HALL-F1TZ8IMMQN8. \ _ The Pugilists Getting Beady for Their Big Fight. VISITED AT THEIR QUARTERS' Bjr a Reporter, Who Takes Note* of ( Their Work in the Gytnaailnra. Their Hope* in the Fight?Both I Coniident?A Remarkable SimilarIf.V In f.hn Twn Mnn. ,, Cincinnati, 0., July 12.?The Commer* rial Qaztlie say a: Jim Hall it receiving tlie finishing touches to liU training, and will till the most sanguine hopes of his backers as to condition when be steps into the ring July 22 for his figltt with Fituimmons. Up in Beloit, where Hail is concluding his course under tho double surveillance of John Klein, his trainer, and Parson Davies, his backer, people hare taken a great fancy to tho young Australian, to whom they have given the name of VGentleman Jim," a complimentary this Hall seeinsdisposed to wear without abuse. Numerous excursionu to Beloit have been made recently by members of tho sporting fraternity who are interested in the coming contest. As a rule these trips prove to be failures so fur us satisfying any curi6sity in regard to Ilall by seeing him at his work. This pugilist is f JEALOUSLY GUARDED BY PARSON DAVIES, who docs not approve of allowing indiscriminate callers to inspect Hall's movements, or to discuss with him tho probablo outcome of tho fight. To the representative of the Commercial Gazrile, who recently Bpent the day in Beloit, every facility was afforded'for learning as to Hall's exact condition and daily routine of work. "You can judge best by staying right with him for a day," said the l'arson, "and even one day's training will do you good, and enable you to lace with more confidence tho man who wants to know 'what you put that thing in the paper for.1" After accepting the Parson's invitation to go through a day's training, I told the hotel clerk to have mo callcd at . - ? ,1 ?4 ,1...* .Ul? 1 li. hi., uuu at tuut uuuaiuiir iiuut iioau morning I reluctantly dressed and started for the temporary gymnasium that has been erected (or* Hall's use in the lower story of the Beloit Armory. Thero was no ono down to the armory when I got there, and after wundoring about for an hour I returned to the hotel and inquired as to tlio whereabouts of the pugilist. Very much to my surprise, I found they wore not in the habit of getting up until about 7 o'clock, as Parson Davies explained to me a little later on while trying to console me for the sacritlce of sleep I had made. "You see, me boy, this idea of getting up while the festive lark is yet snoring is something that has been handed - down from the dark ages, and is no longer considered the proper thing for an athlete to do." IK THE OYH. WITH HALL. At 8 we had breakfast, and after an hour spent in walking along Rock , ltirer, we adjourned to the gymnasium, and soon after the party, consisting of ; Parson Davies, John Kline, Hull, Billy , Woods, the Colorado aspirant for pugilistic honors: Charlie Kemmick, to : whom Ryan recently forfeited his claim to tho welter-weight championship, and a couple of others, started down tho railroad track, across tho Stato lino dividing Wisconsin and Illinois, to the training grounds, just over the border in the latter State. Tho ground that has been selected for this purpose is out of view of any farm houses in the neigh; borbood, a level oval, bounded on une sido by tho beautiful Rock River, on the ' other by a grove. On this open space a ' track, eight laps to the mile, has been i staked out, and as soon as wo arrived i Hall and Woods got into training cos- ] tumo and began to jog Blowly on the track. Aftor making forty circuits of tho track at a lively pace, covering I about five miles, Trainer Klino stopped ' them and began a scries of flfty-yard i races. Hall and Woods each ran this i / flfty-yard course seven times, and then ' - dressed and returned to the gymnasium. ' At the gymnasium tho usual processes 1 of shower baths and vigorous alcohol i rubbing were indulged tn, after which 1 the whole party went to dinner. After working Hall weighed 153}; his weight 1 auring me past len uavri ana j-angeu from 1524 to 153), and as this is below the weight nt which ho will onter the ring, there is no serious limitation as to whnt lie shall eat. It was after dinner that the rnoBt interesting part oi Hall's training began. Down in the gymndsium, after changing his street clothes for the ring costume, he began a vigorous punching of tho ball showed him to havo peculiar ability as a "two-handed fighter." His method of punching tho ball was free irom any of tho reluctance so common in men in training. He went at it as if he enjoyed it, and faced the ball us if it were a deadly enemy. Instead of seeming to listen for tho call of time, it was quite frequently the caso that Davies had to call tho second or third time bofore tho big Australian would iireak away for the rest between the rounds. 1IA1.L VERY HOPEFUL. j After talking with Hall as to his hopes and ambitions in this country, there is no room for doubt that everything gj possible that ho can do will bo done to make him the champion of this class, t not only of America but of tho world. IIow Ilall feels about this is best known by his own language: "You see there isn't much for a vounz fellow to do in Australia. When I looked about for some way ot making a living I lit on the trado of a plasterer. One day I conr' eluded that there was an easier way of making a living, and that I could turn my physical , development to better account than calciminlng Australian ceilings, and us there was u bit of feeling between fomo :f friends of local pugilists and friends of \> myself I got into one or two fights for money, and now that I have come to this country and am to Btart in against the man who has defeated Pemnsey; I think it is do or die with mo In the first contest. If I lose this fight it will end niv career as a pugilist in Auericavend V it "before it is fairly begun, and the ; hopos that I havo of making enough ; money over here to enable mo to send for my wifo and begin business in Chi:* cago will have vanished. You can bet your last sixpence that I will have to be 1 . verv badly whipped in this fight before -? I will consent to throwing up the sponge. and with'itall my hones for tho future." V "As to how it will end," continued Hall, as we sat under the shado of somo trees on the bank ot the river, after his { work for tho day was ovor, "of course I bcliove that I will win, but, mind you, I don't say that I can. I am going .y against a good man, one that you Amer ;/' icans thought to be a wonder when he ' so easily bcitod your champion middlei weight, Dempsey. Now, if I was to ?*v that I could win?win ?uro?you would ?. be very likely to think to yourself 'that I lellow Hall ii an awful blow,' and I would be. ThU ! no one-sided fight. It is anybody's battle, and I look for it to be one of the longest and hardest fights in the history of the ring. When it is all over I believe that those who see it will all agree that it was the best man who won, for the (gentlemen who .compose the club will see that each man and the public have have a square deal, and under such circumstances there can be no excuse for a growl from any one." IIA LI. A GOOD WOBCIIt. Parson Davies says of Hall that he is the most tractable man in trainihg that, he has ever seen, always good natured and scrupulously civil in his deportment, especially toward the casual acquaintances that he makes in profusion by reason of being prominently before the public. Davies is indignant at certain published insinuations that the light may not be absolutely square. "It lis ridiculous to mako an assertion of that kind," said he, "for this is to be the grentest light that has been seen since the one between .Sullivan and Kllrain. There is bad blood between the two men, and an intense desire on tho part nf nupti In irnt hnlfl nf thn $11 (100 tn ho Riven to the victor. It will be no pedestrian match, and the man who wins will know that he has been in a tight." John Kline, who is training Hall, has never trained a loser, the nearest he has come to a defeat being a draw. Mitchell, Burke, McAulitfe, Bradbarn, and the wrestlers, Lewis and Carkeek, have all trained at Bcloit under tho hands of John Kline, and under his direction Hall will bo in a proper condition July 22 to muke what he intends shall bo tlie light of his life. MASK cablegram to urs. hall. As tho time drew near for the arrival of the train for Chicago, Hall said: "I would liko for you to do ine a favor if it is not too much to ask of yon. You will be at the fight, and will be sitting in tho press box. Well, I wish you would write out a cablegram for mo liko this: '.Mrs. James Hall, Melbourne: 'I won in round. Jim." "Then you can just fill in the number of tho round and get it Btarted right quick. With tho difference in tinio my wife should be able to know all about the result before bed time." "I hone you will not havo to change your cablegram." "Woll, if I do," said Hall, as ho waved a good-bye, "you can bo sure that tho change was only made after a desperate struggle to prevent it." As tho train rolled away from the depot a littlo baby girl took possession of the big pugilist, and,-hand in hand, tliev strolled away ovor tho river and through the quiet streets of Bcloit. FITZSI5LMONS IN TRAINING. Account of a Reporti*r*? Trip to White ' Hear I.nkr. Cincinnati, July 12.?The CommercialGautle prints the following: Fitzsimmons has boon fortunate in securing ono of tho most delightful spots in the Northwest for his training quarters. White Bear Lake, where lie is being prepared for the fight, is about ten miles north of St. Paul, and the summer home of manr of the wealthiest residents of the Saintly City, llis training quarters are located in Rumalley's pavilion, a big structure combining a cafo and concert hall, with broad verandas and every convenience that is nccesBary for the uses to which Fitzsimmons has put the portion of the building that ho occupies. One of the many pretty cottages that make up the village of White Bear is occupied by Fitzsiminons, and anothertoy his traineo, Jimmy Carroll. Each is accompanied by his wife, and Fitzsiminons also has a child, who romps over the shores of the lako in company with a St. Bernard puppy, his inseparable companion, recently presented to him by an admirer of his father. TtlE IIARD WORK OVKB. Fitzsimnions adopts the ordinarycourse of training, and like Hall, having lono all the heavy road work that is necessary, he is finishing oil' by sprinting apd punching the bag or putting on the gloves with local devotees of boxing. He has but littlo trouble to find people who will put on the gloves with turn, [or the local boxers are all unxious to try oue who has the reputation of being so clever. One day last week Fit/, had cisht men in his impromptu audience wnon he began to punch the bag who were anxious to put 011 the gloved with him, and he accommodated the entire Dctette bfleeting them one after the ether in three-minute rounds, in which none of the amateurs succeeded in touching him. This punching of the bag and contests with the amateurs is usually concluded before evening trains arrive from St. Paul bringing homo the business men who live 111 White Beur during the summer months. After supper Fitzsimmons and his trainer, Carroll, with their wives, take a small boat and row out on the lake the observed of all observers. Indeed, so curious are the people, regardless of sex, it this summer resort, auout the movements of the pugilist, that it 1ms become a subject for violent discussion us to whether it is proper for ladies to go down to the pavilion to see the Australian spar and go through other forms of oxercise. FEMININE CURIOSITY. The general opinion among the feminine residents of White Hear seems to be that prior to the coming; of the evening trains from St. l'aul bringing home their hUBbaiid, fathers and brothers, it is perfectly proper to go down to the pavilion, ana lrom a seat shaded from the gaze of the public watch the movements of the atnleies?movements that aro not prevented from buing graceful by any surplusage of clothing. After the gentlemen oi tho family liave returned it is an entirely dilferontly matter, and no properly self-respecting woman of White Bear will walk within a block of tho then empty pavilion gymnasium. FITZSIMMONS CONFIDENT. Fitzsimmons has any amount of confidence, und (eels sure that ho can wipe out a number of old scores against his countryman, as well as add the big purse to hia already comfortable bank account. Fitzsimmons still asserts ihat his previous meeting with Hall was not decided on its merits, and says with referonco to their respective movements since their first meeting, that llall has been defeated twico, once by Owen Sullivan and once by Billy McCarthy, while ho has not met defeat, but on the other hand, haa won three battles. II1S CONDITION. Fitisimraons weighs abont 154 and eats an enormous amount of beef, averaging about four pounds each day. Never before in America have two men trained for a contest at weights so easy for thein to roach, and it would be hard to find two mon of such similar physical formation as Hall and FlUsiinmons. It is the general opinion of men accustomed to arranging such affairs that the Minnesota Athletic Club did well in refusing tho offer made them of $20,000 for the receipts, aa it is believed that no less than threo thousand people will be present, and as the price of seats ranges from ten dollars to twenty dollars it will be seen that the fight, Irom a financial point of view, is likely to be a great success. PEFFER'S PALAVER The Text for Somo Forcible Remarks in Opposition BY ABLE MRS. MARY fl. LflTHROP At tho MoundaTlIle Prohibition A# onibljr?Eloquent Sermons Yesterday on Ood In tho Government and tho Gate* of Hell. Alliance day at tho Moumisville camp grounds on Saturday wan a big day, thousands of fartnors having gone to town to hear the apostle of the farmers, U. S. Senator l'effer. Tho Senator arrived at X p. m., and was escorted to his hotel. At'2:30 the Senator went to the big hall, and there spoke to about 3,000 people. In tho opening of his speech ho jumped on Congressman Porkins, who, in an interview telegraphed from Washington, said that tho Farmers' Alliance was a worse curse to Kansas than the drouth and. tho grasshopper plague. According to tho Senator, Sir. Perkins's story was untrue, and Perkins himself unworthy of belief. Mr. Puffer then proceeded to dilate on tho fact that most of the public officials of to-day were not furinerd, and that they seenie'd to think they were above critcism. Hu told how tho furmcre were now behind all other Industrial classes, and woro get ting mrtncr oemna every uay. xno farmers, lie H;iiil, noro eaten up by debt. Of the l),000,000 mortgages now on property in this country, Mr. 1'cffer claimed two-thirds were mortgages on farmers' lands, lie also claimod that farm lands had depreciated in value from twenty-five to fifty per cent. The Senator showed how. at tlio end of the war, the people had plenty of money, becaso they made it, and said they would soon have lots of money again, even if tlioy had to mako it. FROniDITION SECONDARY. The speaker told how the preaching of the new gospel had caused the reversing of tlio old order of political things in Kansas; that in three or four months 100,000 votos had been changed. The same gospel being preached in I Woof Vttwnin h? linnAfl ft. wntllil WOfk a similar change for tho Eetter hero. "We oppose," concluded he, "tho worst power in Christendom, the money power, and as soon as 1 finish my work toward the overthrow of this fatlicr of infamies, I will turn in and help you prohibitionists." The Senator's speech occupied ono hour and forty-fivo minutes, and was but slightly cheered. A reception on the stage followed, and hundreds of the sons of toil wero introduced to their loader. Saturday evening there was the usuai singing by tho fcilvor Lake Quartette, followed by an address by Mrs. Mar)- T. Lathrop. The largo crowd in attendance during the day had inspired tho prohibitionists with a renewed interest and earnestness in the evening. While most of the farmers did not stay for the night meeting, yet a fairly large audience grootcd Mrs. Lathrop. Heriuldresses last year highly recommended her, and many came over from town to hear her again. She spoke on prohibition and AKKAIOSED SENATOR PEFFKR nt dillerent times miring nor auuress, much to tlio delight of the prohibitionists; ami at several points the did it nicely and with elfect. l'lio .Senator had said that the money power was tlio great rod dragon, Ih'o power behind the throne, and responsible for all tlio wrongs and woes of the country to-day. Mrs. Lathrop said she did not agreo with liiin there. It is the whisky power. Mr. 'l'efler had tried to explain why the People's party did not put a prohibition plank in its platform; but his explanation did not explain to the satisfaction of the prohibitionists, and here ivrain Jlrs. Lathrop caught him hard. In a joint ditcnasion the Senator would bo more than slightly disfigured at the hands of this able woman. Sunday morning a general experience meeting was held, which cnntyiucd until 11 o'clock. In tlio two hours devoted to experience telling, many related how they had been converted to tho prohibition faith. At the afternoon meeting Rev..Mr. Meade read a request from somo of the disappointed cues asking that another such meeting be held, and aniiouucod that one would be held just before tho evening service. Uev. \V. II. Boole, I'.D., of New York, preached the morning sormon, commencing at 11 o'clock. His text was taken from 2 Cor. 11th verse: "Kor if that which is dono away was glorious, much nioro that which romnineth is glorious." This was said to be one of the most powerful sermons ever preached in tlio hall. Rev. Mr. Boole's reseinblanco to Henry Ward Beocher is ? -I.-.i .i i. i.~ 1 \ L* 1 V IIIU1 ItUU, IJIWU^U lie 13 UUl so large. At 2:30 o'clock Mrs. Mary F. Ijithrop again spoke to about 1,500 people. Shu said she would take a text, without promising to stay very close to it She selected the 1st verse of xvi. Samuel: "And the I-ord said unto Samuel, How loii|! wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing that I have rejected him from reigning over Israel?" The leading thought to bo gathered from her discourse was THE POWIH Or GOD IN GOVERNMENTS, and the total absence of any recognition of Him ia ourgovernment.wUU thoconscquent responsibility and accountability. She ?aid: Thoro have been in the history of tho world, as wctraco it, three forma of government. In the first God \v!\b the one who saved the peoplo. Ho himself was the power in the government. He took the peoplo in hand; God's revealed will was law; lie had tho final investment of power, and nobody seemed to question it. God was king. During the time God was on the throne the strength of the people did not tire, they did not falter, and their foes did not overcome them. By and by when tho people had corao into their own land that hail been promised them, they asked God for a king. And there came the second investment of governmental power. Ho gave them Saul. At first Ho was a good king; hnt ho had not been more than a year in that royal place heforo ho ofTended God, mid from that timo tho kingdom of Saul began to decay. The third great change in government was when men began to chooso their own rulers. We hare dethroned God from tho American government long ago, and some little while ago a storm went op from this government I am not bero to say that we are not tho greatest nation, but I do say that we nave coma to be the moat God lens neo. plo that God's sun shines upon. Thero was a time in tho early history of the government when wo wero not a (rodless people. Tho Puritans wero saturated with their devout and simple faith. Our forefathers settled horo to found a Christian government, llatyoa. may search to-day through all onr constitutions and you will not And any recognition of God. This ie one reason ?hy 1 said that we have eomo to bo the most Godless people that God's sun shines upon. ACTING FOB OOD. The man that uses a ballot exercises a prerogative of God, for ho is doing the work that God used to do. Think of Christian men saying: "My political acts are one thing and tny christian acts unother thin& Don't carry religion into politic*. Don't let us have a union of politics anil religion." Now, what is a union of church and state? It is where the government organizes the church, controls its pulpit and rules its faith. Wo want God in the government to-day?not as an established church, as in England, liow can God bo carried into tho government without the conaent of the peoplo. Thero is no other way to croirn God in' this government except by tho choice of tho christian citizenship. Notice that we can't have God in this government unless wo have a majority. From the beginning of time there lias been a reality in the presence of God in government. Lying back of the divine right of tho king is tho thought of God in government. We put chaplains in the army and navy to remind us of Christ, but wo stand to-day practically without any thought of the old idea of our fathers, of God in the government. If human government docs not lean up against the bulwarks of God, where (loes cue rigm 01 government cumu trvui. God takes ilia part, tho final part, with retribution. Tho last power that ho taken is tho power of retribution. Wo may vote ourselves away from his law, but can never get away from his retribution. To-day this Nation of ours is troubled to its very center because wo have done the thing which we know to be wrong by choice. She related a con- : vernation with a certain gentleman, in which ho had said that whatever the lEepublicans would do with the liquor question would be satisfactory to him; that ho would never cast a vote, that would, directly or indirectly, defeat tho party which saved the government. God's final part in government ivhon men won't have righteousness, is RETRIBUTION. Tho hottest contest over this question is not at the polls, it is in thojconscienco of the people. God is talking, to the souls of men; ho is trying to save this government by righteousness. Again, when God comes to retribution He always changes the power, just as with thesoul. And whcnGod rejects a 'eigning power, no man can save it. T.ie announcement that the assembly would be held in the assembly hall at , Monndsvillc next year, was greeted with rounds of applause. Mr. Meade suid that it required considerable of u struggle to couio to this conclusion. And it will bq interesting to the public to know that tho decision, which nung trembling in the balance, was turned by a woman, a poor woman, who approached -Mr. Meade Sunday* morning and said to him: ".Mr. Meade, I hope this building will not be taken away, as is talked of. I : am but a poor woman, I have worked I hard to get the one' dollar with which 1 to buy a season ticket, but I have been greatly blessed by these meetings." "Here*," said she, "is a quarter: and tell Mr. Bodley if I were able, I would ; bear the expense of these -meetings half and halt with hipi." Mr. Meade said that Mr. Bodlev would keep that quarter; that it was tlio "widow's mite." lie v. .Mr. Boole preached another fmwerful sermon at night. Ho took or hid text, xvii Matthew, lGth verse, , "the oates or hell." The electric light went out while Mr. Boole was preaching. He preached on though, in the (lark. Shortly some- ; body got two gasoline lamps and put them near the stand. About 2,000 wore present at tho night meeting to hear Sir. Boole. His was another powerful sermon. He uses no notes whatever, and was but little discommoded by tho darkness. 'i'o-day is tho Inst day of tho season ' at the Assembly Ilall. ^he mooting will closo to-night. Rev. Sir'. Boole will give his "snake show" : to-night. 0 , Itnrily Squeezed, As tho 4 o'clock motor was pulling out on tho Elm Grove road yesterday, William Hare, a carpenter living in the Sixth ward, got between the last car and a dinkey motor that was helping lit) tho grade, and was so crushed about tho abdomen that ho had to be hauled j home.
