Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist,
decisively defeated Jim Jeffries in
their contest for the worlds heavy
weight championship. at Reno, New.

the moment the men raised their
guard. Jeffries, though the heavier
and more rugged in build, lacked in
speed, strength and endurance, as
we'll as ability to Withstand punish
ment. johnson was a marvel of
skill, science and power. After the
first few rounds, in which he worked
cautiously and took the measure of
his man, the negro seemed to toy
with his antagonist, hitting him al
most at will, while Jeffries, though
he bored in could not reach the other
fighter with any effect. 1t was a
clean victory for the black man.
Jeffries, in spite of his long training
was unable to "come back" He
had almost none of his old power,
and his endurance was gone. AS a
fight it was poor spectacle, the
men beng altogether unmatched
More interest was attached to this
mill than any before. All of the
well-known figures in pugilism
were in or about the ring, including
Corbett, Sharkey, Sullivan, Fitz
simmons, Ryan and Choyinski
The stakes were q fortune, of which
the winner got 60 and the loser 4C

BRUTAL FOOTPADS
INJURE WOMAN
Throw Defenseless Victim to
Pavement and Secure $I2
From Her Purse q

After she left an Ingleside car to go
to her home at 153 Howth street late
Monday night after attending a union
meeting at Fourteenth and Mission
streets, Mrs Giovannia Delgliantoni
was attacked by two footpads and
robbed of $12. She is under the care
of DR.. c. I. Young, who says that she
has been internally injured.
Mrs Delgliantoni believes that the
two men had been on the car and fol-
lowed her after she left it. She had
walked about so feet when one of the
men grabbed hold of her arms and the
other. who was behind her, placed a
handkerchief over her mouth. She
struggled to free herself and was
thrown to the ground on her back.
Both of the brutal footpads put their
knees on her breasts and stomach and
one tried to force her wedding ring off
her finger. but failed. They took her
purse, containing s12, from her pocket.
She lay almost unconscious from pain
for some minutes and then managed to
stagger to her home, and her husband
summoned the physician. The police
were notified and Detective McGrath
has been detailed on the case. She was
only able to describe one of the men.
He was about % years of age, smooth
shaven, 5 feet inches tall, weight
about $50 pounds.

and Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Charles Nagel made a tour of inspec-
ton embracing all Alaskan stations of

The trip gave the officials a first
hand insight into the affairs of the
northern territory which will prove of
high value to commercial and judicial
interests of Alaska.
Captain c. NJ. Mccormick, commander
of the Albatross. found that many In
canneries, supplanting, in a measure,

While the Albatross was in the
northern waters the revenue cutters
Manning and Perry captured three
Japanese seal poachfng vessels and
turned them over to the government
authorities. Captain McCormick's fore
sight in putting into port at I'm

sions saved his ship from storms that
would have done serious damage. A

coast in one instance, but the COM

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring. they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools in
a Southern state says: MY mother,
since her early childhood, was an in
veterate coffee drinker. had been
troubled with her heart for number
of years and complained of that weak
all over" feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago, 1 was making an
official visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. 1 noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. 1 was so
pleased with it that after the meal
was over, I bought a package to carry
home with me. and had wife prepare
some for the next meal; the whole fam
lily liked it so we'll that we discontin
ued coffee and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition mucn improved.
This continued until she was as we'll
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family, but in a more marked degree
in the case of my mother, as she was
a victim of long standing"

COAST ARTUI ERY COMPANIES PRACTICE WITH BIG GUNS
FIRING At floating TARGETS NEARLY 5000 YARDS FROM SHORE
Accuracy of Aim Makes Shots Costly to
United States War Department

IL inch mortars of Battery McKinnon
were put into action.
Four rounds were fired at the sta
tionary target and 10 rounds at the
moving one. 1t was difficult for even
the most experienced to determine the
efficiency of the shooting, but it was
the opinion of nearly every one who
witnessed the firing that it was above
fair at the minimum.
Captain Murphy said last night that
he would be unable to give the definite
results of the days work until the
proper calculations were completed
AS nearly as he could judge he said
he thought the practice creditabIe. II
is certain all events that the shooting
did not lower the standing of the COM
panieS.
PRACTICE PROVES COSTLY
The remarkable records that are
constantly being made in target prac-
tice at the Preside afford amusement
to the men of the post in the face of
numerous communications from the
war department. al Washington For
some time the war department has been
worrying about the unusual amount of
material for target practice demanded
by the San Francisco Presidio. In re-
ply to queries as to the use to which
these materials have been put it has
been simply answered: I'VE hit the
targets, that's all"
In nearly every target practice the
wreckage of targets has been con-
sistent. In most every case some vital
and expensive portion of the target
has been demolished. Nine shots out
of 10 go through the nets of the target,
but the tenth is almost certain to de-
stfoy one of the three metal supports
or smash the float beyond repair. Cap
tain Murphy and his men have a num-
Der of these wreckages to their credit.
