THE PUGILISTS SEND ME TO
 JAIL HE SAID Such Was the Plea of the Once Famous Fighter Lablanche | the Marine.

A mental and physical wreck, George LaBlanche, the pugilistic Marine" who defeated Jack Demp- sey some years ago in California, and who at one time was looked upon as one of the worlds greatest middle weight fighters, the other day in Bos- ton asked Judge Murray of the police court to send him away. LaBlanche had been arrested on a charge of drunkenness. He got ten days at his own request.
 LaBlanche began his fighting ca reer while member of the marine corps, and sprang into fame in the days of the old Cribb club on Avery street, Boston. He was matched to fight Jack Dempsey for the world S championship and stake of $2,5OO subscribed by Boston sports. The men met at secluded spot at Larch- mont, N. Y., when after terrific battle with skin-tight gloves Demp- sey was declared the winner in thir- teen rounds.
 LaBlanche was again matched to fight Dempsey. The battle was held in California. In the thirty-second round LaBlanche knocked out the champion with a pivot blow, which has since been ruled out of the | Queensbery code. That contest was the beginning of the end of Dempsey He fell away, and after his defeat by Fitzsimmons took part in few matches.
 LaBlanche's last fight hereabouts was at the old Kirtland club in Lynn about ten years ago, when he knocked out Billy Hennessy in one round. LaBlanche then drifted down in Maine, and was arrested or a charge of robbery and served 8 term for that offense. Since his re- lease little was heard of him unti he turned up in the Boston court.

 Make your bets on which team will win that cup.
 Every fan in the city who wants to see brilliant finish and who loves base ball should be on hand to-mor- row.
 Two out of every three fans you meet want to see the Pastimes win, and why? Just because the Brook lyns have won 1t so often and the Pastimes have been up second al- most every year, that they want to see the west end boys pull down the victory this time.
 It will be battle of pitchers to- morrow with Slosher on the slab for Brooklyn and Johnny Moran doing the work for the Pastimes. Roger COnnor will be on hand to see his little protege work and perhaps en- coura cement from the big fellow may incite the Pastimes to a victory. If the fans of this city want to dc the square thing by the City league boys tomorrow they will turn out in goodly numbers. Every dollar made goes to the players.

NO EXTRA RIGHTS.
Hunters are Given No Authority to
 Hunt on Posted Lands.

Since the law requiring hunters to have licenses has gone into effect there has arisen a question which is troubling a large number of the farmers in this section of the state.
 Many of the hunters seem to think that the possession of license gives them the right to hunt on any lands they may choose to go upon regard less of the fact that the owners have posted it. forbidding hunting and fishing thereon.
 On several occasions the owners of land have spoken to hunters and called their attention to the fact that they are trespassing only to be shown their licenses with the remark: The state gives us the right to hunt where we please, and guess that's good enough for you."
 The new law does not give anyone the right to hunt on any lands which are posted; it does not give them the right to trespass on any lands in any way, and it plainly states that it con- fers no rights held prior to its pass age.
 The WnOIe matter IS COhSISu III tA0
 first section of the law, wn.,--
 herewith printed:
 Section 1. No person shall hunt, pursue. take. or kill any bird or auadruped protected by law without having first obtained a license as hereinafter provided: provided. that nothing in this act shall be construed as affecting the right of bona fide

 descendants. io hunt without such license on land owned by him or on | land leased 1y him and on which he is actually domiciled. and which land 1 is used exclusively for agricultural purposes. and not for club or shoot ! ing purposes. nor as affecting in any way the provision of the general statutes relating to tTespass, nor az authorizing the pursuit. taking, wounding or killing. or the posses sion of birds or quadrupeds contrary to any laws TOW in force or which may hereafter be enacted. nor shall inc possession of such license grant

-HE friendly spirit In which the
proposed change has been re-
ceived in distant portions of the
State is another remarkable out
come of the agitation. Los Angeles
might well be expected to favor
change. for Los Angeles believes
In changing things on general prin-
ciples and might favor 1t on this
ground alone, without considering the
ease of accessibility Berkeley offers
to Los Angeles and the rest OF tne
south. Again the south figures, in an
amtably superior mood, that the big
doings of the State that do not CEN

San Francisco bay, and that 1t is
pIeasanter to be in the center or Things

Should the capital be removed and a

mating $10.000.o00 would be piled up
against the State. The taxpayers will

The opposition to Sacramento is
based on many grounds. One is the in

Of it's newspapers. The people seem to
regard members of the Legislature and
its attaches as legitimate subjects for
not only sneers, but also for spoil. Peo-
pie who attend the sessions complain
that there Is not frst-class hotel in
the capital city; that everybody in
creases prices on every occasion that is
presented. and that the city is badly
behind the age In many ways. They
also complain that the newspapers rep
resent the members OF the Legislature

space to criticisms OF their acts than
to faithfully reporting them.

TANNING-Old Reader, Auburn, Cal.
The following is given as a method to
tan Sleeps pelts with the hair on.
Wash the pelt In warm water, Remove
all flesh matter from the inner surface;
then clean the wool with soft soap and
wash clean. When the pelt is perfect
ly free from all fatty and oily matter,
apply the following mixture to the
flesh side: For each pelt take common
salt and ground alum. one-quarter of
pound each. and half an ounce of
borax; dissolve the whole in a quart
of hot water, and when sufficiently cool
to bear the hand, add rye meal, to make
1t like thick paste, and spread the mix
ture on the flesh side of the pelt. Fold
the pelt lengthwise and let in remain
two weeks in an airy and shady place;
then remove the paste from the sur
face. wash and dry. When nearly dry,
scrape the flesh side with crescent

than half n century ago it was used for
civic and military displays and recep-

occasion of revisiting America In 1924.
President Jackson. in 1882, and Presi-

cert hall, and 1t was there that Jenny
Lind. the famous Swedish nightingale,

The Immigrant Bureau was established

original structure was partially de-
stroyed by fire.
