ENGLAND LIKES BRITT
Clever Yankee Boxer Has
Made Hit With the
Britishers.
ALSO LIKED IN FRANCE.

Word comes from England that
Jimmy Britt Is just now the boxing
idol in England and France. His cley-
erness in the ring and gentlemanly
manners out of 1t have done much to-
ward making him a big favorite. Lat
est reports have ii that James Edward
will soon match uo with Johnny Sum
mers, the wonderful British light
weight, who has time and again ap
peared in this country. Those who
are under the impression that Britt is
all in will no doubt be surprised to
hear that he has taken new lease
on life. There is no way in the world
to successfully dope out the prize
ring champions and has beens. At
times when it looks like a fellow is
going to have the biggest kind of a
walkover he turns up as a loser. as
was witnessed in the recent Gans-Nel-
son contest. Old Black Joe was tout
ed long and loud as a sure winner
over the Dane, and was as good as 2
to / in the betting, but Nelson gave
him a good beating and won without
much trouble
But the Dane in winning that fight
only tangled up the dope worse than
ever. 1t was regarded on all sides as
victory for Britt when Nelson and
Britt hooked up the last time, yet Joe
Cans made Jimmy look like a novice
when they met. Then when Nelson
fought Rudolph Unholz in Los Ange-
les the papers down there gave
Rudy" credit for a victory over Mel
son, yet no decision was officially
handed down. Unholz goes up against
fighting Dick Hyland in New York.
and he is given the laugh for even
claiming to be in the championship
class. Now, Britt has come back again
and is fighting in good form in Eng
land. Nelson has proved his super
iority over Cans. while poor old IN
holz is having a hard time getting on
Il fight because of his poor showing
against Hyland.

WAS MISSOURI DAY.
Mrs. Lake, ST. Louis Woman, Made a
Great Speech.

1t was surely Missouri's day at the
chautauqua yesterday. In the after
noon Mrs. Leorna lake. of st. Louis,
occupied the platform and the speech
she delivered was evidently intended
as an awakening. Mrs. Lake was in
tended by nature to be an orator. A
true daughter of Erin, with a voice Of
large volume and great carrying power
she did not mince matters when she
mounted the platform. For an hour
and a half she spoke on the subject of
the Divine Rights of the Child" She
brought before her tribunal the bust
ness men, the professional men, the
! newspapers, the young men, the young
women the wives and the mothers of
Richmond. And through it all the au-
dience laughed good naturedly at her
wit and applauded her burning state
ments.
Hers was a plea for new ideals and
new standards in the nation. She de-
clared that the necessity of the pure
food law was a sad reflection upon the
honesty of the nation. She asserted
America today. The reason they
don't is that they are not taught it..
! Of young people who run away to get
| married she had this to say: They
don't know the difference between
| love and a pain in their stomachs."
Mrs. Lakes statements may have
been severe. but the pathos of her
voice took the edge off them and the
earnestness with which she spoke won
| her audience. Though it got a good
box on the ears, Richmond, it was de-
clared by many. is better for her COM

The Whitneys closed the program
last night and also their engagement
here, with an impressive sacred con-

In the afternoon they had sung with
great impressiveness Jesus, Saviour,

song embodying the last words OF
Goethe. the great German Poet. Per

The Yakima Valley Amateur Ath-

July night at the opera house. Among
the classy performers VIII be Maurice
Thompson of Butte, Dick Cullen,

Kid Kraut, Guy Buckles. etc. Cullen
and Scaler in particular have decided

weights in the word capable of TAX

Kraut, Seattle. if they can get to-
gether on weight. There has always
got to be an acrimonious talkfest Of
days before class boxers will affix
their signatures to a contract.
On the night of the third Of July
Charley Zost and the instructor of
the club will come together if Zost
will agree to straight rules to pro-
tect themselves in the clinches and
breakaways. Zost has not made his
mind up whether he will box straight
rules, and if he does not agree prob
ably will not box anybody and will let
somebody else AXE the date
In one week from tonight 20
rounds of boxing will be given at the
first smoker of the club. Jack Cur
ley, the instructor, and Ed Cuff. one
of the best light heavyweights in the
northwest, will furnish the wind-up
in ten-round bout. The low admis-
sion of so cents and 800 will be
charged.
Cuff will not be here until the 23d,
as he is training Dick Cullen for his
match with Scaler on the 22d at Sc
attic and will also train him here If

The club will be on solid finan-
cial footing after these smokers and

great value On May 1 an order
went into effect over the signature
of Postmaster General George Won !.
Meyer, approving a plan to mark
stamps with distinctive perforatine
die providing the mark does not mar
the face of the stamp and does not
occupy more than one-third OF an
inch square. The order is known as
No. 1851, and is an amendment OF
section 562 paragraph {, OF the pos
tai laws and regulations 1t reads
United States postage stamps to
be accepted for postage must be alb
solutely without disfacement, provid-
ed that for the purpose Of identi-
it shall be permissible to puncture
or perforate letters, numerals or 9th
er marks or devices in United States
postage and special delivery stamps
The punctures or perforations shall
not exceed one sixty-fourth of an
inch in diameter, and the whole space
occupied by the identifying device
shall not exceed one-third inch
square. The puncturine or perfor-
ating must be done in such manner
rs to leave the stamp easily recog-
nizable as genuine and not previously
used. The use of ink or other coll
oring matter in connection with such
puncturing or perforating is prohi-
bited."
The advantage of this device is
patent at once, as It will enable bust
ness houses conducting a large cor
respondence to protect themselves
against loss of mail by registering
their perforation device with the
postoffice department for reference
An additional feature is that bust
ness houses will be able to detect
and stop the thefts of stamps by EN-
ployes, which it is stated is carried
on much more extensively than gener-
ally supposed.
Assistant Postmaster Stocking
states that the ruling is not general
ly known to the public. and for that
reason the protection afforded by it
has not yet been taken advantage
of. II is believed that business hous-
es will shortly adopt the scheme. and
that it will effect the saving of thou
sands of dollars

A good story comes to light OF a
fracas which took place Monday af-

between a local sewing machine
agent, his friend. their bull dog and
Mrs. John Beard, her daughter and
their dog So far as numbers were
concerned the battle was even, but
as for results. the agent got the worst
of IT. While the agent was driving
toward Oldtown they passed the resi-

an old dog The bulldog belonging
to the agent Immediately sprang for
Mrs. Boards dog and getting a good
hold was about TO kill it when his
mistress interceded and while in the
act was called down by the agent,
and rudely showed aside On seeing
that her dog was about TO be killed.
she rushed into her house and, Sc
curing a gun, ordered the agent 20
pull his dog off in doing so Mrs
Beard dog secured the advantage
and held it while the agents pleaded
with her to loosen their dog and take
the gun away.
In a short while the whole crowd
was in the mixup and as soon as
was convenient the agents with their
dog beat a hasty retreat. with their
clothes torn and faces bleeding. The

have been averted by commercial
agreements between the United
States and each of those countries,
made under the authority given to
the president in the third section Of
the Dingley tariff act.
But the browning act in this drama
was that in which the president him
self took the initiative, halted the
armies of Russia and Japan, bringing
about an honorable, and, it is to be
hoped. enduring peace.
Yet nothing has added so much to
his just fame as his persistent and
irrevocable refusal to break the I'M

he places his name and fame in the
secure keeping of history by the side
of that of the immortal Washington.
The work of this convention will
soon be concluded. The platform
will voice the dominant thought of
the people. and the candidates nomi
mated must stand upon it firm and
erect. They must have the patriotism
and sagacity of Lincoln, the ten
aeity of a Grant, the wisdom and
moderation of Mckinley, and the
courage of Roosevelt. With such
a platform and such candidates the
issue can not be in doubt. The Re-
publican party confidently submits it's
record to the approving judgment of
the American people and, upon its
renewed declaration of faith, in
vokes continuance of public favor.
