PICTURES OF THE FIGHT.
Scranton Has EN- and They Show
How Jack Licked JEFF.

More than ordinary interest is at
tached to the genuine Jeffries and
Johnson fight pictures being exhibit
ed in Music hall, Scranton, as the
films show the white gladiator in his
every ring move, clearing many of
the stories about his condition, the
knockout, Richards interference and
Johnson's real ability as a fighter.
The pictures are very clear and the
individual can follow every blow of
the fighters with perfect ease.
Johnson is the aggressor in nearly
every round, displaying dash and
confidence. Jeff seems to hesitate
where to land his blows and fails to
make an apparent effect on his OPP
ponent "Lanky Bob" Armstrong,
Jeffries' big colored trainer, at pres
ent in Scranton, is easily discernible
in the pictures, holding a large COW
ering over the white fighter between
the rounds. The pictures not only
present clearly the blows of every
round, but also give the spectators
interesting views of the trainers,
men known from country to country

the governor OF Colorado and other
notables.

Burglars Travel in Auto and Raid
Many Places.
A gang of burglars which it is be-
lieved, is travelling through the coun-
try by automobile, operated in three
villages in Sullivan county, n. Y, in
two nights. Thursday night the bur-
lars visited Liberty, where they ran

revolvers, two rifles and several
hundred rounds of ammunition and
other articles.

Keystone Crowd Uses Caution About
Congressional Candidates.

The endorsement of congressional
candidates by the Keystone party is
to be handled with the same motions
as a two-edged sword. A conference
was held between William H. Berry,
candidate for governor, and Eugene
c. Bonniwell, who is to him as Da-
mon to Pythias, in Philadelphia, and
they agreed it is a hazardous under
taking to handle the problem.
What they fear is the tariff may
be injected into the state campaign
if congressional candidates are en-
dorsed without careful discrimina-
ton.
In Bradford county George w.
Kipp, the Democratic candidate for
congress, has been endorsed, but
there the fight is on Candidate
Charles C. Pratt of the Republicans
personally.

years and made both callings profit
able. He was married So years ago
to Elizabeth Spry, daughter of Will
liam Spry, a well known resident of

A New Problem in Mathematics.

NJ. E. Simons and Peter H. Iloff,
two bright members of the Wayne
county bar who are on opposite sides
of the political fence, had vigorous
argument of mathematical char
acter Wednesday morning while
waiting for the 1890 mail.
"Mr. -" said Mr.. Iloff, has
more practice than any two lawyers
in this town"
"How so?" queried the district at
torney, who taught school quite a
spell before he studied law and has
a head for figures. How can a man
have twice as much business as he
has himself? You should have said,
More practice than any two outside
his office!'"
Mr.. Iloff said he wouldn't stand
corrected. The layman close to the
elbows of both men said the problem
was an impossible problem-that
you might just as we'll try to deter
mine the age of Ann. Ann, accord

mathematical nightmare of 1904, was

Don't Dodge in Front of Trains.

The Sullivan county Democrat has
the following to say about a bad
practice by no means confined to
Callicoon or Sullivan county:
There are several men in town
who make practice of crawling
under the passenger trains while they
are standing at the station. Some
day one of these trains is going to
move at the inopportune moment
and then the obsequies will be read
over the unfortunate. Another prac-
tice which Is equally as foolhardy is
that of crossing the track ahead of
trains. One man in particular gen.
orally waits at the Western hotel
until the passenger trains get within
hundred feet or so of the crossing
and then runs across ahead of them,
usually having fifteen or twenty feet
leeway. We are going TO write the
obituaries of all these people and
have them ready for publication
when the Sad event" occurs.
