New York, Aug, 1O.-What ought to be nifty battle is now in course of being arranged between Jack Johnson, the big colored scrap per, who recently put quietus on the ambitions of decrepit Freckled Bob, and Sailor Burke. The bout IS to be pulled off during the first week in September and will go to the club offering the best induce ments, bids to be opened Monday. The agreement signed by Joe Hum- phrys, Burke's manager and Sam fitzpatrick who looks after the in- terest of the colored giant, calls for the men to box six rounds at catch weights. It is agreed that soft ban pages can be worn by both men and that straight Marquis of Queensbury rules shall goyern Each side has agreed to post a forfeit when bid for the bout has been accepted. While there is no doubt that the mar lner can put up stiff fight, he ought to be fried chicken and water melon for the big moke.
 New York sports are manifest ing lively interest in next Fridays battle for the lightweight champion ship of the world between Joe Cans and George Memsic, to be pulled off in Los Angles. Jim Jeffries will act as referee and will receive $1,- 900 for his services. According to advices from the coast, both men are now in training and will be in good condition when they face each other in the ring six days hence. A $2,O00 forfeit has been posted by each fighter and the packers of both declare they mean business and that rumors of a fake are base1ess. The men will be required to weigh in public every day next week before
 
 the contest, which will prevent an- other Nelson, Herrera fiasco. As a protection to the public Jeffries de- clares that if anything shady de- velops in connection with the con- test, he will call all bets off The S10,000 purse will be divided sS,- 900 to Cans and $2,O00 to Memsic win or lose. Tn whatever the tide of battle turns, Baltimore Joe will "have white man workin' for him" :" Surprises are always possible in pugilism, and every fighter takes his pitcher to the we'll once to often, but it isn't likely that many fight fans will back Memsic on the strength

of this possibility. He is undoubt- edly clever fighter and hard hit ter, but Cans is still in his prime and will likely find it easy to efface Memsic from che lightweight pugil- istic map.
 Sports of the middle west will have an opportunity to see a good mix-up a week from Tuesday night, when Packy Mcfarland and Benny 1anger are scheduled to do things to each other before the St. Joe A. C., Fort Wayne, Ind, The melee is to go ten rounds and the weight agreed upon is 13O pounds at noon on the day of the contest, August 20. Malachy Hogan will referee This bout is to take the place of the Yanger-Little contest, which has been declared off. Both Mcfarland and Yanger have made good in the sporting circles of the central states and settlement of the question of superiority offers interesting fea- lures.
 Reports from the sagebrush me- tropolis state that Goldfe1d has a new athletic club, which will put on it's first attraction Labor Day. Mar win Hart and Mike Schreck are men, tioned as the g1adiators who will furnish amusement for a Goldfeld holiday.
 Jack Twin Sullivan and his broth CT Mike, have left the classic pre- cincts of Boston and are again in the wild and woody, the former having been matched to fight ten rounds with Jim Flynn before the Denver A C.. next Friday night. Both men have bone to pick as a result of a previous battle and are reported to be anxious to settle their difference of opinion as to which is the better man. In the two former meetings, Flynn won the decision in the first and the second was a twenty-round draw.
 Five clubs will be granted li- censes to pull off limited, no~decis- ion boxing bouts in Chicago during the coming winter. This revival of the game, by permission of Mayor Busse, has aroused great enthusi- asm in the Windy City and will like 1 ly result in arrangements for sey- eral stiff contests during the next l few months.

Mrs. Perry Has Same Story to Tell at Each City and Gathers In Much Wampum and Grub.
Special to Review.)

PHOENIX, June S.-Having worked the people of Yuma, just as she did those of rnoenix, Mrs. Lydia Perry, who passed through this city from Beaumont, Tex, on her vast few days ago, is now on the Colorado desert on her way from Yuma to Los Angeles.
 When she reached Phoenix, with out means and with two hungry chil- dren, Mrs. Perry told a pitiful story about her husband having been killed in Texas and her funds exhausted while her children were in quaran- tine at Abilene, Texas, because of scarlet fever, asking the board of su- peryisors to help her
 So woeful was the story told by the woman and so evident was her distress that the Associated Chari- ties, through Miss Gilchrist, gave her money and provisions enough to last her until she reached Yuma She was profuse in her thanks to those who helped her, and there was no doubt that her story was genuine. The first intimation that Mrs. Per. " might no be all she represented herself to be came when she reached
 Buckeye on her way to Yuma. She told the same story there. and re ceived some help. She had hardly passed through when another wagon carrying two strong men, a woman
 and two grown boys, followed in hel wake
 Now comes the story from Yuma that Mrs. Perry has no relatives in
 Yuma. While in Phoenix she said
 that her parents, Mir. and Mrs. John
 smith, lived nxy Yuma. and that she was trying to. reach them. having
 been promised a home when she got there
 l In Yuma, Mrs. Perry made no men tion of her parents, but told a heart rending tate about being on her way
 to Los Angeles. She was given s14
 in cash and plenty of provisions. Hay. l ing gotten all she could, the woman
 crossed the Colorado river in a ferry
 boat. and started on a 225-mile over. land trip to Los Angeles. With her
 were the same members of the party who were seen in Buckeye. In the light of developments, Mrs. Perry is working towns along the route through aroused sympathy for herself and companions, including the two strong men, living off the proceeds of her begging.

At least a thousand watermeions were brought to town and sold to dealers during the past week The melons are large and finely favored. Yuma, ou the Colorado, and the I'm periai valley in California will have to wake up if they are to get ahead of Tucson in producing early melons.
 Chief of Police Hopley is on the lookout for a Nebraskan couple who have eloped from that state and are said to be headed for Tucson. The chief received a letter from an irate farmer, who is willing to pay $25 to locate the elopers. The girl is de- scTibed as a good dresser and wears a cowboy hat. She eioped with a sheepherder and they are headed for Arizony."

adobe and stone houses began to fall
 Several were razed to the ground
 Consternation reigned and the people of the settlement were terror-strieken. Every one that could rushed up the mountain sides. A considerable dam age was done and the colony feels the loss keenly, as only a year ago disastrous flood swept the whole town away. The people are just re gaining their former status and now an earthquake causes another disas- ter. The shake was felt all over that district as reports from most of the mining camps indicate. Aside from the loss at Colonia Morales, no serious damage has been reported. These tire mors were felt at the San Bernardino ranch and other points along the line.

ExTRAvAGANcE IN TOILETS.
Women Spend $4,000 Year on Per.
fumes, Face Powders, Etc.
From the washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Five thousand dollars a year is the sum
that a considerable number of women in
New York spend for face creams, lotions
perfumes, bath and toilet powders, ac-
cordlng to a druggist, who has a smart
clientele.
Yes said he. Il Know off hand of at
least twenty women who spend fully 5000
a year on toilet articles, such as per-
fumes, face creams, tonics, toilet and
bath powders, and this is entirely eXclu-
sive of toilet articles, such as powder
boxes, bath sponges, manicure articles
etc
This may sound like an exaggeration,
but when | tell you that we have per-
fume costing $50 a bottle that is bought
by rich women by the dozen bottles and
that powders. both bath and toilet with
the same scent are equally costly. you
can perhaps see how so much money
could be spent in this way.
you saw that woman who just went
ont of here?" pointing to a black CARRIED
person. THAT is the maid of one of my
richest customers. She just now ordered
$3.50 worth OF toilet things to take south
with her
For instance, there was in the order
two pint bottles of fine toilet water cost
ing $25 each; two pounds of bath powder
at the same price, and two half pint bot
ties of extract, all of which came to Si50.
Besides which there was bath sponge
at S25, with face creams and unguents,

ANIMALS JAGS.
Man Not Alone In His Fondness for
intoxicating Liquors.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Man is not the only animal fond of
Intoxicating liquors. Birds, Insects, even
fishes, have been known to become drunk
ards at suitable opportunity.
A most remarkable case of bird inebria-
ton occurred during the course of hom-
ing pigeon contest in France. Four hun
bred and twenty-nine bircs were taken
from the Tours to La Bohalle, and the
toss took place at the latter town. Out
of all this lot only forty birds found
the way home; the others were too drunk.
At first the owners of the pigeons We're

dribbed in home in decidedly drunken
condition. They were in shocking state
of inebration but they gave a clew

1T is productive OF some funny episodes
