SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Vouag Boy Fatally Baraed While Playing
with Companion Who Bet Fir
to His Clothes Just for Fan. '
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.

SPORTING CHIT CHAT.
This Is the way Peter Maher talks
about the presentation to him of the

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

that. I have learned how to box since
I fought the New Kealander. This will
be greatly, In my favor and he will And

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."

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. One case, an
old lady of seventy years, con
valescing from typhoid fever, but
very slowly, gastric irritation
complicated with extreme prosr
tration gave but & faint hope of
recovery. I gave her Bovinine,
a complete restoration to
