corbett Has No Great Record.

Corbett met Choynski when the latter,
who is few years his Junior, was mere
boy, yet he had a hard time winning the
tight, despite his advantage in height and
reach, and the fact that Choynski broke
his hand IN the contest. Since then Choyn-
ski has improved wonderfully. He is a
skillful boxer, though not Corbett's equal
in that respect, but he is a much harder
hitter than the ex-bank clerk, and if the
men were to meet again it is very doubtful
whether Choynski would not turn the
tables on his conqueror in early youth.
Goddard whipped Choynski in four rounds
both times they met, and Choynski did
not have broken hand either. 1t is also
claimed that when the Barriers cham
pion met Peter Jackson in an eight
round set-to he would have knocked
out the colored man if the contest
had lasted few more rounds, whereas Cor
bett had over four hours in which to whip
Jackson, and the best he succeeded in do
ing was to make the contest a draw.
Judging from the battles of Goddard with
Jackson and Choynski and Corbett with
the same two men, the Barriers champion
is not in the Californian's class. He is
two or three grades above him. 1t is al
no show with the hard-hitting man from
the Barriers. Corbett is skillful and
pretty boxer, but he cannot hit hard, and
is not fighter of the highest class by any
means. His only battles have been those
with Choynski when Corbett was young
man and his antagonist a mere boy, and
his contest with Jackson. CorbetG has
bested Jake Kilrain, very slow man, in a
six-round contest of scientific boxing,
which by no means indicates that he can
whip the Baltimorean, and also outboxed
in few scientific rounds Dominic Mccall
fiery, newspaper tighter, who is celebrated
only as loser of battles. Now this is
Corbett's record in the ring, and on the
strength of 1t he classes himself
as worlds champion and speaks
contemptuously of such men
as Goddard and Choynski, who
have engaged in numerous battles and
have always fought gamely and well. Cor
bett has not made a tight since his draw
with Jackson. He has refused to meet the
negro again, despite the latter's conces-
sions TO him, and he has refused to meet
Savin. The Californian is travelling over
the country exhibiting himself as great
tighter and telling about how at the end
of a year ne will hight any man in the
world. His theatrical engagement will be
over by that time, but unless be does more
than Dragging the American people are
apt TO weaken on him and cease TO patron
ize him. Corbett is a man who could
have made himself pugilistic idol, and
is a tighter who started out with the best
wishes of all, but he has proved himself to
be anything but game man, and his con-
slant Dragging is disgusting everybody
with him. He should stop beiittling other
pugilists and prove that he himself is
fighter by meeting and whipping some
good man.

THE WONDERFUL RACKABoAR.
Curious Beast Captured in the Noun
tains of the Nile.
Eugene Field.


Lincoln park has new curiosity. We
regard il rs the most remarkable specimen
of animal life in the geological quarter. 1t
is a rackaboar, the gift of Edward q. Ma
son, the historian, who, at great expense,
has brought the rare and strange creature
from Egypt and presented ii TO the cura-
tors of our North Side park.
This curious beast was captured in the
wild mountainous country about 400 miles
above Cairo and a short distance back from
the Nile. 1t has somewhat the appearance
Of a goat, except that its fleece is very
curly and a bluish-black color, and ITS
neck is of extraordinary length. Its eyes
are surprisingly large and beautiful, and
its small head is surmounted by two
slender eorkscrev horns perhaps four
inches in length. The racka6oar

The majority of the entries in the tourn-
ament of the Olympic Tennis Club. which
begins tomorrow, have been made. An
effort IS being made 10 have the ladies of

Miss Collins. Miss Towles, Miss Riley and
perhaps others will do so. The teams for

Barker and Meserve, Pelly brothers,
Saunders and kelleher, Came and Palmer,
Wilmington and SkilIings. There will be
other entries. Mr.. G. w. Saunders will
act as manager of the tournament.
Correspondence is going on between the
Olympic club and the tennis club of Ia
coma in regard to arranging tournament
between the two. A Puget Sound Tennis
Association is also being agitated, to have
clubs in Seattle, Tacoma, Fairhaven and
Olympia, and to hold annual tournaments

New Paper for Government Bills.

Colonel Brown. superintendent of the
government mill, has received a sample
sheet of the new paper TO be used for
United States bills. 1t is called localized

that used heretofore. The new paper will
be distinguished by two lines of scattered
red and blue silk threads, one-quarter of

why Cigarettes Kill.

A post-mortem examination of two boys
who died from excessive cigarette smoking
took place at Prairie du Chen the other
day. The result of the autopsy was to
show that there was phosphorus in the
stomach, and the symptoms indicated
that death was caused by this substance,
combined with nicotine and an arsenical
solution used in the preparation of the
paper wrappers of the cigarettes.

planned Of sore arm all season. He
has taken part in only thirteen games,
catching in five and playing the second
base in eight. Ewing's salary ls proba-
bly, as that of any player In the League
aud he draws his salary regularly twice
a month. His ''glass arm" more than
anything else, has blasted the hopes OF
the pennaEt-aspiring Gothamites. Buck
is general of rare ability behind the
bat, but In giving directions from the
bench he appears to be failure. 1t is
safe to say that had he been In condi-
tlon In the forepart of the season the
New Yorks would certainly have been
in lead at present.
The Clevelands have two white ele-
plants on their hands in Baatin and
Knauss, both pitchers. Knauss was Sc
cured after good deal of trpuble last
spring, and much was expected OF him.
But he proved useless, He pitched
only one full game this season, and
parts of two games. Beatip, at one
time a mainstay of the team, has done
almost nothing this year but draw his
salary. He occupied the box in four
games, only one of which ended In a
victory for his side.

EVANSVILLE.

GAINESVILLE, September 12.-As yet
nothing has been heard in regard to the
missing Gamenthaler boy. Why he should
stay away from home is a mystery TO all.
He has a pleasant home here, his parents
! are well-to-do people and he had every
thing that goes TO make an agreeable home.
It's thought that work will be commenc-
ed on our paved streets next week. Chas.
ROsser, of Bellaire, has the contracts and
work has already been begun on the city
cisterns and curling.

weekly shoot yesterday afternoon. For
beginners some OF the members did some

ont of twenty-five birds, while "Spikevv
Bennett killed sixteen.
The new foundry for the Watt Mining
Car Wheel Company is nearly ready for the
roof. although they will not be able to oc-
cupy them before Thanksgiving.
It seems now that the Council will be per-
mitted TO proceed with the Renner impeach-
ment case, as Judge Phillips, ofZanesville,
Dissolved the injunction against them last
Saturday and gave Renner ten days to ap-
peal the decision. As yet there have been
no steps taken for an appeal so far as we can
learn.
Quite anumber of our people attended the

week. All report il the largest fair Wheel

Harry Fowler made application to the

right TO be manager of the City Opera
House, but the application was laid on the
table until the next meeting. Why not do

man and the arrangement would no doubt
be benefit TO theater- going people. AT
the present time an agreeable answer to
him seems TO be forthcoming.

SHIELD OF HONOR.

Zane Lodge No. l is still holding the
lead in West Virginia, and every meet
ing night new accessions are made to its
ranks aud its membership to-day ex-
ceeds $50. The reason therefor is APP
parent by the fact that they are paying
81 600 to the widow or her heirs after
the decease OF a member, and five dol
dollars sick benefit during his Illness.
over $40, 900 have already been paid In
this city during the last six months and
some Of them have paid less than So,
making certainly a large percentage on
their investment. tits no wonder why
cOu6 az than offers better Inducements
than the Shield Of Honor.
