the friend arrived. The latter said his visit
was on the impulse of the moment while
passing the house and that there was no
collision.
The loss Of. Miss Fancher's powers of sec
ond sight was coincident with a strange
change In her physical condition. This was
ABOUT nine years ago. For seventeen years
she was said to have lived on less than
healthy person would have consumed in a
week. In fact, her stomach and intestines
had shrivelled up and virtually disappeared,
and all abdominal functions ceased. Then
she began to crave the juice of fruits and
occasionally the broth of mutton or beef.
Then she seemed to assimilate food and the
functions of the body were resumed. In a
short time she began to gain flesh, and from
mere skeleton she rapidly as
sumed the proportions of wo-
man OF robust health. Then
her clairyoyant power left her. Over
twenty years ago she became blind, deaf
and speechless. She had frequent spasms,
from which she would drift into trance
state. One day she recovered her lost
senses for half an hour and then lost them
again and went into a trance that lasted,
with brief intervals, for nine years. AT
these intervals the only sense that re-
manned to her was that of speech. The
desire for food disappeared completely,
and during those years she cid not con-
sumo a pound of even liquid nourishment.
Mss Fancher is now forty-two years old.
While in the zenith of her notoriety as a
second sight seer she was visited by many
eminent men of this country. Some OF
them thought at first Miss F'ancher was a
mind reader, meSmerist, or hypnotlst but
several severe tests disproyed their theo-
ries. This return of Miss Fancher's re-
markable power will again attract univer-
sal attention.

Slavin interviewed.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch. !
NEW York, Jan. Frank p. Slavin's
declaration that he would throw up his
match with Peter Jackson and remain in
this country until he succeeded in arrang-
ing a finish contest with John L. Sullivan,
to-day caused no end of talk in sporting
circles. Slavin and Mitchell were up at an
early hour, and the first thing Slavin did
after breakfast was to send cablegram to
John Dougherty, his Australian hacker:
'My hacker in London refuses to find
money for a contest in America. Iexpect
TO find il in Australia. Slavin."
81 promise you that l shall have match
with Sullivan on his own terms" said
Slavin to a reporter. "There is no chance
for slip up on my part, for can back
lmyself If it comes to that, and l would
lfar rather do that than let the chance
slip"
''You expect an answer from Australia,
then in a day or two" was asked.
"Forty-eight hours should be plenty of
timen replied Slavin. but l shall not
cable to England again before Sunday IN
less / receive an unsatisfactory message
from Dougherty in the meantime"
you are determined TO break off with
Jacksonp
II aIQ llQSeQ, CldVlu answered.. II see
no reason why l should consult Mr..
Piesse's interests after the message he
sent me yesterday. As far as jackson is
concerned, why he can wait, In England,
some years ago after he beat Smith, Par
son Davies promised me match with him.
When / beat Smith or rather fought a
draw with him, jackson and his manager
hurried off TO America to fight Sullivan
for the S25, 600 purse offered by the Califor-
,,s, Al -l,nh 10 m no fNa1erl ~
Sullivan, and now that have a chance, l
mean to make him wait a while''
'Du you think that you will have an
easy thing with Sullivaus" asked the re-
porter.
"By no means, "the Australian replied
with emphasis. sullivan is great
fighter, and l have never said that l could
beat him. l can do my best, and no man is
expected to do more. They can say what
they like about Sullivan, but he is a great
fighter. l have not the slightest doubt
IN go against him. l have come here to
meet the best man in your country, and
that man is John L. Sullivan, of Boston.
No matter what the newspapers may say
about me, / am honest in my intention, and
i shall prove it before l leave America"
1t appears that the six-round boxing ex-
hibition between Corbett and Mitchell
which was scheduled for February IL at
Madison Square garden, is off for good.
The Californian recenl y declared that he
did not propose to engage in any cantest in
which the law might take hand. Mitchell
has been willing all along to go on with it
but since Corbett's statement was pub
lished he has concluded to let the matter
drop for he figures that crowd of sport

Black yomir Rayages at santos.

LONDON, ian. Lord Salisbury re
ceived to-oss special cable dispatch from
her malesty's cousul at Santos, confirming
the recent alarming reports in regard tx
the terrible ravages of combined yellow
fever and smallpox. Eighteen captains OF
merchant vessels have died either from the
black vomit or small pox within two
months. On some vessels the entire ships
company, officers ana crew persisted. 1t is
estimated at least two-thirds of the persons
attacked died. The great majority of the
victims were emigrants and sailors. The
consul says much greater mortality than
now exists is looked for during the no,
months of January and February.

But il he had spoken the truth about the matter
he would have told you that the first volume OF
the latest edition of the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA was issued fifteen years ago, and that the
greater part of it was compiled at that date.
So you see they didn't get General Grant in 10
after all.
That depends on the kind of book you want.
Let me ask you question or two. You live
here in the United States, don't you?
Yes, I thought so. Now tell me. about which
do you want the most detailed information, an
American city or an English town? An Amer
lean statesman or an English statesman?
Just so. But, you see, the Encyclopedias
Britannica wasn't compiled for the use of men
like you. 1t was put together to be used by
Englishmen IN England. And, you see, they
want the exact opposite OF what you do, and the
Encyclopedia Britannica, very properly, gives
it to them. 1t fills pages with the account OF
some insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know anything
about whatever, aud gives half dozen lines to
some State city here that you want the fullest
particulars of, but about which an Englishman

exactly right all the same, It's the AMERI-
propose to put in every home in the West. The
long-winded articles on petty British subjects
have been cut down to the same length that
would have been given them had they been
French or German subjects, and the articles on
matters of American interest have been all re-

New YORK, Jan. Count Ferdinand

for two years. About year ago the count
was married to Miss Alma Loeb, daughter

ANSWERS.

1t IS very simple matter. We have arranged
with the Publishers of the Americsnized Ency-
olopedia Britannica to take large quantity OF
this work off their hands, thus securing remark
ably low price as well as singularly easy terms.
we propose to give the whole advantage Of this
transaction to our subscribers, and offer to de-
liver the entire set of the Americanized Encyclo-
paed1o Britannica on payment of 5 500 and your
signing contract to pay $3.50 month for 10
months $50 III all. This offer is made only IN
connection with years subscription to this

great deal can be done for eight cents dsy, es-
pecially when twenty or thirty thousand people
club their money and each puts his eight cents
into common stock.

his offer. II you'd done SO and seen the Ameri-
canized edition afterward you would have felt
like kicking yourself Isuppose your canvass
ing friend told you that the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica was simply the most complete work of

you that you might look for Ulysses S. Grant

I OF course he was, or pretty nearly 3d. But

about Sherman either, nor about Sheridan, nor
