ATTEL BECOMES
BANTAM CHAMPION

San Francisco, June 22.-In as fast
and clean a fight as has been seen in
local arena in a long time Monte
Attell of Sn Francisco won the ban
tam weight championship from
frankie Neil in the 18th round of a
scheduled 25-Tound contest at Coff-
roth's arena Saturday afternoon.
Neil was the aggressor throughout,
forcing Atten back time and again.
His punches seemed to lack force,
however, and in only two rounds did
he appear to have a chance with the
clever brother of the feather weight
champion. Attell had everything. He
peppered Neil's nose and mouth with
straight lefts, brought over crushing
rights on the jaw and occasionally
raped frankie in the mid-secrion
with solid rights or lefts.
The knockout in the 18th had been
only a postponed affair from the pre-
ceding round. when the gong saved
Neil from defeat. At the beginning
of the final round Neil came out of
his corner with sort of Battling
Nelson trot, but was stopped quickly
with a straight left on the face. He
staggered around the ring with Attell
following him and sending in hard
rights and lefts to the jaw. No one
punch did the work, but under this
fearful punishment Neil sank grad
ually to the floor and was counted
out
From the second round until the
final gong Neils nose and mouth
bled continuously from Attelrs hard
punches.

RABBI WISE ADMINISTER
SLAP TO CARNEGIE

Buffalo, n Y.-Delegates to the
3sth Conference Of Charities and
Corrections occupied the pulpits in
all the leading churches of the city
today. The conference sermon was
delivered at the Star theater by the
Rev. Stephen S. Wise, d. D.. rabbi OF
the Free Synagogue. New York City
Without naming him, Rabbi Wise
condemned Mr. Carnegie's library
charity.
ITO call a man who has crushed
his enemies singly and in groups a
public benefactor is a lie," said he.
1--WE need justice more than we need
libraries.
THE higher function of charity"
he continued, "is not to tinker and
to temporize, but to anticipate and
to avert. Though concerning himself
with the task of temporary allevia-
tion, the social worker is never 10

RAILROAD MOST
CURIOUS IN WORLD

The most curious railroad in the
world is in China and it was built and
financed solely by Chinese. 1t is
also operated by Chinaman. 1t Is
known as the Summing Railway, and
its terminus is at Kung Yik port, l2O
miles southeast of Canton.
AT present there are thirty-two
miles in operation and there are four
miles under construction, and four
miles more proposed, making a total
of forty miles when the whole enter
prise is finished.
The idea of building this railroad
originated with Mr.. Chin Gee Hee,
who was then in the United States,
and some subscriptions for stock were
secured from other Chinese residents
of the United States. The majority OF
the stock, however, is now owned by
residents of the Province of Kwang-
tung.
When the road was surveyed the
villagers were very much opposed to
it and refused to sell land to the COM
pa1ly TO be used for railway purposes,
but after meeting all these obstruc-
tiUns for a considerable time with
great patience the projectors finally
obtained their consent to and cooper
alton in its construction.
The line is being constructed entire
Is by non-scientfic Chinese No per-
son Of any nationality other than Chi
nese has ever been connected in any
way with the building of this road. 1t
is being built under the direction of
Mr. Chin, president of the railway,
who returned to China from the Unit
ed States after forty years experience
there. some of which was as a rail-
road foreman and contractor.
He has no engineering or railroad
knowledge other than the experience
gained while in the United States. He
has the help Of about 100 Chinese
foremen and laborers who came back
from the United States, all with more
or less experience in railroad con-
struction.
The construction work commenced
III the middle of 1906 and part of the
line was opened to traffic al the be-
ginning of 1908. The whole road is
provided with telephone lines for dis
patching.
Trains run three trips a day from
each end, taking about two hours for
the trip. The average daily receipts
are from 1925 to $3.50 on passenger
traffic and from $40 to $50 on freight
with a daily expense of about $3.50.
The capital of the railway is 1880
600, divided into shares of $3.50 each,
all of which are owned by Chinese
and pay good dividends to the stocks
holders.
There are two loops one at Kung
Yik and one at Summing. There are
no turntables at present, but these
viii be put in at Kung Yik, Summing
Chung Lau, and Au Shan. The head
office is in Stunning City, seventeen
miles from Kung Yik port, where a
printing office is established for print
ing the timetables, tariffs and adver-
tising matter for the road.
At Kung Zip there are an office
a storeroom, a machine shop black
smith shop, foundry. There are nS
overhead bridges or tunnels on the |
line. The road is sand, gravel and
earth baliasted, standard guage and |
single track, with a side track at
every station. - Exchange.

GREATER VERMONT EXHIBITION.

One Of the most substantial ffea-
lures o: the Champaign tercentenary
celebration in Burlington will be the
Greater Vermont exhibition which is
to continue for several weeks. Other
cities are taking advantage OF the OPP
portunity this exhibit offers, as indi-
Gated by the following from the Rut-
land Herald Of yesterday:
The Herald Is informed by the man
ayers OF the Greater Vermont exhibit
1t in Burlington during the tercen-
tenary that Rutland has already con-
tracted for over 200 square feet OF
space and that many others have not
yet decided on how much they Will
use. 1t seems likely that every con-
siderable industry In the city will be
represented, an example that Is be-
ing largely followed all over the
State.
Other cities are adopting a similar
course of action, and the Greater
Vermont exhibit will be well worth
seeing.

WEATHER AND SWEETNESS.

We knew that Editor Howe Of the
Bennington Banner was an excellent
authority on a great variety of sub
5ects. as was abundantly demonstrate
ed by his discussion OF the manifold
topics that arose in connection with
the late Legislature. but we had no
idea that among the other accomplish
ments OF the versatile Bennington ed
itor was the forecasting OF weather,
However. here is what he says on this
everchanging yet ever timely subject:
according to the old New England
saying we may look for another cold
late spring this year. The theory on
which the prediction Is based Is that
the prevailing wind AT the time the
sun crosses the line Is likely to he
the prevailing wind for the period fol
lowing. In this section a cold north =
west wind has prevailed, not only
during the usherlng in Of spring but

March. We have not had an early
spring In Vermont for eight years, so
that should this also prove backward
II will follow precedent. It is on rec
ord in Remington that potatoes have
been planted here as early as March
26 and often as early as the first week
In April. but not during recent
years.
owners OF sugar orchards in this
section have been predicting very
short maple sugar season, but II the
prognostication of the Banner Is cor
rect, we may yet have a sufficient
supply of this luxury to go with what
flap acks Vermont wants, as we'll as a
generous quantity for export to ad-
mirers of this dainty outside of the
Green Mountain state.

THE PLACE, NOT THE MAN, IL
CENSED.

In Great Britain no man receives a
license to sell liquor, The place Is
licensed as one In which liquor can be
sold. In the term liquor are included
wines. WHISTLES. ale. beer, etc. every
thing specific, under the general term
liquors.
The license of the place gives to the
place a real estate and rentable value
which is very considerable. The viola
,ion OF the license forfeits the right of
that place az one In which liquors can
be sold, for "A period not short. and II
the license is ever renewable at all for
that place, the charges and conditions
arc very severe. and the old landlord
and the old tenant or the new landlord
ind new tenant are made the victims oi
subjects of the penalty in way and to
II degree not ever to be forgotten.
Roth the landlord and the tenant are
thus Interested in preserving the license,
that Is. In ohsying the law.

The Boston Record speaks the fol-
lowing reassuring word in relation to
the possibility Of New England losing
its freight differentials, which enable
us to compete with other sections Of
the country
The outward differentials on freight
rates from New England will not be
abolished To do so requires unani-
nous consent Of all the trunk lines.
and this unanimity In wiping them
out will never be given by the Grand
Trunk railroad. 1t would harm itself
even more than It would burden New
England shippers. To hold up their
abolition rs something impending is
to Greats needless bugaboo. What
ever the trade associations here may
do to let the Grand Trunk see that
they appreciate its flrmness might be
OF advantage. But there is no real
danger.
