"REMINISCENCES OF A
 GREAT COLORED FIGHTER

, Peter Jackson, the greatest negro heaNy weight pugiGst of his time-and many are tempted to say the greatest of any heavy l weight, without qualifying the assertion as to race-was born in the West Indies. He began his fighting career in Australia Tn
 1882 came to San Francisco in 1888, and
 there began his series of victories that
 made him famous the world over, says Hal Coffman in the Tacoma Tribune.
 | Of course, with these victories also came large sums of money, and as he galned l in fame the purses became larger. Jackson, whose rule of life was the old epigram, "easy come easy go" spent the money he made as fast as 1t came.
 He fought string of victories across the continent, and in 1889 went to Eng | land, still coining money. both in the ring and on the stage In England he won nine fights in TOW, among them being his win over Paddy Slavin.
 While there he established himself in the Whitechapel district, and was literally the king of his domain, as the color line in England at that time was even less ln evidence than it is now. He spent his time in what some people call Thigh life" but which consists mainly of brawls carous- als foggy heads and shaky hands, until his money was pretty we'll wrinkled and the "clink" was beginning to sound more like an echo.
 He then returned to San Francisco, where he fought what some claim was his great est fight, the one with Corbett, which went 61 rounds, but at the end was declared in which it ended. After this Jackson went from bad to worse, until Jetfrles used him as stepping stone in his climb to pugilistic prominence, winning from him in three rounds in 1898. Here we quote something from a Victoria (B. e. paper, dated in 1900 You can judge for yourself by reading it whether that sort of life pays
 Poor old Peter Jackson, the totteling ghost of the ebon Hercules that the pugl- istic world once knew, left for San Fran cisco tonight, some friend having advanced the money to give him his last chance for life in a warmer climate. Since com ing north six months ago his collapse has 1 Ioo, ,+rrib11 e,,JJar opI EpfooblaJ by alcohol, he proved helpless victim to pneumonia and typhoid in combined at tack and though his rugged constitution enabled him to cheat death, he left the hospital an utter wreck of his old self. Since then he has lived at little roadside hostelry on the borders of the City park, receiving few callers and spending the slow,
 moving hours in reading old letters and
 fondling his championship belt and the few
 trophies remaining of his fstic kingship
 which, despite his poverty, he refuses to 1 sell. His one desire was to get back to
 Australia and make another fight for life,
 or, failing this, to get to Southern Cali
 fornia. Some friend must have come to his
 aid, for, to the surprise of his few ac-
 quaintances here, he this evening bade
 them goodbye and started, in better spir.

TURKS ABANDON EGYPT

CAIRO, Feb. 9.-The Turks have abun- doned the invasion of Egypt and the army which was advancing is now in full retreat across the desert. The cause of the retreat is supposed to be that the Turks discovered the seriousness of the position in which they would have found themselves if they were defeated with the desert at their backs. The British Egyptian army of defense is said to have crossed to the eastern side of the Suez canal and an effort may yet be made to pursue the Turkish army, although the rask of pursuing across the desert would be a most difficult one. The recent repulses sustained by Turkey in Transcaucasia may also have influenced the Turkish leaders in making their backward movement from FpyDt

 IN CONSTANT QUARRELS

LONDON, Feb. "A Cairo dispatch to the Daily News says:
 "An attempt on the life of Field Marshal von der Goltz at Constantinople is reported from Jaffa through the medium of the Ger man consulate there. The field marshal was fired on and is believed to have been hit. Several officers were attacked at the same time.
 Strained relations exist between the Ger man and Turkish officers, and quarrels m public are not infrequent. In a cafe dis. sturbance at Damascus recently captain of >the Turkish army was killed and German colonel badly wounded"

ACTIVITY IN S:iIPBUILDING

NEW YORK, Feb 13-Great activity is being shown in shipbuilding along the At lantic coast owing to the necessity tor providing ships for the increasing trade Ten ships are being built here, and in uuiries are being made preparatory to the construction of many others. This is due in great measure to the inability of the shipbuilding firms of the belhgerent nations to turn out vessels fast enough for the American demand.

THE KAISER'S DREAM

The Copenhagen correspondent of the London Evening News says that German subject who heard Emperor William on a recent occasion when he addressed his troops quotes his majesty as follows:
 We are now fighting for the life of Ger many. They wish to kill Germany, but l say if we win-and we must win-a new empire shall arise more splendid than the world ever saw-a new Roman German en- pre which shall rule the world, and the world shall be happy"

The Blood and the Brain.

Among the many important physio7
logical facts that should be as well
known by people generally as they are
by physicians, is the dependence of the
brain for it's proper action on the vital
ity of the blood. If this is impaired, the
blood affords an imperfect stimulus to
the brain, and, as a necessary conse-
quence, langour and inactivity of the
entire nervous system follows, and a
tendency to headache or faintness
makes it's appearance.
1t is probable that no other medicine
ever produced has done more in the
way of revitalizing the blood, making
it pure and rich, than Hoods Sarsa :
parilla, which should certainly be given
trial where there is any reason to
believe that the blood is defective in
quality or deficient in quantity.
