BATTLING MEXICAN HAILSTORM
HaiIstones as large as hen's

Hailstones as large as hens eggs fell more than a foot deep in some places yesterday afternoon July l2J at Rion- da. on the Mexican National, according to passengers who arrived last night on the belated train and who report that every stalk of corn and every growing vegetable within radius Of more than three miles were beaten to the ground and completely denuded of foliage and leaves by the terrific yio- lence of the hail. As the train passed through the hailstorm the passengers heard the deafening downpour of frozen water and looking outside saw the corn and vegetables irresistibly pressed to the earth and pounded al most into pulp. On the platform Of the car some of the hailstOnes fell and were gathered by passengers. Some Of these stones were as large as hen eggs.
 Rionda is about thirty miles up the road from Mexico City and the train was passing with fair speed 10 make up a little Of the lost time, having been due here at 10:j0 in the morning. The storm cloud showed m the north- west and immediately thereafter the hail began to fall, increasing in size sapd Intensity as the train proceeded. Some of the larger stones broke win dow or two in the coaches and beat out the glass in the engine cab. For fully thirty minutes the train sped through the hailstorm and the passen- gers could see the accumulated hail. stones by the roadside in piles of from six inches to a foot in depth. The track was covered in some places. but this did not impede the progress Of the train. although il was compelled to moderate the speed for fear of a sudden mishsp from slipping on the hail. Those who saw the storm state that they never have witnessed such a violent hailsform as they saw yesteT- day evening along the right Of way Mexican Herald.

LONG TIME A BUILDING.

4 church begun in the 18th century and only just finished. That is the un- paralleled characteristic of the church of St Urban, in Troyes, which is to be solemnly opened to-day. Pope Urban ", who was a native of Troyes, or dered its construction on the site of the house in which he was born, and the foundations were laid during his pom tificate. At his death he left the care of the work to his nephew, Cardinal Ancher, hoping thus, said his holiness. to pereptuate his memory among his compatriots and fellow citizens. But, although the edifice is destined to be according to the great Violet le Due. the jewel of Gothic art in France. it's progress has been delayed through the centuries until it's completion in the 20th. The opening will be celebrated with splendid ceremony, in which some Of the greatest living ecclesiastical ora tors will take part.

ONE WAY TO JUDGE.

Do you know said the head waiter at one of the Kansas City hotels re- gently, that an experienced waiter can usilally fell whether diner is wealthy CT sot +y nhe way he handles his meal check: If a man carelessly pitches out his money for the waiter to pay the bill. without looking over his check. we know the chances are he isn't wealthy. He is indulging in q luxury and fears he might be laughed at if he examined the check. The man who has plenty of money ex- smines his check closely, as rule. If he finds an item which he thinks is wrong he tells the waiter about 1t. II probably was just such care as thar that made him rich. Is he laughed att Well. I guess not Really, the walters admire him for his carefulness. and the result is they are doubly particu- lar about how he is charged. Kansas City Times.

TWIN" SULLIVAN WON.

St John. x. B., July 2l.-Mike TwinD Sullivan of Boston won from Beth Mcleod ill the sixth round of what was to have been q ten-round contest in the Victoria rink Wednes- day night.
 Sullivan, with a swing on the jaw sent the local man to the floor for part of the count in the sixth. He rose to his feet staggering and as Sullivan moved to put on the finishing touches, Referee Jack Power waved the fighters aside and gave the decision to Sulli- van.
 For the first three rounds it was a pretty contest, both men giving a iine impression. IL was stiff boxing, Dut no finishing blows were attempted. But Sullivan's longer reach and insistenI jabbing began to weaken the local man and in the fifth and sixth Mcleod was weakening.
 A solid right smash on the jaw final ly landed on Mcleod and to prevent a knockout the bout was stopped.

CAPTAIN CLARK's ROMANCE.
Famous Explorer Married an Indian Girl-Granddaught Discovered.

Famous Explorer Married an Indian Girl-Granddaughter Discovered.
 Congressman Joseph Dixon of Mon- tana at his home in Missoula has ob- tained what he regards as indisputAbie proofs that the famous explorer Will liam Clark was married to an Indian woman of the Neg Perce country while making his way across the continent to the Pacific 100 years ago, says Helena (Monty dispatch. This was brought to Congressman Dixon by Mary Clark, granddaughter of William Clark. Me Clark, son of the explorer, was killed in fight with the soldiers of General Miles in the Bear Paw mountains on Snake creek in the fall of 1877.
 It was between May and September in 1895 that Captain Clark gained bis Indian sweetheart. The Neg Peree h. dians treated the exploring party very kindly and stop of some time was made among them, while the party was preparing to descend the great divide.
 The Indian bride accompanied the explorer to the coast, learning to speak English, and returned with him to her own country, where her son was born. The white man went on and the Indian maiden remained with her people and her child. Me Clark" the son. of "Ta Lac" as the Indians called him, learned English from his mother.
 He was known to many old time Montanans, among them being Judge Hiram Knowles and Judge F H. Woody. The granddaughter still has a trace of the Clark red hair, hers being sandy The people of Missoula are making up purse and will send Mary Clark, the granddaughter now fifty years old, and her children to the Lewis and Clark fair at Portland

Britt and Sullivan Face Each Other To.Night- John |. to Be a Star Ryan is Champion.

San Francisco, July 21.-Jimmy Britt and Kid Sullivan are monkeying round their training quarters waiting now for the bell which will get them together tonight. The usual statements have been given out by the managers as to the perfect condition of the men, and. as a matter of fact, both look fit and good.
 There is not much enthusiasm over the battle here. although at the last minute big crowd will no doubt pour into the club as it always does when Britt. "the Pride of Frisco" fights The pair are practically down to weight and will climb Into the ring shade below the scale. Sullivan looks a trife heavy, but will be able to do 133 pounds easily. He is brown from exposure to the sun and hard as nails," according to Al Herford, who is so confident that his protege will win that he says he has put up 5000 with lIlcuu lD Dtl at lile IlLRsllt night at prevailing odds.
 Britt has not made the mistake that has dragged so many champions off their pedestals. Whether he regards Sullivan as a dangerous opponent or not, he has trained just as faithfully as if he expected the hardest battle or his career There has been but nrtle boosting from the Britt camp, bat there is quiet note of confidence that contrasts strongly with the boastful- ness of Herford.
 Referee Jack Welch has arranged to meet the fighters to-day to talk over the articles of agreement and get to d mutual understanding of the style of fighting.
