test. He was boxing Joe Choynski at
the Boston theater. There are many
who believe to this day that Choynski
could hit as hard as anybody in ring
history-Jeffries. Maher, Ftzsimmons
or anybody else noted for hard punch
ing Fitz himself is one who entertalns
this belief and it is not without grounds
Joe had an awkward punch that was
used by few boxers, hard TO block and
of terrible force. He had the knack Of
dropping it down when least expected,
and it generally had the label turn
off the gas" pasted on it when it
landed fairly.
1t was a full-arm. downward swing
with the right for the nose or jaw,
generally a counter. He would wait
for YOU to lead for his face with a
straight left or left hook. prefer
ably the latter. He would let you go
along a few times, when suddenly.
7OWn it would come with all his
strength, plumb over your left lead
and the right which you might have
crooked on your chest using as a
guard. AS the blow descended, and
with great speed. the guard was of no
avail. The only drawback to the punch
was that he couldn't time it well or
Judge distance carefully with it be-
cause it was what would be called
wild punch" Often times it landed on
the forehead or or the top Of the head
and its effectiveness was lost He
dropped one on Fits jaw in the first
round and it almost finished him

the first round. Gus hammered him
all around the ring and had him SO

When the fans start talking about the
greatest fighter who ever lived they
wouldn't be making a very grievous
error if they awarded the palm to the
titian-haired blacksmith. During
those 30 years he met more tough men
than any heavyweight or middleweight
who ever laced glove, not even bar
ring the unbeaten Jeffries. In fact, he
met practically all of the dangerous
men jeff met, and several whom the
latter did not meet. If Fitz doesn't
change his mind about going to Aus
tralia i'm the meantime it will be his
first visit to the old home and fireside
in approximately 90 years. He left
sydney in the spring of 1890, and 1910
will not be far distant when he again
sets foot on the old stamping grounds.
Immediately before sailing for San
in four rounds. This bout has since
been discussed thousands of times by
the boxing enthusiasts of this country.
Some have limited it was q prearranged
affair, others that Fitz stopped" and
it has even been claimed that FitZsim-
mons admitted that he Laid down" be-
cause he needed the money Be that as
it NAV none OF his fights in this
country would give grounds for any
such charges. He has surely fought on
the level while in America. has won
every time he could and as for game
ness, few men have given more con-
vincing proofs that they poss ssed true
fighting courage than he.

"Tbou piest on Point of Fox.p

Fox blades were celebrated all
through the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries for their excellent temper
and mention of them is frequent in
English drama. This is their history
There was a certain Julian del Rel,
believed to be Morisco, who set up a
forge at Toledo in the early part Of
the sixteenth century and became IA
nous for the excellence of his sword
blades, which were regarded as the
best of Toledo. That city had for many
ages previous been renowned for
swordmaking, it being supposed that
the Moors introduced the art, as they
did so many good things, from the
east.
Julian del Refs mark was a little
dog, which came to be taken for a fox,
and so the "fox blade" or simply 'fOX"
for any good sword. See Henry w."
act 4, scene 4, "ThOu diest on point Of
fox" The brand came to be initiated
in other places, and there are Solingen
blades of comparatively modern manu-
facture which still bear the little dog
of Julian del Rei.-London Notes and

The Aurora BoreaIis,

The aurora borealls, or northern
light, is something that we have all
heard about, but very few, perhaps,
can give any explanation of it. No
one definitely knows what causes it,
but the scientists are pretty well
agreed that 1t Is due to electricity.
They believe that the light is made by
the decomposition Of the positive and
negative electricity always in the up
per and lower strata Of air, respec-
lively. NJ. Lenstrom made an inter-
estlng experiment in Finland in 1882,
his object being to determine the ma
ture Of the aurora. He had the peak
Of a mountain surrounded by a cop
per wire, pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. When he had charged the
wire with electricity a yellow light
appeared on the tin tips, and an ex-
animation Of the light by the spec
troscope revealed the greenish yellow
ray that is marked feature Of the
aurora. This evidence among sci
entists is almost convincing, for it
is by means Of the spectroscope that
we discover the constituent parts Of
the sun and the stars.-EXchange.

When the nineteenth century was as
yet only half grown, senator's applied
customarlly for their tOddies at the so
called Hole in the Wall, small circu-
lar room just off the postoffice Of the
upper house. The latter body then
occupied what is now the chamber Of
the supreme court, and the postoffice
was across the main corridor Of the
building on the same floor. When a
wearer Of the toga found himself in
need Of "snifter" he had only to
cross over to the mails department
and pass through 1t to the little cir
cular room aforesaid, which was about
the size Of a pantry. The Hole in the
Wall was the first senate restaurant,
and the bill Of fare for edibles was
short, though to the point There was
ham, guaranteed to have been smoked
for six months, veritabe sublimation
Of the pork product; there were corned
beef and bread and cheese, but very
little else. They served, however, as
an accompaniment for the fluids and
when the Hole was crowded, as was
often the case, senators ate their sand
wiches outside, in the postoffice. -

A Roya4 Snake Slaughterer,

The secretary bird" is one Of the
most precious birds in South Africa.
1t is royal game, and any person de-
stroying one is liable to a fine of $50
Majestic looking birds, they stand
about three feet high and generally go
in pairs. They are Of drab color, with
black, feathery legs, and are valued
for their propensity for killing snakes
Where the secretary bird is seen there
are sure to be many reptiles about.
The bird beats down It's adversary
first with one wing and then with the
other, at the same time trampling on
1t with its feet until the snake is sutfi-
ciently stunned to catch it by the
head with its claws. Then the bird
rises far up in the air and drops its
victim to the ground, to be killed. BY
this means thousands Of venomous
reptiles are destroyed.-London Scraps,

THE HOUSE
Continued from Page one)

It was costing exorbitantly to connect
with sewers, as it was, and the Board
of Health was compelling poor people
to connect with the sewer.
WASHERMEN ARE BUFFERS.
Rice moved that the bill pass. 1t
was not that the poor would suffer.
He had looked over the lists Of those
who had not paid their sewer rates,
an Indebtedness to the Territory
amounting to $4,000 and he had found
therein the names of many who were
well able to pay their sewer rates, but
Just bluffed the government out of the
dues. Rice mentioned the Sanitary
Steam Laundry as one of these we'll
TODD buffers, this concern owing the
government $1,1OO. Sing Hing Co.
whoever they are, owes $3.50; and
there were lots of others well able to
pay but who wouldn't if they could
get out of it.
WATER OR WASHINGTON.
Castro believed the measure a most
unjust proposition. Here was actually
scheme to cut off a mans water,
even if he had paid for it, if he failed
to pay his sewer rates. Such a move
off, would have good action against
able and any man who had paid hss
water rates, and whose water was cut
off, would have good ACTION against
the Territory. 1t was a matter that
would be bound to get to Washington,
for the people would take such a
glazing wrong to the highest court III
the land. 1t was a hold-up, down.
right hold-up, what was more, the
Territory had no right to deprive a
citizen of the use of the necessities of
life. If the fees could not be enforced
in a civil manner, without cutting off
mans main necessity, water, it was
time that a lawyer was put in the
attorney generals office
LUXURIOUS SEWERS.
Rice asked if Long did not consider
the charge made for sewer rates to b,
a just charge.
