Thus, according to the table. Corbett
was hit a total of So times. Sullivan 1sS
times, McAuliffe 50 times and Myer ll9
times, and that it took 143 head and 40
body blows to knock Sullivan out. Cor
bett must have rained blows on the big
fellow. for the latter was pounded q times
in the last round. only four of which were
on the body. 1t will be noticed that in
the seventeenth round Corbett delivered
only three hits, which is accounted for by
the fact that in the preceding round Sulli-
van delivered his first powerful right-hand
blow, which staggered Corbett and made
him cautious In the fifth the champion
began the smuggling by banging Sullivan
eleven times in the mug, drawing first
blood. In the above table it cam be seen
that Myer took considerable punishment
before succumbing to McAuliffe.

daughter of wealthy merchant of Chey.
enne. Wyo. According to Whites story
of the affair, he met Mrs. Maggie at Hot
Springs, Ark, In the summer Of 1891, and
they became interested in each other
He finally made the woman what she
termed business proposition" and
offered to marry her for 100000. He
went to Europe. and daring his absence
he corresponded with Mrs. Nagle, who
decided to accent the offer. and SO in
formed White by mail. He at once re-
turned to America aad proceeded to
Cheyenne, where they were married.
Previous to the ceremony an attorney
drew up a regular contract. in which the
bride promised to settle upon White the
amount he asked for. White says she
paid So, 900 in cash, but still owed SIS, 900,
which she was unable to raise, and he
therefore took the securities, which caused
his arrest.
According to Mrs. Whites story, the
prisoner obtained securities and bonds
worth $4,000 from her by means of vio-
lence and fraud, and also practically
abducted her 16-year-old son. 1t is said
that shortly after her marriage White
abused his wife and compelled her to sign
a mortgage on various pieces of property,
besides forcing her to endorse note for
$4,000 payable in ninety days after date
He then left his wife, taxing with him the
stocks and bonds belonging to her valued
at $4,000, and on his arrival here con-
verified them into cash and kept the pro-
ceeds
White also disposed of mortgages signed
by Mrs. White, but an injunction had been
granted in Cheyenne preventing the trans
ters being officially recorded there. Sheri #
Kelly, of Cheyenne, who is here with
requisition papers, says that as soon as
White learned that the cheyenne police
had complained to the superintendent
about the detention of young Nagle. he
promptly put the boy on a train and sent
him to Rock Island, Ill.,, where the boys
grandmother lives. Tie case was brought
to the attention of the police by telegram
from Cheyenne asking f5r Whites arrest
and requesting them IL secure the boy,
George Nagle.

satisfied that the bicycle sulky Is decided ad-

The Coming Carriage

The twin-wheel cycle is unquestion-
ably the coming solitaire carriage,
and the ingenious mechanic who is
able to put upon the market at n
reasonable price such n conveyance
will not only much glory but many
dollars. The old-style high wheel,
over the top of which the rider sat
perched like bird on twig, was a
menace to life and limb; but twin
wheels, n half-square-shaped steel
axle, rugged with seat and box for
tools, oil-can and the like, or with
larger facilities for parcels, and with
an apron and cover and easily
managed steering-gear, would pro-
vide all of the elements of success.
Add TO this an electric motor, and
there is no reason why, with wheels
eight or more feet in diameter, the
rider might not go out for spin and
cover fifty or sixty miles an hour
with very little effort and absolute
safety. OF course, a high rate of
speed by any means nocessitates
alertness, care and n quick eye and
hand, but these often come with
practice, and few iudiciously-dis-
tributed headers and break-downs
will in ordinary cases, entirely quench
the enthusiasm or cultivate that
rareiulness without which no rider
either of steed or steel is safe when
out of the reach of teacher or guard

Houghton, Wash, Sept. 5, '92.
| Editor News and CitiZen:-
l suppose that some of your read
ers still have a curiosity about the
extreme Northwest. as well as about
other parts of the country. Although
we are not having boom such as
we had two years ago, and the times
are not so lively as in some sections
of the East, still there are a few who
continue to make inquiries, attract
ed partly by the climate and hoping
in some cases to recover lost health.
The speculative boom is not ON at
present, at least in the form of reg
ular craze. hope sincerely it never
will be again.
But it must be noted that dull
times are much the best for those
who are in search of a home and
mean to improve it up and live upon
it. The reason is evident-land can
be had in quietuSimenst. reasonable
prices. Now is . those
who do not e rte, and
view to speculation, 'Une same rea-
sons apply. You must buy when
people want to sell and sell when
they want to buy.
Right in this little burg the times
have been the same as elsewhere on
the Sound, l suppose. Acertain num-
Der were anxious to get suddenly
rich, when the land boom was rising,
and mortgaged all they had to buy
more. The collapse of the boom has
left them in danger of losing all.
Some of them will tide over the dam
ger, but not everyone. Business has
indeed been very dull for about eight
cen months, until about June of this
season, when there began to be lit
tie improvement. A few enterprises
have been started that will lift us out
of the slough of despond. A woolen-
mill has been built that will employ
from rs to 100 hands; will open in a
few days. A wooden-wara factory is
going up, to employ 40 will be
ready for business in about month.
A shingle-mill is now running that
gives employment to 30. Our saw
mill, built three years ago, takes 80
hands when running full; but at
present have shut down for q while.
These are small concerns compared
with our big steel-works that were
begun two years ago, but, for rea-
sons not known to the public, have
suspended operations. We are not
expecting them to resume before an
other spring, but the ship-canal to
connect Lake Washington with the
Sound may possibly be started up
before long, and this project would
be of great Importance to us. Con-
gress has thus far declined to make
an appropriation for it, but private
enterprise may accomplish it.
We are enjoying life in our home on
the lake as much as ever; goto town
often for business or pleasure. Seat
tie is growing steadily-has a popu-
lation now of about $4,000. 1t is
only four miles across to the Madi-
son. street line of cable cars. Steam
ers go every hour. Weare hoping to
attend the exposition at Chicago
next season, and go on from there to
Vermont. Shall then be able to see
some of our old friends. Hope to be
remembered by them.
Respectfully,

What Some Things Have:Cost.

The magnificent national Capitol
at Washington has cost, since the
laying of it's cornerstone in 1893,
very nearly SIS, 100000, but the
state capitol of New York at Albany,
although not yet completed accord
ing to the architects designs. has al
ready cost almost $20,000,0OO, and
is the most expensive building of
modern times.
The largest and most expensive
city hall in the United States is that
of Philadelphia, and it's principal
tower is to contain the largest clock
in the world.
The greatest price eyer paid for a
horse was $50, 900, given by Mr..
Malcolm Forbes. of Boston, for Arion,
which he bought of Senator Stanford
of California. Axtel, the trotter,
brought $105, 900 when three years
old, while in 1891 st. Blaise was sold
for 100000.
One hundred and three thousand
dollars has been offered and refused
for Hebrew Bible nowin the library
of the Vatican at Rome. This makes
it the most valuable book in the
world, so far as dollars and cents go.
In 1886, when the entire Dutch ma
ton was crazy upon the subject of
tulips, a single bulb was sold for
$4,000. At such prices it would pay
better to raise tulips than to own the
most valuable gold mine in the
world.
Speaking of gold mines, where do
you suppose the most valuable bit of
ore ever smelted in the world, so far
as is known, was found? In Califor-
MIA or Australia or India? No, in
deed. 1t was a lot containing 200
pounds of quartz-holding gold at the
rate of $4,000 per ton, and was
found in a mine at Ishpeming, Mich
igan.
The costliest cigars ever exported
from Havana were quantity made
expressly for the Prince of Wales,
and valued at $1.S7 apiece in the fac
tory.
The largest sum ever asked or Of
fered for single diamond was $2,-
10000, which the Prince of Hyder-
abad, in India, agreed to give the
jeweler who then owned the lmpe-
rial, which is considered the finest
stone in the world.
The Shah of Persia and the Sultan
of Turkey each possesses a prayer
mat, or rug, made of diamonds and
pearls, and valued atsOmething over
50, 100000 apiece. The largest and
most expensive rug in the world,
made of the ordinary materials of
which such things are manufactured,
is owned by the Carlton club of Lon
don.
A broken wooden horse, with which
Napoleon Bonaparte played when a
child, was recently sold for 1000
francs.
Think of paying $25O,O00 for a
single meall That is what wealthy
Roman once did, when he wished to
impress a dozen guests with his dis
regard for riches.
The most valuable of modern
paintings is Meissonier's "1S14,"
which was bought by Frenchman
for $4,000. The same gentleman
paid $15O,OOO for 1.-THE Angelus,"
by Millet, of which you all have
doubtless seen photographs or other
reproductions. - Harper's Young
