THE
CHHDREN'S.
HOME

The county commissioners came
to the aid of the new Children
home, being built on the north hill,
with an appropriation OF $1,000,
made this morning.
The money is made payable to
w. D. Vincent, treasurer of the so
ciety, and Is available at once.
A delegation from the Ladies'
Benevolent society, which has
charge of the home, visited the
commissioners last week and urged
an appropriation by the county, on
the ground that the 100000 raised
by popular subscriptions was not
sufficient to complete the institu-
ton.
Legal advice from the prosecut-
ing attorneys office was sought,
and an opinion was given telling
the commissioners that they had
the right to help the institution.
The appropriation was then made.

Anderson, sos Main avenue; Tony
Garcia, 217 Front avenue.
These applications have been APP
proved by Chief Sullivan and the
bonds bear the endorsement of

payment OF the 800 state license
and the 5000 city license accom-
panies each application, as re-
quired by the city ordinance.
When the city ordinance was
passed limiting the number of Ii
censes 1t was aimed at the abolition
of the brewery-owned saloon. Some
insist that there Is q system by
which certain brewers, through the
medium of leases, bonds, ETC., de-
feat the purposes Of the ordinance
and do indirectly what they are
prohibited from doing directly.

CHAMPION LOUDLY CHEERED
When the Announcement Was Made
That Jefries Would Fight Jack
Johnson, Audience Leaped From
Their Seats and Cheered LustiIy.

NEW YORK, April 20.--"I will
fight Mr.. Jack Johnson. will de-
fend my title as the undefeated heavy
weight champion Of the world"
Before an audience that packed
American Music Hall in which there
were as many women as men, James
J. Jeffries made this formal announce
ment tonight 1t was the signal for
great joy Excited men leaped from
their seats, shouted and cheered and
the women applauded, Their shrill
and exciting cries Of approval as they
stood up and waved their handker-
chiefs and even their peach basket
hats, bowling and blushing the unde-
feated champion added picturesque
ness to the scene. In the streets were
hundreds Of persons who could not
get into the theatre, although high
premiums were offered for seats.
After his sparing exhibition with
Sam Berger, the audience shouted for
Jeffries to come out and make the
statement he had promised. The big
fellow soon appeared. His dressing
gown only revealing his shaggy head
and great red fists. The house went
literally wild and Jeffries stood near
the footlights bowling and raising his
hands for order. After several min
utes the audience became reasonably
quiet and Jeffries began.
Ladies and gentlemen"
"Cut that out Jeff; come to the
point" cried voices from the gallery,
Il thank you from the bottom Of
my heart"
"Never mind that; are you going to
fight" same another voice.

thing else, continued Jeffries. only
smiling at the interruption.

We'll, | am satisfied after about
seven weeks work"
that | can get into as good as
/ ever was and / will fight Mr.. Jack
Johnson"
II Jeffries had anything more to
say he never heard it. He ran off the
stage while the auditorium became a
bedlam of noise and cheers,
There are several conditions at.
tached to Jeffries re-entry into the
ring. First, Johnson must defeat
Ketchel, Then Jeffries cannot sign
articles for possibly ten months and
he insists that the fight take place in
this country and the number Of rounds
be unlimited.
