O'Rourke Makes Some More Very Unsatis-
factory Talk About Them.
NEW YORK, Dec 26-I Special IA meet
ing between Johnny Griffin and George
Dixon will probably be the next pugilistic
event to be arranged. Negotiations are
now pending for such a match, and the
Crescent City Athletic Club, of New Or
leans, have been asked to offer a liberal
purse for the affair. Nothing has been men,
toned regarding the weight question. Not
withstanding the fact that Griffin and 'Aus-
trslian Billy" Murphy are practically
matched O'Rourke said to-day to a repor-
ter:
"When Captain Williams, of the Cres-
cent City Club, was in this city he called on
me and asked whether there was any chance
of Dixon and Griffin coming together. I
told him that believed so. Since then I
have received word from him stating that
the Crescent City Club, as soon as they re-
ceived any encouragement, would offer q
purse. 1 expect the New Orleans people
will agree on an offer within few DAYS 1
will hold out, can assure you, for the big
inducement. A side bet will have to be
made, too"
This evening Dixon met his old oppo-
nent Tommy Kelly, in a three-round bout
at the Olympic Theater, Harlem. The pair
put up a stiff set-to, but the champion
showed repeatedly that he could have easily
finished Kelly in one round if he desired.

RIDGES OF MOUNTAIN CHAINS.
The Supposed Canals on Mars May Not Be
Canals After All.

The Supposed Canals on Mars May Not Be
Canals After All.
Chicago Tribune.1
Mr.. j. M. Schaeberle, Of the Lick OBJ
servatory, has just introduced new elsS
ment into the discussion about the "canals'S
of Mars 1t has generally been assumed
that the darker areas on that planet are
water surfaces and the lighter regions COM
tineuts and islands. As the canals are
dark in color, it was naturally inferred that
they must be channels filed with water. 8
Mr.. Schaeberle, as a. result Of his studies
of Mars with the great telescope during the
last summer, suggests the possibility that
the astronomers may have been mistaken
about the meaning of the colors on Mars.
and that the dark areas may really be the
lands of that planet, and the Light areas the
seas. ..
One of his reasons for this conclusion 10
that at times some of the bright arms ap-
near more than usually brilliant, as though
the rejecting surface were in state OF ag1-
tation. The contrasts, he thinks, are like
those witnessed in light reflected from
calm and an agitsted water surface.
But if Mr.. Schaeberle is right then the
'GcanaIs" are not canals, not water courses,
but phenomena connected with the land De
suggests that they may be the ridges OF
mountain chains which are almost wholly
immersed in water. The double canals"
then would represent parallel mountain
ranges, such as we have upon the earth.

VOTED AS THEY PLEASED.

A West Virginia County That Ignored the
Australian Ballot Law-They Are Inde-
pendent There, Regardless of COnse-
quences-An Imputation Resented.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, Dec. 26.-The
new Australian ballot system is in bad re-
pute in at least one county of this State.
The citizens of Lincoln county are in Q
habit of running things ''as we please. 1"
On tine Sth of November the voting COM
menced at Hearts Creek precinct in due
form, according to the provisions of the
session of the Legislature.
The balloting had continued only short
time when the natives, not forgetting the
States motto, "Montani Semper Liberi, I"
came to the conclusion that the Australian
method was too slow and tedious. The clerks
and ballot commissioners were given per-
emptory orders by the voters to retire, and
they then proceeded to demolish the booths.
They swore they wouldn't have any more
of the Australian nonsense, but would
vote according to the old method in vogue
before the war-viva voce. The clerks
were ordered to record the votes, and the
operation of the American franchise pro-
polls closed in the evening the votes were
counted, the tally sheets made up and for
warded to the County Clerk in due form of
law, and the fact that the citizens of Hearts
Greek had repudiated the Australian ballot
law would probably never have been known
to the outside world, had it not been for a
contest on the vote for Sheriff. The election
of Sheriff for Lincoln county hinges on the
vote of Hearts Creek.
1t may be interesting to know that this is
the home of the late Paris Brumfeld, who,
before starting out one morning, beat his
wife numerically as a matter of amuse-
ment. When he returned he was met BY
his son with a Winchester rifle. who or
dered the old man to halt and not to enter
the house. He remarked that he usually
did as he id pleased" on his own
premises, and pushed ahead. He received
two balls from the deadly Winchester and
died upon his doorstep.
The citizens of Hearts Creek quickly re-
sent the imputation at all times and on all
occasions that they are afraid to do as they
id please"

NEW YORK, Dec 26-The match be-
tween Jack McAuliffe and Dick Burge for
a s45,O0O purse before the Coney Island
Athletic Club is still uncompleted. The
only apparent reason of this disappointing
state of affairs is owing to Dick Burgess
representatives refusing to sign articles
containing the clause that both men must
deposit forfeit of $40, 900 each, as espec-
tally stipulated BY McAulitfe in the agree
ment he signed Saturday night. and the
weight question.
Under these circumstances Ben Benton
and Jack Haggertv, the famons English
swimmer, who are here to represent Burge's
interests, refused to sign unless McAulitte
comes to a more favorable understanding.
Judge Newton and Johnny Eckhardt,
matchmaker and referee of the Coney
Island Athletic Club respectively, met
Benton and Haggerty as per agreement
early this morning in the Sturtevant House
for the purpose of clinching the match:
if possible. If there was any inkling at all
that Burgess representatives. would agree
to McAuliffe's terms the latter, who was in
an adjacent saloon, would have been called
in to consummate the match. After
wrangling all day up to z o'clock this even
ing nothing came of the talk. and Match
maker Newton and Referee Eckhardt de-
parted in disgust.
Burgess people will meet Judge Newton
again tomorrow morning, when it is hoped
that an agreement will be reached. It is
the opinion now that McAuliffe is anxious
to see Burge and measure him up" before
signing, as he is afraid that he will go up
against stiff game like Dempsey. 1t Is

Julius Caesar at the Grand.

Great credit is due to Manager G. D.
Will tor securing such frst-class attrac-
ton as Mr. Charles Hanford and his COM
pany, who appeared in Shakespeare
"Jul1us Caesar" at the Opera House yester-
day.
Mr.. Hanford was seen in his old role of
Marc AntOny. So many good actors have
played that part that it is hard to
identity it with any one single
person. Furthermore, it does not embody
many different traits of character, nor had
Mare Antony at the time of CEsdr's death
attained enough prominence in Roman his
tory to become the center of an entire play.
To say, therefore, that Hare Antony is to
Charles Hanford what Hamlet is to Booth or
Rip Van Wrinkle is to Jefferson would be to
put an unbecoming check on Mr.. Hanford' s
career. This can be said, though, that
he is one of the best Mare
A,,tony'S now on the American STAGE
His training years with the leaders of
American dramatic art Messrs Booth and
Barrett have left their mark on his work.
His stage appearance makes him favorite
with the public the minute he enters. His
bearing is manly and graceful; bis gestures
forcible and expressive without auy exag-
geration, and his voice has the right ring
for heavy roles He is able to balance on
the trasical Kothurne without overtopping,
and sustains throughout the whole per-
formauce the dignity and heroic air belong
ing TO an ancient Roman. Few ever
equaled him and none surpasses him in the
famous peroration over the dead body of
the great dictator.
A Christmas audience is always very
''mixed," D." and it must be credited entirely
to masterful effort of Mr. Hantord that the
renowned forum scene was gone through In
deadly silence, as the performance at other
places very often was interrupted by dis
graceful behavior on the part Of the public
Marcus Br1aus was played by Mr.. Bennett
Matlack; his work is very sincere and shows
unmlstakable signs of painstaking; but the
high-spirited and stern personality of
Brlaus seemed to be too heavy burden tor
Mr.. Matlack to carry. 1t requires an actor
of long training and considerable ability to
play the part of CdiHs Cdssi1ts; and it was,
therefore, pleasure to witness the credit
able way in which Mr.. j. r. Spencer ac-
quilted himself Julius Cesar is often in
the hands of a second-class actor; so much
more gratifying it is to note that Mr. Ed
ward n. Hoyt was an agreeable exception.
The scenery was, perhaps, as said in the
programme, the same as used in the "Booth
and Barrett" production, but little fresh
paint on some of the Senatorial seats and
Corinthian columns would improve 1t
greatly. Having seen the mob scene as
''Die Meinninger" presented it, it would
be invidious to draw comparisons, for the
reason that probably no other company
ever equaIed it. The production met with

Before Slavin was whipped by Peter jack

the story goes.
One night, when the ''tof," Slavin and

that he and Hall intended to visit the

that Slavin had better go home.
Slavin, on hearing this, addressed the

had better button up your pocket.
No sooner had Slavin said these words

the story, but its source is perfectly relia-

that say can lick him in four rounds
He is very lucky that did not knock him

him at his benefit he sent no less than five
men asking if would go light with him.
Up to the present time have had nothing
but kind words for him, but now must
say he is acting like big loafer and is
playing the by act. 1t makes me tired
to read his snivelling interviews. Sullivan
is now fighting with his mouth and that is
about all he will do. say now, without
swearing by mothers hair, that Sullivan
will never be champion as long as am able
to walk. I'm done saying pretty things
about him. As far as his being drugged is
concerned, don't believe It. But that
talk is all well enough to create sympathy
Why, that man had simply mesmerized the
people of this country before met him.
People thought he was great fellow. If
had known that he was made of such fiimsy
stuff would have done him quicker than I
did Please convey my compliments to Mr..
Sullivan and tell him that am willing to
fight him in October. 1 want to convince
him once and for all that he is no longer
champion and isn't going to be. Ii he wants
to fight, now is the time to sign papers and
make arrangements. II he does not mean
