NOTE BOOK OF REPORTER.

While thus engaged the original of the
picture entered the room through door
which brought her to the back of her
visitor.
She was entitled to the name of 1.-The
handsome Flora" Tall, of superb pro-
portions, her exquisite form was full
though not plump; her hair was flaxen
and shining in waves over her perfectly
proportional head, standing erect upon
a white column of a neck; her skin was
white as alabaster, and her cheeks had
the delicate tinge of peach; her lips
were twin cherries. full to the point of
sensuality: her features faultless in their
classic regularity.
She stopped for moment, placing a
shapely white hand upon the back of a
chair, steadying herself. Her football
had been so light upon the soft carpet
that she had not attracted the attention
of her visitor She observed him intent
ly for moment.
AS she stood there a gracious picture
in the half light, it could be seen that
her eyes were gray, luminous and large,
but cold, even hard, and greatly at va
rance with the full and sensuous lips
and the voluptuous curves of her face
and the folds of her neck.
Finally she moved up and said:
Il hope you admire the art of my old
professor Mr.. Holbrook?'
The young lawyer sprang up startled,
but quickly recovering his self possession
replied
II was less engaged with the art of
the picture than with the beauty OF the
subject.
The lady made deprecatory gesture
as she said:
LAS work of art it has been greatly
admired"
The artist had inspiration in his sub
ject worthy of his greatest skill"
"a truce to compliments, laughed the
lady, "but sit here, where we may have
light and air" leading the way into a
rear apartment. Indeed, this is the
only habitable spot on this floor"
II supposed until received your note

marked as he seated himself in an easy

some business my uncle insisted upon.
You see." waving her hand over the
room, 1--WE are not living, merely exist
ing for few days.
Il was delighted to hear from you, /"
said Holbrook, not very brightly, but for
the sake of saying something that would
lead to the reason of his summons.
His effort was successful, but some
high expectations were tumbled and he
was filled with establishment when he
heard her unfold it.

A Mess in Clothing.

At this time of the year
manufacturers try to push off
goods that particular stores
wouldn't take. They get the
best prices they can and let
goods 60. They tempt stores
to buy them-for a price.
1t makes a mess Of selling
clothing. It's expected peo-
pie will buy solely because
the prices sound small. They
injure buyer and seller.
We have our own make
only. Always a solid and
well-known value in that. We
don't have time nor desire to
help clothing we don't know
to get sold. Our own we'll
guarantee: for high quality
low price.

around and dropping at every opportunity, to
avoid punishment which disgusted the crowd.
Sullivan's and his seconds and friends claims
OF foul were paid no heed to.
The Grand FinnIe.
Round 6S-Kilrain ran around the ring. Sui.
lyan followed him closely, hitting him in the
ribs. Sullivan feinted. Kilrain attempted to
drop, when Sullivan hit him with a vicious
upper and under cut, knocking him down
heavily. Time, IL minutes.
Round 69-Kilrain was knocked down with a
right-hander in the jaw. From this until the
close OF the seventy-hfth round Kilrain pur-
sued his running away tactics dropping on
every attempt of Sullivan to administer pun
ishment
At the close of the seventy-ffth round
Mitchell went over to Sullivan's corner and
asked to have the fight declared a draw to
which Sullivan and his seconds responded:
NO, no." Donovan then stepped to the center
OF the ring and threw up the sponge amid a
scene of the widest enthusiasm.
How the Men Looked After the Fight.
The only marks on Sullivan were a slight
cut under the right eye and another on the
left ear. Kilrain's body showed the effect
of Sullivau's blows, and he was bleeding at
the ears, nose and mouth. Both men were
hurriedly conveyed to the train by their
friends and given attention. Sullivan's
condition was superior to Kilrain's the lat
ter looking as if he had been overtrained.
AT no time, excepting when Sullivan's
stomach gave evidence of weakness, was
there doubt as to the final result Of the
fight.

IsPECrkL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
WASHINGTON, July &-The long fight be-
tween the plate printers and the steam presses
in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was
finally and completely ended to-day. and work
men began this afternoon to dismember the
nineteen steam presses which have been IN use,
and tumbled them out of the building. At the
last session Of Congress. after long, tedious
Investigation and bitter fight between the
printers and the owners of the presses, backed
by Chief Graves. of the bureau, the royalty was
reduced from 81 per 1000 impressions to cent
per LOCO The owners Of the presses were
given until the 1st of July to accept the new
terms. On the lst day of July they proposed
contract in accordance with the Law, but SEQ
retary Window refused to enter into con-
tract except it was one that could be termi-
mated at any time From this the owners in
ferred that il was the intention of the Secre-
tary to merely retain the presses as a matter OF
convenience until he could dispense with them,
and SO no contract was made
The Secretary has held that it was the clear
intent of the law to root out the machines. and
was disposed to obey the law especially as the
weight of evidence was that the steam presses
had greatly degraded the work of the bureau.
The plate printers are jubilant. Hand presses
will be at once introduced in place of the steam
presses. and everyone will lend his energies to
bring the work of the bureau to the highest
d egree of excellence.

CINCINNATI, July S.-PresidentM M. E. Ingalls,
of the new Big Four, was asked to-day by the
Associated Press what he had to say about the
charge of prominent official of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railway that he tIngalls) had been
cutting rates right and left he replied that
the Chesapeake and Ohio had been as conserv-
ative as any other trunk line; that since May Is
it has not received a bushel of grain at Newport
News. He said there was no more truth in
this last Baltimore utterance than there was in
a former one that the Chesapeake and Ohio had
reduced rates cents below the Baltimore and
Ohio cut
''Tne fact is" said Mr.. Ingalls,, ''the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and the Big Four both have de-
clined to meet the cut, and they will not meet
it until after the meeting of the railway man
ayers in New York on Wednesday. The Balti.
more and Ohio people are all my personal
friends. and ] am much grieved that they
should take this course. The reduction in
rates seems to me to be entirely uncalled for.
l hope on reflection they will withdraw.
notice the Baltimore grain dealers approve Of
it, but people who benefit by cut are apt to
be In favor of it, though have never found in
the past that their approval amounts to much
when it comes to dividend time"

JoHNTowN, July 8.-The saloons were
opened to-day throughout the valley by
order of Judge johnson, and tonight Johns
town is filled with drunken men. A num-
ber of complaints were made by citizens at
General Hastings headquarters, and de-
tail was sent to protect citizens in the Gen.
tral part of the city. Many of the laborers
and Contractor Hughes carpenters are
intoxicated tonight, and it is doubtful if
they will be able to 60 to work in the morn
ing. In view of the disorder following the
opening of the saloons, General Hastings
tonight sent this telegram to Judge John
son:
Hon. r. L. johnson, President Judge Of Cambria
county, Ebensburg:
The saloons and other houses licensed to sell
liquor in Johnstown and vicinity opened their
doors to the public to-day, and continued the
sale OF liquor during the day and night. At
this hour, o o'clock, there are many drunken
people upon the streets, and 1t is considered in
some parts of Johnstown to be dangerous to
travel the public Ihoroughfares desire to
call your attention to the fact that there are
yet ABOUT 1U,UU people VINO are required 10 De
fed by the bounty of the county every day, and
there are perhaps the same number who have
no shelter, We have still large force of labor
ers here cleaning up the streets and thorough
fares. To permit licensed houses to open their
doors and continue the sale of liquor consider
the greatest calamity that could befall the peo-
pie of the valley.
respectfully call your attention to the fact
that the people of the several boroughs and
townships of this valley at present have no
money or means whereby to surround them
selves with adequate police protection, which
would be necessity whore SO many drinking
houses are open to the public. therefore beg
of you to recall your order permitting the sale
of liquor in Johnstown and the remaining
devastated portions of the Conemaugh valley.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
JACKSON, July Slate this afternoon the
following telegram was received from Colonel
Merrill, who was stationed at Nicholson,
small station on the Northeastern Railroad
near the Louisiana line, with . company of
militia to aid the Sheriff of Hancock county in
carrying out the orders of the Governor, which
were to arrest the principals to the prize
fight and their seconds should they enter the
State.
''Sherih Of Hancock county refused to allow
troops to arrest prize fighters without your
further command They have passed out Of
the State. ] leave with troops at once"
The information was received unaccount-
ably late by Governor Lowry-too late to en-
able a reply from HIM to be effective for the
arrest of the law-breaKers. Hence he could
take no further steps, the guilty parties
being then beyond the State limits.
Colonel Merrill under the circumstances, was
powerless to act, the military being entirely sub
servient to the civil authorities 1t was expected
that the Sheriff would obey the proclamation
and the troops were to aid him to do 90 II
necessary. Governor Lowry is greatly sur
prised at the action of the Sheriff, but asserts
that he will issue papers for the extradition OF
the law breakers and hopes to bring them to
Justice.

shows Sullivan to be invincible.
Mrs. kilrain took the news very quietly,
though much disappointed. She received the
news through her husbands simple dispatch:
Mature gave out; not hurt" A great many
visitors called upon her during the afternoon.
To them she attributed her husbands defeat to
the lack of regularity In Jakes training. He
stopped at public places, she said, and while
Sullivan was kept constantly secluded and: at
work. Kilrain was obliged to receive and en-
tertain many friends who came out to see him
daily. The loss of the fight she said, would be
anticipate it, but always spoke with the great
est confidence, as if the battle had already
been won. 1t is believed that Kilrain will
soon leave for England, where he will engage
in the show business with Mitchell. When
Mrs Mitchell was asked when she would re-
turn to England, she replied that it all de-
pears to be more put out than Mrs Kilrain.
