hraith Is' In his prime. I brieve that Bob ritzfliEmons of to-day could beat the Hob JitZ2lmmon. cf ten years ago with comparative eae. The years of ring experience a'or.e are invaluable. I have tested my&elf and know my wind Is as good and my endurance a great to-day as they were at any time during my long term In the ring. A physician who examined me to-day told me he could net find a trace of weakness anywhere. I certainly have not forgotu-n anything I ever knew about fighting. This being so, is It any wonder I am sure of victory over Jeffries? My experience with hundreds of fighters, the best of England, -Australia and America, has convinced me that I am the greatest tighter in the world champion In fact as well as in name. I have fought men as strong as Jeffrie? end defeated them easily. I have fought cleverer men than Jeffries and their cleverness has not helped them against me. Jeffries will be the loser to-morrow night as pure as Corbett lost at Carson or Maher lost in Mexico. I truly believe that with many men who profess to believe I will lose the wlsn Is father to the thought. Corbett. for instance, ought to know by his own experience that I am Jeffries' master. They talk about wanting the championship to go to an American. It strikes me that a man who h is hlj property in America, is married In America and whose children are born and will be raised In America is as good an American as there is, and that man is Robert Fltzsimmons. champion of the world." James J. Corbett said: "It proved Just as I predicted. When Jeffries was my sparring partner at Carson, at the time I prepared for my fight with Fltzsimmons, I knew that he had it in him. though he was then immature. Fltzsimmons would not fight me. But in Jeffries I got the man who, I knew, could defeat him. Jeffries was never in danger. When I went to his room before the battle I told him to go in and fight aji soon as the gong rang. 1 told him If Fltzsimmons would not fight in the first round to go at him. He did it. In the third round he had Fltzsimmons jroing. It v.-as a rplendld battle and Jeffries did the fighting. This proves what I have always said that a good boxer with a good left hand could defeat Fltzsimmons. Jeffries posse-sea all the qualities of a great boxer. He Is competent to defend hit proud title against any tighter on earth. He does not lack ring science or generalship. The fight showed ha was quicker than Fltzslrrimons." Champion Jeffries said: "The fight was never for a moment in dcubt as far as I was concerned. I knew what I could do when I entered the ring, and I grew more confident every moment from the time the gong first sounded. Fltzsimmons never hurt rr.e but once, and that was a hard punch In the left eye. His body blows did not have near the force they may have seemed to. In my estimation. I had the best of very round. Fltzsimmons was a good, clean fighter, and probably the best man of his weight in the country, if not in the world. I wish him all success for the future. I believe I am the best man In the worM and am Trillins: to defend the title which I hae wort." After the knockout blow had been dealt. Chief of Police Devery Jumped to the outer edge of the ring and waited for the referee to count the fatal tenth second. He stepped into the ring then and his men surrounded it. He waa asked in the ring by a reporter whether, in accordance with his declaration of a few davs ago, he would arrest the principals. "Walt a few minutes and we will see." he replied. And then as he saw that Fltzsimmons had recovered sufficiently to sit up and answer the greeting and handshake Jeffries offered him. he added: "No, there will be no arrests. Fltzsimmons is all right now, and the law has not been violatedHe is as well as when he entered tho ring, according to the report of Dr. Creamer, who examined him: so an arrest Is not necessary. I vl?h It to be said, and said distinctly, that neither Mr. McLaughlin nor any other man made me change my opinion regarding the stand I took two days befors the fight. I would have stopped the fight in a minute if I had seen anything that was a violation of the law." Ca of Youth Against a Man. GALVESTON.Tex.. June 10. Dan A. Stuart, the pugilistic impresario, who enginered the Corbett-Fltzslmmons fight at Carson City, was seen last night and asked what he thought of the fight between Fltzsimmons and Jeffries. "I have spent the evening at the beach." said he, "and have seen no bulletins. All I know is that Jeffries won and I am unable to express an opinion at long range. I had expected to see Fltzsimmons win. I had always backed . htm, and backed him in this fight. I have cot seen him in a year and a half, but I presume it 13 a case of youth against a man that has been too long in the ring. I knew, of course, that Fltzsimmons was getting pretty old for the ring, but I never thought a great deal of Jeffries." Am Sullivan Predicted. CANTON, O.. June lO.-John 1 Sullivan said: "It was Just as I predicted. Jim Jeffries, the California giant, is th champion pugilist of the world. I did not see how he could lose. I, have seen both men in the ring and. I know that Jim Jeffries is one of the greatest fighters that ever lived. All Americans should rejoice at his victory. He is an American and we have needed an American champion. Besides, he is young and able to defend the glorious title for many years to come. From my account of the encounter the crowd got the worth of their money. I hardly thought it would last so lonir. Jeffries took my advice and played a wiping game." Sharker Still Claim Championship. SAN FRANCISCO, June 10 Tom Sharkey has issued a statement in Which he declares he Is still " the champion heayweight of ' tha world," and that Jeffries will have to di?pose of him before laying claim to that title. He thought Jeffries had greatly improved. riTZ" FEARED DEFEAT.

nia letter to a. Friend Written Nine Days Before- the Fla-ht. CINCINNATI. June 10. Leonard Shllly. an attache of the sheriffs office, who is a personal friend of Bob Fltzsimmons, some days ago. under date of May 31, received the following letter from the prize fighter. It shows plainly that Fltz feared defeat at the hands of Jeffrfes and had evidently warned all his friends against placing too much confidence in the outcome of the battle of Friday night: "Dear Sir Knowing you to have been an ardent admirer of mine in the past, thinking that you probably wt'l have confidence in my ability as a pugilist, I write to you as I am doing to all my close friends in order that their faith In me be not abused.

am getting along in years and have for a long time been living a life of ease and quiet and. as the saying is, have not kept up with the time. "My opponent. Mr. Jeffries 1 must admit, is without a peer in our profession to-day, end I would consider It no dL-grace to meet defeat at his hands. He has youth, pcience, strength and courage, and, in my opinion, should have no trouble to defend the title (should he gain It) from any man of the present time. You must understand tnat I ay this confidentially, and would, of course, not make public a statement of this kind, and I further am sure that you would not make usn of thi3 unless It be for your individual benefit. "My object in writing this letter is, you may be a betting man, and, like n gTeat many more, may have a stubborn Idea that I am invincible. If surh b? the case you might bet recklessly. I would advt!e you to b careful and not bet on general results. I will certainly do my best and hope to gain the victory. I feel safe In saying that I will remain five or ten rounds, and If my i ?ual good luck does not desert me-1 will certainly win the right. Hoping that you will appreciate my letter of caution, I remain,' etc. THE LORD WAS WITH JEFFRIES.

Vleir of the Preacher Father of the Ye tv Champion. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 10. When a reporter called at the home of Champion Jeffries's father In East Los Angeles late at nlgtit he found the lights out and the family asleep. After some time the family was aroused and came down to hear the news of the fight. Mr. Jeffries, who Is a preacher, and who does not approve of his son's profession, did not appear elated over the result, though ho a.ked several question as to what round the fight ended in and if any one was hurt. Being assured neither his son nor Fltzsimmons had sustained serious Injury, he said: "It's Just as I said some time ago when asked for an expression as to the coming battle; the Lord was In the fight; he was with Jim and of course Jim won." Mrs. Jeffries was delighted that her son had won and immediately sent the following to him: "I am glad you have won the victory you have worked so hard for. "MOTHER." CAREER OF JAMES J. JEFFRIES. Incident, That Made the Young Roller Maker n IJoxer. It is usually a trifling incident which changes the course of a man's life. A negro boxer who Journeyed through the land and made a livelihood by beating the bullies of the country towns, once struck Los Angeles. As was hl3 habit he announced that he could "lick any man in town." Someone told a big, curly-headed boiler maker, who was christened James J. Jeffries. Jeffries was not a bully. lie was rather the man who took it upon himself to keep the town clear of bullies. Whenever one appeared he gave him a thrashing. The boiler maker naturally concluded that this negro mut be a bully. Hence he quit work and went after him at once. He learned that the negro wanted to fight with gloves', and that he might have no excuse, Jeffries offered to fight him that way. The negro knew a lot about boxing and Jeffries nothing. Jeffries took the punching and learned how to box while it was coming. Then he sprang one of the tricks tho negro had played on him during the early part of th fipht and dropped him. Jeffries went back to boiler making the next day, but he had won a fight with gloves and people interested in boxing heard of it. He got an offer to box another man. He won. Then another, and again he won. With every fight he learned. He is without a doubt the most apt pupil the ring has ever known. He was taken on by Corbett to Carson as a sparring partner, and it Is doubtful if he ever stood before the champion of that day for a round that he did not learn something. Before long another chance came to fight, and again he won. lie gave un labor and became a professional boxer. Long before he was able to execute one-half he knew he was familiar with nearly every blow and stop ever used. But in every fight he was developing. He talked little, he worked hard. Although but few kr.ew it. his mind was set on the championship. As crude As he was at Carson, he believed that he could beat Fltzsimmons, and to that end. for that chance he worked. He said nothing, just worked. He believed that Fltzsimmons some day would stand before htm in the ring. It has come about, and without any particular effort on the part of Jeffries. lie is one of the biggest hearted, best-natured and although he does not appear it one of the most discerning men one will meet In years of travel. Jeffries is at the threshold of a ring career which Fltzsimmons has practically closed, and It was youth and beef against age and experience. The one battle that gave him the right to aspire to championship honors was fough with Tom Sharkey at San Francisco. May 6, 18f8. He succeeded in outpointing Sharkey 1n the twenty rounds of righting, and since that time nas always been considered when championship material of the future was talked of. Jeffries ia an all-round athlete, as well as a fighter, and despite his 210 pounds he ran 100 yards In eleven seconds and accomplished many other athletic feats of which to be proud. For such a large man he is possessed of great agility and takes kindly to preparatory work. Like Fltzsimmons his early life was spent in hard manual labor that. endowed him with an abundance of muscle and a constitution that can stand any kind of wear and tear. Bom In Ohio twenty-three years ago Jeffries went to California when five years old and has lived there ever since. His wonderful development has rarely been excelled. His ring record follows: Rounds.

THOU INCONSTANT MOON

takes Finn nnti.vG maidk adams's BALCONY SCENE I. CHICAGO. Lad ten Ruah for Exit, a Farrott Shrieks "Bloody 31 order," and Romeo and Juliet Enjoy the Fan. CHICAGO, June 10. Contingencies, for which William Shakspeare made no allowance, arose during Maud Adams's performance in "Romeo and Juliet" at Powers's Theater this afternoon. The moon, which is supposed to Ehed its soft radiance over the Capulet garden while Romeo makes leve to Juliet on the balcony above, caught fire. It made much smoke, which floated over the audience and ' created some uneasiness. Finally a nervous woman in the balcony started for the door at a lively gait, and in a moment the aisles were full of women following her example, the majority of them leaving hats and wraps behind them. The orchestra struck up "The Star-spangled Banner." Romeo Faversham dropped the acting business, and, coming down to the footlights, shouted: "Ladies, sit downl Ladies, sit down!" But the ladles would not sit down until Manager Powers, of the theater, climbed on the stage and assured the audience that a bit of insulation on the moon wire had become ignited, but a good portion of the moon had been tnved: that the tire was out and there was no clanger. Quiet was restored, and Romeo resumed his lines, when a parrot next door to the theater eent a few blood curdling shrieks through the windows, which had been opened to allow the passage of smoke. The audience was nervous, and for a minute there was prospect of trouble, but they were quieted down once more, the parrot choked off and Romeo started in for his third round, which he finished without interruption. During the trouble Miss Adams remained on the balcony smiling, malting for the moon and parrot to subside and for Romeo to come back. It was a trying ordeal for Miss Adams and Mr. Faversham. and but for their coolness and that of Mr. Powers a panic might have resulted. TALK "WITH BEKXIIAnDT.

STEAMER PARIS DOOMED

GflIP OF THE MANACLES TOO STRONG FOR HUMAN AGENCY TO RELEASE. Heavy Seas Pound in? the Bljr. Liner to rieces Row Between the Sailors and the Company's Accnts. COVERACK, Corn wan, June 10. The American liner Paris, which ran on the rocks oft the Manacles, Is now known to be doomed. A southwest wind is blowing, bringing heavy seas, which are driving the steamer astern landwards. Her boilers'have shifted, her false bottoms are gone and the divers are unable to work. With the exception of about a dozen men who remain with the captain and three officers, all the crew of the Paris have left her. On the arrival of the last members of the crew at Falmouth to be paid off a fracas occurred with the agents and the underwriters. The agents refused to pay the men's fares home, which the sailors strongly resented, as they had stood by the ship until nearly the end. There is now nearly thirty feet ef water in the hold of the Paris. The quartermaster, who was on deck when the steamer struck, says he saw a warning flare from a pilot boat, but it was not interpreted as a signal that the Paris was in a dangerous position. The ship's helm was nearly starboard, in order to clear the pilot boat, and the course north-northwest was immediately resumed. He adds that but for this temporary alteration the Paris would have sunk alongside the Mohegan. Xew Ship to Replace the Paris. NEW' YORK, June 10. Mr. Wright, vice president of the American line, said to-day that the company had decided to build a ship to replace the Paris. "We shall probably, build it In the United States," he added, "if American ship yards are not too bu?y to take the order. I don't know what ccmpany we shall go to. In fact, absolutely no details have been decided on as yet." It is said that a vessel equal to the St. Louis and St. Paul would cost $2,000,000 if built in this country, and that she could be built for something less abroad. Movements of Steamers.

Outing Magazine for June contains the map of a route to be taken by bicycle tourists traveling from Chicago to Indianapolis, and accompanying it is the following recommendation of the trip, with directions for those wtio undertake it: "Indiana is a State all too little known to cycle tourists from other sections of the country. The hospitality of her people is proverbial, though by no means overstated: many pleasant and Interesting towns and cities' are open to visitation, and the rural aspect of the commonwealth Is altogether delightful. The best road of Indiana He in a portion comprising the central part of the State and extending from Columbus, in Bartholomew county, northward to the Michigan line. To this route pleasure tours to and from Chicago and Indianapolis bend, in order to avoid the sands and marshes Intercepting any more direct way. The additional distance between the two cities is as naught compared to the vicissitudes encountered in crossing four or five counties surfaced with unstable materials. "Leaving Chicago for Indianapolis It is usually preferable to take the boat to Michigan City, Ind., sixty-one miles, beginning the wheeling trip from that point, thus almost entirely avoiding the sandy roads alongside the lake. Otherwise start from the center of the city, via Michigan avenue to Fifty-fifth street, through South Park, to Midway, Jackson Park, to Stony Island avenue, through Pullman to Kensington. Between the gravel and cinders along the line of the Michigan Central Railroad and the occasionally-met Idepaths. fair progress is made through Hammond and Porter to Michigan City. This is generally sufficient for the first day. save for very hard riders or record men. Plymouth is a good objective point for a midday stop, forty-nine miles from Michigan City, via Laporte, Walkerton and the Yellow river road to La Paz. and over sluepaths and lairly good though at times sandy roads. Fifty-three miles farther on. via Argos and Rochester, Is IjORansport, situated at the junction of the Wabash ami Eel rivers, and one of the finest email cities in the State. Two more than a century of miles from Michigan City is not too much for those, accustomed to century runs, but others should stop at Rochester, or before. The rest of the way to Indianapolis, seventyfive miles, is nearly all from good to excellent for cycling, over gravel, macadam and dirt roads, and no perplexing forks or crossroads liable to confuse the rider are encountered. Naturally all roads in central Indiana lead toward Indianapolis. This should prove the best day's outing of the trip, and bring one at night to the Hoosier capital. Deer Creek.

Alnslee's Magazine. Here in the forum were the soldiers lounging in groups or advancing with measured tread among the unordered throngs, pushing all authoritatively aside and preserving order. Here, too, gathered all those peopte without any occupation, who appeared every week at the storehouses on the Tiber for grain, who fought for lottery tickets to the circus, who epent their nights in rickety houses in districts beyond the river, their sunny, warm days under covered porticoes and in foul eating houses of the Suburra, on the Milvican bridge or before the "insulate" ofthe great, where from time to time remnants . from tho tables of slaves were thrown out to them. Last of all, portions of these always took advantage of that custom of the Roman nobles, who desired to shine as patrons ot the public, to make themselves hangers-on. It must be remembered that in those days a patron's nobility was measured by the number of clients who mustered In the morning and saluted him at his first appearance on the balcony of his house. Thereafter they lounged for the remainder of the day In the temples and porticoes of the Forum. They whiled away the lagging hours which separated them from the hoped-for Invitation to dine with their patron by scratching rude verses and coarse Jets on the walls or pillars against which they leaned, rr by tracing on the pavements gaming tables whereon to play dice. Here, then, and In places partaking of a similar atmosphere, were scratched those graffiti which come under the first or pagan subdivision of the new science. Did the crowd open from time to time before the litter of some famous senator or some renowned beauty, an idler might trace the features of the occupant or write some ribald remarks for his own sarcastic beguilement. Iid a few soldiers or loungers agree to gamble, they would trace on the stone pavement their square, marking on each side their gains or fosses. Sometimes, as in the illustration of the gambling graffiti, the victor would heap sarcasm upon the departing loser by writing, as was done in this one, "Vanquished; get thee gone; thou knowest not how to play; give thy place to one who does." In another place, some lounger dangling his legs comfortably over the side of a temple portico, no doubt would Idly sketch things which he had seen. What these might have been Is well illustrated by the graffiti found on the temple of Antoninus and Faustina. One such, as shown by the sketch, was a military bust, possibly Intended to represent some dignitary of the time known to the artist. Another was a rude drawing of a gladiator fighting with a lion, which the artist had probably seen at the ampltheater. A third was a conception of Hercules and his club. Perhaps the two concentric circles were drawn to show some one a point in an argument concerning the Coliseum. Others from the same place leave food for strange pondering on the thoughts of the individual who scratched them there "the grarBta of Victory," and that of the Individual with the horn of plenty. YALE'S XEW PRESIDENT. As a. Youth Prof. Hadley Was a Painful Prodigy. New York Mail and Express. Professor Hadley went through the public schools of New Haven, the Hopkins Grammar School and Yale without once holding any other position in his clas than the head. No end of stories, some n. thentic, many otherwise, are told of his precocity when a boy. He learned pages of Latin .ind Greek by reading them once or twice, and could. It was said, repeat whole books of the "Iliad" and "Odyssey." It is related that he was ready to enter Yale when only fourteen years of age, but that the college authorities regarded this as too young, and he remained at home, taking private courses In Sanscrit till old enough to enter college. While in Yale young Hadley took practically every scholarship prize In sight. A partial list follows: Woolsey , and Bristed scholarships; Wlnthrop prize for student best acquainted with Greek and Latin; Clark astronomical prize; the Ten Eyck prize for composition and oratory and tho Townsend prize for English. This wide scope of prizes gives some idea of the variety of his attainments. When he returned to Yale after a short course of study in Europe he became a tutor in German, and he Interested himself in the irtudy of ralfc roads. He has written twenty-nine volumes, practically on railroad and transportation problems and economics. His latest work, his magnum opus. Is his "Economics: An Account of the Relations Between Private Property and Public Welfare." This volume Is used as a text-book by many colleges. For years Professor Hadley's courses have been the most popular in the Yale list. During the coming year 253 seniors and Juniors will take them. Rarely does Professor Hadley make the remotest reference In his classroom to his own work of honors. A notable exception occurred the day before the corporation meeting which chose him for president. A paper had been read to the senior class by AJZiemr on ',The Transsiberian Railway' When he finished Professor Hadley said: I feel a personal Interest in that railroad. It should show this class that the Czar of Russia Is, to some extent, at least, a fel;.ow T 1.maa At any rate, ha has beta listening to tone Yale teaching." Pcrr-cr

Czar had sent for the Hadley textbook on railroads, had become interested in it, had ordered it translated into the Russian language and used It as a regular textbook for required study In the Russian universities. Professor Hadley enjoys telling a Joke on himself. Before a recent meeting of the Connecticut State Teachers Association he narrated this story: "A woman whose sons were about to enter Yale was seeking all the information shs could get about the courses. After questioning me closely, she askrd me: " 'What do you teach T 'Political economy,' I responded. 'Well, I have heard that economy In cooking and things like that is being1 studied now, and I don't see why economy in politics shouldn't be studied Just the same.' " . Professor Hadley Is, In politics, an independent, a McKinley supporter, not an Imperialist, but an advocate of a conditional expansion policy. He leans toward free trade. He Is a Congregationalist, with Congregational ancestry which date back to the Regicides. Had he been an ordained Congregational clergymen he would have been the fading candidate for the Yale presidency in the recent campaign from the very first. He was. It Is said, advised years ago to take clerical orders with the very idea In mind of thereby becoming more eligible for the Yale presidency. I3y declining? he showed flhe same consistency and independence which has always marked his career. The Yale presidency came to him Instead of his coming to It. President Hadley's wife. Helen Harrison Morris, daughter of the late Gov. Luzon B. Morris, Is a Vassar graduate. In his textbook on Economics, Professor Hadley refers to her as "One on whom I have depended, both for criticism and assistance, at every stage of the work." Characteristic of Reform SIOTementa. EL Lv Fell. In Lipplncott. Take the municipal reform movement for Illustration. Two or three years ago there were cities where almost the entire population had been worked up to the Idea that the cleaning out of a city government would cure all the Ills that mortal flesh is heir to. There were multitudes who could not have; been satisfied with any result of a reform effort that fell short of turning the city Into a New Jerusalem which means streets of gold, free water, no epidemics, no gas bills, and twelve different kinds of fruits a year gratis. To-day the bare mention of municipal reform In a majority of American cities starts a chorus of Jeers. "Oh. go away with your reforms!" "Go and reform your reformers! One asks, are not these th very people who a little while ago were cheering for reform? Ay, there's the rub. They cheered too hard. They shut their eyeg and stopped their ears to cheer. They did not stop to take the measure of the movement. They did not want to take Us measure. They did not want to know there was anything which municipal reform could not do. If It was a delusion.' they wanted to make the most of it, and they wtnt on with their cheering. Many of these movements accomplished all that their wisest leaders expected them to accomplish, but these people who have stopped their cheering and unstopped their ears are not going to hear a word about municipal reform for years to come; it did not bring in the New Jerusalem. DANGER IN SODA. Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Eiceulve I'se. Common soda is all right in Its place and Indispensable In the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but It was never intended as a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret 1L We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice and one which Is fraught with danger; moreover, the soda only gives temporary relief and In the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical Irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels, and cases are on record where it has accumulated In the Intestines, causing death by inflammation or peritonitis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 30-graln lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptpnes and digestive elements essential to good digestion, end when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly bfore It hat time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all oases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digesting the food they create flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. Thty are not a cathartic, 5ut intended only for stomach diseases and wetness, and will be found reliable in all stomach troubles except 'sneer of tha stomach.
