FIGHT PICTURES OF
KETCHEL-J JOHNSON
Show Plainly How Champion
Treated Michigan Lion in
Recent Match.

Lovers of the "hstic art have real
treat In store for them all this week at
the Empire theater, on state street, when
the pictures OF the Johnson ketchcl fight
will be shown. This is the first time they
have been shown in this city. and Man
ager Harry Rand Of the Empire has Sc
cured the pictures exclusively and at con-
siderable expense.
The pictures are as fine a set as has
eyer been seen here being exceptionally dtI,
brought out and one almost feels that
he Is sitting at the ringside watching
the fight Itself. Several noted charac-
tors are shown seated about the ring,
most prominent of whom is Willus Britt.
who died shortly after the fight OF a
broken heart, because his champion was
defeated. The training quarters are also
shown, together with other interesting
features
With the presentation of the pictures.
n well-known former prize fighter, who
was at the ring side, explains them In
detail.
These pictures were presented in New
York at q rental expense OF $1,000 a
week. and SO great was the demand to see
them. that when Mr.. Hammerstein, the
owner OF the theater. attempted to get
raised to S25OO which he gladly paid.
One OF the results of , the pictures, is
in showing the wonderful cunning OF
Johnson He towers over Ketchel, and
from the pictures 1t is evident he could
have disposed of the white man In a
very few rounds had he cared to do so.
After seeing the giant negro In action,
the question is asked as TO wether or
not Jelfres can whip him, and the con-
sensus OF opinion seems TO be that Jerf
will get one of the worst beatings a
white man ever got in the ring when he
faces LII Ahtha.''
Johnson landed blow after blow on
Ketchel, which made the latter vince and
time and again failed to take advantage
OF an opening 10 put the white boy down
and out.
The pictures are of more than usual in
tercst IN VleW oil ihe Iact that Johnson
approach of the Johnson-Langford bat
tie. Johnson is picked TO win this fight
with ease owing to his height, reach and
strength. but in Dangford he has a
plucky adversary, who win fight as long
as there Is any fight left In him.

The Story of Sheridan S Ride.

on. The lieutenant stopped, Who was

"It was the same all along the road;

COFFIN EXERCISES
MAL|GN INFLUENCE
Death and Affection Follow
ScOfling at Egyptian
Mummy's CaSket.

LONDON. Nov. 2S.-Superstitious per-
sons Will find secret satisfaction in the
latest chapter OF the story of misadven-
ture and death that is associated with
the curious Egyptian coffin lid, number
22,5i2. which stands In a corner of the
first Egyptian room OF the British mu-
scum. A scientist who laughed at the
superstition committed suicide recently,
and a man who joined in his merriment
met with a serious accident
The scientific professors OF the mu-
scum naturally scon at the notion that
painted face on the tough cardboard
coffin lid Of an Egyptian mummy can
exercise occult power over the life and
limbs OF persons living in London today,
and all who are not of n superstitlous
nature will agree with them that the
man In the moon is a more dangerous
personality than the $500 -year-old spirit
OF the Prlestess of Amen-Ra.
The first story Of the malien influence
exercised by the coffin lid was told five
years ago. and many who have had any
thing whatsoever TO do with II have
died or met with misfortune. Some of
the museum attendants avoid the priest
ess's corner as If II were infected with
the plague. Possibly this is partly due
Ia the circumstance that since the priest
was installed in the museum two OF
the attendants In the first Egyptian room
have died.
Not long ago two men. whose names
are known. discussed the story OF the
painted face and its reputed mysterious
power. One of these men was a scion
tist of repute and the other an engineer
OF position OF London.
AS a result Of their discussion they
went TO the museum. inspected the cold.
staring face on the coffin lid. and laughed
then and there ut the notion that there
could he any evil spirit lowering over a
cardboard coffin lid.
The scientist was known to have oc-
caSIonally expressed the view that sui
eide is an unthinkable and unpardona-
bic crime. Scmr time after visiting the
museum he committed suicide by taking
a rare poison.
About the same time his friend. the
engineer had an unaccountable fall, which
dislocated his shoulder and caused inter-
nal injuries. He refuses now To talk
about the priestcss OF Amen-Ra.
There are persons AT the museum who
would feel relieved II the priostcsss cof
FIN lid were quietly wrapped up. sent back
to ThebeS, and restored. II possible. TO
the tomb where the remains of the un-
covered mummy may possibly stil be
living.
