ROOT WINS ON A FOUL I
G1VEX TUB DECISION OVER GARD

FlRTht In the Seventh Round.
SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 31. In the sev
enth round of what was to have been a
20-round encounter between George Gard
ner, of Lowell, Mass., and Jack Root, of
Chicago, the latter was awarded a de
cision here tonight upon the claim of a
foul. In a hurricane fight that developed
Gardner as the aggressor, but Root as the
superior boxer, the Lowell man was
beaten and finally forfeited the fight upon
a. blow conceded by a majority of the
spectators to have been a .straight foul.
Gardner found in Root no .such easy op
ponent as "Kid" Carter had been, nor did
Root find in Gardner o easily handled a
man a. was Byers when the two met here.
Gardner, however, fought on the outside
In a wild and uncertain style, while Root
fought on the inside determinedly and
"well. Gardner suffered the disadvantage
of lming his left .yc practically closed
by a right-hand punch in the .second
round, and he was never himself after
that. In the fourth round, however, lie
mb.sed his only opportunity during the
battle. The Lowell man delivered a vig
orous right-hand punch that caught Root
apparently behind the ear. and the Chi
cago man went down. Root took the
count to four heeondn, then held in a
clever clinch, saving himsHf for nearly
half a minute, until his head ws clear.
In the sixth round. Gardner was fighting
low. and the claim of foul was made upon
two occasions, but Ignored by Referee
"Wand. When the round closed Gardner
"was plainly in distress and stood small
ciiann of winning.
The seventh rouufl opened with Root
boring In methodically and Gardner flgnt
Ing wild in evident desperation. It was
then, after one minute and 40 seconds of
this ort of work, that Gardner started
n Uft rip for th ntoniach and caught
Jton suu.irely in the groin. The Chicago
man sank to the flooi with a .groan and
Gardnei was dragged to his corner by his
trainer, Alec Greggains. Referee "Wand
at once awarded the decision to Root.
The 7000 people gathered in the Mechanics'
Pavilion hissed Gardner as he left for ills
dressing-room and applauded Root with
vigor when lie had sufficiently recovered
to leave the ling.
"I did not mean to foul him." wa Gard
ner's statement immediately after the
fight. "I did foul him, however, and the
"0ecifiion was a fair one. I started a left-
hand swing and Root rushed upon it. I
eould not stay the blow and it lost me the
fight. I think I stood a chance up to
this time, and had mucli rather have been
knocked out than to have lost in this
manner."
Root, when iecn in his dressing-rootn,
said:
"Gardner fouled me more than once. He
complained in the seventh of my fighting
low, which convinced me that lie did not
mean to play fair. I will leave It to the
spectators whether pr not he intended to
deliver the blow. I simply know he dealt
it and that it was a plain foul."
The fight by rounds follows:
Round 1 Gardner was on his feet first
and waded right in, but did not land. He
tried his right and left for the body, but
was blocked. Root tried to put In a left
to the head, but the blow went wide.

f l each others methods.
Round 2 Gardner led for the head with
a left, but was short: he sent a right in

the face. Gardner upper-cut Root with
a right on the jaw, but the blow lacked
force. Gardner chopped Root with a left
on the face. In the clinches, Gardner
arponred to be fouling Root. Root was
smiling, while Gardner looked a trifle
worr'ed.

his :cft. but missed. Gardner held Root
in the clinches and was repeatedly cau
tioned by the referee. Root put his right

BROAD DEFEATED SCLUVAX.
GninK Ttcclnlan nt CIiIchro nt End of
Six-Round Boat.
CHICAGO. Jan. 31. Kid Broad of Cleve
land, pained a decision over Tommy Sulli
van, of Brooklyn, at the end of a six-round
contest tonight at the Illinois Athletic
Club. Constant clinching during the last
two rounds was ah that .saved Sullivan
from being knocked out. AVhen the fight
ended he was on the verge of collapse, and
hangln.c to Broad, who was unable to
shake him off and land a knockout blow.
The men met at catch weights, and Broad
bad at least six pounds the better of it.
This extra weight began to tell after the
three first rounds, and BroaS landed with T
either hand about when ana where he
pleased.
The fifth round was the best of tne fight.
Both started in with vim, and each landed
several telling blows. After about a min
ute's fighting, while they were standing
close together exchanging swings. Broad
landed a hard right on Sullivan's ear. send
ing him to the floor. Sullivan got i p with
difficulty just as the referee railed his
hand for the count of 10. Broad, tjinking
he had won the fight, turned toward his
corner. Sullivan rushed at him and land
ed a wild swing on Broad's jaw. Tne
blow did little damage, however. Broad
wheeled around and commenced hammer
ing Sullivan all over the ring. When the
rounded ended Sullivan was barely able
to stagger to his corner. Sullivan re
sorted to clinching again in the sixth, and
barely saved himself from a knock-out as
the fight ended.
Monmouth AVIns the Game.
MONMOUTH. Or.. Jan. 31. (To the
Editor): Replying to a letter from New
berg in the Oregonian of the 30th. claim
ing a tie in the basketball game between
the State Normal team, and team from
Pacific College, it Is fair to say that the
score of 1C to 13 in favor of Monmouth,
reported to the Oregonian from this
place was furnished by the official scorer
and was the record announced by him
and sanctioned by the referee as the re
sult of the game. The Newberg team
objected to one decision by the referee,
and gave oral notice of intention to pro
test. The Normal team Is willing to
abide by the official decision on the pro
test, but until such decision is made
claims the game. The Normal team has
no knowledge of any arrangements made
for a future game.

SMALLPOX AT KALAMA.

Condition in That City.
KALAMA. AVash., Jan. 27. (To the Ed
itor.) Noticing an interview in Satur
day's Oregonian with Dr. Zan. City
Health Officer of Portland, In regard to
smallpox in Kalama, I wish to correct the
statements made therein.
The first case of smallpox In Kalama
was diagnosed January 4, about 11 o'clock
A. M., and by 4 o'clock of the same day
the local Board of Health had quaran
tined the patient and Issued an order that
all persons living or sojourning in Kalama
immediately apply to the City Health
Officer for vaccination, free of charge.
About 400 persons were vaccinated by the
city, r.nd a great many others by the local
doctors.
The City Health Board then sent for
a member of the State Board of Health to
j visit our city. The call was answered by
Dr. Heg, of Seattle, a member of the
State Board, who expressed himself as
satisfied ' with the action of our local
board. We have had altogether about 30
cases In our city, four of which were se
vere, and one very severe, the others mild.
Strict quarantine of all cases has been
and will be maintained, even to the dogs
and cats. R. E. DARNELL. M. D..
City Health Officer.

The announcement "wis made yesterday,
as it has often been made and no doubt
often will be made, that a certain per
son has been "made the recipient of a
gift." You hear this expression oftener
than its correlate, "became the donor of,"
but one Is just as good English as the
other. They ought always to go together,
so as to give us announcements like this:
John Smith was made the recipient last
evening of a box of cigars, of which John
Jones became the donor. How much
easier to say John Jones gave to John
Smith. Some people seem to think that
whatever sounds strained must be cor
rect. "Getting" Isn't in It with being
"made recipent of," "floral tributes" take
the shine all off from plain "llowers,"
"speckled beauties" or "finny denizens of
the deep" leave ordinary trout or codfish
away out of sight. These are some of the
lessons of the art of fine writing, and
tbey arc worth cocslicriflg.

Germany has taken no action In this mat

A JOURNALISTS' FUND.

Andrew Carnegie submits an interesting
query in response to an appeal bearing
the names of two veteran iournalists.

pCn," to "the staff that never advc
J itself." but that is engaged in the
: n.ays to "the unheraldwl solders f th
ertises
tho p,im-
. paign against all that debases and for all
that elevates human society. But he
raises a doubt as to the advisability of a
home for indigent journalists, upon the
general ground that such men have indi
vidualities so strong and personalities so
marked that they would not find happi
ness In an Institution of charity. It is
probably true, as he .-.uggests. that such
men cling to old haunts and associations.
If crippled for active service, they would
find their greatest happiness in lingering
about the scenes of their past triumphs
and in meeting their associates who are
still in the harness. As "the literary man
In old age Is of all men most sensitive to
environment." Mr. Carnegie doubts wheth
er such persons would care to spend their
declining years herded with others in an
isolated home for the worthy poor. In
stead, he suggests the creation of a fund.
to be administered by a carefully selected
dlgcnt newspaper writers In their accus
tomed homes. To such a fund he Inti
matej that rich men would doubtless glad
ly contribute.
A discussion of the rewards and of the
failures in journalism and their causes
would be aside from the plan suggested
by the man whose desire it is not to die
rich. It is a plan worth considering by
thoughtful and sympathetic tollers in the
j profession where so many men write their
the members of the profession for an an-
swer to the question whether they would
prefer to go to an asylum in their old age
or be kept alive by a tactful system, of
"outdoor relief."

EVANGELICAL RELIGION.
AVhat Ix It f The Answer Given by a
Member of the Church.
As this question has been somewhat ex
ploited of late In our city. It seems to
many tninking people that the entire dis
cussion has failed to hit the mark. In the
discussion of any religious question today
(true also of any question) one should re
member we are a long way from 1S46 or
the definitions then placed on things: that
through the providence of an all-wise
Father we are not living in the age of
universal dogma, but in the new dispen
sation of the light, of the revealed word
of God.
First, what is religion? Religion, as we
understand It. Is a vital union with the
Lord; the conformity of heart to the will
of the Lord; the openness and docility of
the understanding to be taught by the
Lord: the purity of heart which gives us
the piwer of seeing God; the cordial, en-
tire surrender of the heart and the un -
derstandlng of the affections and the

thoughts, the whole being penetrated and
filled with the life of heaven. That is re
ligion. It Is vital religion, it is evangeli
cal religion, according to the very word of
God. Where shall we go for the definition
of evangelical religion? "Search the
Scriptures, for In them ye will find eternal
life."
Read Luke 11:10-11. On that night when
shepherds faithfully watched their flocks,
the angel appeared and announced the
wonderful, marvelous truth that the Lord
had come: what were his first words?
"Behold, I bring you good tidings of great
Joy!"
In the Greek language, in which this Is
written, a Greek student of undisputed
authority tells us, that the sentence. "I
bring you good tidings." is expressed by
the single word euaggelizomal; Anglicized
this is pronounced evangelizomal. From
this word comes our word of evangelize,
and its various adjective and substantive
derlvUlves, "evangelical." "evangelism,"
"evangel," etc. This Inspiring word be
came in the history of the great spiritual
movement which its use inaugurated one
of the most prominent and inspiring of all
new expressions which were coined for the
purpose of bringing to the world the new
truths then revealed.
In its substantive form, evaggellon, or
Anglicized a.gain, evangellan, our Lord him
self Is constantly using the expression.
Whenever its occurs In that form it trans
lated "the gospel," which is an Anglo
Saxon word, meaning good tidings. This
meaning, clearly shown us in the "Word,"
belongs as well to the English words de
rived from it. An evangelist, then, is one
who brings good tidings, and proclaims
them to the world. The evangelical are
those who receive the good tidings, receiv
ing them truly.
Tho T1W nitYl nrnAlnlmrrl nt Vlc onmlno"
was indeed an evangel, a gospel, a good
tidings, and It was no less than an inspl-
ration, rather a revelation, that It should
be called an evangellum to the world, and
that all who should receive It should re
ceive this religion and be called the evan
gelical; that is, receiver of good things.
To whom shall we go now to find out
what these '"good tidings" are? AVho is
to define for us what this evangel was
that stirred men's hearts? Shall we go
to the theologian of the past or present,
or to the Divine Word? I contend there
Is but one text-book to go to, and thU
tells us distinctly what Is the good news,
and therefore defines with divine author
ity (not man's) the meaning of the word
evangelical. "For unto you." the angel
sald, "is born this day in the City of
David a Savior, which Is Christ, the
Lord." The holy evangel, then, the glad
tidings, is that the Lord has come, and
that he is our Savior. He who receives
this good news Into his faith and Into his
life, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ,
accepting him as a Savior, has received
the good tidings and has become evan
gelized. Hence, in the reception of these
great truths, has come evangelical.
There is no other authority for the in
terpretation of the word evangelical. This
Divine authority reveals the meaning of
the word by the way It is employed in the
Holy Writ. Against such testimony let no
diet, alliance or council speak, neither let
them cumber it with man-made definitions.
J One supreme truth stands out unmlstak-
ably revealed. That the "Lord our God is
our Lord, our Savior, our Redeemer." He
who maintains that any special theory or
interpretation of the nature of the Lord's
work as Savior Is essential to the true
reception of these tidings is holding a posi
tion the state of enlightened Christians at
the present day demonstrate to be utterly
untenable.
Which theologian shall we believe? If
our evangelical faith depends upon be
lieving some one of the man-made expla
nations of doctrine, woe be to us.
Nay, Nay, the true explanation is in
the Holy Word, and any of us holding
any special theory concerning any pecu
liar meanlntr of the tnrm ovanceHcal. is
simply a sectarian. He beinir rlcht. all
others wrong. Religion is spiritual health.
I contend that no human being can be
come a genuine Christian until the prin
ciples of the kingdom of heaven are or
ganized in his will and intellect. His mind
must be illuminated with the light of Di
vine truth, that it may see the principles
which constitute a heavenly life.
When the Lord searches the human
heart, and with his omniscient eye pene
trates to its very depths, will he be look
ing to find out what church denomination
we belong to. or will he be looking for
his Image and likeness? If he finds this
Image engraven on hearts and lives; even
in faint outline. It will be well with us.
If not. what?
It Is a sincere regret to many, very
many honest, true Christians, that Godly
men should waste precious moments (all
j of them belonging to God) in theological
disputations, and the drawing of creed
I lines between hearts that should be all
j aflame with God's love. Let every one
' stop useless discussion of differences and
only strive to prove his own right to be
THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the fames which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which the make, comes the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a. laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy Itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used bj- fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Fig's is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping-, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefull' guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be

MILLIONS A YEAR
IXCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MOXEY
LOST BY THE AVORKJXG CLASSES.
An Interview With George AT. Ham
mond, of Tacomn, AVash., a Man
Who Tnlks Prom Experience.
The money lost annually by skilled
workmen of all occupations figures up .to
millions of dollars, and is becoming
greater every year. This amount o
money represents mainly time lost and
the serious effect upon the social com
fort of the workingmen and their families
is evident. Mr. George V. Hammond, of
Tacoma, Wash., said the other day:
"I have lost my share of time, but I am
thankful to say that I have not been
losing any of late."
"You don't look as if you had lost much
through sickness."
"No, and I don't feel so. But the fact
remains that I was a very sick man. I
took cold along in 1SS9, and rheumatism
settled in my arms and shoulders. I suf
fered for three years, and nothing re
lieved me until in April, 1S92. upon the
recommendation of my sister, I began
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People and found relief in the sec
ond box. I took five boxes in all. and
now am entirely cured and have had no
occasion to use them since."
Mr. Hammond resides at 610 North,
Steele street, Tacoma, Wash., and at the
requeat of the reporter made aflidavit
to his above statement before James H.
Dege. a notary public, on July 5, 1901.
