San Francisco, Oct 16.-With a
clean Knockout blow, Jack Johnson
clinched his claim upon the pugisl1st1c
championship by sending Stanley
Ketchell to the floor in the twelfth
round in the f1stic bout at Colma to-
day.
Just a few seconds before Johnson
hammered Ketchell to the floor,
Ketchell landed on Johnson's jaw a
crashing blow and sent the negro
down in evident pain. The negro rose
to his feet, and as Ketchen rushed at
him Johnson was laying for him, and
sent vicious right and left hook upon
ketcheIPs body. He followed this
with two other blows, and Ketchell
went to the floor, too weak to rise,
wnile the count was tolled.
Johnson arrived at the arena at 2:lO
O'Clock and Immediately donned his
fighting togs.
At that hour the betting remained
unchanged that Johnson would win,
the odas being 10 to 4 in favor of the
negro.
Ketche1 arrived at 2:27 o'clock and
went at once to his dressing room. Il
never felt better in my life," said he.

The death of Capt. William Lee
Morris, youngest son of the late Capt.
James w. and Mrs. Nancy Lee Morris,
and brother of the late John r. Nor

last night at 11:50 o'clock, after a

RELICS OF THE STONE AGE.
Spear Heads at Drums Made by Pre-.

0eceSSOfS OF 1nO1a0S
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 13.-Stephen En-
gle, Sr., an archaeologist of this city,
Saturday examined the relics found
last week on the farm Of Charles Brig
haupt, of Drums, while men were dig
ging well and pronounced them
spear heads used by aborigines who
are supposed to- nave lived in this
country during the Stone Age, long
before the advent of the Indian.
The spear heads are of flint, which
show signs OF. decay. Flint is mate
rial that does not begin to crumble
until very old. According to Mr.. En-
gle, who has made study of the sub
ject, the Indians who thrived here
abouts during colonial times used
spear heads and arrow heads Of a
make more modern than the ones un-
earthed at Drums. Spear heads of the
kind on the .Brighaupt farm have been
found along river beds occasionally
showing that they were in use at the
time when huge>glaciers were slowly
working their way to outlets between
the mountains of this part of the state
Many inquiries have been received
about the spear heads by Mr.. Brig
haupt, who has placed them on exhibi

AT FRIENDS CHURCH.
Miss Fry Speaks to Large Congrega.
ton Friday Night.

A nice audience gathered last Fri
day night at the Friends Church in
this city to see and hear Miss Sophia
Fry, the daughter of Sir Theodore Fry,
of London, Eng. They found a lady
plainly but tastily dressed in the sim
plicity of the English Friends. The
pastor, the Rev. w. II. Hubbard, con-
Quoted the opening exercises and in
troduced Miss Fry with a few appro-
pirate sentences.
Miss Fry is not what we Americans
would call a forcefu1 or eloquent
speaker. We are apt to want a speak
er to make "an able-bodied effort -
whether he has anything to say or not
While Miss Fry had none of the dash
and boldness Of the professional
speaker, she did have the modest
bearing and poise of the cultured lady.
She was not long in convincing the
discerning portion of her audience
that she had message for them, and
that she was able to give it in the
purest English. Her diction was good
her sentences were terse, no surplus
age of words. The thoughts of the
message were arranged according to
plan and purpose, though she spoke
without notes or manuscript.
Her text was Jacobs ladder. Jacot
saw the angels ascending and de.
of the ladder. How shall we get uI
to God? Jesus Christ is the way fol
us up to God. He said, ''No man com
eth unto the Father but by me-" &c.
am the way, the truth, and the life"
The Rounds of the Ladder.
She said:

We have ability to know and to choos
the right. She enforced this, that witt
a beautiful illustration from one o

as Faith. without faith, it is impos
sible to please God"
3. The third round she called "open
ing the door of our hearts to let tn
Saviour in." Jesus said, Behold,
stand at the door and knock; if an
man will open the door I will com
in and sup with him and he with me.
She said "the latch is on our side c
the door, we must open it if we woul
receive Him.
4. We must give Him control of tn
house when He is in.
ALI these points were enforced
most apt illustrations. The audienc
was so well pleased that large nun

Miss Fry and thanked her for he

Investigation.

London, Oct. 17.-An impenetrable
mystery surrounds the death early to-
day at St. Georges Hospital of w. 1.
Buchanan, diplomat and first United
States Minister to Panama, and in
London as an agent of the United
States government, who, attired in
evening dress, was found unconscious
in Park Lane shortly after midnight.
The policeman who discovered the
unconscious man called an ambulance,
which conveyed him to the hospital,
where death followed within an hour
of his arrival.
Examination of the body caused q
sergeant of the Vine street station to
communicate with Scotland Yard, and
within an hour Of the diplomats death
a dozen detectives were securing the
aristocratic neighborhood in which
the dying man was found for clews to
the-s solution of the mystery.
The only clew to Identification was
the name, "W. L. Buchanan" en-
graved on gold signet ring worn on
finger of the left hand
Mr.. Buchanan had been stopping at
Claridges Hotel, and the body was
Identified late this afternoon by M.
Brachini, the manager. The house
surgeon at st. Georges Hospital, who
attempted to revive Buchanan before
death, said:
$50 far as l could see, there were
| no evidences of foul play. In all like
lihood death was due to heart failure
Mr.. Buchanan appeared to be about
| fifty-six years old and not strong"
The sergeant at the Vine street sta
tion said: THE case is mystery to
us up to the present. twenty-five dol

silver were found in the dead mans

| This may or may not disprove the
theory that Buchanan was attacked
and murdered by thugs"

By unanimous agreement of the LID

The saloons were perfectly willing

FIying-The Second Stage.

New York World.
The decision of the Wright brothers
to give no more demonstration flights,
but to edevote their time hereafter to
teaching aviators and making and
selling aeroplanes, brings flying to its
second stage. Experiments will not
cease, but the making of aeroplanes
has become an established commercial
business.
Glenn Curtiss may be right in pre-
dieting that it will require years and
years" to perfect airships. When he
has added that they are splendid
sporting machines" and that "as an
aid in warfare they have already ar
rived he has said enough to show
why the Wrights need bigger fac
tory.
The seven leading nations are
spending ST. 100000 year on war
preparations. They will put money
into aeroplanes and dirigibles as fast
as conservatism will permit and the
new vehicles prove their feasibility.
The thought of carrying passengers
and especially freight, through the
air need not trouble inventors for the
present. 1t may never prove practi-
cal.
BY comparison with airship ano
aeropIane developments the balloons
in the ST. Louis and Zurich races have
attracted little attention. The wrole
has known for century that men cal

THE GOULD MILLIONS.

The Gould separation suit. apart
from the sidelights il has thrown on
millionaire social customs has served
the useful purpose of disclosing the
present size of the Gould fortune.
According to the testimony of
George jay Gould, the estate has re-
manned undivided and on January /.
1906, amounted to so million dollars,
the annual income from which is APP
proximately 5 million dollars 1t
compares with the original Wander
bilt fortune of 80 million dollars left
by the commodore in 1877 and in
creased by William II. Vanderbilt to
200 million dollars on his death in
1885.
The Gould fortune is interesting
by reason of the extent to which 1t
has remained intact in the second
generation. If indeed it has not been
augmented, in spite of the inroads of
extravaganza and while exposed to
the attacks of hostile capital. 1t is
perhaps most interesting as the
unique example of great wealth in
this country accumulated under CON
ditions which in the present state of
public opinion with regard to swollen
fortunes would not be tolerated. 1t
bears the taint of Black Friday and
the gold corner and is spotted with
dark episodes to which the law would
no longer serve as a passive instru-
ment. The discreditable chapter of
Erie" is not likely ever to be repeat
ed.
1t is to be said that the Gould mil
lions under their present control have
largely redeemed their old reputa-
tion. They are not now employed
for predatory ends, but are more and
more devoted to the less harmful uses
OF lavish display and in part to phil
anthropy. To what extent this al
tered policy is due to feminine in
fiuence need not be discussed.=New
