This Oddly Named Boat of Weird Design Is Intended to

When the German yachtsmen who
race in the waters off Kiel evolved the
type Of boat we know as the sender
class and which is attracting much
attention just now through the series
of races being sailed at Marblehead
they were Of one mind regarding the
appearance of the boat. Nothing like it
had ever been seen in the waters OF
Europe, and so they decided to call the
type sender klasse," for sender"

There is also a feeling that some of the

adding to the Republican strength.

to fight As or more rounds to a
finish, not later than July 5, 1910,

financial inducements, the winner to

per cent of the purse, and the loser
rs per cent
The preliminary discussion was
scheduled for o'clock at the Hotel
Albany Jeffries and his manager
were punctual to the minute, but
Johnson elbowed his way difFidently
through the crowd 10 minutes late.
At the table, as the men took
their places, sat Jeffries,. with Bob
Vernon at his left and Sam Berger,
his manager, at his right; Johnson,
with George Little, his manager, at
his right, then George Considine,
Honest John" Kelly, Sam Harris,
Sam Nelson, Bob Murphy, and other
well known sporting men.
Jeffries eyed the negro curiously
but did not meet his glance. John
son was affable, but showed his
nervousness by frequent grins and
the constant clicking of two red
dice which he carried half concealed
in the palm of his right hand. The
two principals posed for a photog-
rapher and when the smoke of the
f1ashlight had cleared away, got
down to business Jeffries let Ber-

quently broke in on his manager
with suggestions and objections.
In spite of Johnson "butting in"
it was remarked as the articles took

tended.

NATCHEZ, Miss, Oct. 29.-Like

to the president in his address at

The Mississippi river, in its pow
ef, in its willingness to make ed
dies and trouble, in it's beauty, for
it has great beauty, as we saw when
we came down, it reminds me-

erful woman. Properly directed

blazing that the word was given to
the volunteers to clean the building
of its furnishings In about five
minutes every article of value, in
Guiding the dors and windows, had
been carried outside, and at that
time the house was mass of seeth e.
ing flames.
For a brief period it appeared
that the building adjoining the
Keith house would also be con-
sumed, and a half hundred men set
to work to remove this dwelling to
place of safety 1t was lifted
bodily from the foundation and
moved some 25 or 80 feet away
from the path of the flames. This
building is owned by Harry Crock
EFT, formerly of the Nevada First
National bank, who is now in San
Francisco.
The residences in the rear owned
by Miss c. Marsh, Jack Day and c.
l.. Booth, were saved by the bucket
brigade and the use of wet blan-
kets.
The loss of the Grimes building
will total about $4,000, which is COW
cred by a small amount of insur-
ance The loss of the Keith resi-
dence will probably reach $1,000,
and it is not known if any insurance
was carried.
Had there been sufficient water to
keep one nozzle in operation, the
Keith house could have been saved
easily, and it is also probable that
the fire could have been extin-
guished before it had completely de-
stroyed Billy Grimes home He
saved but little of his personal and
household effects The fire lasted
for over an hour and many people
were drawn to the scene by the
bright glare.

Ihat the water supply upon which
Tonopah is dependent in case of
fire, is not in any way up to the
standard, was again demonstrated
last night when a fire broke out in
the residence of w. NJ. Grimes in
the southern section of the town
near the high school.
The alarm was sounded at 1920
and the departments, both paid and
volunteer, were on the ground in
no time. The flames at that time
were breaking through the roof and
it looked as if the prompt usage OF
water would suffice to quench the
confiagration. Then after a weary
wait of a few minutes the fire boys
discovered that there was not pres
sure enough to force the water up
the hill and the hose had to be
abandoned and all efforts turned to-
ward saving the adjoining build
ings by the use of wet blankets,
bucket brigades and the chemical
from the fire wagon.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Grimes, who was awakened from
her sleep by the cracking of the
flames. At that time the clothes
closet in her sleeping apartments
was ablaze. Securing her two child
ren, she ran hastily from the house
and sounded the alarm. Mrs. T. f.

residence, heard Mrs. Grimes give
the alarm, and Immediately notified
