TRUNK OF MONEY CAPTURED.
A trunk which was left behind on

The unrest which ended in the
open eyolt of the residents Of Port

barred himself within the palace, One
of the leaders in this movement
charged that the American minister

GREAT FIGHT
OCCURS TONIGHT
Will Tommy Burns, the American Heavy Weight Champion
Put Jack Palmer, the Engishman, out Of Business?
Interest is Intense--Ihe Yankee the Favonte

he could hardly make 154 pounds at
the ringside now. Sullivan pounded
Palmer wickedly for ten rounds and
beat him decisively. This was the
end of Palmer's championship aspir-
atoms on the other side. He could
not have obtained a match with any
fighter of note, even If he had made
the effort.
81 have watched Palmer at his
boxing practice several times since
his return home and he has improved
wonderfully, though he was never
the poor boxer that American critics
made him out to be. There are
many excuses to be offered for his
poor showing on that occasion. He
made a trip of some seven thousand
miles or more to meet a well-trained
fighter under conditions absolutely
strange to him. The climate on the
west coast of the United States is the
most peculiar in the world and it
sometimes takes months, especially
for an athlete to become acclimated.
Palmer made the long trip into
this enervating climate and landed
on the scene of the combat only five
days before the day set for battle.
What little time he had to train prob
ably did him more harm than good.
At any rate, he was certainly far be-
low his best form in that mill.
This does not explain his defeat
at the hands of Moir, but there is
word to be said on that point. AS
said, have watched Palmer's work
since his return from America, and
| note decided Improvement in his
skill. The Americans, apparently.
have no little men who are the mas
ters of ours in boxing, but their big
fighters can certainly teach us. The
old-fashioned heavy style of fighting
will not prevail against the American
heavyweights. They fight in much
the same style as do their little men.
They are wonderfully fast for their
weight, and when pitted against a
strong, heavy foe. they know how to
wear and worry him. The American
critics were loud in their praises of
his "gameness" after his fight with
Sullivan. He can also think. He
observed and profited by many
things in his fight with Sullivan. and
he has certainly improved to a re
markable degree. l watched him box
| the other day and his work surprised
me. He has picked up many of the
American tricks that make for the
prowess of the Yankees"

London, Feb. 10.-Despite the fact
that Tommy Burns, the American
heavyweight champion, is to 1
fayorite over Jack Palmer, whom he
will meet tonight at Wonderland, the
greatest interest is manifested in the
battle among London sports. 1t is
likely that when the men enter the
ring tonight they will be greeted by
one of the largest crowds ever con-
gregated about a London prize ring.
Seats are selling rapidly at $26.25
for reserved seats, $15.75 for stage
seats, $10.50 for gallery seats. Won
derland is the second National Sport
ing club of the English metropolis
and the only club where tickets are
sold at the door.
Burns is confident of winning an
easy victory over Palmer and has Of
fered to wager. any amount on the
result of the battle at any reasonable
odds. Very little Palmer money is in
sight. Among the rank and file of
English sports. Palmer's stock has
gone down considerably since the
poor showing he made against Bob
by Dobbs. the colored American
fighter, whom he fought a few weeks
ago. Dobbs is admittedly a third
rater. yet Palmer had all he could do
to get the decision in six round
mill. Many experts declare that
Palmer will do well to last five
rounds with Burns. There will prob
ably be less money wagered on the
battle than any international contest
between heavies that has ever taken
place in England.
At the rate seats are selling, the
winner should make good thing of
the battle. as so per cent. of the re-
ceipts will go to the fighters, divided
75 and rs. There is also side bet
of $4,000 on the mill, which should
be easy picking for the American.
While the opinion is almost gen.
eral that Burns will win easily, there
are few experts on the game who
profess to believe that Palmer has a
chance to get away with the big end
of the purse. One of the most prom
inent men in London pugilistic cir
cles shares this opinion and gives his
reasons in the following language:
early last year Palmer made the
trip across to the States. and there
on the Western coast met JacR
(Twin) Sullivan, an American who
has but little more poundage than {
middleweight. Indeed, he Is classet
as a fighter of that division, though

LAUNDRY NOTES.

Javelle Water for Removal of Stains.
One of the best chemical reagents
to be used in the laundry and for
cleaning purposes generally, is jaw
ellie water. 1t can be very easily
made ut home, II the following direc-
tions are carefully followed, and is
not in the least expensive:
How Made.
Dissolve one pound of washing
soda in an agate kettle or stone jar,
in quart of boiling water. Dissolve
one-half pound of chloride of lime in
two quarts of cold water. When the
dissolved portion has settled, care
fully pour the clear liquid into the
dissolved soda. Bottle and keep in a
cool. dark place.
Kinds OF Stains.
Stains which bother in the laundry
are of three kinds. 1. e., those caused
by vegetable growth, those from act
ual chemical compounds, and those
caused by a deposit of small, solid
particles.
Mildew is perhaps the stain which
puzzles the housekeeper the most. 1t
is the most common type caused by
vegetable growth. When this stain
is examined under the microscope,
one can see a network of tiny ten
drills which cannot be seen without
the aid of the microscope. On the
ends of some of these tendrils can be
seen small cup-shaped organs which
hold small seeds or spores, which
scatter over the cloth and start new
plants. This is the way the mildew
stains spread all through a garment.
These little tendrils will, If given
time. find their way through many
layers of the material.
Oxygen will destroy the mildew
plant, but it will thrive in a damp,
warm place. To remove mildew from
a garment, first give it thorough
airing and then place in boiling
water. After it has been placed in
boiling water, the character of the
stain is changed and it Is now Il
chemical compound, for the mold has
produced dye. A bleaching process
has to be resorted to now to remove
the stain. Soak the garment in equal
quantities of hot water and javelle
water until the stain disappears:
then rinse in water to which a little
ammonia has been added.
In most all processes of bleaching
an acid is formed which will weaken
the fibers of the cloth and, if very
strong, will destroy them, unless
quickly neutralized by an alkali.
Ammonia or washing soda solution
are the best to use for this purpose.

On the boat being put off it was
found that the raft contained two
dead bodies. One was a woman ly-
ing on her back lying her arms
stretched out and the. other a man
placed over her. They were crucified
to each other by huge nails which
passed through their hands and an
kles. The woman's mouth was sewn
up, but they both had their eyes wide
open, with an expression of untold
agony and terror in them. The wall
ing came from a tiny baby in the last
stages of exhaustion, which was
strapped to stake.
The woman wore silk robe, and
was evidently of high station, but
the man wore the dress of an inter-
prefer. Beside the bodies was found
placard stating that the woman had
deceived her husband and that the
man was her lover. Curses were
called down upon any one trying to
rescue them.
The French officers further state
that the raft must have been seen by
hundreds of people on the river
banks, but none had attempted to
rescue these tortured beings nor to
rescue the child. which died two
hours after being taken from the raft
by the French officers.
