While sojourning recently at Shlraz,
Persia. on business connected with an
overland telegraph. an Englishman
WAS visited by a Persian noble who
had received a paralytic stroke in his
left shoulder and arm. He said he had
been told that there were magiclaDS
in the west who cured all diseases by
the aid of this FIRE" electricity. The
Englishman, having moderated the
Persian's expectations by remarking
that the statement was an eXagSera-

"OId Cy" Loves the Mazuma.

Cy Young. the grand old Trojan
among baseball men. is said to be one
or the most economical men in the
business. Unglaub the new PLAYER
that Washington recently secured
from Boston, tells this story on
Young:
II appears that when the Boston club
was in Cleveland, which Is not very
many miles from Cy Young's big farm,
Cy wished to telephone some instruc-
tions to his farm manager, and he re-
sorted TO the long distance telephone
as a means of quick communication.
While Cy was telephoning, Unglaub
and Mcconnell happened to stroll up
to the telephone booth. When Young
had ceased talking and was getting
the necessary change out OF his pocket
to pay for his message, Mcconnell,
who is youngster just fresh from col.

Consider the long distance tele-

expression on his countenance. as he
began counting his change, "and see

GAVE ALL TO SHARPS.
Witness Says He Was Convinced
"Adam God'' Was David.

Kansas City, Mo, May 27.-When the
trial of James Sharp, the Adam Cod
of the band of street evangelists on
trial for the murder of a police officer
in the riot here last December, was re-
sumed this morning it was believed that
1t would go to the jury before night.
The prosecutor has dismissed the case
against William Enghnell, the 20 years
old Minnesota boy, who was a member
of the band. EnghneIl. who is an cpl
leptic, was a blind follower according
to his own testimony, of the man
Sharp.
"I went with him." said the boy on
the stand, because God revealed to
me that he was David and that he
preached the truth
He said he had given Sharp every
thing he possessed. because he was
Adam; he was David; he was the
father"
did Sharp have revolvers and RI
f1es?' the prosecutor asked.
Yes"
'why did he carry them?''
HE said when I came of the faith
up in Minnesota, that down south they
had put him in Jail for preaching the
Bible and the truth. The revolvers and
the rifles were to keep evil men off. -
Enghnell told how in an encounter in
Canada Sharp and his band had stood
off so policemen with rifles.

MYSTERY is REVEALED.
Forthcoming Suit Promises to Expose
European Gambling.

New York, May 27.-The mystery of
what became of the half million dollars
or thereabouts which Florenz Ziegfeld,
jr., is said to have won at Monte Carlo
on two different occasions, was re-
vealed in the supreme court here yes
terday when Alfred Boulant, who adj
mitted that he maintained a gambling
house at Biarritz, sued Ziegfeld for
$4,000. Letters from Anna Held, wife
of Ziegfeld, to Boulant, declared that
the American theatrical manager had
lost more than 100000 in Boulant's
place at Biarritz and expressed her as
surance that Ziegfeld would pay the
$4,000, when able. These letters from
the actress related that after making
his phenomenal winning at Monte
Carlo, Ziegfeld had not only lost all of
the money in gambling houses in Paris
and Biarritz, but had lost 5000 on
credit in Boulant's place.
Ziegfe1d announced his intention of
fighting the suit and therefore it is ex-
pected that many details of sensational
European gambling will be revealed.

fight Johnson. He is in better hands
now that Jeffries has undertaken to re-
store the honor to the white race.
When 1 announced that I was willing
to fight Johnson it was far from my
desire to get back into the fighting
game. 1 felt merely that some one had
to challenge the black man who had
a chance to defeat him.
Now that Jeffries has agreed to
meet him there is no occasion for me
to give any attention to Johnson"
