The man agement to the end was singularly suc- cessful The fact that these valuable of- ficers left civil positions under the old government to come to the new is most excellent testimony to tho high respecta- bility of the latter.
 MT Reagan Is most pronounced In fs confidence in the capacity of President Davis. He knew all the leading men of Texas, he says. He knew several pres idents of the United States and many leading men of the United States, before and after the fall of the Confectionery and taking into view the combined ele- ments of character and ability, l regard him as the ablest man l have known"
 Reagan was captured by United States cavalry while he was in camp with MT. Davis, in Georgia, In the spring of l665. IIo suffered Imprisonment for several months at the north. Returning to Texas to find his property destroyed by the in- vader, he settled on n small farm, work ing it with his own hands. He drove his farm wagon, loaded with tools to be re- paired, to the village one day, and there met General Hood He told Hood ne
 
 respectfully. The general promptly re- piled: I'm going anyhow" He went, and the two passed couple of days re- counting the events of the mighty tras- edy-the life of the fallen Confectionery.
 MT. Reagan was elected successively 10 each branch of the Congress of the United States after the war. In the Senate ne framed the act creating the federa9raii- road commission and led q hard fight for it. The state of Texas amended its con- stitution and elected him president of the railroad commission thus established. He resigned from the Senate to accept and hold this office for more than eleven years. He led in important railroad re- forms in Texas.

PARTED FRIENDS.

By James Montgomery. Friend after friend departs;
 Who hath not lost a friend? There Is no union here of hearts
 That finds not here an end; Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying. none were blest. Beyond the flight of time.
 Beyond this vale of death. There surely is some blessed cline
 Where life Is not a breath, Nor life's affections transient fire, Whose sparks fly upward to expire. There is q world above.
 Where parting is unknown; A whole eternity of love,
 Formed for the good alone: Aid faith beholds the dying here Translated to that happier sphere. Thus star by star declines.
 Till all are passed away. AS morning high and higher shines.
 To pure and perfect day; Nor sink those stars in empty night: They hide themselves in Heavens owl
 light.

LET US BE DRUNK.

By William E. Henley. Let us be drunk, and for while forget. Forget. and, ceasing even from regret, Live without reason and despite of rhyme; As in a dream preposterous and sublime, Where place and hour and means for
 once are met. Where is the use of effort? Love and
 debt And disappointment have us In a net. Let us break out and taste the morning prime.
 Let us be drunk. In vain our little hour we strut and fret And mouth our wretched parts as Tor a
 bet; We cannot please the tragicaster Time, To gain the crystal sphere, the silver
 cline, Where Sympathy sits dlmpling on us yet.
 Let us be drunk.

.CURLEY WILL MATCH
Two Of Them Go Together in
Minneapolis on March 10
in Ring.

A fight on March IS between Curly
Ullrich of Superior and Curly Sipples
of Buffalo is scheduled before Minne-
apolis athletic club, and the match is
as good as made. Both fighters have
signified their intention and willing
ness to get together on that date. The
bout should prove a great drawing
card, and many head of the lake fight
fans will go to the Flour City to see
this match.
An odd thing about the fighters is
that the nom de plume of both are the
same and they are the only two fight
ers of any note who go by the name
Curly" The Buffalo boy has a great
prestige in his home town and has &C.
quired something of national reputa-
ton. He recently fought Jimmy Potts,
rival OF Ullrich's, and some of the
reports of the fight stated that the only
thing that saved Potts from losing was
the fact that the fight took place in
Minneapolis. Some even said that Sip
pies had the Minneapolis man out
classed from start to finish.
II Ullrich can take the measure OF
the Buffalo boy it will conclusively
prove his superiority over the pride
of Minneapolis" Potts, who seems TO
consistently dodge a match with the
Superior boy since the now famous
"oil of mustard" match.

JIMMY BRITT WANTS 70 SEE
CASH BEFORE SIGNING UP

San Francisco, Mar. lift Promot-
er Kohl of Reno makes good a $4,000
purse, which offer, it is stated on the
authority of Harry Pollock, has been
made, Jimmy Britt will fight Young
Corbett on March 25. But Kohl will
have to put up $4,000 deposit with
responsible parties as proof of his
good intentions.
That is as far as the match making
proclivities of Pollok have proceeded.
Willie Britt, who seems to have taken
over the management Of Brother JIM
my, announces that he is from Mis-
souri, and while he will tell you, "far
be it from me to cast any reflection
on the Nevada fight game" all the
same he wants to see the cash. The
Britt-Young Corbett match is far from
consummated. Willis and Pollok have
had a couple of talking spells and
Pollok spoke grandly of big purses.
The money is yet to be forthcolline.
When it arrives Britt will not be able
to get hold of pen fast enough, as
he wants share of that money.
If the purse is really forthcoming,
the prize is to be divided 60 and 40
per cent, and the fighters are to make
1873 pounds six hours before the con-
test. These conditions have not been
reduced to writing, but, as a means
of killing time while waiting for the
Kohl bank roll to arrive, Willie Britt

style to the eighteen-inch, one shot
in, is far cry, and the little Dutch
man has been the pioneer in all. For
years the wizard held his own against
all contenders, Frank Ives being the
only one among the oldtimers who
caused the champion to sit up and
take notice. The premature death of
Ives again placed Wizard Jake" in
a class by himself and he increased
the balk to eighteen inch, two shots
in, and later to the modern 1871 style
of game.
Then came the new bunch of con-
tenders for championship honors,
with George Slosson, George Sutton
and Willie Hoppe in the forefront,
and the veteran Schaefer has for a
time been compelled to take back
seat. Sutton now holds both the 1872
and the 1871 titles, having won the
first from George Slosson and sue
cessfully defended it against Ora
Morningstar, and the latter from VIII.
lie Hoppe, who forfeited the title to
Sutton in order to accept an offer to
play in Europe.
A 5000 point match has been ar
ranged between Schaefer and Sutton,
to be played after this weeks match
for the worlds championship. The
original plan Of having the games
played in six different cities will like
ly be abandoned, and three of the
games will be played here and three
in Chicago.
Rhodes.Donovan Battle.
Billy Rhodes, the Missouri scrapper
who has been fighting in the middle
west for some years, will go up
against Mike Donovan, the Rochester
middleweight, in a fifteen round battle
before the Portland, Me-, Athletic
club this evening. The only other
bouts of importance scheduled for the
fore part of the week are the Billy
Ryan-Pete Dougherty match at Will
kesbarre, Penn, this evening and the
Joe Galligan-Jack Purtell contest at
Davenport, Ia, tomorrow night. The
former will go six rounds and the
latter fifteen rounds. None of them
are of sufficient interest to cause the
fight fans to haunt Park row for the
returns.
Not Yet, But Soon.
Bill Squires, the Australian wonder,
is scheduled to arrive in San Fran
cisco tomorrow. A glorious reception
has been prepared for him and the
only thing to mar the happiness OF
the occasion is the fact that Bill wont
arrive. He was reported to have left
for America Feb. 10 on the Ventura,
but according to a cable from Mel
bourne he is still in Australia, but
will leave today. If this is correct
the coal digger from Newcastle should
blow into the Golden gate somewhere
around about All Fools day. Happy
omen.

PICKING WIZARD
JAKE FOR A
winner
:
"Knox Blokoff" Has Some.
thing to Say About Sport
ing Events.
NV Knox Blokof)

New York, Mar. 11.-New York de-
voices Of the green-topped table are
backing Wizard Jake" Schaefer to
win the 1871 title from George Sutton
in the worlds championship match
scheduled to begin at Orchestra hall
in Chicago tonight. Because of his
consummate ability as nurser, SUIT
ton is admittedly the best man at the
1872 game in the country, fact which
George Slosson and Ora Morningstar.
The game restricting the players to
one shot in balk requires more open
table work and less nursing, and it
is on that fact that the billiard dop-
lists of Gotham are putting up their
money on Schaefer. A New York bill
lard expert, who has witnessed many
games in which both contestants fig
ured, declares that Schaefer may be
expected to count eight or nine points
in the middle of the table to Sutton's
four or fivesa great advantage IL the
dope is correct.
The only thing that is worrying the
hackers of the wizard is the fear that
he is not in the best of condition for
the match with the clever Chicagoan.
For the last two years Schaefer has
not been playing the phenomenal bill
lizards that he once exhibited, show
ing only occasional and transient
flashes Of his old time form. He has
informed his admirers that he is now
in the pink Of condition again and
this being the case. it is difficult to
see where Sutton will have anything
on him at the 1871 style Of game.
Whether Wizard Jake" again takes
his place as the great master of the
cue or it relegated to the ranks of
the down and out club, he will always
occupy the place Of honor in the
hearts and memories Of the American
lovers of the game with which his
name is inseparately connected. SUIT
ton. Slosson, Hoppe. Vigneaux and
the lamented Ives have had their day
OF fame, but the wizard German will
be remembered when they are forgot
ten. Almost every advance in the
style of play has been inaugurated
by Schaefer. From the old straight
rail game and the six-inch balk line
