St, Petersburg Strikers Cripple New Engines and Soldiers Take Out Old Ones. - ST. PETWRSBURG, Dec. 21.—Accord- ing to information received during the night from Moscow, that city was in a state of great excitement as a re- ult of the inauguration there of the general strike. The innabitants were scurrying about, securing supplies, candles. etc., the “#tores were boarded up, the great ma- jority of the factories and mills were Glosed and the postal-telegraph offices which had partially resumed their ser- vices. were again closed. Last night Moscow was in darkness: The strike leaders at Moscow are boasting that the strike will be trans- ferred into an armed revolution, the orators at the meetings declaring that Russia will be drenched with blood be- *Yore the long struggle ends. ‘Gen.

The railroad strike began at the Nich- Wlas Station: at moon, but the Baltic roads were still working at that hour. The employes of the Putlloff Iron Works to the number of 12,000 have struck.

OBJECT TO STORE IN SCHOOLROOM

South Broadway Merchants Order Leter Sent to Super- intendent Soldan. SAY EDUCATION SUFFERS ee eee Humboldt Principal Declares That the Complaint Is Ridiculous. . Differences between the principal of the Humboldt School, Philo SteVenson, and the Humboldt School Patrons’ As- soviation are said to be the cause of tue action of the South Broadway Mer- chants’ and Manufacturers’ Association Tuesday in ordering a letter of com- plaint concernin the actions of the teachers of the umboldt School sent to Supt. F. Lwuis Soldan. The letter, which has not as yet been sent by the secretary of the association, Louis E. Kaltwasser, will: state | that the education of the pupils of the Hum- boldt School is not receiving. proper at- tention because whe ‘teachers of the school give too* much time to making sales of goods from a clothing store in their school rooms. One of the rooms in the. school is said to be used as a store room. The effort is said to be made in order to gain votes for the School in au ert. contest which the clothing company’ conducts, a voting coupon being given with each cent's worth purchased. Principal Says It’s Ridiculous. Princip Stevenson makes no ‘other sh oo eacept, “This whole charge of our selling goods in the school {s absolutely ridiculous.’’ He invited a Post-Dispatch reporter to make of the building. William F. Bolte of 1982 South Broad- way. president of the Humboldt Schoo! Patrons’ Association, introduced the mo- tion which brought about the resoln- tions and letters. He said to a Post- Dispatch reporter: “They have a storeroom in the Hum- boldt School from which they eel! goods.

Mr. Bolte has the neces- Sary evidence to prove whar we char.je.,"’ The art distribution has been in progress for six and one-half years and 1 schools contain prizes won in the contesis. The Humboldt School was fourth in the contest, which closed at Thanksgiving. At one other time. it was ‘second. Disagteeg Over Hall. The teachers of te Humboidt School Say that thelr suco ss has been due to the eftorts of their friends throughout the city and that the coupons con- tributed by the patrons of the schoo! were scarcely a factor. The members of the Patrons’ ciation and the principal disagreed about the hall in which the last enter- tainment of the school was given. Mr. Stevenson said the one that they had selected was not fireproof and that it was dangerous for the pupils to go in it. The members of the association were of different oninion.

A lot of folks are going to celebrate that way. , And now about these Hot Time Min- strels. Yesterday the Post-Dispatch told what some of them would do, but when the writer thought of the private lives of others, it seemed impossible to pro- ceed. However, a night's consideration has brought a change. it isn’t fair to mix the personal with the professional life. 3 iscaey. Mor instance, Steve Martin is of the House of Delegates.

DESERTED FOR ANOTHER

She Disclosed Deceit and Joined Later Victim to Prose- cute. Mrs. Mabel B. Duffy of 373 Page boulevard, who, with Mrs. Laura Mil- ler Duffy, was granted a divorce from E. J. Duffy, Nov. 27, both decrees being handed down at the same time, is now the bride of Lavern B. Steele of 2126 Eugenia street. The ceremony was performed Wednes- day by Rev. McLeod M. Pearce of Re furmed Presbyterian Church at his resi- dence, 4630 Page boulevard. Mr. Steele was introduced to his pres- ent wife—then Mrs, Duffy—by Duffy at Syrucuse, N. Y., early in 19v2. [In her petiiion for divorce Mrs. Mabel Duffy alleged that she was married to Duffy in New York City in 190); that he deserted her there in April, 1%, and came to St. Louis. Here in May, 1902, he married Miss Laura Miller. In the meantime Mrs. Stele had moved from Syracuse to St. Louls. Later Mrs. Mabel Duffy came here. Mrs. Laura Miller Duffy became sus- picious of her husband. From a letter she inferred that he hdd another wife, found the address of the supposed wife's mother and wrote to her. Thus she lo- cated Mrs. Mabel Duffy. Then they joined issues and filed a joint suit for divorce against E. J. Duffy. The same judge and the same decree freed them simultaneously.

NEW MARRIAGE LAW SUSTAINED Illinois Supreme Court Upholds Cook County Clerk's Action. SPRINGFIELD, TIll., Dec. ®.—The new State marriage and divorce law, which has caused countless contro- versies in marriage license offices throughout Illinois, has been sustained by the Supreme Court in a decision in the case of County Cierk Olson of Cook County, who refused to issue a mar- riage license on Aug. 21, 190, to Henry Buengert and Eliza Grimes. The County Clerk took the ground that the woman had received a divorce from her first nusband two days prior to the date on which the new marriage license act took effect. ‘The Supreme Court sustains the action of the County Clerk, and the cause is reversed and re- manded, The court holds that the act of 196, which provided that parties obtaining a divorce can marry within one year afrver the date of such divorce is manda-}’ tory, and that it is the duty of the clerk to refuse to issue a license to parties not qualified to receive one, and that the act runs against the time of the issuing of the divorce, and that the act does not infringe on any of the constitutional rights of the parties.

DENVER, Colo., Dec. 21.—-Because he alleged he had been defrauded ina final settlement, Judge Henderson, a cattleman, shot and instantly killed William Wilson. his former partner in the cattle business, and then shot and killed himself. The tragedy occurred in the lobby of the Lewiston Hotel. Two years ago Henderson made an attempt upon the life of his former partner. The two men met today di- rectly in front of the Lewiston Hotel and Henderson, without a moment’s warning, pulled a revolver from his pocket. Wilson ran into the lobby, and was about to seek shelter behind a pillar when his pursuer opened fire. Two bullets pierced Wilson’s body and he rolled over upon the floor. By this time the officers were ad- vancing upon Henderson, but before thev had fairly seized him he _ had ended his life by his own hands. —~-- Riding Saddles, Crops, Leggings, Car- riage and Automobile Robes, Heaters, Dash Clocks, Driving Gloves are among the many items in horse goods that would make appropriate Christmas gifts.

TWO FAMILIES GT FOR AG DOUBLE FATT ha a Kentucky Man, Indicted in the Indian Territory, Lived Dual Life.

TRAVELED TO AND FRO

Went ‘‘East on Business” From One ‘‘West on Business” From Others.

SECRET WAS HIS ALONE

Discovered He Moved Home to Texas, but Failed to Shake Prosecution,

Special to the Tost-Disnatch. GLASGOW, Ky., Dec. 21.-—-Supporting two families in widely different parts of the United States, Joseph Glass, an aged mill man of Randolph, near here, led a dual life that was the secret of himself alone for many years, if the charges are true. He traveled hundreds of and forth between his Kentucky and Davis, I. T., where he was head of another family. These miles back home the furnished at each end of his marital line. His Kentucky family consisted of grown-up children. His other, an alleged wife and three little ones. A Federal indictment charges Glass with a statutory offense, and he is to be tried at Chickasha, I. T. The prose- cuting witness will be Mrs. Clara Glass, who declares she was married to the Kentucklan at Evansville, Ind., after he had procured a divorce from his first wife, and aided her in getting one from her original husband. She declares he took her to the In- dian Territory to make his home, and that he lived there with her for many years, with the exception of intervals that he would go ‘‘East" for. purposes she did not understand. Lost Sight of Him. At length he ceased to return, she never heard from him again. Her youngest child became ill, and she wrote to him to return. She got no reply, but through the assistance of officers, located him at Gainesville, Tex. He had moved there with his family from this county. His first wife had in- sisted that if he had so many interests in the ‘‘West’’ that demanded such a great deal of his time that he move ‘“West,’’ to be near them. It is charged that he ‘‘moved to al- _lay her suspicions and throw the Terri- tory woman off the track.” When the latter finally located him her child had died. This led to the un- veiling of the secret, and the finding of the indictment almost a year ago. When Glass learned that he was ahout to be prosecuted he wrote to the terri- |; tory woman and told her, according to ‘the evidence xlleged to he uwaiting his ; and that he would never return to her. that he had but one wife, one family. and thta he would never return to her. He tren sold out at Galinsville and moved back to Randolph, the little | hamlet here in Metcalf County, where a was loing known and respected. > and

They always found him ‘away.’ It was believed that he had concealed himself in his and | when the officers attempted to search | the place, they met with war. however, that his resistance was useless, the old man went to the | Indian Territory and surrendered him- self. He says he will fight the charges and prove that he was never niarried to the woman, and is not responsible home, , tor the existence of her family.

Release from the Penitentiary after imprisonment for nearly fifteen vears for the killing of Theodore Horrigan in East St. Louis was the present which Gov. Deneen of Illinois gave Thomas D. Gilligan of East St. Louis W ednesday evening. Many citizens petitioned the Governor to commute Gilligan's sentence. Chief of Police Purdy, whom the Governor consulted, said there was no reason for withholding executive clemency. Gilligan has received a promise of em- ployment as soon as he reaches home to ald his family which is almost des- titute. Gilligan was convicted of killing Hor- rigan in the latter’s saloon on M!ssour]) avenue. He was sentenced to the Pen- itentiary for 25 years, but several years ago citizens of East St. Louis succeeded in having the term reduced to 15 years, all but two months of which Gilligan has served. Gilligan bore a good rep- utation before the killing of Horrigan. The Governor has also ordered the ré- lease of Charles Samuel Williams, sent- enced from Bond County for life after being convicted of murdering his father in March 1894. The elder Williams was intoxicated and was assaulting his wife when he was killed. Hugo Leo Meyer of Joliet will be free Saturday, and will be sent to his rela- tives in Germany. He ts eritically ill of consumption. He was imprisoned for larceny committed in Will County. Commutation of sentence was denied George G. Edwarde of Seneamon Coun- ty. He was convicted of grand larceny. THIEF LEFT OLD COAT. In Another Home Pictures Aro Turned Upside Down.

could boast of less than 300 inhabitants, but there thrived about a dozen Sa~ loons. Early in the summer, when there was only one dealer in ice, and his supply was unusually limited, the town was threatened with an ice faim- ine. Bend is situated in the foothills of the Cascade Range, on the Deschutes Riv- er, and is 80 miles from the nearest railroad and 150 miles from the Colum- bia River. A shortage in the ice supply so early in the season made things 100K | gloomy. Anticipating the effect ice famine, a saloonkeeper conceived the idea of organizing nopoly in the commodity which of the imminent named Shaw a mo- would ' serve him a double purpose—a handsome profit on his investment and the ulti mate driving of his opposition out 0! business. He bought up «he entire stock of ice and held it, refusing to sell his mpetitors a single pound.

This great cavern and its contents fig- ured prominently in the utter demolition of the ‘‘ice trust,”’ and the accompany- ing picture explains how it was ac- complished. Not to be outdone in the little game of sagacity and enterprise, Hugh O' Keene, the moving spirit, and some of the other saloonkeepers conceived the idea of ob- taining their ice supply from this cave It was their only hope of salvation, since bringing ice over the desert by wagon was next to impossible. So they constructed an improvised 'down to the mouth of the cave. Then they erected a pole derrick on the crea of the mountain spur, supplied with blocks and tackle, pulled the ice from the cave tn large chuncks, or blasted it out with dynamite, and flumed it to the foot of .he mountain, where their teams were in waiting to haul it into Bend. Just at that time ice was worth al- most its weight in gold, and its sudden advent into the communiiy was so un- Baldwin Bank Bandits Break From Pursuers. BALDWIN, Ul... Dec. 21.—The bank robbers ‘have eluded the posse near Ellis Grove, Ill., and escaped. The pursuers thought they had the bandits surround- ed, but in the dark and rain of last night the robbers got through the line, leaving their buggy behind. The posse has failed to strike another trail, but is still on the hunt. Owing to the rain the telephone communications are poor and the searchers are handi- capped in communicating with sur- rounding towns. Grand Jury Club Planned.

CHICAGO, Dee. 21.—The bodies of 8 “Chinese who. have died in Chicago since 1899 ‘have been exhumed in _ Rosehill Cemetery and are being prepared for a ‘trip of 12,000 miles to tombs prepared | ‘for them in China. For several weeks’ _ preparations for the transportation of. ‘the bodies have been under way. Quong Lee and his officlal eorps have been busily engaged breaking the graves, and ‘now their labors are about ended. In a few days the last uf the bodies will be _feady and all will be sent to San Fran- cisco. . To that city the bones of Chinese from all parts of the country are being Sent by celestials. From there they ‘will. be shipped to Hongkong. There Telatives wjH take charge of them and carry them to the old homes in all parts “ef the empire. There will be elaborate burial ceremonies and some 2000 Chi- nese who died in this country will be lowered into the mother clay of China ; to fall to dust. It will have cost more than $600,000 to take the bones of the children home, but that sum is'a small one when it is considered that the customs and relig- ous beliefs of centuries have,.been ob- served and that all good Chinese can pleep in péacé, assured that they have given ample propitiation to the spirits of their ancestors. Se Imeure Return to China. ' Every six years.it is the custom in _ Chicago 'to clean out the Chinese burial } ‘lot at Rosehill and send the bodies of the departed back to*China. The .

"Phe young Woman not in the “Ourtroom to receive the news, but the news was sent to her at her home in St. Louls County by her attorney, Charles P. Johnson. .

“FAKES,” SAYS GOVERNOR

Says Law Ought to Require Dramshop Tax of Gen- wine Clubs. ewe eee eee BOGUS RECEIPTS GIVEN

i i 7 Initiation Fee, Never — Paid, Acknowledged by Letter to “Member,”’ —— ae eee Chief Police Kiely announced Thursday that he will raid all so-called clubs organized tor “‘lid’”’ lifting pur- poses next Sunday,. and. will continue to make reids as ‘long as these or- ganizations violate the law. This action follows repeated exposures by the Pasi- Dispatch of the character ot these clubs, many of which- have no other purpose than the evasion of the statute and avoldance of the payment of dram- shop license tuxcs. Chief mentioned among other clubs which would raided the Iro- quois, adjoining Justice Cronin’s court. and the Pickwick Club, at Compton avenue and Locust street, where several raids have already been made. ! The orders upon which Chief Kiely will act come from Gov. Folk, who has written a letter to President Stewart of the: Police Board. In this letter the Governor the clubs as ‘‘fakes."’ Chief Kiely says legitimate clubs will not be disturbed, but that arrests wil] be made wherever liquor is sold to the public in violation of law. Have Supplanted Saloons. There are H7 so-called “lid clubs” in St. Louis. Many of them have taken the places of saloons. it is a well-known fact that many of the clubs make no pretence of IMmiting their sale of Hquor tc bona fide mem- bers, All go through pretense is- suing membership cards. In some cases these cards are issued to the purchaser upon the payment. of, the price of one drink or more. In other cases the pros- pective member js required to fill out an application blank and to sign the rolis of the club, 5 Having done this, he is told that he can immediately buy whatever he wants to drink and that his membership card will be mailed to him as soon as his application is passed upon by the mem- bership committee, The law requires that an inlitition must be paid to join a club. When the new member of the lid-lifting “club” receives his card, he finds enclosed with it a receipt for $1, which he has not paid, for initiation. This receipt is in itseif, lawyers say, an evasion, a mis- representation and a false utterance. Would Tax All Clubs. In discussing the club question Gov.

Chicago Southern, Now Being Completed, Will Give His Mines a Market. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Members of the Clearing House Committee, which is .ad- ministering ‘the affairs of John R. Walsh, agree‘that he will retain con- trol of the Southern Indiana, Illino.s Southern and Chicago Southern raii- roads, completing the last-named be- tween Chicago Heights and Terre Llaute. oe: These systems, therefore, will not pass into the hands of one of the big com- peting systems that. sought to him. All the $11,000,000 of Southern Indiana stock is owned by Mr. Walsh and he holds a controlling Interest in the §1,- 50,000 of Chicago Southern stock. None has been turned over to the Clearing House Committee because the entire Southern Indiana stock issue and $600,- 0 of Chicago Southern stock is pledged with the Girard Trust Co. of Ph:ladel- phia to secure a $4,000,000 bond note is- sue for Chicago Southern construction. J. R. Montgomery, Mr. Walsh's Iezal adviser, said today that completion of the Chicago connection was only a mat- ter of two months’ work. ‘Tt will be done,” said Mr. Montgom- ery, “and then Mr. Walsh will have a market for his Southern Indiana coal and his Bedford stone. I am satisi.ed fhe will retain control of these roads, which will be immensely valuable.’’

Bernard Kingston, the actor-printer, arrested in St. Louis on a charge of wife-abandonment, will lan- guish three months in jail and pav a fine of $59, according to news dispatches from Springfield, Mo., where Police Judge Burke imposed sentence. His ‘meal ticket'’ wife was his Nemesis. The wife who followed Pilcher from Springtield and caused his arrest as he was rehearsing an amateur company for the comic opera, ‘‘Prince of Saler- no,’’ was formerly Mrs. Stephans of Billings, and conducted the hotel where Pilcher stopped there. Pilcher said after bis arrést that he married her to square his board bill and to acquire a “meal ticket’’ for the futvre. In court Pileher carried a high silk hat and wore clothes of fashionable cut. A bouquet adorned his lapel, and he car- ried himself with an air of indifference. The ‘Prince of Salerno’’ company is dispersed. It was composed of a num- ber of girls from St. Louis and suburbs. one of whom was Known at the Locust street boardin house where she and Pilcher stopped, and where the rehears- als were held, as Mrs. Kingston.

It is clear to every- one. Everyone knew it before Mr. Mulvihill made public the fact that he had discovered it. But why stop with the “fake clubs”? Why them “fake” clubs when they can be legally or- vanized under an act which exempts club men from laws rigorously enforced against. those who are not claib men? So long as club men, more especially the genuine, irue-blue club men with the hall-mark of the highest vespectability, can drink at their club buffets, open on Sunday and undisturbed by Sunday closing laws, the.Sunday closing law is itself a “fake.”

Loung Mr. Carter, the Missourian living in a stonecutter’s shed in cheerful poverty during his term of study at the Columbia University Law School in New York City. presents a brave and in- spiring figure for public contemplation. Not at all a pathetic figure, mind you. He needs no sympathy. “I’m used to this, old man,” he says. “Don’t you worry about me. I’ve roughed it long and often. .We were mighty poor when I grew up in the Ozarks.” Carter. worked his way through the Missouri State University, doing all-kinds of odd jobs. He is determined to get his degree from Columbia Uni- versity, at no matter what. price of deprivation and personal sacrifice of comfort. Missouri has reason to be proud of this Spartan lad in the stonecutter's shed in New York City. He is of the splendid fiber of the men who made the West. -— > > Women cannot vote even once, and they have no capacity as “Indians.” How can they ployment in a city government? - = SS - ee |e WHY HE LCST HIS JCB. A Chicago newspaper has opened its columns to men who “lost their jobs.” They tell why in brief letters, and the writer ef the most satisfactory let- ter gets a prize. The prize goes to a man who blames an employ- uent agency for getting) Ainv tato his trouble. it is noteworthy that not one of these unfortu- nates ascribes his misfortune to his own fault. This is a useful sociological discovery. But it is not exactly new. Very few men get inte trouble through their own fault. It is always the other man. So the #ory goes, and the unlucky man tells it so often that he really comes to believe it himself. The man who manfully acknowledges exclusive responsibility for his own bad luck is a rare char- acter. He is so rare that he deserves special con- sideration at the hands of those who are looking for courage and honesty. A fault acknowledged is ‘fattlt in process of extinction. There is hope for nag who loses his job because he deserved to lose it; and has the courage to confess it.

Of Sir Thomas Browne, a celebrated. physician nd poet of the seventeenth century, of whose per- sonal habits little is known, his biographer says: ‘He seemed averse to being put on record as ‘ai eating, digesting, sleeping and clothes-wearing ani mal, of that. species of which his contemporary, Sir Samuel Pepys, stands as the classical instance.” But the food-loving men and women of the pres- ent day. are not so finica] in this regard. They eat food and plenty of it; they print the names of the dishes on the bill of fare, and are well content tc settle up long accounts for good things delivered by the grocer’s boy.

Some of the ablest intellects in this city or in any other city are now illustrating their highest energies in showing St. Louis how not to have a municipal railroad and wagon bridge over _the Mississippi River. The intellect Dr. Taussig shows with this object in view is almost, if not quite, genius. The City Hall. and more especially the Council Chamber in the City Hall, are showing the same kind of great- ness, We and the nation is therefore have objections, hesitations, doublings, sub- terfuges, fears of failure, calculations of impossi- bility, warnings and every other development of great minds engaged in showing how not to do it. When it was said, something over two thousand years ago, that people who watch the weather to find objections to doing the spring plowing, will not reap, it is clear that even then great intellects were active in the same way they are now in St. Louis. Then and since, however, it has been found that the way to get a thing done is to do it. All the difficulties great intellects can foresee vanish when the thing is done.

4 Though diamonds and other gems are 25 per cent costlier than they were a year ago, the imports for the present year at New York have reached $37,- 000,000. This means large prosperity, of which the pawnbroker may get a share later on. +++-——- DR. OSLER IS STEADFAST. In his book entitled “Counsels and Ideas,’ ex- tracts from which were printed in Wednesday’s Post-Dispatch, Dr. Osler states his views on the age limit of usefulness. They are as radical as those attributed to him several months ago. “When a man no wax nor honey can bring home,” says Dr. Osler, “he should, in the interest of an in- stitution, be dissolved from the hive to give more laborers room.” This is mystic, but not unintelligible. Is the in- stitution everything and the individual nothing’ Moreover, who can say when a man ceases to bring home wax and honey’ The old man in gown and slippers is often the light of the household. Is he not bringing wax and honey because he does not bring cash? Dr. Osler says in this book that the men between the ages of 25 and 40 are doing the work of the world. Are they doing it well? W. E. Corey’s father and uncle think they are doing it very badly. Since the great world-wide outburst of energy in 1898, young men have been in demand because of their energy. The object has heen to get things done. But we are beginning to find out that while energy may get things done. needed to get them well done. Dr. Osler is himself 57 years old.’ He is now do- ing better work than ever before. At least the authorities of the University of Oxford think so. A man is at his best when his energy, intelligence and wisdom are at the maximum. That may be at 30 or 50 or 60 or 70. : late.

WOMAN 68 years old, A w20 had worked tn a factory ail her life, died the other day leaving a bank deposit of $15,000 and 150 pairs of stockings. The rnanner of her life preclud- Jed the possibility of her wearing all the parti-colored and expensive hosiery that was found in the poor little room after her death. She simply liked stock- ings, and collected them, and probably she was never very unhappy. I don’t think the sessor of a genuine hobby ever is. A great deal has been written about the ‘‘cussedness’’ of inanimate things. Not so much of the Infinite solace that s in thern. Hobbies, seems me, are the heart’s narcotics, and one may grow to rely upon them as the opium-smouker does on his deadly ‘‘pilis,”” or the mor- phine fiend on the jabs of his soothing needle. The coilection of stockings or books or beetles, for that matter, may not be very interesting in itself. But it fur- nishes a motive or excuse for living during those days of utter depression, when we wonder why we keep it up, anyway. ‘ihe poor old woman who worked all day in a factory and went home to a narrow, cheeriess, lonely littie room at nignt must sometimes have speculated as to what she gained by it all, because of the singular pus- it to MIXOLA GREELEY- SritTH that possessed her she could always reflect that the next day might bring forth a new and more extraordinary pair of stockings with which the collection might be embel- lished. There are periods of dull weariness for the gay- est, of drop stitches In the chain of life, as it were, that unless we take them up very quickly cause the whole woven ralment of our days and nights to ravel into nothing. And at these times our best friend Is neither man nor wom- an, but the narcotic influence of routine and the soothing solace of inanimate things. How can the book collector die, or ever want to, while there remains an old bgokstore to rummage in for rare éedi- tions? How can the connoisseur of pic- tures take time to mourn a lost love, or one that he can't lose, when there are masterpieces still uncontemplated? If you have ever sewed a lung seam you know how much it helps things along to put a pin in it a certain dis- tance off and work toward it. We seein to get there so much souner, and so it is with Hving. If Saturday were to be knocked out of the week the epidemi or suicides would be the greatest in his- tory. But we should have other mlle- stunes than the pussibuity of getting the grocer and butcher paid, and these a good unreasuvning hobby supplies us, whether it be collecting stockings or old books © or hearts. ee

In the meantime the grizzled war- rior would wait, as usual, for his chance and then come out with a vicious swing, only to miss his foxy opponent so0me- times by more than a foot. He tried the solar plexus and other presumably vul- nerable parts, but the O’Brien anatomy stood all these, and he escaped from tie encounter practically unharmed. Fitz and O'Brien had reached their corners after passing through one of the wildest scenes ever witnessed at a ringside. Everybody was cheering wildly fur both apparently though there is no denying that the greater en- thusiasm was for Fitz. Fddie Graney came upon the plat- form, and afier a word of two with the men and their seconds, both men came from their corners to the center of the ring. O’Brien nimbly jumped from his chuir, displaying a nervous energy that plainly told that he was on edge and as fit as a fiddle. Fitz, with that old dreamy look upon his face, rose quietly and walked to the referee. The men shook hands. O’Brien smiled happily at Fitz. The veteran looked at, the youngster without a smile. He was all business. His lips came together in a straight line, and he listened without ‘comment to the instructions of Graney. His eyes moved over O’Brien as if seeking some weak spot in the apparently perfect physical specimen before him. Graney finished, the men stepped back to their corners and the bell clanged. The immense hall which had been up to this time a babel of voices became as quiet as a church. Everyone be- came set and anxious. a ns & Mrs. Bob Takes His Defeat Philosophically. NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—Mrs. Robert Fitgsinumons, known the stage as Julla May Gifford, who is in New York, took the de- feat of her husband philosophicai- ly. “He did the best he. could,”’ she said, “and it can’t be helped. Any man who keeps on fighting is bound te be defeated at some’ time. At least that is my under- standing of the history of the prize ring. In fact, I know little about pugilism.’’ Mrs. Fitzsimmons received the news from the ringside in her apartments in the Portland in Forty-sevenuth street. Severa! frienags were with her, and they seemed tou take the defeat more to heart than did the wife of the beaten champion. As soon as Fitzsimmons winds up the business matters connect- ed with his fight he will rejoin - Mrs. Fitzsimmons in New York.

Then the-Philadelphian tried a straight left, vut Fitz was net there, Again O Brien eaime in and sent out-a left but with- out serious intent. He was feeling the old man out and Fitz was waiting quietly for developments. O'Brien was still dancing «around Fitz when the round came to an end, and there had only been one or two light exchanges. In the second round the men assumed positions which made it apparent that each had measured the other, and that both were about to proceed to business. Fitz crouched. O'Brien danced in and sent out a straight ‘left, which missed connection. Again ©’ Brien led = and missed, and Fitz countered with a left to the jaw. A roar came from the crowd as Fitz, following up the blow, forced O'Brien into a corner. The Phil- adelphian, however, got out of the scrape by sending out a vicious left, which Fitz was compelled to duck and the men clinched. They broke, and Fitz tried to uppercut. He missed, and O’Brien, quick as a flash, jabbed his left to the jaw. The blow caught Fitz a bit off his balance, and O'Brien quickly fol- lowed with a right and left. Fitz swung wildly and then clinched. Fitz then tried a straight right hand punch, but it did not connect, and O’Brien countered with a short feft jab. The bell rang and ended the round. Honors were even, but e@ crowd reached the conclusion that Fitz had lost his judgment of dis-

gay landed, but O’Brien was backing away, and no danvage was done. O’Brien smil- ed at the old man, and Fitz rubbed his nose with his glove in a meditative way. It was. a bad moment for meditation. for O'Brien suddenly shot out a straight left, which caught Fitz on the point of the jaw and dropped him to the canvas just as the bell rang. Fitz was up im- mediately and walked to his corner un- assisted. In the fourth round, O’Brien. following up his advantage, rushed Fitz to the ropes, and the old man dropped to one knee, staying there until O’Brien backed away. He arose and sent hts left to O'Brien's ribs. A mixup followed, with a rattling exchange, and when the men came out of the clinch a tiny stream of blood was trickling from Fitz's nose The round closed with the men at long range. i In the fifth round O'Brien made a! mark of Fitz's nose and: mouth. He sent in three lefts in quick succession, and the blood gushed from nose and mouth and flowed down over Boh's chin and neck. The sight of Blood made O’Brien rush savagely. Fitz was willing to mix it. In an exchange Fitz sent a hard right to O'Brien's mouth and the Philadelphian was bleeding when he went to his corner. Both men came to the center in the sixth round good and fresh. A ringing cheer came from the crowd as Fitz let go a vicious left Which apparently caught O’Brien flush on the mouth. The blow looked worse than it really was, for O’Brien had partly blocked it and it did no damage. O’Brien again began to play on the bleeding nose and mouth of the veteran. He sent in jab after jab with Fitz apparently taking them. The purpose of the veteran was apparent, for just before the bell rang he cut loose a right swing that would have ended the tight if it had landed on the spot it Was dimed for, O'Brien ducked just in time and caught the swing just above the ear. Then they clinched and when they parted to go to their corn- ers both men presented a gory spect- acle. Fitz was bleeding profusely and his blood was. smeared all over O’Brien during the clinches, &e gett gt gt ttt eagle, ~—~-+ & YOUTH CONQUERED OLD (° AGE.—Opinion of Referee Gra- pey. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Youth conquered old age, and, of course, O’Brien was the victor. The fight was a grand one to look at. O'Brien's footwork and clever boxing were too much for poor old Fitzsimmons to withstand. My sympathy was with Fitzsim- mons all through the battle, and when I saw him collapse in his corner I thought it was only right to stop Fitzsimmons from any further punishment. O’Brien fought a splendid battle. and did not take any chances with Fitz- simmons. He used his left hand jabs with telling effect, and this blow, so frequently landed, was the one responsible for beating the old man. Fitzsimmons lost considerable blood during the bat- tle, which weakened him so badly that he finally went under. I was sorry to see the old man beaten, as he has been a great credit to the ring. EDDIE GRANEY. ®, “9 et ti et ae et ee oe . In the seventh round O'Brien changed his tactics. He stopped his jabbing and began to swing right and left Fitz jabbed and uppercut, but was doing no damage. O’Brien continued to swing and toward the end of the round Fitz took a chance and both men stood in the cen- ter of the ring smashing awav with right and left. In this O’Brien: had the better of {t end Fitz went to his cor- ner with a big limp over hiseright eve, which one of Jack's swings had raised. Again O’Brien changed tactics in the eighth round. He jiabbed Fitz unmer- cifully. He varied his punches. larding on the sore mouth, on the puffed right eve, and on the body, without return This gave O’Brien confidence, and after anasty jab had rocked Fitz he rushed over the right and it told. Fitz dropred to the fleor. He rose slowly and ap- parently dazed. ‘The house was in com- motion. The vast crowd had ris n. O’Brien leaped upon Fitz like a tiger.

ducked and hung on in the elineh. The referee parted the men. O'Brien was eager, too eager, in fact, for he leaped right into another clinch and Fitz agtin hung on until the referee foreed them Apart. This appeared to give Fitz etrength, and when the bell sounded he went to his corner a bit unsteady but in better shape than he had heen in the middle of the round. Tired in the Ninth. Both men were a bit tired in the ninth round. O’Brien landed on Fitz at will. His complete mastery of himself was evident when he again chanzed his style and used the uppercut. Twice he uppercut Fitz hard with the left. just as the bell rang he almost lifted to the jaw. Fitz came back with strength in the tenth round, sen two stiff right-hand punches O'Brien's heart. These were the best blows of the fight for Fitz, and there was strength behind them, for O’Brien danced away and fought at long range until the end of the round. The heart punches must have hurt O’Brien, for in the eleventh round he pursued the dancing master tactics and avoided anything like a mix-up. Fitz chased O’Brien all over the ring and the crowd jeered. Then O'Brien grew Savage and there was a mix-up. Fitz then complained that O'Brien was hit- ting low. The crowd hissed. In the twelfth round, O'Brien having recovered from the heart punches, again resorted to jabbing. He sent in three hard lefts during the ‘round, and blocked every counter that Fitz tried. Then: came the thirteenth. Fitz at once mixed it, sending right to the bodv and left to the face. O'Brien got in an upperett. and hard fighting was seen in the center of the ring, the men exchang- ing blow fur blow. .Thev were fighting hard when the bell sounded.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.—There is still re- mote possibility of Nelson and McGovern com- ing together in a six-round bout in this clty, but if they do not it will be three months hence. Joe Humphries received the followin: telegram last night from H. D. Neach, his rep- resentative in Troy, N. Y.: “Nolan says he will not break his engage- ments to make the date Feb. 23. The last of March, he. says, is the best he can do. Will let you know Thursday or Friday about meet- ing you in New York on Sunday.”’ Humphries at once went out after Bob Imadvy and the two drew up new articles of agreement, calling for a contest on Mareh 16, Nelson to get 45 per cent of the grosg re- celpts and McGovern 35 per cent. They also agreed that each of the principals should post $1000 for appearance and $1000 for welght, all the money to be posted with T. G. Murphy of Philadelphia. Humphries wire Neach: ‘Deady and myself have agreed on Marecb 16. This gives Nelson the three weeks he de- mands after closing his theatrical engagemeots All parties can sign the articles in- New York on Sunday and post all forfeits with Murphy on Monday.’’ “We are determined to force Nelson into this matcb,’’ said Humphries, ‘‘and will give him no excuse. He asked for three weeks to train in after finishing his theatrical dates and we have consented to that. He can have every- thing his own way until the men get into the ring, and then Terry will repay him with iIn- terest or admit that Nelson is the better nam. We want no favors, only a fair deal and the chance to show that McGovern is Nelson's master.’’ sent the following to a oe West End Club Boxing. The first monthly amateur boxing tournament of the West End Club last night résulted tn some clever sparring for the entertainment of the members. The bouts were conducted under the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union and the only one that at all jeopardized the phy- sical welfare of one of the boxers was stopped by Referee Mal Doyle before any damage of cousequence was linposed. Sam Silvyerburg and Charles Brinkman, the contenders ip the first bout, eparred prettily for 95-pound boys. -Silverburg was the best inan and earned the judge's decision. Fadie Meyers and Billy Wall, who also tipped the scales at 95 pounds, were antag: onists in the second bout. Merers’ left jab beat Wall's straight left. Frank Brickman apd Harry Hickel, two 130- pounders. fought to a draw. The indge: were Dr. Ileine Marks and Jvbn T.

The elaborate character of the prepa- rations at the Union Club’ Hall, where the members of the Union Club are co- operating enthusiastically with members of the South Broadway Mer- chants’ Association, has. been told about The members of the West End Busi- ness Men’s Association say ‘‘maybe,”’ when they are told that the Union Club members and the South Broadway mer- chants are going to have the best show. They have an idea that they are going to have a show themselves that will be worth walking some distance to See. They are going to have a military band of 2% pieces, and they figure that this will balance with some of the best features atthe Union Club. The band will be under contract to play as often and as long as the children demand, which means that it will be playing most. of the time. Then there is going to be a turning exhibition by the Northwestern Turn- ers, at whose hall, 3940 Easton avenue, the Festival for that district is to be held.
