London, Nov 3O.-Jem Mace. the hero of many prize fights, died today at Jarrow-onTyne of old age. He was Tn his 79th year. Mace was at one time worth more than S1,O00,000 but of recent years he had been dependent upon the assistance of friends. Occa- sionally he had appeared in music hall exhibitions.
 Jem Mace was born at Beeston in Norfolk. and in his day was one of the greatest of boxers. His first great fight was with Bill Thorpe, whom he beat in eighteen rounds
 When Tom Savers retired from the championship in 1860 Mace was re- garded as his legitimate successor, but his supremacy was soon challenged by Tom King. The two met in January, 1862, when after forty-three rounds Mace was given the verdict.
 For the next ten years he was prac- tically invincible.

 or not, he should be made to feel that he has done something he should not. Parents can well afford to deny guns and pistols to their boys until they have reached such ages as will make them capable of realizing their dan
 gers. If they must have guns, they 1 should be cautioned against careless use of them. It sometimes seems trite 1 to speak of warning boys against such
 things, but if they were warned often enough such distressing accidents would be fewer.-Omaha Bee.

LAST OF GRAND CENTRAL
Modern Building viii Replace
Old 42d Street Landmark.

The work OF tearing down the old Grand

is only a shell Of the original building left
there has been no interruption to the traf-
fic, which amounts 10 sixty thousand pas
sengers conveyed by four hundred trains
a day.
The final act Of demolition IS the removal
Of the 42d street front, and with it the waiting
room, TO make room for the new building
to be erected on the present site. That this
work may not interfere with traffic, pro-
visions have been made TO use the Lexing-
ton avenue temporary terminal at 4Sd street
and Lexington avenue.
Pending the erection of the new building
the Lexington avenue terminal viii be used
for the arrival and departure OF all trains.

on 43d street, Just west Of Lexington ave-

baggage to check.
There is also an entrance on Lexington

concourse overlooking the train platforms
This entrance is recommended by the gen

TO the trains without passing through the
waiting room. For the accommodation OF
passengers arriving by way OF the subway
or Madison avenue lines an entrance will
be maintained on Vanderbilt avenue, Just
north Of 42d street.
The new waiting room in the Lexington
avenue terminal is much larger than the
old, and there are more tracks and greater
space on the concourse than at any time
