BROWN is TOO FAST
FOR THE CHAMPION.


New York, N. Y, March f.-Valen-
tine (Knockout) Brown, the New York
lightweight, gained a popular decision
over AID Wolgast, worlds lightweight
champion. i'm a slashing round
bout here last night.
The crowd of 5000 which saw the
fight voted Brown the victor, although
the law requires that no decisions be
rendered.
Brown forced the fighting from the
start, and, on the whole. gave more
punishment than he received.
In the clinches WoIgast showed SUI
perior ringmanship with his infighting.
His tactics were so rough, however,
that they brought Kisses from the
spectators.
| Neither man was i'm distress at any
time during the bout and no blood
was drawn. In the last round Brown
was backing toward the ropes as VOL
CAST rushed him. They clinched and
rolled through the ropes together and
Brown would have fallen from the ring
had not a cluster of hands showed him
back.

LITTLE JACK.

Day after day i saw him brave
The searching winds or piercing
sleet;
His cry a plaintive voice of pain,
Rose DER the rattle of the street;
A sweet, sad face. grown old in grief
A childhood stretched upon LIES
rack
That smote one with its lonesome
look;
The gamins called him Little Jack.
He was his mothers only JOY,
Sad heir unto a heritage
That snatched him from her hapless
arms
And plunged him into aches and
age;
For her he trod the pulseless mart
For her the tatters on his back
For her he smiled at mock and jeer
When gamins called him Ragged
Jack.
And Gay by day l saw him fail.
Despite his high resolve to win:
While GOODNESS killed and chilled
without
His soul, a fire, burned all within.
One morn | missed him from the
street
And guessed that Death was on his
track
In angel guise, all light and smiles.
Death must appear to such as Jack.
Down famine-haunted lanes | went.
Where shamefaced Virtue sinks
away
Hung clammy on the skirts of day.
Then up. and up-the doubtful stairs
At every step groaned crick-a-cracl;
| Till but the roof lay dark between
The skies and home of Little Jack.
Stretched on a pallet fair, he lay
The glory of his wondrous eyes
Twin flames that burned his waXen
checks
Were caught up by the plying
skies;
And near to him his mother watched
In grief too deep for tears. Alack!
No more shall earth he glad for her
Her joy has flown with Little Jack
Then. looking on with holy awe.
said, "Ah, Goa of earth and sky.
How near to thee this child has drawn
Alas! how far away am l."
But yesterday he roamed the streets,
And all was lowering cold and black,
And now he sits beside the Throne!
oh, happy happy Little Jack.
Whenever in the hurrying crowd
meet poor. barefooted child,
With wasted check. but wondrous
light
Aname within his blue eyes mild,
stand in reverence, and l think,
For all the tatters on his back.
Hes but an angel in disguise
An angel such as Little Jack"

Stray Bits Of News From
Little Old New York

During the last few years quite a
number of old landmarks, mostly
buildings erected I'm colonial days and
more or less interesting on account of
historical associations, were destroyed
by fire in or around New York. Near
ly i'm every case circumstances clear
~ indicated incendiarism. but not In
a single case were the police authOri-
ties able to obtain a clue to the sup
posed incendiaries. The other day a
colonial house in Fresh Pond Road,
Middle Village, Queens, i'm which
Washington is said to have slept one
night, was destroyed by fire of clearly
incendiary nature Six hours later the
barn belonging to that same house
burned TO the ground. The police be-
lieve that they have TO deal with a
clever incendiary who has particular
antipathy to landmarks The number
of incendiary fires in the city is in
creasing and in many cases the cir
cumstances under which the fires orig
mated were of such a peculiar nature
that it is believed by experts that these
fires are the work of some insane per-
son or persons, with Il mania for in
cendiarism and with extraordinary
cunning i'm covering up their tracks
and destroying every clue.

The harem skirt had hardly made its
first appearance on the streets of New
York when a dangerous rival. an even
newer creation of the dressmaker's
art, sailed into port. The newest thin
is called the four quarter skirt. 1t
came in on the steamship Prinz Fried
rich Wilhelm and it caused great ox-
element whenever it appeared on dc k
during the voyage across. The &C.
sgner of the four-quarter skirt has
made no attempt to obtain a trousers
effect. The new garment is like the
directolre skirt, only much more SO.
Instead of being slit on one side it is
slit i'm front, behind. and on both sides.
This divides il into quarters and
gives an excuse for its name. At the
bottom flaps are fastened together
This gives ii in a heavy gale the APP
pearance of a ruptured balloon, but it
prevents the flaps from getting in the
wearer's eyes and obstructing her
vision.

Frank j. Gould, who married Edith
Kelly. is to build a big hotel and play
house in Paris. it is learned in New
York, in the Boulevard des Capuchins.
Gould's ally is said to be Charles T..
Taft, who is interested with Gould in
the hotel under construction on Thir-
ty-fourth street. The Paris authorities
will permit the millionaire to make
the hotel a seven-story building, pro-
vided the two upper stories are of
glass. The cost of the structure, which
will be connected by tunnel and bridge,
will be $6,OOO.OOO or 100000 The
theater will not be large, but it is said
will teach the French much in the way
of comfort. 1t will have the advantage
of location over the Theater Sarah

Henry Meyer. an employee of the
Ironclad Manufacturing company of
Brooklyn, reported to the police that
$4,000, all the money he had. the saw
ings of a lifetime, was lost because he
had not trusted savings banks and had
his wealth in battered old milk can
in a corner of the factory where he
was employed. During a financial
scare some time ago Meyer, who was
planning to go back to Germany to
spend the last of his days, decided his
money would be safer in his care than
i'm any bank, and drew out his $4,000.
For years he had seen the old battered
milk can in the corner of an unused
part of the factory. 1t was the very
place to conceal his money, thought
Meyer, and into the bottom of the can
he dumped big rolls of bills, When he
went to work yesterday he looked in
to the corner, as was his custom but
the can was gone. So was Meyers
