PARIS MONUMENTS
SHED THEIR. COVERS

PARIS. Jan. 15-So numerous have
been the complaints of American tour
lists in Paris that the monuments in the
capital and surrounding districts were
entirely hidden by scaffolding that the
ministry Of public works and OF fine
arts has taken the matter in hand with
the results that gradually the historic
monuments are resuming their natural
appearance.
One of the chief offending scaffoldings
was that which hid the great door Of
the Castle Of ST. Germaih. The work OF
restoration was commenced on the cas-
tie II. 1862. but was Interrupted by the
Frar cG-Cerman war, and was not re-
sumud TIL 1895.
Tbe scanolding which has just been
taken down had stood since that time.

 JEFFRIES' BIRTHPLACE - The
 sporting editor of The Republican had numerous calls yesterday for nfor- nation regarding the birthplace of the heavyweight champion of the prize ring. James J. Jeffries. A discussion as to the age of the champion had started in one of the downtown houses and the argument spread until it had last evening taken in the greater part of the sporting element of the town. i There was about an even division of the element one half contending that MT Jeffries was q Native Son. the other half denying that he was. Some thought he was born in Indiana, others said they knew he was born in Illinois, while others put the place of his birth in Kentucky. There was one man who knew his family in Kentucky and claimed to have seen the baby Jim shortly after he was born. The fam fly was not one of prominence. There were still additional guessers who claimed the mighty man of the ring was born in Ohio. and this opinion was verified by the sporting editor. Jeff fries was born in southern Ohio and when a boy was taken into California. The dispute arose over whether Jeff | fries had the right to wear the Native Sons badge he is so often pictured as wearing.

PREPARATION
 FOR TERRITORIAL FAIR
They Are Developing Speed for the
 Pony Races.

The Indians are engaged in feverish preparation for the territorial fair. There will be about $500 in prizes to be drawn down by them in races of various kinds and the main thing now is to see which tribe shall get the most of it, if not all of it.
 George F. Brown. who has charge of the Indians at Gila crossing, and all along the river for that matter was in town yesterday and said that training for the great event was already under way. He has begun the construction Of a training track for them not far from the crossing. They can hardly wait until it is finished.
 The Indians have been put into a class by themselves and MT. Brown says that perhaps that will be a good thing for some of the white horse-own- CTS for a few of the Indian ponies are developing a kind of speed which if the development keeps up at the same ratio until the time of the fair. will make a streak of lightning look like a lazy. lingering lOaier.
 It was at first the intention to make the training track only half a mile but il will probably be made a mile.
