Didn't Come to See Him,

Two pretty young women mystified
the attendants at the hearing on clos
ing the Columbian fair on Sunday,
says Kate FictFS Washington. The
hearing was appointed for half an hour
after ID o'clock. but they came at half
past 9. and the clerk of the committee,
rather interested at the event, told
them the hour appointed Yes, they
knew it. Were they interested in
closing the fair Sunday" One of them
said they were. "And is that all YOU
really came for?" asked the clerk, sur
prised for once out of his serenity.
The prettier one looked him in the
eye with cold eontemptuous stare,
and said: Maybe you think we came
up here to see your handsome chair
man; but we didn't" The clerk went
outside to tell Durborow that there
were two girls inside who ditiitt want
to see him. and the girls waited in
triumph.

in his community, stating verbally

1t was Il paper for the benefit of Mr..
Smith. OF course every one was glad
: to benefit Smith in 50 cheap Il way,
and the paper was soon signed by
nearly everybody in the community.
The joker then chose a day when nearly
all the signers would be present at the
county seat for presenting the petition
to the court. There was Il hush in the
courtroom rs the whisper went round
that the petition for Smiths benefit
was about to be acted upon. His

ARTIFICIAL PARASlTISM.
Cranky People Who Are Deyourcd by
Imaginary Creatures.

"CrankS bother lis occasionally"
said Entomologist Howard of the de-
partment of agriculture to-a Washing
ton star writer. a man down in
Florida recently sent us word that he
was in great distress of mind. While
he was bathing in the ocean horrible
sea centipede' had got into his ear.
Notwithstanding the utmost efforts
made by physicians whom he had
+ called in. the creature still remained
there and occasioned him the most
dreadful agony. clawing at the drum
of the ear and the delicate membranes
within the passages.
This was yer unpleasant. of course.
and it had finally occurred to him that
the bureau of entomology Of Washing
ton might suggest a remedy. Recent

shed legs. a number of which he had
preserved. Unless he obtained relief
he said he was convinced that he would

I'VE wrote to him, saying that we
would be glad if he would send us some
of the Ices which the centipede was
alleged to have she'd He responded
by sending us a few particles Of skin
and a dozen or so of such small hairs
as grow within the external opening
of the ear. Among these specimens
there was not to be found any sign of
legs of any insect or other creature.
1t was rs we had supposed. the mans
complaint was simply imaginary.
a similar case occurred not long
ago in which the sufferer was an elder
II gentleman living abroad, whose son
sent to him from this country copies
of certain American newspapers. lie
wrote that these publications had

the mails some dreadful parasites,
which had attacked him and were

THE LAWYER WON,

The ownership of dog was con
tested by lawyer and farmer in
Moberly, Mo. The dog was worth
about ten cents, but the costs of the
suit amounted to over SIoo. These
the farmer had to pay, as the law
gave the dog to the other claimant.
The farmer was mad, but the dog
didn't seem at all displeased as he
went off with the lawyer.

The cause of chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
People have taken "Blood Purifiers
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
DR.. Shoop has taken a step in advance
of all others, by giving special study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain nerueS have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs. When
these neryeS are weak, or exhausted the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack Of ne1Ue force.
DIR. sHoGp's Restorative is a
stomach, liver and kidney cure, as it acts
upon the nerves that control these organs.
Not "Nervine," but nerve food. 1t
aids digestion, cures dyspepsia and bill
iousnes by remoring the cause.
Is it not reasonable
I A trial will convince you.

WAS 1T A FAKE?
DID SULLIVAN SELL OUT The PRIZE FIGHT
TO CORBETT?
Local Sports Who Are Suspicious That Everything
Was Not on the dead fquare"-SOme Of
the Reasons Given.

What did you think Of the Sullivan
Corbett fight?" asked reporter of
sporting friend whom he had not seen
since the consummation Of the big New
Orleans mill which gave the world a
new champion pugilist.
"Well," he replied, sit was a great
fght-if it wasn't fake"
what do you mean by that remarks"
"Simply this. 1 don't believe there
was enough superiority on the part OF
Corbett over misunderstanding that ne
was really the better man-to knock
Sullivan out in twenty-one rounds.
There never was such an inducement to
sell fight, and 1 am one who believes
it was thrown by Sullivan. lie stood 10
win a good deal more money by losing
the fight than he could by winning 1t,
and everything looks TO me as though
deal was made. There have been
number of things to convince me OF
that. We all know Sullivan's strength,
his abilities, and his bulldog tenacity,
and knowing what we do about him, DO
you suppose he would give in as he did,
after standing up for seventy-two
rounds on one occasion. All the talk
about Sullivan being punished is bosh.
You'll notice he scarcely hit Corbett
one good lick, and Corbett really didn't
maui him very acknowledgment enough
at all events, to knock out man OF
John L. Sulliyan's strength and ablll-
ties. Had Sullivan really been in 1t for
blood he would have died right in the
ring rather than be whipped, and 1t
would have required very much more
beating than Corbett gave him to have
knocked him out Of the fight. Another
thing-the men were too good friends
before the fight and after it. They
have been about as loving as a bride
and groom, taffyiag each other both by
word of mouth aud by letter, and to-day
they were to have personal meeting
to talk over matters. 1t all looks
little queer. Why, even the way
Sullivan was dressed and handled is
suspicious, and | recall another thing.
One of Sulivan's friends-I forget his
name at this moment-handed hacker
Oh JOuu = q CuGSh 4Ol 4lSOLA ShONSHiAN
TO bet on the champion. The hacker
didn't do it, and after allowing the
owner of the check to sit pale as
ghost all through the mill, handed the
piece OF paper back to him intact at
the end. Wasn't that queer? Doesn't
it look like the hacker had tip and the
man with the eighteen thousand wasn't
on? Just wait awhile, and [ predict
the whole thing will leak out. Sulli-
van knew that he had to lose sooner or
later, and he wanted the Championship
to stay in America. Corbett was a
good man to hold it, was willing to
make a deal, and there you are. No
man can tell me that man can stand
up before John L. Sullivan for ten
rounds, let alone twenty-one, and never
get mark on his face or body. 1t
don't go down with me-"

THERE is much complaint on the part OF
Terminal Railroad people about COWS and
horses being allowed TO ramble around
over the railroad track in the vicinity OF
the east end Of the Seventeenth street
bridge. On two or three occasions trains
have narrowly escaped being ditched IN
that locality through this cause.
PROBABLY few people in the city took
greater interest in the recent pugillstlc
carnival in New Orleans than the members
of the Wheeling Athletic Club. Boxing is
a sport that is carried on TO some extent in
this club, and there are several very clever
wielders of the mittens. 1t is great exer-
