Corbett will referee the fight between Terry McGovern and "Young Corbett," the featherweights at New Lon don on August 29. Tim Hurst had been MISS ETHEL President's Second Daughter Haying Time of Her Life at Oyster Bay, Where She Is Townfolk's Pet. v There is not a more healthy-minded little girl in America than Ethel Roosevelt, the second daughter of the President. 'She is the de light of her father, the pet of the people of Oyster Bay, and even young Archie Roosevelt declares' "there is lots of fun" when she's around. Miss Ethel is thoroughly enjoying her vacation. decided n, but owing to "Young Corbett; protesting, the ex-champlon was chosen. Joe Goddard was shot at Canden, N. J., by a negro and Seriously wounded while electioneering. ' Tom. Tracey will light Tom ReDly in Seattle on August IS. The men will weigh la at 134 pounds. Tracey will, under the direction of Martin Denny, begin active training. . , , - Joe Gans, who knocked out Rufe Turner last week has gone to hla home In Atlan tic City to take a much-needed rest. Young Corbett of Denver, will after his fight with McGovern,' on August , take up hla . residence In New York on , the ground that the penver people havs not treated him right. ' Pugilistic Manager Biddy Bishop, well known In Portland, where be has man aged several bout, In speaking of fight er's .seconds? says : ' i, j'A " , second must know how to put his man up for. each round In a refreshed condition, but -his work does not stop there. He should be a cool-beaded chap with plenty of tores thought and capable of taking advantage of every little technical point, that- may present Itself, and ha should know how to coach his charge and to sxplqw to bint the weak points of , his opponent. ' Ha should be possessed of a thorougn knowli edge M. rings tactics, which Is acquired only fri)m"; year of practical experienced Oood trainers and ton notch pugilists ar not always L first-rate sk uikIb. I have seen some of the best ngl.ters and train ers we have in Auk ri' a make the very- worst sort of failures a seconds. There is a knack about it tlifit few can master. The greater number o( men who act as seconds are altogether too excitable; they forget all they know i.i tlielr excitement and eagerneae, and when in that state are more of a drawback to the fighter than a help to him. "Of couine. all the best seconds this country affords could not make a man win when in- is up against a better fighter than hinwlf, with every thing else even, still I have seen many a contest that resem l l-d a drawn prop osition drawn out of the fire und inci dentally won byinfei lor men with proper handling und good advice, while the los ers, with their 'Inexperienced seconds and poor advisers, were the belter lighters." FIQHTEIt AND FAKER. Some writers have tried to create the Impression that the MiFadden-Gans bout recently fought In Han Francisco was a fake, Gans haltered McFadden all about the ting from the sound of the gong 1n the first round until the third, when McFaddeh's seconds threw up the sponge. All reports of the battle make It appear that McFadden was completely outclassed. There It; no reason to think the fight Was not on Its merits. Gans has steadily advanced tor the past few years, while McFadden Iiuh steadily ret rograded. Gans sensational victory over Erne, putting the champion down and out In 60 seconds of the lirst round, fttamps the negro as the greatest 135 pound man In the world, There Is no question that Gans has been engaged In some raw fakes. In Mis first bout with Erne the negro! "laid down." He was plainly Erne's master, and he was in a quandary as to how he could quit and thus cash the bets ids friends had made on Erne. The cutting of his eye gave him" the necessary excuse. Gans also laid down to MtSUovern In Chicago. The tii'gro could whip McGovern In half a round. WhentSans tights on his merits he Is Invincible. Some question as to his courage has been raisexl.;- Apy one who saw hla terrlfloij battle wltH Hawkins at the Broadway, A. C. will not question his gameness; He was floored in both bouts, but got uj and won quickly. ' AKRON GIANTS ASPIRATIONS. Gus Ruhlin'S ambition Is pathetic. Ho wants to be champion of the heavy weights, but he has no more chance than a snowball In Mt. Pelce. The sudden death of Jeffries "and Fluslmmons would do the -trick, -Penver Ed Martin, who doubtless can beat Tiuhlln, would not' challenge hla stable coiniwinlon. Ruh lln Is tlie master of the second, division heavyweights, as Is proven by twice put ting Sailor Sharkey hors du combat and easily disposing of Matter and a host of others In that cfass. But Ruhlin will never recover from the beating he re ceived from Freckle-Fisted Fiteslmmons at Madison Square Garden two years ago. The 'Cornlahman punished Ruhlin "In the body so severely that for a week the Akron Giant lay between life and death in Madden's South Brooklyn cot tage. The fact that Ruhlin cannot stand any body punishment was made evident last winter, when he quit in five rounds before the stomach ' punches of cham pion Jeffries. ROOSEVELT. In Martit., Madden has the best negro heavyweight since the days of Peter Jackson. Martin Joes not hit as hard as Jackson, but is very'" clever and wears his man down a la Corbett. If Marlim gets the -chance, which Isanot likely, he might change th complexion - of the championship title. SILVER WEDDINGS. The silver wedding may be celebrated by a reception or a dinned party, accord tug to the preferences of the persons most Interested. '""-.' T" At a reception the- refreshments may be served from the dining room buffet, and from the beautifully decorated table, but the guests are pot '. seated as at a dinner party. The husband assists bis wife In receiving, . : . ... ' If a regular dinner party li given, It Is an accepted custom for the .''silver'' bride and bridegroom to lead the way to the dining room arm In arm,' for tha wife to sit at her husband's right hand at the table. Bhe also cuts tho wedding cake when It is brought on, If the celebration Is a dinner party, or after the most of the fuwts have arrived. Boston Journal.

Etch round he kept jsbUng Jcffiles in the face, re peatedly opening old cuts a:icl nealti and again landing on the nose, which had beert broken In one of the early rounds. ' During , each Intermission the cham pion's cuts and wounds would be dressed and pn'tchtad, only to be opened afresh a moment Inter by Fijsslmmons. Mad with pain "and blinded with blood and -aga,' Jeffries would rush at the excham plon like a bull, only to be ilea tly side stepped and 'jabbed once again on his badly cut face. Then lo have Fltz, when he woe having all the best of it, suddenly stoDiUnd leave 'an opening for a knock out blow, to my Way of thinking, cer tainly giyrs coloring to the cry of "fake." The argument la made that If there had been a fake the result of the fight w-ou Id have been Ihe Other way. This how ever, lacks fores. Who would have -been benefitted by Fltz3lmmons winning? Certainly not the gamblers, foj: I venture to say that nine out of every li bookmak ers had the -.long end of every wager made; The Jeffries mn being professional gamblers, stood to lose a great pile '' of money. They are not the class of people to take any chanpa of- losing. It made no difference to them whether Jeffries or Flt?slronipns was champion. Their sympathies In no way effected their bet ting. Jeffries was the champion: he had whipped Fits, and was much the younger man. Theee facts were enough to make the Callfornian the favorite In the bet ting; but not, J think,- at the odds which prevailed. Reports say Fltssimmons had many supporters, but these were Individ uals who roroembered when the Cornish man was conslderedlnvinclDle. and they were by no moans banded together like the ; bookmakers. Consequently they could take no joint action. Not so with the gamblers. They stood together oh 'all propositions, and atop at nothing, to win out. U Is fair to pre sume that to make assurance doubly sure they, would not hesitate to approach Fitkglmmans, and offer him, a big piece of money If he would lose the light. Tak. ing everything Into consideration, tha fact that Fits quit agbtlng just when he waa suupcaed .- have,- and, according to all accounts, Jiad. him the champion) In :a 'ifafr ! way '$6 whipped, f makes one hrnk that' the Australian' had hof1 desirt Fits Is said to have' cried after the fight cried beoaiusa lie 'should have been ac cused; of Vfaklng, In an j Interview he proclaimed Jeffries the better man. ". This was a -mighty sudden , Change. An hour or two before he professed confidence In his ability. to win, and said he would never have v lost the championship had he not held .Jeffries too JIghtly.

IDC A T i-1 1 VTIV I r IV . . , CENTRAL -v i ?? - Building of -Coos 5 Bay Mt Line Begun; NEWDOCKATEMPIRE Will Mark Western Terminus of a Transcontinental Line : - r ' " , Chief Engineer Kinney, of the- Great Central Railroad Company returned last night from the Cobs Bay country, He makes, that authoratlve and Important announcement that construction work on the Belt Line Railway, which will enclr. nlA Ctnm Daw h. ..,,,.11.. K..n Tha total length of this new line is 15 miles. All necessary franchises and rights of way have been secured. - The Belt Line will begin - at Empire, run thence to Marshfleld, from there to East Marsh field, and from the 'latter place to Glas gow and out upon tlie jetty. ; Today the . work of building the dock at Empire, which la to mark the termi nus of the Great Central, was begun. Chief Engineer Kinney say that tha Beit Line looad will be pushed on to completion as rapidly as possible and as rapidly as is consistent with good work. It will be built lust as If there were not being considered a great enterprise to connect it with Salt Lake and to make of it the terminus of a new transconti nental system on the shores of the west ern ocean. As The Journal has persist "entry stated from the first, this project Is .certainly incubating, and with the ac complishment of certain matters will very probably be o'fflclally announced In time. As the several corporations which are auxiliary to each other In the develop ment of the' Great Central project un fold themselves, all this seems more cer tain than ever. In spaeklng of the jetty on Coos Bay, Mr. Kinney says that his company will 4b1ca fk hind In nnttlnir ft fntr. otic n. anY In repairing the ravages wrought by ths Pacific.. He will have placed great gran ite blocks quarried from the mountains along the Great Central's rights-of-way and put them in place. A this seems practicable, especially when It Is shown that the cost heretofore has been 78 cents per cubic yard, whereas yie new com pany can lay the granite down for 50 cents per cubic yard. Reference was made In these columns recently to the acquisition by the. Great Central of tho rights of the old embryot- lc Rogue River Railroad Company, be tween Drain and Scottsburg, which will probably, form another link In the trans- ' continental system. Mr. Kinney has been looking- Into this matter also. He considers tho-better route for this lln3 would beilong the Umpqua to Its mouth, or to Gardiner. There are presented very few topographical features to militate against the construction of this line. What few there are are eay problems for theenglheerlng department to solve. At"ono"p61nt' It will be necessary to bore, a funnel 800 feet long, but by so doing three: miles of" distance will be saved, : A camp' of nearly half a hundred men are at Empire, and -Roseburg Is pouring in its quota of laborers and teams. En- ' glneer George Lyman will at once make his way to take' levels to Elkton. It Is probable that when August 15 shall come around, and maybe before that, such an array of estimates and figures, prelimi nary Hens of survey, etc., may be sub mitted, that the Eastern men' whose oapl tal Is backing the great enterprise will be convinced of the feasibility of the plan' as ' originally conceived. There cah be'1 little doubt now, but that the new trans continental Une has really made a begin-.' nins. . SHORT PERSONAL STORIES. Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, was at breakfast In the Shoteham cafe with party of friends. ' -f: ." "What time Is It?" asked one of tho party. Apparently nobody had a watch, and a motion was made to call a waiter. "Don't do that." said Senator Dietrich. Then he reached down In his coat pocket and lugged out a big nickel 68-cent alarm clock. He looked at It and said "Quarter past ," stowed the clocls away, and went on eating. "For heaven's sake, Dietrich," said one of his friends, "do you always carry1 that alarm clock In your pocket?" "Always", replied Dietrich. "You see, it's this way: I. have so many engage ments that I am. likely to forget some of them. So when 1 start out in the morn ing I give the alarm a few twists, fix It to go off at U minutes before tha time of my first engagement, and put it in my- pocket. At 10 minutes before I should leave the Senate the clock goes off for a few rings and I remember what I have to do. Then I set it for the next, engagement, and so on, through the day.
