A Swimming School on Diamond Street to be
Established.

There is not the slightest doubt but that
within very short time the much-talked-of
MISUNDERSTANDING Turkish and private
baths-for this city will be open to the public.
Fred Goodwin, who has been hustllng around
for months past, has at last got things into such
shape that the accomplishment OF what he
has been working SO hard for is an assured fact.
He has the refusal of Prices old poolroom on
Diamond street, for term OF ten years from
the owner, and only yesterday he was promised
the financial support of one of the most prom
inent men in town. Plans have already been
prepared and these provide for swimming
bath 70xS5 feet, the depth ranging from to
feet, Swimming teachers both male and
female, will be engaged, and special care will
be devoted to the encouragement OF swimming
among school children. Two afternoons each
week will be set apart for ladies; swimming
club will be established: prizes will be oHered
for the encouragement of local swimmers, and
as attractions the best of professional swim
mers will be brought on here from time to time
to give exhibitions not only in the art OF SWIM
ming, but in the best methods of ife-sav1ng.
The system of private and Turkish baths will
be complete in every particular. A room 5Ox34
feet will be set apart for gymnastic purposes,
and it is proposed to tender the same to the
police free of charge. There will also be at
tached to the building an elegantly lifted up
barber shop. There cannot be the slightest
doubt that the natatorium will be as much
boon to the city as it will be a success pecun-
iarily to the promoters.

camping clubs.

majority of all tho clubs out of this field, but
with the coming season there will come large
number of agents of other lines to make bid
for the large business of this territory by offer
ing new fields and a very reasonable rate to
visit them. The prospects for the coming sea-

The Championship Schedules.

NEW YORK, January 12.-President Day and
George Munson, of the st. Louis club, had a
short talk about the Association schedules yes
terday. Among other things Mr.. Day said: Il
don't see how the schedule can be changed.
Both are now made up, and if they were COM
pared neither side would care to make any
change" From the way in which Mr.. Day
spoke it would seem as though he, as Chairman
of the League Schedule Committee, was not in
clined to make any changes Just to benefit the
American Association. The only benefit that
the League would derive from such changes
would be the doing away with some conf1icting
dates in Philadelphia.

FLOORED THE DOCTOR.
Jim Connors Wins a Lively Wrestling Con-
test ut the East End.

There was quite an exciting and pleasant
time IN the hall of the East End Gymnasium
last evening. Jim Connors, the instructor of
the association, and DR.. Gus Hall wrestled for
purse, catch-as-catch-canb best two of three
falls.
There were between 200 and 800 persons pres
ent. being members of the club and their
friends. Hall is an unknown here, and he was
considered good one to tackle Connors so
readily. The attendance was large, consider
ing the fact that the match or contest was only
arranged yesterday afternoon. The audience
included some of the best known people in the
East End.
The first bout was lively one as long as it
lasted. Connors, however, in nine minutes
succeeded in getting a neck and leg
hold that enabled him to lay the doctor on his
back The doctor won the second fall in five
minutes by throwing Connors over his head.
Connors won the third and deciding bout by
an arm I'D the back hold twisting the doctor
square to the carpet. The event was SO well
received that other athletic entertainments
will follow.

A CHANCE FOR SEARLE.

O'Connor Offers to Row the Australian
Champion in England or America.
TORONTO, January l2.-To-day cablegram
will be sent to Australia, asking Searle and
Kemp if either of them will row O'Connor in
England or America.
If the reply is that either will row in Eng.
land at any early date the Gaudaur race will be
put aside In it there will certainly be no
betting other than the stakes, while the Searle
race would be for S., 600 a side and the cham
pionship of the world, with the prospect of
winning much Australian money.
OConnor's hackers are determined to push
Searle to match. They want their man to try
for the worlds championship.

GUERRERO WANTS A RACE.
He Offers TO Give McCIeIland q Start in
Fifty Miles.

Gus Guerrero, the pedestrian, is still anxious
to have race with McClelland, or any other
Pittsburger. Yesterday letter was received
in this city from Guerrero in which he repeats
his offer to run McClelland, or any other man
in this city, ten miles or more. He further
offers to give McClelland quarter of a mile
start in 80 miles.
Guerrero concludes his letter by stating that
he and Peter Hegelman will come to Pittsburg
and run any other two men % miles for a stake
or purse.
1t is not likely that McClelland will run a 60
mile race until the weather is finer, When
spring time comes he will probably give Guer-
rero a race on a good track, and the latter may
get all the running he wants.

Instantaneous photography is a

TO take those blamed photographs all
you had 10 do was TO draw a horse so
that il looked natural and lifelike, and
the papers and public were satisfied.
Now, though, since that Philadelphia
fellos printed his book, and especially
since The Sun reprinted the cuts from
il, nothing will do but that we must
draw running horses just as they are,
and not as they look. OF course the
pictures don't look nearly SO pretty,
and the horses are rs awkward and
unnatural as donkeys, but they are
accurate. and that is the craze just
now. We have had 10 learn our ami

We were having Il new home built

One day, as lie stood in The front room
upstairs his attention was attracted to

he saw a funeral procession passing
from the door and out through the
gate. The casket was small, white
and covered with flowers. He recog,

crowd, and through some indelinable
impression, he understood hat the
corpse was that OF his son. His son,
though he had no son at the time,
Surprised and startled at the thought,
he saw the procession vanish. and he
felt unable TO qccoIat for the expert

Within a few months q little son
was born to us, and before three years
it was carried out the gate in a flower
covered, white casket and followed by
the same friends my husband had seen

Ia the Iedieean Mausoleum.


Ghastly and grinning skulls were
there, adorned in crowns of gold.
Dark and parchment dried faces were
seen, with their golden hair, rich as
ever, and twisted with gems and
golden nets. The cardinals wore still
their miters and red cloaks and splendid
rings. On the breast of Cardinal Car
los (son of Ferdinand II was a beauti-
full cross of white enamel, with the eff
Ggy Of Christ in black and surrounded
With emeralds, and on his hand n rich
sapphire ring.
On that Of Cardinal Leopold, the
son Of Cosimo ii, over the purple
p~laneta was a cross Of amethysts and
on his finger a jacinth, set in enamel.
The dried bones of Vittoria della Ro-
we're Montefeltro were draped by a
dress of black silk Of beautiful texture,
trimmed with black and white lace,
with a great golden medal on her
breast, and the portrait of her as she
was in life, lying on one side and her
emblems on the other; while all that
remained of herself were a few bones.
Anna Louisa, the Electress Halatine
of the Rhine. daughter of Cosimo Ill,
lay there, almost a skeleton, robed in
a rich violet velvet. with the electoral
crown surmounting u black CHASTITY
face of parchment, a medal of gold,
with her eiligy and name on one side
and on her breast n cruciliX of silver;
while Francisco Maria, her uncle, lay
beside her, a mass of putrid robes and
rags.
Cosimo | and Cosimo ii had been
stripped by profane hands of all their
jewels and insignia, and so had Elean-
ora Toledo and Maria Christina and
many others 10 the number of twenty.
The two bodies which were found
in the best preservation were those Of
the Grand Duchess Giovanni d'Aus-
tria, the wife Of Francisco /, and
their daughter Anna. Corruption
had scarcely touched them, and they
lay there, fresh in color as If they had
Just died. The mother, in her red
satin, trimmed with lace, her red silk
stockings and high heeled shoes, the
earrings hanging from her ears, and
her blonde hair as fresh as ever, and
equally well preserved was the body of
the daughter-the color Of their faces
scarcely changed.
And so, centuries after they had
been laid there, the truth became evil
dent Of the rumor that ran through
Florence at the time Of their death
that they had died Of poison, The ar.
senic which had taken from them
their life had preserved their bodies.
Giovanni dele Bande Mere was also
there-the bones scattered and loose
within his iron armor and his rustcd
helmet with the visor down. And
this is what was left Of the great Me-
dici. -Blackwood's Magazine.
