GOSSIP ABOUT THE
PUGS and OTHERS

San Francisco, March 26.-What
! if Jack Johnson should go to jail?
Maybe this question isn't running
through the minds of Gleason and
/ Tex Rickard days and nights. The
promoters of the great heavyweight
| battle affect to be unperturbed, but
| low down they are doing a lot of
/ worrying, for in Judge Mulqueen,
the negro champion faces a jurist
who sets the law above everything
else.
Pull" and sympathy have no
place in his legal lexicon. In New
York he is known as the Iron
Judge" and it has ever been said of
him that where conclusive guilt of q.
culprit brought before him has been
shown, the limit of the law was
handed out, without regard to race,
creed or previous condition of SER
vitude
Terefore if Norman Pinder, the
victim of Johnson's wrath, comes
into court, testifies against his as
sailant and makes that testimony
stick, things win go hard with John
son. Six months on Blackwell's Is
land might be his fate. On the
other hand, if Pinder fails to appear
Judge Mulqueen undoubtedly will
carry out his threat to turn the
grand jury loose on the case, and IL
it can be shown that Johnson is in
any way responsible for Pinder's
disappearance the black giant would
be in fair way to do a shuttle in the
line at Sing Sing.
That Johnson is in bad hole is
fully realized by Rickard and Glea-
son. If the negro should be given
the butt end of the law it will mean
to them the loss of thousands of dol
lars, for, even should they pull the
fight off six months or even four
months after July 4, much interest
in the contest will have been lost
and in the meantime the money they
will have expended in the arena and
in the promoting the affair will have
lost, temporarily, its coming power.
How Johnson can get out of the
predicament is something the pessi-
mist is trying hard to figure out.
If Johnson succeeds in getting out
of this scrape, Gleason and Rickard
should at once see to it that he is
constantly guarded by a corps of
huskies capable of keeping the black
out of trouble. 1t not only will
save them a lot of money, but their
peace of mind as we'll.

Crockery in the Fertilizer.

Charles Matlock, the janitor and
care-taker of the county courthouse
and its spacious lawn, is having the
time of his life, making grass fly.
since Old Sol has been coaxing the
beautiful green out of the ground
for the past week. Janitor Matlock
had nearly given up hopes of being
compelled to sharpen up his lawn
mower this year, but the lawn re-
quires a haircut at least twice a
week now and is showing a tendency
to outdo the barber. Several weeks
ago the janitor spread street clean
ings about the lawn to serve as fer
tilizer, but this plan is now proving
disastrous to lawn mowers, on ac-
count of the hundreds of bits of
wire, glass and other fragments be-
ing mixed with the sweepings.

is the sentence now being imposed
on such subjects by Judge Elgin,
and afterward, a quiet invitation is

must leave the city Immediately.
Last evening the night police took
in charge two husky men who were
going about the city, approaching
every prosperous looking citizen
met and asking that a few cents be
given them to eat CD on. They
piled their trade once too often,
however, and this morning were sen
fenced to five days.

To some, it may be inconceivable
that Ketchel has gone so far back
as to go through six rounds with a
man of Klaus caliber without get
ting better than a doubtful draw,
but they do not know what he has
gone through in the past five months.
To give Ketchel the benefit of the
doubt, it is only fair to say that he
may have neglected to train for
Klaus, believing that he would not
have much trouble with him, but
Ketchel surely heard of the close call

LITTLE BABE WAS IN BASKET
1T WAS BROUGHT A DISTANCE
OF A THOUSAND MILES.
Mother Died in the West, and Father
Came With Infant to the Old
Home in Stewart County.


Conductor Hurley of the Seaboard
was in Americas yesterday morning
at the end of a run, and told a most
interesting story of little passenger
aboard his train out of Montgomery
the day before, a tiny bit of humanity
that had made trip of a thousand
miles in a basket.
Conductor Hurley observed a male
passenger handling a covered market
basket with great care, and was
prompted to ask what the willow re-
ceptacle contained.
Without replying the man removed
the cover and showed Capt. Hurley
a dimpled baby a month old.

tured, land | am carrying it back to

The little chap was sleeping com
fortably, and seemed in the pink of
condition.
The Georgia wife of one year, as
stated, had died a thousand miles
away from her home, and her little
babe was being brought back by it's
father to her mother in Stewart coun-
ty, who could best rear it and care
for it.
The devoted father handled it al
carefully as he would precious gem.
and never left the seat upon which
the basket reposed. He carried a
small alcohol stove, and with this
warmed up the milk given the little
traveller. After three days en- route
he reached the old home near Lump

basket in the waiting room, and a
sensation resulted momentarily, I'M

new METHODIST BISHOPS
THE MAJORITY ARE COLLEGE
PROFESSORS AND TEACHERS.
Will Enter Upon New Duties Well
Qualified to Discharge Every obi
CATION Placed Upon Them.


Local Methodists have been very
much interested in the election of
bishops, and now that the cabinet
has been completed inquiry is being
made as to who they are and the
positions they occupy in the church.
All the new bishops are able men,
and will adapt themselves to their
new positions readily. They will
give a good account of themselves
and the church will prosper under
their administration.
One remarkable feature about the
new bishops that have been named
by the conference is the fact that the
majority of them are college presi-
dents.
