BOSTON, Mass., May 18.—There was a | sensation in the Senate to-dsy when Sena- tor Quinn loudly denounced Grover Cleve- land and proposed jail as the proper place for nm. A number of Senators jumped to their feet in amazement at this out- break, and there was a scene of confusion in a moment, but Quinn kept the floor and proceeded in violent language to argue on the question at issue. The trouble came over a bill to prohibit the employment of other than citizens of Massachusetts on public works, which was ordered to a third reading, with amendments offered providing that citi- zens of the United States shall have pref- erence in employment on public Works.

When the subject of the removal of | headquarters from Cedar Rapids to either | Chicago orCleveland came up,it wasshown | that the advocates of removal had not ths | strength they counted on, even the dele- gates who wore the Cleveland badges | going back on the proposition. The dele- gates who had hoped to procure the re- movsi were greatly surprised. On the tkird and final reading of amend- ments to the by-laws all were adopted and | the convention ad journed for two years. | The long-delayea Pennsylvania special | arrived this evening after the convention | adjourned. The passengers will remain | hereabounts until Thursday.

L0OS ANGELES, CAL., May 18.—Local | Democrats and Silver Republicans are | having a pretty row over the question of ownership of W. J. Bryan, who will be bere on July 5. The Silver Republicans | claim that he belongs more to them and | they propose to appropriate him bodily | on his arrival, give for him a banquet of 3000 plates and in other ways shower at- tentions upcn their chief. " The old-line Den:ocrats do not want it that way. They claim that Bryan belongs to them and his effulgence is for them alone. They have started a movement to raise a large sum of money, pay Bryan for his lecture, hire the fiesta tribunes for him and give every- body a chance to hear or see him free. The rivalry between the Democrats and the Free Silver Republicans is so warm now that it may cause a serious fracture in their heretofore close relationship.

His Many Financial Troubles Supplemented by Nervous Prostration and Loco- motor Ataxia. CHICAGO, IiL, May 18.—Ex-Governor Altgeld has spent the last six days in the seclusion of the Sacred Heart Sanitarinm, Milwauke, in a serious nervous condition. The sanitarium authorities say that the ex-Governor did not take the regular Kneipp treatment; all he did was to walk barefooted in the wet grass during the early morning hours and take a few baths daily. Every effort was mads to keep his sojourn quiet, as he had decided to have perfect rest. The ex-Governor and wife returned to Chicago last evening. -Altgeld retired im- mediately and no formal announcement of his condition was made, though the at- tendants st the hotel said he wasill. It is generally known among his friends that Altgeld has beon suffering from mervous prostration and locomotor ataxia. There is little doubt that the ex-Gov- ernor is worried greatly over Spalding's defalcation. Aside from his financial troubles, which are many, ex-Governor Altgeld found himself entangled in the Dreyer embezzlement to the extent that he had secured the appointment of Dreyer as treasurer of the West rark Board and had borrowed money of him. ettt COULDNT STAND THE FROWNS. 80 Foolish Old J. 0.

He Was Woundcd in Battle When Fifteen Years Old, Mustered Out at Sixteen.’ William C. Shute properly salutes the flag and steps to the front, asserting that be is the youngest soldier of the Union army in the Civit War now residing on the Pacific Coast. He quotes the record of George E. Bayless, who was born on August 11, 1849, and enlisted February 26, 1864, as a member of Company B, Thir- teenth Ohio Cavalry, and was discharged at the close of the war, just before he was 16 years old. In comparison with Bay- less’ record Mr. Shute presents his own in this language: 1, William C. Shute, Company A, Four- teenth Maine Volunteers, First Brigade, Sec- ond Division, Nineteenth Army Corps, born in Prospect, 'Waido County, Maine, August 29, 1849; left school in Bangor, Me., went to Augusta and enlisted in the Frurteenth Maine Volunteers January 14, 1864; was mustered outof ihe United States service Augusy 28, 1865, one day before 1 was 16 years of age. | was ‘wounded at Winchesier September 19, 1864, under Sheriaan, Our brigade made the ivst long march from Sayannah to Augusts, Ga., and my company (A) took charge of Jeff Davis and wife, Alex Stephens and oth- ers and took them 1o Fortress Mouroe on the steamer William P.

Mr. George E. Bayless says he does not claim the title of being the youngest soldier, butuntl snother infanule patriot pops up with gmple proof he will claim the distinction of being the youngest soldier an the Pacific Coast and in 8an Franciscoin particular. Well, this infantile now pops up with ample th icle in the paper—the Satur- hicago, May 1—is correct, Mr. Bayless is eighteen days-older than I and joined the army one month and twelve days iater and was discharged eighteen days before 1was mustered out. Now let the infantiles pop away and if any can go oue better I will say no more.

Leonard Was in Very Poor Condition, but Lasted the Limi A Big Crowd Saw the Olympic Ciub Entertainment—Lawler Beat R:illy. Fifteen hundred ringsters crowded into Woodward’s Pavilion to see the boxing entertainment of the Olympic Club last evening and sweltered through three more or less interesting bouts. Two of the six participants were in no- ticeably oad condition, Mike Leonard be- ing so fat that the hard fight with Joe Gans trained him down at least five pounds during the twenty rounds. Henry Baker, the Chicago heavy-weight, who was scheduled to go twenty rounds with Jeffries, the Los Angeles giant, had rolls of fat hanging over his belt as he sat in his corner, and he had bellows to mend before the fight kad Leen in progress fif- teen minutes. It is this matter of allowing pugilists to enter the ring in bad condition that puts boxing in bad repute. ' Every little while some pugilist is killed as a result of un- dertraining, and then a cry goes up against the brutality of the sport. Both Leonard and Baker looked as though they bad trained on steam beer, and their actions in the ring bore out the supposition that they had. It was rumored before the gong sounded for the first bout that the Leorard-Gans battle was off, because the-former could not weigh in at the limit of 133 pounds, but both appeared, and it was announced that Leonard was ill and had refused to weigh iGn and had forfeited his $100 deposit to ans. The colored lad was willing to fight at any weight, and the referee announced that the fight would go on, but that all bets were off. Jim Reilly and Jim Lawler, two willing 10cal lads, who weighed in at 123 pounds each, put up a hard-hitting battle of ten rounds, Lawler's straight left leags and generally clever work winning him the | decision of Referee Phil Wand. | Gans in his twenty-round go with | Leonard took a strong lead from the | start and chased the fat dude of the ring persistently. Leonard got weak after a | few rounds and danced about and clinched to avoid punishment.. Oceca- sionally he would back up against the ropes and, using them =3 a spring against his back, lunge at Gans as the Balti- morean came at him, but he inflicted no punishment after the tenth round. Gans apparently did not like Leonard’s style, for he kept away whenever the Beau Brummel of tne pugilistic fraternity made a stacd against the ropes. His cau- tious leads and occasional scoring won him the decision, though it was apparent he was almost as weak as his opponent when the gong sounded in the final. Gans was a disappoiniment to those Who shw him knock Cbarley Rochette out several months ago. Much interest was manifested when the heavy-weights made their appearance. Henry Bake-. the fat boy of Chicago, came first. He looked like a New York Alderman; layers of fat hung over his waistband. Jeffries was trained to a turn. He looked a .magnificent specimen of the athlete. In fact, his opponent, when they stood face to face, appeared as if he had been put into the ring to fill up a gap. Baker scaled 175 pounds and Jeffries tipped the beam at 201 pounds, which is nine pounds lower than he has ever fought. Bal 1ookea like a pigmy along- side of the California champion. Baker proved right away that he was a clever man on his feet. After considera- ble fiddling Baker shot out his left, which landed lightly on ‘‘Jeff’s” mouth. The latter returned the compliment and then missed Baker's face with a right swing which, had ‘it landed, would have done damag Jefiries went bang against the ropes. Considerable clinching was indulged in and as the round closed Baker landed a left and right on Jeffries’ mouth. In the second round Jeffries caught a bard right-hand punch in the left eye which left its imprini. Jeffries ducked cleverly from several swings and in the clinches which followed he was hissed by the gallery because he struck - at Baker when both men had one hand free, which was perfectly properand according torule, In the third round Jeffries played for Baker’s- stomach, but the Chicago man backed away and danced around the ring with the big fellow in hot pursait. Both men landed, but the blows were not very effective. In the fourth round Jeffries sent Baker under the ropes with a body blow, but near the end of the round Baker landed a Lard right on Jeffries’ mouth, Adter this round, and until the ninth round, Jeffries scored a strong lead. In the eighth Jeffries knocked Baker dowan with alett on the jaw and then ham- mered him all over tbe ring, but failed to a knockout. Baker went down In the ninth round Baker received a leithand smash on the jaw that sent him sprawling over the ropes, and ‘“Spider’ Kelly, his second, threw up the sponge. THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE Active Rehear: s of the Grand Chorus The grand chorus which wi in the celebration of the Queen’s jubilee at the Chutes on June 21 has already be- gun active rehearsals. The day’s programme will consist of Irish, Bcottish, Welsh and songs, whick promise to be very attractive. Professor Jobn W. McKenzie is very enthusiastic_over the work the choristers are doing. He says the chorus already exceeds over a hundred voices and wouid stand as many more.

The committee on membership of the San Francisco Farmers’ Club held & meeting yes- terday, at which the interests and objects of the alub were discussed in s gemeral way. Much interest is being manifested by the pub- licin the club, and 1t is expected that tners will be & large sttendance at_the next general meeting, 1o be held at the Mecharics’ Insii- tute, 31 Post strzet, on the evening of June”. At this meeting there will be addresses upon subjectsof mterest to the public. The ad- dresses of all persons interested in the various branches of iarming, horticulture, etc., are desired by Victor L. 0'Brien, 402 Montgomery street, the secretary of the club. i g Religlous Service for Lepers. The lepers at the Pesthouse have been retly genes y neglected by religious work- 2rs For one thing, there afa few whitos among the patients, and the Chineso are very indifferent to all religious matters, and for an- other, religions workers ate afraid to face the leprosy. Yesterdsy General F. L. von Lindman of the American Gospel Army, visited the Pesthouse with a view to seeing what could be done by his orgenization to better the condition of the unfortunates.

HIS OWN DOGTOR You will meet 2 man every now and again who is his own doctor. He will buy shoes from shoemakers, meat from butchers and soap from chandlers, but he must be his own doctor. He tinkers with himself, uses every kind of tea or herb he can find. . This being yourown doctor is all very good for the motherly woman of a big family, whose experience, actual contact—is great— but the ordinary man can no more be his own doctor than can a goat read Latin, or a mule study Greek. A man who finds he Is suffering from a nervous disorder or who discovers that he is suf- fering from FAILING MANHOOD Should go about seeking relief the same as he would any other requisite he may require. He should go to the 7 place that shows the greatest amount of absolute proof of its ability. If you will call to the doctors of Hudson Medical Institute you can read for vourself files and files and files of testimonials from living men; from men who have been cured of se- cret disorderss of lost man- hood and like diseases. The doctors always use Hudyan remedy-treatment as a basis or as a foundation for the cure, and never guarantes anything of which they are not absolutely sure of keep- ing. Hudyan is a remark- able treatment in cases where dissipation - or abuse has .wrecked the young life of the patient.; Hudyan does not cure everything, It is a remeédy for men and only for men.
