Mr.. Harris Is an enthusiastic basebsil
follower himself, and is practically the
owner OF the Boston Nationals and Iait
owner of tho Pittsburg Nationals.
He has had remarkable financial sac

may be laid before him.

EASIER TO PREVENT

Most physicians are agreed that the
best way to combat most ills is by the
Indirect method Of stimulating the
bodys natural powers in fighting and
destroying the germs OF disease. Con-
sumption. for example. IS much easier
to prevent than il Is to cure. and
throughout the land a determined war
fare is being waged TO lessen tho dan
xar Of injection by this insidious
disease. Coughs and colds arc a pro-
ll6c source and should not be neg
lected.
At the first sign OF q cold. steps
should be taken TO check It az once,
and this can best be done with q sim-
pie mixture of two ounces OF Glycer-
inc. half-ounce OF Virgin oil Of Pine
compound pure and eight ounces Of
pure whisky. These can be mixed to-
getfer in a large bottle. Shake well
and take a teaspoonful every four
hours. II is claimed by the Leach
Chemical Co. Of Cincinnati who pre-
pare the Virgin oil OF Pine compound
pure for dispensing through druggists
that this mixture win break up cold
In twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is curable.

With Blacks

II Jack Johnson beats Jim Jeffries in
that Fourth of July fight it looks very
much as If the pugilistic championship
will remain with the colored race until
Jack gets too old and feble to put up
his hands
There doesn't seem to be man in
the heavyweight division this day who
looks like he will ever be a cham

didates for the crown but since then
the light Of ambition has been dimmed

who came out of obscurity TO take up
the white mans burden. fell by the
wayside on Christmas Day. when an
other big fellow by the name Of Reed
clipped him on the jaw for the fatal
count. As for Reed, he is about as
good as he ever will be. and he is not
claiming anything more.
The other big one to be toppied over
was California's pet youngster, wal
ter Schulken. He came out of the
amateur ranks. where he had always
been a winner. and went against
"Gunboat" Smith. He lasted seven
rounds. The only thing that he has
a chance in in the future is the "ex-
cuse club" When the count was given
him and he recovered sufficiently from
the shock TO be able TO say something,
he claimed that q low blow landed
on him i'm tho sixth round and killed
his chances.

Billy Madden has in hiding up on his
farm. and our old friend of Ridgeheld

that he might be some good some day

to the side Of the colored man. When

FUNERAL OF
JOHN MACUICAN
Bishop KinSman Called on the
Dying Boy, a Worker in St.
MiChael'S Church

Many friends were present in the
f1ower-filled room. at the funeral SER
vices of John Maguigan, at No. s3i
West Second street, yesterday after
noon. The rector or Calvary Church,
the Rev. J. r. PecSham. who IS priest
in-charge of ST. Miohaels parish, 10
which the boy belonged, ohiciated.
The boy died sunday night after an
Illness OF months. a sixteen-year-old
victim of tuberculosis SO unassum-
ing and quiet was the boy. that the
members of his parish almost took IL
as a matter Of course that he should
always be on hand at any time for
any duty. and now begin 10 realize his
unusual devotion 10 his church.
At the time Of his death story be-
gan 20 be whispered quietly about the
parish, a Christmas story. The boy
had never seen the new bishop and
this was a great disappointment to
him. About three weeks ago, Bishop
Kinsman made a visitation to st
Michaers Church. and Johns younger
brother told him OF the sick lad al
home. The bishop sent the boy his
photograph, and it was a great pleas
ure TO John. who felt pleased that the
bishop should think of him. just a
young boy.
But during his busy Christmas week
tho bishop without thinking OF his
multifarious appointments, went quiet
ly over TO the house. and spent an
hour with the lad. bringing him the
Christmas peace. II is doubtful II
the bishop knew how much he was
desired. or how much the parish owed
10 the sick boy whose life was prac-
ticaily spent in the service Of the
church. "a service simply and happily
given The visit Of the bishop has
been discussed by many persons In the
nnIrhhnrhnnd who lnarnnd Of Il
