SPORTS
AT THE RING-SIDE.
BY Knox Blockof.

New York. Dec. 16.-Tommy
Burns and Battling Nelson are not
the only fighters who are accumulat-
ing young fortunes out of the fight
ing game. Billy Papke, the one-time
middleweight champion. also has am
bitions to become a puffed-up pluto
crat He has been reaping a harvest
out of the pugilistic profession dur
ing the comparatively short time that
he has been in the ring. and if forced
to retire by the exigencies of circum-
stances, will not be forced to subsist
on a bread and water diet.
Billy is a good bookkeeper. and
Kdopes out that he has made about
$4,000 since he first entered the
ring as a professional. He has not
squandered this income in riotous
living. but still has the major portion
of ii slowed away for the rainy day
tina. sooner or sometimes
sooner-overtakes all exponents of
the manly art of self defense. In Il
recent letter to a New York friend.
| Billy explains his financial status in
the following chaste language:
You asked me in regard to the
amount of money | have made out of
my career as boxer. | will not
itemize it to you, but will give you
the total as near as possible. My en-
llTe earnings since / started III tne
boxing game, for fights. exhibitions
and theatrical engagements, etc,
amount to $69,S54 These figures
are not 5000 either way from right"
According to the pugilistic sooth
sayers and seventh daughters of sew
enth daughters, a dark man is soon
to cross the paths of some of the
present leaders in lightweight circles.
Jack Blackburn, the negro pug, fig
ures in This dope. Blackburn has
been trying for three years to get
matches with the crack light weights.
They told him to make the weight.
He did il for Mesmic but, according
to several experts, he weakened him
self. Blackburn manager says his
man is strong at 1873 pounds. The
only way for him TO demonstrate this
is to take on a lightweight of heal
class.
Blackburn is clever enough to
stand off Battling Nelson and other
topnotchers for six rounds even at
almost any weight. but II is extreme
ly doubtful if he could last ten or
fifteen rounds with the champion at
33 pounds. The negro might weak
en- himself making weight for a few
rounds. But to win "A championship
he must go West and try "A longer
route.

King Edward is said to be the first
English ruler to put his foot on Swed-
ish soil. This is not the only import
ant feature of the visit King Gustaf,
of Sweden, who assembled the throne
only few months ago, should have
called on King Edward first But the
latter broke an ancient rule of Ell
quette and paid an official visit to the
young monarch. The aim of the visit
was to show the Swedes that they
must expect nothing but kindness
from England. 4=
Twenty-eight years ago twelve
year old girl in Okra, Monsteras par
ish, took sick, and passed into coma
t0se condition in which she remained
until few days ago. For twenty
eight years she stayed in bed, being
unable to speak, and taking only food
Of the softest kind. The surprise of
her relatives was great when they
went into her room one day and found
her standing on the floor and able to
speak. She is weak, but her memory
is good and she seems to be on the
way to a complete recovery.
A freight train was .derailed near
Borlange, on the Bergslag railway.
Eighteen cars were thrown of the
track, and sixteen of them were splin-
tered. The track was torn up for a
distance of 625 feet. The accident
was caused by a broken axle. Wheels
were broken and axles bent, and the
freight-coal, iron and paper-was
mixed into a formless mass. Nobody
was injured. A brakeman on one of
the derailed cars managed to get
away before his car plunged down the
embankment. The damage exceeded
$4,000.
There has been evident flirtatious
tendency in Copenhagen with Berlin
as it's objective. This led King Ed
ward while in Copenhagen to make
the remark to a Danish political lead
er that, if Denmark wanted peace, 1t
was necessary to act in such way
that no suspicion would be aroused.
King Edwards words were far from
sensational as to their form and the
way they we're spoken. But the whole
nation realized their vast significance
as soon as they were put in their
| proper light.

PUBLIC SERVICES
BIG BOND ISSUE
NOT FOR MARKET
OF the $5O,OOO,O 900 Raised
Heavy Sum Will Go to
Make improvements.

The board of directors of the Public
Service Corporation is in session this
afternoon, for the purpose of recon-
mending a bond issue of $50, 200, 900. This
will enable the corporation to retire all
outstanding certificates issued when the
gas, electric Ind trolley interests were
acquired.
OF the new issue. fully one-half, 1t is
said, has already been u~nderwritten by
the United Gas and Improvement Cor
poration of Philadelphia, which is heav-
lily interested in the Public Service, and
of which Chief Engineer Roberts, of the
U. G. L., is first vice-president. The
new bond proposition will be favorably
acted upon by the directors and then
submitted to the stockholders for final
decision.
None of the new bonds likely will be
placed on the market, and with the adj
ditional capital thus guaranteed further
improvements will be made In its allied
interests by the corporation.
