There is no doubt that McCoy's physique has undergone wonderful improvement. So | far as strength and welght is concerned he is a better man to-day than ever. In former battles McCoy has been reluctant to make a knock-out prediction for him- | self, but for s fight with Maher he states that he will surely knock the Irishman out inside the limit of twenty- five rounds. McCoy has selected as his place during the battle the southwest corner. It is the same that Sharkey occupied in his fight with Jeflries. Maher will have the north- east corner, in which Jeffries rested in | his. fights with F] and Sharkey.

DEATH CAME VERY SUDDENLY PHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENON IN AN AGED WOMAN. gt Her Heart Measured Fourteen Inches in Circumference and the Walls Were Over an Inch in Thickness. . S SRR Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Dec. 31 An autopsy heid this afternoon on the remains of Mrs. Eliza T. Reeves, who died very suddenly at her home, 837 Jack- son street, shortly after midnight last night, revealed an enlargement of the | heart that is a physlological phenomenon. Mrs. Reeves, who i3 the wife of Thomas Reeves, the well-known gardener, had just passed her sixty-second year and ner health in the past had been what might be called perfect. She had been | married forty years and reared four chil- | dren, two of whom are married, and on the occasion of Christmas at the family reunion she appeared in the best of health and spirits, At midnight she complained of a pain in her chest. Dr. Andrew Fine was promptly summoned, but before the phy- | sician could arrive she passed away. Cor- oner Mehrmann was notified to-day and an inquest will be held next Tuesday. Notwithstanding the husband's objec- tions, an autopsy was held this after- noon by Dr. Fine, when it was found that death was caused by enlargement of the heart. - This- propelier of life force, however, proved to be the largest ever seen by Dr. Fine in his many years' ex- | perience as an autopsy physician. Though | in her prime, Mrs. Reeves had tipped the iscales at 200 pounds, she was not a large woman at the time of her death. Her | heart weighed about nineteen ounces, | whereas ‘the normal heart of an adult welghs between eight and ten ounces. | | | | Mrs. Reeves' heart measured eleven and | one-half inches in circumference and fourteen inches in the other measure- ment. The walls of her heart were over an_inch in thickness. ““The heart is the largest that I ever seen,” said Dr. Fine to-night, I guess it is the largest any one has ever seen in a human body. It is marvelous that Mrs. Reeves lived as long as she did without complaint as to that organ. Aside from the unusual size, the only de- fects I found were in some of the valves and it is probable that the valvular de fects were the cause of the enlargement.” Mrs. Reeves was a native of England, aged 62 years, and had long resided in this cit; She was a member of the local lodge of the order of Daughters of St. George. The funeral will take place next Tuesday- afternoon from the late resi- dence zad the Interment will be in Moun- tain View Cemetery. —_——— | Remembered Leader Clark. | OAKLAND, Dec. 31.—The retirement of Ben Clark, the well known tenor, from the leadership of the First Presbyterian Church choir took effect to-day. mark of the esteem in which he was held | by his friends in the choir, and perha; also In view of the coincident of his birt! the retired choir leader has been | pr large, beautiful oil | painting of a battle scene. enter upon their duties at the opening of | the next school term. —_————— Death of Cheeseman’s Father.

The plan to promote General Shafter, at present a retired brigadier of the re ular army as well as a major general « volunteers, to be a major general of regu- lars, comes from the President and the Secretary of War. The rank wiil be given by Congress by the of a bill framed by the Secretary of War, but it will carry no active duty with it. Shafter has already passed the age limit and was retired as a regular officer last October, so all Congress can do is to place him on the retired list as a major general instead of a beigadier. Phere are those well sed in_ army lore, however, who say such a thing as an officer holding two commissions of the same rank, one in the regular army and | one In_the 'volunteers, is not rding to military precedent. - The reg ons_are silent on the matter, and if it be out of or- der at all it Is because of some ruling of the War Department Should it be found to be a military im- possibllity. to confer the dual rank up seneral Shafter, it is probabie he will r sign his volunteer commission at once, for to be a major general upon the retired list for the remainder of a man's life is better than to be a major general of voi- unteers with at most no worse than eight- een months’ service ahead. The theory of the position, according to those who say the - two corgmissions cannot exist, is this: An officer may leave the regular army to become a volur officer only when such transfer i a pr motion as well. If he be not promoted h services are considered of more use in the regular establishment than in the volun- teers, if he be not raised in rank there can be no reason for his transfer. Like the question of precedence between Dewey and Miles, the matter of two ma- jor generals’ commissions must be settied by Washington.
