RIVERS MAKES FRIENDS
Spaniard Wins Host of Admir-
ers During Short Stay
in the City. -n

Luther McCarty has been the object Of
some criticism for his announced inten-
ton of taking a rest for some time before
engaging in another ring contest. His
judges declare that a man who is a real
champion should remain in the ring and
face all corners as swiftly as they come
along. Those who critcise McCarty evil
IDENTIFY overlook the fact that he has done
some hard work. During the year OF 1912,
from March 10 to December 10, inclusive.
he boxed twelve battles. OF these con-
tests he won no fewer than seven by
knockouts. the longest being with Jim
Flynn. whom he stopped after sixteen
rounds of savage fighting. He also
knocked out Carl Morris, Al Kaufman
and. finally, AL Palzer.
McCarty Is now on his way to New
York. He left Los Angeles last night.
When he arrives in this city he will de-
clare definitely just what his plans for
the immediate future are. In all proba-
bility. he will accept a few theatrical en-
gagements.
The popularity OF Joe Rivers is assured
in this city. The Los Angeles lad Is one
here In many a long day. Hail fellow
we'll met with the crowds which have
been i'm daily attendance at his training
camp, ready and able to talk on almost
any subject with a distinct preference
for his chosen profession, Rivers has won
himself a host OF friends, who will root

Cross on Tuesday night Rivers delights
to talk of his native city. but he is will
ing TO admit that, after all, New York is
not the worst place in the world. He Is
so confident Of whipping Cross when he
meets him that II might be taken for
overconfidence. but such is not the case.
The Spaniard has blind faith In his abll
lty. He points to his battles with VOL
CAST and Mandot. and says that If Cross
IS as good as either ne will doubtless
have hard time of IT, but he believes
that Leach IL not quite up to the standard
of the former champion or the New Or
leans lad. Incidentally Rivers regards
his match with Knockout" Brown as a
huge joke.

How Admiral DicIins Collected.
Many of the pieces Of the set Of Lin
coin White House china were found by
Admiral Dickins in an old Washington
auction shop many years after all parts
Of it were supposed to have gone out OF
existence. The same style Of dishes Is
still In use in the White House today.
and there are several Of the original sec
now on display there
Admiral Dickins. who spent twenty
years in gathering this china, was one of
the most interesting men in the navy. He
was born in New York State in 1874 and
entered the Naval Academy in Septem-
Der, 1851. He was promoted TO midship-
man in 1852, entered an advanced class
and graduated after three years at the
Academy. Shortly after leaving the
Academy he was transferred from the
North Carolina to the Colorado. then the
flagship of the European fleet
When the Monocacy visited Bankok.
Admiral Dickins being the executive Of
ficer of that ship at the time, was pre-
scented with a silver medal by the King
of Siam.
He was for many years one OF the in
structors at the Naval Academy. He was
the man who rescued the British steamer
Zarate, which was blown ashore on
Lobos Island near Uruguay, for which
he received complimentary letters from
the Navy Department and the admiral
commanding the squadron, and in addt-
ton a money present of 1850 from
maritime association of London to the
officers and crew Of the Tallapoosa, the
ship he commanded at the time OF the
rescue.
In 1898 he was the representative Of the
President of the United States. in charge
of the courtesies to the Duke of Veragua-
lineal descendant of Christopher Column
bus, who came as a guest of the nation.
For this service he was later decorated
as knight of the cross OF naval merit
by King Alfonso XII OF Spain.

his lifelong study. Being especially in

the pictorial arts to ceramics, the ad-
miral began early in life to assemble the
collection, which now ranks as the finest
in the world.

the exception of the White House china,

part is of blue color. called by the Chi

as concerns the colors and the design, is
growing weak and disappearing. The
Staffordshire ware of real worth and
beauty is of date earlier than 1880. and

rare today. AS far back even as 1875 it

that day advised that collectors will do

FLAGLER'S ONLY SON.
Speculation as to His Part in Con-
troll of Estate of Father.

From the New York Sun.
Much interest was expressed yesterday
by men of financial affairs as to the part
Harry Hardness FIagler will play in the
disposition of the great fortune OF his
father. Henry NJ. Flagler, estimated TO be
more than $50 100000
Harry Hardness Flagler is forty-two
years old. He has been little known in
connection with the work of his father
either in the Standard Oil Company or
in the great development plans carried on
in Florida.
1t was said yesterday by men who have
had close acquaintance with the affairs
OF Mr.. FIagler that the son and the
father had been estranged for a long
period and that for ten years they had
not spoken until last Monday, the day
before Mr.. Flagler died, when the
younger Mr.. Flagler arrived at Palm
Beach from Europe in time to see his
father alive.
Harry Hardness FlagIer. though a man
of acknowledged business capacity, has
never engaged in business. He has kept
singularly aloof from the affairs of the
Standard Oil Company. He never showed
interest in the Florida Railroad and hotel
plans of his father, so far as IL known
At the age OF twenty-five. with q large
career In business before him IL he chose,

is artistic and his nature is one Of ex-
cessive delicacy. As child, IL was said,
he preferred to play with girls rather
than with boys. He Is interested in mu-
sic. and was secretary Of the Permanent
Orchestra Fund Committee in 1903. which
planned for enlargement and development
of the Philharmonic Society.
II was held yesterday that a possible
reason for the trusting Of the Flagler es-
tate lay in the divergence of interests Of
the son and the father. It was conjec-
tured that the elder Flaglsr decided that
his plans for further development OF
Florida, which II Is believed he caused
to be drawn up when he was Ill. could
be better carried out under the direction
of trustees in close association with his
life activities than In any other way.
Young Mr.. Flagler is a Columbia Uni
versity man of the class of 1884 He Is a
son OF Mr.. Flagler's first wife. who was
a member OF the Standard Oil family of
Hardness. He married Miss Anna La
mont in 1898. His town house is at &c
Park Avenue. He lives modestly and,
though a member of the Union League
and Calumet Clubs, is rarely seen In club
life.

OLD PITTSBURG.
Carnegie and Prick Brought Close
by circumstance.

From the New York World
Old Monongahela Rye is still brewed 1t
is the pet tippIe of the native born.
Carnegie and Prick keep close together
in the town, even II they have parted
personally. The Carnegie Building and
the Prick Building are side by side, but
Tricks is the taller. Prick also owns
all the vacant lots adjoining the museum
where Andrew stables his diplodocus.
Whether he holds them for spite or as
site on which to Guido his old partner
is the big guess in Pittsburg.
The Biographies give the impression
that the Allegheny and Monongahela joir
some distance below Pittsburg to form
the Ohio. They meet at the tip of the
city, and the old blockhouse that was
part of Fort Pitt still stands there, lik-
a small Castle Garden. where the streams
unite as do our own North and East
rivers. The railroads have tried to push
1t of the map, but enough patriotism still
lives under the pail of smoke to pre-
serve it where il grew.
An oddly in city improvement is now
under way in the business section. 1t is
the cutting down of a hill to level of the
adjacent grade. Great structures like the
Prick and Carnegie buildings have grown
taller from the bottom, and many minor
structures are curiously underpinned or
actually lowered to the new plane. Will
lam Finn. the eminent Progressive. is
doing the job. The first thing Bill ever
did on the level" is a Pittsburg jest.
The Titans work in Homestead. in Al
legheny and Braddock. In addition to
being licked by the Indians, the luck
less general has the fate of having one
of the ugliest spots on earth named after
him.
The Monongahela can be navigated
sixty or seventy miles, well up into West
Virginia. but the Allegheny becomes
shoal a few miles above Pittsburg. Sand
dredges keep the channel open. digging
out the material for building and other
purposes. The depth of water in the
river is daily item of interest in the Pitts
burg papers. They keep track of 1t as
far as Louisville. Packet stage means
that passenger boats can navigate safely.

BURGLAR POSED AS A DOCTOR.

had come a report Of burglars. encoun-

a Van Dyke beard, a professional air, and

on it. Good morning, gentlemen" said
he, offering an engraved card. Il am

a house on this street from which I re-
ceived a telephone call to attend an
urgent case. Could I ask you to direct
me?"
The detectives replied that they were
sorry not to oblige, but were too busy
hunting burglars to look for sick people.
The doctor walked briskly on his way.
Before he got far the detectives saw a
man look out OF his front door as IL he
might have been expecting a doctor

stead of stopping he began to run away.

ferent scenes. Only in the case of SUBJ
jects of universal interest, such as the

identical as to scenes. The scenes de-

Strange as II may seem, few or no
data relative to this china can be OBJ
tanned in England. although such vast
quantities were sent to this country. This
is partly due to the fact that the Stat
fordshire pottery works changed hands,
and the plates from which the pieces
were printed have been either lost or

summer, and consequently neither the

had any influence on II. 1t was a great

the result is that its popularity was con-
fined to few intimate friends. More

The Fishhouse punch is one of the old
standbys which continues to be popular
along with the gin rickey so far as the
bars and cafes are concerned. OF course,
il is almost as well known as the rickey,
but as long as we are giving recipes we
might as well include this one. 1t is
made of half a jigger of brandy, one
