WHAT NERVE!!

General sympathy will be expressed
warranted and uncal1ed-for affront to
his tender sensibilities through the
offer of $4,000 for championship
fight. Think of it! Only fifty thous-
and dollars for an exhibition of MI.
Jeffries' remarkable talent. Of course
it was an Australian promoter, and no
American, who made this picayunish
offer, but sporting circles will resent
it just the same. What nerve! The
very idea!
Naturally, Mr.. Jeffries turned him
down, and turned him down hard.
'Only fifty thousand" he is quoted
'tWhy, go chase yourself or words tC
that effect. Get out before turn you
out" or something of that nature
THAT wouldn't keep me in chewing
gum and matinee tickets" and similar
well considered phrases along this
line.
AS delicately as circumstances
would permit the 'Friscan referred tC
the 100000 offer of one promoter, and
the $150,000 of another and suggested
rather than intimated, that he was
still waiting for raise. In the mean
time, to have a stranger bob up with
such a small bundle was at least irri
tating.
Of course the prize ring cannot bt
expected to sink to the level of having
its heroes perform for the salary of {
mere President. Naturally not. lie
the Australian go home and get some
more before he comes around annoy
ing the delicate James J. Jeffries.

ready ten villages, four of them inhab-
tied by Russian subjects, have been
pil1aged and burned. The troops are
ruthlessly killing the fleeing peasants.
Many women, carrying their children
on their backs, attempted to swim the

SUNDAY SCHOOL METHODS.
Graded Lessons for Fifty-Two Sun
days Each Year.

Methods of Sunday School instruc-
t1on which are expected to revolution
ize the teaching of Protestant chill
dren have been formally adopted
through the action of Professor Ira M.
Price, of the University of Chicago In
his capacity as secretary of the Inter
national Sunday School Lesson Com
mittee, Professor Price has released
to the publishing houses of four large
denominations set of graded lessons
for 81 Sundays in each year.
The plans will be sent to the several
publishers of Sunday School quarter
lies, and the entire system will be in
troduced October i next into Sunday
Schools of every evangelical denom-
nation in this country, the Dominion
of Canada, Mexico and some parts of
the island possessions of the United
States.
The international lesson committee
does not demand that these lessons
supplant the portions of the Bible
| printed with explanatory notes for
study each Sunday, but it recon-
mends that the graded lessons be used
either as a substitute or along with
the others which it has for years been
in the habit of preparing.
The organizations which will at
once prepare to issue the new lessons
are the Presbyterian Board of Publi-
cation, with headquarters in Philadel-
phia; the Sunday School Union of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, with
headquarters in New York; the Con
Igregational Sunday School and Pub
fishing Society, with headquarters al
Boston, and the publication society o
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South.
The lessons are the creation of Mrs
J. Woodbridge Barnes, of Newark, N

men and women known throughout ths
Sunday Schol world.

LAST YEARS GOLD.

The Financial Chronicle has COM
production last year. The total is con-
stantly 1nCr easing. In 1905 the total
for the first time crossed the $400, ,000,-
900 line; in 1907 the total was $412,-
100000, and last year it was increased
to 1882 ,697. ALI the principal pro-
ducing regions reported an increase
last year, Australia alone excepted.
South Africa is the great producer
Of gold, its total being 40 per cent. of
the total. The United States comes
next with about 25 per cent. and Aus
tralia is a good third, and Russia
poor fourth. These are the chief gold
producing countries. The following
