JOHNSON'S HAPPY
H0LIDAY'Sf6AMES
SAYS 1110 AND JEFF llOXH
FOUGHT OX THE LEVEL AND
THE BEST MAX WON FORMER !
CHAMPION WILL NEVER EX
TEH PRIZE KIXO AGAIN. I
rtciio, Nov., July 0. While there Is
iiiubIc nud laughter todny lu Jnck
Johnson's enmp, where the black I
heavyweight champion of the world
and his followers exult, there Is gloom .
and somber silence nt the Jeffries J
, stronghold, where the white gladiator
grieves over the loss of both the cham
pionship and the right to make the
proud boast that he Is the "retired, un-
defeated champion of the world." It
Is a bitter day today for Jeffries.
The thousands "of Callfornlans who
came )"re proud of him and confident 1
of his invincible prowess have all de- !
parted with the exception of a few
score who have lingered behind. The
thousands who took the first trains
back to the coast seemed dazed, and
bewildered.
They as well as the sporting men
from other parts of the country havo
spent the hours since the battle debat
ing the white man's defeat, and, whllo
opinions differ as to the cause, the
general tone of the comment shows
that Jeffries has lost more than the
pugilistic crown.
He has, however, won In dollars and
cents what nn average American
would call a substantial fortune.
Jnck Johnson turned over the sport
ing world when he knocked out James
J. Jeffries in the fifteenth round.
It was sudden, tills defeating of a
hitherto unbeaten man. It camo swift
ly, like the dropping of some bolt that
.wrecks n 10,000 horsepower dynamo.
Hardly had the bell sounded when
the lightning movement of tho negro's
right arm in an uppercut ended in a
thud The tremendous heat of the
white fighting man swung back as the
glove lauded on his jaw Just to the
right of the midchln. His torso re
laxed, his knees trembled, then crook
ed. Down ho went.
Sixteen thousand people leaped to
their feet, and tho great dish of the
arena was so still that those eltting
next to the ilug could hear tho click of
the black champion's teeth as he
snapped his Jaw shut ami stood wait
ing over tho fallen fighter.
The timekeeper hud counted nine.
Jeffries, his head swinging from side
to side on his thick neck, struggled to
his feet. Hardly had ho straightened
when two terrible Jjlows shot over hl3
feebly rising guard. A right and left
uppercut to tho chin followed. Down
the whlto man tumbled. This timo his
body was outside the ropes and his
legs were crooked over tho whlto
strands. He sat hunched In this posi
tion, eyes closed, hands drooping over
his knees.
The spell was broken. The arena
roared.
ltlckard, the referee, was rattled.
lie stood by the side of the beaten
pugilist, counting in a dazed sort of
way. Nobody watched him. Every
body had his eyes on Jeffries.
In the uproar Timekeeper Hartlng
counted Jeffries out. Nobody heard
him. Abo Atttcll ran over from Jef
fries' corner and lifted up tho ropes,
while the fighter clambered blindly
through.
The man stood, half crouching,
knowing nothing. Jim Corbett yelled
something nt him. Tho words wero
unheard.
Then enrno tho black man, not know
ing that his antagonist was counted
out
He came lightly, stepping swiftly,
Uko a cat stalking. He Jumped to tho
eldo of the bloodied, half conscious
inun nnd with his nrms jerking back

CHURCH ATTENDANCE.
Dr. Swift was optimistic as well
as patriotic in his Sunday night ser
mon. From Deut. 4, 9 he took his
text, "Lest we forget." He paid
earnest tribute to the founders of
the nation and the bravery and de
votion to God and principle they
showed in the dark days of the Rev
olution. He told how Robert Mor
ris, the rich Phlladelphian, raised
?50,000 In one morning for George
Washington's suffering army, and
narrated other incidents of Revolu
tionary self sacrifice in this and oth
er states. He showed that, despite
the howl of pessimists, there is still
goodness and truth and morality in
the American people, and that they
will live up to their heritage.
The American flag was over the
pulpit nnd "America" was the closing
hymn.
"How to make a better country,"
was Rev. Will H. Killer's theme
morning and night. He urged his
morning congregation to make the
most of themselves mentally, mor
ally and physically, and In that way
to build up the nation as a whole.
In the evening he deplored the
growth of class spirit and urged
more democracy and broad-minded,
tolerant judgment of our fellows.
America" was sung at both ser
vices.
Rev. George S. Wendell did not
preach a Fourth of July sermon. In
the evening he spoke on "Lead,
Kindly Light" nnd paid a tribute to
the talent and Interesting personal
ity of Rev. Dr. John Henry Newninn,
the author, who was an Episcopal
rector but who died a Roman Catho
lic. Next Sunday, Mr. Wendell says,
he will not consider any hymn, but
later ho will take up others.

solicitation of Thomas W. Carey, the
Sullivan county banker and capital

"We got one," said Mr. O'Rourko
to a Honesdalo friend of long stand

Ho said the threo men would bo

Daseball fans witnessed two very
good games at Athletic park on the

young pitchers, went into the box
and, with the exception of the first,
when the visitors got three runs

Drought About Hy Sudden Change
From Wet To Hot, Dry Weather.
Says a dispatch from Hnrrisburg:
Scores of Inquiries have been re
ceived at tho department of agricul
ture tho past week from about half
the counties asking tho why nnd
wherefore of tho trees shedding their
leaves during June, as if tho month
were really October.
State Economic Zoologist H. A.
Surfnco says the cause Is apparently
the sudden chnngo from tho pro
longed rnlny spell to seaBonnblo sum
mer weather. Tho hot, dry spell
came so suddonly the trees could
not draw up moisture into the leaves
with sufficient rapidity, and this
causes tho leaves to fall. In very
few cases are Insects responsible.
"Tho remedy," said Surface, "is
simple. Break up tho ground under
the treo with a pick. Scatter fer
tilizer, like nitrato of BOdn, on tho
ground, carrying It somewhat be
yond tho spread of tho limbs. Use
from half a pound to four pounds
of soda, according to tho slzo of tho
tree. Then saturate tho ground
thoroughly with water."
Will Take Treatment for Cat Illto,
Edward Knapp, tho Dolawaro and
Hudson dispatcher who was bitten by
a cat a few days ago nt Carbondalo,
has left for Now York where ho will
take tho Pasteur treatment. Tho
wound was cauterized and dressed
quickly after tho attack, but in or
der to bo safe from inoculation of
venomous substances from tho anl
mal it was decided to take the pre
ventive treatment.
