MITCHELL'S TRICK.
He Takes Charge of slayin-Biily Madden
Thrown Down. ....


New YORK, June 15.-Charley Mitch
ell, the English pugiliSt, appears to
have the faculty of getting into bad
oder every time becomes to America.
His preSent-v visit is.nO~ exception TO the
rule, ..a,i.. alv lzrao. o,sa .'.:l
Itis openly charged in pugilistic cir
cles that Mitchell has schemed to GUST
Madden and get control of Slavin for
his own benefit. Madden's friends.
and they. are very numerous, pare
highly indignant over what they term
Mitchell's underhand work, and threat
en- to makeit interesting for the: Fog
lishman before he returns to- England.
The rupture of the relations between
Madden and .SlaNinNOeeHrned yesterday
at,Mrs, QiBrien' rGoney Island Hotel.
Madden r. reached , the hotel j4st as the
pugilist WAS starting out fora walk and
was recognized tin a. chilly manner.
Slaytn. offered the tips sQf his fingers in
greeting. Mitchell. was there, and, as
it appears he, was selected TO do The
talking. Madden, who as manager, eX-
pected to second SSlavin on the night OF
the battle, asked Mitchell whore his
tickets were.
The Englishman replied that he had
only four, but added: { You can go ever
with some of US" Tux ,G-r.7e.s $50.
,''Some of us?' ECHOED Madden. why
who is going. TO second Slayin9" e.t.
Il, am, ".ceolly replied Mitchell. as 3
cts this way" continued Mitchell,
'.Pease, SlaVin's hacker, has written
from England advising Slavfn against
having you as a second. He seems to
think you are Jonah, and claims the
men yougo behind always lose. Siavin
is SuperstitiouS aud has decided to take
his hackers advice. But after the match
he is perfently'. willing to'have you act
as his, manager again" -l'r.~
Madden became white with rage and
claimedlit was underhand work and de-
clared he was through with the crowd.
Slavin was told Of the incident, but it
did not appear TO disturb him. He IS fit
To fight now and will do battle work on
Tuesday After doing his regular work
he weighed exactly $50 pounds -yester-
day. 10 $3.50 49, r.
Referee Dunn proposes to establish
precedent in the betting rules. He says
that if The. fight is draw he will decide
that all the bets must be split in two, as
in the case when two horses run dead
heat. This means that if a man bets
SO to SIS on Slavn or. Kilrain, as the
case may te, each bettor shall receive
81 50, If the men fight draw, instead
of drawing down the amounts they put
up: Heretofore all bets-on drawn bat
ties have been declared off. go

plsa.ant Games COR rvenlnr..

A pleasant game for an evening at
home, among few reading people and
their neighbors, is called Quotations. ;"
A card with some appropriate lines may
announce the evening to your friends,
and for an hour the hostess or some one
else assigned the duty may read quota
tons, the guests giving the author.
Well known lines should be written on
slips of paper and put in q pretty ribbon
basket. The guests are seated in circle,
and after the first quotation one is given
a minute to name the author If he
fails, the reader gives the right name
and No. reads the next quotation and
passes to his next neighbor.
To give variety an authors name may
be given, and point is made by the first
one who responds with a quotation from
that writer; or a subject may be given
and appropriate quotations called for.
The one making the greatest number of
points wins the game. Another game
that calls for quick thought is called
observation" On the card given to
each person is a list of ten articles that
he is given ten seconds each to see. An
evening devoted to curios, after the
fashion of some of the clubs, is also both
delightful and profitable. Each guest
brings curio and tells the history of it.
In the same manner geographical
club sometimes varies its evenings by
having each member bring picture of
some spot where he has Travelled and
give little talk about it.--New York
Post.

Original Ideas and Dre..mai.er.

In my experience l have long since
come to the conclusion that if you are
not fashion plate, an actress or So
ciety woman celebrated as model on
which dressnakers show new exhibits,
you must do your own thinking when
you want something little different
from one of dozen turned out at the
mandatory. But in case You find
yourself under the necessity of doing
your dressmaker's head work, there is
no need of going to first class man or
woman who sends first class bills. You
must find woman who fits we'll, who is
not so stubborn but that she will take
and execute some one else's ideas, who
will become interested in the work for
the works sake and who is Intelligent
enough to do some suggesting herself
But hear my readers exclaim, THAT
pearl is impossible to find"
It is perhaps difficult, but not impossi-
BILE. l have never found it 80, When
lived in America it was almost impossi-
BILE to convince my friends that / did not
wear imported dresses, that had them
made right in town; and here in Paris
have been faithful to my little obscure
dressmaker for the last ten years for gar
ments-cloaks as well MS dresses. Those
dressmakers, like good servants, can be
found. There are few of them left,
and don't see why should not be as
clever as my neighbor, find them out and
have the benefit OF their services

a.nss Wash Once a Year.

The facility with which washing IL
done by the use of borax accounts for
Its popularity in the low countries and
IN Germany, where to many families
washday comes but once q year. The
notion of cleanliness which prevails
among the better class OF Germans for
bids the storing or accumulation of soiled
linen in the dwelling house, hence the
necessity Of the tschwartzwaschkom
mer," built near by, where the soiled or
unwashed clothes are hung up, exposed
to the air, on poles or lines. We cannot
but commend them for this custom, and
it would be well for those housekeepers
to take hint who store soiled garments
in the closets of sleeping rooms and I'M
der the beds
The humblest German hausfrau does
not feel her poverty If she has an album
dance of linen, and this she will have if
possible, to the exclusion of other things
which we might regard almost as need
full. She is rich indeed if at the end of
six months or year she can display
long lines hung with immaculate linen
We can thus understand how even at
this day chest OF linen is regarded
among the peasantry as part of their
dover or marriage portion of the bride.
For these washings week is usually
taken and the event is regarded as no
ordinary one. 1t issomething of jubi-
lee in which the entire family takes
part. An American lady travelling in
Germany witnessed one of these sfrol-
les" where four or five women were
washing from one capacious tub. When
asked why they did not adopt the easier
plan of washing weekly. one of them re-
piled that "they feared the people might
think they had but two garments
apiece. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

One Onre for Malaria

A reputable and honored citizen living

Immediately called mp the family physi-

iSubscriber-My wife complains Of a

Remedies OF Chinese Trades Unions.


The trades unions Of China resort to
terrible remedies in order TO carry out
their ends. heard Of case in Shang-
hal where an employer did something
contrary to the rules of the guild of his
workmen. His men objected, but he re-
fused to accede to their demands, and
they concluded to make an example of
him. He had more than 100 men work.
ing for him. These at concerted sig
nal sprang upon him and commenced
biting him. They had leader, and this
leader would not let one of the men go
away from the place without showing
his teeth, and if the teeth and gums were
bloody he was allowed to go ont,
The plot was gotten up on the basis
that there was do capital punishment in
China for biting. They bit the man to
death and the matter came to the ears Of
the government. There was little
fuss about it, but the guild was stroug
one, and only the man who took the first
bite was punished. The punishment of
members within the guild for acting
contrary to its rules are equally terrible.

A correspondent says that the drink
ing of salt water is perfect cure for
seasickness, though 1t makes the drinker
very miserable for few inmates after
4, takes the cure. The sailor who rec
commended it to the sufferer in question
accounted for it by saying the stomach
on board ship is in very sensitive state,
and that the salt water pickles it 80
that it gets hardened to conditions which
had previously reyolted it.
If that were the explanation, it. must
be a very rapid and miraculous kind of
picking process that is effected by pint
OF salt water, not, in all probability,
long retained. But whatever the ration
ale Of the supposed sailors remedy"
may be, any quick remedy for SO fright
full distress is worth trying, and the
assertion Of the sailors Is said TO be that
1t never fails. st. James Gazette.
