THE pUClLlSTS,
OLDEST BOXER
 IS DEAD
Over Eighty Years of Age and Taught Five Thou. sand-Pedlar Palmer to Box-Other News.

New York, Feb 9.--One of the oldest boxers in the world, Benjamin Van Slyke, aged S7 years, died at his resi-. dence, No 561 East 144th street, Mon- day, and was buried ill Woodlawn cen- etery this afternoon. Old Ben Van Slyke, as he was familiarly known, had been an instructor in boxing on Broad way for the last fifty years, and for a long time had his gymnasium in Daly's theater building His pupils included bankers, brokers actors and profession al men. and at one time his assistant was Mike Donovan, now instructor to President Roosevelt.
 Octogenarian Van Slyke was hale and hearty up to within a few weeks of his death. and less than two months ago he accidentally knocked out a POO pound pupil in friendly bout He leaves widow many years his junior and son, Benjamin, Jr, aged g years. h the realm of fistiana Prof Van Slyke had met and enjoyed the personal friendship of the greatest prize-fghting champions, including John l.. Sullivan, Jake Kilrain, Tom Hyer, John c. Hee- nan and others up to the present day top -notchers.
 On New Years day last Van Slyke complained to his wife that he had pains in the chest and shoulders and felt sick. He went to bed and his ill., ness, increased. Dr J. J. Smith was called in.
 To his friends Van Slyke said:
 T learned to box fifteen years be. fore the Mexican war. You could hard. ly call it boxing, for we fought with bare knuckles, and many hard knock took. That's the reason why have a good fighting chance in this illness, and don't regret punch, because it made me hard and helped nay physique. have never been trainer of prize lighters, but have taught the art of self-defense to more than 5000 per sons.
 ''The reason I am strong at s7 years is because worked hard, played hard and enjoyed myself in moderation. l believe that if mans stomach is in good shape he is pretty nearly illness proof.
 T box with my 9-year-old boy, and I have reason to believe that if he fol- lows my system and what I have drummed into his little head, he will live to my age. Every man ought to box or take some kind of strenuous ex. ercise. It's food for the brain as well as life for the muscles
 Dr Smith said that Van Slyke fought a game battle in his illness. ., q Since the death of the aged boxer his widow has received hundreds of letters from old time pupils and friends who knew Van Slyke as the ''old man athlete" .thirty-tiye years ago

-Four seuats Seats Vacant.

The rather sudden death yesterday of
Senator Bate, Of Tennessee, leaves four
seats vacant 10 the Senate The dead
locks 10 the Legislature OF Delaware aud
Missouri have prevented the election Of
successors 10 Senators Ball and Cockrell,
while Governor LaFollette, of Wisconsin,
elected to succeed Senator Quarles,
retains his State Office and will not
quality until railroad legislation now
pending u. Madison has been enacted
and signed by him as Governor. These
vacancies are not likely to affect the
ratification Of the San Domingo treaty,
as there are enough democratic votes
assured for that instrument as amended
10 make, with the republican vote, the
neccesssary two-;hirds of the Senate.
There will be lively three-cornered
fight in Tennessee for the seat left
vacant by the death Of Senator Bate.
The candidates are Ex-Governor Benton
McMillin, ex Governor Bob Taylor aud
the present Governor, James B. Frazier.
The latter's possession of the governor
ship will give him an advantage over
his competitors, but McMillin. having
canvassed the State for the senatorship
a couple of times, is very strong with
the rank and file of the party and may
be able to bring enough popular pressure
to bear on the legislature to offset the
advantage of the governor, The tight
is expected to develop considerable Bit
terness and election may be long de-
Iavad
