saloon in Detroit, but it was a losing venture A year or two ago it was re- ported that the Kid was a physical and mental wreck, but he pulled himself together, climbed aboard the water wagon, and worked such a physical transformation in himself that he thought seriously of having another try at the Diff game. It has recently been suggested that Lavigne and Dick Burge, the former English lightweight champion who was defeated by the Saginaw Kid in a memorable bout, could make good thing of it by tour ing the tWo-a-day houses of America, and there is little doubt that all the time fight fans would flock to such an entertainment. Layigne might do clog dance, for during his cham pfonship days he was fonder of clog dancing chan of boxing. He was fond of all kinds of dancing, and had an am bition to shine in the ballroom and on the stage.
 As a youth, Lavigne developed his muscles by loading on barges at sagf- now, Mich. He first put on the gloves with Tommy Ryan, then welterweight champion, and liked the game so we'll that he soon determined to adopt it as a profession. In one of his first important bouts, that with Andy Bowen at New Orleans, his opponent was killed. Other early bouts were with George Siggons, Lavigne's first session with that iron fighter. going seventy-seven rounds to a draw, and the second f1fty-fve rounds with the same result. In 1891 he whipped Joe Sotto in San Francisco, and then cleaned up 8 number of other light weights, after which he whipped Joe Walcott, the great negro welterweight, in two fierce battles. In 1896 Jack McAuliffe retired the undefeated lightweight champion, and Lavigne took over the title. He went over to London and fought Dick Burge, who was then nearer a niddleweight than a lightweight, and whipped him. Dis sipation and drink then got in their work with LaYigne, and in 1899, at title to Frank Erne. A little later the great little French-Canadian was knocked out by George McFadden, and his ring career was over.

ILLUMINATION For Commercial and Residential Purposes

The well lighted store attracts trade It is the aim of the merchant to locate his store near the traffic center possible, but poorly lighted store in the citys busy thoroughfare is, to say the least, poor economy, and shows lack of civic pride The aggressive business man is making every effort both by day and night to attract the eye to his windows and interest to his wares, through advertising of various kinds
 The live merchant keeps his windows bril- liantly lighted every night in the week because he knows that although his store may be closed, selections are made from the displayed stock and many times the SALE is made before the customerNenters the store.
 The electric sign is the greatest advertising adjunct to the business, because it flashes upon the mind in a definite way than any other, LOCATION and the LINE carried.
 This company has emphasized this point and is ready to advise and cooperate with the merchants in the matter of light arrangement and sign selection for effective night illumina- ton and advertising purposes.
 The same careful attention to illumination in the home is given, for both comfort and con- venience as well economy are the issues to be met.

HER MIND ASLEEP 19 YEARS.
After Operation Woman's Faculties
Awake from Long Oblivion.

Atlanta, Ca, March 20.-Loca
physicians are puzzled over the case
of Mrs. Carrie B. Jordan of this city
who yesterday suddenly regained con-
troll of her mental faculties after suf'
fering for nineteen years from a form
of alteration which rendered her en-,
tirely oblivious of her surroundings
Mrs. Jordan "awoke" at local hos
pital, where she was recovering from
an abdominal operation, performed
five weeks ago.
She said that the nineteen years
during which her faculties were be-
clouded were an utter blank, al
though she remembered things that
transpired before her mind became
affected.
Mrs. Jordan's first request was that
her daughter, whom she had last
"seen' as 2-weeks-old baby, be
brought to her. The daughter is now

Left Infant on Doorstep.

Spartanburg, March 22.-Mr. and
Mrs. R. L. Swainford of Athens, Ga,
arrested in Landrum yesterday upon
the charge of deserting a baby,
which they left at the home of E. W.
Gowan, near Inman, few nights
ago, were brought to Spartanburg
to-day. Mrs. Swainford and the
child, which had been restored to
her, were taken to the county poor
house and the husband was confined
in the county Jail.
The child was left at the Gowan
home last Thursday night. Swain
ford and his wife were walking
through the country from Fair For
est. They were without money and
he was out of employment. AS they
wandered through the night in a
drenching rainstorm they determin-
ed to leave the child at the first home
they came to that had the appear
ance of being the residence of per-
sons able to care for the child. Soon
they reached the Gowan place and
left the little baby on the porch,
while they continued their tramp to-
ward the mountains. The discovery
of the baby caused an alarm to be
sent out and the result was the ar
rest of the couple at Landrum.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swainford assert that
they were married in Athens, Ga.
Swainford, who is mechanic, came
to Spartanburg with his wife shortly
after they were married and secured
a position at .Tucapau mills. He then
accepted a position with the inter-
urban.

hotel porter's mistake in assuming
that Methodist bishop who COM
planned of being thirsty wanted whis-
key instead of water has started an
investigation that probably will lead
to the exposure of persons here en-
gagged in the illegal sale of intoXi-

Il am thirsty; please get me a
drink the bishop said to the por-
ter who showed him to his room
in a local hotel yesterday.
"Certainly sir replied the por-
ter.
Five minutes later he returned and
handed the churchman a bottle of
whiskey.
The incident was reported to the

taken steps to learn who supplied

BRINGS TERROR TO CITY HALL.
Apparently Demented Man Shoots Up
Office of Mayor of Buffalo.

Buffalo, n. Y, March 19.-Joseph
Stefunski, a cowboy from Geyser,
Mont, apparently demented, threw
officials at city hall into panic this
afternoon when he entered the
mayors Office and opened fire on the
clerks and a policeman on duty there.
Chas. E. Lang, a policeman, who
grappled with the man, was shot four
times, but probably will recover.
Stefunski called twice for the mayor
or his secretary. This afternoon he
called for the third time. Address
ing Chas Egsloff, license clerk, he
asked for the mayor. Eggloff told
him the mayor was out.
"Well, 1 want $780," said Stefur-
ski.
Eggloff tried to parley with the
man while Lang, who had overheard
the demand for money, walked to-
ward him. The sight of the officer
apparently alarmed Stefunski, who
stepped back and drew a revolver,
yelling: "I'll get that hundred or
know the reason why
Lang closed with Stefunski, but
was unable to seize the revolver. Ste
funshi fired five shots, four of which
lodged in Lang's neck and shoulders.
The fifth, aimed at Eggloff, went
wild.
Detective Sergeant Herman Burk-
hardt rushed in and overpowered the
man.
At police headquarters Stefunski
declared he was an anarchist and had
gone to city hall to ''shoot 'em all"
