T'3abk ' [ Talvey's Work Was Not as Bright as

WAS A TOY IN TOMMY RYAN'S ' HANDS
Jpcksou ami Corbott lloth l.enry Mlmmer

1 llano Hall Vennnnt Wheel CJos-
* . sip anil Miscellaneous Notes.
"With all his vaunted prowess and science.
as the coming great lightweight , the ProvU
denco boy , Jack Kalvey , made but a sad showIng -
Ing against Tommy Ryan at Hartford several
nights since. The go was to have been
ten rounds , but Ryan had been.
worked up to an ugly pitch by the talk of
Falvcy's friends about his being as good as
Toin , even at lightweight , and that he would
not only Htay the prescribed tlme.ibut In the
b'chdi' so far as points went , would'certalnlyj
' *
k
have the best of It. And It wasn't ; only' the
local admirers of the Rhode Island man who
thought he might prove a dangerous experi
ment for Tommy , for several of the best
critics In Gotham and the Hub predicted
that Ryan would have his hands full In dis
posing of him , all of which goes to show that
as yet the eastern pluggers of the game have
failed to recognize Just how good the Chicago ,
welterweight is. t'alvcy was a mere toy In
Ryan's hands. Ho was knocked under the
ropes in the first round , all over the platform
In the second , and out In the third. Tommy
wholly disregarded his well known waiting
tactics , and the crowd saw that there was
blood In his eye the moment he entered the
ring. As soon as the gong sounded Ryan
was after the man , who was expected to
don the mantle of Jack Dempsey , and his
wonderful IteotncHS of foot and cleverness
Etood. , hlm In poor stead. If Tommy couldn't
get a punch at his face ho gave It to htm hi
- the back of the head ; In fuel he let It go
just so U landed on some portloi
of Jack's anatomy. After It was all over
4 qYeryb.l'y ' Knew Just how It would be , and
Fnlvty WAS berated for going out of his clusa ,
'especially ' against such a hard man as Ilyan ,
' ! Tue' tame old fairy tale.
1 . Wh'llo talking of Ryan It might not bo
blliUa to say that ho has set all his friends
' { a thinking. out this way by his action In
'refusing tonight. Mysterious Billy Smith be.
fo'rq the Now Orleans Olympic club. Ills ex-
CHS.o Js tfror 'tho purse $2,000 Is not lurgq
biia'iTgh , wblcK at best Is a very poor one.
WJillo Tqmp > y Is no belles-lot ters , and
* couldn't conjugate a keg of nulls to save
Ills' foul ; , l\o' \ ' { endowed with a fair amount
jit & > od hprpo. sense , and Just why ho should
"Ualliihat \ ! ,009 Is not enough for him to
" 'ftlfeht anybody ls"som8thlng exceedingly dim-
' 'dill ) to .futliom. As long as Ryan asserts
1 that Smith Is a moral for him , u great big
i > ) iddltiR sluITcdylth raisins , he should go
after him t , any prlco , let alone 2,000
Vj-wu UR ) cases' . Tommy has been about a
It , And hoUM certainly know that ho will
never live long enough to be ottered another
' purse like \ho Molasses city people hung up
fftr him und Dawson. That was In the hoy-
--ilay of modern puglllim , when money was
hung up Ilku 10 much mud. But It Is differ
ent nqw. U 'U a l > llt of the revenue at the
'Kale , or A tew hundred almolcons that the
toys get n chance at now or nothing , and
" tljty ire > ! & bh'cfc who make hay whllo the
'un ihlneii. In my oplno ROOO Is plenty ol
money for Itran and Smith , In fact , plenty
for § h ' ( Mro n hters on the turf , with the
iKiilt)4 ) ticiipllon of Champion .Jim and the
Iferculei from the \Vcst Indies. Of
( hey are worth any kind of money
' ' ulnil f ( hut been lallnfactorlly demonitratei ]
which U Die lK' l man. After that liaa been
U.OQO would be enough for
* e ttttr qr Hi cm U U to be hoped that Hyan
vitl it tut tt to hU n e , and accept the
ccotrout offer , HU former tnls
fortunes In , New % Orleans should alone be
sulQclont Inducement for him to go down
there and _ make a Hght against any good
man at any price. Tommy should remem
ber that there are a whole lot of people who
have never taken oven a fair amount of
stock In his tonsllltls or sprained ankle , and
It should be his ambition to convince these
people that everything' was honest nnd
straight with him In- those little affairs with
Danny Nccdham and George Dawson.
Billy Smith , by the way , is nt present In
Peorla , III. , and during the recent sojourn of
the Rourke family In that lovely burg , Tom
MoVIHIe had a talk with him. Ho said he
was more than anxious to got against Ryan
again , and promised if such a privilege was
over granted him , , he would send Tommy to
the hospital. He also said Ihcsc western
ducks who think he Isn't a long tighter are
out of their heads. He says from daylight
to dark Isn't any too long 'for him when
he's focllng good , and Just now he couldn't
be better. Ho was hog fat and sick , too ,
when ho.met Hyan In Boston , and should
have Insisted on a postponement. In re
flecting over Billy's declarations , though , It
would bo well to remember that he Is oven
cleverer with his Jaw than he Is with his
dukes , which Is saying a good. deal. The
amount of wind 'that escapes from the orifice
under Billy's proboscis per mlnuto Isrsum -
cicnt to rtln' a good sized mill an hour.
While he.Is.undoubtedly a good fighter with
his maWcs , , lie Is always dead game with
hla mouth.
It now looks as if the principals In the
great heavyweight-match Corbett and'Jabk-
son are themselves leary of their coming
meet. The air Is ch.rgc-1 with rumors abut
a withdrawal of the stakes , and about the
next thing wo 'hear ' will be that this has
been done. So1 far as I am concerned , I
think thU procedure will be highly gratify
ing to Jimmy and Pctle. Of course there
Is no club In the country with the power to
pull oft tlib match , and all the pulling that
remains td be done Is to pull down the
money both were'so prompt'to post.
Petle Is , np\v ( recuperating at Joe navies'
place over , tbo bay from Frisco , and In n
talk with an Examiner reporter the other
day he said ;
"My moncy-ias. | been upifor some tlmo , and
there It will stay until Corbett acknowledges
that he does not want , to meet me. 1 am
very anxious to. have the affair come offj
and I don't ' think Corbett hat acted na
properly as he should have done In this mat
ter. If he ; had ndhqrud , to his original
agreement , with , niewo would both bo train
ing now. with the match only'a few weeks
off. I have no idea where the meeting will
be , and lij\VO \ no particular choice so long
as we get , together -once mpnr. I have no
doubt that Jim.will coma to time eventually ,
but I iln.ipot , ljo | this dflay.'t - <
That sounds fair. But It ls Idle talk.
Petle hnows'as well as he knows he's ullvo
that he stands' nd more uuow of mcutlng
Corbott In the irlng this year than ho docs !
to bo madeitlie mayor of Oakland , In
speaking of Jackson's appearance the Ex
aminer man says that the recent reports
that Peter Is. not the man he was when hemet
met Jim the. first tlmo. are all stuff. He
claims that he not only looks bigger and
stronger than ever , but Is bigger and
stronger , and that he Is yet as formida
ble a man as < there U In the ring today.
Jackson himself 'eays that ho feels better
than ho has- since his first arrival In this
country. He-tips the , scales walking around
today at 218' ' pounds- and seems to have
taken on nothing but good , solid flojh , and
can hardly enter the ring again at a less
weight than 2.00 pqunds ,
As hinted at In these columns a week
ago , the match between Qcorgu Dlxon and
Young Qrlffo has been declared off. and the
fault was none of Dlxon's , The Antl-
podlan's backers came to the conclusion
at the rate he wa , traveling that It would
be Impossible for him to get down to 120
by the 18th of June , and they made a clean
back-down. Dlxon offered concession * In
thp way of weight If Qrlfro would .content
to contest for the entire gate receipts , b'ut
Qrlffo would listen to nothing but an
even whack and-a dra v , aria In disgust the
champion very properly washed his handi
ot the whole affair ,
nut there U a chance for a reran yet.
Ully | I'llmnisr , the little English bantam ,
hat consented to take Orlffo'ji place on the
date mentioned , and bet J5.000 on the lo > ,
providing Dlxon will get down to 11C ,
weigh In at the ring side. While' '
I say there Is still a chance for a go ,
It Is but a slight one , ' fcr It is doubtful
whether Dlxon will accept the welghlng-ln
clause. They will split upon this point ,
as they-havo repeatedly In the past'that Is , ,
the probabilities point thatway. . "While
Dixon has all the best of his dealings With
Orlffo , the same cannot be said of his ne
gotiations with Pllmmer , nnd until ho sees
proper to waive all demands and consents
to meet the doughty little Johnny Bull at
his own terms the red hots will never cease
to believe that at the bantam standard Pllm
mer Is the master , and Dlxon knows' It. '

For qulto a prolonged period now the
shooters must content themselves with birds
made of asphaltum and clay , nnd extract
comfort and excitement out of the 'competi
tive trials at the trap , as this Is the season
of rest for all kinds , of feathered game. The
duck nnd goose are now busy with their du
ties of nldlflcatlon within the swampy do
main of Boffins'bay and the far north , the
snipe are with their young and the quail
are nesting : To be sure there may be some
little sport extracted from "the pursuit of tbe
nimble squirrel , but so sparse' Is the" timber
hereabouts that but few will go to the trouble
and squander the tlino It requires to roach'a
locality where the fox aftd the gray most do
congregate. The first birds In will be the
upland plover , cholco morsel that he Is , and
this will not bo until the' golden rod has
been In fullest bloom , say somewhere long
about the middle of July , when the' return
trip south Is begun by both young and old
from their breeding grounds but a littleto
the north of us. They are one. of the great
est of all our game birds , and from their ar
rival until the last ot August afford most
magnificent eport. Just now the sportsman
must rest content with his club shoots , or
turn hand and mind on the delights of rod
and line. The fishing this spring on all the
waters In this section of the country has
been exceptionally fine , and there has been
more sorties against the finny tribe , than In
any one season for years. Parties are almost
of dally occurrence , and many of them go
hundreds of miles to satisfy their penchant
for angling. Lake Washington In Minnesota
seta has been a favorite resorf-for Omaha
fishermen and I have yet to hearof a single
excursion that has not been a most-gratify
ing success. Hundreds ot splendid black'
baas , wall-eyed pike and pickerel have gracei ]
the tables of Oato City epicures during the
past month ns fruits ot the angler's labors
on this plcturesquo lake , 'and the sport , there
has not yet reached its zenith. . June- will ba
a great month' for the bass , and It Is safe to
say ot all the snores of anglers who have air
ready made this trip they amount to nothing
compared with"the numbers that are yet to
make the Journey.
C. P. Heed and Frank Cnnnlcheal put In
a day nt Honey Creek this week nnd made
a fine catch , nearly 200 nsh , brfss , croppies
and ring perch. Ilocd claims 'he has struck
hla forte and that ho Intends , sometime ; to
retire from the loan business nniMlsh regu
larly for the market. It might lie well for
C. F. to form a partnership with our old
friend Fred Lamb of Sidney , la. ; and do n
little muskr.it trapping on tha side. '
George A. Hoaglnnd U at his private lake
In northern Minnesota nnd all those , who
haven't placed their orders will do well to
get them In early. As an angler Hoagland
could give old Izaak Walton , could tie. but
come back , cards and spades and ( a marked
deck 'and catch whales to his minnows.
Henry Stoltenberg , ono of the bent field
shots In the eastern section of this state ,
was over to Honey Creek one day this week
and got a fine pair of mallards , which Is
nothing to his credit by a long shot. He says
he saw a good many teal and September wll |
furnish some great shooting , that Is It mid
summer shooters give them a chance , Ilka
he did his mallards.
U C , Patterson , one of our skilled me.
chanlcs with rod and reel , returned a few
days ago from a week's fish In northern
Iowa. He met with but poor success on ac
count of the cold weather. The fishermen
had all knocked off until more balmy winds
arrived and he couldn't buy a bculo for lov
"Vhat the Interstate Flshlne club Is al

by the following letter :

The .Western association pennant chase
Is surely- proving a beautiful one , closer and
more exciting than that ot any league In
the country. ' The teams are very evenly
matched.as Is attested bythe fact that but
- the leaders' from the
flve 'gamesseparate '
team In tho. fifth hole , and , a week's play
may reverse- the whole combination. Qulncy
and Des ilolnes seem to bo thcvonly teams
that are trailing , and this Is'accounted for
by the fact 'that they .were the last to or-
ganlzo and had the benefit of but the most
meager , preliminary practice. . Just now
Hock Island , St. Joseph , Omaha , Lincoln ,
Jacksonville and Peorla are yoked for first
place- with Rock Island having a nose the
best of-It. ' There are but four > garnet be
tween the. leaders and the team In the
sixth hole , .and n week's p'ay Is apt to change
the whole standing. All the teams are
playing good ball , and the patrons of the
game are being furnished with aa good an
article as Is being put up by any minor or
ganization In the country.
At the present time the home team are
outbattlng any aggregation In the circuit ,
and while their fielding is not what , might
be called gilt-edged , It Is sufficiently strong
to win two games out of every three they
play , which lick , If continued , will land the
pennant. The Omahat arc a hard working- ,
conscientious team of ball playere , and de
serve every encouragement at the hands ot
the public. Thopaik Is kept In the nicest
condition , and Is 'today the most attractive
ball park this city has ever had.

A CHARMED LIFE.
Minister Stuart HUH Hint Many Ilulr-
bruudth KttciipcB. .
A tall , slender man , , with Iron gray beard
and , hair -and .piercing- eyes which roved
around under , a pair of heavy gray eye
brows , sauntered through the Arlington lob
by - , says tho. Washington Star.
"That Is Granvlllo Stuart of Montana ,
the" new minister to Uruguay and Para
guay , " said an old timer on one of tha set
tees. "Ho Is oh his way to his new post ,
and this Is the first tlmo lie has beun east of
the Mississippi for a quarter of a century.
He. has had more startling adventures and
hairbreadth 'escapes ' than almost any man
you ever iheard of. I remember one of them
well. Stuart was one of the first pioneers
In the territory ot Montana , and was quartz
crazy llko the rest of them lie was on a
prospecting trip once and had dismounted
from his horse , leaving his rifle strapped
to the saddle , when the animal ran away.
"It was .late in the year , and that night
snow began falling. Ho was miles away
from nny habitation , In the heart of the
mountains' , and | n searching for his horse
he lost his bearings. Ho had only a small
pocket knife , . -and his fusoo only contained
twp or tlrpp ( flromakers. The first night he
was out It crew very cold and ho made o
fire , which attracted fiomu small birds.
Stuart caught about a dozen of them and
cooked them. For ten days ho wandered
through tha mountains , with nothing else
to cat but those llttlo birds. One day an
oik rubbed against a tree within two yards
of him , but he had nothing to kill It with.
Then a frog -crossed his path , but ho wan
not strong enough to catch up with It. When
he wan nearly dead two Indians found him
and took- him Into their camp to have fun
-with Jilm.
' 'They fed him. up , so an tp get strong
enough to run while they could beat him
with 'tepee poles. One night ho eacapcd ,
stole A horse and got away. Ho got lost
In the mountains again , and , doggoned It
his second horse didn't get uway from him !
He wandered around again for three or
four days , and then , when he had given up
completely and lain down to die , uomo of
the party -who had gone out to hunt him
up came across him and carried him to
camp. U Is devoutly believed In Montana
that nothing fun kill Granvllle Stuart. He
was a mighty hunter In those days , too.
He has the record of killing sixteen elk
from ono spot , without getting up. He Is
a man ot powerful mind , and will uphold
the stars and stripes and all that they mean
In his new poiltlon. "

Painters and Decorators union No. 109 of
Omaha has heretofore passed 'through some
troublesome times , but the- union seems to
have moro trouble on hand how 'to get work
for Its members than ever before ,
Several years ago , after this union was
organized'It grew rapidly , and ranked.among
the strongest labor organizations In the city ,
In those days the members had no trouble
In securing plenty of work at fair wages.
About three years ago this union 'divided
upon tho. nationality lines , and the men or
ganized themselves Into two unions , , which
of course was directly against ttho teachings
of unionism In general and also the head of
the organization. This warfare was kept
up for nearly' a year , when
It finally dawned upon the members
that they were all Betting the
worst of It , and the employers were reg
ularly reducing their wages. The consequence
was that a Joint committee was appointed
to consider together and recommend a plan
for the future workings of the trade In this
city. The Joint committee hold a meeting
ono Sunday afternoon In the Ancient Order
of United Workmen hall , and after a thor
ough consideration of the- alleged differences
between the two unions the meinbcrs of the
committee came to the conclusion that there
were no differences. The report of this com
mittee recommended' that ono of- the union
numbers bodropped , and that all. the
painters and decorators In the city bo unite. !
In ono stronff Union. The report was hailed
with Joy by both unions , and after further
consideration It was decided 'to stand by
the old number , 10 ! ) , Which the present
union carries.
From that tlmo everything went on
serenely with this' ' union until
the present industrial depression struck the
cruntry , which IB sorely fclU by the painters
and decorators generally. During the lat
ter months of 189S the local members found
work very scarce , which' condition kept up
through the winter. With the-opening of
spring the members of 109 were again pretty
generally put to work , and the 'members ' felt
that the depression was over * lth them at
least and started In with the hope of mak *
Ins a good year's wages.- However , since
the work of spring house cleaning and repairing -
pairing has been done the members find
themselves again with scarcely anything to
do In their trade. During the pant two
weeks over twenty-five'of the members have
been let out by their employers , , because they
could get no work for them toido _ , and the
Important question that now- confronts No.
109 which has passed through no many
hardships , U how to iccurd work for Its
members. _ _

The members of Brewery- Workers .union
No. 92 and Oambrinus assembly No. J34G ,
Knights of Labor , have made complete ar
rangements for a grand picnic to be given
nt Ruser's park on Sunday , June 17. The
members of this trade have been enabled 'to
stand the Industrial depression ns well , It
not better , than any other trade In the city ,
nnd now they propose to give a grand plcnlo
that all can take part In. The committed
on arrangements has secured the servloes of
Secretary W. S. Sebrlng of the Contra ! Labor
union to assist In getting out posters and
making all necessary arrangements for an
enjoyable time. Posters ore to be printed
In red , white and blue , and the committee
promises that they will bo "stunners1- ! that

ECONOMIES' OF PAVED STREETS.
The Loss on Triilllu Over Had Itoailtray *
Would I'ny for ravine.
. Many people can only bo Induced to Incur
largo expense for street paving by well-
founded prospect * , of gain from It , writes
William Fortune In Paving and .Municipal
Engineering for June. They regard It as
they would an Investment. Though It Is no
legs desirable when viewed Indipandentlyot
tlieso very practical considerations , It may
well bo subjected to such tests of value. Its
paying qualities are , to some extent , capabla
of demonstration , Its economies may be In
dicated by comparisons ot the cost of trans
portation , of relative wear and consequential
loss , and of maintenance of paved and tin-
paved streets. While there are wide differ
ences In the resistance to traction of asphalt ,
wood block , brick and granite blork road
surfaces , the average , where the streets of a
city are paved in about equal proportion with
these materials. Is less than one-third the
average resistance on the streets of a city-
having only macadam , cobble stone , earth and
sand road-surfaces in about equal proper
tion. As one horse can , therefore , draw for
ten hours three times as heavy a load on
directs of the first class as on those .of the
second class , there must be an average sav
ing of two-thirds In the cost of all trans
portation by means of animals and vehlcea |
where paved streets are used. In other
words , the city with well payed streets will
get at the same cost three times as , much
service as ono with streets that are not well
paved.
The possible gain from this In dollarfl''and
cents Is Indicated by the statistic * of freight
transportation. In the year 1890 the rail
ways of the United States moved 701,844437 ; '
tons ot freight , which was probably hauled - Mover
over roads or streets at the point of loading ; * *
and unloading the cars an W'tr''iio distance
