 While MT Serrano was in the water, he was followed closely by a launch with the cameraman-and MT. Curran who quite unvillainously protected his sworn foe from sharks.

On March 18th, 1892, the arli.'es covering m, match with John L Sul livan were signed in New York City. The champion was unable tc be on hand but James Wakely, whc was managing his affairs at the time acted in his behalf
 William A. Brady, my manager, lis ing the funds turned over to him by my packers, deposited a certified check for $2,500 to bind the match Wakely at once put up $2,5O0 for Sul livan Then came the question con corning a stakeholder Wakely sug gested that Phil Dwyer act as the final stakeholder. But to this l ob jected on these grounds
 q should be delighted to accept were it not that he is my personal friend and has offered to back me If it should happen that some ques tion or other arises about the pay ment of the stakes and I shoould get them, everybody would say that it was because Dwyer was prejudic ed in my favor. I don't want this feeling I want the money to go where it belongs without argument and a want to avoid right now che possibility of any comeback
 The argument over a permaneni stakeholder continued for some time without result and then George Dick enson was named as temporary stakeholder of the $5,000, the per ter
 Clippings which I have before me which concern that meeting read lr part:
 'The next step was the time oi fighting and the battle ground. Cor belt conceded everything, even to the demand of the other side to have the fight during the first week in Sep tember. Both men liked New Or leans and both agreed to give the Olympic Club of that city prefer ence."
 Without much squabbling, the fol lowing permanent articles of agree nlent were drawn and signed:
 "First-The match is to decide ths heavyweight championship of the world, a stake of twenty thousand dollars t$20,000), and pure Of twen ty-five thousand dollars. ($25,000)

CANNERY LABOR
 AMPLE, HE SAYS

Sufficient labor can be obtained to handle the Alaska salmon catch this year, according to J. R. Heck man, superintendent of the Loring cannery, of the Alaska Packers As sociation, at Seattle, says the Seat tie Times.
 From employment agencies and other sources, it looks now as if we will have no great difficulty in get ting all the labor we need, said Heekman Labor is very scarce in Alaska, however and it is probable that as high as 75 per cent. of the men will have to be imported from Puget Sound
 Labor will begin moving North and will continue until June or July"

Clever Acting in

Based on the fable of the Bible where the woman arrived bringing an alabaster box out of which oint- ments were taken, the story of ''The Alabaster Box" which was shown at the Palace last night, contained a great deal of good acting and clever Representations.
 The story deals with Andrew Bol- ton, who made the prosperous city of Brookville, but, who struck the financial rocks and was sent to prison for embezzlement by the vil- lagers. His daughter was taken by an uncle.

The painter-engraver, Alexander Lu.
nois, excelled in Oriental scenes. He
had passed half his life In the hands
Of the Musselman. His works were
full of light, full OF color, full of move
ment. During his last illness, at Par
is. where his elegant apartments
looked out upon the quay, he was on
his couch, burning up with fever.
From time to time he threw q glance
upon a beautiful Van Dyck. The pic
ture WAS covered by glass. Sudden
ly In the reflections of glass of water
he imagined that he saw In the spark
ling light dance of odahsqres, such
as in former days he had seen In Con-
stantinople. He could MOI restrain
himself. He leaped from his bed and,
all trembling. he seized his palette,
his brushes, and frantically set at
work upon q marvellous sketch. His
wife found him, nude save for q slight
covering over his shoulders, his eyes
snnken. his teeth chattering, painting
with the fury OF madman. She led
him back to his couch. He died few
days later, and the last picture OF the
great artist remained unfinished

USE MORE MILK
Surplus Of Dairy Products In u.
s. Should Be Substituted
for Meat and Wheat.

Milk 10 one of the most important
food sources the human race possesses.
For the proper nourishment of the
child It Is absolutely indispensable. 1t
contains all the essential food elements
In the most available form for ready
digestion, and recent scientific discov-
cries show It to be especially rich in
certain peculiar properties that alone
render growth possible. For the pur-
pose OF stimulating growth, butter fat
and other constituents Of milk have
no substitutes.
Due to the shortage of shipping and
the priority of wheat, the usual export
OF butter, cheese, and condensed milk
Is cut OF. II these products are not
consumed. the prices for them will fall
10 low that the dairymen will not pro-
duce them.
This must not happen. We must
maintain our present rate of supply
and prepare to increase 1t so we can
ship dairy products to the Allies when
the shipping situation improves
France and Great Britain face seri-
GUS shortage Of milk French food reg
ulations forbid public eating houses to
serve or consume butter except in the
preparation Of certain food, and In Lon
don. an adult cannot buy q glass of
milk even II he Ia willing to pay $40
for It. 1t is certain that tnese countries
Will make = heavy demand on US for
dairy products, and even for herds,
when the shipping conditions permit
of their transportation.
Milk, butter and cheese furnish the
vital elements OF nutrition. Pound for
pound cottage cheese equals lean meat
In food value. 1t is just as efficient a
muscle builder as meat or eggs, and
more efficient than cereals. Butter and
milk are requisite to the health and
growth of children, and, considered
with respect to their relative food
value are cheap at an apparently high
price.
A greater use of the dairy products
results In a necessary increase in the
dairy business, conservation of grains.
and better nutrition for the public.
