A MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY

How a Minnesota Man Expects to
Get Wife or Lose Farm.
Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 3.-William
&. King is farmer at Newport, MIMI,
and is about 80 years of age and I'M
married. Sidney G. King, who is
three years older and carries on a
tsaming business at the same place,
is his brother. A few days ago they
were sitting at Williams house, read
ing the newspapers, when Sidney no.
ticed a paragraph about a man in the
East who was advertising for wife.
Sidney said he thought that was a
foolish plan by which to secure q
wife. William said he didn't think
it was, and the brothers got into a
heated argument over the question.
81 will tell what 1 will do" finally
declared Sidney. 81 will bet you $500
even that you dare not select a wife
by lottery IN a way that will indi-
cate"
~ have no money!" replied Will
liam, "but / have farm worth that
at least, and l will take that bet if
you will put up your money against
my farm at CorkingtOn."
"All right, it's a 60, "saidSidney, and
they set to work to prepare the terms
of the bet. A contract was drawn up
in legal form, and each signed it. 1t
provided that William shall 60 not
more than 500 miles nor less than
three miles from his home and select
a wife by lottery. He is to make 100
tickets, numbered from l to 100,
which are to be put in envelopes and
one given to every lady wishing
husband, regardless of her age or
nationality. A certain day is to be
announced for the drawing, and pub
lie notice is to be given of the place
where it is to take place. On the
day of the drawing some person is to
be selected by the audience and
blindfolded. The tickets are to be
placed in hat and we'll shaken up.
The man blindfolded will then be
brought on the stage and requested
to draw one ticket from the hat. By
the mum Der which it bears the future
wife of William King is to be deter
mined, as he must marry the lady
holding the corresponding number or
forfeit his farm. If he carries out
this agreement he will receive the
sum of $500, bet by his brother.

SULLIVAN AND JACKSON.

The following are some of the
opinions of the best authorities in
England on pugilism regarding the
mrits of John l.. Sullivan and Peter
Jackson:
Jem Mace, ex-champion, says: 81
consider Jackson the wonder of the
world, Smith was no match whatever
for him. If Sullivan was in proper
condition L think he would be the
best man in fight to a finish. But
he will hardly ever get in first-class
fix again. He don't like work, you
know.
John Bull, (Chippy Norton. Well,
I backed Jackson for over $500 in
the Smith affair, but / think John L.
Sullivan can lick him without a
doubt.
Jack Davis (ex-heavy weight.
Jackson is another John L., and the
pair Dug ht to make splendid go In
a fair field with no favors.
Parson Davies jackson g manager).
Peter would knock Sullivan out in
the first rouJ d.
Jack Baldock the prince of the
seconds), l would much prefer to be
behind the white man if I had my
choice.
Jem Carney was asked what he
thought OF the two big fellows, but
positively declined to give any opinion
whatever. "All I want" said the
lightweight champion of England,
is to meet that blooming American
duffer, McAuliffe."
Jack Harper lone of Smiths sec.
onds): Jackson is good boxer, but /
think Smith would defeat him in the
old style. Sullivan would be my
favorite against the colored man.
The well known owner of race
horses, Squire Arlington, lost many
hundred pounds on Smith, and did
not wish to give any opinion of fight
ers when asked. Jake Hyams, the
lightweight, said he thought Jackson
wa better man than Sullivan.

dows. Jean Ingelow's home is that of
a poet. with books on every hand, and
always within reach wherever you NAV
chance to sit down. The poet is now
in middle life, but her face shows moi
the slightest trace Of years. Her man
per is most friendly, her conversation
charming, and in q most musical voice.
She has a remarkably correct know
ledge of American literature, the titles
of ali the latest American books being
spoken by her with wonderful auency.
Her character is ~emirently practical,
without a touch of sentimentality. Ali
her literary writing is done in the fore

gaslight. She composes slowly, and
her verses are often kept by her for
months before they r allowed to 20

and the most ver part Of the winter
is spent in the south Of France.
