Jim Jeffries Doing Fairly Well
, As an Actor.
Speaks Lines Too Fast In "Man
From the West."
HARDLY A STAR, AS YET
Ills Ambition to Get Another
Match With Fitz.
Displays Bitterness In His Re
marks About Corbett.
ClncinnaU, Oct. 23. "Macon" writes
to the Knquirer from New Tork as fol
lows: Mr. James J. Jeffries, "the champion
of the world," made his dramatic debut
in Greater New York at the Gaiety the
ater, Brooklyn, last Monday. I was
present. I didn't expect much from him
as an actor, and I took my seat in a very
lenient frame of mind. I had determin
ed to be to his dramatic faults very blind
and to his virtues (if he had any) very
kind. I was very agreeably disappoint
ed. The plav, "The Man From the West,"
is of the "written-to-order" kind, and its
author has literally helped himself from
other people's works. principally "M'liss"
and "The Great Ruby."
The part he provides for Mr. Jeffries
is that of Silent Sam, the Sheriff of Sev
en Forks, Montana. The title of the
character would indicate that the sheriff
was a man of few words. He is not un
duly garrulous, but he is by no means
tongued-tled. At a rough guess I should
say his part is about six "lengths" (a
length is 42 lines) long, and though he
has no very long speeches those he has
are delivered, as Polonius says, with
"good accent arid good discretion."
His chief fault is a tendency to speak
too rapidly. He is aware of this fact and
intends doing his best to correct it. I
had a talk with him behind the scenes
during the performance, when he said:
"I talk very rapidly in ordinary conver
sation, and I came near spoiling the cli
max of the first act tonight by speak
ing too quickly. I find when I talk slow
er my part goes better with the audi
ence." But it is not Jeffries, the actor, that
the American public cares so much
about as it is Jeffries, the world's cham
pion. When I spoke to him of Tom
Sharkey's challenge and aked him if he
would take cognizance of it his face
curled up contemptuously as he replied:
"No, I don't think I will. I have licked
him twice. "Why should I light him
again? The man I am after particular
ly is Boh Fitzsimmons."
"But Fitzsimmons says he has retired
from the ring," I suggested.
"Oh, he will fight again," prophesied
the ex-boiler maker. "He retired once
before, you remember; told how he had
sworn to his wife that he would never
fight again. The public would never
have him as a theatrical star, and it
won't have him now. As soon as he sat
isfies himself of this fact I think he will
be willing enough to fight again. He
is going around from barroom to bar
room boasting and bragging about how
easily he can whip me. I want to see
him undertake it. I gave him a licking
once that he didn't forget for a year. I
would just like to get another chance
at him. and if I do I will give him a
thumping that he will never forget to
the day of his death."
"You must be feeling pretty good," I
suggested.
"Xever felt better in my life," he re
sponded. "How is your lame arm?" I asked.
"I haven't got any lame arm," he re
sponded. "The arm that was lame is
all right now. If I get a chance to
tackle Fitz he will swear to it after I am
through with him. If he won't fight me
I think Gus Ruhlin is entitled to the
next chance, don't you?
"If Sharkey will agree to fight me.win
ner take all, I would be willing to tack
le him again after my theatrical engage
ments are over, but he won't do it, and
I am not going to give him one-half the
profits so that he may benefit financially
at my expense. As for Jim Corbett,
(there the champion's face grew hard
and bitter) I don't want to have any
thing to do with him, because, he is not
on the level."
Here a sporting reporter of one of the
New York papers spoke up and said:
"Corbett wants to have a talk with
you, Jim. I was with him most of the
afternoon. He wants to have a private
conversation with you. and he thinks
that if he does you and he can come to
terms."
This proposition fairly started Jef
fries boiling.
"He can't have any private conversa
tion or conference with me," he retorted.
"If he wants to see me he has got to
see me in public, and the more people
present the better I will like it. I will
have no secret meetings or conferences
with him. I am a square fighter. I nev
ed went into a ring in my life except to
do my level best. I don't want any pri
vate conferences with Mr. Corbett. I
think he has done more to injure boxing
than any man that ever was in the ring
in America. He calls himself "Gentle
man Jim.' He spat in Fitzsimmons" face
in Philadelphia. That was gentleman
ly, wasn't it? Then look at his ring per
formances in New York.
"There is one thing you can tell the
public, and that is I am a long ways
from being out of the fistic game, and
that I will fight, to defend my title, any
man in the world, but it must be on th3
basis of winner take all. and I will mak
a side bet of $10,000 or $20,000 that I will
win.
"The only exception I will make to
this is in favor of Fitzsimmons. I will
consent if it is any inducement to him
that he shall have 35 per cent of the re
ceipts even if he loses. He made me
give him two-thirds of the house, win or
lose, when I was matched against him.
I had no say in naming the referee or
anything else. I had to accede to all his
terms, and then I licked him good and
plenty."

MAKER AND RUHLIN"
Unable to Find a Place to Pull Off
Their Match
New York, Oct. 23. Peter Maher and
Gus Ruhlin are matched, but their man
agers, Pete Lowry and Billy Madden, are
having trouble in getting a club which
can pull off the bout to offer a satisfac
tory purse.
Peter and Gus put up one of the great
est fights ever seen in New York city at
the defunct Lenox club, and there is every
reason for believing that if they come to
gether again their meeting will b2 one of
the most interesting to witness of any
known for years.
There is a pre-election dullness prevail
ing at present, but in a few weeks the
country will be "saved." business will be
resumed with all its old-time vigor, and
then, perhaps, these men may get a purae
offered for their contention.
In the meantime Madden has given Tom
Sharkey a back-hand slap by declaring
that he is unworthy of Ruhlin's atten
tion. I hardly blame Madden for this. He
has a match with Maher on hand now,
and the chances for one with Jeffries,
and he would be foolish to waste time on
Sharkey, who is now almost generally
looked upn as a, second-rate "has berx. '
FITZ WHIPS HIS AUTO.
Fighter Has a Hard Time in Doing
the Vanderbilt Speed Act.
New York, Oct. 23. Bob Fitzsimmons
has had so many heartstrings snapped
recently by the death of bull pups, pheas
ants, lions and other pets that he has
taken to the inatimate. He bought an
automobile, and yesterday the pugilist and
machine had a set-to that the former, at
least, will never forget.
Fitz is not given to emulating the smart
set, but the speed exhibitions given by the
Vanderbilts, B; stwicks and others struck
him as real sport, so he started out to
split the wind along the outskirts of
Brooklyn. Jamaica and Richmond Hill.
For a while he succeeded nicely, and
Fitz's grin was a joy to the eyes.
Just as he was reaching Richmond Hill
via the Jamaica plank read, there was a
noise like that of an explosion. Bob 1 st
control of the auto, and it did sever u
kinds of tricks. The lanky Australian let
go of the grip, grabbed the dashboard
and was instantly forced to straddle it.
The tussle lasted for several minutes and
Fitz finally won out.
The machines was pushed to a black
smith shop for repairs, and its owner
nursing a badly lacerated left hand, took

Grieves Over the Matter and
Becomes Insane.

Scott, a young man about 25 years old,
is occupying a cell In the county jail

the same time, and the strain proved too
great for his mental faculties. He was
arrested by the police of No. 3 station

trying to kill himself. He was taken to

an hour after his confinement there he
tried to hang himself. He was rescued

reason for his rash act, but Chief Mc

conversation. This was after he had

said that he was in love with four giria
and he thought they all loved him. but

choice he was unable, and he delibera

came deranged.
"I would rather be dead than to be in
this condition," he said to Chief Mc
Farland yesterday afternoon, "and I
don't see why you policemen try to pre--er.t
me from killing myself. I guess
you were never in love. I would be bet
ter off dead than alive for then all of
the girls would be satisfied, and I
wouldn't have to disappoint anyone of
them. This love business is mighty hard
on a fellow's nerves."

Walks Into County Treasury and
Pays a Tax Ten Years Old.
From the Independence Reporter.")
At the county treasury yesterday,
Amos Hosmer of Rutland paid a per
sonal tax of $10.83 that was assessed
against him in 1SS6. Since then Mr. Hos
mer has been in the far west nearly all
of the time, returning only recently from
Colorado. He did not know that there
was any tax against him until he acci
dentally heard of it since his return,
when he at once came in and settled.
This is believed to be the oldest personal
tax ever paid in this county. The sher
iff's return in the case was "not found"
and the tax had long since been charged
up to the different county funds and the

ONLY BO 11 IN HOLLAND
Julian Ralph, in the London Mail.
But where do you suppose I saw the
only thoroughbred Boer I ran across in
Holland? He was in Paul Potter's fa
mous picture of the bull. Many readers
of this are familiar with that vigorous
masterpiece. The young bull is beside a
fence, on the other side of which stands
his master, the farmer. He Is an un
kempt, careless, rude man. with an un
combed head, a rough, untrlmmed beard
all around his face, and his phirt open
before his brown chest. In the pose of
the body, the loose hanging of his arms,
and the size of his feet and hands, he is
a type of the rude farmer of a bygone
age or of an out of the way region. His
appearance startled me and set a train
of memory pictures rolling panoramical
ly through my mind.
Once again I saw the Eoer dead at
Beimont and at Modder; Beam the long,
swaying, foot weary line of Cronje's fol
lowers swept by me and anew the
groups of prisoners we garnered from a
dozen fields lounged before me.
The farmer In the picture was a Boer
of today and a Hollander of 1G50 of 16."0
wnen Paul Potter painted in Holland
and the Hollanders were settling the
Cape of Good Hope.
I saw no other Boers and few other
reminders of them in Holland.
