A HALF MINUTE FIGHT, ratal- Mahar Knock. On ' O'Dounall In Short Order. ; STow York, Doo. 23. It took just 87 seoonds' time for Peter Maher, tbe Irish tinnilisfc. to"irin demonstrate hiB superiority in ring taotlos and bard hitting qualities over Steve O'Danuell, the Australian boxor, in the arena of tbe Greater New York Athletio Club at Couey island today. Both men were in excellent condition and trained to tbe hour. Each of them ws ooufldent, tat Mutter's backer made him a hot favorite, the odds ranging from 8 to 6 to 1 on the Irishman's ohanoea of win " ning. . O'Donnell wai the first to enter the ring. He climbed through the ropea at 8:30 o'clock, olad in a gray-oolared bath robe. His second! were gam Fit patriok, Billy Madden, Mike Bntler, and Una Ruhlin, the Canton, O., giant When , Maher emerged from bis dress ing room five minutes later a cheer went up which shook the building. As soon as he got into the ring Maher bowed his acknowledgment for the warm welcome extended to him, and he never looked better in his life. He was escorted by Peter Lowtv, of Dub lin; Peter Burns, of Harlem, his spar ring partner, and Jaok Quinn, of Brooklyn. Maber weighed pounds, and O'Donnell 181 pounds. The men shook hands at 8:48, and Referee Aleck Brown lost no time in bringing them together. There was intense silence when the men put their fists np and Maher rushed aoross the ring almost to O'Don nell's oorner. Both sparred t or a f w seconds, and O'Donnell led with his left for the body. Maher blocked his blow with his right glove. Peter then jabbed his left hard on the chin an J landed heavy left swing on the faoe. This staggered O'Donnell. and he seemed to be nnable to avoid Mabei' rushes. Maher sent O'Donnell to the floor with a bard left on the ohin, and the Australian stayed down seconds. . As soon as he got to his feet O'Don nell assumed a defensive attitude, bnt Maher quickly sent bis left onoe more on "t-e ohin, and as O'Donnell was fall ing oangbt him quickly with a half hook, knocking the Australian down. Steve rolled over on his back in a help less condition, and tbe referee slowly counted him out The big Irishman stood about twelve feet away from his fallen opponent while the referee was counting off the seconds, and as soon as the referee tallied ten a tre mendous shout went up from 1,800 peo ple who bad watched the brief encoun ter, and the band played "The Wear ing of the Green" in honor of the vio tor. . . " - . - k . : ' A Fire in San Francisco. San Francisco, Deo. 28. Fire this afternoon destroyed the plant of Francis, Valentine & Co., one of tbe largest printing firms in this city. The fire broke out in the basement, oo (raped by the Comn ej.-cial Light & Power Company, and spread to the first floor, where the Buswell Bookbinding Company was wiped out The upper floors were occupied by Francis, Valen tine & Co. Their presses, which were insured for $30,000, were slightly damaged, while the stock and wood cuts were nearly destroyed. The to tal loss will probably be under $50, 000. Two years ago today the same Inildiug was burned. Tbe fire was more disastrous, for the Call was burned out and the building bad to be reconstructed. Today Peter McCabe, a fireman, , fell from the two-story building adjoining and was badly hurt. No bones were broken, but internal in juries are feared. Simon Wac. Despondent. ' San Francisco, Deo. 28. Despondent over his failure to obtain employment, Simon Brauer, a German, 22 years old, attempted to commit suioide early this morning by hanging himself from a timber extending over a tank wall, at the old reservoir on Beservoir hill. He tied one end of a small rope about the timber, the other abont his neck and swung himself off the curb ing of the well. The rope broke, how ever, and he fell fifteen feet to the bot tom of the well, badly spraining his ankle. . Having failed in his at tern pet to end his life, and becoming frightened by the intense darkness that prevailed in the well, Brauer began to shout lustily for help. He was rescued by Mrs. Margaret Allman at 7 o'clock. . Deb Going to Colorado. Denver, Deo. 28. -A Terre Haute, Ind., dispatch says: -Eugene V. Debs has promised President Boyoe, of the Western Federation of Miners, that he will go to Colorado the first of the week to help the Leadville strikers. He will speak in Colorado cities, beginning in Leadville, where a labor demonstra tion is to be given on his arrival. President Boyce says public opinion is still with the strikers and they can bold out indefinitely. President Boyce re ceived a letter saying $2,000 had been sent from Batte, Mont, to aid tbe strikers. - ' Front the Glenmoraa Astoria, Or., . Dec 28. Captain Burns cama over from Ocean Park, Wash., today-and states that the Glen morag is again in a favorable position to be floated.

WEEKLY MARKET WETTER. Downing, Hopkins at Co.'s Review of ' Trade. The wheat market has settled down into one" of a holiday character, and ! iMitiment which freauentlv dominates prices is largely bearish. Most of the pit tradnra have become convinced sua every time the prioe for May gets above 80o it ia a safe sale for a scalp, and when It breaks below that figure it is a purchase for Jcjo to 10 aavauoe. The iriHbihtv oi the onus to main tain the advantage with the news gen erally in their favor has made traders rather skeptical as to the prospects of a material advance before the olose of the year, and there has been a general taking . of profits by small holders, while a few of the large ones have either been out of the market entirely or are trading in small lines. Tbe market is without leaders on either side, and the trade is drifting with the idea that there oan be no permanent marl In the market until alter me holidavs. The Areentine situation is aa much of a Dusale as ever. Supplies in this oountry are decreasing, and the flour tarde is irregular. The Northwestern mills report a large Western demand, and Pillsbnry anuounoes that they will grind on an average of 40,000 barrels per day for some time. Tbe market is in a position where buying is more essential to steady prices than an abundanoe of bull news. The trade has tired of tbe combined rehash of the reports about small re ceipts, the probable soaroity of supplies, the dependence of European countries upon Amerioa, and the continued talk about wheat going to $1. Something new is necessary to stimulate trade. The situation is all risbt, but more speculation is neoessary. The short interest, although tbe largest in sixty days, is easily soared, and an advance nf a faw emta drives most of them in. The bulls on the whole have also grown more timid, and a decline or $o snsKes out those who buy whenever ins mar ket gets strong. At present tnere til little in the market except a scalp.

New Departure In Shipments South- era Porta Contlna- to the Front-In-tereattnar Flsarea Snowing Amorl ca'e Supremacy In Wheat Growing w li ..a t Canter. Men who deal In wheat will remember the fall of 1S96, because of two unpre cedented features: the unexpected rise In the market on the eve of a presiden tial election, and the shipment or me staple from Cbtengo to Southern ports. The first of these phenomena nas at tracted the attention of the whole wm-lil - the umiiul has hardly been no tlced by any one not directly Interested iu the sale and shipment of grain. Aud vit this is undoubtedly rar more impor tant than the other. s!u It la the be ginning of a new order In wheat ship ment Chicago and St. LiOius are me irrent wheat centers of the continent, gaya a writer iu the St. Lonta Globe- Democrat At these two cltiea minions and millions of bushels of grain are massed every year over converging lines of ehlnlng steel. From these two cities It Is sent to the seaboard. In the past the Southern ports of Baltimore, Norfolk, et. have been supplied from St. Louis, while none of Chicago' ship ments, either by rail or water, have been sent to ports south of New York. But this year tbe continued and deter mined efforts of the Southern ports, aided by certain action on the part of the British Board of Trade and the low railroad frelchts from Chicago south east, have tended to divert a part of the whent trade formerly en loved bv New York; hence the new departure In Chi cago wheat shipments. The ports of tbe Atlantic seaboard to the South believe that It will not be THE GREAT AMERICAN CEREAL. many years before they will have suc ceeded In securing a very large and lucrative portion of the wheat trade, and they believe further that this will bring about a great boom to their ports, since, of course, the commerce in wheat will bring other trade. A ship that visits the Southern ports to get wheat must bring merchandise In order to make the round voyage profitable, and If the commercial growth of these ports, now beginning, continues, new lines of steamers between their piers and vari ous parts of the world will be estab lished. In fact it has already been giv en out that one of the great navigation companies of Hamburg will shortly es tablish a new line from Norfolk to vari ous European ports.. To the reader who does not keep well informed concerning such things, It Is not easy to see bow any ruling of the British Board of Trade could have bear ing on tbe commerce of American sea ports, but a little explanation of the facts will make this clear. The British Board of Trade exercises the most care ful supervision Imaginable over British ships, and makes stringent rules con cerning the loading of tbe vessels. This Is due to tbe efforts of a Mr. Pllmsoll, made many years ago. He had in mind the safety of the British sailor's life, which had hitherto been In great jeop ardy, because of the greedy British ship owners' practice of loading their ves sels as deeply as possible, at the same time Insuring heavily enough to min imize the risk of shipwreck from a financial standpoint, regardless of the danger to the men. PUmsoIl's name has been immortalized In the term "Pllmsoll's line," which has been given to the "safe" load mark, and be is un doubtedly entitled to tbe gratitude of sailors the world over. But New York grain shippers do not fully appreciate his services Just now. Acting on tbe principles laid down by Pllmsoll, the British Board of Trade bas declared that In the winter time, when the weather Is heavy In tbe North Atlantic, ships sailing from Baltimore and points south shall be allowed a much deeper water load-line than from points north of that port. That makes tbe ocean freight rates from the South ern ports much more reasonable, and so helps to give them the lead, of course. There is a more or less general Im pression that practically tbe entire com mercial wheat crop of the country Is raised in the prairie States of the Mid dle West and Northwest. This Impres sion Is very wide of the mark. It Is true that tbe wheat raised In these sec- tlona forms the bulk of the commercial crop, but not all of It by any means. Wheat Is raised for sale on farms that are scattered all over the country, oniy ..., eii.i!i.,!. Tsliuul. Muwuichu. sotta, Connecticut and Florida-failing to contribute their quota.

Indiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia, and every one of tho Atlantic seaboard Southern States save Florida, besides some other Southern State. muk Miiti-ihutlons. and the direct ben efits accruing from a good wheat crop are therefore about as widespread as can well be Imagined. It Is dllneult acouralely to calculate the financial benefits of, America s tviipnt pnm when nrloes are fair, but they are enormous.' The total crop of ISiMJ Is estimated at 435.000,000 bushew. If the market keep up aud the average price of wheat at the seaboard Is 80c a bushel, this means the addition of $JI38, 000,000 to the country's wealth. It Is true that the farmer docs not get all this Immense sum, and that the rail roads do get a large slice, but the bulk of all the money paid to tbe railroads, lake ve8Solmcn,.clevator and other ter minal corporations, for handling wheat. Is paid out again at once In the form of wages, to the benefit of those who work with their bands. In this way a Drotilable wheat crop henetltM almost evcrv class In almost every part of the country. It does not, however, bring Uie full value of the crop Into the eouutry In the form of "foreign gold," for the United States la nnt nnlv the Ktvatiwt nrodixvr nf wheat In the world, but the greatest consumer as well. It being estimated tlini STR tVMVnOfl tmahola nr rllnnnand nf every year within tbe boundaries of Uncle Sam's dominion. Accepting toll estimate as correct 60,000,000 bushels of the crop will be available for foreign! shipment That there will be a demand for all this wheat, and more, from abroad, there Is good reason to believe, because of the short crop elsewhere. At 80c a bushel the Inflow of foreign money for this year's surplus would be $48,000,000. This will not be the extent of the cash receipts from wheat this year, however, since tbe left-over sur plus from last year amounts to 80,000, 000 bushels, which, at tbe same rate, will bring $04,000,000 more, or $112, 000,000 altogether. Counting the popu lation of tbe country at 70,000,000, the wheat for sale outside the United States this year will show from tbe outside world about $17.40 for every man, wom an and child-enough to furnish bats and shoes for all and leave a handsome surplus. The hauling of wheat to market be gins soon after the ending of tbe bar vest In some of the great wheat States like Minnesota, whose production Is 60,000,000 bushels, It is a business of great magnitude, and the storing of wheat, even at small railroad stations, requires the Investment of thousands of dollars In local warehouses and ele vators. Men who know bow to handle wheat in bulk are In demand In the wheat States during the period of mar keting and transportation, and the amount disbursed In their wages Is, of course, considerable. In some of the newly opened ond extremely productive wheat fields of the Pacific Northwest where there Is practically no. early au tumn rainfall, the bogs of wheat are piled up by the side of wny freight bouses In quantities sometimes aggre gating hundreds of thousands of bush els, until tbe railroad can get ready to take it away. In States like Maine, however, where the crop Is only about 80,000 bushels, the local transportation of grain amounts to little, and what wheat Is sent away by rail Is generally unloaded from the tall end of the farm er's wagon directly Into the freight car. It Is at the great centers, like Chicago and St Louis aud the big shipping ports of New York and Baltimore, that the handling of wheat assumes greatest magnitude. In Chicago boats and cars are loaded and unloaded directly to and from the elevators, ond In Baltimore wheat Is spouted directly to the holds of outgoing vessels from the elevator. In the early days of gold mining In California waiters In the hotels were paid $5 a day for their labor. A raci for a oirolk. Tbe Contest Batw.an tha Ov.rlsn4 T.l.srraBh and tha Atlantic Canla. The race-course was between the Old World ad the New. Ths racers were telegraph companies. One was called the "Busslau Overland;" the other was tha "Atlantic Cable." Ths track of the "Russian" lay be tween New Westminster In British Columbia, and Moscow In Russia. Up through the unexplored Frnser River Valley It was to run. then on through the mitracked wilderness of Alaska, across Bering Strait, over the timber less steppes of Arctic Siberia, and along the dreary coast of tho Okhotsk Sea to the month of tho Amoor. There the American racers, called " Western ITnlou," were to give over the race to the Russian telegraph department, which was to make lis best time In reaching Moscow.

The path of tho "Atlantic" cable was to be on a tableland some two miles deep In the ocean, reaching from Ireland to Newfoundland. The summer of 1805 found tho world watching this race with great Inter est. It opened when tbe fleet of tho Russian expedition set sail from San Francisco, northward bound.

Children used to be taught that yawning waa a breach of good beha vior; but now, If certain medical testi mony may be credited, It Is Incum bent npon parents to set that . tho youthful members of their flock not only-yawn when nature so disposes them, but even practice what may be called tht art of yawning. According to the results of late Investigations, yawning It the most natural form of respiratory exercise, bringing Into ac tion all the respiratory muscles of tbt chest and neck. . It Is recommended that every ont should have a good yawn, with stretch ing of the limbs, morning- and even ing, for the purpose of ventilating tht lung and strengthening the muscles of respiration. An eminent authority asserts that this form of gymnastic bas a remarkabl: effect in relieving throat and ear complaints. This being tbe case, the revival of an old English pastime, Indulged In a a kind of Christmas gambol In the early part of tbe eighteenth century, might not be out of place. The game was a yawning match, and was played for a prize, which In one Instance on record consisted of a Cheshire cheese. The sport began about midnight, when the member of the company were disposed to be drowsy, and yawn ing was not altogether a forced act. He wbo yawned tbe widest, and at the sam time In the most natural manner, o as to produce the greatest number of sympathetic yawns from the specta tors, wa the winner of tbe cheese.
