tive and they report having realized a
handsome sum last night.
Father Fuhrwerk. pasjor of St.

door out al Klar's butcher shop and
broke down a sign broke two- win-
dows in a dressmaker's house and did
much other damage. This occurred
during the tempotary extinction of

Ezra Kendall.
• At the Grand Opera house tomorrow
night only.
"Jap Miller" the poem from which
Ezra Kendall's new play "The V inegar
Buyer" was taken owns a little store
in Brooklyn Indiana. One of his
townspeople went to Jap and asked
1.1 in to save ten dollars for him. Jap
took the money and in less than an
hour everyone in the village knew it.
The next day tour or five men ap-
peared With small sums of money and
asked Jap to save it for thelh. Joe
acquiesced but was soon in -he pos-
session of about 9120. and it began to
worry him. He took the money from 1
his cash drawer and hid it under the
mattress of his bed at home. He had
no safe. Jap began to feci a nespon
sibility and remarked a number of
times abou* the honor bestowed upon
him.
"I tell y' 1 appreciated It when y’
made me mayor of Brooklyn but
when y’ elected me banker 1 got to
know what real responsibility wus"
he said. One afternoon on e of Jap's
banking customers came in and asked
if he could draw a couple of dollars.
"No." answered Jap.
“It's funny I can’t have *he money
when It belongs to me” declared the
exasperated customer.
"J kin loan y’ a couple of dollars uv
my own but y’ kaint have your mon-
ey" insisted Jap.
•’WpIL what’s the difference my
money dr your money ’"
"Kain': let y' have your money be-
cause kaint y’ see it’s after 4 o'clock."
“A Friend of the Family.”
Judging by the interest being dis'
played in the farcical comedy "A
Friend of the Family” which comes to
the- Grand Saturday and Sunday nights
and Sunday matinee it will be the
comedy event of the season. The
story of the play deals with the en-
deavors'' of an American importer of
Japanese silks to shield a former love
affair with a beautiful young ladj
while in Japan from his intensely jeal-
ous and romantic wife. Several rela-
tions and friends of the family are in-
troduced and eventually get so mixed
up in affairs that the interested part)
himself cannot tell “a relative of the
family” f:pm "A Friend of the Fam
il.v" George W. Barnum as the
sporty silk importer. Bartley Swift
and Miss Lavinia Shannon as the
heroine 'rt his first love affair are th<
principal fun pioducers and they ar<
surrounded by an exceptionally large
and clever company of entertainers.
The dialogue and situations are sain
•to be excruciatingly funny and ar.
greatly accentuated when presented
by such artists. The scenes being
chiefly laid in Japan give ample scope
for some quaint and beautiful stage
settings and Manager Gorman has em
braced every opportunity of embel
lishing the surroundings.

KID M’COY MADE A MONKEY OF
HIM IN TWO ROUNDS.
The Holland Giant Champion Was
Beaten Silly in Leas Than Three
Minutes—Covered With Blood From
Neck to Waist—Polios Interfered.
( .. '.-..'jU
Philadelphia. I’a. Ain 11 o.—What
I happened to Herr Placke the much
heralded Holland giant and champion
ting tighter at the Lenox club last
| night was a plenty. Though rix inch-
I eg taller and weighing ever 70
pounds more than his pale-faced oppo-
nent he was beaten almost insensible
in less than four minutes. He landed
In glove on McCoy only when the men
I clinched and the cool calculating Me-
I Coy darted in and out and around liis
I burly opponent almost like lightning.
He would feint with his right and
I then drive his leR to the face vicious-
I ly scarcely ever failing to bring the
blood. Before the first round ended
Placke was covt:'d with blood from
his neck to his waist and both eyes
were almost closed.
Just before the gong sounded an-
jnonncing the close of the round
McCoy drove a vicious left to the chin
dropping Placke like a log. The gong
saved him from being knocked out.
He was carried to his corner only to
be knocked out ten seconds after the
opening of the second round by a
soaker on the nose. Af er this blow
the Hollander placed his left hand
[over the damaged organ and dropped
to his knees. Blood was running from
him in a stream. As he knelt the
police appeared at the ringside and
stopped the bout.
In the first round Placke led with
his left but fell short. McCoy Inaded
a right on the jaw and repeated it
I with a right. McCoy sent Placke
I down with a straight left on the chin
and the latter took the count of eight.
McCoy landed another left on the
mouth drawing blood. McCoy drove
a ha:id MBR to Placke’s nose and the
latter was all but out. A left and
right to the face made Placko look
like a piece of raw beef. He was
hanging on to avoid punishment. Mc-
Coy dived in with a right and then
with a* hard lef to Ihe mouth. Placke
was blinded. A vicious left dropped
!the Hollander but the gong saved
him. McCoy had not lieen touched.
Placke’s condition was miserable. Hu
was bleeding from the mouth and
nose.
Round 2: McCoy drove a vicious
right to Placke’s mouth and the Ist er
.dropped to his knees and refused to
get up. Placke’s face was a horrible
sight. His night eye was closed com-
pletely and his lips were puffed up to
four times their normal size. As he
knelt upon the floor the police walked
io the ringside and stopped the bout.
The second round lasting less than 20
seconds.
GOOD FIGHT AT FRISCO.
Mike Schreck and Billy Woods Go 25
' Rounds to a Draw.
Sun Francisco April 6.- —Billy
Woods of Lee Angeles and Mike
Schreck of Chicago fought twenty-
five rounds to a draw ai Colma.
Tae fight was a good one and it was
evident from tire start that the two
middleweights were so evenly
matched that it would go the limit.
Schreck showed himself to be a very
clever boxer and played all the time
for a knockout blow. Woods making
vicious swings but failing to land.
Schreck in the meantime scored re-
peatedly with his left to the face but
his blows lacked force and did little
damage.
