sydney, n. s. W., Dec 27.-Jack
Johnson, the big negro from Calves

He won the title yesterday i'm the
big arena at Rusheutter's Bay from
Tommy Burns, the French Canadian,
who had held 1t since James j JEFF
fries relinquished it, and after a
chase of Burns that led half way
around the world.
The end came in the 14th round
when the police, seeing Burns totter-
ing and unable to defend himself
from the savage blows of his oppon-
ent, mercifully stopped the fight.
Previously it had been arranged that
II the police interferred a decision
should be rendered on points. and
Referee Mcintosh declared the big
black man a winner for all through
the fight he had shown himself
Burns master in every style of fight
ing,
Burns in an interview after he had
gone to his dressng-room said:
81 did the best | could and fought
hard. Johnson was too big and his
reach was too great"

Johnson appeared fresh after the
fight. while Burns eyes were badly
puffed and his mouth swollen to
twice its normal size. He fought a
game battle and showed indomitable
pluck. but he was no match for the

Remaining Problems.

AS matters now stand the remain
ing problems to be worked out are to
secure n satisfactory rate on electrical
power and to raise the $4,000 local
money that will be needed in addition
to the $4,000 that will be invested by
the Bishops.
The problem of selling the $4,000
bond issue is not regarded as really
difficult by the local men. With the
amount that has already been pledged
to the enterprise and with the strong
town sentiment in favor of retaining
the mill they believe enough money
will be obtainable.
Regarding power, however, IL is pos
sible there may be trouble. Before
the Bishops insist that they be given
certain rate of horse power per year.
Whether or not such rate can be Sc
cured from the Northwestern Gas g.
Electric company remains to be seen.
But It is believed the company will
be found reasonable in the matter.
Aside from this a new location for
the mill must be secured and an offer
has been made to the o. r. & n. COM
pany for its block at the west end of
Webb street Up to this afternoon no
reply has been received
Following the receipt of the tele-
gram of Acceptance from e. Y. Judd,
Il. c. Taylor wired the news to Roy
Bishop at Salem and the latter will
return to this city within a few days
Among business men there has been
rejoicing today over the successful
completion of the negotiations for the
old mill. They regard the success of
the movement as now certain.

MOSCOW, Ida, July 10.-The

A ThouohtfuI Conductor.

Ignorance often saves much Dispute
tude. Many have heard the story Of
the woman whose first experience in a
railway train ended with an accident.
Thrown from her seat and shaken up
generally, she nevertheless retained
her equanimity. When asked If she
were frightened she replied: Fright
ened No. / didn't know but that was
the way they always stopped" 1t is to
be hoped that the trolley passenger in
Mr.. Howell's anecdote, introduced into
Confessions of a Summer Colonist."
was possessed of the same trust in the
event. The conductor, at least, preserv-
ed his presence of mind Says Mr..
Howells:
II had long expected to see some one
thrown out of the open trolley car at
soma of the short curves. One day a
woman was actually hurled from her
seat into the road. Luckily she alight-
ed on her feet and stood looking about
as IL In daze.
"'Oh, OH exclaimed passenger.
She's left her umbrellal'
'"rhe conductor promptly threw it
out.
"'Why. did that lady wish to get
outY | asked.
''The conductor pondered a moment
before he answered:
"'Weil, she'll want her umbrella any
way.'''

Ruby Glass.

In his book ON ''The World of the
Infinitely SMALL Professor Gruner of
Berne gives an interesting account of
ruby glass. Genuine ruby glass is ex-
Densive, because it is prepared with
gold. 1t owes its color to the presence
throughout its mass of particles of
gold too small to be seen with the
microscope. Only the ultra microscope,
which renders visible objects percepti-
bic by means of their diffusion of light,
Is able to show the existence of these
minute particles. With the ordinary
microscope the glass appears as uni
form transparent mass, but the ultra
microscope shows that it is filled with
points Of light resembling stars ON a
black background. These points in
dictate the presence Of the particles of
gold to which the color of the glass is
due.
