THE CoRBETrJAcKsoN FIGHE



Men are Scientific Boxers.
SAN Francisco, CAL, March 23.--The
tistic event which looms up most con
spicuously in the near future is the
Corbett-Jackson meeting, Much genuine
interest is taken in the fight because
both men are recognized as scientific
boxers. Neither could be correctly
spoken of as a slugger. Each has a
head on his shoulders well stocked with
brains. Both are quick and scientific
and the meeting between them ought to
come more closely to the ideal of the
art of self-defence than almost any of
the many prize ring fights which have
of late years caused sensations from
time to time.
In all Sullivan's fights his superior
science or superior strength have been
very obvious. In no instance has he
been met by man in whom the com
bination of science and strength was as
evenly allotted as it will be in the Jack
son and Corhett meeting. Kilrain was
much Wanted for his science but the
delusion has been long ago dispelled.
Charley Mitchell is quick as lightning
but has not Sullivan's strength In this
fight both men have speed, strength
and generalship and the tight will be in
the fullest sense trial of skill more
than of muscle and endurance.
Charles Stencil, Jim Corbett's man
ager says that Corbett is taking light
exercise and will commense the serious
work Of training on April 1st John
Donaldson is new in Sassanlito with
Corbett and Billy Delaney, who trained
the pugilst for his fight with Choynski
will also be ready to take him in hand
on the date named
Peter jackson is at Joe Dives and It
will be a surprise if he does not show
up in tirst-class condition. Peter can
get into shape in month and when he
is feeling good and strong, there is not
pugilist living whom he cannot give
enough to keep him busy as long as he
is in the ring, Bets are not plentiful
and will not be until close to the time
of the meeting; even then odds one way
or the other will be slight. 1t is Just
about toss up who will win.

because 1t always looks cool, and SO, for
that reason, all the pretty girls are likely
to wear it. However, if
THE PRETTIEsr GIRL OF ALL
wants to look most in fashion, she must
get herself up after one of the pictures
from an old-fashion book of beauty. Her
hair must he curled, and on it she must
wear q shepherdess' hat, with wreath of
roses inside of it, while about her waist
must be deep girdle that will make her
look little short-waisted She can pose
with rose in her hand, although when
she is without her hat, the rose may find a
place in her hair Just behind her ear. If
she is really as charming-loolling as she
ought to be, the artist in popular favor
will do picture of her, exhibit IT, and she
will have a notoriety that would have
frightened her grandmother, although she
permitted her face to show in the old-fash-
Toned book.
WOMEN VINO POSE FOR ARTISTS.
The mania that women have for posing
for artists is something astounding. 1t
began in Paris, it went to London, and
now 1t is here. The daughter of we'll
known American had her picture painted
by q celebrated artist picture in which
beside her birthday suit, she held mask
up to her face--that was her costume
That picture has been photographed and
is very generally sold through the United
States, and vet it is not known here as it
Is in Paris, exactly who the girl is. do
not think New York women aspire to this
lat least l hope they do not; but when
they begin this wretched cant of doing
things ''for arts sake with a soulful soul
and capital A, feel as il the impossible
were to be expected.
THINGS TO RE RENoUNCED.
How have you gotten along with your
renunciations2
heard a man wish that some of the old
women who give life to dead scandals. and
who talk over, with morbid and ghoulish
glee, the misfortunes of others, would re-
nounce this world-the flesh having re-
nounccd them and the devil having no
use for them, and made me think of what
could be renounced
Women who die their hair might re-
nounce the chemist
Lawyers and doctors might renounce fibs.
Pretty women might renounce flirtations
Actresses might renoulce painting their
eyes SO much.
Housekeepers might renounce bad cook
ing.
Men might renounce gambling.
Women might renounee indigestible
sweets.
There are good many things that
might be renowned, but please, good Mr..
Editor, don't renounce Bah.

to-day reports from the sick chamber were
very favorable
This evening DIR. Chambers called at the
Windsor Hotel at 3 o'clock to see his dis
tinguished patient, and shortly thereafter
announced that he would remain all night
in the sick room. Heart failure was The
cause Of death,

try, and probably the best manager or
director Of the stage He was born in
Paterson. n. j., April 4th. 1888, of Irish
parents His earliest connection with the

M'KINLEY'S ROAST.
He Says no Democratic Majority in Ten
Years Will be Able to Repeal His Tariff


Years Will be Able TO Repeal His Tariff
Law.
EX-Congressman Mckinley of Ohio, ad-
dressed large meeting at Worcester,
Mass, on Monday. Abiding to the Tariff
law he said that no Democratic majority in
Congress that will be elected in the next
10 years will be able to repeal it. The
treaty with Brazil gives foreign market.
We have practically got free raw material,
for priva' 2 citizen can buy his raw mate
rial abroad, pay tax on il at the custom
house, manufacture it in his factory and
the government will refund 80 per cent on
the manufactured article, keeping one per
cent as its percentage for handling goods.
Protective tariffs do not build a Chinese
wall around country, for in single years
since 1879 we have exported more than in
Il years from 1870. We can have free trade
perhaps when other nations bring their
laborer up to our high standard for we will
never descend to theirs.
u is said that the protective tariff takes
from the many to pay the few. There is
no country in the world where wealth is
more widely diffilsed or where there are
more. homes paid for. we have no quar-
rel with Great Britain. She carries on her
government in her own way. We are to
work for the best destiny for our nation.
We permit every nation to make their own
policy. We want no interference from
any nation of the world, and we will have
none Shall we turn from splendid pros
perity we have got? 1t is unparalleled in
history the progress in arts sciences,
education and industrial develop
ments. We know what thirty years
of protection have done. Shall it
be changed? No. If change ever comes,
il will not come from school men or the
orists. Nothing can say of the new tariff
can help it. Nothing it's enemies say can
hinder it. Its operations alone can do it
hurt. The platform upon which Benja-
min Harrison was elected President-he is
as good President as we have had in
years-has fulfilled all its pledges save one,
and that the Republican Congress passed,
and it was not the fault of Senator Hoar
that it did not go through the Senate. The
conscience of the country will not be al |
lowed to sleep until the liberty and suf-
frage of the people is respected, and every
part of the country has equal rights

Honeymoon Spoiled Because the Hus-
band Lovingly Kissed His Bride in
Public.
A st. Louis special says: Incoming pas
sengers on Missouri Pacific train and the
throng in the waiting room at the Union
station witnessed a series of peculiar
scenes in which bride and groom were
the principal actors.
John @. Carney, son of wealthy orange
grower near San Diego, Cal, courted Susan
v. Mayberry, daughter of Captain Robert
Mayherry, for three years and finally
married her. They started east on bridal
tour They had planned to behave so that
fellow-trayellers should not know they
We're just married. Shortly before reach
ing the Union station here, however, as
they were sitting in the drawing-room car,
Carney's affection so far got the better of
him that lie kissed his wife Everybody
in the car smiled except the bride. She got
angry and a bitter quarrel ensued. After
some harsh words the bride took seat in
one corner of the car and would not notice
the sulking groom in another corner.
When the train pulled into Union station
the bride took a cab up town. Wishing to
gether trunks and not thinking of the pub
Lefty that would come, she asked to be
directed to a justice of the peace's Office
She was taken to that of James Mccartney
AT her request Constable Benjamin Brady

to persuade her that 1t was not the proper
action, but the angry woman would not
listen to argument.
Didn't he" she began, her eyes snap
ping with anger, kiss me right before all
these people and make me the laughing
stock of the travellers just wont stand
it,
The papers were made out and Constable
Brady got in a cab with the bride and
started for the station. During this ride
the bride of only a few days brokedown and
began to cry. The constable told her that
her husband hadnot meant anything wrong
but was overcome by his love for her This
consoled her to some degree and She began
to ffiquire If it were not possible to recall
the replevin. Certainly said Mr. Brady.
That was just what he wanted. Getting
on the south side of the station Mr. Brady
heard the lady exclaim "There he is "
and suddenly leave his side and hurriedly
hasten to that of gloomy-loolling gentle
man who was trying to punch a hole in
the planks with small cane.

The people in the immediate vicinity
heard these EXPLANATIONS, and looking
around they saw a young woman sobbing,
with her face on the shoulder OF fine
looking young man. The husband paid the
constable, the writ was destroyed, and the
couple drove to hotel.

Timothy Healy Assaulted in Cork, Yester-
day, and Severely Injured.


Cork, March 23.--Mr Timothy d. Healy,
NJ P.i had very rough experience in this
city to-day, being assaulted and seriously
injured. He had attended the assizes,
being interested in case in which his
brother, Maurice Healy, to whom Mr..
Parnell recently sent his famous resigna-
ton challenge, had obtained damages for
libel against a member of the Parnellite
party.
Upon leaving the court room at the con
clusiOn of the trial Mr.. Timothy Healy
was soon surrounded by bowling mob,
who followed him along the street and
made number of attempts to assault him.
The crowd finally became so violent that
Mr.. Healy, to escape his tormcntors, was
compelled to beat d retreat and take refuge
nthe dressing-room of the Victoria Hotel.
But this proved TO be only temporary
place of safety for, before Mr., Healy
could recover from the effects of the mob's
roush usage, a man suddenly rushed into
the room, turned out the light and then
struck Mr.. Healy powerful blow in the
face, smashing his eyeglasses into pieces.
When assistance arrived and the room
was again lighted Mr. Iealy was found to
have been badly injured as he had re
ceiNed numerous cuts from the broken
pieces of his eyeglasses and the blood was
pouring down his face in streams He was
removed to ROOM and as he appeared to

slclans were summoned, Threedoctors at
tended him.
lIealy's assailant is O'Brien Dalton, who
was connected with the Tipperary CON
spiracy. He first upbraided Healy for an
insulting speech which Healy made while
Dalton was in prison. He then struck
Healy. The glass injured the coats of
Healy,,s left eye and inflicted an incised
wound m inch below the eyelid. It is
feared that inflammation will ensue
Healy's sight is not injured. Mr.. Morley,
who arrived at the hotel after the assault,
was highly indignant. Parnellite roughs
watched all the exits till Healy departed
from back entrance, when they hooted
him.

by three rufiians while they were walk
ing to their homes few miles outside
the city about dusk last evening and
thrown into an empty cattle car, which
was on its way to Chicago attached to
the regular cattle train. The train had
stopped but started as soon as the daring
deedwas committed. The ruflians
threw the men to the floor of the car
and robbed them of their valuables
which they only succeeding in taking
after a desperate struggle. The
robbers sprung upon their victims
and over and over they rolled each
man fighting for supremacy. The
noise of the rapidly moving train
and the cries of the huddled up
cattle drowned the shouts of the men
for help. The men who were big and
strong fought desperately for their lives
but the three robbers were too much for
them. After battle of nearly half an
hour the nearly exhausted men We're
hurled from the rapidly moving train
and left lying bruised and bleeding and
by the roadside, Two
hours afterward they were found and
conveyed to neighboriug house where
they were revived. As soon as their
story was learned the Chicago police
were notified but so far no arrest have
yet been made. Their injuries are seri-
GUS though not necessarily fatal.

CHICAGO, March 23.-Charles Button,
a repairer in the employ of the fire
alarm telegraph service. went into the
barber shop of Pirfolsoon, Harrison
street, Saturday night, ana seating him
self in chair, called upon any member
of the Malta in the shop to give him a

a hand in settling the New Orleans
troubles, being member of the mob
that stormed the Crescent City Jail. For
q moment the Italians looked at the
customer and then fell on him en- lnasse.
When the "avenger" landed in the street
he looked as if lie had been in collision
with a locomotive. The terrific thump-

Necozso, Michael Rerelo and Jacob
Scare, were arrested, charged with the
assault on the "ayenger," Button, il is
