MORRIS LEVY MATCHES
HYLAND and THOMPSON
Lightweight L Boxers Will
Meet at Dreanland
in March
BY r. A. Sr11yth

Norris Levy has at last broken the
Ice and has matched Dick Hyland and
Cyclone Thompson to fight in this city
next month. He has been assured that
| there is nothing to fear at Sacramento,
/ the Legislators not taking the Hart
man antiboxing bill seriously Thomp-
| son has taken the worst of the
match, as he has agreed , to meet
Hyland atlas pounds ringside, a figure
which 1t is expected he will find hard
to make.
While he is not tall, he is -boned
ana broad-shouldered and carries but
little SuperhuouS flesh. He would have
| been able to make a much better show
ing If allowed to weigh the customary
three hours before being asked to fight.
Thompsons easy defeat of Rufe Turner
shows he will be hard man to beat
in twenty-round fight The boxers
have met twice before, Hyland winning
one fight and losing the other on q
foul.

Willie Britt has not cIinched the
match at Reno with Young Corbett, and
seems in no hurry to do so. Apparently
he thinks the match, or one with Cans
can be put on here, and that it would
draw large attendance. There is a
slight hitch at the Reno end of the
match, as KohPs partner died some
days since, and the partnership ac-
counts are being adjusted. 1t is pos
sible Kohl will be left in the same pre-
dicament as Mike Riley. His backing
being withdrawn, he may not be able
to finance the proposition unaided. He
would jump at the chance of the men
fighting for a percentage, as that would
relieve him of the bulk of the risk
which he would assume If he guaran-
teed a purse of $4,000

is advertising Jack Mclaughlin as an

effort will be made to find a substitute
for him. If this fails a new match will

Joke on House Member.

One of the jokes of the season is
on Mullaley. Tuesday afternoon,
when the house was discussing the
bill prohibiting lewd persons from
voting, an opportunity was given
all the lady clerks and guests to
leave the room, which they did
precipitately. Just as the discus
sion was at it's height and Mulalley
was giving his views on the subject
in unvarnished terms, a bevy of
girls came trooping up the stairs
into the house gallery. Mulalley
stopped and called for the sergeant
at arms to ask the girls to leave.
The sergeant started out on his
mission, but he came back with a
broad smile. 1t developed that the
girls were from the state deaf and
dumb school. Statesman.

"On Wednesday, Feb. 70, a
number of neighbors gathered at
the home of D. R. Williamson and
in a good-natured way proceeded
to take charge of the farm. No
one seemed disposed to interfere as
they were unloading extra tables
and chairs with baskets and dish

Many Tons OF Valuable Diamonds.

Like ali precious metals and stones,
the Unit OF weight usually empioyeu IN
regard to diamonds is the carat, OF
which l0112 go to make up sIngIe
ounce. 70 Iuluk OF SACKS OF diamonds
ny the ton suaggers the imagination;
indeed, the average annual output or
the Kimberly mines rs not more tnan
nalI a ton all told
statistics have been published re-
Gently at Cape Town giving the output
for several years past of the Kimberly
mines and the river diggings. These
yielded in the three years 1903 to 1905
nearly 7,25O,O00 carats, say ton and
half. The monetary value of these
diamonds was ETA 100000. Since the
fist diamond was discovered by the
banks of the aal in 1867 down to the
end of 1906 it is estimated that the to-
tai weight OF diamonds extracted from
the Griqualand mines is over thirteen
and half tons, of a market value of
fully E95, 100000.
If statistics of this sort can be
truste and in the case of the South
African yield they closely approximate
to the facts-only seventeen tons of
diamonds had been mined all over the
world to the end of 1901. With the
same relative output since that year
from Brazil and India the world out
put of diamonds is now more than
twenty tons.
The figure seems small, considering
the ages diamonds have been worked
in India and elsewhere in the East,
and must be largely guesswork with
respect to the output in antiquity. 1t
is, however, certain that more dia-
monds have been placed on the mar
ket in the last forty than in the pre-
vious thousand years. Fall Mall Ga

RoosEVELT's VIRGINIA RESTING
PLACE.

In Albemarle county, Virginia, we
have little place called Pine Knot,
where We sometimes go, taking some
of the children, for three or foui
days outing. 1t is a mile from the
big stock tarm, Plain Dealing, be-
longing to an old friend, Mr.. Joseph
Wilmer. The trees and flowers are
like those of Washington, but. their
general close resemblance to those
Of Long Island is set off by certain
exceptions. There are Usage orange
hedges, and in spring many of the
roads are bordered with bands of the
brilliant yellow blossoms of the flow
ering broom, introduced by Jeeffrson.
There are great willow oaks here and
there in the woods or Pastures, and
occasional groves of noble tulip trees
In the many stretches of forest:
these trees growing to much larger
size than on Long Island. AS at
Washington, among the most plenti-
full flowers are the demure little
Quaker Ladies, which are not found
at Sycamore Hill-where we also
miss such northern forms as the
wake robin and the other trilliums,
which used to be among the charac-
teristic marks of springtinle at AL
bany, At Pine Knot the red bud,
dogwood and laurel are plentiful;
though in the case of the last two are
more so than at Sycamore Hill. The
azalea-its Knickerbocker name In
New York was pinkster--grows and
howers far more luxuriantly than on
Long Island. The moccasin flower
and the china blue Virginia cowslip
with its pale pink buds, the blood
red Indian pink, the painted column
bine, and many, many other flowers
somewhat less snowy, carpet the
woods. The birds are, of course, for
the most part the same as on Long
Island, but with some differences.
These differences are, in part, due to
the more southern locality; but in
part | cannot explain them, for birds
will often be absent from one place
seemingly without any real reason.

siderable shrinkage among the dealers.
'only 1856 having applied for registra-
'tion.
Visiting automobiles from other
states are being caused no little trou-
bit by an Interpretation of the law
made by the highway commission
relative to licenses for professional
.chauffeurs. The law specifies that
ANY automobile or motor cycle owned
by nonresident of this state who
has complied with the laws relative to
motor vehicles and the operations
,rereof of the state in which he re-
sides may be operated by such owner
on the roads and highways of this
state for period not exceeding seven
days without the license, certificate of
r Sistration and number plates fur
nished by the Massachusetts, highway
commission"
The professional chauffeur is not
mentioned, so a strict Interpretation
the law requires that an owner upon
entering the state must take the wheel
himself and run his car until his chauf-
feur can be regularly examined by the
highway commission, and if found
qualified, granted a dicense. To own
iers of cars who do not know how to
operate their machines and who have
relied upon their chauffeurs entirely
while passing through Massachusetts
on tour or entering the state, this
Interpretation has been hardship,
though the commission has endeavored
in cases which have come to its notice,
to provide every possible facility for
the speedy examination of the chauf-
feur.

New York,s Bad Boy School.

The new truant school for the bad
boys of greater New York constitutes
notable plan and departure that is
worth telling about. 1t Is called the
Parental Farm, is located between
Flushing and Jamaica, and will be
ready for start by the advent of the
new ear. In this farm, designed for
the reclamation of hayward youth,
there are some 107 acres, and about
100000 has already been spent on its
purchase and equipment. At the start
there will be an administration build
ing, power house and three dormito-
ries, with room for something over
200 Toys; but the plan includes TWEEN
ty-eight buildings all told, as dormito-
ries and workshops are to be added
as the number of boys sent to the
school increases. The boys commit
ted to it for refusal to attend the pub
lie schools will receive a mechanical
and trade training, and they will do
much of the work of the farm, in adj
dition to instruction from books. In
this way the influence of hard work
amid cheerful and well ordered sur
roundings will offer a rational new
start to boys who have begun to go
wrong. The theory upon which the
new truant school is to be developed
is that it is cheaper to make gocd
citizens by this means than it is to
build jails for criminals and aims
houses and asylums for the defective.
The movement is therefore in the line
of constructive craftsmanship, and
bids fair 20 work out excellent results.

hneir CONVICTIONS.
Pail Mall Gazette. now we
nave schoolgirls revolt! There is in
ICettinie an excellent college for girls,
founded by the Czaritza Maria Alex-
androvna, supplied with Russian money
and Russian teachers. It has six
classes. the sixth one being the finish
ing one. In the room of that class
hung photograph of. Prince Niebo-
las in gilt frame The "aan.shin0
girls held a political meeting in that
room. It happened that the fathers
and brothers of most of these girls
have inscribed themselves in the reg
listers of the new national democratic
party as members. and thereby pro
voked rather sharp criticism and con
domination on the part of the prince.
The girls sat in Judgment on him.
They found that he called their fathers
and brothers the traitors" for no
other reason than that trey were
Democrats, opposed to the autocratic
regime; they found further that the
prince was against the parliamentary
regime, and therefore was not worthy
to adorn with his photograph the
schoolroom of the modern Montene-
CRIME girls. They took down the CON
demned photograph and tore it, amid
enthusiastic screams in a thousand
pieces and danced over their victim.
The screams and the tumult brought
to the room the Russian mistress of
the school, to whom the girls explained
what had taken place and why. The
government ordered Yanko Angelat,
the chief of detectives, and as such
the most unpopular person in Monte
negro, to investigate the matter.
When this formidable person arrived
at the school he was surprised to see
thirty girls waiting for him in their
best dresses, and solemnly presenting
Ito him bouquet of roses. AS a clever
detective and a polite man, he was
pleased at the attention, thanked the
girls and raised the bouquet to dis
nose to inhale its perfume. He, how
ever, could notgive adequate express
sion to his admiration, because vio-
lent sneezing attacked him, and shook
him badly. As the sneezing would not
cease, tears came to the police inves-
tigator's eyes, and as the dignifed
Angelat as evidently losing his tenn
per, and thereby his dignity, too, the
girls very charitably advised him to go
at once to the hospital and let his nose
be cut off that it should cease to be
put into other peoples concerns at Get
TIME The government is angry, but
the people, and even the prince, are
laughing heartily.

IssEN INFLUENCE IN ENGLAND.


The Ibsen lesson was speedily APP
pretended by severay English play
wrights, though l do not agree with
those who read Ibsen into every play
of Mr.. Pinero. Whatever else he is
Ibsen is first poet, and poet-like he has
strengthened his work by the artistic
use of the symbol. Mr.. Pinero Is
man of intellect, of frst-rate talent,
but he is not a poet. Luckily he
knows this. There are Ibsen passages
in The Second Mrs. Tanqueray. in Iris
and in that rather futile piece, The
Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith. But that
is all. A general. CONCESSION in the
technique and a selection of subjects
in sober middle class life may be set
down to Ibsen's permeating influence
for example, Pineros best comedy,
The Benefit of the Doubt, is as caus tic
as Tbsen in its depletion of the bour.

Mr.. Pinero's. Mr.. Jones admires the
moral earnestness of Ibsen, for he is
a morally earnest playwright himself.

late upon in this gallery. He is all
for Ibsen, though he has admitted that

may hardly ;caviI at this-he is GER
tainly more amusing than the grim
skald of Brand. Nevertheless, Shaw
is Of the Ibsen breed, plus Hibernian

THE MOTORISTS IDEAL

Are you. swiftly shooting star,
But the headlight on the car
OF some airship i its flight,
Dashing thus along at night?
Is there nothing in your way
No policeman there who may
Stop you when you this exceed
Every known legal speed?
'If there's not. and you were mine,
Many a fine. hilarious time
Il should have behind you there,
Sailing gayly through the air.
But when you go out of sight,
Leaving ms ught but blacklist night
Where your brightness last was seen
Does that mean the gasoline
is all gone, and you'll be there
Till some one with some to spare
Happens on that lonely route
Where erStwhile saw you shoot.
But where now you seem to be
Stranded midst that cloud l see?

How to Reduce the Cost of Living

How TO Reduce the Cost of Living,
The cost OF living is high and go
ing higher. Rut everybody can reg
ulate the amount of money necessary
to spend for sustenance. There is
no reason why persons should find it
more expensive to live. if they will
only consider the question with care
and fix the amount of food they ought
to eat.
We do not advocate the method
adopted by twelve hundred people OF
Kennebec county, Maine, who have
pledged themselves to abstain for
ten days from the use of meat, in the
hope that thus they may be able TO
force down the price of besf Bu$
there is no doubt that most persons
eat two or three times as much food
of all kinds as is necessary for them,
and a reduction in diet would have
good effect, not only upon the bills
one has to pay but also upon health.
If food is too high, then consume
less of it. That is simple rule for
comfort, both Of mind and body. The
average man and woman eat so much
more than is essential that seven
tenths of all diseases with which hui
mainly is afflicted are due to this
excess. The paInch to be seen on
almost every man over forty. no
matter how lean the rest Of him may
be, is evidence OF oyereating: and
the fact that many women OF the
same age are much heavier than they
should be proves their lack Of self
restraint
