FITz SHOWS KNOCKOUT PUNCH.
Ruby Robert Gives Demonstration
Much to His Sorrow.

Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons is al
ways ready and willing to illustrate
before sporting men just how he
knocked Jim Corbett out at Carson
City with his memorable solar plexus
punch. Not so many years ago his
former manager Percy Williams, now
well.known theatrical masnate,

F1tz jumped about. feinting and
sparring off like a real fighter. Then
Robert shot out his terrible left and
hit the mark with crash. 1t sounded
like a blow on a board fence with a
sledge hammer, and, though Williams
was knocked down. he jumped up
quickly and laughed until his sides
shook. Fftz was dancing around on
one foot, with his left hand under his
arm and a look of intense pain on his
face.

Percy Williams. who was next to the
trick.

Talented German Empress.

Empress Augusta Victoria is a thor.
oughly womanly woman, but she is by no
means the mere hausfrau that she Is
often supposed to be. In fact. she
has decidedly artistic tastes and is
sculptor and painter of no mean
ability. In her husbands study at
Potsdam there is a lifelike bust OF
the emperor in bronze and several
of her sons have been portrayed by
her In marble. Her majesty is very
fond OF beautiful fans and she has
some valuable specimens of them.
Many we're gifts from the emperor,
and one was made of feathers of the
grouse that fell to his gun. Some
others, beautifully painted, bear the
signatures OF great artists.

The Ohio Primary.

Though Ohio's primary Endorsement
of Taft was not so loud as to create
furore outside the state, it's unanimity
leaves nothing to be desired by the
supporters of the war secretary's
pr ,,dentiAl aspirations. The prima
ries Tuesday merely gave definite ex-
preston to what practically all in the
state fully understood months ago,
that between Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Fora
kerr Ohio Republicans would not hesi-
tate to choose the former to, carry
their national standard next fall. In
the contest that will end In the State
Convention, the Taft men have the
very great advantage of controlling
the election machinery. This gave
them the power to call and hold the
kind of primary best suited to their
purpose, and made them deaf to the
protests from those who might con-
slider themselves aggrieved. With
this advantage possessed by the Taft
forces, only a great popular wave
in favor of Mr.. Foraker could have
secured him control of the State Con-
veution. That no such wave could,
or is ever likely to sweep over Ohio,
any observer of recent political events
Ia the state will readily understand.
1t could have made no difference in
the result, however, had Mr. Foraker
controlled the state election machin.
cry. Ohio Repuol cans want Secre-
tdry Taft nominated at Chicago, and,
regardless of the means adobted to
register the state opinion, they would
nave made their desires known. MIR.
Foraker has committed too many
errors, from the standpoint of the
dominant element of his party, to
rally ever again the masses to his
call. 1t IL evident that If Mr.. Fora
ker Is returned to the United States
senate 1t will be purely aud simply on
the sufferance of his victorious oppo-
nent. The value of the recent prima-
ry to the Taft men lies in the story
1t tells to the country outside the
state. Politicians elsewhere who have
been inclined to delay embracing the
Taft movement until 1t became clear
that the secretary had his own state
behind him, will no longer have that
excuse. The steps of the Taft band
wagon are wider and more inviting
than ever before, and the vehicle will
have full passenger list.
Scarcely creditable 1t seems thar
Mr.. Foraker can seriously consider
the holding of a mass state conven-
tion to select protesting delegation
to Chicago. Those who have long
believed in the political sagacity of
the senior senator will not credit the
Washington dispatches in putting to
him such an intention. Such a pro-
ceeding on his part would be worse
than folly; 1t would be political sui
eide. Mr.. Foraker knows well Ohio
Republicans are for Taft, and good
politics and good sense demand that
he abide by the fate's decree.-Cleve-
