MEN FIGHT LIKE ANIMALS
Fistic Experts Declare Wolgast
Almost Killed Nelson.

San Francisco-Battling Nelson is no
longer champion, but the extent OF his
powers of endurance is still a thing TO
be guessed at. His fight with AID VOL
CAST at Richmond was stopped by Eddie
Smith in the fortieth round at a time
when Nelson stood on his feet. But the
referee acted wisely, for one or two
rounds before the last Nelson leaned
across the ropes in a manner that sug-
gested impending collapse.
His face was punched out of all sem
blance to a human countenance, and
great strawberry blotches around his
stomach and hips bore testimony to the
merciless battering of Wolgast's fists.
Nelson was too feeble to fight on with
any hope of success. Wolgast's eyes
were snappy, while Nelson's were lus-
terless. The Dane had lost all sense OF
distance and direction, and could only
fling out his arms in a feeble way.

SCENT FARE REINSTATED.
M, K. & T. and Santa Fe Show U. S.
Judge Hook.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Over all Okla
homa lines of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad, Tuesday, a passenger
fare of three. cents was charged, the or
der reinstating the fare having gone
into effect Immediately after midnight.
It is believed that the Santa Fe, the
other road involved in the recent deci-
sion of United States Judge Hook at st.
Louis will shortly reinstate q three-cent
fare. The Oklahoma constitution fixed a
two-cent passenger fare, but gave the
corporation commission authority to re-
lieve railroads from the fare when it
was shown hat it was not profitable to
the roads. This the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas and Santa Fe showed to the

Mineral DEPOSITS.

Washington.-The recent startling tes-

deposits of Alaska. The other prohibits

CAMPING.

A week or two before the Easter
vacation a friend and 1 decided it
would be great sport to use the first
three days for camping somewhere.
The best place we could think of near
the city and yet away from "civiliza-
ton" was a small island a few hum
dred feet from the shore of Long ISL
and Sound, just south of New Ro-
chelle. By good luck cousin of mine
who camps out in summer had a tent,
two cots and cooking utensils, which
he was glad to let US have. In the
way of food we took a dozen eggs
carefully wrapped, some bacon, lard,
and canned meats and vegetables.
We also took our rifles along, four
hundred bullets and fishing tackle.
On the first day (Monday) we ar
rived at New Rochelle at about $50
O'Clock, and soon had our outfit
stored in a good sized rowboat which
belonged to my friend. In fifteen
minutes the boat grated on small
sandy beach of the island we were to
occupy. After fastening the boat we
found a good place for the tent, set
it up and found safe corner for our
supplies. The fun We had for the
next three days would nearly fill a
book, and therefore l cannot say
much about it. We shot at targets
and floating bottles, caught fish and
had them at our meals, and on the
whole had the time of our lives.-

the startling reply of Smith.

THE OTTER.

The vi Elk.
In the Washington Geological Park,
down next the beavers quarters, are
two otters. People going to the brook
during the day must content them
selves looking at the offers. for the
beavers sleep all day, and do their
work after sunset. The offers are
always out, playing like kittens. Of
ten the visitors call them beavers,
but they would never again do so if
they could contrast the two animals.
Their point of closest similarity con-
si5ts in spending much of their time
in the water. The otter is darker
brown and is a much more slender
animal. In fact, with its thick whis-
kers, it looks not unlike cat as it
swims about with its head out of the
water, says the Churchman.
When it drags its body upon the
bank one sees that the legs are short
er than cats, and the tail, which is
broad and strong, is f1attened more
like a beavers. 1t is unlike the beav-
er's in tapering toward the end, for
it does rot need to use its tail as a
mason's trowel, as the beaver does.
In reality the otter is a very dis
tinct creature, not like any other an
imal 1t is found all over the world,
and is much alike in all places. The
points of difference are not unlike the
difference which exist between men
in different parts of the world, being
mainly variations in color and size.
They are much priced by trappers for
their fur, those OF Labrador and Can
ada being especially beautiful.
Once there we're great many OF
ters in England, but the little crea-
lures we're too fond of fish to please
the fishermen, so otter hunting with
dogs became a fashionable sport.
Hounds especially trained for that
purpose hunted down and brought the
otter to bay, and they we're killed
with long spears carried by the hunt
ers. In India and China the animals
fondness for fish has been turned to
good account. In the former coun-
try it has been taught to drive fish
into nets, while in China the otter is
allowed to go into the stream to catch
fish and is then drawn out by means
Of a rope held on shore. This is a
very satisfactory way of getting fish,
as the animal never eats its prey un-
til it reaches shore, and thus it is Sc
cured in a perfect state.-Newark
