NEW YORK, oct. with two fight

OF crowd that rivaied the one which
greeted her on her maiden trip. The fight
ers, with their records
James J. Jenries, undefeated champion
heavy weight pugilist Of the world.
n. p. O'Connor, (ray Pay) for many
years the leader in the fight to secure
home rule FOR Ireland.
But It was Jeffries that the majority OF
the crowd wanted to see and when his
huge bulk was discerned on the upper
deck he was cheered as though he was In
reality one Of the worlds heroes. The
big fellow looked well He made it plain
before he even set foot on the dock that
he expects to fight Johnson and that 80
far as he Is concerned there Is no reason
why tho fight cannot be arranged without
delay.
II am ready to enter tho ring at any
time" declared tho giant fighter, "and am
ready TO sign articles at once. / weigh 225
pounds to-day and have kept in training
while on the other side The result is that
I feel better to-day than have ever felt
before and I am prepared to uphold the
supremacy Of the white race"
Jcffrles and his wife hurried through the
customs lines and were driven at once to
the Hotel Albany where apartments had
been reserved for them. As the big fellow
forced his way through the crowd he was
ohered time and again and when he final
iy emerged on the street front his friends
and the pier police had to form fiying
wedge to get him into the waiting auto
mobile.
Jonries had a few questions to ask on
his account and they chiefly concerned a
certain tall and dusky citizen Of the name
Of Jack Johnson.
He wanted to know when the colored
claimant TO the championship was COM
ing to New York. who was his present
manager. what sort Of fight he put up
against Ketchel and whether the public
really thought the colored man would
fight him.
IT hope he Is as sincere as he pretends %
Jen said. 'If he is. he win have no
trouble I'm getting a fight. But It would
not surprise me If he failed to show up
or began naming impossible conditions
the moment we get together"
There was no mistalSing the fact that
Jenries does not have a particularly
warm spot in his heart for the big negro,
and mo quarter asked or given looks
as though it would be the motto of JEFF
fries II he ever faces johnson IN the ring.
Il don't know what IS in the preiimi-
nary agreement that Berger and Johnson
signed in Chicago last August" said Jeif,
''but whatever It Is I will stand by IT,"
Regarding Johnson's fght with Kotchel,
JEFF said the white boy never had a
chance.
Sam Berger. who is looking after JEFF
fries interest. is hopeful that some Of the
articles may be signed not later than nexi
Monday.

"The reason OF the high prices in

ORANGE TO
MEET SOLDIERS
Locals Will Try Hard TO AVen-
&c Defeat Of Last Year

At Front and Union street grounds
tomorrow afternoon, Orange Will line
up against the Fort DUPONT team.
The Army boys have one of the most
formidable teams that has ever repre-
sented the Southern District OF the
Army, and this game, which virtually
will decide the question of football
supremacy in the State, should be one
of the hardest fought games of the sea
son. Although outweighed. Orange is
prepared to give the soldiers one of the
gamest fights of their career. For years
Orange has held the championship Of
the State, and it is to uphold this that
almost nightly practices have been in
dulged in this week by the whole
squad. Orange realizes that in the
Army team they have no easy PROPOSE
tion, but the boys are confident that
they viii be able to turn the tables on
the soldiers and avenge the 6 TO de-
feat of last year. Although handi-
capped by the absence Of Mcclure,
Orange win have as strong a team
as they have presented this season, all
the players having come through their
gruelling contest with the Georgia in
fairly good shape.
The Fort team is under the super
vision of Lieut.. stockton, a West
Point Varsity man, who has been
drilling the Fort boys daily for two
and three hours against their strong
scrub team which has been familiar
lied with the Orange formations
The probable lineup Of the teams
will be as follows;
Orange. Fort DUPONT.

That interest IN local football is not
on the wane is evidenced by the in
creasing attendance at the Orange
games this season. on last Saturday
afternoon, Orange had one Of the larg-
est crowds that ever witnessed a sat
urday game in this city. The now
perfected open game is largely in a
measure responsible for this, the game
as now played being more open and
easier to understand from spectators
standpoint.
Arrangements have been made with
the local trolley lines to have special
accommodations from 2.45 to $50
o'clock at Fourth and Second and Mar
ket street. Robert H. Taylor, Jr., and
Lieut., Stockton win offlciate.

the sight OF Bess explained her
hesitation; 30 he quietly climbed
| the fence and walked toward her.
Helen heard nothing, but con-
tinued to gaze in fascination into
THE Juno-like orbs Of the fearsome
COW. Suddenly Bess, who was a
playful creature, lowered her
head. Helen gave a shrill cry,
flung her silk umbrella and silver
purse at the cows head, and
turned to fee. She saw Harvey
some distance off, and~with utter
disregard for reveries or rrevieWs
she rushed forward and flung
hcrselfinto his arms, exclaiming:
Oh, Harvey forgive me and
save me,
During the past month Mr..
Stuart had been thinking hard
things about women and their
tickle ways. But when a trem-
bling girl with fiuttering heart
casts herself upon a mans pro-
Lection, he cannot, in all human
ity, bid her stand alone. So
Harvey Stuart only held tie
slight, gray clad form tightly,
and said:
Don't be frightened. You
won't be hurt.
Bess, after planting foot on
the umbrella and calmly survey.
ing the purse, gave a snort and
retreated toward tn e. grove.
After a time, Helen raised her
head.
A man has q very small nature
who wants a woman to say ''for-
give me" twice, said Helen, with
a pout.
Helen, what do you mean? and
Miss Roberts hands are held in
a firm grasp.

and you had better pick up my
umbrella and purse, and-and |

Will you become Mrs. Stuart |
on Christmas day?
VIII you promise never-never
even when We have our worst
quarrels, to tease me about those
hateful poems?
Helen, what do you think of
me?
Helen's reply to this question
was incoherent.
When DR.. Roberts came home
to dinner that evening he was
surprised to find Harvey en-
sconced in his old chair in the
library. He shook hands with
him heartily, and said:
Why, how is this? Helen told
me that she respected you highly
but that it was quite impossible
for you to agree on some import
ant notwithstanding, / think it
was.
Helen's cheeks grew crimson,
but Harvey gravely said: +.
We have agreed not to talk a
upon literary topics, and Helen
that she really is in
need of my protection.
So the last state of these two
overs was better than the first.
Helen burned her poetry, and
Harvey sent a curt refusal when
he managing editor of the Still.
eJto asked for a further contribu. ,
ion.
Christmas eve was a perfect i
winter night, and, as Helen was a
listening to the "hells across the
