MEETS DEATH HE
 IF TEN PREDICTED

News has been received Of the death beneath the wheels of d Southern Pacific passenger train near New Orleans recently of A No. |, undoubtedly the most fla nous oi all tramps, who visited this city October last. By coincidence "A No. 1" met his death on the same road on which he first stole d ride.
 He met the death he had predicted for most wanderers. including him self.
 "A No. 1" was in no sense an orli nary hobo. Rather he was a queer type of sociologist Falling victim to wanderlust when d boy, his own travels brought to him a keen req career and he spent much effort in trying to dissuade others from adopt ing tramps life. An exemplary and studious boy. the gift oi small sum of money from a relative arous- ed the wander spirit and he ran away and began the travels that had taken him more than 500,00G miles at an expenditure for carfare of only S7.61.
 His journeys had taken him around the world three times and he claim ed to have visited every country except Australia, He had crossed the American continent fifty ylfour times. He had been in five railroad wrecks, in one of which, on the Baltimore x Ohio road. fourteen persons were killed hut he escaped injury. Ae one ever learned his name, though two books written by him have been handlei through publishing firms, These are Life and Adventures of A No. T. and Hobo Campfire Tales"
 He is said to have left an estate Of s20.000 Tn the form of United States bonds, the interest of which is to be invested annually at the

 The scenes photographed were mostly above timber line along the North Fork which is the source of Trinidad's water supply. Toward ey ening the landscape was so obscured by haze that objects were scarcely discernable The strength of the men wae taxed at times to noIu the ameras in place and their hands were benumbed.
 The country in which the pictures were taken Is one of the most beau. tiful sections in the western states in the summer. It is in the close neighborhood of the picturesque StOneWall summer resorts which ali nually claims the attention of hun dreds of Eastern tourists
 One especially interesting picture shows two children fishing for trout through q hole ill the ice. This picture was taken the third day after the storm. The fishing is done on private grounds by the children of the owner This lake Is S,237 feet above sea level.

Dr Schermcrhorn spoke before the Metaphysical club.
 Life is lot confined 10 the animal and plant world" he declared. "lhe whole universe is alive and all that lives is conscious
 Plants are conscious. and Ruskin and Goethe agree that they are cap. able of exercising strategy and fore thought Even Darwin stated that plants are sensitive and hence he must have believed that they were conscious.
 Hence il is obvious that the evolu ton from s3-called matter to human fife is possible The chemist ot the future will labor so that men will be made in bah, factories as chick ems are now hatched in ircuhators

i and Australia, but in time il is be. IleFed that boxing promoters in those
 countries will compel the colored lighters to scrap among themselves i Wherever this topic is discussed the l blame for the exclusion of negro boxers is placed on the shoulders Of Jack Johnson. In the opinion of many leading patrons of boxing John sons elimination. which has men with favor everywhere will benefit the sport. Even Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette. also colored have pro nounCed him disgrace to the rinc in which Johnson never can defend | the title of worlds heavyweight cham
 pion again. Johnson has forfeited the title which should not have he come his property. He won it from Tommy Burns. second rater. who wouldn't have had chance with such men as John L. Sullivan. James ]. Corbett. Bob Fitzsimmons. Tom Sharkey. Peter Maher Kid Mccoy and James ] Jeffries
 In fact. Johnson was an accidental champion who was fortunate enough to whip Jeffries when the latter was a physical and nervous wreck According to precedent Johnson's ii tie should have been taken from him W hen he refused 10 go through with his fight with sam l.angford i, London shortly after the one-sidre victory over Burns in Australia John son subsequently, refused numerous challenges from l.aneford and Jean nette, but eagerly made a match with Jim Flynn. who was an eas, mark al Las Vegas. N NJ. last sum mer. AS a champion Johnson knew nothing Of sportsmanship or fair play He was overrated and his manner and habits were offensive
 John l.. Sullivan. when champion of America. refused to fight Peter Jackson because the latter was a negro. Sullivan Set an example which was followed by Corbett. FitZsim mons and Jeffries while each held the title. For that reason Burns was justly censured for allowing Johnson to fight him for the cham pionship when the former hadn't one chance in hundred of winning Luther McCarty. holder of the belt emblematic of the white champion ship of the world has drawn the color line just as Sullivan. Corbett. Fitzsimmons and Jefferies did when enjoying similar honors. and for that reason, it is believed, boxing will soon regain great popuarity all over the world
 If Johnson needs the money and can keep out ot jail long enough to get ready for another fight, provid ing one can be staged in Paris, he can secure action from Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, who. having otopp ad McVey in Australia. is coming around to this side of the world in search of Johnson's scalp.

in the game is enough to tire any | tighter of the training days and that's why Attell couldn't stand up with Kirk after six rounds.
 But listen, don't try to tell me Kirk was too good for Abe and that ais puches, his tapping jahs weak aned Abe so that he couldn't fight. l know Abe l fought him twice once in ten rounds when he beat me and in twenty when | won the title from him That wasn't so long ago either and in this short length of time he hasn't gone back enough 10 be down and out
 Then saw Abe fight those twenty rounds with Harlem Tomm! Murphy. It was one of the greatest toe-to-toe fights ever saw in my life. Here was Abe outw eighed by dozen pounds supposed to be a boxer. slugsing every second with the lightweight And then they try 10 tell me that a fellow like Kirk put the quietus on Abe No. that doesn't go for me.
 Abe can beat 'em all but me. And today too. if he will join my camp 10 what Dunn tells him and stick 70 the strenuous work for two months You have to be in shape to be fighter. You can't knock about and then go in gymnasium for d teH days, spar, punch the bag, do other work and then think you are ready for a tough match
 When Attell was training for mt day. Several times Abe tried to get away from the work but they caught him and made him train. Abe did it because he was being watched And while l admit that l won didn't have a cinch
 Before taking on Attell in that championship fight l fought Rivers q twenty-round draw, knocked him out in sixteen rounds, beat Frankie Conley in twenty. and let me tell ,ou that they didn't give me as hard fight as Abe And Rivers and Con ley are supposed to be tougher boys than Abe
 As 1 have sad, I'll bet $10000 that Abe Attell can beat any featherweieht in the world. except myself. if heel work hard for two months.
 When kilbane finished this several inquistive persons brought up the subject of Johnny's weight and why he doesn't weigh in for his opponent And some of the takers doubted his own figure.
 "Pl jump on the scales now" anne back the champion, and will bet what I made today that I'm not over 123, and may be I'll be below it. After the Dixon scrap here l went but 122H. They may roast me for not making the weight. but you can Det I'm real feather.
 When I'm fighting a real cham pionship fight Pll do the l22 pounds, and do it with ease In fact. I'll bet that l can get down to 11S and be just as strong as at 122,
 You see, I'm fighting everybody around the country, averaging a bout once in a week or ten days. and if I trained down continually for a certain figure I wouldn't last six months. It weakens fellow to keep up training and you have to break away for few days at a time
 But when I want these fellows to do 122 don't think that I'm more than a pound heavier than they are" EARRING OF JOHNSON

near Gettysburg. Pa, was posted this
sign:
"All persons found using firearms in
these grounds will be prosecuted with
the utmost rigor OF the law"
For the failure TO enforce It you
must blame old John Burns, for he
was the constable OF Gettysburg, but
the majesty of the law was himself
blazing away with a borrowed gun.
And as accessory before the fact
you must indict the man who had the
shoe store, for he. and not Hooker,
Meade or Lee, brought on the battle
Of Gettysburg. A detachment OF men
In blue with holes in their shoes came
into town to clean out the store, and
at the same time came a detachment
Of gray with no shoes at all, and then
The village ordinance against the pro-
mIscuous use OF firearms began to
