PREACHER PUGILIST
Says a Prayer in the Ring Before He
Starts to Fight.
\
New York Press.)


1t is the custom of Stonewall Allen,
the negro pugilist-preacher to say a
prayer in the ring before he engages
in a fight. Stonewall fights every
night in the week except Sunday. He
is So years old, but has "wallop"
that is a wonder, and it is a rare thing
for young fighter to get the decis-
ion over the veteran. Ever since three
rounds bouts have been permitted in
this CITY, Stonewall has been coming
money. He gets $40 or SIS night,
and as he had rather fight than eat
it is great fun for him.
The sports looked upon his praying
and preaching with tolerance at first
But now they are getting tired of it.
At the Pelican Athletic Club on Third
avenue, near Sixty-sixth street, Brook
Ign, last Thursday night, they put up
a job to queer" Stonewall Just be-
fore the bell rang for his bout they
threw half dozen buckets of water
into that end of the ring which he was
to occupy. AS the old darby climbed
under the ropes and saw how the
floor had been soused he looked griev-
ed.
Dat certainly am sinful" he said
as he put on his boxing gloves. He
took up his chair and carried it over
to the other end of the ring, where
there were some dry spots. Then he
set 1t down and, Hopping onto his
knees and resting his arms on the
chair, he offered up prayer. Posi-
bly, because of the soaking of the ring
he made his prayer longer and more
fervent than usual. He had not pro-
ceeded far with it when an irrever-
ent man yelled: "cut it out, Deacon;
cut it out!" The crowd joined in the
cry.
The preacher looked scandalized.
Stopping for moment he said, Gem
men, behave" and then proceeded
with his prayer.
Say, Deacon" shouted a man in
the crowd when the preacher finished,
there's place for praying and there
is place for fighting, and they're not
in the same place."
rs dat SOP" inquired the old man.
well, sir, does some of my praying
where I does my fighting. Now dat
We done my prayin' I'm ready for
my fighting. Mr.. Referee, Use ready
any time you is
And he was.
He was all over his antagonist a
few moments after the bell rang for
them to begin. For three rounds he
smashed at the head and body of his
opponent, and If the fellow had not
been in remarkably good condition
he would have been knocked out.
Then the parson-preacher collected
his SIS and departed. /

ONE-LEGGED MEN
PROVIDED FOR BY NEW EMPLOY.
MENT BUREAU.
Chicago Man Establishes New Form
of Industry-Has Many Applicants.

CHICAGO, May 12.-"Jobs for One.
Legged Men"
The above inscription was pasted
over noe of the pigeonholes in Hugo
Krause's roll-top desk at the central
Office of the Bureau of Charities yes
terday. Mr.. Krause leaned back in his
chair and contemplated the sign.
I'm getting up list of all the jobs
that men with one leg can hold" said
Mr.. Krause, "and after this list has
been prepared I'm going to make an
other list of the names of all the en-
ployers who have such jobs to offer.
After this list is made l am going to
make list of all the one-legged men
out of jobs. The next thing to do will
be to introduce the one-legged man to
the one-legged job"
The passing OF narrow strip of pa
per over the pigeonhole in his desk
yesterday marked the establishment
by the Bureau of Charities of an en-
ployment bureau for the crippled and
aged. Every job that can be held
down by men with one leg or no legs,
one arm or no arms, will be listed. So
will every job that offers an oppor-
tunity to the man who has passed the
Osler age limit. The plan Is to find
for the crippled, and thus
rid the streets of the man with the tin
cup, and to find work for the aged in
order that they will not be tempted
to take the DR.. Osler cure for old
age.
1t was admitted at the Bureau of
Charities that 1t Is harder to find
job for man with white hair than to
find job for a man without legs. For
refined old men the bureau has found
as Office attendants for
physicians, in reception rooms at large
at information bureaus
In the depots and elsewhere. 1t is be-
lieved that old men can also find en-
ployment in coat and umbrella check
Ing rooms at the hotels and depots. |
AS door attendants they may also be
acceptable, 1t has been found.
Among the jobs for other old men,
addressing, distributing dodgers and
folding and envelope stamping are said |
70 offer congenial work. A few days |
ago the bureau found employment for |
4 man without legs in a candy fac
DRY. One-armed men, it is pointed |
)ut, can serve as watchmen and can |
ind employment at suitable work in
'actories.
Already 100 letters have been sent to
iifferent employers asking their CO.
operation in the work of finding en-
oloyment for the unfortunates.
This is splendid cause, and we
ire hoping to get good results" de-
,lared Miss Rebecca Holmes, assist

Charities, land 1t seems that the en-
,loyers ought to be ready to cooperate
With us in every way We have al

STRANGE
NEW SNAKE
Bite of Borneo Reptile Is Fatal, But
Death Is Ecstatic.

DR.. Joab Weistock, of London, who
has just completed a three years tour
in Borneo and little known islands In
the Northern Pacific Ocean, arrived in
New York yesterday from the Pacific
Coast, and will sail for England next
Wednesday. His specially is toxicol
ogy, and the principal object of his
trip was to study and analyze the poi
son of venomous serpents.
I'm Borneo," said DIR. Welstosk, 81
found snake apparently unknown to
the majority of students of natural
history. l have examined the venom
sacs and their contents of the Ameri-
can rattlesnake, the copperhead and
the smaller variety of vipers, and the
numerous family of poisonous snakes
In India, chief of which is the cobra.
The effect from the bite from any of
these Is simliar-a partial paralysis,
intense thirst, sluggish in circulation
and death. The bite of the cobra and
the American rattlesnake end fatally
in about Is of 20 minutes, and there
is intense physical suffering.
THE snake / discovered in Borneo,
about 140 miles north of KIM Balu, and
which so far as / know, has not been
classified, is 10 inches long, and not
much thicker than lead pencil. The
head of the specimen | obtained was
three quarters of an inch In circum-
ference and the retroverted poison
fangs were one thirteenth of an inch
in length.
Its existence is known to only
few of the older Dyaks, and up to 60
or 70 years ago one Of these snakes
was an heirloom and used exclusive
ly to inf1ict death on the very old and
on the bedridden and helpless.
II did not see any of these human
sacrifices, but experimental on num-
erous dogs and pigs, and was inform
ed that the effect on the human sub
ject is the same. Immediately after
snake struck a pig the animals eyes
became glazed and the body began
to shrink until the skin hung In folds. 1
The animal suffered no pain apparent
ly, but grunted contentedly and ate
as usual The effect on dogs was sim
liar. Death came frequently within
"a hours.
"An old Dyak woman told me she
wanted to die by the bite of the Peang-
pin, as they call it, because death by
that method was ecstatic, and that
the subject enjoyed the most delight
full languor that could be imagined.
She had seen her grandmother, grand
father and many aged members of
the tribe put to death with the snake
bite, and deplored the fact that the
Dutch had made it penal offense to
continue the practice. l have no doubt
that it is continued secretly.
"The peang-pin is the only poison
GUS snake l know of whose bite Is
followed by such remarkable physical
phenomena as the shrinking of the
tissues. l saw only one specimen in
Borneo, and it escaped from me or
was stolen"

SCIENCE Is KING
 IF 1T IS USED RIGHT
A Rich Field Waiting to Be Filled By Somebody Who Thinks He Knows How.


 The Aerial Ice Co.,, which few an ice plant four or five miles up in the air where it is cool, ancnoring itI with balloons and supplying the market with natural ice now has new scheme on hand. It is too cold wealth CT now 10 work the ice graft and suck CTS are too slow in taking the stock There is a long. cold winter ahead and the board of directors needs a new overcoat so it was necessary to think of some new system.
 The directors have been reading with interest all that has been printed about Luther Burbank, the plant wizard. and it has set them to thinking seriously that his theory and practice may be profitably adapted to animal life as well. Everybody is familiar with the ordinary practice of selection in breed ing fine stock to get improved strains but this aggregation of philosophers proposes to go even further than that If there is anything at all in MT. Dar- wins theories, the crossing of not only varieties, but species. ought to become possible to those who have a genius in that line, not all at one jump but by reasonable gradations. utilizing all the AAAAAuEAANGS OL GSSONldLlOIl. ellNlIOuIAlELlL. diet etc. to accomplish the desired end. Reptiles, for instance, might be crossed with similar, yet different species until new species are created and the process continued until the breeder secured practically any kind of an animal he desired.
 In this way animals could be creat- ed that would fill numerous long felt wants and many that just now, in the comparatively early stages of civiliza- tion, are not even dreamed of. To be brief. the first achievement to which the company will devote itself. that is the final object, though it may take some time to attain it. is the crossing of the ostrich with the rattlesnake. The result would be a species of animated feather bOas. so popular in the winter time by society ladies. and so expensive the revenue would be incaIc1able. By guarding the secrets of the company 1t could be made into a trast the sherman law could not reach- The venom of the snake would at first be objectionable. but by careful ha ndling it is believed this also may be bred out of the reptile. But it is not likely there would be much demand for live ones anyway. They would have to be skin ned and their belts cured after the manner of treating furs.
 The process of creating new species would be interesting. After producing a line of ostriehes that were a little nearer the ground and a new order of varmints by grading up the snakes to- ward a higher life the amalgamatiOn of the species would be brought about by feeding the snakes on ostrich eggs, until they became thoroughly "ostra- eized' and began to grow pin feathers.

The new species would be perfected through selection.
 This is only an illustration, for the same experiments might be conducted along many lines. It was first proposed to use gopher snakes for the reason that they are not, venomOus. but that was given up through a fear that they would give way to old instincts and run into holes in the ground where they could not be harvested for the market when wanted It has been sug- gested, too, that some of the cOnstrict- or species might be utilized. raising them especially to supply those ancient maidens who long for expressive em- braces, but who have neither spouse nor sweetheart.
