
When Fitzsimmons and OBrien en-
tered the ring at Mechanics PAVILION
to battle for light heavyweight honors,
O'Brien was favorite in the betting,
10 10 s. Fitzsimmons had been favor
lie until in the afternoon, when odds
were even. O'Bren money came in
such quantities that just before the
gate opened he was the decided ia
vorite. The men fought at catch
weights. O'Brien's weight was given
as 165, Fitzsimmons' as 1853. In the
first round not more than four blows
were exchanged, O'Briep contented
himself with dancing about with Fitz-
simmons following, but seldom al
tempting to land
In Ie second Fitzsimmons crouched
low ami after O'Brien had missed a
left for the face he whipped his left
and right TO the face and Fitzsimmons
partially landed a straight left and
right to the face and body. Fitzsim-
mons drove O'Brien into a corner ami
cleyerly ducked hard left to the jaw
In the breaL that followed Bob got in
a light uppercut to the jaw. O'Brien
suddenly shot left to the jaw and
catching Fitz off his balance, drove
right and left to the face and then
clinched. O'Brien was very quick,
Fitz missing him a foot at times. Bob
showed a right to the face and Jack
countered with a short arm iab as the
bell rang.
In the third Fitzsimmons landed a
hard left on the jaw and a left to the
face. Just as the bell rang O'Brien
shot straight left or Bob's nose and
I sent him to the floor. In the fourth
OBrien forced nearly through the
ropes with a rush and Fitz fell on his
! left knee. He was up quickly and put
stiff left over O'Brien's eye. O'Brien
drew blood from Fitzsimmons' mouth
and nose. Jack pegged away in the
fifth with his left and Bob again bIed
profusely from the mouth and nose.
Finally Fitz caught OBrien over tba
mouth, bringing blood.
FitZsimmons met 0'Brien in the
sixth with a crushing left as the latter
led but the blow was partly blocked.
Fitz received two straight'left jabs on
the face and after missing right and
| left for the jaw. Ian led a right swing
on the ear.

In communicating to the legisla-
ture his approval of tire bills passed
at the extra session, Governor La
Toilette gave information of his dis,
approval in spirit of the proposed in.
vestigation of the state university
He suggested that such an enactment
was not germane to the proclamation
calling the extra session, and said it
might be attacked on the ground of
constitutionality. He also said that
the appropriation of $4,000 provided
for in the bill was extravagant, but
that he hoped the committee would
not try to spend it all. He said he
approved The bill rather than veto it,
for veto might operate 10 prejudice
the people against the institution.

Watch a stage lady walk across the
room and throw herself into chair"
and you will catch the meaning. The
abandon with which she let's herself
go is commendable, but she sits too
near the edge and she keeps her feet
too near the chair. She cannot forget
the custom of the skirt of which she
is instinctively fearful of marring the
set; and she cannot handle her legs
without a thought of the ruffie on her
petticoat. So, in the matter of a
snore, the new woman proceeds as in
other things with a becoming con-
scientiousness that still misses the
charm and ease that are bred alone
of long habit. 1t is true that it is the
accustomed traits that ambition seeks
to correct, the novelties that it would
acquire. So it is true that while man
is becoming slowly sensitive to his
snore, woman seems to be trying to
acquire it, The result is not much 10
speak of. The effort lacks voiumn and
it is not sustained. There is a squeak
about it that it is trying to listen
to, a hesitancy about taking the note
and not enough originality in the va
riations. The whistle, for instance.
with which it almost seems that sleep
ing man is wonderingly applauding his
own efforts, is entirely lacking. Your
womans snore is short and
