' John, the young son of Anthony Me Glnley, of 1219 Cedar avenue, was fa tally burned yesterday morning about 10.30 o'clock by his clothes catching Are from lighted papers pinned to his back by some companions of his own age with whom he was playing on the street near his home. The boys were all about elKht years of age and were romping around. Some of them pinned a news paper to young McGlnley and then lit It with a match. The fire communicated to the lad's clothes and he was envel oped in flames before the eyes of his af frighted companions. Being only a short distance from the house, his folks were quickly on hand and the burning clothes were torn from his body. Dr. William Haggerty was sent for and attended to the boy, but It Is almost a certainty that he cannot re cover. His hands and face suffered the most and his back Is badly burned.

This Is the way Peter Maher talks about the presentation to him of the heavy weight championship by James J. Corbett: "In offering me the cham plonship 'Jim' Corbett thought he was doing me a big favor I dare say. But the championship cannot be given away. It must be fought for, and I propose to win It it I can. I would rather fight than go into the show bust ness. I am not an actor and do not care to be called an actor. Some fight ers can act or think they can. I know I can t, and I do not intend to try to learn. I prefer to fight. I shall start early next month to train for my battle with Fitislmmons. I am better fitted to meet htm than I was when we first fought, so much better that there Is no doubt In my mind aa to the result of the engagement. I think .1 shall win this time, and in a very few rounds at that. I have learned how to box since I fought the New Kealander. This will be greatly, In my favor and he will And my lert nana quite as good as nis own. or I am mistaken." Ex-Pugllist Corbett has not yet got through talking, as the following shows: My sympathies are heartily with Maher in' his match wlthi Fitzslm- mons," said Corbett. "I hope he 11 beat that Australian's brains out. Hut if he does not I'll make Fltzslmmons fight for any amount of money he pleases or for a shoe string. I'll show that fellow up before I get through with him." But in case Fitislmmons loses. what about Maher?" sold the reporter. "I Intend to let Maher alone unless he makes cracks at me. In that case I'll have to call him, that's all. I don't care to enter the ring again, but I won't allow anyone to make bluffs In my direction." The Melbourne. Australia, correspon dent of the American Wheelman says that the great Australian whee) race, the blue ribbon event of .the year, was won by Chrisn, of Tasmania,-, the dark horse road rider. This Is the race that Zimmerman . had Intended to ride in, but at the . last moment . how waa scratched. It is given as the reason that his demaryls were exorbitant and the committee refused to eoncede them. tils entry had been sent In and ac cepted for this event, but he wanted a bonus . besides, which waa refused. This move. It Is said, has made the American very unpopular among the Australians.. y, - - Charley Murphy Is about to attempt the realisation of. his "mile-ln-one minute" dream; Daring the California trip Murphy was aproached by sev eral railroad men, who want to make arrangements for the great ride.

' He Comes Here to Talk Nigntly to larlroad Mea. ..... HIS RECORD IS INTERESTING Is a Railroad Coaductor Preaches Ksllg. Ion and Doa't tike to Bo Called a Novelty-Has a Method : ' In Bis ,' Work. ' "Jim" Burwlck Is in Scranton. This announcement does not suggest any significance, perhaps, to those who have not heard of him, but his presence here Is a matter of much Importance to the railroad branch Of the - Toung Meifs Christian Association. He Is here to ad dress, each night, until Sunday, Dec. M, a meeting of railroad men and their families. "Jim" Burwlck Is a character; he Is a novelty; he Is unique; although he doesn't pose as any such thing, and, strangely, does not like to be mentioned as an evangelist, although his mission for several years In connection with his railroad work has been to talk religion to men of his own calling. Until eight months ago his speech-making trips brought him repute and fame only in the state of Indiana, but his power to do good among railroad men became known to the International committee of the Toung Men's Christian Association and since the nprlng of the year the com mittee has kept him traveling about the country. In this -connection, u Is a curious fact that last July he resumed his work as freight conductor, which position is always open for him, but within six days he was called by the committee and has been kept on" the jaunt ever since. ' , ' The story of "Jim" Burwlck' early and hard life, reformation, experiences and present work is interesting, and what follows was willing revealed by him when interviewed by a Tribune re porter yesterday: History of the Man. He la forty-two years of age When eighteen years old he ran away from a good home and became a "railroad man." His new home was in a saloon boarding house, where he contracted the common vices such as drlnaing and "bumming," as he expresses it. and lived the vicious and dare devil kind of an existence which might be expected to follow an absence from home Influences and be associated with his rough and dangerous calling. He married and six years ago was converted. His conversion came about In a pecu liar way. The anniversary of his mar riage would fall on Dec. 8, but as early as July he began to anticipate the cele bration of the event "by means of a keg of beer, cards, rough companions and other Ingredients that go with a high old blow-out." During November of that .year he was inveigled Into going to a church service. He had a horror for ohurches, but he had a love for music and went to church because good music was assured him. The rest may be inferred. He was converted and yes terday said: "The Lord fooled me about the beer and card picnic." Following his reformation he de lighted to talk religion to gatherings of railroaders and his efforts proved so productive of good that the officers of the railroad willingly granted him leave of absence to make addresses in many cities and towns. His work, as stated, became known to the Inter national committee of the Toung Men's Christian Association, . and that ac counts for his presence so far East. He will spend the holidays with his family In Detroit and will then visit cities In the state of New Tork. Ills Method Is Simple. In reply to a question concerning his method of talking to railroad men, he said: "I simply tell of Jesus Christ. have no title of 'Rev,' 'Dr.' or 'Evangel ist;' I am none of these I am plain 'Jim Burwlck, a railroader, and as such can talk to railroad men and gain their confidence. Now we boys have a ver nacular of our own and we like to be talked to by someone who can talk in oar own peculiar tongue. Goodness knows, I haven't the slightest Idea of good grammar, but I know the phrases, slang and language of the railroad and I am perfectly natural when speaking from a railroaders standpoint to rail road men. Now In a political cam paign you wouldn't expect a slum ora tor with seedy clothes, bad grammar and his vernacular to Influence an aud ience of voters In a fashionable dis trict; neither would you expect a gath ering of laboring men to be Influenced by a mass of elegance, figures and the ory dished out to them by a kid gloved fellow. Just so In my calling; I know the men I'm talking to and I know Jesus Christ and In introducing the mn to Him I don't have as much trouble as would some better dressed and bet ter educated chap. See the point? "A peculiar incident happened recent ly In Elmlra. It Illustrates how-little seriousness might be given my address es to cultured and educated, folks;, when railroad men would Under the same cir cumstances 'understand the thought I meant to convey. "I was telling about David's jealousy of ohevwho had been successful In a worldly -sense but who was a wicked man. , I said 'and David didn't have enough clothes on him to flag a train.' , Audience Thought It Was Funny. "The audience thought that a very funny remark and went Into a gale of laughter the boys would have thought. It a very good Illustration and might have smiled, but they would have known how little fabric It requires to flag a train and would have appreciated David' . poverty.. ' That's my way, that's all.. 'No I don't Intersperse funny stories, anecdotes or witty sayings Into my. ad dresses to the boys; I don't have to. I Just tell them what they should or should not do and use the Bible for my authority. I don't like to be known as anybody .or anything but. plain -'Jim' Burwlck that's all I am. The boys I talk to are the same as me but maybe I'm more fortunate than those of them who don't know Jesus Christ'". ' Burwlck is a strongly built man of average - height,- smooth, shaven and has a deep, sympathetic and pleasant voice. He dresses no better and no worse than might any railroad man-ope meet off duty. HI countenanoe re veals a kind heart, but bear the marks of a hard life and exposure. The opening meeting was Jast might well attended by railroad men "find their families. The meetings will, be held at 7:10 o'clock each night until Sunday, Dec. 10 and on Sunday after noons at 3:45 o'clock., The Saturday night meetings will be for men only.

Extreme Prostration From Fevers of every description, especially typhoid, is the doctor's fear and the patient's danger; medicine is of but little avail, sufficient nourishment to create new strength ' to carry the patient over the crisis is what is nec essary, a persuading of the great machinery of the body to go on , with its work is the end sought . after ; hence physicians recommend Bovinine tliat ' greatest of concentrated food preparations, that creator of strength,: maker of flesh tissue, and blood enricher, which, putting the vital organs in their normal condition,, enables them to dis pel disease. Dr. G. Curson Young of Phillipsburgh) N. J., says, " I have used Bovinine with great satisfaction.
