JACK JOHNSON.

A KNOCK-OUT BLOW. Sydney, October 21. Mr. Hugh Mclntosh has received a cable stating that Johnson is anxious to sign a contract to visit Australia, and asking for £IOOO expenses. lie is willing to sail on October 31. Mr. Mclntosh has cabled to Mr. Kelly, h.s representative in Chicago, to cancel all negotiations with Johnson and return to Australia. KEEN .RACIAL ILL-FEELING. (Received 12.25 p.m.) New York, October 21. Jack Johnson narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of an infuriated mob when it was known he was charged with abducting a white girl. He is now closely guarded by the police. A race war is feared in consequence of the ill-feeling generated by his arrest. Jack Johnson (says the Chicago correspondent of the ‘Province,’ Vancouver), entered a new role ns “mine host” of a rich-embellished cafe on July 10th. The place is called “The Champion.” There is a silver service that cost 3000 dollars; also a “gold and silver” bar that cost 5000 dollars ; four paintings, for which the pugilist is said to have paid 15,000 dollars; embroidered linen, rich tapestries, sterling silver spittoons, great quantities of elegant cut glass, and other things in a like lavish scale. Johnson started tilings going with a first-class orchestra, and with the singing of soloists of local note. Champagne flowed freely as the loading irrigator. Souvenir books, containing 32 pictures of the conqueror of Jeffries and Flynn, were distributed among those present for inaugural. Cafe men say it will require liberal patronage and generous dinner cheques to maintain the place on the scale of grandeur exhibited on the opening night. Some of them shook their heads quizzically when asked what they thought of the champion’s enterprise. Johnson hoped to make the place the headquarters for all sporting and theatrical celebrities.

Every farmer will find that a few Bee Hives will prove a most beneficial investment. While only raising enough honey to keep bis own homo supplied, he can at the same lime gain that practical knowledge and ex-j perienco which will enable him to launch out on more extensive operations, with a good prospect of success. The occupation possesses a peculiar fascination, and is almost a form of relaxation to many fanners and their families. Beginners should commence on a small scale, learn the ways of bees, how to handle them, and what kind of equipment to use. Make the bees pay for themselves and for ad-i ditional appliances, as well as providing some profit, and allow the business to grow gradually, until it becomes a huge money-making concern.—McMil-; '■m and Fredric, Rnecialists in Bee-1 keepers’ Supplies.
