Fire Dettroys Property Valued at Forty Thou- | sand Dollars in the Arizona Town. | JEROMBE, Ariz., Dec. 25.—Fire de- | strayed the business section of Jerome last night. It started in the lodging- hiouse kept by Japanese Charley, and it was impossible to fight the flames, the best that could be done g to protect ‘adjoinirg property. A defective lamp, which a woman attempted to throw out of a window, was the cause of the con- flagraton. The total loss was $40,000; .insurance $7500. A three-story - brick building on the corner 1s all that saved the entire town from destruction. The men of the United Verde Copper Com- | pany gave great help, and were Instru- | mental in protecting property. The following were the individual| losses: Jennie Banters, lodging-house, $3000, insurance $900; Charley Shaw, loss $4000, insurance $2500; W. M. J. Roberts, saloon, lodging-house and res- taurant, loss $8000, insurance $2000; Alexander Cordiner, John Valdini, | Hooker & McFarland, all saloons, no | insurance; Joseph Tamborino, lodging- | house and saloon, Joss $12,000, insurance $4000; George Emmet, barber-shop, | Elder Bottling Works and St. Elmo restaurant, loss $8000, no insurance. i dgiianrd Fasadena’s New Year's Fete. | [ | PASADENA, Dec. 25.—All Pasadena | is interested in the fete of the year—| the ‘Rose Tournament—which will be held as uepal on January 1 and prom- ises to be a success. The indications are that more people from all over |Southern California than ever before {will be in attendance, and great prep- jwrattons are being made for their en- {tertainment. The parade will be of ‘unusual length and the prizes awarded more valuable than those given here- tofore Everything augurs a grand success If the weather—which now is extremely cold—moderates. There- is some apprehension felt that flowers will be scarce, but if warmer weather follows there will be a sufficlent quan- | tity for a gorgeous display. ——— Lost His Craft in a Storm. SAN DIEGO, Dec. 25.—Skipper Wil- liam Gerull has lost his little schooner Minna. He arrived to-day on the steamer Alexander Duncan, and re- purtgd that & week ago the Minna capsized in a squall. Gerull and his cook ed themselves by swimming to San Clemente Island. There they were cared for by sheepherders for several ays, until they were taken to San Pedro on the Banning Bros.' launch Paloma and thence to this city on the Duncan. The Minna was a tub-shaped craft of about 20 tons. - Whitman Is Still Alive. WALLACE (Idaho), Dec. —There Were no new developments in the Can- yon Creek outrage to-d: Foreman ‘Whitney, the victim, is still alive. Sher- iff Heney went up the canyon to-day, but made no arrests. The Gem Min ers’ Unlon is charged with complicity in the outrage, but its officers declare I | that the crime was perpetrated to cast discredit on the union. Public indig- nation runs high and all classes are de- manding the punishment of the guilty men. —_— Characterized as Nonsense. OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 25.—When shown the item published in the Lon- don Morning Post yesterday under a New York date to the effect that the Canadian_Government, at the request of Great Britain, had ordered the con- n of itious publics : cott, Secretary of State terized the story as utter nonsense. “Canada,” he added, “has all the in- dependence that is needed by a na- tion, its connection with great Britain aiding to strengthen that independ- ence.” i e Injured by a Fall. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 25.—A laborer named Frank Farley, while assisting in putting some hay into a barn to-day, fell from a ladder and fractured his left hip bone. THE PIGMIES OF AFRICA. Harper's Round Table. Four years ago Dr. Stuhlmann, one of the mostscientific of Africanexplor- ers, brought back to Germany two dwarf young women, about 17 and 20 vears old. They had been captured by Arab slave raiders in the great forests northwest of Victoria Nyanza. A man about 25 years old and four feet six inches in height, who was captured with them, was in Dr. Stuhlmann's care for several months, but died on the coast just before he was to go to Europe. He was so very shy that he was never seen to look & white man in the face, and though he would talk a little Ki-Suaheli, the language of the Zanzibar natives, he was never heard to speak a word of his own language. The girls were taken back to Africa in a few months, as it was feared they would not survive a German winter. In all the time they were with Dr. Stuhl- mann he was abletogetfrom themonly sixteen words of their language. Per- haps this is not very surprising. It was enough to make persons of a very low type of culture shy and suspicious to be shut up for hours at a time with inquisitive savants, who were contin- ually looking at and questioning and measuring them, turning them this way and that, and photographing them; and though the little women were well cared for and much done to amuse them theycouldnot get overthe idea that the whites had some sinister purpose. They feared they would be poisoned and never touched any dish before their Italian servant had first tasted it. They were carried around from one scientific society to another all over Germany and Belgium, and it is safe to say that in their private opinion anthropology was a great bore and they were glad to get back to Africa. —_———— MILE RECORDS. Tit-Bits. A mile in 34 seconds, which up to re- cently was the record for locomotive speed, has just been beaten, the per- for ice now having been achieved in conds. This remarkable feat was performed by a locomotive draw- ing three carriages on an American railw | the mile. The engine was fitted with what are | termed “speeding trucks,” which are practically a gearing process without cogs applied to the engine, the in- ventor's idea being that great speed in this way can be obtained. Under each pair of the engine’s driving- wheels are placed a pair of speeding trucks. These speeding trucks are two in number, and each bears five pairs of wheels. First there are three track wheels which run on the rail. Each wheel has two diameters. ‘The larger, which is 24 inches, runs on the rail, and the | small diameter supports the larger di- ameter of the upper pair of wheels. The smaller diameter of the upper | wheels comes inside, and upon | this rests the big driving-wheel. This | is the secret of the speed. The wheels | are so arranged that every time the driver turns around once the train goes twice as far as it would If the driver rested on the rail, as in loco- motives now in use. It is interesting to note the time that has elapsed to cover a mile by other means. of locomotion. The steam yacht Turbina once covered the distance in 1 minute 31 seconds. Salvator, the great racehorse, has a mile.record of 1 minute 35% seconds, while J. Platt Bett’s bicycle mile is 1 minute 35 2-5 seconds. covered a mile in the Atlantic in 2 minutes 20 seconds. W. G. George, a runner of some note, once ran a mile in 4 minutes 12 seconds, and George Bubear, the great sculler, rowed that distance in 4 minutes 45 seconds. —_—ee———— BUDDHIST NUNS FROM ENG- LAND. A young English lady who has re- cently arrived in Bengal has decided to become 2 Yogl or Hindoo nun. She has already donned the ochre robes and has chalked out a programme of work to be carried on in India, the main object of which is the spiritual regeneration of Hindooism, which is much below par at present. She will establish a “convent’™ at Calcutta. It is likely that she will be joined by an- other English young ‘lady, at present in London and who will come out early in December. The lady, who has al- ready been converted to Vedantism, is a graduate of Cambridge, and while in London was one of the leaders of the woman suffrage movement.—Bom- bay Advocate of India. e Suicides in the Thames.

Over Two Miles in the Rear| When a Bad Spill Ends the Race. | Fails to Make the Little Welshman | Extend Himeelf at Any Time. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—"Jimmy” Michael of Wales, the recognized middle-distance bicycle champion of this country, met Arthur Chase, the middle-distance champion of England, to-night at Madison-square Garden in a thirty-mile race over a ten-lap board track, and won so easily, despite a bad spill, that the bicycle experts are guessing just how good the little “Rarebit” is. Pluck, endurance, stam- ina and every other quality that goes to establish the possession of grit seem | to be embodied in every inch of the ‘Welshman. Nothing seems to tire him. The building was thronged to its ut- most capacity when Michael, the mid- | get, and Chase, the leviathan, jumped onto their respective wheels for a few preliminary spins around the track, which measured a foot over the neces- sary distance, to make it ten laps to At the turns the board track was “banked” as high as ten feet from the level of the boarded floor of the garden. - It was announced that the winner would get 25 per cent of the gross re- ceipts and the loser’s end would be 15 per cent. The managers of the show guaranteed that the winner would get $1500 and the loser $1000, but judging from the crowded condition of the house, the amount of money which the cracks got was far in excess of the| guarantee. Both got on their marks at 10:15 and before they mounted their respective wheels they shook hands. It was announced that in case either | man fell during the first four laps the riders would be recalled, and this pre- caution took effect in the first lap. Chase got tangled up with his leaders after the race was started at 10:16 o'clock, and at the end of the lap the men were ordered back to the scratch mark. Chase won the toss and took the pole. He started out at a rapid galit, but the little Welshman soon overtook him and at the end of the second mile was over a lap ahead. Michael gained another lap in the fourth mile, and the spectators cheered the “little wonder” vociferously. Michael was simply invincible, and at the finish of the fifth mile he gained another lap on his countryman. Both men picked up their tandems very cleverly. Michael kept up a heart-breaking pace, and at the finish of the seventh mile was five laps to the good. At the finish of the eleventh mile Michael spurted and gained another lap, which put him six laps ahead. In the fourteenth mile two of Michael's pacers went over the bank, | but were not serfously injured. In the | next mile, on the fourth lap, Michael | ran high up on the Madison avenue turn and both men fell in a heap, their pacers also taking a ‘cropper.” Michael remounted his wheel and got another lap to the good before Chase recovered himself. At the end of the sixteenth mile Michael was thirteen | laps ahead. In the twenty-sixth mile Chase fell heavily at the Fourth avenue and was unable to go on with the race. He ran into two tandem teams and was badly cut up. In the smashup Chase's bicycle was broken. He borrowed Tay- | lor’s wheel, but had to leave the track. Had Chase been able to cen- tinue, however, he probbably would have been beaten by about two miles, as Michael was almost that distance | ahead of him when the accldent oc- | curred and was rapidly gaining. The summary follows: 5 | i will | they pleased. W. Sands, chief consul of the Mary- land division were also present. The managers of the race, P. T. Powers, William Brady and James Kennedy, were examined, as were also Charles Ashinger, who constructed the track, the officidls of the garden and a number of riders and trainers. The meeting was held behind closed doors, and at its conclusion Chairman Mott made the following statement: “We cannot make public the testi- mony until a decision has been ren- dered. All the testimony taken to- day will be mailed to the different members of the Racing Board. After they have reviewed it carefully they will write their decision 4nd the pun- ishment merited, if they find that there | was anything wrong, and send it to When all this has been done, I immediately send out the final verdict.” Chairman Mott admitted, however, that there had been little, if any, con- flicting testimony. In reference to Ashinger's examination, he said that Ashinger had made a statement, but the nature of this statement he refused to divulge. me. . COAST FOOTBALL. Lively Game of Football With the Los An- geles Eleven. SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 25.—The athletic event of this season occurred here to-day, when the hitherto uncon- quered Los Angeles football team, re- enforced by two acknowledged profes- sionals, met the equally successful San Bernardino team. In the first haif of the game neither side scored, nor even carried the ball anywhere near the goal. So aggressive was the playing that several minor casualties occurred, the injured players being retired. In the second half, with only one minute to spare, the home team made goal and won the'game by a score of 6 to 0. SAN JOSE, Dec. 25.—A football team, made up partly of members of the second eleven of the University of the Pacific, met a team from West San Jose on the Cyclers’ Park grounds to- | day. The game was a slaughter, as the students jostled the firemen around as It was like playing nine- pins, and the students won by the ap- palling score of 80 to 0.

Pennsylvania University Will Not Send a Track Team Across. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 25.—The statement made at Milwaukee by A. C. Kraenzlein, the fast hurdler, that the University of Pennsylvania track team would visit England next summer to compete in dual games with Cam- bridge University, is denied by Frank B. Ellis, chairman of the University of Pennsylvania track committee, Mr. Ellis say! “Either Kraenzlein has been mis- quoted or his imagination has run away with him. There has been abso- lutely no correspondence between Pennsylvania and Cambridge in the matter. At the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletio Association in New York the last Saturday in Febru- ary a motion will be made to open ne- gotiations with Oxford and Cambridge to have a team composed of the first and second men in the intercollegiate championships meet the pick of the two big English universities. The team | which will go to London if this scheme is carried through successfully will be a representative one of the American colleges and in no sense a Pennsyl- vania team.” Sl PR T ATHLETE COSGROVE DYING. All-Round American Champion a Victim of Appendicitis. NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—At Albany John Cosgrove, the athlete, is dying of appendicitis in a hospital. won the all-around athletic champion- ship of America in 1895 and finished second to Clark of Boston in this year's competition. Cosgrove’s work has al- ways been considered of the highest order, and in all-around work on the athletic field and track he has few su- periors. Sprinting, jumping, hurdling and distance running found in him a| master who had all the fine points dewn to a nicety. In this year’s events the champion of 1895 encountered such high class performers as Clark, who | won honors in Athens, and Dole of the University of California, and this, | combined with the fact that he had just recovered from a severe illness, prevented his showing his best form. g Racing in the Mud. 11in mud.

THAT COMMON TROUBLE ACID DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR STOMACH. Disease. Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heartburn or sour stomach, is a form of indigestion resulting from fermen- tation of the food. The stomach being food remains until a bitter, sour, burning taste in the { mouth is often present. This condition soon becomes chronic and being an every day occurrence is given but lit- tle attention. Because dyspepsja is not immediately fatal, many people do nothing for the trouble. ‘Within a recent period a remedy has been discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is known as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and is now becoming rapidly used and | prescribed as a radical cure for every form of dyspepsia. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have been placed before the public and are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package. It is prepared by the Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., and while it promptly and effectually re- stores a vigorous digestion, at the same time is perfectly harmless and will not injure the most delicate stom- ach, but on the contrary by giving perfect digestion strengthens the stomach, improves the appetite and makes life worth living.
